Our gentlemen of the Royal Exchange are disposed to be rather excited about the visit which the King of Swe- dea’a son has just been paying to the French man- of-war, the “Austerliz,”” in the Baltic, and which the Moniteur announced on Tuesday last, as if, after | bis refuaal to have anything to do with the Aland !

In spite, therefore, of the refasal of Austria to consider the Czar's refusal to the four conditions a casus bells, the gen: eral opinion seems to be that she must, after this, depart from her system éf neutrality, and gradually coalesce with the Western Powers. | Every one is pleased with the perusal of the cor- respondence of Mr. Bashanan and Lord Clarendon, ‘in respeot to the Greytown business, and to perceive that there is no chance of the present good feeling being interrupted between the two countries. Mr. Buchanan is greatly respected here, as a most able, upright, high minded representative, and some of his remarks on the subje:t of privateering are | thought to display no less accuracy than originality. i can only again and again attest, from my own ex: agtoo er, that the British feeling towards America that of the most profound respect and admiration; d I believe that any ministry which, upon trivial grounds, should pick a quarrel with the United States, would be dgnominsoualy, ousted by the unan- imous voice of England.

Let it be remembered that journals, high as their chara>ter may be, by no meana at all times speak the public mind of Britain—they often, on contrary, make great mistakes in attempting to Yead public opinion and rouse the public votce against them. Such was the case when the great Poor Law bill was passed; but the Times, after months of vituperation, was obliged to give up, baving made nothing by ita action. Such waa the case when its furious articles were levelled at Napo- Yeon the Third; and such is often the case when it chooses to talk of America. At the same time, Americace sbould understand that Englisnmen are entitied to their amour propre as well as themselves, | and that if they wish to mingle nay in society, it is better to know that their “ conatitation” is the best in the world, than continually, in season and | out of season, to be holding it up to tre disparage- | ment of other forms of government.

Tone 't know that he is one bit worse than the grocer, the haberdasher, tailor, &c.; but we can, if we think fit, bake at home; other things are not quite so easy.

Never, surely, in a civilized state, was journalism so utterly devo'd of interest, and barren ; and ite frequent checks in the discustion of politics have so thoroughly broken the old spirit, and cowed it, that even on subjecta where it wou'd be perfectly ssfe—op ground entirely neutral—it is become passicniess and tame, Thus the inquirer must boldly plunge into the living vortex, and buffet bis way as he best can amid the rush and conflict by which he is surrounded. It is not to be denied, I hear it then said, that the presences of the Prince Consort of England, with those kingly constellations of smaller maguitude,gsuch as Bel” gium and Portugal, is » striking recogoition of the ex” traordinaty influence and present power of France—it is a tangible proof of her diplomatic elevation—and it looks and counds like the fall of chains, which the disasters of former years have thrown around her. It is impossible not to see in it the triumph of a people’s will over the right divine—as exemplified in a Bonaparte and a Bour- bon—and though we groan under the force and pressure of an internal screw, which holds us down like chiliren in leacing strings—which does not suffer us to compare thought with thought, nor permits us to mingle in that glorious fray of opinion from which isaues, ever fresh and unscathed, the great principle of civil and re- now. ledge, that ‘every day we externally lift up our head’ higher among the nations of the world. ‘Hope deferred maketh the heart sick ;’ and changes and revolutions. and disappointment in her public men, France iscertainly not the sama she was sixty yeara ago.

Pargon the subject of metallic cure of the cholera. This physician produces the evi- dence of a Swedish physician of grest eminence, Dr. Liedbeck, of Stockholm, as to the benefit to be derived from a metailic chain, which consists of 100 small plates of brass and steel on a caoutchouc band. The application of this chain is said to have caused the most violent cramps to ceaee, and the consequent cure of the patient. When the chain was not at hand—aud as ir. Burg is,the invent. or of it, this seems a candid communication—cop- per raucepans and brass candlesticks have been applied to the pit of the stomach often with success; and fur- ther, in support of this theory, the doctor states that a few days ago he received a letter from MM. Cail & © engine and machine makers at Grenoble, in which they in: n him that during the late epidemic only two deaths ¢ occurred among 1,200 men employed in the manu. and that one’ of these had no symptoms of while the other was employed in their carpen- fact cho! ter al In the work shops, too, where brass and cop. | per "sare made, there was no fatal case, and | scarcely any indisposition. | A Madrid letter in the Press, in giving an a count of the number of French resiieats in that copital, states there were among them twenty six | litical refugees belonging to the educated and | intelligent poriona of socisty, and all of them | republicans; but thathaving convinced themselves that the elements of republicanism had notuing to do with | the late Spaniah revolutiom, and that they could not mani- | fest themselves with any chances of success, they ab- | stained from taking any part in the movement. The | Patric, ice the contrary, ascribes the revolution chiedly | an agitation got up foreign demagogues.

A feeling of great irritation seems to prevail, thet an ambassador should in any degree think it consistent with his mission to preze any opinion at all on the internal com notions o- eountry to which he is deputed. But indeed § toolong been a champ de dataille for the diplomacy of both France and England, for either ef these countries willingly to concede to the influence of another power, and that power one who is supposed to havea new world of its own to attend to, and therefore little or no business with its more elde ly neighbor. Mr. Soulé is said to belong toa class of peculiarly uaserupuloas’ pol. public ticians; to te overbearing in his insvincte, and private, and to be ready at once to throw into the revolutionary cauldron all the mingled daring, subtelty, invention, recklessness and, finesse of the countr: which he owes his birth.

Turgot lost no time in communicating with Biarritz and Loid Howden in starting off to knglind. As soon as the chaos of revolution began to assume shape and form, in the persons of Expartero and O’Donzel!, then ambassa- dors basteted to surround them.

Mr. Sou!é has the credit of being a person of considers. ble abilities; but, whether it be too intense an anxiaty of succeeding in a pre-determined object, or t :at he des- pises the suaviter in modo, while practicing his national subtlety, it is certain that never, in so short a career, | did any ambassador of late years contrive so completely to embroil himself with all parties as he bas done. De- tested by the representatives of all other goveraments at Macrid—abandoned by the Queen-mother—feared by the daughter—abjured alike by moderado and puritan— mace use of by the progressistas, and suspected, more or less, by all, Mr. Soule found himself, at the moment of the revolution, independent of everybody. He plunged at once into its thickest depths; he ate, drank, and al. wost sept with the Marquis of Albaida—the great ad- vocate of the republican party,—identified himself with the very dregs of political opinion, and sondeicended to the lowest arts, the most unambassadorial manosuvres, to create out of the filth of the streets a red republican interest which shall smother and crush every ovher arty. » There weré citizens of the United States resident at Madrid who did not scruple to tell Mr. Soulé that he was adopting & course at variance with the poticy of his country, and with that self respect which is essential to that smerican character which it was the pride of Wash- ington to create. “Regarding,” said that great “the overthrow of Europe at large as a matter no’ tirely chimerical, it will be owe prudence to cultivi spirit of self defence, to organize all our resource: to endeavor, by unanimity, viellanoe; and exertion, der the blessings of Providence, to hold the scales of our destiny in our own bande.

Mr. Soulé is, there ‘ore, in France.

Arrival of Marshal Baraguay dHilliers—Disappoin’s meni of the French at the Ineffective Character of the Baltic Operations—1he Chronicle's Account of the Royal Dinner at Boulogne—A London Penny a-Liner amongst the Guests—Feeling of Exasperation Caused by the Con duct of Mr. Boulé. Marshal Baraguay d’ Hilliers arrived in Paria last night, and immediately took the chemin de fer for Boulogne, there to join the Emperor, who had previously left or- | ders that he should do so. This officer may be said at present to be the only re- markable impersonation of the Eastern question which the existing political crisis has developed. Up to the latest intelligence the harvest of laurels has been of the scantiest; and the few who have greatly dared to ascend the steep and craggy path of perilous renown—such 38 Parker, Butler, Burke, and others—have lain in the dust those gallant heads which should bave worn the wreath oftriumph, The great admirals both of the Black Sea and the Baltic can scarcely be said to have inacrib dtheir names for anything they have yet done in the golden book of fame; but Marshal Baraguay d’Ailliers, the Em peror’s chotea man, seems to be under the beniga in fluence of the star of Napoleon. Appointed Am \asaado: to Constantinople, he was recalled at a moment when no glory was to be gained, and when he might have been held responsible for casualties that have since foll» sed.

The transports had returned to Varna to fetch the reserve. . { Notwithstanding the characteristic ¢aution with which doubt of the fact exists in official quarters, where the news had excited the mostexuberant joy. The Emperor, who, with the Empress, arrived yesterday evening at the ‘Tuileries, at once declared, in the presenee of a number of officials collected at the palace to welcome them, that he believed it implicitly. Letters previously received from Marshal St. Arnaud, written on board the Ville de Paris, and dated theSth, had informed the Miniater of War that all preparations by the French fleet were ter- minated, that the weather was superb, aud that the wind, blowing from the northwest, was a most favor- able augury for the disembarkation; and other communi- cations from Varna, dated the 7th inst , announce th? tact of two French squadrons having sailed on the morn’ ing of the Sth; that the English and Turkish squadrons followed on he 6th, and that up to the 7th the same beautiful weather, calm sea and favorable wind continued. I can bardly describe to you the gui vire which the receipt of this intelligence has excite in Paria. As the Moniteur is less generally taken than journals which, frcm their non-official position ere able to give a greater scope to their sources of information, the ordinary news venders only supply themselves with a limited number of copies, and the consequence is they have been unable this morning to meet a fourth of their demands. Thos parties, therefore, who are kuown to be regular aubscri- bers, have been obliged to undergo a perfect siege of ap- plications fcr merely a peep at the ‘Vienna Telegraphic Dispatch ;”’ and your correspondent in particular has had serious thoughts of having it pasted outside his door posts, in order to rescue his bellwire from destruction. I bave just returned from the Bourse, where every tongae seemed to me to be simultaneously in motion, and where the effect on the funds was evidently most jfavorabie. All sorts of speculations are of course afloat as to what conduct the Russians are about to pursue—whe. ther they will burn, take, or otherwise destroy towns, villages, and crops—whether, having laid | waste the country, filled up the wells, and stricken | the whole peninsula with the curse of desolation, they will fall back upon some strong interior position, such as Butchi-Saoni and Simpheropol, or whether, relying upon their superiority ia numbers and weight of cavalry and fielé guns, they will attempt to draw the invading forces away from Sebastopol. But as it is quite possible my next communication to the Heralp may containa solu- tion of these problematic speculations, by the receipt of further intelligence, it will be a saving of your valuable space not to pursue the inquiry any further for the pre- sent. Letters whieh Ihave seen, describing the embarka- tion, are graphic in the highest degree. The magnifi. | cent display of the mercantile marine, with sailing ships varying from 7 to 1,600 tons burthen—the gigantic | steamers, the Himalaya, Simla, Jaton, and Victoria, each | laden with dragoons—the different regiments of Turks, marching down to their transports, trying for their very | lives to keep step tothe music of a French band, and making all sorts of ludicrous mistakes—the gallant di- vision of Sir de Lacey Evans, who formerly commanded the British Legion in the Spanish war of succession, and in the days of the old war led three forlorn hopes, march- ing gaily to their ships, midst thundering chears, to the tune of “Nix my dolly pals, fake away’’—while far eye could see or ear hear, the wooded sea was one hive of human beings laboring, toiling, climbing, march. ing, boating, eating, ‘drinking, singing and to bamboozle the wits of any ordin: mainder of his mortal life—all seems to have presented one of those astonishing spectacles which no dereription can do justice to,imasmuch as their unique occurence de- prives the reader of any stan‘ard by which to measure or compare then. 4 suspicion prevails that the departure of Baraguay @’Bilbers with the French troops from the Baltic, has been intended rather to blind the enemy than as indica. tive of all having been concluded for the present season. Iv is remarked that the journals whohave spoken 60 diatinetly of Admiral Napier’s return are not usuatiy the best informed—that the departure of such « min from the axere of action while thers is a thread to haog by is totaily contrary to all his antecedents—that wita ble peculiar thirst for reaown, be must be atong and goaded to madness by what is now going on in the Black cea—and that of late, there have been curious infica- tions of gocd will on the part of Sweden, sach as royal visits to the Austerlitz, &c , followed up by corresponding invitations, which look as if something was yet to be done there, before all was told.

Matta, Sept 9, 1854. Visit of the St. Louis to Malia—Sketch of Captain Ingra- ham—Line of Steamers between the Mediterranean and the United States. Since leaving the United {tates Ihave designed writing to you some items of my peregrinations, but amid the confusion of London and Babel of ParisI have left it undone until now, midway of the blue Mediterranean, in the city of stars and strong island of Malta I address you. I find here that the all engrossing theme is war, and in my eonversation with the residents (English), it appears quite laughsble to me that they conside: the Russians, which, by Allison’s History, were the best troops in Europe in 18i2 snd 1818, are now (they say) far inferior to the Turks. So much for being their allies at one time, and enemies at another, I suppone. Every sort of rumor is afloat, and at thia time any news from the seat of war is eagerly believed. This harbor is quite crowded with shipping. War steamers frequently call in for coal and the letters for the fleet. A few days since I was gratified by seeing a Yankee man-of war arrive, and upon inquiry I found it ‘to be the tloop-of- war St Louis, commanded by Captain yograbam—the same who so gallantly, one year ago, dis- facto, what an American protection is, and ‘ver be corsidered. I have met several of the Officers of the ship, and had the ope of seeing Cap tain In, jand, by the bye, I was very much disap- pointed in personal appearance, after the many fice Pictures I have seen, purporting to be like him. He isa very deli:ate looking man, slightly bent, from age] sup, se, of which I should judge him 64 or 65. height 1 is about 6 feet 7 inches; complexion very sallow, with a@sbarp, acquiline nose; mouth slightly carved down- wards; fips thin and comy ; chin, and cheek bones’ very marked; his hair is well sprinkled witn gray, and he wears no teard whatever (though the officers gen - relly Wore them, from the second in command to the ju- niors, and it became them very much, I yoy whilt in conversation it is almost impossible to follow him, he & ticulates 90 rapidly; his eyes are devoid of much 'ex- pression, and his manners I do not think at all Mig So sessing 1 am told that be suffers very much from dys.

Some interesting revelations have mace by the Journal des Debats, one of the best conducted newspapers of France, concerning the course of polisy which, from the commencement of the Eastern difiiculty, guided the conduct of the Emperor Nicholas.

In 1850, whea the remembrance of the eminent services he had rendered him were fresh in hie reocllection, the strongest personal assurances of wotion were made to the Czar; and so lste as June, 5°, he received from the Emperor of Austria an auto- gyaph jetter, wherein he protested ‘that he would leave in the Czar’s hands all that it was necessary to do at Constantinodle; that he approved of it all beforenand, and that he would hold himeelf in readiness for all *’ In the case of the Emperor of Austria, bis youth and inexperience mast be sliowed to extenuste what, in a monarch of more mature age, could only be considered the grossest deception.

Visit of Two English War Steamers to Nanking —The New Religion of Thae-ping-wang—Its a’ Gross and Blasphemous Tendencies—Conditions on which the Europeans will be Allowed to Trade in Yan-tze-keang—Leaning of the United States and English Diplematists towards the Imperial- ists—Organization of the Custom House at Shanghae—The Back Duties Claimed by the Chi- nese Authorities. The English war steamer Rattler’ and Styx re- turned on the 7th inst. from their trip up the Yan- tze-keang to Nanking, whither they were deapatched. abont three weeks since, ostensibly for the purpose of getting coals for their large squadron, but really tosee what they could do with the rebels. ‘Their visit was not as satisfactory as the ene made bythe Americans. They corresponded a great deal with the rebels, and received full declarations of their opinions, religious and civil. The Eastern king, who represeuts the Holy Ghost, and the Weat- ern king, who represents Jesus Christ, are issuing, from time to time, new revelations from God and Jesus Christ, and some of the late ones are of so gross and blasphemous a character as to scarcely leave a hope that they can ever arrive at any condition which will not be worse for them- selves, and most injurious to our interests as a cons- mercial nation, From the English they claimed the same they did from us, viz.: if they would bring tribute and acknowledge Tae-ping-wang as the ruler of the universe, they might trade on the Yang-tae- keang, &c. This they lay down as the primary condi- tion of all or any intercourse whatever. Tous your readers may see that what was stated in a previous letter has been confirmed by this visit, and that our course is clear, either to give up our vast trade with China, or convince these orienta's, by Yankee argu- ments, that their pretensions are ridiculous, and that there are other countries besides China, and other rulers besides Taeping-wang. The quicker it is done the cheaper and better. That it must be done sooner or later, is as certain as that this present dynasty will be overthrown; and that, no one on the spot can doubt--not so much from the power of the insurgents as from the weakness of the imperial government. The American Minister went up to Quinsan some four weeks ago, to eee the Viceroy of these provin- ces.
