Our Paris Correspondence, Panis, August 19, 1862. ‘Fee Changes in the Ministry— More Decrees—An- tietpated Marriage of Lowis Napoleon—Mov- ments of the President—M. Proudhon—Prine Jerome—ltaly—The Queen of England’s Tour— Rome—Constantinople— News from Athens. Among the excitements of the festival of the 15th Imstant, politics, as may be easily believed, has been Reglected, and I have but few items worthy being weationed in this correspondence. Nevwithetanding the assurance given by Louis Na- peleon that bis now ministry was firm, there have been rumors apread outside by which the public was Bea to believe that another change was at hand among the Presidont’s ministers. it was said that M de Persigny was to become Minister of State, in place Of M. Fould, who would resume his former Ministry @f Finance, and repleco M Bineau. M. Baroche would become Minister of the Interior and Vice President of the State Council. M.de Maupas was alee named as having many chances to become Minister of the Interior. Then M. Pietrie, the ac- tual Prefect of the Police, was to become Minister ef the Police, and M. Chevreau, Secretary of M. de Pessigny, Profect of Police. Movements. Nocte pluit tota, vedewnt spectacula mané. Never was the Latin poet written a sentence to express what has taken place in Paris for the last week. The rain bas disturbed all the arrangements of the fete given by Louis Napolecn to the people, on the 15th instant, in commemeration of those given un- der the reign of his uncle at the same epoeb; and at the present hour, the liquid element is pouring down by torrents frem the high clouds of the deep grey sky. We cannot complain of the dog days, for they have been as fresh as an autumn morning; bat we have some reason not to be contented with the end of the summer, for it is too wet to be called comfortable. This state of the atmosphere caused a great flood to take place in the Southern departmente of France, and along the shores of the Saone and the Rhone the damage has been considerable. The river Isere, in the department of that name, has also overflowed its banks, and qpvered the whole neighboring country, carrying away many bridges.

The marriage of Louis Napoleon to the Princess Vasa, is now considered by some newspapers as a Boissy, Mme. Salvage, the Baroness of Richemont, humbug, invented by the correspondent: o! the Bel- &e. The féte was splendid, and the lunch magnifi- cently furnished with all the deliceciee of the it apers, to filltheir letters and to make money Si twemy age centimes the line. When men write im that manner we cannot be surprised to hear of wuch stuii filling the public mind. Nevertheless, every eafe report makes me believe that Louis Napo- Jeon will be united ere long to Princess Vasa. The President is daily visiting the workmen of Paris, at the different places where they are engaged on the public works, and he pays much attention te the progress of the embellishments of Paris. Like his uncle, Louis Napoleon likes to arrive unex- d on the spot, only followed by one or two of is aids de-camp, and to see everything by himself. Ne one can deny that he tries means to be popular, and if he does not succeed, it will not be his fault. Besides all this, the President writes a great deal @aring his leisure hours, and he has collected an Mwmense Dumber of papers, which he keeps ina ‘ivate room at the Elysee. A few days ago, (on wurday last) whilst he was at St. Cloud, a fire broke out in that room, and, despite the immediate ” arrival of the firemen, it did so much damage that a great purt ofthese papers were burnt. Fortunately several servants were able to rescue the reliquaire of the Emperor, being al the articles which bad beem im the po: n of Napoleon the great—arms, jew- els, clothes, and a!so the talisman of Charlemagne>a ort of religuaire, which contained a part of the holy eross, and had been pi edto the Emperor Napo- Jeon by the city of Aix hapelle, and given by the Emperor to Qocen Hortense. Though many valua- ble documents have also been saved by the servants and firemen, too many others became the prey of the tlames. Much talk has been entertained here about the ‘queer letter of M. Proudhon, the renowned socialist writer, to Louis Napoleon, with the intention to ob- tain from him the permission of issuing a book, which he has composed during his imprisonment. Something very curiousto remark is, that M Proud- hon, the ferocious red republican, had so much changed since 1848 that he has become a flatterer of the present government. : The journey, or rather sea voyage, of Prince Jerome to the principal sea perts of the ehannel and of the Festival of the Assumption, ). had not been allowed to take place, have been allowed, this year, to go out of the churches, in all the cities, villlages, hamlets, and burgs of France. In the cities where the Protest- ants are in large numbers, as Nismes, Toulouse, Nantes, &c., these ceremonies of the Roman Catho- lie religion have been respected by all the oppo- nents of the Popish faith, and not the least disorder has been experienced. The festival arranged on the occasion of the erec- tion of the statue of Lesueur, at Dieppe, was cele- brated with much pageantry, ani attracted an im- mense number of visiters. The whole affair went off in a very brilliant style. At Tarascon, a bullfight, which took placo Suan- day last, was the cause of a terrible accident. A bull, the worst animal ever beheld in bullfight mem- ory, entered the arena, and within a second ran over ove of the taureadors, who wes pinned through the body and thrown dead upon the spot. Thishor- rible death ended the spectacle, which was immedi- ately cut short by the authorities of the city. It would have been preferable not to pormit it to be performed at all. A report made by the Mayors of the city to the Prefecture of Police, mentions that the pwaber of weddings which have taken place in Paris during the last eight months of the year, amounted to 12,797, th ided:— Single persons not before mar- ried, above 30 years, 80: from 20 to 30, 9,797: widows and widowers, first nuptials, 504; nuptials, 214; third nupti ‘ On the 14th ins: ‘iages took place in Paris. | The cholera is still raging in Poland, and Austrian | doctors have been sent to Warsaw to assist the lo- cal doctors in their duty.

In Africa, the young Murat, elder son of Prince Marat, has won much glory on the battle fields of Algeria, and was rewarded with the edvance- ment of brigadier, from the rank of a common sol- ier; for it will be remembered that he had enlisted as a youunteer a few months ago. The Minister of Public Instruction has for'vidden in all the public schools of France and its colenies, the use of the French history written by the Je- suit Loriquet, in which the author kad called the Dm- ror Napoleon Marquis of Bor , Commander- Eeoeral of the armies of his Majesty Louis XVIII. At such an epoch as ours, with the progress cf intel- ipence, a falsehood similar to that of the Father Loriquet’s qualification of Emperor Napoleon's title, was really shameful, aad deserved to be treated ‘iven to the public on Saturday last, the fair prima vias was deafened by the ee she was re- warded with by the audience. These applauses were not paid for—like those which are daily heardat the opera—and, asa matter of course, they were more | appreciated by Mme, Tedesco. t the Opera Comique, a musical burletta, in | one act, called ‘* Les Deux Jackets,” by M. Planard, | and the melodies by M. Justin Cadeaux, met with much success. Mesers Meillet, Carvaltho, and Mlle. Meyer, sang their parts with much succesz, and were rewarded with much applause. At the Gymnase, Messrs Dumanoir and Clair- ville have produced a comedy in three acts, entitled | “Les Avocate” (the Lawyers), which proved to be very successful. Messrs.

Count Rossi, the n Robert Bowne—Commodore Aulick’s Prompt In- terference—Arrest of the Pirates—The People of the Islands— Interview with their Chiefs—Satisfac- tion— The Coolies. On the reception of the news of the massscre of the captain and crew of the Robert Bowne, Commo- dore Aulick immediately despatched the Saratoga, 22 guns, Commander W. S. Walker, to Amoy, there to take such steps for the pursuit and punishment of the Coolies as ciroumstances might direct. The Saratoga had a tedious and long passage to Amoy; upon her arrival there she found that H. B. M. brig Lilly-had gone to the islands where the Coolies had been left. Gommander Walker thought it best to await her return, which happened the next day. The Lilly had been to the island of Pat-chung san, one of the Meia-Coshima group, where 350 Coolics had been living, not being able to get off the island She brought twenty-seven prisoners, whom anarmed expedition had captured, the rest botaking them- selves te the bush and mountains. Tho Lilly at once transferred her prisoners to the Saratoga, which ship immediately got under weigh, and stood tosea. Aftera voyage of three days, the Saratoga ran into the moe near the village built by te natives for the Coolies, and anchored. 3 There islands are almost unknown; many navi- gators are ignorant of their existence. Sir Bel- cher visited them in 1844, and gives a most interest- ing account ofthem. The natives are different from the Chinese or Japanese ; they wear the long robe, and tie the hair upon the top of the head in a hard knot, eecured with ping. Cowmander Walker sont his interpreter ashore to ask for an interview with the chiels; and the next morning a hut, rade but clean, was erected on the beach, and the coming of Commander Walker and his officers politely awaited. In the interview which took place, Commander Walker told the native chiefs of the erime committed by the Coolies, its heinousness, and the punishment which the laws of nations provided for it; explained to them that he had come there for the purpose of capturing and trying these pirates, aud that they must be given up. The chiefs replied that they were & simpleand unwarlike people; that they knew pothing of other nations; that the King of Loo Choo was their master ; that the Chinese had landed from the American ship, and sought their hospitality, and that they had given it to them; that upon the Saratoga appearing off the harbor all the Coolies had ran into the mountains; and, finally, they would be glad if we would tske them away, as they were idle and condemned their provisions, but that, bound by their own laws, they could not assist us. So, aiter an amount of ‘‘chin-chin-ing,” and the present of a bullock and some fowls, we separated that night at 100°clock. The Suratoga landed 120 armed men, divided into four divisions. Such was the prompt- ness and admirable behavior of the men, that though it was extremely dark, the country unknown, and in places inaccessible, distances of thirty and forty miles were accomplished by 6 o’clock in the morn- ing, and eighty Coolies captured. Theso were not in bodies, but scattered hidden all over the island, 60 that it was a mere hunt, and a long and tedious one ; only one or two Chinamen were killed. By 4 M, a9 23d, the Saratoga had these prigoners in irons, and ready to atone for the crime committed against our flag. During the 25th avd 26th of May a heavy typboon arose, and blew with frightful vio- Jence from the numerous coral reefs that surrounded us. The Saratoga was in great danger; but thanks to good ground tackle, and steady coolness and judgment in planting our anchor as the typhoon shifted, we rode it out in safety. On the 27th of May, after a return of go0d weather, another expedition has landed, similar to the first, with the firm intention of thoroughly scouring the island, and seizing every Cooley. But a succession of rain storms rendered it impracticable, so that Commander Walker thought that, under the circumstances, he had done weil—and I think so too, for it is no boy’s play for one hundred and twenty sailors to soour, and scour well, a section of country containing about sixty square miles, broken up by deep gulebes, ravines, rocks, mountains, and thick brush and chapparel. The Sarstoga returned te Kong Kong on the 7th of Juno, and found the Susquehonna hd followed us to Amoy, aad taken on board the prisoners brought back by the erew of the Bowne. Paul 8. Forbes, Beq , Consn] at Can- ton, assisted by Commander W. 8S Watker and Purser Barry, have just closed a long and impartial trial and ¢xaminaiion of ali the prisoners or ten have been identitied as leaders in the of the R Bowne, 2nd will be exeeuted at Whampor ina few days. The rest some eighty or ninery, (for many have dicd on board Saratoga) © to be conveyed to Amo is day bythe Sarat . and there landed. Sone two hundred are still at Pat-chung-san, but it is not likely they will be searched jor, as the dangerous nature of the navi- gation, and the approach of the typhoon season, would render it highly wasafe to expose the ships and men; and, further, the ends of justice will be answered by the execution of the most prominent ia the piracy, and the terror which has been struck into the rest by the instantancous manner in which they were followed up and apprehended. This is incomprehensible to the Chinese. They cannot understand how we found them out. The islands where they sought refuge are unknown to the Chinese; they speak a different language; they dress and act differently. All this goes to makea | strong and lasting impression; and as the conduct and strength of the American nation was power- fully impressed upon the Meia-Coshimas during the visit of the Saratoga, and those islands are tri- butary to Loo-Choo, which, in their turn, are tribu- tary to Japan, I think the whole occurrence will ee a considerable effect upon our Japan expedi- tion. Many strange scenes presented themselves to the observation of tho officers of the Saratoga, at Pat- chung-san—verifying the saying that one half of the world knoweth rot the other half. his I will make the subject of another letter. The inhabi- tants are simple to an extreme, ignerant of the use and nature of weapons of all kinds, and Nature's noblemen in politeness. Before leaving, Commander Walker sent on shore, as a present, a chest of tea, rice, sceds of various kinds, with some cloth, flan- nel, &c. They received them simply and _politely. A letter was written to Commander Walker, of which the following is a translation: — We thank you very much. Go away feom us, no more.

[From the London Sundey Times, August 15 ] When the present administration was first formed any persons appeared to delude themselves into the persuasion that it would only be of ao few weoke’ duration, and pase away like the plague or the cholera, or any other direfut tation, without leaving any permanent traces ef its passage on eur national interests. Let Lord Derby, they cried, be ellewed a fair trial, be e hie incapscity must soon be made evident, a which his overthrow, and the clevation of sound statesmen to office must follow immediately, as a matter of course. We ever were of this opinion, but insist on the necessity of turning ont the pro once, since they could not, we contended, continue in power without endangering the best interests of the empire, both at home and abroad. concerns the dom jef, abundant proofs were supp neral clection, when bribery and ii and persecution of all kinds moet piteb, so a3 to degrade ax lize utter! t the perpet ment We strenuously ntry. while. # directed their movements by letters written their own hands, and signed with their own ivitials. The poor voters were purchased in shoals, and the dishonesty and immorality of tho lowest classes were upheld and kept in countenance by the immo- ralities of the aristocracy and the governinent, which exhibited themselves with an effrontery and a cynicism wholly uzparalleled in the annels of party strife. Fresh illustrations of these facts are daily making their appearance, and we eannot en- tertain the shadow of a doubt that, before the meet- ing of Parliament, the amplest possible materials will be collected for making out a strong case against the government, preparatory toits being ex- pelled from office. But by far the worst and most dangerous of its proceedings remains to be pointed out. We moan the wanton attempt of Lord Derby to involve Great Britain in a war with the United States. It ap- pears that, for thirty-four years, the fishermen of the republic have becn allowed by treaty to fish at a certain distance from the coasts of the British colo- convinced the men below that a serious disturbance was enacting on deck; they, therefore, at once nies in North America, and a special pormission to do £0 in the Bay of Fundy was granted by the go- yernment, of which Lord Derby formed a@ part, in 1845. It wae at the eame time stipulated, that if this privilege—for it was only a privilege—were at any time to be withdrawn, due notice of the inten- tion of Great Britain should be given to the govera- ment of the United States, to avoid causing unne- ccssary injury or hardship to such citizens of that republic as might happen to be engaged in the fisheries. In violation of this agreement, Lord Derby has cent out a powerful fleet into the North American waters, net, perhaps, for the purpose of ousting the American fishermen, as has been stated, but certainly with the intention of withdrawing from them, without due notice, or the slightest ex- Libition of courtesy, certain couceszions formerly o them by England. It is eontidently reported, moreover, in the Unit:d States, that Lord Derby has another most offensive | object in view, namely, to force upon the republic the acceptarke of a “reciprocity” treaty, tor the purpose of establishing protection in disguise. But as no hope exists of succeeding in such an enter- prise, and as Lord Derby must be well convinced of the wbsence of all such hope, we are forced to the conclusion that the rash aud insulting step taken by our protectionist ministry aims at accomplishing something elee—namely, by plunging this country in a war with America, to arrest the rpreed and pro- gress of democratic ideas. When the revolution breke out in France, we were plunged into a war with that country for precisely the same purpoze, and the vulgar were taught to bate the French, in order that they might extend their hatred to the principles of liberty then possessed and advo- cated by them. At the present moment the political and social influcuce of the Wnited States upon the people of tas cowniry is incalculable... Their ex- ample is perpetually iniwen’s mouths ; their freedom from the curse @f aristocracy, from a State church, and from the enormous pressure of taxation, is ad- duced as #n argument in favor of democracy. To Bt a stop to this state of things Lord Derby and is colleagues would not be reluctant to pick a quar: rel with the United States, se that in the blaze ef | angry passions whioh would inevitably ensue on both sides of the Atlantic the peopie here might be made to retrograde in political ideas, while the zens of the Union could hardly fail to acquire deep- rocted amd stubborn prejudices against us. We know of no language culliciently strong to charac- terize the atroaty of euch an enterprise. ared States of North America. We are but two sections of theeame people, divided by the Atlantic, and by a certain amount ofdifference in the govern ments of the two countries, The Americans are more liberal, and possess greater freedom than we | do, but there, as elsewhere, .tbe common people, however well informed, may easily be betrayed into arage for war by false agen al But in the present care, unhappily, the exciting and offensive representation need not he false, because Lord Derby and bis colleagues have been careful to furnish the Americans with real grounds of eomplaint. Still, no true friend of the republic will seek to seize on the pretext just offered for engaging the two eoun- tries in hostilities, and, therefore, we strongly con- demn the tone adopted by many members of the Senate and the Congress, at Washington, during the late debate on Mr. Mason’s motion. The majority judicious, though their intemperance hi bly ii may pen ba accounted fer by the position in w the; ey, he themselves on the eve of e * y somn lection. the press of coun r a better example, and, instead of inflaming rid No friend | of industry, no honest man, no Christian ean ever | desire to involve Great Britain in war with the kin- | ver; on romething like a rupture with the United Bites tho very prosess of conceding the point of Pet peices of lionsti ted by the e only aul oi ion sugges y bs wish ‘bas hitherto regulated our proceedings ‘was supplied, as the reader knows, by the variety of interpretation given to the word “bay.” The Americans never asserted that ee possessed or were entitled to possess the right of fishing within three miles of our shores. They stipulated only for tho liberty of entering such ‘bays as contained fishing ds more than three miles distant from any point of the coast: and, if this liberty had been formally, as it was practically admitted, there would bave been no dispute whatever respecting the convention of 1818. We did not say the British government was otherwise than justified in its interpretation of the article in question; on the contrary, we have shown sufficient reason for main- taining such to be theonly true and liberal con- struption of the agreement. There existed, how- ever, many gbvious motives for relaxing in favor of the American remonstrants aright which was some- what iavidiously derived, and which was produc- tive of more risk than advantage; but, when it had been once dicided to muke this concession, it does appesr remarkably strange that measures should have been so arranged as to bring at least tho opin- jon of ube two States into temporary collision The Americans, it seems, are to be indulged in their own interpretation of the word hay; that is to say the only point in dispute is to be given entirely in their fuvor, and yet we know that observations of tho wost unfriendly character have been made in Con- gress, and ships of war despatched to a certain rendezvous, with general misgivings of a pozsiblo ropture On «np impartial review of these proceedings, though we sre disposed to suspect Mr. Webstor of contiderable insincerity, we cannot acquit her Ma- jesty’s government of very false stutesmanship. The decizion whichis now announced must either have been originally contemplated, or Induced by cireumetances transpirin g in the course of the trans- action. The formor supposition would be the moro ebaritable of the two, bus we find it hard to be re- conciled either with the presumptive policy of the administration or with the tenor of documentary evidence. It certainly could never have bven ex- ected that a government committed to at east the theory of colonial protection should promptly concede to a foreign State, against the notorious demand of our colonies, a point which even free trade administrations had never definitely surrendered. Still leas could it be conceived, when Sir Jobn Pakington announced his intention of ro- moving all ground of colonial complaint, that his views included the abandonment of. the privilege for the maintenance of which the colonists had suc- Ais petitioned Lord Stanley seven short years ago. That euch abandonment, broadly speaking, might be a judicious stroke of polisy we do not deny, but, considering what were the known dosires of our North American fellow- subjects, and what the professed disposition of Lord Derby’s govern- mept towards them, we do not see how a movement declared to be made in their interests could ever have been expected to result in the surrender of the very point which they were eager to defend. The colonists had always éntreated that the fishermen of the States might not only be kept at a distance from their shores, but excluded from their bays. A new Colonial Secretary advertises his intention of at length removing all their grounds of complaint, de- spatehes a naval force for this purpose, iucenses the peop of the Union, and then brings the question to What is called # simple, equitable, and satisfac- tory termination, by agreeing that the Americans shall be at liberty to enter tho said bays, according to their claim. If this is statesmanship there aro evidently some faculties of administration ranking a aoe deal bigher. if at the date of Sir John Pakington’s first des- patch it had been determined that the question of the bay fishing should be resolved in fuvor of the Americans, it was scarcely competent to the govern- ment to take such credit with the colonies for its protective dispisition, and surely not a little injudi- cious to employ such expressions as p*rmitted the Americans to assume and improve the very conclu- sion which it had heen resolved to forego. “Our pre- tensions to on exclusive property in the colonial boys, however justified by letter or tra: in, Were £0 obnoxions in character, and so indefinite in prac- tice, that an intimation of enforcing them was liable to be very invidiovsly represented in the States of the Union. Use and sufference had creatod, if not legal rights, at least such considerable interests that the facts could not be overlooked, and though we were not perhaps called upon to tender a gratuitous oe Peart of our claims, we might at least have so ordered matters that the American government should have had no opportunity of charging us with intentions which wo never envertained, he tran- saction, however, was so conducted that for come weeks together it was the universal impression in America that Great Britain contemplated the enforce- ment of the treaty of 1518 in respect to the fishing grounds of the bays. The misconception was clearly not confined to Mr. Webster, nor to those whom he addreseed. It prevailed in every State, in Con- gress, and even in the Cabinet of Washington; for, although President Fillmore may not have parti- cipated in the whole policy of his Secretary of State, itis plain, from the despatch of vessels to the fish- ing grounds, and from the activity of the dock- yards, that the supreme government of the Union foresees the possibility of difficulties from this strangely managed concession. Surely, if the Ame- ricans were to bo indulged in the oaly point they could dispute, the favor might have been so bestowed as to improve, rather than to disturb our relations, and enable us, without trouble, to place in some- what better security jek which had never been contested, though sometimes infringed The original error resided in the complexion given to the despatches by which the intentions of govern- ment were conveyed to thore concerned. The colo- nists were addressed as if active measures were at length to be adopted for the preservation of their rivileges, and the American government received information of the facts in a note which gave not the slightest intimation that our interference would be limited to those points only which were not, and never bad been disputed. A demonstratien was maNeAP favor of protection, and credit was taken w © colonists for such unwonted attention to their interests; but the consequence was that we have been exposed to serious misrepresentations, though all the while the propositions imputed to us were never entertained. The Americans bave re- ceived all that they asked, without acquiring any sense of obligation, and the colonists will be dis appointed of support which they had been induced to anticipate. As to the “reciprocity,” it exists merely in name. The British waters are of vast yalue to the Americans, but the American waters are ofno use tothe British The rea! fishing grounds as all parties well know, are those off our own coasts. this very circumstance: puld have disposed us to Mace) may be true enough, but it is uneatisfactory to reflect that, in making jerous terms with a friendly State at some sacrilice to our- selves, we have not only gained no favor, but have incurred ‘o of actual hostility. [From the London Meresntile Gazettte, Aug. 14] Althéugh it is our decided opinion thet the pre- sent unfortunate dispute between this country and the United States of America, regarding the con- strnction to be put upon the fishery convention en- tered into between the two countries in 1818, will be amicably settled, yet the very circumstance of the dispute haying arisen makey it a most appro- priate time to direct public attention to the exces- sive folly which this country has been committing, for several years past, in regard to the extensive emigration which hax been going on from its shores. We aseume two positions, which, we suppose, no one will attempt todeny. The one is, that all our colonies, without a single exception, stand in need of additional labor forthe full developement of thir resources, end to Ye their prosperity; the other is, that the labor population of these islands has long tinee become redundant. We in common Wo should be rorry to vay that the of America may be rogerded as a hostile nation ta Eugland, but we way tafely ulirm that it iso rival nation ; and that it marine that species of ri- valry which, from time to tia, theroatens hostili- ties. We think it must be known, also, that the at mass of the peoplo of the United States ara imbued with raneorous feelings againt Lagland. We have no doubt that such feeling is thoughclessly entertained; but, as republivans, they conta itu moral, or, at least a political duty to hold a degrea of animosity to’ a monarchiecal government, and all who admit its sway, Another end a more serious consideration is, that the Americans, in- cluding many of their most eminent statesmen, hava long thought that the British provinces should be annexed to the United States, aud form part of the federal Union of the country. Tho last civik war in Canada forcibly evinced such an impression 5 convinced that it is one which will never ht of until it is accomplished, e drawn a true picture of the precise re< lations which subsist between England and tho United States—not between the two governments, but between the two peoples as rival states, and, indeed, we should = the part of one of then— } it may be seen how incumbent it has boon, on tha part of this country, setting economic co! ns out of the question, at almost any cost, to hava. directed, or at leastto have guided, the extensiva emigration which has been going onto our ow colonies, and to have prevented it swelling tha power and resources of-a rival nation. In our petige @ verysmall anpual sum would havo effected ‘is; a very trifling assistance, which might have ‘been managed in various ways, afforded to the un- fortunate frish peasantry who were flying front famine and disease, would bava led them to British America instead of the United States. The latter was pecans partly because emyloyment wag more immediately to be provured there, and partly because land was more exsity to bo obtained. It is, we think, unnecessary to point out how the Trish immigrants migbt, iamediately on their land- ing, have been setto work in any of our Norte American provinces, both with advantage to the colonies and tothe mothor couatry; for it is a welk known fact that their pros; y has been much re= tarded through the want of ‘ui¢rnal communication, nd, moro especiatly, ot of commanication between the different .

[t is at a time like this, when the re.atioas between the two countries are disturbed, which shows the uso Americans are prepared to make, and which there can be no doubt they will one day make, of those auxiliaries, which Great Britain has so inconsider- ately supplied them with. An inflammatory paper, the New York Heap, thus foreshadows what might ocenr, in the event of a war between Ecgland and America:— “ The British ration. it enys. with £22,000 600 ster- lng, gold and silver. in the vaults of the Bank of Eng- land. and inflated with the recent gold discoveries and produets of gold in Australia, equipped with the most powerful steam navy im the world and with but little employment for her army, except a war of territorial spoliation in India, and ® similar war in South Africa, may even be disposed to puvh this fishery quarrel to au open rupture with the United States Letitcome.

The editor speaks of arrayit 100,000 fighting Irishmen in the ranks of the United States: this may be received as a just rebuke to the policy of England, which bas supplied them with such a force. If these 100 000 men had been located on the British instead of the American side of the St. Lawrence—as they might and ought to have been—the writer in the New York Hagaup would not have been so cvutident in- his expec- tations of conquering the Lvitish provinces, aa one of the first resulis of the war. It is fortunate that there are cooler heads in the United States than this writer—men who take a juster es- timate of the relative strength uf the two countries. A-war between England aud Aweriva would un- doubtedly be # great calumity for both countries—a calamity every right-miuded person, no matter on which side of the Auantie he might be, would have gecasion to deplore. Such # war would seriously injure the trade of Evgland; it would annibilate the trade of the Usived States. The American highway for her commerce is on the ocean; but the steam navy of England would sweep the seas of every Americen vessel in less than six months, while one-half the towns along her cout and up her riv- ers would be laid in ashgs. Such are the frightful scenes which American citizens should contemplate as the result of a war, avd not the jubilee of con- ect and victory se inconsiderately anticipated by the writer in the New York Hrrabp. Lest the Americans should be building too much on the naval occurrences during the war between the two countries which broke out in 1814, it may be as well to apprise them of the material difference between that period and the present. In 1814 the British fleets were scattered all over the world, and from the number of ships then in commiesion—moat of them of @ very large class— our frigatee and small- er vessels were very insufficiently manned. But ina single- handed ccntest between England and Ameri- ca, the most sanguine citizen in the United States— even the writer in the New York Heraxp, in his saner moments—must sce tke total incapacity of” that country to contend with England peer oe With reference to this part of the subject, it may be well to show the relative forces of the two coun- tries which are actually, or may in two or three weeks be, aseembled at what some probably think may become the scene of future hostilities. The whole of the Americun force when docked, re- paired, and fitted out—will araount to five steamers, five sloops of war, and two brigs; in all 12 vessels, mounting 161 guns: while the british force already in thoee seas consists of the Cumberland, 70 guns, and 600 mon; Alarm, 26, with 230 men; Calypso, 20, 195 men; Sappho, 12, 125 men; Persian, * 125 men; Bermuda, 3, 44 men; Netley, tender, 2, 25 men; and the steam sloops and tenders— Buzzard, 8, 1€0 men, 400 horse power; Basilisk, 8, 160 men, 400 horse power; Devastation, 6, 160 men, 400 horse power; Rosamond, 6, 160 men, 875 horse power; Alban, 2, 32 men, 200 horse power; and Kite, tender, 2, 25 men, 170 horse power; in all 13 yeesels, mounting 177 guns; of this number five are powerful steamers. Besides the force already in the American waters, the Vestal, 26 gum frigate, has probably sailed from Spithead, by this time, for the same destination. We learn further, from the Morning Chronicle, that it is con- jectured that the screw squadron now on its way to Spithead—the Arrogant, 46; Dauntiess, 33; Highflyer, 21; and Encounter, 14—alll fully manned ond heavily arnmed—wili be despatched to Sir Y George Seymour’s assistance; that Rear Admiral Corry’s Channel Sqvasron of two deckers and frigates is also at sea, and ready for any emi ‘This latter,” says our contemporary, owerful force, though small in numerical amount, tw ips of ninety-two guns each, and two y gun frigates This day her Majesty’s w paddle frigave Tiger, sixteen guns, has received ailing orders at Spithead, and to complete with \rovision® and sea stores for gix months’ service, from which it isaugured she too has the route for Halifax, and will bear despatches to Sir George Seymour.” We also learn, from the Morning Hirald, that a committee of naval and shipwright officers have been constituted, und are ordered to assemble at Somerset House for the purpose of arranging and deciding upon ihe armaments which the various classes of the mercantile steamships are able to carry. We make these observations without the slightest angry fceling ; we should be the first to deprecate a war between the two countries, which we firmly believe will be averted; but we think it right to show to those Americans who may wish to promote with others of the public press, have repeatedly shown how easily these two difficulties might be made to regulate cach other; and we, in particular, have frequently gone into details on the euhject to show that the construction of railroads, and other- wise opening up the country through our North American provinces would have amply repaid any experse that might have been incurred in directing such a disaster, that should it occur, although England would undeubtedly suffer by it, their own country would suffer ten times more.
