Vienna, June 6—The re-establishment of diplo- matic relations between Austria and Switzerland is altogether due to te intervention of the French Am- bassador. M. Steiger, the Swiss Envoy, has re- placed the Helvelian arms, which had been taken down, im front of liis hotel, At Vienna it is thought that the Turkish, Sardinian and Swiss questions will be peaceably settled. Baron Brack, the Austrian Ambassador, has |:it Trieste for Constantinople. ‘There is stil] the -«me want of information, the Same uncertainty, iti regard to the real intentions of the Czar. Moreover, we hear that neither France nor England, thro:;) their ministers at Constantino- ple, show any disposition to interfere with the in- teresta of poor, unha py Turkey; and it would seem that the parvenu |} wperor of France manifests some inclination toward: an alliance with his worthy brother of the Nort!). Meanwhile, the Sultan, though not yet disposed to give ap all hopes of compromise, is making all prepocations for war, both by land and sea—Omar Pacha, in particular, having been order- ed to march his ariny northward to Monastier, onthe northern frontier, 1 order to be ready to withstand the forces of the Czur now assembled in large bodies on the banks of the Pruth. i ia a Austria, however, is said to be trying to mediate ‘between the two contending powers; and surely, whether it be true or not, such a course is obviously tor the interest of that country, inasmuch as, in case of any war that would engross the attention of Rus- sia, Austria would +e in great eel of losing Hunga- , the le of which woul rise and the yoke of their oppressors. These are the last om dits ; nor can we g) any information at Feseat Penk enshice us to form an opinion as to the One thing, however, is very certain, that at home are quite at a nonplus, and that, like the man between two stools, they fall to the ground, and cut but a poor figure in transaction. Lord Aberdeen, the fisttered di- of continental courts, fears, or at any rate to quarrel with the Czar; and the re- be, that Eagiand will be compromised, and obaracter tor bold independence and love of Meanwhile, however, it is ramored that Admiral Dundas has received orders ef ee the French fieet; while, on the other hand, we hear that the army on Pruth has been reinforced by two regiments of and four of iniantry, thus making an aggre- | ead ie force of 160,000 men, and that the troops have crossed that river on pontoon and entered the Moldavian principalities in treaties of Astrakhan and Adriano- tree, it looks like action; but we ieve in the real probability of a war until lly begun, because we think that Russia, of its territorial acquisitiveness and long : to demolish Sen alee at in- vol Europe in a general war, and alienating the Holes 5 feelings of two powerful States like Tngland and France. Layard was to have brought forward an interpel- lation to-night in the Commons, Clanricarde in the Lords. They may postpone doing so, to give the | government time. I have ‘eg heard that the Russian Ambassador has i the Russians in London that they must be prepared to leave England at a moment's notice. vintiers look very warlike—funds going down; but Hntiowrgd gon ye do against the combined | The preservation of Turkey, as a barrier to the ad- vance and preponderance of Russia, and the conse- quent balance of or in Europe, is so glaring a ne- ity that even Louis Napoleon has deemed it ad- | y juet E i to _ with the northern ty- rant. The = gS and French fleets have both been ordered to the Bosphorus ; a firman has been granted to them to enter the Dardanelles, and should Russia, which everything seems to indicate, cross the | Pruth, which marks the Turkish frontier, it will be | tantamount to a war between that power against ‘Tanker, Bolan and France. Al and Prussia will in all probability endea- vor to remain neutral; but if the of war once break out, it is difficult to say where they will stop. Moreover, Austria owes an immense debt to Russia for the help which the Emperor gave in putting down the rebellion in Hungary. Of the preparations made by Turkey, the files of papers you will receive by this mail will give you full details. England is sending out ship after ship to the Mediterranean. It is still to be hoped that the | Emperor of Russia will hesitate before commencing | hostilities, but his dignity is compromised, and the worst is to be feared. The late schism in the cabinet is regarded here as pee it cannot long continue to work pee me ago we saw the im Pe lity ing such contending principles; and after the insult that has been put upon Lord John beanie ig ore the owt eee by | re apologise to such men as Messrs. Sadtter, Sova, and Monzell, for the honest expres- sion of opinions fully authorized by the exposures of the Sligo and other elections, we do not see how hia lordship can any longer be regarded as the real leader of the lower house, and the great organ of the government in that assembly. Months ago we objected to the admixture of so many persons of pro-Popish, P' ite notions in the administration of a decidedly Protestant country, and now we have the proof of its impelicy in the re- pudiation of views respecting Popery and Popish rule, which are held by four-fifths, at least, of the people of England; vor can these matters be looked on by our Protestant queen with any other feeling than intense concern. The mini: may, for a brief period, be held together by such concessions to please the Irish brigade; but the abandonment of a | | dae principle is sure to recoil with destructive force on their heads, and paralyze their moral in- | Juence in this country. The veteran, Joey Tame, the staunch reformer of | pers Pe standing, and now, we believe, the father | of House of Commons, appeared on Tuesday last ‘n quite a new character, ata meeting of the Kast | india proprietors, in Leadenhall street. We never expected to hear of any endeavor made ‘vy him, of all others, to uphold abuses; yet here was ae, praising to the very echo all the doings of John Company, Pee, every evil of war or mis- @ stron, with of amal, management to the of Control, or, in other | words, to the double-government and speak- ing of the present condition of India and its native p m, as being so good and prosperous (!) a3 ireoyt to need atuelioration. Now, be it known that Joseph Hume feathered his nest pretty warmly in India himself, and is now | a large proprietor of India stocks. He speaks feel- | ingly, ‘therefore, on the subject, and in defence of his own interests. When, however, we consider that other men, equally well acquainted with our Anglo- | Indian empire, as Mr. Sullivan and others who have | been there much more recently, do see and deeply lament the great abuses that prevail in all parts of our administration of Indian affairs, we cannot but regret that the veteran reformer should, at the clese of along and valuable life. have condescended to garnish {Aviat amet bon aan vd a ays- that not one redeemin; ity, and is @ di a to anenlightened and Chalatian country like ourown. We had hoped to find him foremost in the | ranks of its reai friends und true reformers; instead of which, he stands forth in hi bad pre-emineace of | @ conservator of the worst abuses. Ever since Louis Napoleon raised the daughter of | the Countess Montijo to the rank of an pet all Paris has set itself to imitate every dress and custom | of Spain, however absurd and incongruous. mantilla, the veil and the fan are gradually bo place of all the former coiffures of Paris; and the rentier’s wife to the lorette and blan- chissense, all are eagerly aping the manners and at- tire of their grave neighbors across the Pyrenees. Nay, even the men seem infected with this mania; and it is now not unosual to see some of the young bloods habited as toreadors and matadow, or in regu- | lar majo costame, assuming all the airs and impor- | tance of a Spaui-h cavaliero. All these fancies just suit the character of our mercurial hbors; and we can wonder at no act of extravagant folly among ihe people, when we find the Emperor and mo i state to the hippodrome, as they did on yy last, to see a silly man attempt a flight over Paris in a balloon and parachute, aiding his descent with wings, The affaiz was a failure, and the silly idventurer fell mach hurt in the Siege hd Mars. Sut only think of our own Victoria and Albert going to Vauxhall to witness the positively last ascent of the veteran Green, or some second Cocking. Eng- land would be unanimons in ridiculing such an exhi- bition of royalty: bnt /a belle France often admires ‘what graver England looks upon as and ridiculous. i “ . A splenaid exaupie of political <p'r't-rappings & appears in the evidence before the commimuoners | 0 those of | complished wife, Miss K. Fitzwilliams, and Mr. and ie poney bees: peed trough a hae ty amas is am some in- visible hand. This beats spirit-rapping hollow; and we advise ants of the Carlton, to avai] themselves lay of this admirable scheme for magnetizing the voters at all the forthcoming elections. Such a hint, indeed, is too good to be thrown a in these times, when so many are on the watch to r the pec- the working classes, and preparing them for the roms efficient in any note in London, as well as of a motley group of Reape. of ail cleans sais eo from the provinces. ‘o the Society of Arta, it will be reme: tion; and certainly, within have labored ae the Model Schools, hicae ty | both to Society and the British and Foreign have rendered most valuable aid in work. Neither must we forget the efforts that have & Varty, &¢., to inorease the appliances for ele- mentar¥ scientific instruction. We are glad, there- | fore, extremely glad to see, that the first TA | of the city of London exhibits such practical proof | of his approbation of such efforts. It is a step in the right direction; and it is to be hoped that the addresses that were delivered and the examples that were shown of the vastly improved resources now available for the inborn of the working classes in piety lm ig on their callings in life, will not be lost on the great number | of municipal officers and influential men from our provincial towns, who were assembled at the Man- sion House on Wednesday. By an act passed in 1850, ovr town councils are vested with powers for establishing 1uuseums and li braries; and a bill is now before Parliament enabling not only them, but hial authorities, to provide schools for the tion of the inhabitants gen- | erally. This re-union, therefore, comes aha |po- sitely sand ceperenaa ys asl Cape who are a! 4 to | avi ves of the powers here given, will, it is | to be hoped, be ledto establish their schools on a T basis, and with all the im ments which present advanced state of educational science | has placed within their reach; for, in the middle of the nineteenth century, when three times the num- berof children are receiving school instruction as expect more than the mere elements | of reading, writing, and arithmetic, will be taught in these new schools, such as elementary science, ractical mechanics, and other subjects direct] aring on the probable callings for which the chil- | dren are destined. The future is full of hope, and we | trust that it will not be marred either by narrow- | mindedness or false economy. Almost contemy ly with the announce- | ment of the electric telegraph communication opened between the coasts of Suffolk and Holland, we have received the news of a line of similar communica- | tion laid down between the Great and Little Belts ; 80 that now there is, or soon will be, an uninterrupt- ed communication between London and Copenha- | gen. In fact, so greatly is the tele, h extending it- | self over the eaters that ee tone there gee be a capital of Europe with which we may not hold | intercourse within a few brief minutes.

It is to be hoped—and ferventiy too—that Mr. Bourci- | cault’s new drama will turn the tide of affairs at this once popular establishment. | “ Sardanapalus” was splayed on Monday at the | Princess's for Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean’s benefit.

The most important event which has taken place | since the departure of my last correspondence, is the | dismissal of the French National Guard from all the positions where its members were daily watching over the safety of Paris. General Lawostine, Commander-in-chief of the National Guard, ordered by the Minister of War, | published on the 4th inst. a proclamation to the | guard of Paris, by which the citizens were informed that, for the future, their services would not be re- | quired except at the poste of the Liat Mayor. As | for the poste of the different city halls of Paris, where they were daily obliged to be on duty, they have been surrendered to the regular army. Though the proclamation of General Lawcestine contains the best eulogy possible of the members of the National Guard, the citizens who composed the | militia have received this news with much reluctance, and they have expressed their diwatisfaction in the strongest manner, and with the most abusive lan- guage. This new step against the rights of the French citizens has caused tbe utmost alarm in Paris, and some excitement at the Bourse, It is said that Louis Napoleon, having now obtained all that he wanted (rom the people, is aiming to disarm the citi- zens, for fear that they would torn their maskets | $10, &e. themselves in the important business of educating | | formed and Sarpoed onthe English plan.

The other parts of the route land were enjoying the utmost tranquility. ‘be last news from Switzerland is of a very inte- riage It is whispered that all the refagees from bardy will be expelled from the Helvetic republic, by a private age made with the go- vernment of Austria. Though such news isof a very serious nature, we have received it from such a safe source that we are inclined to believe it true. In Belgium the of the House took place on the 1st of June, a project of law was presented by which four hundred thousand francs a would be allowed tofthe Royal Prince, Duke of Brabans, as an income, since the day of his marriage with the Arch- duchess Mary of Austria. The palace recentl: bought for the royal couple in the Rue des Duc will Pee ceeteiers at an expense of two hundred thousand ics. An emissary of Kossuth in Hi » the la Varga, who Ted been travelling in aha country with a passport, was on the 2d instant, in ae neighborhood of Pesth, and taken prisoner to nna. The Oriental question is still unsettled; and though rumors have been spread in Paris, not a parti- cle of veracity is to be attached to them. The only thing certain is, that the English squadron is still at Malta, and that two new men of war have arrived. No doubt that addition to the force of England in the Mediterranean Sea has an object, but no one can tell what it is for the present. The French fleet isstill at Talavera. | At Constantinople, the attitude taken by the Sublime Porte against the Ambassador of had met with universal approbation, and the Sul- | tan was daily receiving from the procnoss deputa- tions whose mission was to compliment him. The Greek subjects were the more numerous among those deputations, and they showed much attachment to of this one. Then the The whole army of the camp, and its of Versailles, were ; and the it offered by the neatness costumes, the bi y of the helmets, cuirass, sabres and muskets, was really su- perb to behold. The holy mass had, review, been celebrated at the altar of the camp, sit- uated in front of the small wood near which the Com- mander-in-Chief, Marshall Magnam, had his q ters. As soon as the review was over, at about two o'clock, the se2ond races of the season began. They offered much interest, especially to the ee who were engaged in the bets and horse ridings of that chevaline exhibition. Two American gentle- men, were the most conspicuous amongst the betters, and lost about $5,000 or $6,000 each. The more int of the race was the be- tween two magnificent horses—one belonging to M. Aumont, and called Royal Quand Mime, the other to M. Colslier, and named Aranni—who did their best to win the stake of 2,500 francs given bythe city of Versailles. Royal Quand Méme was sick, and nearly abandoned by the betters, particularly those of the Jockey Club, but a their anticipations, he arrived the first at the pole, and won the purse— not to speak of 20,000!. in bets which been made by several amateurs inst M. Aumont. The giand exhibition of flowers was, after the race, much reguaaiied by the f who had come to Versailles to see the sight and all sights. Whilst {the curious were examining the rich floral presents exhibited there, the Emperor and Empress came, who were much more looked at than the flowers. Inthe meantime the ‘grand waters” of the mammoth waterworks of Versailles were thrown open and the sight was quite magnificent, for the rainbow was saneere on the other side of the 5 water through the lig id element, and showed the waterworks with great advantage. On the same dey, at Angiers, a fete was tak- ing place to whi been invited, but where, owing to the distance and the shortness of time, I was not able to go. It appears that the citizens of Angiers, in order to celebrate the srmivernery, of the entry of Louis XIII. in that city with his mother, Queen Mary of Medicis, in 1614, represented that commemmorable event with the uf jin bethy The actors of that procession costumie collected a e sum of money for the poor. ¢ improvements of the city of Paris are still & Vordre du jour. There is much said among the architects of a new project, by which the Place de la Concorde would entirely renewed. The ditches which were filled with earth during last year would be destroyed, the column would pee in a remote line near the Champs El and near the Tuilleries, and the statues would be erected on another . No doubt this would render the place large and more asta for public fetes, but I do not think it ld pore much more the sight. All the wharfs along the same are to be improved and covered with the lam sand. Then the émeutiers will have no chance to find stones for a riot, but the dust will be so thick that the city of Paris will be as powdered as awig during the time of Washington and Lafayette. The me of Clichy, where the allies were driven back by Gen. Mancey in 1814, is alzo to be embellished with the bronze statue of that illustrious hero. A large will be made on the spot, and more than two hun- dred houses thrown down. Never, for a long time, has such a mania for destroying old houses and build- ane ner. ones, been witnessed in any place in the world. The price of rents is much snrnened in conse- quence of this state of things, and landlords and pro- the government, of which they appreciate the justice and loyalty. In the meantime, the armaments are | continued in Turkey. Two camps have been formed, | one at Roudjouk, the other at Brousse, composed of | 260,000 men of the reserves, who, with the 250,000 | men now ranking in the regular army, are composing | 500,000 men. Achmet Bashaw, | with the men of war under his command. The | fieet of the Viceroy of Egypt, Abbas Bashaw, is | also expected at Constantinople with a body of | 15,000 men. Omer Bashaw, General in chief of Rou- | amilia, was also to arrive at Shumla with his body of troops of 100,000 men. He was to be named Seras- | kier, (Commander in chief) of the army. Several English and German navy officers have heen enlisted, and many Poles and Italians have taken rank in the army. Menschikoff, the hambastic ambassador, is now at | St. Petersburg, and no one can tell what reception he will have from the Czar. The Ambassador of | Nicholas _is quite angry towards Lord Radcliffe, the British Plenipotentiary, whom he accused of having given advices to Abdal Medjid. The shield, coat of | arms and fiag of Russia bave been taken away from | the door of the Russian embassy, and M. de Nessel- | rode who had been told to have taken the place of Prince Menschikoff, is gone to London as bearer of | despatches. To whom’ The question has not yet received any answer. ‘The Russian Czar has not only some difficulties | with Turkey, but also with Persia. The Shah of tnat | country, to whom the Government of Russia bad lent a sum of 50,000 francs, has been summoned either to return the loan immediately, or to give in exchange the provinces of Ashabad, on the Caspian Sea, but he has refused to consent to any of these demands. A company bas just been formed to establish a line of steamers between Antwé and New York, which will be in full operation within one year, and will make their passage once a month during the first year, and twice a month in 1855. The Balgian overnment has given its consent to that affair, and ihe steamers have already been ordcred to the ship- builders of the country. Several articles have already appeared in the co Tomns of the newspapers of the French government, supporting the Emperor, which have had for their ob- | ject the abuse of the new President of the United | States and his cabinet. I bave icularly to notice the article which has been published in the Constitutionnel of the 3d inst., relative to the appointments signed by him of minis- ters to foreign courts. Messrs. Borland and Soulé bave met with the sarcasm of that journalist, and I dare tay that they have been represented in the ug- liest manner. The article aims at no less a point, than to advise a refusal of access to the Court of Ma- drid to Mr. Soulé, who is said to be the defender of Lopez and a member ot the Lone Star Society. 8 for Mr. Solon Borland, who is sent to Central America, he is represented as an “ eater” of English flesh, a man of rough and gross habits, and the worst of it isthat the name of the New York Hera.p is quoted and mentioned as a witness of these false imputations against our statesmen. ‘he oy thing I may say to excuse the writer of that article is, that M. in, who wrote it and signed it, knows but very little about the United States and the men who are at the head of the gov- ernment. How many like him are there in Paris? Miss Theresa Ferenszy, of Presbourg, a celebrated Hungarian poetess, whose verses were a8 popular as those of Moore in Ireland, committed suicide by shooting herself with a pistol, on the 3ist ult. She was only twenty-six years of age, and her family was one of the most honorable of Presbourg. On the 20th of April, she published a poem called “ The Birds”—a work which was full of the most admi rable poetry. B. H.R.

Luck! what good luck! We have had a day of St. Medard, free from rain, storm, hail, thunder and | lightning. It must be said, to explain the above, | that whenever the day of St. Medard is wet, it iscus- | tomary that we have rain in France for the following | forty days ; and this year we have had a St. Medard as dry as a hot dog-day in August. But asa true his- toriographer I must say that from the Ist inst. up to ‘Tuesday last, we have experienced a series of gales which have caused the rivers to overflow the banks in several parts of France. The river Soane particularly, overflowed its banks, and the hay which was raised along its shores, was carried away and | lost. This bad weather has also deranged the fétes which were to be celebrated on Sunday last, at Versailles, not to mention the procession of the féte Dieu, which had been allowed to parade in the streets of all the villages of France. Despite the rain these Catholic exhibitions were made with mach pageant, and elicit- ed the utmost admiration of all beholders and the followers of the Roman Catholic faith. The proces- sion of the Church of La Madaleine was particularly remarkable for the richness of the costumes and the draperies, flowers and other properties exposed tothe public gaze. prietors are daily aeteeeny, their demands. Many among them are abandoned by their tenants, and are forced to keep their apartments empty.

These aninals have been gent to Fontainbleau, where the hounds are trained for the autumn hunting. ‘There is now a nificent ox exhibited in Paris, which weighs 1,883 kilogrammes. This huge animal was raised at Zurich, in Switzerland, and will be called the mastadon oxen. A sum of 6,750 francs has just been offered by the administration of the Hospitals of Paris for the destruction of the enormous rats which abound in the neighborhood of these establishments. It ap- ears that their number has increased of late years, io the great nuisance of the inhabitants of the dif- ferent wards where the Gill dees are situated. A superb gold plate, weighing 200 grains, and supposed to have been the bosom ornament of a Roman warrior, has just been discovered near the ere of Lamotre St. Aubin, in the department of ‘ura. A few weeks ago a large earthen pot, filled with silver reals, of the Spanish coin, dated 1600 and 1620, were dug out of the same place. The magnificent piano, made in the style of Boule, of M. Moatal, the renowned Pee maker, has just been shipped for Brazil, as it has been bought by the Emperor of that country. This instrument is remarkable for its perfection and elegance, and is made on the same plan as that which had been bought, a few months ago, by the Emperor Napo- leon, and which is now at the Tuileries. The inventor of Saxophones, and other brass in- struments, Mr. Sax, whose reputation is so great throughout the world, has added a new laurel to his artistical crown, by the invention of a new system of piano, the sounds of which are more than trebled by the addition of a bridge, similar to that of a violin. This new invention has been immediately warranted by a patent, and Mr. Sax has made arrangements to Care: @ certam number of stock holders to ex- ibit it. ‘The discovery of the magnetic telegraph is claimed by a Napoleon Henry, doctor, at Arnaville,in the department of La Meurthe, who, it appears, has, since 1836, established a correspondence, by the use of wires, with one of his friends called M.

But previous to that discovery in 1794, the magnetic telegraph was also used, as it may be seen by a long article published by the Assemb'vé Nationale, of the 4th inst., which I send by this mail. ‘The steam of water ison the eve of being replaced by the steam of ether for the use of engines of all sorte.

In my letter I had said that the war steamers of your honorable nation had not arri at Shanghae, but it was expected that within the first ten days of the present moon they would be here. I also ted that only one ahip of war belonging to the great lish nation was stationed at Shanghae, which was aot sufficient to repress and exterminate the rebels. which the Goverzor replied as follows :— FS benk of the Yangtez-kiang have been taken by the rebels; and although their force has been attacked by our grand army from Hu-nan and se, yet the main body of the st embarked on board v8 ‘00ps bate rep at successive stages, yet, em account of eadth of the tin Our grend army from various quarters, by land, could not be instam i sels of war could not closely fo! ‘and prevent the pro- gress of the enemy, so that the rebel forces have become wore and more daring and ible.

Now the rebels presume to move east- ward, down the stream of the Kiaog, and disturb Nan King; it they be not speedily intercepted, trace will be at en an .

What kind of answer was officially vouchsafed by the British Consul to the Taoutae has net transpired: and the United States consul at Shanghae would doubtless defer response until the arrival of the Commissioner, Colonel Mar- shall, who, with the Honorable Dr. Parker, Secre- tary of Legation, only cee ed that port on the 27th asthe Audax left the morning atterwards. The editor of the Mail, who labors somewhat under a proriency to be thought very knowing in American movements, has told us, when commenting on the laissez faire policy found most acceptible to Downing street levers of ease, that “Colonel Mar- shall, the representative of the ony oe foreign ywer having any great interest in the commerce of hina—is not a man to shirk responsibility,” and from the way in which he announces the fact (sawder) he would lead us toinfer that something was going to be done. In the present instance, however, our contemporary, we fancy, is all out;|| the probabilities being that Colonel Marshall will do the same as Sir George Bonham, i. e., nothing. We furnished in our last overland summary some interesting paseages from Dr. Macgowan’s note book. We cannot do better than conclude what we have now to say by extracting other parts, (as printed in the North China Herald of the 26th ult,,) having immediate passes on the subject of the Fi okaoatg troubled state of the Chinese empire. Dr. Mucgow- an’s note book, in iteelf, is about the best commen- tary on passing events in this country we ever re- member to have seen in print; and did we not know that he but writes truly, and under the impresssion occurrences immediately Brodce, if disposed to carping, we might point out one or two very contra- dictory opinions on the course Dr. Macgowan ap- ears to think it proper foreigners should pursue.§ But the internal economy of this great land is now developing itself in away yielding light even to those who before may have deemed themselves the best in- formed, (those, however, who, in reality, are “the best informed” feel, we are sure, as the great Sir Isaac Newton expressed himself of his knowledge of astronomy, “like a child traversing a beach by the ocean—picking here and there a pebble, and feeling indeed, most insignificant and ignorant.”’) (Of Seu, ex Governor General and High Commis- sioner, we hear many rumors, but cannot come at any thing like a reliable one. Chinese partizans of the rebels told us,a short time ago, that he had joined them; and there certainly Sppeare some sup- ort to this by the way in which bis family have en treated in Canton, his wives being turned out of house and home, and every thing confiscated which he possessed within the city. The imperial mandate regarding him was received by acting Governor Peh a few days ago; and it is said, that. the moment he got it he advised Seu’s principal wife secretly, who, under cover of night, caused large treasures to be conveyed toa me of satety. Only some six thousand dollars (principaliy in old) were found at Seu’s residence when searched the following morning. It is notunreasonable to fear that directly news of successesin the north reach Canton, the numerous robber gangs about the city will attempt a riot. Weare assured, however, that the local government feel satisfied that they have sufficient force to repel any aggression of this kind; and we hope it may prove that they have such suf- ficiency. At present, frofi recent personal observa- tion, we can say, that we never saw the people more disposed to civility: the forts at the north of the city being (contrary to the assertion of a contempo- rary) without a single soldier in them; the hundreds of handsome sedans, with respectable old ladies and children, forming continuous lines of miles in length, bound (past the Mahomedan ee and cemetery) to the hills, to make sacrificial offering at the graves of ancestors, attesting the very little degree of fear entertained on this score. Besides the loss of prestige consequent on the late war, the Manchus, since the treaty of Nanking, have forfeited the esteem of the all potent literati hy the flagrent, and in point of extent, unprecedented sale of offices, than which a more obnoxious method of re] sat ge re ei could not be de- vined, This practice asta and alienates the most important class in the State, and lets loose amon, tthe people as their rajers, unscrupulous speculators, by whom they are abhorred. It under- mines the foundation of the whole social system, for the grand principle which gives vitality to the State, is, that talent and virtue are the solitary and indis- pensable qualifications for public employment; stim- ulated by such a prospect, those who apply them- selves to letters, are thus naturally firm friends of order, and of the institutions of the country generally and the government that repels, by the adoption of another principle, cannot long repose in safety. ith public affairs in such a condi- tion a8 — now are, no native dynasty could exclode enthusiasm in ita support against foreign aggression; far lesa, then, can present hope to restrain. aspirited attempt by a native prince to row of the foreign yoke, imposed with force a, i iat = FF e, 5 2 E 3 Hue i fy [ Z ? sufficiently evident, that they dial a reception to Tien-teh’s troops peniones nature will admit.
