Parlistnent—the new Parliament—met yesterday, as announced, at two o'clock. It was opened by | eommission. There was, consequently, no royal | speech, but & royal message will be read some time next weck. The Commons mustered strongly—of eourse all the new members were present. Shaw Lefebvre has again beenelected Speaker. D'Israeli and Lord John Russell said a few words in comple- | ment to his re-election. No further business was | done. | Pablic curiosity is considerably aroused as to the | tam the coming debates will take. Hitherto Lord | Derby has only been on sufferance; he must nom, show whether he can command a parliamentary ma- | jority. The liberals, and other members of the op- | position, have not amalgamated. There are two or tbree parties without leaders, and two or three Jeaders without parties. Lord Palmerston has had overtures made to him, both by the whigs and the Derbyites. Palmerston consented again to join | ® government ot which Lord John Russell was a memter, provided Lord John was not Pre- | nier. The premiership was thereupon offered | to the Marquis of Lansdowne, who declined it on account of his advanced age and bad health—and then the whole combination fell to picces, by Lord John declaring that he himself must be premier or nothing. Lord Derby on the other | side offered seats in the ministry to Gladstone, Dake | of New Cact'e, and Palmerston. His foreign, home | and eolonial seeretarics are thorns in his side, and he wants to get rid of them decently. ‘The Lincoln Peelites, however, are shy of him. Punch, in its last number, gives a fair state of the negotiation in @equib supposing to be an interview between Dis- raeli and Palmerston. I should not wonder if Pal- mrrs‘on did pot eventually join the Derby ministry, whieb must chuck protection overboard altogether to keep itself afloat. You will find in the papers a remarkable speech | by Thomas Babington Macaulay, the celebrated his- | torian. At the last general election he was wil! out | solicitation of his own, elected member for il .n- | burgh. Since that time be has been ino .y bad | state of health; it was not his wish to resume his gon in Parliament, but to confine himself to his iterary Jabors ; but he could not decline the com- iment paid to him by the capital of Scotland On esday, though still suffering from ill health, he | addressed the electors His speech on this occasion | was remarkably eloquent, and when he paid a tri- bute to the memory of Sir R Peel and the Duke, | admirable. He parsed the events of the lass five as in rapid review, and gave, his reasons why | land was not swept on into the whirlpool of re- volution, two of the most important of which he declared to be the reform bills of 1846 and 1832. Alluding to free-trade he made aslashing onslaught on the duplicity practised by the nominally protec- tionist Derby ministry, and laughed at the idea of a reimporition of a duty on corn. Secretary Walpole bame in for signal chastisement on his militia bill motion. Speaking of the present ministry gene- wally, he said I repeat, if | may judge from the language of ministers, ‘and from this solitary iustance of their legislative skili, L am at a loss what to expect; and what I do expect ts a per- fimacious, vehement, onposition te all sofe and , in some moment of caprice or Sear, that they will fing down upon the table, without @ plan, or in despera’ion, of in levity, eeme measure that is enough to loosen all the bonds of society.

The cause is dif- ferent. The cause is, that in new countries, where there is a boundless extent of fertile land. nothing is easier ‘than for # laboring man to pass from the place where the lebor 4 is overstoeKed te @ piace where it isin de- mand. and so he who moves and he who stays has always eough.

Why are not our laborers equal- ly fortunate? Simply on account of the distaace which separates this country trom the new and wpoccupied territe:ies, and from the expense of traversing thet distance.

It was ® biunder to make Gen.

A new President, elected at the very moment when the passion of conquest and aggrandizement evems to have possersed itself of the nation with increasing violence, wili naturally find it more difficult to con- trol these mischievous and unprincipled tendencies. Among other circumstances that may tend to the ratification of these passions, it secms that tho Navy Department under Mr Fillmore has gradually formed a squadron of unusual strength, now lying ready for use in the harbors of the United States. | The expedition against Japan is still the motive or the pretext for the equipment of this armameat, and | we have no doubt that this squadron does consis: of | aline of-battle ship, three or four steam frigates, | and some sloops of war, equal in their respective kinds to tbe vesdels of any navy in Europe. But, compared to the existing naval forces of some other | countries, uch a squadron is inconsiderable, and we should watch with interest, amounting to wonder, the | | advance of such a force, numbering in all but 219 guns, against the unknown but not inconsiderable | powers of resistance of the empire of Japan. In | the present aspect of affairs with S; however, by no mean | true destination of thig i: | tainly be extraordinary if this important detach- ment of the American navy be sent across the east- | | em Archipelago, and entirely out of reach, at | time when the relations of the United States with | any European power are unsettled or insecure. | in the wars carried on with success by this coun- | try against some of the chief independant States of | Asia, such as the Chinese and Burmese empires, we have had several peculiar advantages. We have in | the arsenals ond armies of India a complete basis of | operations, amply provided with supplies and rein- | forcements, within comparsuively, ensy distance of | the theatre of war. ‘e have explored rivers by means of steamers which took us into the heart of | the enemy's country, and e1 d us, when there, to carry on regular military operations. Without these means of warfare, it would have been difficult, perbaps impossible, to conquer with a handful of | men the zs inertia of an Asiatic monarchy; and | we are by no means sure that the appear- ance of an American squadron off Nan- | gasaki or Jeddo, will produse more decisive effects on the Mikado or the Kubo of Japan than the rsngom of Canton or the capture of Rangoon by our own forces did on the respective courts of | Pekin and Ava It we know anything at all of the character of the Japanese government, the profes- of pacific intentions contained in Mr. Fill- | levter will be read with astonishment and resented as an indignity; and not undeservedly so, for never did an expedition sail with a more down- right intention to take by force what it cannot ob- tain by favor. Itis mainly in this sense and as an exhibition of prowees and maritime daring that the scheme is popular in the United States, for as the | charges brought against the Japanese government | are, to ray the most of them, negative, occasioned mainly by their churlish refusal of intercourse with the rest of the world, it would be hard to say on | | what principle or by what right Commodore Perry is to be gent to instruct the Japanese in civilization | and free trade with 10-inch mortars and one 100- | gun sbip.

Under the despotism to which the journalism of the Continent is at present subjected, we cannot hope for ay free and unbiassed criticism of English politics. The results of independent investigation into our domestic affairs, are now, alas, completely lost to us. When a Veron, or a Granier de Cassag- | nac,ventures to allude to what takes place on this side of the channel, we naturally it the inspiration of the Elysée, and we accordingly distrust the juégments pronoun: upon us. To be thus de- | rived of all pract benefit from the lucubra- ions of our foreign contemporaries is, no doubt, a | | terious loss; for the free treatment of English | questions by continental writers, supplies a most | valuable commentary on our deme! 3 But | notwithstanding the iron authority by which the | Parisian prees is restrained, we are happy to find | that there still remains an organ of opinion in which | foreigners can estimate dispassionately the move- | ments of English ies, and the claims and qaalifi- | cations of our public men. {t has for many been the practice of the Dutch government, at | via, to publieh an annual review of European politics, | for the information of the people of Japan; and when the solitary ship makes its yearly voyage to that remote region, it carries with it twenty thousand | copies of the gazette thus issued under the authority | of the King of the Netherlands.

The Dutch editor of the Japanese Times has received no warning from the Minister of Police, nor is bis paper stopped at the Custom House. The most cautiods and coneervative of empires permits a free and open discussion of ques- tions which are never treated with impunity on the continent of Europe. As regards the progress of civilization in Japan, the journalistic efforts of the Dutch government deserve the highest praise. It is a great thing to have tanght a barbarous, people to study political disquisttion and foreign intelligence. We envy the Dutch their success in propagandiem. In’ this | country, which is professedly civilized, there is the | greatest difficulty in drawing the attention of cer- tain classes to those rr be questions of social economy which are daily discussed in the metro- litan press; but the squires of Japin appear to @ an enlightened and knowledge loving race Whilst, however, we cordially congratulate Dutch uropean journalism philanthropy on the happy results of its efforts to educate and improve the Japanese Jandownert, we * are more immediately concerned with this very pe- culiar description of journalism, as affording an 1m- partial expression of opinion on the public events of Europe. It is of some importance to us to as- certain the light in which unbiassed foreigners regard our affairs. We are naturally anxious to exumine the criticisms pronouneed upon us by writers who are clearly uniofluenced by personal predilections, and unfettered by party ties. An opportunity has been recently afforded us of examining the journals thus printed and circulated by the Dutch government for the information of the inhabitants of Japav. There are many things in these singular publications with which we might We cannot recognise the be disposed to quarrel. cleims of the great nation of Hollanders to rank as the leading European L Saher doctrine which the zealous Dutch employés have from time immemorial impressed upon the Japanese public. Nor are wo by any means eatisfied with the insignificance which the Dutch official journalists impute to England and | the United States. With some oe, of plausi- | bility, it is stated that Great Britain is an island | enyeloped in perpetual fogs, incessantly vexed with | political disputes, and inhabited by a raeo whose soundness of intellect is worse than questionable. The United States do vot fare much better, for they are said to consist of communities of very garrulous men, perfectly destitute of all regard for tho rights | of Property. But it certainly is by no means a logi- | eal inference, that the natives of the countries thus | | discourteously characterized are necessarily without | power or influence to extend their dominion in the | ast. Still, mere generalities are never offensive. | it is impossible to feel Hage ge with the literary Dutchmen of Batavia for their somewhat sweeping criticisms upon English eharacter. One can easily | pardon such accusations. Yet when it is asserted that this eountry is steadily soing backward, and | has fallen in the estimation of Europe, we are | tempted to examine the allegations made against us, and to analyze the deductions drawn. by our keen: sighted critics. It has recently been announced, for the edification of the Japanese, that the administration of Eng- | land has, by some inscrutable chance, fallen into the | hands of persons utterly unable to conduct it. Ac cording to the Dutch journalist,’a certain nobleman has of late become the head of the English govern mont purely by accident. The reading public of Japan are informed that a Mynheer Derby, a chol- eric and loquacious lord, who was ever hold in the lowest possible estimation, has suddenly become the chief Minister of Queen Victoria, and the diposer blue ribands and official emoluments; and his chief | assistant is described as an obscure adventurer of Eas- tern extraction. Tho Batavian editor, though for the most pert disposed to treat all English affairs with utter contempt, discusses at some length the resent phase of Kinglish politics. Ho conceives Lord | | Derby to be anoblemap of very peculiar abilities, and Mr. Dieraclito be inefired with a remarkable and a eo audacity.

Japanis only enabled to appreciate tho | broader and more vulgar features of English poli- tics.

We only wish that what we.may call the Japanese section of our own countrymen could profit by the political in- struction administered to the squires of the most protectionist of empires, and that, opening their eyes to the flagrant imposture which has beon prac- tised upon them, they would learn to rate at its true value the chivalrous and disinterested patriot- | ism of Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli.

We bave been furnished with the following author tic statement of the arrangement poston 4 into be ey a gusro Poe eaten Thanks Tell bo teen that the difficulty bas been finally satisfac- torily settled, our government having unreservedly acknowledged the severeignty of Pera over those islands, and Peru, in return, stipulating to supply American vessels obertered for guano on terms highly advantageous to their owners and the body of our agriculturists. It will be recollected that Mr. Webster, in bis letter of the 21st of August, which was laid before Congress and has been extensive): blisbed, in- formed the Peruvian Charge ad Aitatres that the United States would still consider the question of the Lobos Islands as an open one, and give full con- sideration to any arguments or facts whieh might be adduced to show the possession and oxeupancy of those islands by Peru; that Mr. Clay, eur Charge at Lima, should be written to for information; and that in the meantime the order of the 5th of June, by which Commodore McOauley was directed to rotect Americen veerels in taking 10 from the bos, ehould be suspended, which was done on the 24th of August Communications were received from Mr Clay in udvance of the despatches sent him for that Purposes and on the arrival of the Peruvian envoy, Mr J. J. de Osma, an able note was addrested by him to Mr. Webster, in support of the claims of bis government. Further communi- cations of the greatest importance have from time to time been received from Mr. Clay, and through him from the Peruvian government at Lima. ‘The subject having been fully reconsidered, and the arguments and facts derived from the sources just mentioned, and from various other quarters, ing been duly weighed, the President eame to the conclusion, which e w in by the cabinet, that it was just and proper to withdraw the objections taken by the late Secretary of State to the rights of Peru, and to acknowledge, unreservedly, her sovereignity over the guano islands on her coast andin her possession. It would have been in the Preeident’s power te stipulate. az the condition of this acknowledgment, that Pere should make liberal provision for the American ves- eels chartered under the order of the 5th of June; but having made up his mind that the title of Peru was clear, and that it had been ha It is but just to Peru to say, that the eomfidence thus De dag in her government has not bean pointe It was already known, from a communi- cation of the Minister of Foreign Affaira to Mr. eru was willing to freight, on her own account, the American vossel# ebartered for guano, and that a notification to this effect, addressed to American vessels in the Pacific, had been published by Mr. Clay.

He has addresseda note | to the Secretary of State, in which he engages that the Peruvian government will, on its ewn account, freight at twenty dollars per ton all the vessels whick left the United States for the Lobos Islands between the 5th of June and the 25th of August; that the Peruvian government will buy at a fair price the implements and utensils carried out by these vessels to be ured in procuring guano; and that vessels in the Pacific, chartered under orders sent before the 25th of August, ard which could not be eounter- manded, shall be included in the arrangement, om condition of reporting to the agents of the Peruvian overnment in the United States before the Ist of lanuary, 1853.

'e received by her @ copy of the Brownsville Flas, of the 30th ult , which containg not a line of news of any kind, From a couple of interesting letters in the Nueces Valley, however, we gather the following facts relative to the present state of affairs in that tection of Mexico :— It spears that Cardenas, a8 soon as he found himself firmly seated in the gubernatorial chair of Tamaulipas, iseued an order establisning companies of gendarmes for what is called the Department of the North of Tamaulipas. The apparent object of this was for the protection of the roads, and the ar- rest and punishment of robbers, &c ; but its realin- tent was to bully, gag, and, if necessary, murder the opponents of Cerdenes. The Ayuntamiento of atamoras had protested against the usurpation of the latter, and on the 6th ult, the notorious Canales, Lieutenant Governor of the State, arrived in that city, and on the 8th presented himself to the Ayuntamiento, which was then in session. Te- presented himself as Commissioner ad hoc, invested with unlimited power, and above all ee: The Ayuntawiento refused to recognise him, howe- ver, alleging that as he was an officer ef the State, he coul4 not also be » Commissioner, according to the constitusion of the State. Cansles wished to remonstrate, but he was hissed and hooted out of the room. We now let the corres; of the Valley speak :— For the moment the deepest excitement prevailed, and a smile of triumph played on the features of all prece: But, sles! their imaginary success was but short li andin lees than baif an hour Canales’s brother chi, Avalos. hed furnisbed him with s hundred soldiers, wit! which he presonted himeelf at the doors of the town hall, and politely informed the unruly members of the Ayun- tamiento that they were all depored and under arrest, to be sent to Victoria for trial, and to amswer the charges that would there be presented against them The - tamiento of last year substituted them, with Maeedenia Capistran at their head. every one being, as you may well Fuppose, {be most willing tool and unscrupulous instra~ ment of both Cardenas and Canales, This was the signal commenced crossing to this different ita. the member of the Legislature for Mata- moros being one of the first who came over. The arrest- ed ex-members of the Ayuntamiento have not as yet been sent on to the seat of goverhment for trial, although (a- nsles. om Monday last, called on Alvales to let him have an escort of two hundred men, for the purpose of sendi the prisoners to Victoria. Avalos answered that he ha but fifty that he could spare, and as yet Canales has not accecpted their eervices. as he imagines that the foree ie too email to guard the five prisoners on the road. The national guard of Matamoros had cros:ed the river to the American ride almost en masse, well armed and equipped, and in constant receipt of ac- cessions of fdtce, money, munitions, &e. Various rumors were afloat as to their intentionspbat no- | thing definite was known when the correspondent of the Neuces valley wrote. We were shown yesterday a letter received by a gentleman in this city from his brother in Mata- moros, written just before the Yacht sailed, which | states that the natioual guard had crossed the Rio Grande a day or two before, about six hundred atrong, and taken the road to Viotoria, it is sup- posed, with the intention of pushing Cardenas from his ururped seat. Generals Avalos and Canales left Matamoros in pursuit with 1,500 men and eight pieces of artillery. The guard, hearing ot their ap- proach, turned and met them. A bloody eonflict | ensued, in which Avalos and Canales were entirely defeated—the national guard remaining masters of the field, artillery, &c. Such is the news detailed to our informant by hie ‘brother. The letter is evidently written in haste, at the last moments, and it is more than probable that many errors have orept into the aceount; but | of the main fact—the defeat of Avalos and Canales by the national guard —the writer speaks with a | degree of certainty that’ hardly admits of mistake. The next arrival, however, will bring us the true state of the affair. Utah. THE MORMONS VS, THE INDIANS.

Here the matter ended, the Governor asking no more juestions, feeling, I presume, fully satisied that nothing favorable to his purpores could be obtained from the In- dians at that time, No treaties, that I am aware of, have ever been entered into by the national ment with any of the tribes embraced within the of Utah for the purchare of their {ands, nor have they ever ceded either to the government or the Mormon authorities an: of thelr right# or claims in the territory; henee very natural dissatisfaction at the it of the whites in their valleys, Unless the | taken im due reason by the government to very dissatirfaction may yet give rise to se troubles in the territory.” If the authorities at Washing- ton intend to recognise and sanction the settlement of the Mormons, to which I think they have already eom- 1 deem it their bounden duty to loo} d take immediate stepe for the re- if disturbancs, by the acquisition of the territory.”’ cay the Indian title Tun Acciwenr at St Joun, N.
