AFFAIRS IN EUROPE. OUR LONDON AND PARIS CORRESPONDENCE, Our London Correspondence. Lonpoy, Friday, June 2, 1854. The Coup d’ Etat in Denmark—The 5th June—Coun- sel of War at Varna— Movement of Troops—The German Powers—Camp at Boulogne—Silistria— Bamberg—A Ministry of War for Palmer- ston—The Derby—The King of Portugal— Stocks, ec. ie I mentioned in a former communication that I had reason to believe that a movement was pre- paring in Denmark, and that the 5th of June, the anniversary of the Danish constitution, had been selected as the day fora great popular demonstra- tion. It appears that the Danish government has been informed of the intended demonstration, for we learn by telegragh that a coup d’état has taken placed at Copenhagen, and that all the oppositton journals have been indicted for treason. We-have no details yet of this coup d’état. Fermentation has reached ite pitch in Denmark, and a revolution may not be improbable, which, if successful, would by a declaration of war by the Danish Le me agin Russia. The example would proba- Biybe followed in Sweden and Norway. The Scau- dinavian States never had s0 favorable an oppor- tunity of throwing off the yoke of Russian in- fiuence. Something like activity is now evident among the expeditionary forces of Turkey. Lord Raglan, Marshal St. Arnaud and Omer Pacha held a conn- cil of war at Varna, and then all started together for Shumla. Three English and three French regi- ments had left the camps at Gallipoli aud Scutari for Adrianople, and more were to follow. Russia must now be well aware that the enlente between France and England is not a sham, and that more- over both powers are determined to act with ener gy. Of this, Austria and Prussia are also now aware and Austria evinces a wish to throw off Russian in- fluence ; but both powers in despite of their again signing a protocol (No.6) with France and Eng- YJand, are not to be trusted. They will do Russia a good turn if they can. It is currently reported that Austria has sent a declaration tothe Ozar tosay thatif he does not give in and withdraw from Turkish territory, she, with great regret, will be compelled to join the Western Powers. I assure you in high quarters here, the protestations of good will of Austria towards the policy of the Western Pow- ers, are credited, and it is believed she will ulti- mately join them, but caution in this instance is certainly advisable. ‘ Prussia is more honest in so much, asthe king does not conceal his aversion to an active co-operation with France and England. Rumors are again cur- rent, that King Frederick William will be compelled to abdicate. ‘There exists a strong popuise feeling in, Prussia against the supremacy of Russian influ- ence at all the German courts, and if Helsingfors, Revel and Cronstadt fall, the result of this feeling | The Russians { cannot be accurately predicted. themselves are alarmed, and are getting tired of the pressure which has been laid so heavily upon them. Louis Napoleon has ordered another camp to be | formed at Boulogne. The sappers and miners have already arrived there, to make the preuainay ar- rangements. A French army on Rhine is no Seipecbeay. All Europe is, in fact, armed to the tee Silistria still holds out, It is astonishing that no attempt has been mage to relieve the gallant garri- gon rd that most important fortress, which is the first step towards the ans.

Lhe tele, hic despatches via Vienna, are not to be trusted. ial all emanate, more or less, from Russian sources. Thus, the re- port that Nicopolis, Turtukai and Sistowa are oc- cupied by the jans, is not true. Count Buol Schanenstein, the Austrian Prime Minister, is mar- ried to Baron Meyendorff’s sister, so there is.a sort of entente between the brothers-in-law. Gencral Mey- erhafer has left Vienna, on a diplomatic mission to Berlin and St, Petersburg. From the shilly-shally- ing displayed by both German Powers, any reason- able being must come to the conclusion that nei- ther Austria nor Prussia have any inclination what- ever to wage war against Russia. The conterence of the minor German States at | Bamberg has comets but the proceedings have not transpired. The Austro-Prussian treaty is regarded here as waste-paper, being liable to any sort of con- pop a The document to the Diet is more im- ni It has been decided to create a new portfolio or Ministry in England. Hitherto the Duke of New- eastle has been Minister of War as well as Minister of the Colonies. He is to have his choice.

Hat der teufel einen sohn So iet’s sicher Palmerston. Tf tke devil has a son ‘To be sure ’tis Palmerston. Sidney Herbert would then takethe Home Office, and Newcastle keep the Colonies, Nothing has, however, been finally settled yet. If you had been at Epsom last Wednesday you would scarcely have supposed that England was at war with a powerful enemy. The. Derby went olf. with its usual éc/at, and the winning horse Andover was a far greater personage than either the Czar, the Emperor of Austria,or the King of Prussia. Parliament did not meet, and many of our good London citizens closed shop for the races. Two strange steamers, ‘k-rigged, with white fannels, one with » large square at her maintop masthead, have been telegraphed up Channel, in- side the Eddystone. The King of Portugal ia sup- posed to be on board one of them. The royal carriages are waiting for him. He comes on a visit to the Queen and Prince Albert, his cousin. ‘The last advices from Madrid express the hope of an amicable settlement of the Black Warrior busi- ness. A letter frum Genoa says that the Spanish ee in that port had received ordera to weigh ir Cuba. onpon, June 2, 1854. The New Plan of Military Operations on the Danube @ Mistake—The Real Blow Agamst Russia must | be struck in the Baltic—Crew of the Tiger—Ru- | mors versus Facts—The Winchester Enngrant Ship. Raglan, St. Arnaud and Omer Pacha, the English, French and Turkish chiefs, have met and consulted about the conduct of the war. It is believed that the plan they have adopted is to defend the Balkans —that they will suffer the forts, such as Silistria, to be defended as long as possible by their present garrisons, and then give up the Principalities to the Russians, and fight hard to preserve Turkey proper, which begins at the Balkan range of mountains, Those, therefore, who thought that the French and lish were about to drive the Russians helter- skelter out of the Danubian Principalities will be disappointed. It isnot so easily done. The Allied Powers, with all their vaunted preparations, are only about to act on the defensive. It is very evident that in the East the heart of the great colossus will not be reached, even though the allies destroy Odessa, and even conquer the Crimea. if seating, effectual is to_be done with the Czar it will probably be inthe North. It is there the vitals of the Russian empire will be found ; and if Nicholas’s Baltic fleet aud towns were taken from him, St. Petersburg made too hot for his court and nobles, and the Muscovites driven to their old capi- tal at Moscow, Russia’s communication with the most polished parts of Europe would be cut off, and it would sink into a second-rate power The ac- complishment of this is retarded by the obstinate neutrality of the Northern sovereigns, who, up to the present time, cannot see it to be their interest to gin the Western Powers. It was stated by the English and French pers that the crew of the Tiger were marche into Bessarabia, and would be treated cruelly. Advices | which state that they have been received from them, are at Odessa, and treated kindly. There are the usual reports, repeated for the hundredth time in the journals of the Western Powers, that the mind of the Czar is iene his people discontented, his , P' army decimated by management ; and still for all this the Russians progress in their aim, and no stunning blow has been struck by the allies. The English people have been very impatient at the slow progress of the war, but they are learning pa- tience fast. Dundas has been severely criticised, put no one as yet hassaid aword about Napier. Every one knows that old Charley will fight as soon as he gets a chance, and from his slowness may be conjectured the difficultics he has to encounter. e conduct of Captain Fitch, the commander of the Woshington, has been highly thought of here for the part he took in saying the passengers and crew of the Winchester emigrant ship. Lonnon, May 30, 1854. The Annexation of Cuba—The Real Feeling of the English People Regarding it—The Fishery Quis- tion—Mr. Buchanan's Opinions on the Nebrasica Bill. The Heratp of the 17th comes to us freighted with strong matter concerning Cuba and the filibus- ters, so strong indeed, that some American gentle- men of the serious schoo! have become alarmed. Many presume to dislike the Heraxp, to differ from ite opinions, to doubt ity assertions; neverthg- ‘there is @ report that ten thousand | Jess, it ia the journal most read here, most sought for, most quoted, most relied upon for early news; and believed to speak most boldly the true senti- ments of the American people. Hence its position on the Cuba question has given rise to sundry fears in the minds of those who yet strongly insist that Cuba should be Spuin’s Cuba for all tume to come. One of these gentlemen, an American, and strongly suspected of being indirectly interested in Spanish bonds, called upon us yesterday toexhibita “New Yoru Hzratp, containing villanous articles on Cuba.” With alarm pictured on his countenance, he nervously took 8 seat, read the article to us, and then remarked that it was said Bennett had more power than General Pierce, because he could force the government to do certain things. “Do you think these things are correct?”’ he inquired; and before we had time to reply, continued, “I wouldn't believe any thing in the paper, nor do I want to believe this, yet there is something curious about the paper, and more than all, its statements, alarming when first made, generally come true.” While reading the paper doubtingly, he could not fail to recognise the force of its arguments, to feel the power of its position. Now, it is necessary that the people of the United States should better understand the true feelings of | the people of England on this question of Cuba being annexed to the United States. And as no one will accuse us of ever haying countenanced General Lo- _pez’s movements, or of entertaining filibustering sentiments, we may be considered a disinterested witness, In the first place, Spain has long been a dead weight to England, who, for the sake of maintaining a family compact, has fought her battles, propped up her tottering crown, and assumed to make it vir- tuous, while maintaining the most dissolute person on the throne. Loving cousins—distant kindred— have proved a heavy burden on the backs of the English people, whose blood and treasure have been wasted for her protection; and yet it would seem that as favors and forbearance toward her increased, so did her dissoluteness, her ingratitude; her arro- gance. The government of Great Britain, in pleas ing complaisance to its sovereign, has not deigned to count the cost, but lavished the resources of the country to maintain a licentious cousin upon a for- eign throne; and these very cousins—these family associations which it has so pleased the government of England to fight for—have every year sunk weepee and deeper into the mire of national degra- | dation—the very nation England, throngh its blood | and treasure, declared they should rule. Now, what is the result of this? It is that England, so far a3 the annexation of Cuba to the United States is con- cerned, is divided into three distinct interests. The fpremment of England, in its no less loyal than im- cile flattery of its sovereign, would, in ita endea- vors to serve the crown, continue to sacrifice the best interests of the people, for the purpose of main- taining this tottering, effete and licentious govern- ment. This is king-craft—drawing the means of sustaining its relationship from the pockets of the people. [t must serve personal ambition—it must sustain the ties of a family compact, though that very compact has for centuries cursed andl oppmsees the people of Europe; and the people must pay for it. Here lies the first, which is an opposing interest. The second is thatof a class of feet bond hold- ers, who, having access to the ear of the government, continue to press their claims as a reason Way the government should ae erve a policy that will pre- vent Cuba falling into the hands of the United States. This element is working at the bottom of all the bey ater to the United States taking pos- session of Cuba, and is Be oat by the Barings and Rothschilds. Mr.Johua Bates has openly de- clared that, in hismind, a more infamous act would not be found in political history than that of the United States imposing her present enormous de- mands on Spain. It must, however, be remembered that Mr. Bates is only a money politician, who sees the national honor of a great country through pounds and premiums. He is the friend ‘and asso- ciate of Lord John Russell; and from his political | scale of pounds, shillings and pence Lord John | frames his policy on the Cuba question. These are the oppoging interests, and upon which is dictated that policy which will yet straggle to maintain what is strangely called the independence of Spain. ,, But how is it with the third and greatest, interest, the people’s? They speak from disinterested mo- | tives—they have no family ambition at stake——no | cousin compacta to be maintained—no bonds to bind | their political faith to the premiums. They say, no; | let the United States take Cuba—the sooner the bet- | ter. What have we not done for Spain? And how has she repaid it? Our English abstract love for the Spanish crown has proved a costly commodity. Eng- lish virtue and Spanish vice have been Totally | blended for a bad purpose. But England bas always had to pay for maintaining Spanish prerogative. English taxes have been ground out of the people to protect Span- | ish dignity, and Spanish digoity has repaid it | by disgracing itself. Spanish nobility is become a | footed mass—Spanish honor is only ‘another name for Spanish cupidity. The Spanish government is without patriotism; and, through the perldy of | its ministers, is reduced to an intricate scheme of | peculation. These are the sentiments of disinteres- d English people; we hear them spoken wherever | we fo. They say: show us a declaration that Spain | has kept—show us a pledge she has not violated | almost as soon as the gave it—show us a treaty she | has en Scpergy In a word, show us that she is wor- thy of being continued in the category of nations at the expense of others. No! they say, she has vio- lated all claim to the respect of honorable states- men, and charity for her is only charity for her crimes. Has she not insulted our citizens from time totime? And when our amiable government— (amiable toward Spain in consideration of the fa- mily ties to be_maintained)--did make a quasi re- | Monstrance, did not Spain first assert her arrogance and then plead her inability to make compensation, | like a pauper lord, when pressed by his tradesmen | for the small amount of a tailor’s bill. | And jet, notwithstanding all this, many persons profess pity for Sj | We ought to in—poor, weak Spain—a nation lavish our sympathy upon—once so powerful, now so distracted and diseased. It is strange how few of these people, when professin; | sympathy for poor Spain, ever think of those mil- lions of wretched beings who have suffered under her oppression; and how seldom we hear anything said about the weight of her oppression being the cause of her downfall. Her sovereigns have vicla- ted every principle of constitutional government; they have wrested from the people the last resources of sustaining their liberty, of remaining patriots to the country, of sustaining its national character. And yet fav profess to pity poor Spain, (weak object of our amiable and chivalrous sympathy.) while with mounted arrogance she looks with con- ried be her deliverers. Is not this vir- | tually aiding and abetting that very vice—that | very open licentiousness by which she has degraded | herself and broken faith ‘with every nation with | which she has treated? Now, there is no nation toward which so much forbearance has been exer- cised as Spain, and none that has repaid it with | such ingratitude. As she has declined in the scale | of national independence, so has her arrogance in- | creased. England has submitted to this arrogance —she has tained a Spanish crown at the sacri- fice of her Mapes has permitted Spain (in return for tl jndness) to insult her subjecta, to cok upon them with ae contempt, and to refuse them a burial place on Spanish ground, except at | low,water mark, where the reeking taints of the de- filed English boo (the body made to bleed and die | for Spain) would wash into the sea. John Bull is a strange pack horse, a curious animal, that, when his sovereign has family ties at one end of a for ign government and bonds at the other, will! stand an amazing deal of buffeting before he makes a show of resistance. But it is the government working at the bottom of these things. With these gl hee inconsistencies before them the people of England have become heartily sick of the cost of Froteeene, Spanish cupidity. hey seo Spain, in spite of all their efforts, declining lower and lower in national degradation; they see her breaking pledges, violating faith; ge Lreiel | flaunting her arrogance, aud, in the most unsera- ulous manner, trying to shield herself from respon- sibility. Viewing these things caimly, is it to be wondered that the English people have become wearied of them? We yw we speak the senti- ments of seven-tentha of the people here who take any interest in the matter, when we say they hail with joy the fact that there is one nation yet jealous of its honors, not disgraced by family ties; a nation not bound to effete kingdoms by crowned heads and bonds, the government of which can be forced to presse its citizens, to put down the arrogance of aughty sovereigns, and, while teaching them how to their true position, make them feel that they cannot presume upon the sympathy existing for them, nor through it prac- tice their impositions upon the citizens of other States. And that country, they say, is the United States. ‘‘ America will stand no nonsense,” has be- come ® much used phrase with the people here; | and they would hail with joy the day when she car- ried out the sentiment, by teaching Spain the re- spect due her citizens. Mr. Cobden, ‘acliament, a few weeks ago, gave expression feelings of the English people on the Cuba question. Since that time he bas publicly and privately declared the sooner America took possession of ‘the island the better for England and all concerned. We were | in e web government for the proteg- him a few nights ago, when he | 4 auy sliauce be cudvered into on | known fact that can always get an inkling of its secret movements. Now and then they get into the papers; but nobody knows how, or who is the divulging party. In the affairs of Cuba, it is well known in certain circles that the British ernment has consented to be- come the nurse and protector of Spain andita very valuable Queen of the Antilles; and that a conven- tion been drawn up having for its object the emancipation of the slaves as an ultimate resource of protection. We care not how soon the negroes of Cuba are emancipated; but, for heaven’s sake, let us have no double dealing about it. The principal movers in this scheme, (we have our authority 1rom an undoubted source,) are Py. Lords John Russell and Clarendon. And, too, it is well understoed | that this plan has been sanctioned by the Queen, and submitted to Louis Napoleon, who is eaid to have given his assent to its propositions, as well as intimated his readiness to act in unison with Eng- land to protect the possessions of Spain against the aggressions of the United States. These move- ments on the part of ministers became known to members of Parliament, one of whom madea motion that the correspondence be laid on the table of the honse. How was this met by the government ? and what inference are we to draw from it? Lord John Ruseell admitted Sevg iad linen: some correspon- dence on the subject Between Spain and the British overnment; but, although he regretted the misun- lerstanding between Spain and the United States, he thought it would not be advisable, at that stage of the negotiations, to lay the correspontence on the table. He however conclud by saying the last despatches received indicated an amicable set- tlement of the difficulty. If these despatcles con- tained such favorable indications, what objection could there be to laying them on the table? Lord John, in suggesting that it were better not to di- vulge tle nature of the negotiations, disclosed the fact of the government fearing they would com- promise them in the eyes of the people. When- ever government displays such a scrupulous regard for the secrecy of its plans, you may rest assured’ they contain something of doubtful character at the bottom. But this is not the only instance in which Lord John Russell has risen from his seat in Parliament to evade certain questions requiring a direct answer ; nor, indeed, with all his tact, and while struggling to shield his policy, found himself making statements (perhaps unconsciously) at variance with the facts. It is scarcely two months since an hon. member put a question to him on the subject of imprisoning rea- men in South Carolina, and, although: his Lordship was in possession of the facts, his answer to the question was quite the reverse. If Lord John Rus- sell—England’s greatest tactician—will jump the truth on one question, he certainly will not scraple on enother, especially when driven to the wall, as he evidently with Spain. The very quivocation sufficieutly dis- closed the truth Lord John struggled to suppress. Our international questions drag on, without an; nearer prospect of settlement. “Giarendon has his hands quite full enough of the war, and cannot be supposed to have time for consulting with Mr. Bu- chanan on such paltry things as the tishing, Central American, and other questions of minor importance. One thing at a time is a well under with English diplomatists, and my Lord Clarendon is just the man to adhere to it. Mr. Buchanan has been unremitting in his endeavors, to complete an arrangement by which the vexations fishing ques- tion might be settled, but to no purpose. Per! ap if come Lord Sterling were to take possession of the banks of New Foundland, by virtue of his grant from King James, my Lord Clarendon (the amiable foreign secretary) “would be made to feel the importance of settling this question at an early day. While the Duke of Cuyandotte (it was a matter of doubt with some whether he was a New York or Virginia Duke) did us the honor of sojourning amon; us for a tew weeks, for the purpose of advising Queen Victoria on American affairs, acting as a mediator between Mr. Buchanan and the Forel; Office, making it known to all England what an honest set of fellows we Americans were, how much we detested priva- teering, and pledging the whole United States—gov- ernment and all, with General Pierce thrown in--to feel and Mates with the Western Powers in their struggle eee the Russian oppressor, Lord Clarendon could find time to enjoy the Duke’s _bril- liant conversation over the festive board. Tho Duke had his Lordsbip’s ear then; and his Lordship lis- tened with great concern to his advice on State af- fairs, and certain changes at Washinton. Had he employed this time in Stee Mr. Buchanan on the straight-forward business of the two countries, and the questions pending between them, how much better it would have been for the interests of both. ‘The disinterested Duke would have saved his aristo- cratic tom foolery, and Lord Clarendon would have been epared the trouble of listening to advice on American affairs, as harmless as it was amiably giv- en. This, however, may be excused on the ground that it transpired, (by means of certain articles which appeared in the Hrratp, and which made it inconveniently warm at times, for the generous Duke,) Brevenate the qualities of the Duke being disclosed, and certain lords and ladies turning up their high-blooded noses when they learned that the Duke expected soou to become an extensive coal and iron monger. i Considerable has been said about Mr. Buchanan's opinions on the Nebraska bill. Itmay be condensed into a yery few sentences, as_given to a friend :—I do not see what earthly good it can do the South if it passes. And had [been consulted upon it pre- vious to its being introduced, I should have advised against the Gallet of introducing anything that would, by any possibility, give rise t» discussion on the subject of slavery, aud, by so doirg, disturb the peace of North and South without renc ring good to either; yet, were Tin the Senate, now that the bill is introduced, and making so much trouble, I should vote for it. At the same time, I_ am opposed to in- troducing anything that will embitter the feelings of onesection of the country inst the other.” These sentiments Mr. B. has fully expressed to those who have conversed with him on the oe LO.

A Gentle Fall for a Disgraced Diplomatist—Lonis Nepoleon Among the Rose Buds— Moves on the Po- litical Chess Board—France “ Taking the Initia tive” after her Old Fushion—Silistria— The Aber- deen Ministry Shaking in the Wind-Notions of the French Ministry Regarding their New Companions in Arms—Death of Giraud the Well Sinker— Distress of the Jews in Palestine—Visit of their Majesties to the Theatre Francais, §c. General Baraguay d’Hilliers was yesterday closet- ed with the Emperor at St. Cloud for more than two hours. The most determined eaves-dropper, unless his auscultatory power was proof against those strong party-walls which separate the Imperial cab- inet from ears and eyes profane, could not have picked up a word. Nor was much to be gleaned from the countenance of the late Ambassador at Constantinople, as almost immediately after the interview he called fot his carriage. Napoleon himself was soon afterwards seen placidly handling some of the rose buds in the gardens of St. Cloud, which are specially set apart for his private use; and on the Empress joining him with her large garden bonnet, he talked and ehatted with her for half an hour, with more than usual animation. Baragnay d’Hilliers is to be created a Marshal; he is to command the camp at Boulogne, where, in the neighborhood of Limereux, 12,000 men of all arms are already located with sappers and miners, busily superintending the workmen of the neighbor- hood,who have orders to construct a thousand clay huts covered with straw. The recalled Ambassador re- turns to France with drums beating and colors flying. A bridge of gold is thrown over for his passage. His imperial master hints disappointment or disap- proval by neither word or look; but Baraguay d’Hil- liers will never more be an ambassador of Napoleon. He will have posts where full scope and opportunity will be afforded to his characteristic zeal, his known honesty, but where his powers of discretion will, most assuredly, be greatly limited. “He is ax impenetrable aa death—the foga of the Evxine are sunshine to him,” was his animated reply to e question nominally put regarding the Emperor's instructions for the projected camp at Boulogne; but the remark, coming so quickly after his recent conference respecting Constantinople, has not un- reasonably been supposed to apply to other matters. In France the peonte of every rade, from the Fau bourg St. Germain wo the haniieue of the hurablest provincial town, are gradaally, more and more, iden- was in the case of a secret convention | maxim | H 4 £ nhs ih 5 i . ef 2, f ‘25 SRESERE = 7s eee £ E 3 Fe a ae ij 2 G a8 gEE es E i led as imminent. In 1828, after a siege of more than sixty days, the Russians were obliged to | retire; and in ; 829 then cia not get possession of it until forty-four day wr the trenches were opened. According to the last accounts the regular works of eppmects had only just begun. In the last war Silistria was only defended by a fortified wall, whereas since that period four age detached forts have been added to the defences of the place. In 1828 and 1829 the garrison of Silistria was only com- posed of from 8,000 to 10,000 irregular soldiers, while row it has 20,000 regular troops. All these reasons must tend to dnepire a belief that the place cannot be on the point of being taken; but the for- tune of arms and the chances of war are so great, that in such a case, more perhaps than in any other, reliance can alone be placed au fuits accomplis.” Omer Pacha is now said to be hastening to its succor. We hear, too, of Austria sending a peremp- tory message to St. Petersburg to evacuate the Danubian Provinces; and that, at Denmark, a coup d'état has occurred. What next? Events are evident, gathering themselves into a state of compression, the force of which it seems impossible for Russia to escape. She is undergoing a system of blockade, the circle of which is hourly drawing closer around her. But the other day inis- tress of the Baltic, her sovereignty extending to the Sound and even beyond it, Prussia, Denmark and Sweden were at her feet. At present the gulf of Bothnia itself is closed against her; every vessel which bears her flag is captured; the gailf of Riga is blockaded; the forts of Finland are destroyei, aud Dibourg, which is ey eighteen miles from St. Pe- tersburg, expects a blockade. It is probable that a crisis is at hand. The state of the English ministry is regarded hore with some erie or [should say, perhaps, with interested curiosity, as it is not likely that any change would affect the foreign policy. Bat it is clear that ihe Aberdeen ministry does not work smoothly. ‘These continual checks do it infinite damage on this side of the channel, whatever may be the effect on the other, and various changes are anticipated. The concentration of the execu- tive one id, as now in France, gives it enormous advantage over the present complex machinery of England. The British military ménage, also, is liable to the army of England into ccntempt in the eyes is true, been very imperfectly informed of the de- tails of the last war; generally speaking, the notion is, that somehow or other, the French army was al ways victorious though French policy might not always be successful. Waterloo was simply a case of all Europe combined to overthrow France. Not- withstanding, however, certain pardonable deiusions under a sort of Russign press, the Frenchman has always had, au fond, great respect for the British soldier. Side by side with him, he has never scru- pled to say, all Europe must be simply a baaket of china, which the French and Saguh may kick over and smash at their leisure. Now however, re- flections by no means complimentary to his ancicnt rival are occasionally heard. What! he says, are these the famdts men of renown of whom so much has been said? Officers, whose knowledge of a soldier’s science seems limited to the points of a horse or the cast of a cricket ball ; men who fill the new: ers at home with whimpers about their tea, and beer, and blankets; and who, while the Fiench soldier is withont hose to his feet—who,in fact, maintains he is better without it—catch cold if they have not lamb’s wool socks; and wko, moreover, are so buttoned up and buckled, shaven and shorn, stocked and stretched, that they cannot march un- der urms one mile, where a Frenchman would run two. An insight of this kind behind the scenes, and into the interior of the British army, may, when the sleeping rivalries of the present day awake from their temporary bed of down, be attended with con- sequences little foreseen. cor Giraud, the well sinker, whose mi- raculous emancipation from a living tomb, of nineteen days, ten of which he was buried under the putrid carcass of his dead companion, \otwithstanding the favorable symptoms which e ted themselves at first, falien a victim to his cruel sufferings. His body, after a short time, be- came a mass of purulent sores, and his whole con- stitution indicated marks of incurable disease. He was buried yesterday at the Hospital chapel at rane, followed to his grave by military officers high in rank, and councillors of State, which the extraordinary circumstances of his fate had attract- ed. The benevolent interest shown towards him by the Empress has identified her in some measure with him, and the terrible disaster which befel him, will, in future. days, never be alluded to with- out honorable mention ofher. He was only twenty- eight years of age. The crowd of persons at his funeral was more than the church could accommo- date. In consequence of the great distress among the Jews in Palestine, M. Rothschild has just remitied, by one of his employés, a sum of fifty thousand francs, and American citizens have forwarded like- wiee to their co-religionists 300,000 franca. It is announced that meetings with a view to further subscriptions will held in London. At Cherbourg the Queen of England’s birthday has been kept wi eat ceremony by the English Consul. The Maritime Prefect, who was present at the banquet iven on the occasion, proposed her Majesty's health, adding—May our banners for the repose of the world always remain, as they are now, cordially united.” From Madrid private letters speak of the state of hice with great despondency. forced loan is to take effect at a time when the heart of the Feople is thoroughly disgasted, when the military are disaffected, and when an indignant enemy is ready to pour his thousands in at her very ates. If the present European conflagration con- jinue but another year, Spain will be, perhaps, numbered with the countries that have been.

(Memorandum.} Since the commencement of the war between the Sublime Porte and the Cowt of Russia, Austria has assumed towards Servia an attitude which, whilst it leaves to that power an expectant character, at the eame time was of a nature to make it master of the action of Servia. According as Austria thought that the Servian government was more or leas dis- posed towards Russia or Turkey, she held a lan- guage conformable to those supposed sentiments, and constantly promised assistance for the defence of the frontiers of the Principality against any hos- tile aggression. By mcans of this policy, advocated principally by the repreeentative of Austria at Belgrade, in 80 con- stant and undevinting a manner that it did not fail to attract the attention of the representatives of the other Powers in the Principality, Aust: \s thought her- self already in the possession of the unlimited confl- dence of the Servian government, and, either with the motive of giving more weight to her policy,and to aseure the success of her tendencies, or to be ena- bled to give more weight to her assurances to one or the other of the great European Powers, the Cabi- net of Vienna has recently ordered a consider: abie concentration of troops ou the ntiers of Servia. The government of the Principality, justly moved by these military demonstrations, provoked by no act on the fom of Servia, and not justified by the state of affairs in that country, more peaceful and reassuring than ever, nor by the relations of Servia with the Sublime Porte, ani has endeavored to ascertain directly from the Court of Vienna, and indirectly from the Sublime Porte,the object and the signification of these military move- mente of Austria. These endeavors have not resulted in enlighten- ing us apon the situation fn which it was endea- vored to place us. Whilst tre more or less official organs of the Cabinet of Vienna declared that Aus- tria did nothing, and intended to do nothing, as re- ards Servia, without the pre liminary consent of the sovereign court, the Sub‘ime Porte on the other hend replied to the Ka nou-Kehaya of Servia that Austria left her in the doe to ad ia of the military preparations in question, and that no agree- ment, ae eaten’, had been concerted between the two Powers on the subject. The representatives of France and Englond at nob Leen uble wo give us any ry aesnrances on the subject, In the in- With which they honored the Kapou-Kyiua- satisfac terviews the French. They have, it | the Powers its allies, | er. The conduct of Austria, as qpessicn of the present war, ha assume , & tun more favorable fo the intentions of Western Powers, the cabinets of Paris and of we to the Servian government, through the om of their agents at Belgrade, satisfactory assurances on subject of the ns of Austria. Nearly at the same time the Vienna Cabi- net informed the Servian government that the mili- | be? Beco in question meant nothing hostile | to Bervia; that the only object Austria had in view in ordering them was to protect her own frontiers, | and that she would not intervene in Servia, uniess | Russian troops entered it, or unless a rising took | place there against the legitimate authorities; that | consequently, even in that case, she would only in- | tervene as a friend, and to give assistance to the | Sovernment and to the legitimate authorities. This step of Austria, whilst it designated the eases in which that power proposed to intervene in { fondo was not of a nature to diseipate all our anxiety. First, we di? not find in it an: ntee against | an arbiti intervention, undertaken renee oeeine tive and without real necessity, and abounding in danger and sad Cfunentes) consequences for Servia. Secondly, we discovered therein an isolated action of Austria, which under the pretext of accomplish- | ing an act of ion in the general policy of | Europe, and in support of the Ottoman Empire, created for itself the means of invading Servia, and of producing in that agente y its unjust and ae yressive conduct, that very di ler, those same disturbances, and that same desolation which it is pasties the interest of the Ottoman Empire and of ts ullies, to prevent, aud to avoid which the Ser- vian government and the nation are ready to,devote all their energ‘es. In presence of such serious eventualities, and con- tinuing to receive from Constantinople news en- tirely contradictory to this avowed object of Aus- tria; moreover, beholding the preparations made by Austria assume a more threatening character, and arrive ata point that may be at any moment put into execution, the Servian government, with the sanction of his Excellency, Izzet Pacha, came to the iesolution of taking active steps at Vienna and at Constantinople to ascertain clearly what was really the care, and to protest (ensister ou de droit) against any combination whieh would place in the hands of | Austria the destinies of Servia. This was the object of the mission of Aziz Pasha to Vienna. This person is now at Scnstantinog®s; and was called upon to give to the government of his Majesty the Sultan a report of his doings at Vienna. Awaiting the diplomatic solution of this question, the government of the Principality, perfectly se- | conded by bis Excellency Izzet Pacha, has ordered allthe necessary measures for the defence of the country against any hostile attack. At the point at which we have arrived, it is neces- sary to know whether Austria will succeed in ob- taining from the Sublime Porte its sanction for an unjust measure, prejudicial to so many interests, which are shared in common, and are oqua!!y | to the Principslity and tothe empire « forms a part. As regards an interver the sanction of the Porte, there is litt un der actual circumstances, of Austria ug fore ward two reasons which might sanct » military intervention in Servia:—1. The entrar. of the Rus- sians. 2. A rising in Servia. First, if the Russians enter Servia, the co-opera- tion of Austria against Russia would have to enter into the ensemble of the measures which the Powers allies of the Porte are called upon to adopt for the defence of the Ottoman Empire, and which it is not for us to determinate. _It is little probable that the case of the entrance of the Russians into Servia will present itself, if the assurances of Baron de Meyen- dorff are to be trusted, which he made to Count Buol, He is said to have declared that Russia had no in- tention of entering Servia; which is the more readi- ly to be admitted as the theatre of war aud the line of operations for the Russian troops are already too extended to think of extending them further. But even admitting that the Russians should attempt to enter Servia, which would be no easy task, idering the opposition they would have to en- forces, we cau boldly affirm that the entrance of the Austrians into Servia would be in case a very unfortunate measure (une mésure extrémement mal- heureuse), and which might give rise to a host of complications. Any auxiliary forces whatever would be preti le Lo those of Austria, The Servian na- tion entertains so grea a mistrust, not to say a pro- nounced haired of Austria, that the entrance of the Austrians into Servia would be immediately consid- ered by all so great a Ganger that the whole action of the Servians would be turned againstthe Austrian troops; ail the energy of the nation would be em- ployed against these exemies, in whom is beheld the personification of that grasping ambition which urges on Austric to endeavor to exercise in Servia, no matter under what patronage, an egotistical in- fluence. In the same measure as the concurrence of Austria might be serviceable to the cause of the Sublime Porte, if given at a proper and convenient Spportunity, in the same measure it might create difficulties and complications, if, in despite of all that is known, it is exercised in Servia. Secondly, as regards an internal insurrection it is less to be feared now than ever. The whole nation is perfectly convinced that its most precious inte- rests command the wnaintenance of tranquillity and ool lead it to war or make Servia a battle field. Full of profound gratitude towards the sovereign court for the privileges which have been so gracious- y confirmed to them, and for the attitude which they ‘have been allowed to maintain re this war, the government and the people of Servi are too well aware of their own interests, and too much attached to the welfare of their country to hesitate one moment on the line of conduct to follow. The consciousness of their position pre- seives them better than avy threats from any fulae or hurtful measure. Moreover, since the war commenced, has not Servia sufficiently proved thet she knows how, and is resolved, to remain faithful to her duties and obligations? Despite of all that may have been said, she has never ceased to follow a line of conduct, modest it is true, but loyal and conformable to her engagements. She will not deviate from this conduct. The Sublime Porte may be fully convioced of this. All that the Ser- vian government demands is to be honored at pre- sent with the confidence of the sovereign court which it has accorded to it hitherto, and not to see its country given up to Austrian occupation, which would be the signal and the commencement of in- calculable catastrophes. On this condition the Servion government makes itself perfectly responsi- bre for tranquillity and public order in Seryia. If even isoleted disturbancee—possible at all times and under ail circumstances--should take place any- where, the government is capable of totally sappress- ing them before auy importance could be attached totham. The Kapoa-Kehaya of Servia has at various times conversed with his Highness Reschid Pacha on this affair, ond although he has already had the honor of submitting to his Highness most of the reascns and considerations here exposed, which, Without that, could not have escaped the sagacity of the Sublime Porte, and which makes us hope that in no care the sovereign court will grant to Austria a faculty, the very demand of which ought to ren- der it suspicious, the Servian government has, nevertheless, thought it its duty to bring to the en- dightened attention of his Highness the Minister of Foreign Affairs a circumstantial memorandum on this serious affair, the decision of which tonches so many questions as egsential to the honor, the dig- nity, and interests of the Sublime Porte, as to the peace and happiness of the Servian nation, Belgrade, April 5-17, 1854. Trade of France. . The Paris Débats, of May 24, makes the following remarks on the commercial returns :— When we compare the commercial results of the present year with those of the preceding one, there I ‘a consideration which mnat never be lost sight of ; it is, that the year 1 although less favored than the preceding one, wi nevertheless, of almost en- tire prosperity. If, then, we find the present resulta put little inferior on the whole to those of last year, ihat means evidently that the situation has not hitherto lost its normal and regular character ; and that in epite of the uncertainties of foreign policy, mer appears serionsly compromised in the move- ment of our international transactions. Now what say | the tables, published yesterday in the Moni- | teur, by the administration of customs and | indirect’ taxes? They make known that the | amount of duties levied in April on foreign goods brought into consumption amounted to 11,095,0008.; whilst in April, 1863, it was 11,428,000f The | diminution is, our readers will see, almost insignifi- cant, and it will appear still smaller if the compari- son be made on the first four months united, which felded 41,211,000f. to 41,339,000f. The diminution is not & percent. These figures, it is true, refer only to imports. As to exports, we have no ele- ments which permit us to appreciate the collective value of them, which is to be regretted; but as ex- | ports and imports are generally co-relative, and de- | pendent one on the other, and as one constantly fol- | lows the finctuations of the other, we may say that | our foreign commerce is still at the present moment, | or at least was on the 30th April, nearly at the level | at which it was last year, This will relieve us fom | entering into details of figures, which, in addition to the ennui from which unfortunately they are in- separable, would only reproduce nearly the same | Tucts ws those Of last moni, We viererure Wadus onrvelves to saying that the sole textile matters which present a marked declige in impcrts are cotton eSous wines ana , the up rather high, have lost a good articles general]; However, it — 3 not many articles of export exhibit symptoms of decline; and our entyepdts contain enormons quanti- ties of cotton, wool, lead, cast iron, colonial and other in matters.

The long expected revolution bas at last broke out. Until this time I have always been @ disbe - liever in regard to the revolutions of this country; but the facts have converted me. On the 8thof this Month a party of about 200 mea from Hondaras, under the command of Srs. Don José Guorrero- Valle, Xerez, Francisco Dias, Mateo Pineda and Francizco Castellon, landed at Realejo. They took Realejo and Chinendega, and defeated the government troops, which retired to the ca- pital, Leon. The President, Freto Chamorro, got all hia forces up and started from Mar to Leon, with the in- tention to attack the revolutionary party. With the garrison of that place andthe troops he brought | with him, his force amounted to aboat 500 to 600 men. He marched with them, on the 13th, to a small place caJled El Poso, between Chinendega and Leon, where he encountered the enemy. In the first attack the President was personaily at the head of his troops, and met with an accident that had very serions consequences to his canse. His horse fell, and his troops, believing him shot, lost. their courage; some ran away, and ail the Leon soldiers turned round and went over to the revolu- tianary party. The resident, with a few men, to fight his way back, and got, two days after, to Managua, aS he was intormed that i the capital, had pronounced inst him. On his arrival at Managua, on the 15th, he found that that place had also declared egainst |the govern- ment, and he had to retire to Granada. During that time the steamer Cortez arrived at San Juan de} Sur, and bad to go up to Realejo for coal. Rumors were about that the revolutionary arty bad left a force at Realejo, to come down by e steamer to attack the department of Rivas. The authorities of this place sent to Sen Juan a force of about 180 meu, under the command of Col. Montie!, to pre tthe steamer against an: agerestious. They went uy and came dowa witbou' having avy encounter whutever. ‘The smaji steamer on tie ake went up to Grana- da on the Sth, on business of the U.S. Legation; and the aut es of that place wrote a very pe- remptory letter to the agent of the Accessory Tran- sit Company, to be ready with his steamer at six o'clock in the morning of the ¥th, which letter was delivered to the agents at seven o'clock on the 9th. At the same time the authorities seized the amall boat of the steamer and took tife sailors, American and natives, up to the cuarte!. The agent, of course, refused to give the use of the steamer, as he was under no obligation to do it nuch less as it was asked in such a peremptory and ur civil way. In the jurisdiction of Rivas, neat the Transit road, most all the people, men, women and chil- | dren, have left, and fled to the neighboring pro- vince of Guanacoste, and token all their moveable property with them. Rivas and its neighboring villages are entirely deserted, and it would hardly be possible to find a person to give a man @ glass of water. Nearly all the soldiers that were pressed into service have run away or been dismissed, and the garrison has been reduced to thirty or forty soldiers. All the authorities, judges, mayors and aldermen, have left. Rivas, in fact, has been en; d for the last three years in the transit business, and people do not mix up in politics. They know well that all the revolutions bring no change of policy, but only a eons of officers, xnd they are heartily tired of it ey say. Bloce the year 1524, Nicaragua and whole Central America have been independent, but have alw. been suffering by continual revolutions, which o1 Wave decreased their population and property. is to be foreseen that unter-revolution must ne- ceesarily break out again, no matter what part; gains the victory now—so that there is a dep prospect for the future. There is no doubt that this is trae—just aa true as the anxious decire of the people, that some great paver might put an eud to all party Sighting and ake the government from them, Though they have a great deal of the Spanish character 5 speaking highly of their “nationality,” yet the educated clase of people, and principally those living near the Isthyaus which have been somewhat “ Ameriean- rit ized,” are convinced not only of the advan iso a being governed by 2 great government, but the necessity of putting anend to the revolationy which never will cease until some great power govt erns them, The Accessory Transit Compeny escaped some der lays for want of mules for the transportation of pas sengers and bagence, only by the activity of the contractors, who have spared neither work no; money to raise the necessary animals. Every thing hes been sent on with the usual despatch, and therr will be no fear for any disturbances in these quar ters, as this department is now accustomed to wort on the Transit and not in polities. They have in formed the government that they are unable eithe to assist thein nor to resist any invasion that migh be made by the hte be arty. On the twenticth, the revol cttonaty party entere: Masaya and got ready to attack Granada. As a) things in this country done by natives go a aloy “poco tiempo” uhh they did not get ready until th twenty-sixth, which gave sufficient chance to th President to prepare Granada inst an attach Barricades were erected and fortified, half-2-dozé six pounders were stationed on the principal point and,about 1,000 men under arms expected the enem: said to he about 1,500 men strong. There hasbee hard fighting done for two days, and with gre: loss on both sides. The revolutionary party got int the town from oue side, and have burnt down som seven or eight houses, some of them belonging ‘ foreigners. The house ot the Prussian Consul, thoagh he he his flag hoisted up, was ransacked and burnt uy also the house of Solari, an Italian, the princip commercial house in Ni I have no positive news as to the number deaths, but a courier just arrived brought the nev that late last night the President himself made ¢ attack on the enemy, drove them out of one quart of the town, and took one canuon and two wagons ammunition. 3 ‘The steamer leaves.
