New York, Saturday, December 18, 1852. ‘The News. The Cunard steamer Europa arrived yesterday with three days later news from Europe, and in another part cf our paper we give full details of the Gntelligence. It will be seen that in the British House of Commons, the Chancellor of the Exchequer thas unfolded the budget which has been so long and so anxiously awaited. As might naturally be ex- pected, from the character of the man and the pringi- ples of the party with which he is connected, this bud- get betraye a decided tendency [towards protection for aristocratic interests, under tho specious pretext ef relieving the agricultural portion of the commu- nity. The dishonesty of the whole affair is so pal- pably evident that there is very little likelihood of ‘Sta deceiving the dominant freo trade party, and, therefore, we shall not be surprised if we roceive, per the next steamer, accounts of the total over- @hrow of this Derby-Disraeli ministry. As was generally anticipated, the ceremony of making an Bumperor of Louis Napoleon has been gone through at Paris. From the other portions of Europe the | news is unimportant, but in a commercial sense sat- isfactory, for the markets continued steady. The Africa’s news was not made public until high Change, at 3 P. M_,{too late in the day for its fall effect on the market to be developed. After it was known, sales of four wero make at an advance of 18jc a 25c. Wheat was held at 40. a 5v. per bushel higher. Indian corn closed about the same. Wotton was unchanged by the news, the previous advance being maintained. By the arrival of the steamship Black Warrior, we have been furnished with twelve days later in- telligence from Cuba, full details of which will be feund elsewhere. This news, though not what may be classed as important, is nevertheless very inter- esting, for the reason that it discloses some of the peculiar concatenations of circumstances that must eventually result in the overthrow of the Spanish @pnasty on that island. There are ten days Jater news from Mexico in this meraing’s Henatp. That republic isin a bad way. We exceedingly regret to learn, from one of our special Washington correspondents, that fears are extertained that the Hon W. R. King will never re- eever from his present illness. Indeed, it issaid that his successor as Vice President is already the sudject ef conversation in that city. Let us hope that Mr. K. ‘will fally recover, and be able to perform the dutics ef the office to which he has boen elected by the | people. Within the past two years we have lost so many of our distinguizhed and long-tried public men, that it seems hardly possible we can so soon ‘be called upon to part with another. Speculations as to who will compose the cabinet of General Pierce, are still all the rage in Washing- | ton, as well as elsewhere. One of our telegraphic derpatehes strengthens the belief that the General | will not favor any New Englander with an appoint- | ment, for the reason that he thinks that section | will be well represented in his own person. There is no doubt about that. After a very short tiiting, the House of Represen- | tatives, yesterday, followed the Senate’s example, | emthe day previour, by adjourning over until | Monday. Two weeks of tho short session are al- ready gone, and as yet nothing of any actual im- portance,has been done, with the exception of the passage of theact amending the Appropriation bill | ofthe last session, so as to permit the Mexican bound ary commission to continue the survey of the | rivers Gila and Rio Grande below El Paso. It is | hardly probable that even this measure would have sun through both Houses as soon as it did hadit not been necessary for them to efface a joint and most glaring blunder. In addition to the foregoing, the House yesterday passed the Senate bill authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to grant registers to foreign built vessels that have been wrecked, aad afterwards purchased by Americans, and repaired at an expene equal to three-fourths of their origi- mal cost. Bills wore reported and referred for the support of the Military Academy and the Indian Department. Objection was made to the presenta- ‘tion of the memorial of Mr. Abelard Guthrie, to be admitted to a seat as a delegate from Nebraska territory, so the matter Jios over. No matter, it will not be a great while before the citizens of Min- nesota, New Moxioo, Oregon, Nebraska, Platte, and several other Weatern territories, will be represent- ed as States in both Houses of Congress. Some of them are already knocking at the door of the Union, and must come in. Mr. Stanly yesterday asked, but did not obtain, leave to introduce into the House a bill to pay the fourth and las: instalment of the money due to the sevcral States under the act of 1856—amounting, in all, to $9,367,21498. The eum coming to this State, under this famous surplus fund distribution Measure, amounts to $1,588,173 57. It will be re- mom bered that, during the last sossion, Mr Stanly Proposed that the aggregate amount should be in- vested in five per cent United States stock, the un- divided intorest of which was to be devoted by each Btate to the traneportation to Liberia of the free eelored people within its respective borders. Should any State decline te fulfil the stipulations of the ast, it would receive no interest for its stock, and, under any circumetanoes, the principal was not to be paid. So soon az all free negroes should have boon semoved from « State, the balance of the money due thereto was to be appropriated to internal in- provements within its limits, to the education of the poor, or in any other manner that such State might ‘com proper. This seems to be rather an extensive, but at the same time very feasible plan of promot- fing the cause of colonization. It would doubtless assist many colored people to reach a land where they would be treated as equals by all olasses—but ‘the greet majority of them enjoy too many blessings where they vew are, to fool any desire fur a change FubauAerO principles do Lot appear to moot with | ington. it be dome in a manner that will not compromise | cort Louis Napoleon his crown. our national honor in apy way. That she will be- Jong to the United States, in the course of time, despite the mrchinations of sl! the European Powers combined, no one who takes inte eonsidera- tion the progress of the principles of liberty on this continent, can have any reasonable doubts. The fashionable season at Washington is reported to have been commenced by a brilliant entertain- ment at the house of Sesretary Conrad, on Thurs- day evening. The five o’clock train from Philadelphia, last Thureday, on reaching Beverly, N. J., came in eon- tact with a carriage containing Mr. and Mrs. Da- rell. The former was instantly killed, and the lat- ter was so badly bruised that her life is despaired of. Why will people persist in driving vehicles upon railroad tracks, when they must certainly be aware that they are running the most imminent risk ? The obnoxious order requiring the workmen in the different navy yards to do one hour’s additional labor per day having been rescinded, the men yes- terday resumed work at the Brooklyn yard, and it is probable those in Philadelphia and Charlestown did the same. Another extradition case came before the United States Commirsioner yesterday, being the case of Augustus Barr, who is claimed for trial by Eog- land, under the Ashburton treaty, for having mur- dered a follow Gorman, named Dresmer, on the 30th of November, while on board a British vessel bound to this port. The case was postponed until this morning. The Common Council proceedings last evening, were of rather an interesting character, as will be seen by the official reports elsewhere. Our special reporter has given a graphic sketch of the debate which came off in the Board of Alder- men relative to the laying of a double track for the accommodation of the Sixth and Eighth avenue railroads, up Barclay street. The Board of Assistant Aldermen adopted a report, pre- eented by the Committee of the Law Department, which advised the members not to concur in the prayer of a petition, presented by the ladies of the Home Missionary Society, for permission to occupy the public square opposite the Old Brewery. A ro- port of the same committee concurring to purchase of Murray Hoffman, Esq, the right of his “‘ Prea- tize upon the Powers of the Corporation of the City of New York, and their Rights as Proprietors,” for the sum of $2,000, was adopted by the Board. The Board adjourned to Monday evening. The ladies of the Home Missionary Society held their annual celebration yesterday. A concert was given in the afternoon at Metropolitan Hall, and in the evening s meeting was held, where the address | of the ladies was read. The proceeds of the cele- bration are to be appropriated to the erection of missionary buildings on the site of the Old Brewery. We give a report of the proceedings. The abundance of late news from all quarters, renders it impossible to specially refer to much of the interesting reading given in this day’s issue. For the same reason, we are reluctantly compelled to defer the publication of a large amount of loca The News from Europe—The Fature Poltcy of France The arrival of the Africa has placed us in pos- session of intelligence from Paris to the 3d instant. On the 24, as was generally anticipated, the Empire became au fait accompli, and Louis Napoleon is now Napoleon the Third. The empire, said Louis Napoleon, is perce; and as an earnest of his intentions, he has given ordors for a reduction of thirty thousand men being meade inthe army. Meanwhile, the terror which the no tion ofa French invasion created in Evglend, has not yet subsided. The newspapers call attention to the fact that the usual cadre ofeighty thousand men is to be raised by the conscription of 1853; and tae most anti-warlike members of the House of Com- mons oppose but a faint resistance to the govern- ment proposals to increase the available military and naval ferces. It isthe old story of 1804 and 812. The English have been s0 accustomed to re- gard their neighbors, @’outre marche, as their natural enemies, that they are slow to roalizo the fact of France having apy other foes, and their fears ex- aggerating the dangers to be apprehended from a war waged on their own soil, they are seized with panic when they measure the narrow frith which divides them from Picardy, and conjure up, in their alarm, on awful picture of an army of Frenchmen on tho fertile plains of Kent or Sussex. To our mind, these fears seem groundless. Louis Napoleon, if we mistake him not, has other designs in hand. In his precarious position he cannot afford to undertake a warin which success would be doubtful. world, the French are the least fitted to bear up against misfortune, and the soonest to desert a gov- ernment in adversity. Should war be declared be- tween England and France, the most sanguine | friend to the latter could not But anticipate a fair share of reverses, which, in all probability, would This fact cannot eecape the notice of far less shrewd politicians than the Emperor ofthe French. To all who give it due woight, and understand the French people, a descent on the shores of England must secm a very unpro- fitable event. Glory the French must have, and the cclat of military renown; but defeat they can- net endure. Thoir armies, if thoy are brought into the field, must be pitied against less formidable foos than the men of England; at all hazards, the safety | of the State and the tranquillity of the poople re- quire that they should be successful. Nor do the rocent commercial commotions be- tween France and England militate less strongly against the chances of a ruptare between the two countries. The obvious tendencies of Louis Napo- leon towards free trade with Great Britain are powerful arguments in favor of peace. While he rejects the advice of his protectionist counsellors, and shows every disposition to mect the British overtures in a consiliatory epirit, he is not likely to show more respect for the opinions of that hair- brained clase of demagogues whore ory has ever been: War with perfide Alsion ! But, if a war with Great Britain would be fatal to Louis Napoleon, inertia is not less to be dreaded. A soi faincant he cannot be. France expects some- thing of him; and past experience has proved that he is not the man to disappoint her oxpectations We mistake him widely if his mind is not actively at work devising schemes to strengthen his own popularity, and to s ry the national craving for glory. Whatare there echemes? In the first place, he is steadily aiming at the ex- tension of trade, both domestic and foreign. A very few months will euffice to convince Europe of the sincerity of bis assurance that the Empire was peace; and so soon as thet conviction is settled, con- fidence will revive, and foreign capital will flow ra pidly into France. An immense impetus will be given to her manufacturing industry. Instead of consuming their energies in political strifo, the French will enjoy the only benefit a despotism oan procure—the concentration of their faculties on in- dividual enterprise. British capital, now lying idle in London, or invested at two and three por cent, will be gladly offered to build the railroads, the telegraphs, the steamers, in which France is so lamentably deficient. While the operatives of Paris, Lyons, and Rouen are making the discovery that the Empire means regular work and good wages, and that socialism is tantamount to idicness and beg- gary, the seaport towns will hail with ecstacy a régime which peoples their quays and their docks with clippers and steamers. A now lino of aiggmers from Havre to New York, for instance, (which will cortainly be cstablished,) will do much to compensate the mercantile community for the loss of their politioal rights. Railroads from Cherbourg to Marseiiles, from Oslais to Bay- conve; velegiaph lives between all the Jango | the militpry organiawtions of thy oountry, Of all people in the | their banquets. Louis Napoleon—the pupil of Sir Robert Peel—will guard against the recurrence of such seasons of famine as the Frenoh provinees have occasionally witnessed, bys judicious eommercial policy, and will thus enlist the rural classes on his side. Finally, we hope and trust, that in the grand scheme for raising the condition of the French peo- ple, which Louis Napoleon has undertaken, a sound Christian education will not be forgotten. Buch, we believe, will be the main features of his home policy. His foreign policy—if speculations on its character be correct—will not be less popular, and may, possibly, be equally successful. Putting all notions of an invasion of England out ef the question—regarding Algeria as so definitely an- nexed, that no pretext remains for keeping more | This was the case in numerous instances. And | With Coroner Ives upon the matter. The coro than a mere garrison at Algiers, and remembering the anti-colonial tendency of all French governmenis, the relations between France and the States on her eastern borders naturally attract our attention. No hope is more fondly cherished in a Frenchman’s broast than the restoration of the old boundaries of France under Napoleon. Men are bred in Paris to regard the existing frontier as an encroachment on the natural limits ef France, and view the governments of Belgium, Baden, Bavaria, the Rhenish Provinces, Switzerland, and Piedmont, somewhat in the light of usurpors. If Louis Napo- leon could again carry the tri-color over the Rhine and the Alps, his popularity would not fall short of his uncle’s. There never, perhaps, was a time more propitious than the present for schemes: of aggrandizement of this nature. The kingdom of Sardinia is half re- yolutionized, and totters between an Italian repub- lic, a constitutional monarehy,and an Austrian pro- vince. Belgium is already half French—the Ger- man States are exhausted by ther recent struggles, and, deprived of their former protection, are ready to fall a prey to the first usur- per. Mutual jealousy paralyzes Austria and Prussia. Russia alone, of the continental powors, is formidable; and we have every reason to believe that Louis Napoleon has already secured her sanc- tion, if not her co operation, in his ambitious pro- jects. Witnessing the prodigious expansion of trade, and the prosperity of the. lower classes in France, the Belgians, the Germans, the Swiss, the Piedmontese, are not unlikely, 2 short while henca, to covet @ participation in blossings which their own g(vernments cannot procure them. If, then, as we believe, the Emperor must find tome éafety-valve for the ardour of his people, and Jeavo some substantial trace of his concern for the glory of France, the eastern frontier is the quarter to which, in our opinion, his eye will revert. A European war it wiil be hie policy to avoid. His first aim—commercial prosperity—requires peace with the great powers. His weapons will be diplo- macy and gold. More potent and less perilous than the sword, we shall see these, ere long, working | silently but surely in the palace at Turin and vhe Gilapidated residence of the Princes of the German Bund. To attempt to foreshadow the result—to predict success or failure— would obviously be im- pertinent. Time alone will show whether the energy and rkill which raised the outcast to the throne, will desert the Emperor after his coronation. For our own part, we confess that we expect great | things from the ten or fifteen years reign which scems allotted to Louis Napoleon. Miuirany OnGanizarions OF Men oF Forsian Birra —The anxiety of our foreign population to bear the arms of citizen soldiers, and the facility with which they become excellent troops, is a very singular trait in the character of the great metropo- lis of the United States. Our uniform militia companies, numbering between six and eeven thou- sand men, have been greatly admired by all who visit our city, for their discipline, their military bearing, and the beauty of their uniforms, all pur- chased at their own expense, and sometimes costing #0 much as $100. In these the adopted citizans— particularly the Irish and Germans--make up very largeitems In addition to the uniformed compa- nies attached to regiments, there are also indepen- dent military companies, consisting of cilizens of foreign birth. The following is as accurate a list as we could obtain of the whole of tho rogiments and companics of Europeans among our citizen soldiery:— aie No. Men, Four troeps of caval Long Island Irish Voluntee: Independent companies... Irith Rifle Regiment, (being formed) New York Total PRENCH Garde Lafayette, (Twelfth Regiment) Gemen, DOA... sosvcovsevecse . Here is a total of 4,400, besides several Irish com- pevies in Brooklyn, attached to different regiments, and Irishmen and Germans scattered through most | of the New York regiments. The sixth, for example, largo number of Irishmen. A very large proportion of the standing army aro Irish and Germans. From the first organization of our mili- tia, citizens of foreign birth have been conspicuous | in it; but within the last few years an :extraordi- | nary military furore has sprung up among them, | especially the Irish, whose passion for arms is a remarkable foature of their whole history. It is a gratifying fact, that these citizens do noi yield to the natives im love of the institutions of the country, or roadinoss to defend them with their | lives. In their punctual attendance on parades, their appitude for acquiring the knowledge of a soldier's duties, in their practical military skill, and above all, in their love of firearms, many American officers regard thom as qual to their comrades bera on this coil, while some hold that they evince the | military spirit in # still higher degree. easily accounted for. The native never having beon deprived of his vatural right to carry arms—the right never having been called in question—be looks upon tho posses- sion of @ musket or rifle as an ordinary thing, a it awakens no especial. enthusiasm in big mind. He feels, too, that the nation is now in no davger of invasion, and it is more as a source of amusement and pastime, or from duty, thet military ekill is acquired, than from any strong necessity or any vehement passion. And this is How different with the foreignor! In [relaad, forex- | ample, the possession by @ working man of a fowling piece, gun or pistol, or of any weapon whereby a blow might be given to tyranny at somo opporture moment, is rendered by law a crime that subjosts the unfortunate individual to the severest punish- ment, and tho polico have a right to make domioil jary visita at any time of the day or night, in search of arms. Whon the humblo emigrant ohakes the dust of his native land from his fest, and treads thie glorious eoil, he feels that he is a free man, and his great ambition is to be a citizen soldier, and his musket is his idol. He knows and feols the value of arms from his former deprivation of them, just as ho appreciates our institutions almost in highor degree than natives, who know not what tyranny is by experience. The iron of the chain has entered into his soul, and freedom is doubiy swoot to him who has tasted of the bitter fruits of slavery. Upon arms he looks as the meaus of ac- Bucovmssiamie v0 Ane ms itiw You—As “opinion has very generally prevailed here and elsewhere, that there was no more ungenial soil the unfortunate artist who would set up a studio in this city, would find very scant remuneration or en- couregement from the wealthy people of this metro- polis. If ever there have been grounds for such a complaint, we think they do not at present exist ; and we appeal to the last three deya’ auction sale of the pictures of the Art Union for corroboration of this opinion. We think that a most complete refutation is thereby furnished of all sueh libels on’ the taste and liberality of this community. The competition of bidders at this sale was most ex- traordinary. A painting worth, perhaps, fifty dol- lars, would be started at forty, and finally, by ad- vanoes of five or ten dollars on each bid, would be knocked down at two or three hundred dollars. there was no falling off perceptible in the spirit with which the cale opened ; but the whole paint- ings on the catalogue, numbering about four hun- dred, were sold at prices which must havo aston- ished the artiste themselves, realizing, in the aggre- gate, the eum of thirty-six thousand dollars. But while wo cite this fact as ® refutation of the complaint to which we have alluded, we mast in candor confess that the purchasers of thee paint- ings do not exhibit any very high degree of eulti- vated taste in their valuation of them. We are afraid that morit had but little chance of competing with size. In too many instances the price of the picture might be caloulated by a regular rule-of-three operation, taking as data the length and breadth of the canvass; and in other instances, as in the painting of the Babes in the Wood, which brought three hundred dollars, the prestige or popularity of the subject made up for the meagreness of the de- sign and the deficiencies in execution. But these latter were, it seems, but minor points, and wore most generously overlooked by the purchaser. We think that the proceedings of the last three | days in the gallery‘of the American Art Union, should satisfy the greatest grumbler that there is no occasion for complaining of » want of patronage of the fine arts in this city, and if, hereafter, artists of merit should find their studios deserted, and their paintings remaining unsold, we have dis- covered a certain and unfailing remedy for this state of things. Let them maka a record’of the names of those who have distinguished thomsolves | by purchasing the pictures of the Art Union, and | which they will find in the New York Heraxp of these three days, and let them intimate to those par- sonages that they have pictures for disposal, and have need of their patronage. Or, failing this, lot the artists club together, and get up an auction | 4 la the Art Union, and they will then be very apt | to procure three times as much for their works as they would have had the conscience to domand at private sale. Ifeither of these plans.are pursued, there will be no more occasion to complain of the | neglect of act in this metropolis. Tue Tarirr 1x Conaress.—The recent procesd- ings in the House of Representatives, on the tariff question, very cloarly indicate that protection has | ncthing to expect of Congress this session, and that thcre is no disposition in the House to tinker with | the tariff as it now exists. We may eafoly vonturo to say that the law of 1846 will be permitted to stand intact till Gen. Pierce shall have offisially expressed some opinion on the subject. And why not? Our cotton manufactures are thriving—coal apd iron are going up, and still upward, with tho in- creasing demand all over the world; and where, then, is the necessity or the justice of a bounty for the lords of the cotton mills, the coal mines, or the iron foundries and forges? In fact, the day of invi- dious protectivaduties is past ; and if we mistake not the temper of Congress, we shall have, before the onsuing four years are over, a considerable re- duction of the protective features of the bill of 1816, and a very considerable approximation to the great international ultimatum of free trade. We have no Joskua in these days, to command the sunand moon to stand still. Progress is the spirit of the age. | Protection, tor the sake of protection, is a defunct icea. - Commenctat ConveNTION ar BaLtiMorE —A Western and Southern Trade Convention will be held to day in Baltimore, the object of which will be to harmonize the interosts of the Southern and Weetern States, and to stimulate the commercial progress of those two sections of the Union in their direct intercourse with Europe, and also in regard to their internal trade. Itis stated in a circular, which probably emanated from the Baltimore Board | of Trade, that “the most powerful and distinguish- | ed influences, embracing not only the West, but also the rice, sugar, tobacco, and cotton interests | of tho South,” will be inattendance. At the close | of the convention a banquet will be givon in the hal; of the American Institute.
