If it were so, we might be under greater anxiety for the future. The principal causes peculiar to the present season are toa great extent independent of the crowned rs. The first canse is, that the producers of country, throughout the whole round of trade, are producing things actually wanted at home and abroad. The energies of trade are not always 50 beppily directed; but it does so happen at the pre- season that one and all ure directing their ener- gies precisely in the manner most desirable; and the uence is that very general soanduess of trade which occasions such confidence for the immediate fature. The second cuuse is, that extensive classes , are themselves a applies very greatly through =a combination of fortuitous ei stances which could neither be brought about intentionally, nor v completely « character- ised in a sentonce ; ‘althongh ellentt profit the combination now that it has happened. But there are two classes whose condition is pe arly favorable. One classcon- ‘siete of the 2,000,000 who, within the ast eight years have left our over-charzed labor market, wheré they were struggling with hope overty, and have be: eome, in the West or the Bast, colonists needing our manufactured products, and well able to pay for those products, The second clase consists of our own industrious population at home, whom the ac- tive commerce of the world, the working of free twade, and the improved state of the labor market, have placed in circumstances so much more easy, and so much better fitting for them to consnme a portion of ourown products. These canses of the erity are so substantive and solid in themselves, they are not to be annulled at once by the “bad passions” of belligerents on the Continent of Eu- , OF vs the caprices of crowned powers. They exist; and whi ey exist, there will be the meaus of continuing the prosperity which they occasion. In no case, indeed, would it be within the power e@fany official men resident in London to rezulate either the will of crowned powers, or the passious of angry communities, or even to induce “ other na- tiwns” hastily to adopt our example. Already w« Ihave a sign, in the language of the Co: ticanel: that France, suspecting our free trade « ter Ino- ‘tives, will hesitate some time before she imitates ns thoroughly. Germany has not yet advanced to the tatwhich Mr. Huskieson brought our own Par- ent: and ‘‘other nations” of Europe which might extend their trade with us, suchas Italy or Hungary, are kept in subjection, and are unable to out their own desires. Sir Robert Peel indi- our tree policy when he said that we must not await, although we might invite, the reciprocity of wher countries, but it we must extort imitai by taking the initiative for ourselves. ‘The sequel thas justitied his advice, and there is no doabt that eur government will continue his policy. Luckily for us, our trade depends not upon the notions of individuals, however exalted, but upon ‘the wants of multitudes ; and the multitudes will co om wanting, however the exalted individuals way decree. le pe lies mainly on that portion of cap be made of the globe's surface which is most extensive aud most under the command of maritime powe: sole rival in these natural paths is not onl, ag @ growing amity, but is bound to us by those substan- tial ties of mutual interest which are well understood om both sides. It did not need the speeches of Mr. Ingersoll at Liverpool and at Manchester, valuable y as they are im the present week, to tell us how much England and America are bound Yogether. We say valuable testimony in the pre- went week, because an undue fuss has been made about another eminent American. In his own 4General Case's hearty and somewhat ex- erated #tyle, hix purely American view of foreign jects, and his thorough good feeling, are well » and make bim valued with men who would not receive his impulsive oratory in lien of deliberate judgment. Ourown writers sometimes in- @ulge a Cass-like impetuosity, and do not always handle American affairs with perfect knowledge or giecrimination; and hence, when General Cass re- taliates with his true Yankee blows, his andieuce relish the display of vigor as the spectators of a fight in which their own side gets the better for the moment. But it is 4 men of political experience and coolness, conscious of existing obligations, aud st eer for the future, like Mr. {ngersoll, who can explain to us the true bent of the American mind.

[From the London Times, Jan. 8.) All Englishmen, and Londoners in joular, may draw, we think, a satisfactory kind of moral | from certain remarkable documents which we | published on Wednesday. The United States of America, like 2 more ancient republic, appears to be | bent upon getting the greatest possible amount of information from their ministers in foreign and | the “relations” of these gentlemen may almost. matched with those of the old Venetian ambassadors for characteristic interest and exactness. Not long ago the State Department of the American goyera- nent addressed circelar inquiries to the repreaenta- | tives of the Union in foreign capitals as to the cost of | living at their respective stations. These questions were, of course, framed with a view to the proper regulations of diplomatic expenditure; bat the replies yut on record in the correspondence to which we re- Kr present a comparative survey of, national advan- tages so very inteHigible and amusing, that we think it will consist both-with our own duty and the ' reader’s gratification if we revive the subject for a little further remark. |. It will be readily understood that the position of a foreign minister is peculiarly unfavorable to experi- ments in domestic economy, and it was the effect, per- haps, of these invariable conditions which appears to | have impressed every American Envoy with the not unnatural conviction that his own station must ine- | vitably be the very dearest spot of the habitable globe. | Still, the very universality of this impression enables | Usto deal with it, for, though every toreiga minister may doubtless live at higher charges than any native resident, yet, as the ministers in every capi- tal fare alike in this particular, the general ex- ess of their respective locations may be ascertained aa easily from these returns as from those | of any other class, the only difference being that the seale is somewhat higher throughout. From then, we find Mr. Lawrence that a’ house befitting the position of a American Minister would cost from £700 to £900 a ee and that carriages and horses would require m £225 to £250 more. These are the only items which it was thought necessary to specify in the Rritish return. On turning, however, to Paris, we | observe that Mr. Rives, after enumerating very nearly the same charges in respect to house rent and equip- ages, proceeds immediately to recapitalate certain other items of expenditure almost as serious as the former. Fuel, for a household of half a dozen persons and their servants, averages in Paris from £200 to £300 a year—a fact not perhaps astonishing to those who can recellect what they have paid for a few days firing ata Parisian hotel, but which will promptly suggest the untravelled reader a very suftic explanation of the value of woods and’ forests in France. Be it remembered, too, that the country thus enormonsly texed for one of the chief nece saries of lite is within an hour or two's voyage ¢ another country where the best coals mua less than £1 per ton. Passing from fuel, Mr. Rives next reports the extraordinary price of ealables, and remarks, with the true empbasis of an American, that ham, whieh his country:uen would probably be glad to send into France bd. or 8d. & pound charged in Paris at 1s. 6d. or 28, Fowls, too, at 5 éd. « couple, are very properly recorded for the won: der of posterity, thongh on that point we have not minch to boast of at home, for al! the “poultry mania” to which the coming wi resulted in bri 5a. or 68. a in the country for less than half a crown. dn ‘“com- mon groceries,” indeed, the contrast would have been surprising, but Mr. Rives is co it to allude to this charge upon Freuch residents without entering into pai From V Mr. M’Cur- does not yet “know much person: abou, the From St. Pe- ses incident to his residence.” rts thet the Russion capi- tif ol “is emphatically and in every respect an 4 cial city—artificially built, and artificially sustained. It is dependent fou all ita supplies on distaat regions; the necessaries of life are exhorbitantly high, while the tastes and habits of the place are extrava- gant.” Nevertheless, as Russia niore, St. Petersburgh, notwithsyanding this charac- ter, must be largely in advance of more ancient eapitols. The description given of Madrid ia in the highest degree instructive. “The great distance, writes Mr. Barringer, “of this capital from the coast, the universal want of good internal communication, the barrenness of the imme- diate locality, the peculiar habits of the nation, their ral prejudice against everything foreign, their indifference, and even content, with the stationary condition of thei: intry, have all had a most per- nicious influence.” Water, which is brought to the house-doors on men’s shoulders, is exceedingly ex- pensive; wood, when it can be procured at all, is sold by the pound ; coal, oil, an daily consumption, are first carried over hundreds of | mniles on mules’ backs, and then burdened with crush- ing duties at the very gate of the city whose wants they arrive tosupply. Asan example of the state of things, | Mr. Barringer toentions that one of his carriages,which was brought for £12 from New York to Cadiz,cost £72 in coming from Cudiz to Madrid. It is amusing to observe how closely the metropolis of Turkey cor- responds in these respects with the metropolis of Spain. The same total want of internal communi- cations, the sume uncertainty of supplies, and the sume extravagance of prices are reported from Con- stantinople as were returned from Madrid, and either account wonld nearly serve for a Caster | ve of Burmah or Affvhanistan. Civilized capitals at least this advantage, that their resources are known and anfuiling at a current rate of charge; bot at Madrid, no less than at Constantinople, the | latitudes of which are politically as well as geogra- | phically the same, no sapplies can be reckoned upon with certainty at any price at all. We have not it extiausted the list before us, but we have probably suid enough to make Londoners tolerably content with their lot. To ramble is not culy an Enylisbman’s privilege, but, salong as ob- vious improvements are wilfully neglected, his duty, too, Nevertheless, we may think more comfortably even of our sewers and our water-rates—of our nar- row streets and our national ‘ embellishments,” when we compare our institutions with those of other capitals. Free trade has already accomplished for us what Sir Robert Peel predicted, in making Lon- don the ge est metropolis in Europe. e tastes and habits of fashionable society still impose heavy charges upon such residents’ as foreign minis ters; but even these visiters are exempted from all those domestic and daily taxes which per- versity of ignorance maintain elsewhere. All the necessaries of life are brought to our doors, both trom foreign and Lome markets, at a price really regulated by the expense of production, and in- creased ouly by the very cheapest cost of transport. Bread, meat, butter, poultry, egs, sugar, salt, fuel, and water, are cheaper here than in any other Eu- ropean capital; ond, if the expenses of foreign am- baseadors are not proportionately diminished, that ix because such charges in reality constitute only by small portion of thelr expenditure.

Their martial | chi habite have, indeed, secured to them a sort of inde- pendence, even under the Atectens of the Ot toman empire. As long as the Venitians held the coast of the Adriatic, several free Christian commu- nities, elf-governed and nelf-defended, maintained clore relations of amity with the republic of St. Marks. It was not til! a much later period that the interesting little States of Suli and Parga sank under the barharity of Ati Pasha, of Joannina—a name which will recall to our elder readers the in- terest with which this region was regarded about thirty years ago. The ers which were afterwards to rer and establish the independence of the resent kingdom of Greece, had, in 1815, consigned theee small States to destruction; and, in succeeding to the dominions of Venice, on the Dalmatian coast, Austria forsook the cause of those Christian commu- reap which had been upheld for ages against the rk. Somewhat more to the north, in the recesses ofthe mountains included be: ween the Pashalic of Scutari, the Herzegowine, and the Austrian frontier at the Bocca di Cattaro, there «till remains one of the most independent and the most warlike of these mountain clans. The district of Montenegro (for it ia to that we retey: does not exceed fifty miles in fength by thirty in breadth. Its mountains are darkened with Pine forests. The country is ill adapted for agricul- ural ee wild, and destitute of roads. The inhabitants are armed shepherds, living with their flocks, ready for plunder; delighting in war. They are a pure Slavonian race, retaining their primitive | manners, professing for the most part the faith of the | Greek church, and governed to the present day by | their own patriarchal {nstitutions, The court of Russia | has morethan once testified a strong interest in this | singular people, and hasaddressed friendly communi- } cations to their Wladika, or chief, under the pretext of their common religion, The most Sle family of the country seems to be that of Petrovitsch, one of whom, Peter Petrovitsch, exercised great autho- rity in the tribe from 1770 to 1830, and his descend- ants figure in the recent occurrences which now at- tract our attention to this subject. Attacks have frequently been made on Montenegro in earliertimes, by the Turkish Pashas of Seutari, but in vain; and since 1797, the very year in which the republic of Venice was overthrown, the complete independence of the tribe has been admitted by the Porte. The strength of the native population may amount to about 20,000 warriors, for every man is’ practised in the ure of arms; but besides the actual population of Montenegro, properly so called, a considerable num- her of families of the same race have gradually settled in the neighboring Turkish provinces of Bosnia, the Herzegowine, and Scutari, who retain a vonnection with their kinsmen and their birth- Pp and may possibi, field the hostilities whic! negro. have broken out in Monte- tain account of the origin of this contest; but we are informed by the German papers that a considerable expedition against Montenegro was already in pre- paration by the Perte, when the mountaineers, be- | coming aware of their danger, pounced on the dis- | mantled fort of Zabljak, drove out the feeble Tarkish | garrison, left 1.200 of their own men in the place, | aud so began the war. It can hardly be supposed that these highland shepherds, who have no arullery, 1 hut little of the materia! of war, would thus have braved the military power of Turkey without yery strong motives or apprehensions. Certain it is, that within a short time of this occurrence, and, indeed, and Jand, which seem strangely out of proportion to ish men-of-war, said to he commanded by the Captain ade of the Albanian coast is established from Duleigno | tothe Austrian frontier. This is, however, a singular measure, for the coast thus blockaded is Torkish territory. Montenegro itself is separated by a small strip of land trom the sea; and on the west it is con- tiguous to the Austrian territory, where, of course, the Turks can exercice no direct control. | trian government has, however, also taken measures to prevent the passage of warlike stores. By land, the preparations of the Porte are still more considera- ble. Large bodies of regular and irregular troops are said to be concentrated in the Herzegowine, and Is- mail Pasha is at Mostar, prepared to march south- wards upon Stolatz and Gatzko. The Pasha of Scu- tari, Omar Pasha, who passes for one of the best generals in the Turkish army, was to operate on the other side of the territory of Montenegro; but upon his first attack he issaid to have been revesly handled by the enemy, and to have lost 600 men. All these vague, and we must wait for more authentic state- ments from the scene of action. 5 | But it is easy to perceive that whatever be the im- | mediate result of this contest, it is calculated to raise polite questions of a serious character. We are | i uformed that the offer of mediation already made by the Emperor of Russia is rejected by the Porte, on the ground that the Sultan is resolved to enforce his rights against Montenegro. This may be the lan- | guage of the fanatical party which has unfortunately obtained a temporary ascendancy in the Divan, but in reality the a ieged rights of the Sultan on Mon- tenegro have no existence at all, and least of all can they now be suddenly and peremptorily enforced in the present condition of Turkey and of Europe. It is by no means improbable that the movement of which ontenegro is at present the centre, has much wider ramifications, and we shall not be su: that a more extensive insurrection has kindled in the Turkish provinces. The Rayahs, indeed, are 80 devoid of the spirit or the means of resistance | to the iP apr which crnshes them, that they will be the victims of these disturbances, whatever may, be their result; but the mountain tribes, of whom a part profess the Christian faith, are not to be attacked and subdued with the same impunity. The political interest of these occurrences is fur- | ther Increased by the different views which ma be taken of them by the European powers. Will the Russian government offer no opposition to measures taken evidently without its concurrence, | and in direct hostility to'a class of Christain snb- jects of the Porte, in whom Russia has long pro- fessed an especial interest? Will France stand entirely aloof from eventa affecting the general policy of the East, and interesting to herself from their proximity to a region which once formed part of the French Empire? What policy will Austria, immediately con rences, he disposed to pursue? It is premature to offer any answer to these questions, and we have yet much to learn as to the trne natare and extent of the movement. But an opinion undoubtedly prevails in the east of Europe, that the Turkish dominions to | the south of the Danube are likely to become the scene of important events, and there is reason to fear | that the present ministers of the Sultan are men whose only strength lies in their old Turkish violence, which, if fet loose npon the Christian population of those provinces, might re-enact scenes utterly intole- rable to the present state of public feeling in Ku- rope. The world has made some progress in the last thirty years, though the old Turkish party may bave remained stationary: and atrocities like those perpe- trated by Ibrahim Pasha in the Morea, or Ali Pacha in Albania, would not be endured by Christendom. iand. re is nothing astr, If we In the political w except the contested el | and Mr. Perceval, for the representation, in Parlin ment, of Oxford University.

All the critics are in ecstacies with it. | From time to time it has been ramored that | diamonds had been found in the new gold regions in Australia, and more than one adventurer bas brought cayetahine stones, which were considered to | be diamonds, but which, upon examination, turned out to be white topases. The question of the ex- istence of diamonds has now, however, been most satisfactorily solved. Lieut. Colonel Sir Thomas Mitchell, Surveyor General of New South Wales, has just arrived in London from that colony, and has brought with him a diamond of good form and of the finest water, weighing three-quarters carat, found in the gold diggings at Ophir, west of Bathurst. Sir Thomas Mitchell has presented this specimen, and also one of a sapphire, found in the same locality, to the Museum of Practical Geology in London. France. From France we have little beyond the details of the imperial appointments. It takes some time for | every one to find his place under the new régime. The Peince de Wagram, for instance, has resigned, in disgust, his position as Senator, because he was not appointed “Grand Huntsman,” which office, he maintains, was made hereditary by the first Napoleon, in the pny of Marshal Berthier. M. Dupin is thought to have still the intention to accept the H poe of Procurenr-General at the Court of Cassation, put acts, probably, on his own maxim—“f fiut laisser bavarder avant, parce qu'on w'aura plus rien adire aprés.” Captain Belvéze is appointed commander of the nayal station of Newfoundland; and Colonel Bru- | not replaces Colonel Delafaye in the military com- mand of Martinique. | The Minig@re of Tuscany, Baden, and Hanover sented: ir credentials to the Emperor on the 8th | Instant. M. Kisseleff has been accredited as Rus- | sian Minister at Paris. On the 7th, the Ministers of Bavaria and Wurtemburg presented their credentials. | _ We are indebted to Berlin correspondence for the | information that the credentials by which Prussia recognized the empire consisted of three papers. The first acknowledges the Senatus Consultum and the plebiscite as an internal political event, with which Pruxsia has nothing to do but accept it; the second de- | clares that Prussia acts in this matter in unison with Austria and Russia, and accepts with satisfaction the assurance that the Emperor will observe existing treatics, and pursue the same policy ax he did when President; the third, which contains the recognition | itself is short, but written by the King himself, who | addresses the Emperor as “Monsieur, mon frere.” | The Russian note is said to be much longer, and to enter into various statements and remarks with re- ference to the new Les | After the 15th inst. the tariff of the coal and rough iron imported by land, will be modified as follows :— | Raw coal, from the sea to Hallum, 60 centimes; by the river Meuse and the Department of the Moselle, 10 centimes; by all other points, 15 centimes the 100 kilogrammes.

One poor fellow was brought before the Correctional Court at Paris, tor having called the Emperor ‘ Boustrapa.”’ The | Court was exceedingly puzzled to know the meaning of this term, applied to His Majesty, and concluded | it contained some formidable menace against the | chief of the State. It was, however, explained by the iugenions prisoner, thus:—Bon, meant Boulogne; stra, Strasbourg; and pa, Paris—-suggesting the three most important events in the career of the Prince. Another man was observed, when drinking in a cabaret, to draw lines with a penknife across the head of the Emperor, on a five franc pi The act was construed into a desire to scratch the august countenance of the Emperor himself, so the offender was taken into custody; and the Imperial Court at Paris hae just confirmed the sentence of a fine and costs imposed by the Tribunal of Troyes, on two Protestant Minist M.M.

The claims of the mercantile communities of Havre, Nantes, Hor- deaux, and Marseilles, have all been set aside, and the milttary port of Cherbourg has been fixed upon as the cradle of an enterprise, the object of which it is pretended is to develope the commercial resources of the country. ‘The concession of this enterprise is to be given to the company of the Messageries Nation- ales, who are to have a heavy subvention from the State, and who are aloes iy ‘possession of the mail steapackets in the Mediterraneau. The company is bound to establish ita head-quarters at Cherbourg; but it is to have a line either from Goree or Lisbon, branching off to Marseilles. The company is to be hound to have thirty-eight steamers of the largest size, and capable, in case of war, of carrying artillery and 2,000 men. It is eon clear from the very nature of this affair that it is more of a political than of @ commercial character. If protit were the object, it is not in the remote military of Cherbourg—a port most inconveniently situated in eve int of view, excepting that of annoying England—that it would fix its head quarters. A few years ago a similar project was started by the government of Louis Philippe; but on that occasion the object in view was better ised, and Havre was fixed upon as the point of departure. But even in that case the steamers were no sooner built (several of them, in fact, never made @ voyage across the Atlantic) than they were openly and avowedly added to the naval forces of the State. It is not to be doubted that the aame will be the case with the present rer aie Every one here looks upon it as a demonstration against land ; and a writer in a neighboring country, where the press is not yet completely led, does not hesitate to say that in this affair “the political question has deci- dediy carried the day against the commercial ques- tion,” and that the object of the French government et Ae paenare an imposing position in the face of england.

In the Constitutionnel is Sonora:— Count Raoucset-Boulbon -is a young man of from vats two to thirty-three. He belongs to a good and old | family in the South, where the Provence peasants und the Avignon porters cherish the recollection of his her- culean strength. On coming of age he found himsett master of a fortune of from thirty to forty thousand franes a year, which he ran through in royal style, prin- cipal as’ well as income. In Africa, whither he went partly to fight and partly to. colonise, he became the guest and friend made three or four campaigns with distinction, When the revolution of February arrived, he had rome idea of coming forward as a candidate for the National Assembly.

Fometimes in the republican public houses, whioh the political habits of the time induced him ‘to visit, he would enforce hit philippics by a tremendous rap on the table, which would shiver it to atoms, or he would wrech out a marble chiraney-picce with his hand and throw it upon the floor, to cut short a discussion. Those feats augmented the reputation of his eloquence with the people. If they esteemed Demosthenes they adinired Ajax. The Avignon porters—that terrible race—never called hima anything else than M. le Comte—M. le Comte Short. For them there was but one count in all the country—the Count de Raousset-Boulbon, just as there all the elubs. possessed the faculty of a was but one king in Europe in the tine of Louis XIV. | The revolution followed its eourse, and Count de Raousset-Boulbon went to California. In California, it is omly rich people that make their fortunes—pretty much the same as in London or Paris. M. de Raousset-Roulbon soon found that out, not to be discouraged by such a trife. He had bent his steps to America less in search of fortune than of adventures. and sportsman, selling his fish and game; then he started as a cattle merchant, and this business led him to Lunt herds in countries unknown to the other in- habitants of California. From California, he went to Mexico, At the period of his arrival there the province of Sonora was devastated by the Apacha Indians, who committed all sorts of depredations with impunity. Count de Raousset-Boulbon presented bimself to the Mex- ican government, and offered to deliver Sonora from the redskins with which it was infested. The Mexican gov- ernment was ready to fall upon the neck of M. de Rooue- | set-Boulbon, ‘‘Jama Frenchman. 1 know th J understand war. the count. ‘Good,”’ said the government, ‘we will place an army of 10,000 men at your disposul.”” raid M. de Raousset-Boulbon, “keep your army ; it would only get in my way. Give me some muskets, and two hundred thousand franes, and leave the rest to me.” He received the required sum, returned to Son organized a corps of Frenchmen, resolute men like b self, and proceeded to hunt down the Indians. The mei chants of the country, delighted with the successes obtain ed by their defender ‘aj long been masters of their provinces, sent subsidies to M. de Raousset-Boulbon, put themselves under his pro tection, and assured him that neither he nor bis troops should ever want for anything if he would only continue the war, ‘The Count closed with the offer. But the popu- larity of the young general, and the success of his Kittle ariny, alarmed the Mexican government. They issue an order requiring hira to quit the country with his forces. Count de’ Raousset-Boulbon replied, that the merchants and landowners of the country havin placed Sonora under his immediate protectian, he feit il due 10 his honor not to abandon them, and consequently he dis- tinctly refused to obey the order. The Mexican govern ment then sent a frigate to blockade tho principal port of Sonora, Count de Racnsset-Boulbon took the frigate. ‘The government, sent ¢ Blanco, at the head of an army, against the French commanded by M. de Raousset Houlbon.
