The nuptials of Louis Napoleon are over. The Emperor is legally and positively married to her Ex- cellency the Countess de Téba, daughter of Mme. de Montijo. It is said that Queen Isabella of Spain, who is said to be quite contented with the marriage of Mlle. de Montijo with Louis Napoleon, has had a violent dis- eussion on that subject with the Duke of Montpen- sier, after which he left Madrid, with his wife, for Neaples. It is also said that the Spanish Queen will wend to the Empress of France a splendid parure of diamonds. Mme. de Montijo, the mother, is to return to Spain withina fortnight. Her departure is said to have for cause the business of her estates; but the true causeis, ‘that her presence in Paris is particularly opposed by the imperial family. It is well known that she was the companion in pleasure of Queen Christina, with whom she was living in the most private intimacy. The Constitutionnel has given a full account ofthe wardrobe of the new Empress, which was written by Mme. Dose, a competent person in the millinery and dressmaking line. It appears that the Empress a- genie possesses twenty-nine dresses, which have cost 370,000 francs, inclnding all the diamonds, lace and gold trimmings which are affixed to them. A pretty good wardrobe for a woman. ‘The necklace of the city of Paris, which was pre- — eta whe cae Poanell, was refused a dd he francs, the price of that necklace, should be has devided that she sh at she should not be fot Ana necklace, which he would pay for ‘Louie and his wife have visited the Cha- of the china manufactory ot turned Ve and ohare a nae es when the In the meantime, | Sgchanged night signals with @ steamer. | two charming daughters.

There are still 1,200 people either transported or exiled out of France. The uncle of the Emperor, Jerome Bonaparte, has a nae a household of his own, by decree of the 28th ult. The marriage of Napoleon Bona) with Mdlle. de Wagram will not take place. The young lady is anges toa geutieman whom she has loved for a long time. ‘The Baron Brevier, one of the high dignitaries of the ministry of foreign affaizs of France, has left Paris for Constantinople, where he goes to fill the interim of Mr. de Lavyalette, who is returning to France on account of his health. ‘The last of the property belonging to the Orleans family was sold during last week; and now the members of that family do not possess a yard of land in the French territory. General Narvaez is still at Bayonne, from which pace he has replied to the Spanish Minister of War, t, owing to the bad state of his health it was im- possible for him to proceed to Vienna during the winter season, but he assured him that he would go thee as pay eo ible. yt e news from Montenegro is ofa very interesting nature. It appears that the mountaineers of the country cut to pieces, on the Lb5th ult., the Turkish army. ey attacked the encampment of Osman Pasha, of Schodra, and the panic was so great they fied in all directions. The Montenegro soldiers captured considerable booty, consisting of 17 flags, #0 powder caisons, 160 horses, and 700 anew They took to the mountains the heads of 317 ‘urks, who had been killed during the battle.

His conversion was made by the monk Ratisbonne, who had himself be- come a Catholic a few months ago. The Senator Count Potocki, one of the most influ- ential men of Poland, died on the 19th ult. _ The Americans residing in Paris have resolved to signa petition, addressed to the new President of the United States, General Franklin Pierce, requesting him to retain in office Mr. Goodrich, ‘orien Vice Consul of the United States in Paris. This, owing to the service rendered by this officer, not only to his countrymen, but also to French commerce, since he has replaced in his office the unfortunate Mr. Waleh, of such unpopular memory, would be but justice; and I think that General Pierce will listen to trywomen, who are received with theutmost cordiali- ty every Friday by Mr. Goodrich, hia wife, and his rich, in Paris, are theneutral ground opened to Amer- ricans visiting France, without any consideration of rank, money, or clique. ‘The appearance of Jack Frost has been but momen- tary in Paris, and the unfortunate old man, seeing that his presence among us was out of season, has abandoned the capital of France, to go tothe extreme frontiers of the country.

There were several parlors adorned with swords, sa- bres, pistols, guns, shields, helmets, and other instruments of death, which elicited much ad- The military costumes were in great number, and the short trowsers, with silk stockings and pumps, were in the jority.

But the committee of the Board of Health has declared in the French newspapers that no fear of the kind need be enter- | tained, for the cholera, instead of coming towards | | France, is going from Persia, on the opposite side. | The fat ox, which is every yearexhibited in Paris, | passed this morning under my windows, and I | admired his colossal form, which is indeed the ne plus ultra of bigness tor an animal.

Another exhibition, which was also worth being seen, is that of the wedding cake of Lonis Napoleon, which was sent to him by Mr. Parsell, a celebrated confectioner of Cornhill, London. This cake, which is three feet wide upon eleven inches of elevation, | was surmounted by a very elegant pyramid, sup- ported by four corneo d’abondance, and adorned with sugar, flowers and ribbons.

The Grand Opera gave, last night, the first formance of Verdi's ‘ Lonisa Miller,” which had been translated into bad French poetry, by Mr. Emi- lien Pacini, a young man of small literary merit. Fortunately, the music of Verdi was safficient to in- sure the success of the opera, which was brilliantly placed on the stage, and received with much ap- plauee. Mme. Bosio, the well known soprano singer in New York, made her début in that play, and although she sang with much ele- gance and mi , the thinness of her voice, and the shaking of her organ, were much re- marked, and it gave an unfavorable impression of Morelli, who played the part of the ad, who the role of the lover, sa paliro and Merly, not to forget Mad. rewarded with mach 4) | man?

It is said to be com- leted with the exception of the centre diamond, the emalien charged with the order not having till lately found one of sufficient beauty. A Brazil merchant has arrived from London with a diamond of the size and character required, and for which he asks 150,000 francs. It is said, however, that the offer made by the jeweller is much less than the mane demanded. A distinguished artist, Mr. José Ignacio de Bubas, intends to offer the Empress of the French, his former pupil, a piano of his own invention. That instra- ment, says the Diario Espanol, is one of the curiosi- ties of the day, being constructed on an entirely new geometrico-musical system. ‘The Monroe Doctrine of the United States, In an English Point of View. [From the London Times, February 7.) ‘ ‘The wisest and the most settled maxim of the poli- cy of the United States, derived from the founders of the Union, has hitherto been to abstain from interfe- rence in foreign affairs, for the geographical position of the American le, the be character of their political institutions, and their vast internal resources and prospects, all conspire to relieve them from the cares and burdens which have arisen for centuries from the mutual relations of the older States of Europe. As this maxim of the policy of the United States is still professed by the great body of that people, it may justly excite some surprise that questions exclusively connected with foreign affairs are the topics most frequently and most warmly debated in the Legislature of the Union— that even abstract principles and hypothetical cases of a policy ‘are raised in the Senate of the United States, as if the position of the American government in the world could be affected by resolu- | tions of this nature, and that expressions are applied on these occasions to foreign countries which must, if construed to the letter, have an untoward effect on the relations of the Union with other powers. Bat in reality these exhibitions are chiefly intended for | some domestic and party purpose, and the less they are allowed to influence the opinion we entertain of the fect eense of the American people, the nearer we be to the truth. Forei; litics are just now in the Union a favorite subject of declamation and of agitation. Mr. Cass himself probably, means no more in his harangues than that he is anxious to establish a character for democratic iotism at the expense of his discretion and his diplomacy, and to run dowu the last remains of the wl ig party. ie French opposition in the Chamber of Deputies used to follow the same course on foreign questions, and to lay claim to exclusive patriotism and national | pits The speeches of Mr. Cass are only less mis- chievous because they will be less read. Nevertheless, since it is the prevailing, and, we think, the unfortunate, practice of a certain class of politicians in the United States to make use of topics | and arguments calculated to mislead and exasperate their fellow-citizens on the state of their relations with foreign countries, we think it due to the senti- ments entertained in England towards the American people to repudiate our share in these aspersions. If there is a nation in the world whose honor and whose interests are at least secure from any shadow or dream of aggression from without, itis certainly the people of the United States. Is it not, then, ‘puerile and wanton to excite eee and resentment which are so devoid of foundation that they can only be supported by such feverish inventions as certain- ly never crossed the brain of any European states- it the cry for re- affirming what is called the Monroe doctrine, for the exclusion of European influence from the conti- nent of America, rests wholly at the it time on these extravagant hy; eses. In 1823, when Mr. | Monroe first asserted this doctrine in his me e to | Congres, the case was widely different. The doctrine of intervention had just been asserted and acted upon by the the continental ers of Europe,in a very | remarkable manner. The congresses of Laybach and of Verona had proclaimed it; the French army had entered Spain to enforce it. And as the principal American colonies of Spain had just declared their og ig rathy there might be some ground to appre- hend that the combined action of the continental | courts would attempt to extend its influence to the former collonial possessions of their allies. But Mr. Cass can hardly have forgotten that in that emer- 4 ency another voice was heard besides that of Mr. | lonroe and of the United States; for Mr. Canning | proclaimed with equal energy and authority that the | policy of England was for the independence and li- y of the New World. | Among other delusions which Mr. Cass employs his eloquence and influence to disseminate among his | countrymen, he asserts that every maritime nation | in Europe desires that ‘‘every possible obstacle should be interposed between the eastern and western por- tions of this magnificent republican empire; and that | Nicaragua routes, Panama routes, &c., are so many | abominations in their eyes, to be tolerated only til they can be closed up by the occupation of com- manding ‘itions.” It is unnecessary Mr. Cass, but we hope all his hearers had not forgot- ten, that the treaty signed by Sir Henry Bulwer and Mr. Clayton, in 1850, was expressly intended to give | the most formal and perpetual assurance that could | be afforded by the British government of ite earnest | and constant desire to promote the construction of a | ship canal between the two oceans, and that both eae did on that occasion voluntarily and for ever renounce all intention of occupying any po- sitions at all in connection with this passage. ‘It is not, certainly, on our side, or by any party of Eng- lishmen, that an attempt has been or could he le to shake the authority of that treaty; and we ma‘ here observe that, as the convention in question fs rpetual, and contains no V Padeye for altering or rminating it, the threat of denouncing it is alto- gether idle aad inadmissible. vps the question of Cuba, the publication of Lord Malmesbury’s correspondence with Mr. Everett has — @ peremptory, and, one might suppose, a conclusive answer to the char; still preferred against the European powers with reference to that and France have offered, in the Most unreserved manner, to disclaim all pretensions and designs of any kind whatever on Cuba, provided the United States will do the same; and the United States have refuted that offer. ‘This single fact tells the whole story, and neither Mr. Everett's rhetori- cal style, nor his historical prolusions, can at all con- ceal the plain meng} of it. Mr. Cass goes further, and as he holds that the Gulf of Mexico onght to be an American lake, he asks, what mugt be the effect in time of war of maritime ositions such as Cuba upon the trade of the United States; and he adds that, “even in time of peace, England’s many harbors would become places of refuge for a certain class of our popu- lation, and that perpetual collisions would occur, “ involving the of the two countries.” Bat, if this argument has any force at all, it has nothing to do with Cuba, which is not British, and certain never to become 60, but it does apply to the whole range of the West India islands possessed by Great Britain or by other European powers. All of them, with the exception of the Spanish colonies, may now become places of refuge for “ a certain class of the population of the United State;” that is to say, that under the different European flags waving over them the negro is free, and no Fagitive Slave act will con. sign the runaway to bondage. In time of war, all of | them might, no doubt, become positions of maritime | warfare, which may be said of all insular dependen- cies. But are we to understand that # senator of the | United States considers these natural results of the territorial righte of foreign nations to be a safficient ground for aren. r title to such a or that any party in the United States adopt a policy which, if acted upon, would pledge them to expel the nations of Earope from all colonies ? + i8 ® common practice with Mr. Cobden, Mr. t# remind | E Kossuth, and American politicians of the stamp of Mr. Cass, to inveigh against what they call secret Grlomacy, though the sooneh Of diplomatic trans- ‘actions iy in our day no more than one condition of ioetr eaty and success. But we venture to affirm that world has infinitely more to fear frem the ite extreme; and that if the calamity of war is a atin me rome . will be nee by eae di- plomacy, but by declamatory appeals to popular pas- sions, ant by presenting to the world the details of international negotiations, distorted by party objects or personal resentment. It is for this reason that we deplore the evil which such speeches as those of Mr. Cass are calculated to produce. We trust they are as little heeded in his own country as they are ia this, and we have some reason to believe that Mr. Cass has already forfeited all claim to be regarded as the organ of any political party. But he represents with rea fidelity the ignorance, the intem ce, and the bad feelings of the lowest class of the popu- lace towards foreign countries. To fool them to the top of their bent, he endeavors to convince the Ameri. can people that they are insulted and menaced by the rest of the world; whereas, if our words could be heard so far, we should venture to assure the Ameri- can people that nothing is more likely to diminish the respect entertained for them abroad than the habit of listening to such trash as these speeches with more favor than they deserve.

Mr. James Freshfield, in explaining the accounts, first alluded to the circumstances attending the sus- ension, and particularly to the delinquencies of Mr. Pries, (now under sentence of transportation for life,) through which that event had been brought about. There being nothing on the side of Mr. Turck, the acting partner, to conceal, with reference to the con- nection, that gentleman, immediately on aera that Pries’ cheque had been dishonored, commence: an investigation, and having ascertained the nature of the forgeries committed upon them, he resolved that the honse should at once stop payment, in order to protect the interests of the general creditors. The firm had enjoyed pe eee credit up tothe moment of suspension, and had it not been for the heavy loss fila eee ee peri eae te po have ed a considerable surplus beyond all e1 enta. From the state of the accounts it vwouldbe erceived that the assets amounted to £99,155, against fiabilities to the extentof £153,511, and that they thas showed a dividend of about 12s. 6d. in the pound. Taking into consideration the Reece liquidation and other contingencies, that full sum might not be realized; but at all events there was every prospect of 10s. being paid. The nature of the assets were generally favorable, especially one item of £43,490, consisting of money imme: ey available, which would of itself be nearly sufficient to pay a dividend of 5s.in the pound, although it could not be distri- buted until some further progress had been made in the withdrawal of liabilities. The other items of £37,882, debts, produce, &c., and £24,325 assets not immediately available, although they might take time for realization, were believed to he in every re- spect good. The difference between £99,000, esti- mated as the assets, and £153,000 as liabilities, left £54,000 in the shape of deficiency. In accounting tor this it was necessary to state that the loss by the transactions with Pries, subject to whatever might be secured under his [peta 9a was £81,742; and, deducting from that amount the capital of the firm of Collman & Stolterfoht, originally £38,000, but re- duced by had debts to £27,086, the result would be as stated. The suspension, disastrous as it was, ex- hibited less discouraging features than had been ex- pected, and it now remained to decide as to the plan of liquidation. In answer to inquiries, Mr. Cole- man, the accountant, mentioned that the London and Liverpool houses had been included in the state- ment as one establishment, and that all transactions out of which might arise any liabilities with the firms of Faber & Bierwirth, and H. Stutzer, of New York, E. Werthemann, of Amsterdam, and J. Hirsch & Co., of Rotterdam, had been properly taken into account. Of the acceptances out at the date of sus- pension, representing £278,600, which would be withdrawn by other parties, £155,000 had already been arranged, and there was every hope that the remainder would shortly be provided for. The opi- nion of the meeting ha’ Hy oe taken on the de- sirableness of the estate being liquidated under in- spection, the annexed resolutions were passed, it being intimated, however, that the gentlemen ac- cepting the appointment of inspectors were not cre- ditors, but acting as the representatives of other houses. At a meeting of the creditors of Collman & Stol- terfoht, on Friday, the 4th of February, 1853, Henry Géschen, Esq.,in the chair, Mr. Coleman, the ac- conntant, having produced and read to the meeting a atatement of the debts and assets, it was thereupon resolved unanimously: — 1. That it ia the opinion of the meeting that the house should be liquidated by the partners, under the inspection of the following gentlemen, viz.:— Henry Gischen, Esq., and John Cunliffe Pickersgill, Eeq. i a ee the salaries of clerks and servants be paid im fall. 3. That a deed be forthwith prepared, by which the poe shall covenant to liquidate the affairs of the jouse, and divide the proceeds among the creditors rateably, and in proportion to their several debts, under inspection, observing in such liquidation the rules of ‘inistration adopted in bankruptcy; that such deeds shall contain covenants by the creditors not to sue the partners for twelve months; and that the inspectors shall have power to enlarge that time if they shall deem it necessary; and that at the expira- tion of such period, or of such enlarged period, or sooner, if the inspectors shall certify that the liquida- tion has proceeded sufficiently, and upon the partners executing such assignment as the inspectors ip Oe ire of the outstanding assets to trustees for distri- ution among the creditors, the partners shall be re- leased from all claims. The deed shall also contain such other provisions as are usual in deeds of inspec- tions, to be settled by the inspectors on behalf of the creditors. 4. That creditors acceding to this arrangement shall not be prejudiced as to any securities or lien they may be entitled to, or as to their rights against Te nat the pri perty of the part fee 5. That the private property of the ners, after pee of their separate Tiebllities, "be applied in ¢ payment of the debts of the firm, according to the rules of distribution in bankruptcy, and the in- pete shall have power to make the partners such allowances as they shall think just for their services. 6. The inspectors shall have power to allow all or any of the partners to transact business on their own account, on their covenanting not to use, either di- rectly or indirectly, any of the existing assets of the firm, and to incur no new engagements which could by any possibility be thrown on the existing assets. Inter-Oceanic Canal. [From the London Times, Feb. 7.] A company has been advertised for constructing an Atlantic and Pacific Junction Canal through the Isthmus of Darien, at a cost of £15,000,000 sterling. ‘This route, it appears, has never been actually sur- veyed, but some superficial observations, lately made, have.led to the assumption that if the levels should ore such as they are supposed to be, a canal capa- ble of paseing the largest vessels without locks might be excavated for the sum specified. That the reve- nue to be derived from a ship canal between the oceans would be such as to repay even a very heavy expenditure, is a conclusion long since arrived at by those who have most thoroughly in the question; but whether an outlay of £15,000,000 for a work that must be subsidiary tothe Ni canal, every foot of which has been the subject of the most ise eatimates, and which can be built so as to Timit lange ocean steamers, such as the Northern Light, for less than £4,000,000, will be found profit- a point upon difficulty in formingan opinion. The shares of the roposed company are to be of £100 each, with a leposit of 10s.; and a conditional concession of the Nine has been obtained from the government of New Granada, to whom the sum of £24,000 ig to be paid within twelve months of its date.

MEASURES REGARDING THR OF ITALY—LORD ON SLAVERY— y STILL Mi LANIES. = : Sir Jes Wood, at a public dinner at Halifax, ave a hint, (the first that has been given,) of the tentions of the goverpment with respect to the extension of the franchise. He said he did not hold that there exists any peculiar test of virtue in the rental of a £10 house, but some such criterion was necessary for the purposes of registration. Nevertheless, the government is prepared to extend the franchise so as to embrace the most intelligent of the classes now excluded by reason of not paying rent to toa amount. This is‘an important hint, com. ing as it does from one of the most cautious members of the government, and would indicate that some definite plan is decided on by the cabinet. ‘The Earl of Clarendon, they say, was to receive the seals of the Foreign office, on the 13th inst., and will immediately afterwards hold a diplomatic levee to receive the foreign ambassadors.

The Galway Mercury gives some interesting infor- mation respecting the EROEON of the “social revolu- tion,” derived from a week's travel through a con- siderable portion of the northern division of Galway, and the ‘aul all the districts through which the writer had passed, a ope and striking change was daily taking place in the occupation of the soil.” The class of small tenants, who were 80 numerous antecedently to the famine, have either entirely dieebacared or are dis- sppearing so fast, ‘that in a brief space few or none will re: .” The causes and the ee results ae this strange” phencmenon are thus briefly set forth :— “The state of the peasantry throughout the whole west of Ireland, previous to the'late visitation, however satis- factory as compared with that which succeeded it, must be admitted to have been most wretched —miserable, in- deed, far beyond that of any other people in the world. The slaves of riously as compated with them. ‘They had nothing which they could reaily call their own; for their property, their labor, and, indirectly, their lives, were at the mercy of the landlords, and the landlords exercised the Ady they sessed to the fullest extent. We need not describe ow, in the course of time, the evil effects of all this re- coiled uj the landlords themselves. The money pro- cured without regard to the dictates of honesty or justice was spent without reference to those of prudence. This would not have lasted long only for law, which rendered it almost impossible for landed property to be made available for the liquidation of the owner's debts. The, consequence was that mort- gage was heaped upon mortgage, and incumbrance upon incumbrance, until sums, in many cases far ex- ceeding the marketable value of the land in the best of times, were sunk in a gulf from which it was practical impossible to recover them. The famine came next, ani shattered this rotten fabric toits very foundation. The tenantry of those estates generally either died of destitu- tion, ernigrated from the country, or became workhouse | paupers, “Heavy rates of all kinds fell upon property, and more than sufficed to swallow HA the trifling rents which it could produce under such altered circumstances, and the creditors could no longer be paid the interest upon their claims, ‘The passing of the Encumbered Fs- tates Act was the next vem step. The consequences which it pecnnees are wi person will now undertake to question their utility. It ‘was, however, only one Ca the proper direction, that of utterly abolishing the law of entail and constituting land an ordinary article of commerce. By its operation the encumbered properties were placed in the hands of men of capital, who, if they bave enterprise also, have ‘an open field for the most extensive experiments. ‘Large tracts are out of cultivation, and numerous holdings are daily either vacated spontaneously or by ejectiment. Of thejand which is thus placed in the immediate possession of the proprietor, there is scarcely any portion relet, save in farms varying in extent from fifteen acres up wards, and the rents demanded for these are in general moderate. Such a plan must be attended with man present hardships, but we think that ultimately it will operate beneficially. Be this as it may, the rage for con solidation is so great in the districts to which we are re ferring, as to lead to the most merciless aud wholesale system of extermination. The sheriff and his officers enter a village, and possession of the tenements is taken upon the understanding that the holders are to be read- mitted. And they are readmitted, but it is us caretakers inerely. In the course of a little time the real evictions begin to take place, and one by one the unfortunate peo- ple are driven out of their houses. This plan of action is adopted in order that public attention may not be at- tracted by a wholesale clearance summarily perpetrated; but it is precisely the same to the sufferers. Thus the people are fast passing away from the land in the west of ireland, The landlords of Connaught are tacitly com- bined to weed out all the smaller occupiers, against whom a regular systematic war of extermination is being waged. There cannot be a doubt but ina few years this class will altogether disappear from Connaught, what- ‘ever may be the result.’’ Farl St. Germains, the new Lord-Licutenant of Treland, held his first levee on the 8th inst.

Each of its sections has before it the es- timates of one or more of the ministers. The Council appears justly alarmed at the amount of expenditure, which is about 57,000,000f. more than last year; and all parties, ministers as well as councillors, appear embarrassed how to place the Led of expense and that of income in harmony.

Sm—The Times of the 10th ult., in an article | about Cuba, recommends the Cubans to make repre- sentations at Madrid, rather than keep up a treason- able correspondence with New York and New Or- leans. Now, this sage advice would not have been given had the editor of the Times been aware that all representations must go through the hands of the overnment here.

Austrian, SUSPICION OF A CONSPIRACY IN HUNGARY—RETURN OF EMIGRANTS FORDIDDEN—MOVEMENTS OF AUS- TRIAN AND RUSSIAN TROOPS TOWARDS THE TURK- ISH FRONTIER—THE HUNGARIAN PRISONERS IN comoRkn. There is little of political interest from Vienna, public attention being absorbed by the amusements of the carnival. It is not exactly known what led to the numerous arrests which took place some time since in Hungary. That a widely extended and cunningly devised con- spiracy was discovered is certain, but what its exact chieot™ and what its chances of success, it is imposei- ble tosay. From hints which are now and then dropped, it is supposed that the greater part of the produce of the robberies in Hungary goes to swell a secret fund, out of which the expenses of some future revolutionary movement are to be defrayed. The ex- treme secresy with which the Lear tar Noszlopy and_his confederates are conducted, has | given rite in Vienna to strange rumors, among them | that Ne svlopy isa government decoy, and that a lady of rank, named Teleky, with many other persons, had been privately executed at Pesth—but these pro- bably are mere fables. The Ocst Correspondenz says that measures will he taken to prevent the return of the emigrants to Austria, “who bring back nothing more valuable than the political opinions they have picked up among the German fugitives in North America.” It is stated in Vienna that the — part of the garrison of that city are under orders to march to the Bosnian frontier, in which neighborhood, and in Aus- trian Albania, an army of 70,000 men, with 120 guns, is to be concentrated, under the command of the Ban Jellalich.
