From the scarcity of political news, the utmost difficulty that I can furnieh you with any informatior ~Touis Napoleon is sick, not dangerously, vat sufficiently so oblige him to » _ wi rooms. It appears that he tooka bad cold, ‘wile shooting, on the first, and his physicians have erdered repose. The Moniteur has published a eemmunication, in which it is said that the Presi- @ent, in order to remain a day in tho city of Bour- ges, had decided to start on the 14th inet., instead of the 15th, as it was understood. Nevertheless, ‘Where are rumors afloat by which I am induced te believe that very likely the journey of Louis Ne- oleon to the Southern departments of France could be postponed to a better ovcasion, or to more pro- pitious times. It appears (and | have it from good aathority) that the enthusiasm which was expooted fom the people of the departments, will not be equal te that which was experienced at Strasbourg, and it Je possible that in many places the Prinee President, ‘will receive insults of a very aggravating character. Jam told, also, by a person who is aw courant o What takes place in the secret police, that severa awrests have taken place at Marseilles, Montpellicr and Bordeaux, and that those who have been thrown into jail were engeged in a conspiracy to assacsinate the President in one of the citics through which he would pass. No one can tell what wil) take place in futuro time, but I am quite eure that if this government is changed, it will only be a violent overturn of affairs which will be se- ly felt throughout Karope, Notwithets ali iheee conjectures, if Louis N postpone bis journey, he will only be a few of his mivieters; and even those who el Jow him will soon return hero in ordor to give a ehance to their cotemporaries to have, each at their tom, a moment of satisfaction, pleasure, and glory. with the chief of the State. General de Arno is the only one who will not be allowed to quit, ene moment, the Prince President. M. Fould, the Minirter of State, and M. de Maupas, the Minister of Police, will not be permitted to leave the eity of Paris, where their presonoo is required i ’ amy disturbance should take plece d absenee of Louis N poleag, N eon to assume tho ‘m{*%al will do #0 or not is ex’r ‘The result of the votes exy four Cepartmente is as follow have demanded that the power db for life in the hands of Louis Napoteon, thie number only nine have ox see the re-establishment of here eighteen wish the present governm and powerful; five have shown, in their y watisfaction they had for the acts of the gover ment, without demanding to have this form ef power changed; and but twenty-one gene al councils have sworn that they would be faithful to the President. As it may be seen by these figures, there are only, among the eighty- four fel a nine whichare in favor of the em- pire.

M. de Kittilef, plenipotentiary minister of Russia, “in special mission to Paris,” has just left his em- bassy, and takena congé. It has been remarked that very likely he will be absent from Erance at the epoch of the empire; and it is believed that this absence is caused by the wishes of the Emperor Nicholas, who will not be in favor of the empire. AH this is mere rumor. As for the marriage of Louis Napoleon, the pub- Kio, the press, and the diplomats, have all abandon- ed their gossip about it. @hbis does not mean that the projects of marriage are abandoned, bat that the utmost secrecy is kept on the subject. ‘It will be remembered that, during the events of December last, the President sent to M the chief of the Bank of France, to obt. rot willingly, the sum of 50,000,000 of francs, which were necessary to “grease” the wheels of ernment. At this éyeque this loan was denied; itnow what can be said, in presence of the Moni feur, Which contains a communiqué, by which it is paid that during the Jast month of July, the half of the fifty millions were reimbursed to the bank by ‘the treasury, andthai the other half, borrowed in December last, was sent back on the 4th instant. ‘Baus the government and the Bank ef France are “aquare.”” So much the better. rumor is now spread about Paris, that the in- tention of the government is to take possession of wll the theatres of that city, and to have them Ynanaged by men who would be entirely under the wentzrol of the Minister of the Interior. Asa mat- ter of courte, this new way of management has | created a deal of sensation among those who are now the ‘‘ stockholders,”’ and they ure most anxious to know what will be decided on the subject. Much credit is at by the newspapers of the ent, to the Minister of Police and Louis Na- eon, for the operations which they intend carry- t; out for the purpose of freeing the island of Co from the bandits which have so loug infested it. task, no doubt, will be a difficult one ; but if ‘the aim is reached, it will be a grand affair. We have now in Paris a great number of Pied- wenteee diplomatists, and among them I will name M. Cavour, formerly Minister of Finance, M. Matayz, Speaker of the House of Turin, M. Sclopis, a Senator, and M. De Salmon, a Deputy. It is said that there gentlemen have come here to form a ‘ition to the “* too much conservative” of D’Aviglio.

Vienna Correspondence. Vienna, August 27, 1852. Hungarian Refugees’ Opinion of America, and Kossuth’s Hope of Success—His Popularity in Austria Declining—The Emperor’s Visit to Huw gary—Chance of Pardon for the Inswrgews. The controversy between the United States and Great Britain, on sccount of the fisheries, seems to | have taken a peacefal turn; and it iz to be hoped that ere this reaches you the whole affair will have been finally settled on mutnal good terms. But for this unforeseen ineident, I long since would have written you again. Some weeks ago, letters from Mungarian refugees, Tesiding for the present in the United States, have arrived in Hungary, couched in the most envourag- ing terms. The writers tell their friends snd rela- tions that though they feel very happy in their pre- sent condition, they ardontly Jong for their native country, but do not intend to return empty-handed, or without bringing liberty to their countrymon— tbat the Americans, sympathising with them io every respect, are about to nseist thom in thir task both with armed force and sey ‘ions of dol- lere—thot Kowuth has already received a great part of s money, and ta along with him on his —and fing lly, thas all that has been the newspapers about him and his total fail- ure in the United States ig » malicions invention It is easy ‘0 comprebend the delight with which there pleasant and qnite unexpected’ tidings have beer received by the good people the letters were addressed to, However, to tell the truth, they don't muct for Mr. Koesuth or tho liberty he int them; whereas, indeod they would be pertienlorly glad to got possession of the pro- mised ensh, of the American gold and silver coin. Moreoyer, it would be higbly gratifying for their curiosity to see the g0-much-talked-of Amorivans faee to face, though the conceptions of them: in Hungary ere somewhat strange and confused. You see how the Hungarian refugees still iadulge themeelves in idle hopes and self delasion. Their longing for their native country is not to be won- dered at; but as long as they persist in this nonsensi- cal manner of proceeding—as long as they are fos~ tering the plan of a new reyolutioa—they will never feoit again. In this case they find the doors closely and permanently shut to them; and it might rather be possi for Mr. Kossuth to overturn fhe United States than to kindle the fire of revolution in Han- gary agam. With tie exception of some few incor- rigible, turbulent fellows, the Hungarian people are, at present, decidedly woary of any revolution, and their ion, especially against Kossuth, has attained such a degree, that if he should be foolish enough to re-appear among them, they would seiza him without ceremony mal deliver him into the hand of justice. That some yearsago he su to bring about and keep up for a while a revolu was only owing to an accidental coincidence ot va- rious circumstances, and to tho fact that his total inaptitnde was not yet notorious then. But now the Hungarians know him thoroughly—they hate and despise him. He is well aware of thia; and being ashamed of himself, he has thought it best to live in retirement and obsourity since his departure froin America. Since the complete success of the Emperor's visit to Hungury, and the enthusiastic reception he bas found there among all classes of the people, a grent many of the Hungarian refugees have become aensi- ble of the folly of their acts, and being at the sane time heartily tired of their exile, they begin to act ali on foot to procure pardon and get the permission to return home. It is very probable that they will accomplish their object, (of course, with the excgp- tion of Kossuth aud other inveterate enemies of put- Ke order,) for the Emperor has receutly pardou: mony insurgents who were imprisoned in Hangar and seems, in the main, inclined to clem a forgiyences.

You must own that this number of executions is rather a small | one for a period of forty-four years, and an average population of thirty millions. Let us now see how many executions took place in England during a similar long period—in England, that has always boasted of her humanity, and her tender regard for the life and freedom of man—in England, that has heaped numberless invectives upon Austria, and charged her with barbarity and bloodthirstiness. England and Wales had, in 1801, little more than 9,000,000, and in 1340 about 15,500,000 inhabitants ; | thus, in the period from 1801 to 1840 the average population was about 12,000,000. Now the number of sentences of death which were actually executed, | in less than forty years, amounted to 2,635, and among them nineteen for high treason! Well, on which side then, I ask, was barbarity and blood- thirstiness, on the side of England or of Austria ? | Under the sway of an aristoeratic constitution, | fram@i in the middle ages, six hundred and thirty ore ago, and of a selfish body of magnates and her nobles, the ¢ r its tribuis sylvania, has t public roads, most parts of the I to the pre ont day a by Bosi this there were many oih nd open to bribery; Was an entire > for somotimes r @ poisoner, y then five years s culpable e had partion of robbers nded a nobleman d the country in almost nany of the murdered likowieo. and 0 C obvious that paid to defici » subordinate character. nistration of justice having ganized and rogulated, and pub- lie order and security completely rostored by the energetic measures of the Austrian government, the latter has ordered the construction of both railroads | and canals in the level part of the country, and of common &nd public roads in the more mountainous districts of Upper Hungary and Transylvania.

Our Nicaragua Correspondence, Granada, August 4, 1852. The Last Treaty between England and the United States—The Inter-Oceanic Commumication, §c.

But how have the company re- turned the favors conferred on them? By violating many of the articles of their contract. They have forfeited all claim to the protection and asaistance of the people of Nicaragua. I cannot anderstand from what source the United States derives her au- thority to settle the boundaries of Nicwragna and Costa Rica, or why Nicaragua sbould be called on to acknowledge, by treaty, the right of the Mosqui- to Incinus te sovereignty. Such an attempt on tbe part of the United States bas operated iojuriously to the mterests of American citizens hore, for the people of Nicaragua fear that there will be no end to their encroachments; and this supposition appears to be reasonable. From tho acts ot Mr. Kerr, our representative, it appears that he isin the interest of the Atlantic aud Pacific Ship Onual Vor instance, the American steamer C jen Was embargoed fora debt, and j dered in tho ease by the legally eoustituwed courts; bat she was released by the activity of Mr. Kerr, American Charge d’Ailaires, who threatened that unless this veesel was surrendered she would bo taken by force. Bo, if the company feel disposed, they can evade their creditors. The British Consul, in presenting the treaty I have referred to, did so iw a most geotiomanly manner; but very difforent was the conduct of Mr. Walsh, who imporatively de- manded that the treaty should be carried into effect. The government, as you probably know, has refused to accede to its provisions. It is, therefore, evident, that although much has been done to keep dowa British in! erests, yet the overbearing conduct of our own people will tend to raise them again. An attempt is being made in Mmgland to raise mouey for the canal; but, if we are correctly advised here, it will be unsuecessful. ZL. Our Mazatlan Correspondence. Mazatnan, July 4, 1852. Robbery of American Citizens by the Custom House Officers at Mazatlan, Mexico. T arrived bere on the 25th June, with a party of our citizens from Texas, for California, who, before leaving, clected me captain of the company, which consisted of twenty-one men, and ten women and children. We came by the route of Nagle Pasa and Durango; and after suffering toils and hardships in- nuwerable during this long journey, which only those who have experienced the same could readily realize, we arrived, with thankful hoarts, at Mazatlan, pleasing ourselves, as we approach. ed our journey’s end, with the hepe of find- ing a vessel there to carry us to California. Our principal subject of anxiety was the dread that ou” small stock of money might be found insufficient to pay our expenses and passage money to San Hran- cizco, from the unexpectedly high prices we had to pay for everything on the road; but every one cheerfully put up with the cheapest fare duriog our long travel, to economize our fu ds as much es possible; and before we arrived at Mazatlan we found tbat we bad between us $1,286, or nearly $40 each. On entering that city, our money was seized by the tom house officers, as we had brought no pass With it; and although we represented to Mr. 0, the Collector, that it was a united purso, g to the wholo company, we were compelled eto give up the half of it, under the threat arif we mde any r e they would confi+ cate the whole; and on | lowed to retain the other halt, we were tol: scousider it an espe- sial mark of favor. At ame time, singular to say, they admitted th ch had had his money about him, they d not have taken so small a sum. I am sorry to say, this arrangement was made without the knowledge of our Consul here, Mr. R. R Gatton, who has done everything in his pense to induce the Collector to give up the money, but unsuccessfully; and I enclose you a copy of his letter to the District Judge, in which our case is clearly stated. ond redress demanded, but which has met with equally little attention. You may fancy, Mr. Editor, the condition of bit- ter distress to whi weure reduced through this heartlessand infamous robbery, under the pretence that we were smuggling silver into Mazatlan, and the privations and sufterings we shall have to -n- dure in undertaking a distant yoyage, without the means of purchasing the requisite necessaries. _ However, my object in writing you these few lines is not so much to excite your sympathy for us, (who trust, with kind aid, to struggle through our present difficulties,) as your indignation at the treatment we have met with from officials, and which our fellow citizens almost invariably receive from the Western Mexican officiala—who pillage them without mercy, on the most frivolous pretences ~-and to warn apy of our countrymen who may take the Mazatlan route to California, to carry cach his separate puree, Which will be no great hardship if it may be as slenderly provided as ours were. Had we done s0, we should have been in better spirits to have enjcyed this anniversary of our glorious Fourth. Yours, G. F. PuL@nam.

Laat evening a very important discussion teok pace in the House of Assembly, in relation to the altered policy which the Canadian government in- tends to pursue with referenée to its commercial in- tereourse with the United States. Boon after the House met, Mr. Young rose, and after stating the reasons that induced him to accept the office of Commissioner of Public Works, said a dif- ference of opinion had taken place between his col- loagues and himeelf, with reference to the commer- eial policy of the country, which had been deiined in a memorandum submitted by the Inspector Gen- eral, that had met with the approval of the Gover- nor-General on Saturday Jest, and which had i duced him to tender his resignation ; it being the tention of the government to demand higher tolls from American vessels passing through the Wellaad Canal than on British, and to impose higher duties on certain articles when imported from the United States, than when introduced by the route of the St. Lawrence, the effect of which would be to divert the trade from Ogdensburg and Oswego, and the rail- roads in that direction. This, he said, was a retal- iatory policy which ne was not prepared to adopt. and which he considered would be injurious to the best interests of tho province, without producing the ¢flect that was intended, It was proposed to partue this course, owing to the action of the Ameri- ¢an Congress as respects reciprocity, the advantage of which to the province, he was satisiied, had been overrated, where great misapprehonsion exists on the snbject—the price of American flour and wheat being the seus in the United States as Ca- nadian, wiih the exception of the daty and one or twocents for storage, which the Americaus muss poy when these arti ve sold for home eoasamp- tion or manufacture; ox od from a New York paperw prove the correctness of his preposi- Hien us to prices Jio then adverted to the amount of exports to the United Stotes during the year ending on the first of January, 1852, which was $4,071,564, one halt whioh so of wheat and flour, while the val- ue of imporis, du ibe same period, for thas country, W 8. 4 Ho thought the prefera- blo course would be vo give up reciprocity alvogeth er, as @ great mistake hod been made during the lat four years in endeavoring to obiain it. He ex- preesed hims ui favor of wholishing the duties on agricultural produce altogether, throwing open the St. Lawrence to American vessols, and establishing reciprocity with the British West India aus. Ho would aleo remove the duties on all articles used in manulaclures. By opening the St. Lawrence in the manner proposed, he contended, an impulse would be given to trade which would not be real- ized until that meagure was effected. The public works he estimated to havo cost the province $18,000,000—the interest paid on whish 16 $1,020,000, while the rece'pts do not exeved $260,000; and, instead of yielding a large return, tho people are taxed to meot the deficiency. Were a eanal opened from the St. Lawrence to Lake Cham- plain, the means, he said, would be afforded of sup- plying the New England States and New York to fo er advantage than was possible through the | Hrie Canal, and which the government should take measures to effect. He was followed by Mr. Hincks, the Inspeotor- General, who said he did not rise to make any ob- jection tothe statement that had been made, but to explain the policy of the government. He dif- tered from his honorable friend, as to reciprociry with the United States having been overrated, which he considered as being of the utmost importance to the province, paiticularly to Upper Canada. It had been stated that the price of Amorican and Cana- dian flour and wheat was the same; but he held in his hand a paper which quoted foreign wheat as selling at Builalo for seventy-seven cents, while American wheat was vinety-one at the same time. But wheat and flour, he said, are not the ouly arti- cles that are exported to the United States, which offer the best market for a great quantity of farming produce and live stock; and the lumber exported last year, which the Americans must have, amount- ed to $800,000—the duty on which, he contended, extraordinary as it may appear, came out of the pockets of the Canadian agriculturists; and he went on to state, that were the duty withdrawn to-mor- row it would not effect the price. Last year, he stated, this province paid $300,000 in duties on ex- ports, which was exacted on the frontier, exclusive of wheat and flour, the duty on which was not ex- acted wheu these articies were to be exported from he United States. The question to be considered was, would the course it was intended to pursue obtain reciprocity? He perfectly agreed with his honorable friend upon the subject ef free trade; but he considered it an «tror to make concessions before reciprocity was ob uined; and he believed that if before the eorn laws were repealed in England, Sir Robert Peel had pro- pen that reciprocity should be extended by the Jnited States to Canada, it would have been con- ceded; or, bad the same proposal been made by this province, previous to repealing the differential du- duties, that reciprocity might then have been ob- tained Had the government, ho said, come down with a simple proposition to reduce the daties, not one word would have been said against it; but the ob- jection is because it is proposed to give an advan- tage in favor of the route by the St. Lawrence. Now, the principal articles which it is epee to divert in that direction are sugar and molasses; and he contended that these can be introduced as cheaply by that route as by any other. It was the intention of the government, he said, to reduce the duty on sugar from nine to seven shilings per cwt., and to impoee a duty of twelve and a half per cent when imported via the United States, and five per cent when brought in by the St. Lawrence; to fix it on tea at one penny per pound, and on salt and molasses at twelve and a half per cent. in the one ease, and five in the other; and he thought the course the ens was about to pursue was the true Canadidh policy. He entirely dissented from the opinion that the course proposed is hostile to the opening of the St. Lawrence to American vessels, or the constructing of a canal between that river and Lake Champlain; andhe wished tke policy of the government to be perfectly understood. At present the Americans pay toll only on one canal, while the Canadians pay ontwo. What is proposed is, to make American vessels poy a toll onthe Welland Canal, which would intlude that on the St. Lawrence canals, also, and which would be about tenpence farthing upon each barrel of flour; and he did not believe the trade would be stopped by go trifling an advance, which must be met by a reduction of freights, which at | present vary from threepence and fourpence to ten- ence. 3 He attributed the failure to obtain reciprocity with © sive ange. She allows the Americans to use her , but they will not permit a Canadian vessel to pase theirs. He was prepared, he said, to he ustering, a3 was the case wit ¢ to tho fishery question; but tac Amer 1d do nothing by way of retaliation; they could canals, for it was as much as they | those they had begun; and what- ¥ in the first instance, the in- | he wanted an statesmen always could do to ever they m Jed policy will i! pied that the people of Upper Canatawould | they are at p Mereantile houses that are in the habit of p York might be compel they wovid get West In two-thirds of the suge dn s that by the St. Lawrence route, and ifany mconvenienee is experienced, it should bo submitted to for the purpose of i ject of vital importance to the country.

He concluded by saying that tho othor members of the administration wore ofthe same opinion with himself, who were satisfied that, in adopting the proposed couree, thoy would be able to negotiate with the United States on more favorable ‘me are now imported corae Supreme Court —Circult, gu Dh-fra Smilh vs. Stephon HL, Keeler Serremper 24.—Jra Smith vs. Ste; .

We, the undersi; , eltizens of the United States, residing in the city of Mexico, have seen with much si @ report of a speech, delivered by Robert G. Corwin, Esq , of Ohio, before the Le- banon Seott Club, September the Sth, published in the daily Cincinnati Gazette, Septe: 15, 1652, in which is aan that “Dr. eee A. oe was delegated, by a meeting 0! the Uni- ted States, in the ciiyot Mexico, to General Waddy Thompson, on his arrival there, on behalf of the ‘Acmarioan Fesidenta,” and that “his (Gardiner’s) effort on that occasion was spoken of as moat admi- rable, whether considered as to its 835, or the elegance of its style.” And, also, ihe he (Gardiner) had obtained in Mexico » bigh position, both pro! and foc! 5 We have in substance heard those statemonte made by others, during our visit at Wi ny city; and further, that he (Gardiner) was the committee of American eltizens yy his countrymen in Mexivo to wait upon Thomp- gon, upon the occasion wbove alluded to. We do not know who is the author of these seve. ral statements, but we do know, of our own personal kaortedxe, that they are, one and all, entirely un+ rae. We were residents of Mexico at that time, and during all the time of Dr. Gardiaer's rasidence in, that city, and took part in meetings of our eitizens, and in the other proceedings mentioned, and we declare that Dr Gardinor took, if he was even pre- sent, no part whateyer, in an official way, in them, or any of them. He did not doliver an address. We knew him well, personally; aud deel»re, fire ther, that he was a dentist, of poor means, and with out position above the general elass of travelling dentists, either “professionally or sogially.”” He behaved himself generally in a respectabla way, until we heard that he had, to our aetonisns ment, set upaclaim, as the owner of a valuable silver mine. To our personal knowledge, he lived entirely by his protession as a dentist, and had no other means of support.
