Important Court Marttal. The court murtial on Captain McLane assembled, as per adjournment, at the Quartermaster’s office, yester- day morning, at 11 o'clock. ‘The Juvce Avvocate went through the usual formality of calling over the roll of members, and reading the min- tates of the previous day’s proceedings. On coming to ‘that portion of the minutes relative to the admittance of the extract from the Baliimore Pats iot, as evidence, Major ‘Morris made an objection as he considered that the court hhad decided that {he extract should only be put on the re- cord, This construction of the decision of the eourt wes @onewrred in by the other mombegs, and accordingly the alteration was made, Capt McLawz, on being called on for his defence, beg- ged the indulgenee of the court to be allowed to reserve his defence till to- at 12 o’clock, as circumstances Ris, defence Muh meccéoitated him to’clalin that Indul- The Junce Apvocate remarked that he intended to esl] more witnesses in case it should be necessary to y to certain new issues which the accused might 1g forward, and furthermcre to show that the letter of Golonel Roberts was in no way libelious. Mr Baanorr, on behalf of Captain McLane, objected to the calling of witnesses. He wrote out. and then read tothe | eourt, the reasons why the extra witnesses should not be allowed to be called. He stated that he had understood ‘that the Judge Advocate had clcsed his onse for the prose- ution, and if he were allowed to reopen his csse, and call witmesces to prove that the letters of Col.

They both left ‘Whampoa on tho 9th of July, thus making the passage fm 106 and 110 days, Both ehips kept company until the first of September, having never lost sight of each other fer fifty-four days. ‘The Chrysolite brought the fitet cargo of the new crop of black teas, part of which | ‘was retailed at Liverpool the same eveuing. Their two American competitors—the Racchorse and 3urprise—had mot srrived at the time of the sailing of the Humboldt. The former left Whampoa on the 15th, and the latter on the 19th. New Sreamsutr Uncur Sam,—This vessel, built by ‘Mesers. Perine, Patterson & Stack, at Williamsburg, for the Chagres trade, made a trial trip yesterday down th® bay. The engine, which was built by T.

Lines, Commander, arrived here yesterday morning, having been detained one day beyond her appointed time at Havre, owing toa heavy storm on the I'rench coast. She left Havre at 10 4.M., on the 28th ult., touched off Cowes for the British mails, and left Southampton, at 9 A. M., on Friday, the 29th ult., and has made the run from the Needles to this port in fourteen days. Bhe brings a fair eomplement of passengers, and a large and valuable cargo of continental merohan- dise. By the Humboldt wo recoive European intelli- gence of fully three days later date than brought by the Glasgow. Our files of London journals are to the 29th ult., inclusive. From Paris our dates are to the 27th. Tho United States mail steamer Hermann touched off Cowes on her way to Bremon, just before mid- night of the 22d ult. The British North American mail [steamer Cana- da reached the Mersey at 10.30 A. M. on the 24th ult., from Boston and Halifax. The Atlantic arrived out at S A. M. of the 27th ult. The City of Glasgow, screw steamer, left Liver pool on the 27th ult., for Philadelphia.

It is understood that President Roberts, of Libe- ria, has satisfactorily completed all the negotiations with the British government which constituted the object of his visit to that country. The subjects of complaint with regard to the conduct of certain traders on the coast have been adjusted, as well as the extent of the territorial jurisdiction of the re- public. President Roberts would sail on Saturday, the 30th ult., for Liberia, in Hor Majesty’s steamer Dee. The Royal Albert ship of the line, building at Bheerness, is to be longthened thirty-five feot, and | fitted with screw machinery of 1,000 horse power. The Royal Albert will be upwards of 4,000 tons | burden when lengthened, and, therefore, consider- ably larger than the Duke of Wellington, of 3,700 tons and 140 guns, recently sent off the stocks. It was generally understood to be the intention of the Lords of the Admiralty to devote inoreased atten- tion to screw ehips of the line, and to this end there is no doubt that many of the existing three deckers in the British navy will be fitted with screw | propellers, azd that all future vessels of this olass | Will have steam machinery attached te them. A great sensation was created on the London stock exchange, and amongst the monetary circles | and stock jobbers, by the receipt of a telegraphis | despatch, dated Constantinople, Oct. 14, announc- ing that the Sultan had finally decided to repudiate the loan for two millions sterling, negotiated in Paris and London for the Bank of Constantinople. 5 ‘This programme cannot fail to draw a large assemblage of the patrons ef this popular establishment. | Broavway Tueatre.—Miss Julia Dean takes her be- nefit this evening.

The evasion of this loan, which was contracted specially under the anthorization of | Prince Callimachi, the Turkish ambassador in Paris, (who, in fact, signed all the bonds,) is character- ized by the London Times as one of the most lamentable cases of public dishonor that could be | | witnessed in any country. The sorip of the loan at one time rose.to eleven per cent premium, and im- menge losses in the way of premiums will be mado by parties who had purchased it for invertmont. The influence of Russia is said to have caused the repu- diation of the loan, and several Greek and Armo- nian merchants in Constantinople had placed In tho English mining districts the colliers are | £1,500,000 at the Sultan’s disporal, in order | to enable him to de without the money. The ambassador at Paris was to be recalled for having exceeded his instructions’ both in regard to the amount of the Franoo-Anglo loan, and the terms upon which it was raised. Strong diplomatic remonstrances were to be addressed by the British and French governments to the Ottoman English | Porte, in reference to this flagrant breach of faith. | The latest accounts mention that an insurrection had broken ont et Constantinople, and that tho Trench ambaeesador had notified that if withinseven days the refusal of the loan wea not recalled, he should demand bis passports. There is again great speculative excitement in the Liverpool cotton market, and prices were daily ad- vancing, with large sales Nearly 20,000 bales were sold on the 26th ultimo—one-half of which | wore on speculation. The sales on the 27th amouut- ed from 30,000 to 35,000 bales—-one-half being on , speculation. Prices were from one eighth to one- fourth of a peuny dearer.

That most current at the prerent moment is, that | Lord Malmsbury will be succeeded in the Foreign | office by Palmerston, and that Mr. Gladstone con- sents to join the ministry, provided convocation is restored. Gladstone, as you are aware, is avery high churchman. I mentioned in @ reeent lotter, that the governor-generalehip of India had been offered to another Peelite, the Duke of Newcastle. I cannot vouch forthe correctness of these rumors, but so much is evident, that the present ministry will endeavor to retain office by strengthening their party. Tho Times having announced in a first leading article, that convocation had been decided upon, the Morning Herald,the semi-official organ of the prosent government, denied it in precise terms. Notwith- standing this denial, I believe that the idea was on- tertained, and is not even yet totally relinquished by Lord Derby. The restoration of all the powers of convocation would be tantamount to restoring the clergy to aghare in the government of the country beyond that which they possess already, which many hold to be far too much. The measure is very unpopular among the low church party and liberals, and if realized would lead to violent scenes. The continued presence of Bulwor at Rome has alarmed the Protestant League. Their chair- man has written to Lord Derby, to ascertain whether it was true that England had accredited an envoy to the Pope, and to know what had really passed between Bulwer and Cardinal Antonelli. Lord- Derby replied, that England had not accredited an ambaseador to the Court of Rome, but that he did not think it necessary to reply to any private indi~ vidual respecting any conversation that might have taken place at Rome or elsewhere. I am informed from tho best informed sources, that tho Eoglish government still hopes to come to terms. Bulwer’s miesion, it is true, was a failure. He has, however, procured the pardon of Murray. Bulwer purposes taking a house at the Eternal eity, so that he can an excuse for being there whenever he likes. Derby has, moreover, a secret agent at work Bulwer’s mission to Rome be brought early before Parliament. ‘ihe persecution of the Madiai, at Florence, has been warmly taken up by the Protestant King of Prussia, who has sent a special envoy to tho Grand Duke on the subject. The funeral of the Duke of Wellington has been fixed for the 18th of November. The windows along the line of procession are letting at from £5 to £10 each. The houses near St. Paul’s have been let at enormous prices. I hear that Dakin’s largo tea warehouse has been let for £1,500! It com- mands a view of the grand entrance to St. Paul’s.

On Friday night a grand representation took place, by Imperial command, at the theatre Fran- gais. The play was Corneille’s ‘Cinna, or La Clé- mence d’Auguste”” This play is full of po.ttioal | imperial aliusions, and all the hits were loudly ap- | plauded. The interior of the theatre was ornamen’ ed with eagles, &o.

M. Peron—Dear Sir—In conformity to the sug- gestions made to you, prior to your departure from Paris, on the subject of transporting the entire es- tablishment of the Hippodrome to America— both materiel and personelle—I have now to inform you that I have adopted the necessary plans, and commenced active arrangements for carrying them into effect, as soon asI shall be advised by you of their practicability. The greatest point for your consideration will be to find a suitable locality for the building. The ground must be at least four hundred feet in length, by two hundred and over in width, with clovations surrounding the interior, for the accommodation of twenty or twenty-five thou- sand people. In New York city, I apprehend you will find it exceedingly difficult to obtain an eligible and oon- venient sito for a building of such colossal dimen- sions. Nevertheless it must be obtained, even if you have to resort to the suburbs. It would bo highly desirable that a location for the Hippodrome should be selected upon one of the great thorough- fares leading to tho intended Crystal Palace. Not doubting, from the tenor of your communica- tion of the 20th ult, that a proper place may be ob- tained, and that everything can be accomplished ia order to carry out my arrangements, I have already sent the cars and chariots to Havre for shipment.

Your’s &e , Hesnri Franconi. The French Republic. The accounts from France are, as may be expec’: ed, chiefly filled with speculations in reference to the approaching proclamation of the empire. The Senatus Conmsultum was much speculated upon in political circles. It appeared certain that some members of the Senate desired that. in order to avoid all discussion one sole article, to the following effect should be submitted to the peopl The French Empire shall be heredit Kine, in the famtly of Louis Napoleon. in the direct n the event of Louis Napoleon having no male issue, he shall have the | right toname bis succesror.

Whether this semblance of a difference of opinion ov so important @ point be the real cause or not, or whether it be for the pur- pose of introducing what is termed the administra- tive element into a body where it does not exist to avy extent, the fact is that several now names will be shortly added to the Patres Conscripti. A numbers of Senators have already arrived in he 4th will not last more than eignt days the documents relative to the coronution of kings, and of the Emperor Napoleon in particular, are | being collected in the national and othor pablis librories by the employés of the Ministry of une la- terior. The difficulties regarding the guscession had not yetbeen got over. The enemies of the family of Je- rome Bonaparte are 80 numerous that it was doubt- ful if that hody would consent to nominate any member of it as next heir to the saccession. A rumor had been current at the Bonrse, that another plot against the life of Louis Napoleon had been discovered at Fontainebleau. The conspi- ratora, it was said, had constructed an infernal ma- chine, which was to be placed in a part of the forest whero Louis Napoleon was sure to pass the first time he went outto hunt. It was added, the machino had been seized and a great many persons arrested. It was semi-officially announced to be the inten- tion of the President, after the deliberation of the | Benate on the Empire, to make a touria the north- ern departments, and visit Ameins, Arras, Douai, Lille, Valenciennes, Cambray, and St. Quentin. Louis Napoleon attended a grand represent: at the Theatre I'rancais, on the night of the le The whole of hia staff and military household ac- companied him, and the theatre was packed ith his adherents. The interior was magnificently devo- rated for the occasion. After the tragedy was per- formed, the curtain drow oP. and Mdlle. Rachel, clad in white and encircled with laurel, to represent the muse of history, recited ® poem, composed for the occasion, entitled “L’ Emre C'est (a Paix,” | which was 9 mere metrical version of the Bordeaux epecch. The cheering, notwithstanding the presence is Imperial Highness, was very feeble. Nothing had yet transpired relative to the reductions in the army. Louis Napoleon, it is ssid, is desirous of setting himeelf up as an army reformer, and his plan was believed to be to reduce the number of troops of the Jine, and to increase the number of municipal guards and corps d’élite. The idea, there- fore, is to send home a portion of the troops of the line, (a8 ordinary infantry can be got together at any time when wanted,) but to keep the cavalry, | artillery, and chasseurs on their present footing, | and to add largely to the force of municipel guards, | which are composed of picked men, and which, ox- cepting the Chasseurs de Vincennes, are the most eflicient troops in the service. The reduction of the army is, therefore, practically, a humbag Specimens of copper coinage had beon struck at the mint, bearing an effigy of the President, sur- rounded with the inscription, Napoleon Empereur; on the reverse is the imperial cagle and tho words Empire Francais. It ig still affirmed that the Count de Chambord will issue a manifesto to the French nation upon the proclamation of the empire. The document is said to be already prepared, and mention will be mado in it of national liberties crushed, and a pro- test made in the name of public opinion of France Forty new members are to be added to the Senate, and the new Emperor, it is said, will create a new nobility, adding twenty-five dukes to the present list, and distributing titles, such as counts, barons, | &e , a6 plentifully as blackberrios.

Paris correspondent bers are summoned to i for the eooond HAY Rs the 26th, and as tbat day appronc! that country and of European Rese watch the pro- grees of ovents with deep anxiety. Inood hardly tell you that the prolonged ministe; ial crisis, which has for the last three months existed in Belgium, is caused more by its external relations than by apy difficult which ita internal administration could give rise to. The ae of the French government are so evident, aud the difficulties to which they give rise so great, that it is almost impossible for the King of the Belgians to form a cabinet with avy prospect of permanency. For » long time past there has been @ regular French party got up in Belgium, and supported with French money. Generals in the Belgian sor- vice could be named who are known to be the agents of France, and who are intriguing to get up @ part; in tho Belgian army. At the pressnt moment I"renc! agents are to be found in every part of Belgium, but more especially in the Hainault, who openly preach to the people the advantages which they would derivo from the annexation to France. The great- est alarm is felt among the Belgians themselves, who fully expect a French invasion. Here in France the impression is universal, that the day is not far distant when an attempt will be mado on that CURIE. notwithstanding the peace promises of Louis Napoleon. Indeed, it isthe general belief that if any disturbances should break out, (and with the means employed, nothing is more likely,) Louis Napoleon will attempt to occupy Belgium with French troops, om the pretext that he is forced te do so in the interest of social order in Europe. In allusion to this subject I may as well mention an anecdote for which I vouch. A friend of mine happened two days ago to moot a perso- nage who, | being @ representative of stron, republican principles, has recently been transforme into a Bonspartiat prefect, with a comfortable salary of 36,000 franca per annum. After a short conver- sation on the ordinary topics of the day, and espoci- ly upon Belgium, the prefect made the tollowing nificant remark:—‘‘Oh, as regards the question war, Ireal’y hope there will be nono; bat one ing certain is, that the President cannot leave o thi Leopold on the throne of Belgium These Orleans ” people must all be got rid o} If such are the sentiments propagated by the Elysée, and the pre- fect in question is an habitué of that favored resi- den: ask what confidence is to be placed in tho preservation of peace?

To assume the title of Napoleon the Third would bo, in the eyes of the Austrian eeraeepenty to set openly at defiance the treaties of Vienna, The discussion of the commercial union question is again to be transferred to Vienna, and a troaty of trade between Austria and the Southern States will be the main object aimed at. The journey of the Emperor to Croatia is repre- sented to have been less satisfuctory than his tour through Hungary. The people are miserably poor, and an eye witness rolates that they were intent only on getting their petitions presented to the Emperor. @he French at Tunis. We read in the Ahkbar:—Two ships, détachod from our Mediterranean fleet, have been sent to ro- inforce the Tunis station. This moasure is owing, it is said, tothe uncortain state of the Bey’s health, nd to the apprehension of complications which ight arise should his illness terminate fatally. It is certain that, in this latter hypothesis, the Otto- man Porte would not fail to repeat ono of those de- monstrations which sucoeeded at Tripoli, but which we have hitherto known how to neutralise at Tunis. It is, besides, asserted that the family of the Boy is far from sharing his ideas of progress, his taste for European institutions, so that change in the person of the rovereign would lead to a radical change of system. It is known that an almost analogous dan- ger exists in Morocco, and that the Emperor Abd- er Rahman, who, however, seems to us little enough progressive, has for presumptive heirs fanatics who propore to withdraw the few concessions which that sovereign has been able to make to times and cir- cumstances. These are two contingencies which must not be lost sight of, for they may arise at a most unexpected moment.

[from the London Tints, Oct. 28.) | _ It has been obvious, since the discomfiture of the the people of the United Srates were only waiting | for an opportunity to gratify the doublo passion of acquisivveness and revenge, and that tho vory first opportunity would be eagerly seized to implicate, if possible, the American goverament in those culpable designs. Upon the retura of tho Amer- icon prisoners, who had received a free pardon, which they had not deserved, from the clemency of the sovereign whote dominions they had wantonly thusiasm in the cities of the South, as martyrs for the cause of Cuban independence, and their pres- ence and harangues served to stimulate the pas- sions in which their lawless enterprise had origin- ated. A secret socioty was formed, under the | title of the ‘ Lone Star,” which was the ensign | of Lopez, and this association is reported to have | its ramifications in all parts of tho Union. Wo | can scarcely credit the statements which have been | tramsmitted to us of the power and extent of this | combination ; but it is extremely disoreditable to the American people that such a body should have been formed at all for the deliberate purpose of plundering » foreign Stave; and there is no act of aggression which such an example would not justity. Under these circumstences, it was certain | that @ repetition of the attempt on Cuba would | be made, and in the meantime all means were employed to sow disaffection in the island, and to engage the United States, as a nation, ia the undertaking. In fact, = conspiracy to Bae | oat these objects has recently beon discovered at | Havana. | The Spanish government hae, of course, been roused by this pslpable danger to prepare, a3 beat it can, for the defence of its possessions; and the | present Governor of Cuba has thought proper to re- sort to the strongest repressive means which could be employed. Numerous arrests have taken place, the connexions and relatives of Lopez and his gang bave been closely watched, and the external eom- munications of the island with foreign ports have been more than once closed by the polics and mili- | tary authorities of Spain. In the discharge of this duty, as the Governor of Cuba no doubt conceived it te bo, it is asserted by the American agitators that even the fleg ef the United States has not been respected. A scarch was made on board the Corno- lia, an American merchant vessel, which led to the | seizure of some correspondence implicating persons of rank in the island; and, soon afterwards, tho | gether, and not allowed to land either goods or pas- | sengers, because she had on board as purser a Mr. Smith, who had taken some part in these treason- able echemes. This occurrence has kindled afresh | the madness of the American people, or, rathor, it has been !aid hold of by the unscrupulous conspira- tors who had already staked their lives on this en- terprise, and the consequence is an amount of ox- citement which may drive the prosent govornment into hostile measures, or will at any rate concur | with tho Presidential election to pledge the new ad- ministration to further acta of violence. At such & moment especially, a candidate professing mode- ration on this eubject will have listle chance of ob- taining tho suffrages of the American people The Governor of Caba may have acted with vio- | lenco, and it is indisereet on his part to ran the risk | of converting this affair into a national quarrel; but, as far as we are acquainted with the parcicu- . there is nothing in the principle on which he whieh can be attacked on legal grounds.

We find nothing in the exi trea ties between Spain and the United States to limit this right. By the 7th article of the treaty of 1796 it was stipulated that ‘ the subjects and vessels of the two Btates should be subject to no embargo oF detention on the purt of each other, either for an; military See or any other private or pul motive ;” but this clause does not extend to a refu- sal of access to a suspected vessel. In the case of the Cornelia jt seems that the ship was boarded by the Cuban authorities in their own waters, just ter she had weighed anchor for New York. Two persons were taken out of her, the one a Creole, named Guzman, who was conveying letters from the island to New York. The other a runaway engineer. These persons wore detained, and the yesiel proceeded on her voyage. This step may have been harsh and imprudent, but it eannot be termed an illegal outrage A foreign merchant flag does not shelter a vesacl from search for sons suspected of a violation of the laws, as as sho is in the waters of another country. The versel is subject to all the regulations of police so Jong as she remains there, Suppose, for instance, & runaway slave were to take refuge on boarda British ship in the port of New Orleans, it would be no outrage to the British flag if the American aatho- tities searched the ship and detained the fugitive. This question, however, will not be disposedof by tho rules of international Jaw. The passions of the people and the political intorests of the two States are touched ; ana even these incidents may bee on a collision, which the present temper of the United States will not auffor to be permanently averted. Powerful he American people unquestionably are in the dofence of all that belongs to themselves, | no ion has in these daysthe strength or the means to run riot in the world, and gratify its own lusts and caprices at the expense of others. This rash and dangerous course will, if adopted, bring them into collision with other States besides Spain, and they would enter in‘o such a contest degraded in the eyes of the world by the popular viol a injustice which bave dictated these 4 The conquest of Cubs will not easily be by a mere band of freebooters, if indee Lopez expedition were ulloved to quit the shorer of the United States But we fear that thi American government will be gradually lod | e to do, as it did in tho case of Texas, every man of honesty condemns.

Escopt Cuba and Porte Rico, she has now ro western coiouies, ap‘ no important trade for America to assail Moreover, upon aq of this mognitude and importance to all the meri. time States, Spain does not stand alone. We do not pretend to be acquainted with the views of our own government upon this subject, though it is evident that the acquisition of the Havana by the maval power of the United States would bo a change which no British Minister could viow with indifference. But the course which France mey pursue is still more obvious. Louis Napoleon has every indueoment to defend the interests of Spain, and to strengthen the relations between his own govornment and that of Madrid. Nothing would better suit him than an opportunity of displaying and augmenting tho naval power of France, by espousing the cause of 8 against such an antagonist; for such an ex} ion would flatter the country, and ocoupy the publie mind, with no serious risk to any French interest. However this may be, the firm and collective reso- lution of the maritume powers of Europe to opvose theaggressive policy of the United States, whan it extends even beyomd the North American continent to Cuba and to the Sandwich Islands, is the safeguard of peace, which might otherwise be sacrificed to the | outcry of am “indignation meeting ;”” the rash- ness of the American democracy could hardly com: | mit a greater act of folly than to provoke sucht | contest, without being assured of the countenand or even of the neutrality, of any of the powers.
