The project of erecting A’geria into a vice-royalty is much talked of in Paris, and is one of those upon which tho Prosident is particularly tenacious. Prince Lucien Murat is again spoken of as the future Viceroy.

The remembrance of the coup d’état which took place on the 2d, and the sanguinary scenes of the massacre on the Boulevards, on the 3d and 4th, is still too fresh in the minds of tho inhabitants. What title will the Emperor assume? That of Napoleon ILI. is general!y presumed, so as to main being regarded as Napoleon II. It would be idle to It is rumored that the partizans of the Dake of Bordeaux purpose drawing ap a formal protest againet the empire. The declaration of the em- pire must, at all events, decide one great question —the position of the other continental powers to- wards France. If I am to credit the latest intelli- gence from Vienna, some hesitation exists there as to what ought to be done. The declaration of an hereditary empire is a direct and open violation of the treaties of Vienna. It is true, in his speech at Bordeaux, Louis Napoleon spoke for peace; but he said that ‘*those powers which were anxious to preserve peace ougat not to push subordinate ques. tions too far.” is ig now regarded as a threat. Be this as{t may, all the foreign powers are mak- ing active preparations for the worst, though I think the new Emperor will not attempt a war un- Jess driven into it.

Our sloop is one of the finest men-of war ships floating in these seas The good qualities, in regard to her sailing, are not to be doubted; as well on the wind as right before it, she glides along like the proud swan on the ro- mantic rivers of the South. Her battery, which | consists of twenty guns of a heavy calibre, is kept in excellent order, and ready at any instant to discharge its awful thunder at an unexpected enemy. The cleanness is admirabte. All the foreigners and strangers who visit her in these parts, express the same rentiment, and great credit is therefore due to her officers.

Besides confirming the report ot Nafiz Pacha’s replacement as Minister of Finance, by Mouthan Bey, and that of Izet Pacha, Minister of Commerce, by Kiamil Pacha, they state that six days after- wards, namely,‘on the 4th inst., Ali Pacha, the Grand Vizier, was dismissed, and replaced by Me- hemet Ali, Minister of Marine, and the Sultan’s brother-in-law. Various stories wore circulating in the Turkish capital respecting the ca of Ali Pacha’s dismissal, but none traceable to trust- money source: The new Grand Vizier has con in- cluded these ten years in the various cabinets lod by Reschid Pacha, having been successively Grand aster of the Artillery, Minister of War, and, last- ly, Minister of Marine.

It is only just announced that the President stopped at the Chn- | teau of Amboise to inform Abd-el-Kader in person of his approaching reloage from captivity. An in- cident 80 picturesque as well as so graceful cannot but be regarded with great admiration, even though we wight Le disposed to criticiee the terms in which | the arnouncement was made, or to suspect farther | i If | motives than simple faith and blind generosity. the Arab chief is now to enjoy real liberty—if his future Turkish guardians do not snffer for their formidable ward—-if Algeria continues to enjoy its present qualified tranquillity and no new scheme of ambition is to rive out of this roman: | tic beginning, then the interview of Louis Napoleon with Abdel Kader will furnish the painters with a subject more really interesting than any that covers the vast walls of Versailles. Those vast panoramas of armies routed, camps pillaged, and citics taken by assault, that farnish the Parisians with such appropriate subjects of Sunday contem- in thie simple scene. Simple as it is, however, it is rearcely possible to exhaust its significant na- | ects. Tonis Napoleon, if we can suppose him af- | ected by anything but the result of a cool-blooded | calculation, might well bo moved to this act by the | recollection of the man who died in captivity, aud whose dieasters he ie now on the point to repair; he might well he moved by tho recollection of what he had suffered himecif. As the heir of a captivity as well as of a throne, he might feol even more than was politic for an illoetrious and high-minded prisoner. to this sentiment were added a | natural desire to adorn with such grace as could be found his sesumption of imperial power, and to ayort by a happy omen tho por- tents that darken the path of an usurper, that could still detract little from the dignity o! this Te- markalfe act. By one Englishman, at least, we eribed in the moat glowin: colors. The Marquis of Londonderry, iust rendored happy with the biue riband of the Groat Duke, will find his happiness, if possible, augmented by the thought that he bas contributed to the release of the most illustrious living captive, and that his interfo- reneo with the l’rench President has been responded | to with something more than a civility which lapsed into silence.

THE RELEASE—THE INTERVIEW BETWEEN LOUIS | NAPOLEON AND THE EMIR. {From the Paris Moniteur | _ The tia a maces and of ae fe ke | groat act of justice an jonal generosity—he restored Abd-el-Kader to liberty. This act has long been decided in his mind; ho wished to carry it into effect as soon as circumstances should permit him to follow, without any danger to the country, the scaneetions of his heart. At it, France has too legitimate a confidence in his strength and his rights, not to show horself great towards a vanquished enemy. In returning to Paris, the Prince stopped at'the Chateau d’Amboise, and, having seen Abd-el-Kader, informed him of tho end of his captivity in the following terms:— Abd-el-Kader—1 come to inform you of your libera- psa to be ee in the beg ie tan, as soon as pre} t have been’ made, snd you wil recsive there from the French it an of your former rank. You are aware that for a length of time your captivity had caused me real affliction, for it incessantly reminded me that the government mhich preceded me had net observed the engagements entered into towards an unfortunate enemy ; and nothing in my eyes is more humiliating for the government of a great mation than to misunderstand its force to such # point as to fail in its promise. Generosity is always the best counsellor, and I am convinced that your residenee in Turkey will not prove injurious to the tranquility of our possessions in Africa. Your religion, like ours, enjoins submission to the decrees of Providence, But if France is mistress of Algeria, the reazon is that God willed it to be so, and the French nation will never give up that conquest. You have been the enemy of France, but I am not the less | willing to render justice to your courage, to your charac- ter, and to your resignation in misfortune. That is tho reason why I consider it a point of honor to put an end | to oaptivity, having full confidence in your word. ‘hese noble words deeply moved the ex-Emir. | After having (eens to his highness his respectful | and eternal gratitude, ho swore on the Koran that he would never attempt to disturb our rule in Af- rica, and that he would submit, without any ul- terior design, to the will of France. Abd-el-Kader added that it would be quite to mistake the spirit and tho letter of the law of the Prophet to imagine that it allowed any violation of engagements to- wards Christians; and he pointed out to the Prince a verse in the Koran which formally condemns, without any exception or reservation, whoever vio- | lates sworn faith, even with unbelievers. In tho | opinion of aJl intelligent Arabs, the conquest of Africa is a fait accompli; they see in the constant | superiority of our arms a marked manifestation of the will of God. A loyal and generous policy is the only one that befits a great nation, and France will be thankful to the Prince for having followed it. | Abd-el-Kader will remain at the Chateau d’Am- boise until all the necessary measures have been taken connected with his removal, and his residence at Brouesa. The place assigned for the future residence of Abd-el-Kader is not far from the town where Kos- | suth and some of his companions were sent after | their eecape from Hungary. Broussa, which con- | tains a population of about 50,000 souls, Turks, | Greeks, Jews. and Armenians, was once the capital of the ancient Bithynia. Situate on a fl of | Mount Olympus, it was conquered from the Greok | Ewperors in the beginning of the Ith century, | when the passes of the mountain had already been left unguarded, and the victorious Orchan, son of | Othman, succeeded, by force or by treachery, in ob- taining possession of it. The Naval Force of the United States. [From the London Mercantile Gazette, Oct. 22.) | A great object with the United States sf America, | for a considerable time past—indced, wo ay, oy | the spaependence of the country wes establishod—| been to create a pow- | erful naval force, not, indeed, by building ships of war, to rot in their harbors, and be periodically broken up, but by insuring for the country a numo- rous body of seamen, available at any time for the purposes of war. But even if war were never con- | templated by this extraordinary republic, its geo- | raphical situation would show the people that all | Siete strength and power, all their wealth and pros- | perity, must be sought for through the medium of | the ccean. The whole territory lies along the soa- | coast, open to and inviting the trade of every | nation. Its internal communication is conducted by | hty rivers such as are oniy known in America, by vast Jakes, which, trom their extent, are in The United States are not insular, like Great Britain, but for all the pur- poses of commerce they are quasi insular. Exe | clude them from the sea, and the whole country is paralyzed. Great Dritain, it is said, isa maritime nation through necessity, and the samo observation | | will apply with equal force to the United States of America. It did not require any premeditated plan to make America a naval power. Before the Be lay the ocean, behind them almost impenctra- Je forests; and they naturally launched their barks upon the deep as their only means of intercourse with the rest of the world, the great highway by which ail those operations would have to be carried | on that were to make the country what it has be- | come—a great and powerful nation. Fisheries end maritime commerce are the obvious | means by which the sonmen are trained and pro- | pared for their hazardous pursuit, and the northern ate of the United States, as New England, assachusetts, &e , equally with our North Ameri- can colonies, had embarked extensively in the fish- | ery off their coasts long before the war of tho | American revolution. During the recent dispute on the fishery question, this has been put forward as one of the claims of the United States fishermen. It has been said that they fished in the disputed waters before the Revolution, and that it was an inherent and inalienable right, of which they could not be deprived. !rom launching a fishing-hoat to launching a larger veszel, is only a step in progres- sion, and both British America and the United States have made extraordinary advances in this | way. The merchant tonnage of the latter country in particuler is fast approximating to an equal | amcunt with the British tonnage; and, according to the speculations of the Americans, will soon sur- pass this country—an event which, from present appearance, we think by no moans improbable. But itis not by maritime traffic alone that tho United States are becoming ae naval power. They have sedulously pursued fishing operations, not merely for the comparatively smaller tish taken | on tho coast of America, but they have followed | the great monsters of the deep from sea to sea, | with wonderful perreverance and success. Thero can be no doubt of the profit of the whale fishery to America, as a nation; but itisa great question | whether the coast fishery, which is maintained by a heavy bounty, may not be a national loss. Accords | ing to the principles of political economy that pre- | vail at present in this country, it would be so con- | sidered; but while in England we look only to | immediate consequences, the Americans, probably | with more prudence, look furthor a head to remote | and collateral results. ° The Americans eandidly avow that one of the pur- poses for which they encourage the fishery on their own coasts—or, more properly speaking, on the coust of the British colonies—is to train seamen for the country, That this objoct has succecded, and is succeeding, is but too well known. Tho number | of American ships engaged in the southern whale fishery alono would of thomeelves be nearly sufficiont, | to man any erdinary fleet of ships of war which that country might require to cond to sea. It will be | tnfficient for us in this place to observe, without at- tempting to state why it is so, that while the Ame- rican whalo fishery has been attended with the moat extraordinary success, that of England hag beou gra- dually dwindling away. The northern whale fisa- ery, indeed, is still prosecuted by this conntry, but | the southern fichor, fas been entirely abandoned the Americans, © reasons nesigned for the great~ er anceces of our competitors in this trade—some of | them ficeal, some maritime--are too conflicting, to allow us to enter into them in the ceresin oF | ® newspaper; nor eould we do s0 washout cosetts | into @ bistery of this fishery, and its oaneot Bevery | the (rade in oil for the Ine’ half century.

These people of course think chat a comprotuse 73 1, compromise, aad that if it be once swallowed it will eoon become part of the sysiem. But a compromise, to be really = compromse, should be something the dificulties of which time should not only smocth, but offaco. It should have such » foundation in natare ag soon to become unnoticed, wafelt, and irgotten. That is far from being the case with the Fugitive Slave law; and how any legislators could oxpect it to last long in force, or to reconcile the States ta one anothor, we cannot imegine. It is eal in its very nature te keep the sore oven by # continual succession of legalized outrages. Kvery slave hunted down in a free State, and reclaimed by tho of of this law, revives the agitation; and there will generally be circumstances of aggravation in the capture, such as that the alleged slave has quietly resided for some yeers at the ag of his capture, of that he has his family avout » had flod for the express purpose of enjoying their socloty. Thus ever and anon will be some incident similar t@ thore which overthrew the existing constitutions of Rome, by happening to embody # political grievance in a dramatic and personal form. No law can be considered secure which thus breeds an sae against iteelf, and a compromise which does this cag onl the controversy. Meanw , the duration and the final issue of thé controversy between tho slaveowner and the aboli- tionist, as well as its immediate effects, dey on the style and tactics of the disputants; and they are such as to set conjecture quite at fault a9 to the future: On the one hand, the grotesque and semi- barbarous character of the unfortunate race which forms the subject of the quarrel, imparts a touch of the ludicrous to their juscest claims and thefr sad- dest wrongs; it infects the eloquence and conduct of their advocates, and alicnstes from them that large part of mankind that fears neither bullets nor swords, but quails before a jest. On the other band, a real cause like that of the slaves—a cause founded in nature, in justice, and in religion—a cause embracing more than threo millions of souls— is sure to find sympathy among a people ardent, theoretical, philanthropic, and, above all, trained to independence and agitation as the great tradition of the Union, and the means of every one’s own private advancement. In such a count kindred agitations will flock together for aid, and, with “emancipation” for their common ene the most reasonable complainants will be glad make common cause with the most fanatical and the most rediculous. At present the deeply-injured children of Ham are fighting for li y and politi- cal existence with the wildest fanatics om one side, and “ Women’s Rights women” on the other. Misery making strange bedfellows; jilted maidens, used wives, and every other class of female discon- tent appeal in their extremity to the swarthy Afrl- can slave, and each rejoices to think that it has 0 itaelf, oe a quarrel against the whole race of man. The ambitious and disappointed ladies whose annual convention we de- scribed the other day, for want of other tectors and helpmates, are going hand in hand with the negro, both advancing aclaim to brotherhood which the citizens of the Union seem little di: to ad mit. Whether union in this ease will be force or weakness we can hardly venture to predict, but there certainly is a slight want of logic in the assumption that because magne ought te be free and indopen- dent citizens, therefore women ought also, or vice versa. As to the question whetbor three millions of hu- main beings, in a Christian aud a civilized country, will ulimately be free, we cannot permit o1 selves to doubt that they will; but the count of the ‘* Fugitive Slave Rescue Annivor- sary Meeting” at Syracuse which we recentl quoted from the New York HERALD, «compel us to doubt whether these injured people are hastening their own deliverance. Syracuse must be ahighly favored place to havo, as an every day occurrence, meetings any one of which would con- fer immortality on any English tewn. The assem- bled aboltionists began with all the solemnity due o the “momentous” occasion, when subjects ‘momentous as the claims of God’ were to be reated. From this awful beginning the proceed- ngs passed, with the usual American bathos, brough an introductory oration, selections from he bible, a payer, a poem on “the rescue of.

A Mr. Drayton tes- tified that he had been tn prisons oft, and also long, viz., five years at Washington, ‘‘ at the com- mand of the slave power,” and that “ he had once made so great an agitation in Congress that they had to atjourn for threo days to cool.” Mr. Ray- mond tausted Mr. Webster with the non-fulfil- ment of his prophecies, and added that he was now lying at Marsbficld—‘' a stranded whale,” After a graphic description of the at event commemorated, “ the rescue of sory and suita- ble resolutions, it was time to remind the meeting of its religious character, and Miss Lucy Stone praised the Syracusan women who had ‘‘paid the moder Judas thi ty pieces of silver,’—rather a questionable compliment, considering phe i mas- ters in the transaction alluded to. Frederick Doug- lasa, the great advocato of his race, with that vivid- ness of perception, and that freedom of speech which are among its principal characteristics, saw ‘the record of man’s right to liberty written on God’s heart,” and proclaimed ‘* that it could not be eraged here till it was also crared there.” 80 closed the morning's sitting. ‘Che evening was principaily token up with scriptural allusions and bold expres- sions such as the above, tho climax being that the Fogitive Siave Jaw was “the cup of damnation,” which Mr Garrison declined to drink from the hands of Congress, or for the convenionce of any political party. Miss Lucretia Mott followed with a defenco | of woman’s right to speak here, and with a truly feminine view of the semi passive, semi ative re- stance which she thought allowable to the Fugitive Slave law, she called a former speaker to account ‘for forgetting the non-resistance principle in urg- ing bloody resistance to the recapture of slaves. Sho bad no objection to holding the claimant back, and hurting him a little unintentionally, but would not take Tif ” This, and a collection for the Jerry Reseue Fund, closed the day. What should we think of such 2 meeting in Ex- eter Hall, with an abolitionist baronet in the chair, end a bishop to read prayers? We can only say that they do things differently in America. Por baps on that eoil this may be the best way of ad- vancing interests ‘‘ momentous as the claims of God,” and truths ‘ written on God’s heart.” Per- haps three millions of slaves are to be not only emancipated, but prepared for emancipation, by uch talk and such persons. If it bo so, we can only conclude that the British race, British insti- tutions, and British sentiment, have under; very great change by crossing the Atlantic, and that the slaves are to be brought to an equality with their masters by a procoss which apparently brings the masters down to a level with their slaves. But we connot suppress @ conviccion thas the American abolitionists, whose extravaganoies are hore described, very much underrate sno rest difficulties of tho question. There aro tro to be done—two steps of emancipation ; and fortunately happens tha! the frst etep usally taken docs not help the second, but rather tho contrary. The first stop iv tho abolition of slave the second is the elevotion and eventual aesi tion of the race, It is quite evident, even from that powerful tale of slavery w'tiek ever: body is now rosding on both & ‘Atlantic, that agsicailation proceeds much the slave States than in tho free : by objectionable meane, 1 rice 3 while, in tho triumphs even over * throws color perpevvelly as wo have the opportun taken hy the abohitienia the white man and ihe ec . only renders the guif between thom ey wider.
