GOVERNMENT AND THE THE RUSSIAN BRITISH SHIPPING. ]From the London Mercantile Gazette, Nov. 17.] As fer a# we can rely on the professions of the Eaperor bof Russia British merchants and shipowners have nothing to apprehend, should the present crisis result in a war between England and Russia, As we stated in our paper of day, the Czar seems to have given sufficient as surance to our merchants that, should war break out, not only will the property of English merchants be secure in Russia, but no embargo will be laid on British ship- ping without giving timely notice. There are many Teasons why the Emperor Nicholas should deal thus Uderally with the English nation, The commerce of this country is probably the most profitable in which the empire is ergagei; and to be deprived o! it would not only sericusly affect the Russian treasury, bat would render the war which would be the cause of it unpopylar throughout the Czar’s dominions. Again, it must be a great object to him that England should not proceed to eatremitios, while he has such a serious and doubtful war op his hauds as he is now engaged in. The entry of the English fleet into the Black Sea would paralyze theexertions of the Russian army; it would, almost to acertainty, save Turtey. It might, and probably it would, lead to the loss of Sebastapol, Odessa, and the Russian ports in the Black Bea, and completely cut off her connection between Asia and Europe in that part of the world. It must be the ob- ‘vious policy of the Czar to prevent Great Britwin, with the poweriul fleot rhe has at prevent off Constantinople, taking active part in the present belligerent operations Such Considerations alone will induce the Emperor Nicholas to be civil as Jong as possible to England; and if it be true, ‘a8 reported, that athreat has been ‘held out by Russia that the entry of a single English or Freach ship into the Black Sea would be comicered a ceclara- tion of war by those powers, it is easy to comprehend the cause of {t.. The ‘fact 1s, the Black Seu ‘is. the week point of Russia in the present war; particularly while he has such a flanking force as the mountaineer of Circassia to contend with At tte same time h may consider the Black Sea inaccessible, except by the Euro) pavies, which in reality it is, We heve, then, confidence toa certain extent in the professions of the ‘Czar, as expressed by the Russian Minister of Finance, on ‘the part of tae Emperor, to the English merchauts in’ 3t. eteraburg. The letter addressed to the Minister will be ound in our columns to day. No doubt the Czar, in act- dng thus liberally towards the merchants of this comnts is making @ virtue of ee tt which is generally the best guarentee for good faith. It is, however, satisfactory gor our tradeand our shipping to know that they are thus far safe, and tha! they will have timely notice before any- thivg more serious may ariso One important point, however, remains as yet unde- cided, not merely as regards Russia, but other naval po: ora. the neu'rality of the flag cover the merchandise ‘that may be on board?

Lord Clarendon declined to give them avy advice guide their operations. THE NEWS AND OPINIONS IN ENGLAND. [From the London Times, Nov. In the interval of suspense elapsing betweeu the reosipt 4 contirmation of such reports as we fonterda pul @ intelligence is, ‘we oan do no better than examine that this attack was-repulted, and it i# not an improbable pposition that th irks, following up thetr victory, advanced from their position at Oltenitza and pursued the Rursiap colomns in their retreat uson Bucharest. This town was afd to bo “in flames in three pleces,”’ poasibly from the effects of a bombard sent: but thore is nothing vnreasorable in presuming that it might have beea fired by the Russians as they evacuated it before thair pur- ruera. Thus far the story contains little improbability, for the division under Prince Gortschakoff was the last reserve of the Russians, and the whole force, indeed, of their any in this part of the Principalities, so that its defeat would naturally open the road to Bacharest Our cor- rei pondent # notifi ‘ation, however, was dated “« Wednes. Cay morning,” the 16th, from Vienna, end it stated that the Turks ‘had already passed’ the town of Bacharess pressing, as we suppose, on the Rursian rear. Bat thia certainly presumes uncommon activity of operations. On the’ 1ith, as we learned from ell sources, the Tarks were stationary at all the'r fortified positions on the left bunk‘of the stream, and we know that at Oltenitza, the chief of these positions, they were awaiting an attack which setually took place. They must, therefore, heve repulsed this attack, Fave marched over the sixty miles to Buchsrest, possibly Have contested the posnem ion of this town, and then left it on the track of the Russians within such atime as would admit of the intelligence reaching Vienna by the 16th. It appears difficult, also, to understand how Omar Pasha’ forces could, within this time, have been concentrated for the alleged operations ; 8 we were not informed of any previous concert between the several Turkish divisioxs, nor could the defeat of Prince Gortschakoff have been #0 confidently assumed a6 to admit of dispositions being made contingent upon the event. Possibly, none but the Oltenitza diviston of Turks were in immediate pursuit of the Russians, the others being left to advarce afterwards from their’ posi- tions on the news of the enemy’s discomfture The mention of Cronstadt, in Transylvania, as the point to which the Russians were retreatirg involves nothing improbable, The natural desire of the diseomfited foros would be to reach their own territories as soon as poaai- b'e, and to'evacuate the Principalities by re-crossing the Puth, But, as we know that bodies of Turkish troops had been thrown across the Danue at Silistria and Hir- sova, to the east of Bucharest, the retreat of the Russians in this direction might have been cut ff, and their re- tirement towards Cronstadt rendered inevitable. Cron- stact, however, is am Austrian town, standing on Aus- trian territory, and are we to understand that the Rus- rinw army, oF its remains, will be received there? Will this be no breach of the neutrality so faithfully promised by the Cabinet of Vienna? Suppose the Turks to be core upon’ the Russian rear at the Austrian fron- tier, is one army to cross and the other to be atop- ped at this boundary? The statement that ‘165.000 Turks had been despatched to intercept the Russians through the Principality of Servia” must inslude some error, as retreat of a military force from Suchar- est to Cronstadt could by any detachment marching we have last received is dated Buo and is of an entirely opposite character to that we have just discussed. It staces that the Turks had abandoned Oltenitza after having destroyed their fortifications, and recrossed the Danube, in consequence «' the appearance of » Russian force of 45,000 men. This news is, however, ‘a8 open to criticism as our “sta: \iing despatch ”’ of Wed- nesday. Whence comes there 45,000 men? How was such an army collected, and how comes it that, if sucha force ex- ted in Wralach the seria ere ai to maintain their position for a : fight an action w Terms, an with cine’ suse, ioken brigade Fre he army would have turned the scale? It is lamentable that we thould be so dostitute of trustworthy intelligence, but until the details of the occurrenses of which the tele- graph informs us have been received, we can but search out the truth frem the intelligence which reaches us. Altogether, the events of the fortnight must, we should think, have reminded many readers of that}memorable scene in Spanish history, beginning with the catastrophe at Baylen, and ending with the expulsion of Napoleon’s recoubtable troops from almost every place in Peniasula 2 forees of which little account had been taken up to at period. Nor will it be forgotten with what rapidity the scene in question was changed, or how effectually the French regained their positions before even the enthusi- asm of the Spaniards bad well evaporated. That this re- verse, however, will also find its counterpart in the Wal- Inchian war is more than can now be predicted. Nobody, of course, presumes that resources like thse of the Rus- sian empire can be sericusly impaired by the losses now svatained, nor can we anticipate much delay in the ad- vance of a second and more powerful Russian army towards the Danube, But, supposing that 80.000 or 100,000 men should again cross the Pruth, they will now, instead of find- ing the Principalities at their disposal, encounter a Turkish army of pr obably equal strength, flushed with victory, and animated with hope, Only some twenty yoars ago 60,000 Turks fied in consternation before 10,600 Egyptians; but now it cannot be denied that Turks have encoun' Russians man to man, and have proved superior, It has not been reported that the Russians were seized with any panic, or accidentally disabled, on the cor trary, they are represented as fighting with much constancy and resolu tion. Neither do we suppose that they were greatly oat numbered. If, therefore, the Ottomans, under such cir- cumstances, have defeated the Russians, it is plain they may do so again. Ina new campaign, too, the Russians certainly not be intercepted through Servis, The news t, November 14, would labor under the additional disadvan compelled to attack the Turks in position, The Princi palities would then, of course, be occupied with all the strength of the Turkish forces, disposed in the manner most formidable to an invading army, whereas in the late opera ‘ions the responsibilities of & perilous attask were thrown upon the Turks, while the Russians had the op tion of receiving it. As yet, however, arguments like there can be little better than epeculstions. The one great question for Europe to consider, and. if possible, re- solve by the light of the present experience, is whether the power of the Ottoman empire does really bear a rela tion to the power of the Russian empire substantially dif. ferent from that which has been taken for granted during the last hundred years, [from the London Standard, Nov 18—P. Mt.) The later accounts from the seat of war in the Kast of Europe are vague and conficting— the very latest, which seems to rest upon the authority cf the French Consul at Bucharest, states that the Russians, having collected 40,000 or 45,000 men round the Turkish position at Olte nitza, the Ottoman force retired unmolested to the right bank’ of the Danube. only improbability in this statement is the number assigned to the Russian army, which, though not altogether incredible, is dificult to account for. If, however, 10 many Russians were gathered together at Oltenitza the course ascribed to the Turkish cr mmander is precisely that which a sbilful general would pursue under the circumstances; it is in perfect accord. ‘ance with that Fabian policy of whish we spoke yesterday; 18,000 or 20,000 men, the utmost number of the Tarks at Oltenitze, ought not 'to be wantonly opposed to 40,000 or 46 (CO, when they have a retreat into which thry cannot be followed; and even had the Russians the command of the Danube, and means of transit for such s force as they are said to have at Oltenitza—and they have reither the command of the river nor the means of tran- sit—the attempt would be more tha hazardous in the face of eighteen or twenty thousand Turks. Meanwhile large reinforcements are said to be in rapid march for the scene of action on the Danube—fifty or sixty thousand ‘for the @ussians, and a stul greater, though unascertained number for the Terks, Ttis not, however, by numbers, but by skill ‘and courage that this great contest can be decided; and supposing the courage equal on both sides, and the Tarka have certeinly betrayed no inferiority, the skill bas plain- ly been bitherto altogether on the side of the Ottomans. Indeed, it vould scem that if Nicholas were to pour the whole military force of his erapire into Mol¢avia und Wal- lnchia, he would merely consign his half million to de. struction by diseare and famine, so long as the Porte shall © xfine ita efforts to the impregnable position that it pos seeses in the angle between the Danube and the sea—a position from which we hope its army will not be tempted to withdraw beyond the power of # prompt and safe re treat, asin the ease of Oltonitzs, As to danger on the western frontier, we see that that, too, le guarded azainst, by restoring the Turkish fortresses of Servia, and supply: ing them with garrisons. Puch being the concitions of contest at present on the Eoropean side, it may occur to some that the issue must depend upon the financial resources of the antagonist partie t the longest purse must win. Sach might be the case were the contest confined to Burops. but it is sar bas a weak and urguard- od it is on that side, as we have all along main- tained, that he has most to fear. The tyranny of Rusata is natefal and hated wherever it is felt. On its Asiatic border it is not merely to meet the hostility of detach: ments and divisicns of soldiers, but the detestations and vengeance of whole nations. While the Czar, therefore, may be macceavring his whole military power to escape checkmate by Omer Pacha on the Danube, region after region will be lost to him in his enstern empire, The pros pect is a gloomy one for the world; but ‘the woe be to him by whom the offence cometh.” To the mad despot in the first place, whose overbearing insolence has “eried havoc and let slip the dogs of war” upon ® perce: ful generation; and after him be the woo to his rervilo instruments in every country of Europe, for in every country of Kurope he hae his hireling instramente—ta some countries filling the highest offices—in others bell. wothers and sedition. The prospect for the civilized world is, we ray again, a gloomy one; but would this prorpect have been such as now it is if the British Minis- ters had acceded to the suggestion of our asighbor, the French Fmpero:—to command the keeping of the peace by him who kas been the peace: breaker! If Lord Strat- ford de Redcliffe had been instructed to eny that is gv. eroment, acting in perfect concert with the government of France, would regard ‘he continued occupation of the Turkish provinces by Russia, after s certain day, a8 an overt act of war upon Kurope—if this bold and just line had been pursued, “t ben fh would have been at o1 Aberdeen, the tool of Austr the sycop! of Russia—Lord Aberdeen presided in the government of Great Britain; and, as we firmly be- lieve, was wriggled into that position by Russian intrigue,as an utensil to serve the very Purpose that he has rerved. Lord aberdeen gained half a year's time for his Russian pa tron—half a year's time whiel Cost the world half a century of disorder, misery and bloodshed. Two things are certain; first, that unless the present war be promptly terminated, the whole face of Europe will be changed be- fore three years’ end; secondly, that it can be terminated only by a vigorous section of the great powers sgainxt Rueala, Turkey has proved her ability to defend hers If, and even to chastise her would be oppressor; but in the reaction there ia much to dread. Suppose—ani the hy- pothesis is easy—Russia driven bask into her own Ruro- peon limits, and driven, as she may be, to defend her ex intence in Aris, whst may not be anticipated from the smouldering rage—the “odium in jacens”” of Poles, Fins and Hungarians? The Russian empire ia no dcubt © curre to civilization and liberty; but who shall say that ite overthrow must not lead to anarchy in Europe; and of curses Nuarchy is the most terrible All oredit to Lord Aberdeen, who hss forced the alternative. KI (From the Londor Globe, Nov. 18—P. M.] ‘Once more the aspect of {he intelligence from Turkey is reverred, and it is now that the most recent and principal success is on the side, not of the Turks but of the Russians, Before the present intelligence it was re- ported that the Turks had advanced from various poicts At which they bad crossed the Danube; had taken Buchs rest, which was ‘on fire in three plaoo: ;”” had marched > foree through Servia to intercept the flying Ruslana and had left the latter no iesue from the Principalities fxeept through Transyivania, towards which they were io full digtt, By the uew gecounts all this is reversed. first, and the story has evident marks of exaggeration It is transmitted from the Freuch Consulate at Bucharest tothe government in Paris, and is avowedly derived from Rureian authorities, According to this account P. ince Gortrchakoff had succeeded in defeating the Turks with 40,000 mem; and a series of conflicts had also taken place near Giurgevo— Large island on the Danube—that place having been lost and won several tima The state ment thet the farks have ret eatec acroze the Danure at Oltevitea may be trae; but before we put very large con- structions upon such a fact, we have first to learn whether they intended permanent occupation of the left bank at thatspot. Atollevents it wuld imply that they did not hear of the success of any other divisions of the Turkish army elsewhere The la/est words reprevent a cannomading as being heard from Bucharest, in the (lirece tion of the Danube; and the latest account from the Turk: side represented a car nonading as being heard in the direction of Bucharest. The fact appears to be, therefore, that Doth sides are using great exertions; th it successes var but that while the Turks have not yet obtained that 9 torious possession of the Principality which was proma- turely announced, the Rassians have not had suilicieat strength seriously to molest or cripple them; and that neither side knows exactly what is going on. The exertions used on the Russian siie to bring up reia- foro: ments, implies a conscious want of rtrength adeqaa' to the immediate neceraty. It was of course to be e: pected that the exerti of Russis would be in propor- tion to her reverse id with the immense rasources at her command, a! 1 no doubt be able to bring into the field euch strength aa will enable her to maintain, at leat, a respectable appearance in the campaign. In the meanwhile, the Russians evidently have suffered severely, and, as the Prench consul intimates, it would be natura) that they should put forth the most favorable accounts. In the accounts thus supplied, they admit veral rebuffs. ‘The taking of a fort at Batoum, (in Asia, om the Black Sea, Ed. Huratp } by the Turks, with a great slaughter of Russians, is toa certain extent con ; arms d prisoners to considerable amount are reported to @ fallen into the possession of the captors: and the moral effect of this success must of course tell upon the Danube, in stimulating the Mus-ulmans against an enemy, which if not conquered at onse, bas at all events not bern found ixvulnerable. The general tendency of the intelligence juat received in, lo show that nathing .de- cisive is to be expected at once; and also to suggest the warn- ing that we must not put upon these reports from day to day @ construction too extensive. CABINET OOUNCILS, The Cabinet of England meets almost daily, but what- ever the result of their deliberations the ;ublic are no: enlightezed on the subject. Rumor, however, states that the Hmperor of France continues to urge in strong terms the necessity cf nome active movement against the Rus- key being now incontrovertibly in d all ho} end, he does led upon to remain neutral any longer. Sucb, at least, are his sen- timents as represented by current report. The British government, on the contrary, is understood to advocate lelay, until the matter work out its own adjustment. S, THE FRENCH VIEW OF THE LAST RUSSIAN CIRCULAR. m the Paris Pays, Nov. 17.1 M, de Nesselrode has, since the commencement of the Torko-Russian difference, published several circulars, which have aggravated instead of smoothing down diffi: culties, and compl'cated questions instead of solvi them ' We fear that the new document jast publish Will bave the ‘same result im the eyes of Turkey and of Europe. This document is a kind of commentary on the mazifesto of the Czar, addressed to the European cabinets, It is that this circular, skilful in form, like e ro thirg ¢ emanates from Russian diplomacy, frequ speaks with studied moderation of the pacific sentiments and dispositions of the Emperor Nicholas; it affirms that the Czar will not throw any obstacle in the way of the Progress of negotiations, and of the conclution of an Amicable arrangement, and in this respect the general tone of the work of iM. de Nesselrode is certainly less aggressive and less violent than that of the mani- festo. But, when we examine the groundwork rather than the form, we can easily recognise the close relationship between the two documenta in question; there are the same demands, the same misstatements fact, and the same errors of principle. The ciroular, like the manifesto, contains the strange assertion that Rasria is provoked by Turkey. It announces that the troops of the Czar will not evacuate the Principalities until repara- tion shall have boen made to the Emperor Nicholas. Rt ration for what? What is the offence with which the rhs are reproached? Evidently all this is not serious, and it may be justly regretted that a state so considera ble as Russia should wish to deceive as to the char- acter and real signification of events which the whole world bas witnessed. We can understand the Russian people being rpoken to in this manner for the purpose of exciting :beir national and religious feelings, but that these allegations should be found in a document des- tined for European diplomacy, in a communication from one power to another, and’ particularly when it is hoped to have them admitted as material truths, is what we cannot without difficulty conceive. There is aa- other passage in the circular of M. de Nesselrode which will not be rad without astonishment:—“It will depend entirely on the other Powers,” it is therein said, “not to extend the limita of the war.” Certainly we do not ad- mit that these words contains menace. Russia has too much wisdom and prudence to have had such an inten tion, and the European Powers would have too much dig- pity and energy to support it. Interpreted in its most in- offensive sense, this declaration is not leas unfortanate than contrary to the state of affairs. It is not on the Powers. but on Russia alone, that the enlargement or the restriction of the limits of the war deprads. The Powers who signed the treaty of 1841 have guaranteed the ioviolability of Turkey as necessary to the ba ance of power in Europe; they have unanimously edmit- ted that the present pretensions of the Ozar were at once contrary to the right of nations, the right of treaties, tke independence of the Ottoman empire, snd to the in- terests of Europe, which they represent in all its author- ity. The respect of these rights by Ruasis, or their defi- nitive violation, will evidently be the only limit of Euro- Fean i:tervention, The powers allied to Turkey will con- tinue to protect her against any unjust aguression, as they jwill? dox btless’ exercise thetr legitimate influence should she ever refuse an honorable conciliation. M. de Nesselrode affirms that this conciliation is wished for by the Crer, but, it may be remarked, at the same time, that Russia concedes nothing of her pretensions. On what point, therefore, are the bases of a pacific solution to be established? It’matters not; if t persevering de- votedness of diplomacy, at present condemned to {nac tion by the fatality of events, succeed in finding a formu- la which, while respecting incor testible rights, gives sa- tisfaction to even the most exaggerated amours propres, it will not be the Western powers that will render such con- ciliation impossibl [From the Constitutionnel, Nov. 17.] We will only make short reflections on this circular. Firat of all, we see in it an allegation which the Moniteur hat alrea'y corrected; it is that which consists in repre- senting the Sublime Porte as acting ins spirit contrary to the exhortatiors of the great Western Powers. That in incorrect, The four great Western Powers, and partic- ularly France and England, have not given to the Sublime Porte any counsel contrary to the dignity, the honor, the interest, and the security of the Ottoman empire, and they cannot disapprove the Sultan in his refusal of de- mands which encroach on his rights of sovereignty, and in his resistance by force to acts of aggression which no- thing calls for. A second point strikes. us, Count de Nesselrode endeavors to place the four great Western Powers out of the cage. But is his language moderate with respect to those Powers? In no respect. Thee’ dent interest of Runsia i+ that they shall not medal ther directly or indirectly, in Fer difference with Turkey. It is, then, solely in favor of this interest, that the Chancellor ‘of the Czar pleads when he gays that it will entirely depend on the great Western Powers not to eularge the limits of the war. We evon see in this phrare, under the politeness of form, an indirect request to France and England to leave Turkey to fight it out as well as she can with Russis Finally, Count ce Nessel rode tella us that the declaration of the state of war made by the Divan has in no rerpect changed the pacifi Gispositions of the Emperor Nicholas, But this assurance was only applicable to the moment at which the Chan- cellor of Russia spoke, and since then many facta bave cocourred which may gerve the Czar as a pretext for hold- ing different language. As to his conduct we have never found it either pacific or moderate. The pretensions of the Emperor Nicholas with respect to the Sultan will never be, in our eyes, an act of moderation any more than the invasion of the principalities can be, in the eyes of Europe, an act of peace. Now, unfortunately, wo do not see that, in this respect, the ideas of the Russian Cabinet have become modified” It, on the con’rary, porsists in them more than ever. The knot of the dificulty is, then, alsays the xeme, and up to the present moment the sword alone is employed in cutting it. THE EFFECT IN THE COMMERCIAL CIRCLES. A. DBENNISTOUN AND CO’S. CIRCULAR.

It is probable that some 7,000 or men passed the Proth in August. If we suppose that the regin ents are as complete as they are on paper, and make no deductions for the soldiers who have been carried off by typhus and cholera in the Principalities du- ring the last four months, the total of the Russian army cannot be larger than 80,000 mes. THE LATEST NEWS. Vienna letters state that the Turks have attacked Galats and Braila. Former advices mentioned that they were moving on those places, The mails to hand at Liverpool on the morning of the Furopa’s sailing-would indicate that there had been a good deal of fighting wherever the posts of the two armies came in contact, but without any result of importance. Cannonading was heard in various directions, and forth- with battles were manufactured for the stockjobbers. Reinforcements were hurrying to the Russians, and addi- tional levies continued to arrive at the Tarkish camps. If the season will permit operations of magnitude, both parties will soon be in a position to carry them out. A general attack is to be made immediately on the Rus- siap army, which being mush extended, are quite vul nerable. The island opposite Guirgevo has been the scene of se vere contests.

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN LOKD MOWDE4, THE BRITISH MINISTER TO SPAIN, AND AN AMERICAN GENTLEMAN IN PARIS. The following correspondence has taken place between Lord Howcen, the British Ambassador at Madrid, and Mr. Corbin, of Virginia, om a subject which has lately excited great interest on both sides of the Atlantic:— Panis, Nov. 14, 1853. Dear Lorp Howpey—I have been ruminating upon some of the topics of our conversation yesterday on American affairs, not ‘chewing the cud” of “bitter fancy,” for of that ingredient not a ssruple escaped your lips during allour long and friendly inter- course, when my countrymen, or couatry and its institu- tions, were the theme. One of the subjscts to whish I allude, and with reference to which your lordship spoke so frankly, is the suspected ooquetry (I will not sa} intrigue) which England is said to be practising with Spain in order to coavol the ulterior ‘Jestiny’”? of the island of Cuba, and, mesntime, to regulate its internal goverpment a d change its social economy in at least one Pregnant cen-e of the latter expression. Oa thia haac seme of the leading, ad, from their rolations to the federal government, most authoritative journals in the United States, have in my belief, aw erroneously ws too hastily imputed to Downi 3 street, and to your lordship specificaily, under inspiration from that far-famed losal- ity, the design of ‘‘Africanising” the “Queen of the Antilles.” As the most efficient auzillary to this end, she is not only to be allowed to import ad libitum, but to be incontinently aided in importing the aboriginal sons and daughters of Ham in masses “inuumerable by num bers that have a name,” thereby rendering her not only, As in eupposed, a dangerous neighbor, but an unenviable possession in the panlo-port-future for the ‘‘insatiate archers” on her northern flank. Now, the whole range and precire modus operandi of this portentous sche xe I pretend not to comprehend even darkly, much less to in- cate the ways and means, open or subdolous, by which it is to be carried into effect. I cannot do more, therefore, to enlighten you on the subject, than to com: mend to your attention two or three acticles, with the commentaries thereon, contained in some of the Wash- t, and which I just the National “page quer and ate, and conduc’ with sa- gacity ; and both, itis believed, insapable of inventing or perverting facts upon any subject; and least of all, upon one of #0 much “pith and moment” ina national, not ® ‘Barty, point of view. Whence the information was derived, or how transmitted, upon which their seve ral speculations or provisions are founded, it is not now important to your lordship, any more than it is to the object of this note to inquire. That it has » cis. Atlantic origin is next to certain, and, therefore, the sconer it i, in the interest of truth and of both coun- tries, nullified by an authentic contradiction the better. You will perceive that the American papers are dis- cussing the subject under different points of view, as best auits party purposes; but they nearly all depre- cate, and with notable vivesiivis of expression the land is said to re 61 and anon in of trying to effect the early manu: mission of the slaves of Cuba. To this end the poor African is to be rescu: d from his thirsty deserts and the pursuit of his man-eating com-patriotes, and consigned, with exquisite humanity, to a servitude under the na of “probationary apprenticeship” of ten years. At expiration of that period, if he be reported alive, the Union—journals of od hard winking captains-general do not, for the sake of their pockeis, extend the term to that of his natural life, he is to be set free from his friends, and no more care for by them—the ‘world all before him and Pi ovidence his guide. Now, my lord, it is hardly necessary for me to assure you that’ my faith is not facile enough to oredit the existence or the proximate contemplation, on the part of you,rgovernment, of any uch bold and bootless experi- ment—profitless, because its results would be mischievons to the poor negio himself. In addressing you this letter I build largely, but I hope not too boldly, upen the genial dispositions which, for long years, you have manifested towaida myself, and, if porrible, still more upon the friendly sentiments and lofty, unprejudiced views which have always entertained Bee the United States. iat as the subject is a delicate one for you ia your official Position, to treat further than a correction of the state- ments here referred to, I would have you dispose of it as you deem ‘wisest, discreetest, best.’” Meantime, as always, I romain, my lord, very faith- fully and sincerely yours, E. P. CORBIN, of Virginia. To Loid Hownrs, &6. LETTER OF LORD HOWDEN. Panis, Nov. 14. My Dear Conrix,—I have this moment received your letter of yesterday, and J can aasure you that it has not in the least embarrassed me. Our long friendship gives yous perfest right to axk me any questions that in a pub- ic situation I ean answer with propriety, and your tact will have teld you that in the present case I must be fully au anxious to impart the truth an you can be to know it. Ihave read the strange statements you have sent me about England wishing to “Africanise”’ Cubs, aad wbout the arrangements which I have beea makiog at Madrid to that eflect. I give you, in the most colema manner, such laugheble(though wicked) faorieationsallow my unyuali fied contradiction of the whole matcer. I have not the slightest hesitation in telling you what have been, during the last three years, my negotiations with ‘he Spanish goverpment respec Cuba, and you will see whether there ia even the slightest foundation for rumors which seem to ve been most sedulously spread abroad in the United States. First, I have beed making unceasing representations at the number of slaves annually importe1 into the island, snd complaints of the almost open matner in which the traffic was oarried on under the very noses of the captains-genarel, always excepting the excellent Gen. Concha. Secondly, I have been making fruitless at: tempts to get the Spanish goverrment to declare the sbominable traffic in men pirsey, that is to say, to fol- Jow the example of the United States in this particular. Thirdly, I passed my time in anxious solicitations to obtain the ultimate and complete freedom of those negroes called ‘‘ emancipadoes,” who have been fraudu- lently detained in bondage since the yeer 1817, in dis- regard of treatics. I rejoice to aa} t the Spanish government hag listened to the dictates of justice and humanity, and has granted me this boom. Fourthly, I have been endeavoring to procure an abrogation of that intolerant snd immoral law by which foreigners, wishing to settle in Cuba, are obliged to change their religion, on the somewhat startling principle, not un- derstcod el-ewhere that becoming bad mon is a satis- factory prelimiuary to becoming good subjects, To these ‘fiicial negotiations I have added, at varions times, friendly snd flicious exhortations to imp-ove the | internal system of the island, by facilitating the sdmin | istration of justice, and by liberalising the nominations | to office and employment among the natives of the ie!and. You will see what i really have done, or rathor attempt: ed to do, is very cifferent from what Iam said to bave done in your papers, When the true state of the case is known and Scone, or malevolence dispelle. reckon upon the good wishes of your countrym success of the measures I ask, #o consonant with yonr own | Jaws and institutions. In all that I have here to.d you | with entire candor the United States can only see rataral working of FE: declared and uichanging | policy in ® cause which to her, and Spain hersel? | must feel that, in days like these, uniess the executes her engagements and modifies be: intolerance, she can never hope to enter again, aa rhe ought to do. in tha hierarchy of nations.
