New York, Monday, August 22, 185 < ‘The News. Readers ave looking with great anxiety for the European intelligence now fully due by the Pacilic, and which it was hoped would arrive in season for publication in this morning's edition. Despite this eircomstance, however, and the fact that vgry little | truly, if Master Weed may be trusted, he | Tue Misssion ro France.—Our telegraphic ‘has had a precious set of traitors and | deepatches from Washington convey to us the | hypocrites to deal with; and for his dis- interested patriotism and self sacrificing devo- ' tion to the whig cause, has been most outrage- | ously requited. Only think of it. After securing, | | by dint of skilful electioneering. compromising and conciliating conferences among the jarring f elements of the Philadelphia Slaughter House ! Convention, the nomination and election of Gen. telegraphic news was received yesterday, our { columns te day will be found unusually well supplied with entertaining and valuable information of every description. Onr relations with Culm, Mexico, and the Spanish American republics are becoming s» closely bound end important that it isa matter of moment for the government and citizens of the United States to be- come intimately acquainted with the political opin- fons predominating in those regions, particularly in relation to this republic. We therefore seldom omit any opportunity of manifesting these ideas, whatever ‘they may be, to our readers, by giving translations of the moet important articles appearing iu their jour- nals from time to time. Acting on this plan we pub- Beh to-day translations of several interesting articles from Havana and Mexican papers, comprising 2 statement of the strength of the Spanish steam marine stationed in the Cuban waters; an article from the Universal, of Mexico, on the re-actionary ten- @ency of the Spanish American republics towards eonservative principles, as opposed to democratic ideas; andone from the Fil:hustero of New York, @eprecating the idea of making the independence and apnexation of Cuba a matter of mere bargain and sale, and repudiating the liberty which would not be attained by the strong right arm of her soas. We also give place to a paper written by Major Schlessinger, an officer of the last Lopez expedition, in contradiction of a portion of the history of that ex: pedition, edited by ex Captain General Concha, and @ short'time since published in our cclumas. All these pepers will be found instructive, interesting and p litically important. ‘The Southern papers state that there is some bility that Mr. Ochiltree, the whig candidate, has been elected Governor of Texas. This may prove to be the cave, as there were several demo eratic competitors for the office, and the issue was mainly narrowed down to personal and local con- siderations. We elsewhere publish the official report of the City Inspector, from which it will be seen that nine ebondred and sixty-nine deaths occurred in this city last week, of which upwards of four hundred may be | traced to the effects of the extreme heat during the Satter part of the previous week. Should the present Taylor and Mr. Fillmore, the very man to whom the party and the country are indebted for that ticket is treated as a renegade. from and after the death of good ‘ Old Rough and Ready,” and excluded from the favor and conti- dence of his successor, for whom the largest sacrifices were made. We had always thought, until these late revelations of Thurlow Weed, that he and Greeley had been among the most violent and uncompromising opponents of Gen. Taylor’s nomination-—that they did all that could be done to defeat it; and that, after the deed was done, they swallowed the ticket of Taylor and Fillmore with the badly disguised Rausea of a dose of calomel and jalap. But, admitting the evidence of Master Weed in the premises, we are astonished to find that to him. above all other men. is the whig party indebted for the fatal ticket and the disastrous vietory of 1848, We are also moved with an involuntary feel- ing of commiseration for the harsh treatment, in view of his invaluable services. to which poor Thurlow Weed has been subjected by the ua- grateful Millard Fillmore. No wonder that there has been discord in the whig family of New York. The Albany Journal was too out- rageously insulted, in the establishment of the Register under its nose, to submit to it; and in spite of the plausible explanations of ihe Regis- ter, the Seward organs and the Seward faction enffered quite enough under the administration of Mr. Fillmore, to remember him to the longest day of their lives, as they most unquestionably intend to do. They will remember him and his organs, and his friends, and be revenged upon them for the wrongs not ouly of Seward and company. but for the treachery and base ingra- titade which swamped the fair prospects of Gen. Scott from the day of his nomination. Butagata. Who ean read, unmoved with in- dignat‘on, the remarkable disclosures of Master Weed conecrning the duplicity and unblus ing hypocrisy of the “ Robert Macaire” of the New York city press, concerning the nomination of Taylor and Fillmore? Can the honest reader fully realize the fact that such double-dealing treachery is practised even among the most unprincipled second-hand politicians? Can it be that such men, guilty of such deceptions and political thimble-ri; ging—can it be that such unsernpulous huck- sters set themselves up as the conservators of public morality, as the teachers of law aad order, and public and private decorum? It ts even so. And hence it is that good and tr men, like Thurlow Weed, are distrusted. abused and vilified. disgraced and iurned adrift, while the unprincipled spies and informers who have betrayed them are taken into the confidence of the administration. No wonder that the party policy of Mr. Fillmore, while in occupation of the White House, resulted so unfortunately at Baltimore and in the late election. But. seriously. there is a al and a polili- cal meaning in these articles, from the opposing whig journals of Albany. They show that the defections which originated with the ix tion of Gen. Taylor, which were extended in every-direction by his short, misguided admiais- tration, which were not healed by Mr. Fillmore, but which were carried to open and wide-spread rebellion with the noinination of Gen. Scott are still open, and apparently without remedy. In the squaring up of the accounts between the Albany Journal aud the Register, there is no plan of reconciliation suggested. Nothing of the kind appears to have entered the heads comparatively cool weather continue, there will | of either faction. There is no asproach to a doubtless be a great decrease in the total of the forth- | re-unio coming mortality report. From the 28th of May to the 13th inst., the number of deaths in New Orlean3 amounted to five thousand six hundred and seventy-four, of which three thou- gand eight hundred and thirty-six were from yellow tever. A despatch from Boston states that th British bark Sir Jobn Falstaff, from Vers 012 for Liver- pool, Was spoken on the 7th ‘=-%, up to which day nine of her crew had 2d of sickness, including her captain, fires and second mates, and carpenter.

Ken- tuecky and Tennessee have not done so well as might have been expected. The admin- istration is omnipotent; the whig party is practically powerless for good or evil, sub- stantially defunct; and why should the frag- ments of the party attempt to rally in York under such disheart Why should they so far as to give them the cecasion for glorifying over another victory: even worse to the poor whigs than the last’ Why not let the democrats fight it out among themeelves, or put in and give the freesoilers the majority’ Are the whigs brood- ing over reflections such as th Perhaps ; for the whig articles we yp» this day leave the widest margin for speculation. Tn conclusion, we again commend those whig disclosures to our readers. They afford, at least, a striking Mlustration of the harmony at present existing amoug the organs of the two relentless whig factions of this commonwealth. Turthermore, they very distinctly indicate that unless something is “lily done to effeet a junetion between the diseiplea of Seward and the friends of Fillmore and Webster, there will he no other contest at the ensuing election than that between the free oft shell Of Union hard shells of un p the whigs sMpping in ax i and the as local has the great whig party come to this?

John A. Dix, of New York, but on Governor Howell Cobb, of Georgia. The appointment bas been now for months wavering over the head of Mr. Dix, and promising to rest on him at any moment ; but jhis free soil opinions ar- rayed against him such antagonism from the Union democrats, and from the democracy of the South, that probably President Pieree has considered that it would be impolitic to select him for the office in face of such manifestations. There may, therefore, be truth in the announce- ment received yesterday, that Governor Cobb, of Georgia, atands some chance of being sent to France. | Governor Cobb is one of the most distin- guished Union democrats of the South, and his political sentiments carried the State in his re- cent election to the governorship. If time con- firms the rumor, it will be, we believe, the first instonce of any important post of the first rank having been bestowed on a distinguished mem ber of the Union democracy; and the fact proves how desirous the administration is of conciliat- ing all sections of the party. It Governor Cobb be offered and accept the post of Minister to France, then the three most important foreign missions will have been filled by representatives of the different sections. Mr. Soulé, the Minister to Madrid, is a thorough- going Siate Rights mao. Mr. Buchanan. the Minister to London, represents the Northern conservative democracy; and the Southern | Union democracy will be represented in the person of the Minister to France, Governor | lowell Cobb, of Georgia. In this view, ifin no other, the administration evinces its fair and prudent policy in selecting Governor Cobb for this office. ‘The appointments will be justly ap- portioned if this rumor be verified. Phe Fees of the Consuls of the United States— Phe Nativity of our Agents Abroad. To iNustrate the real character of the United States Consular system, and to exhibit the im- perfections which atiache to it, we give the annexed tabular statement. This statement was compiled from reports submitted to Con- grese—tho first hy the Secretary of State in 1846, and the second accompanied a message the President of the United States, sent to the House of Representatives on the 2d of March, 1849, “in compliance with a resolution of the House, of the 20th February, 1849, a list of con- suls, vice-conguls,” &c. Our tabular statement exhibits the number of consular stations in 1847 ; the amount of fees received at each, together with the citizenship and nativity of the persons who in that year filled the consulates contained in the list. In many cities it will be pereeived that a great remissness prevailed among consuls re- pire, we have but four consular stations. Two of these were filled by native Russians, one by an “unknown” foreigner, and one only by citizen of the United States, (St. Petersburg,) whose fees in 1847 amounted to $348 The “onknown” man at Odessa received in the same year $42. From the two Russians at Riga and at Archangel no returns had been reeeived for two years, In Sweden and Norway, in 1847, we were re- presented at Gottenburg, Bergen, and Stock- holm by one Swede, one Norwegian, and one Englishman, the latter having returned $186 as the fees received, while the other two had made no returns at all. In all Austria we had only two consulates, and they were filled by foreign- ers, one of whom was a German. In Wurtemberg we had one consul, a Ger- man, who made no returns, In Sardinia we had two, neither of whom were Ameri- cans. In Tuscany two, filled by an Ital- fan and an “unknown” foreigner. In all Turkey we had only four consuls, three of whom were filled by foreigners, In all China we had but four consuls, only one of whom had made returns—that of Canton—who, in 1847, received $1,063. This inequality in our eon- sular arrangement holds good with regard to wany other countries, and is a disgrace to a civilized government. The badness of the tystem is only equalled by the loose and irre- sponsible manner in which it has been adminis- tered by the government. Where we are re- presented by one consul, the English send about ten, and all Englishmen. Where we also lave some few, to make rapid fortunes and leave others to starve, or the interest of the country is thrown into foreign hands, the English pay their consuls liberal standing sala- ries. Their consul-generals receive $5,000 to $9,000 per annum; consuls get from $2.000 to $4000 and $5,000 per annum. Their lowest grade, or viee-consuls, receive £200, or about 31.000 per year. In the Russian empire, England is represented by eighteen consuls and viee-consuls. [n Norway she has sevenieen, and in Sweden twenty consular representatives. In Austria she has six consular agents. The consul- general at Venice gets 95.000 per year. In China she supports seventeen consular rep- resentatives. The consul geveral at Canton receives £1800, or about $9,000; the consal at Amoy, £1.200, or about $6,000 ; the assist- ant consul at Canton, £4195, or $2,000 ; consul at Foochoofoo, $6,000 ; Ninpo, $7,000 ; Shang- bai, $7,000. The whole aggregate cost of her extensive consular representation in China, paid out annvally in salaries, (in 1852.) amounted to the gross sum of about $75,000. Contrast this with our paltry Chinese consnlar system, where we were, in 1847, represented by only four con- suls, one of whom—the consul at Canton—re- ccived the paltry fees of $1.063, while from the garding their duties, aud especially in making regular semi-annual returns. as required by law. A direliction of this kind should not be over- looked by the government. unless sustained by & govd excuse. By the report of ihe Secretary of State, eub- mitted to Congress in 1846, it appeared that there were then onc hundred and seventy-live consulates, cleven vacancies, and ten commer- cial agents, fonr of whom were in Hayti, The number of consuls contained in the list, submit- ted to Congress by the President in 1847, amounted to one hundred and sixty, and ten consniar agents, showing a decrease in the previous year of fifteen, owing. in part. to the interruption of peeceable relations with Mexico. By the report of the Sceretary of State in 1846, it appeared that in the year 1815, the aggregate fees received by consuls in all parts of the world amounted to $87,642 89. By the President's list in 1847, the aggregate amount of fees reached $111,529 63. This sum if equally divided between the one hundred and sixty con- suls, would amount to about $696 75 cach. Yet, what was the fact? The following twenty con- subates of the one hundred and sixty, received 420,507. More than one-half of all the fees received by all the United States consuls throughout the world. The consulates referved to were as follows :—London. Liverpool, Glas- gow, Belfaet, St. Thomas, Paris, Havre, Mar- seilles. Havana, Cuvacoa, Matanzas, Trinidad, Mayaguez, Antwerp. Valparaiso, Talcahuana, Rio Janeiro, Palermo, Canton, and Honolulu. All these fat consulates are usually filled by citizens of the Uniled States, and chiefly ot the legal profession, who have been members of Congress from the interior, or who have distin- guished themselves by their unscrupulous par- tisan services, Other consulates, of meagre fees, but where the relations of the United States are very important. are either filled by foreign- ers, or conferred upon the lowest political hacks, or upon men engaged in private traffic, who wish to use the title to subserve private ends; or upon foreigners, whose nativity, citizenship, and predilections, are all foreign to our country. and whose ignorance of our laws, commerce and productions is only equalled, perhaps, by | the folly of the government who confides its interest to their keeping. O1 the one hundred and sixty consulates in 1847, we find that there were thirty-three who were foreigners, or. that is, who were not citi- zens of the United States; thet is, their citizen- ship was put down in the list as ‘ unkaowa.” Ifthey had been citizens of the United States, the fact would have been known and so stated, What justice or propriety is there in an admi- nistration appointing men to fill important pub- Tie offices, without knowing whether thoy are citizens of the United States? Is the country so poverty-stricken in talents as not to afford a suflicient number of citizens qualified to dis- charge tbe duties of a consul? We find that « large proportion of the consu- lates, filled by foreigners, had made no regular re- turns of fees or anything else. As far as returns had been received, it appeared that the thirty- three consuls of foreign citizenship, in 1817, re- ceived ives to the amount of $24,815 16. Of the foreigners employed in the United States consular service in 1847, three were Englishmen, nine Trishmen, six Germans. two Frenchmen. two Spaniards, two Russians, two naifves of Demarara, (or subjects of Great Bri- tain.) three Italians. one Swede, one Norwe- of Trinidad, (or English enb- ative of St. Christopher. and one na- prns. The fees received by th course waa gouged from Am trade or American cifizens, amounted to some- thing over one-fifth of all the cox cotved in every part of the world, The deficiency of our e will appear the more stril oo the grent dispari. other pations, 9 of Great Britain | Jn all the vost territories of the Russian Bin. | iv gian, one Jeet.) one fow- ular fees ro- other tree no returns had been received. The money disbursed by consuls for the re- lief of American seamen, in 1846-47, amounted to $75,000, which the government had to refund to them. This business of relieving seamen opens a door to all kinds of fraud. Much of this money passed through the hauds ef foreign- ers acting as American consuls, Where feos were small, there was strong temptation to practi yand. either upon American commerce. captains, sailors, or upon the government itself ew is an Englishman, who may believe in the right of search. properly to respect or to protect American seamen?

On Saturday evening last, at the Shakespeare Hotel, comer of Duane and Williaa streets, a primary meeting was called by the French Democratic Com- mitte, to make arrangements for the presentation of a sword to Captain Ingraham, for his courageous in- terference in behalf of Koszta, at Smyrna. There being no committee of any other nation, the meeting Was convened under the direction of the French committce, but there were representatives of Italy, Poland, France, and Germany present. At eight o'clock, the meeting came to order ia the ha!l of the hotel. Fora preliminary meeting it was a large one. M. Caupporas (of the French committee) pre- sided, and briefly explained the objects of the meet ing. The French committee, he said, being now the omy organized executive body, its members had thovght proper to call a few democrats of cach Emopesn nation by the principal liberal press (the Hernany), to take snch measures as they might see fit, lor the presentation of a testimonial to Captain Nia his noble conduct at Smyrna. (Ap- planse. _Thore persons who were present were then in- vited to address the mecting. | Mr. Mantinacar moved, in tho name of Professor Foresti, that an universal committee should be formed, to be compored of one or two citizens of cach nation. ‘This commitjee should then take such measures as would prove our high respect tor Captain Ingrahain, (applause) and algo to show to the American people the tie which unites us. Toey should also have power to raise a subscription for the presentation of a sword ‘o Commander Ingrabam, to convince him, in the name of uuiverzal democracy, that, although we have not in this country avy legion d'honneur, we can reward merit. Mr. J. 1. Hirchsfeld (who was formerly a member of tre German democratic committee,) addressed his countrymen, and translated the motion of Pro fessor Foresti. , After a brief discussion upon the manner of form- ing the committee, the motion was adopted and the committee appointed, as follows :— Nalian—P er I i. wm pi —Dr. Kellener Kier. fain Mobuski. As there were no Cubans, Swiss, nor Hungariaus -precent, power was given to the committee to fill ies in their own body, and also to add one or more from each of ilies nations.
