Mendizabel. So, when M. Bruk changed his position at Constantinopte for that at Vienna, the expectations entertaized of his political and finan- clal talents caused an improvement of brief duration to take place im the financial condition of Austria, Now, however, that the new Mendizabel of Austria stands before the world naked and unveiled, a great consternation prevails in the whole financial world. Whether matters will undergo a change, and assume ® more favorable appearance than that which they at present wear, remains yrt to be seen; many people think they will, The bank has not yet given in its decision as to the acceptance or rejection of the plan, but it is gene- rally believed that it will be received, and the experi- ment at least be tried. ‘The 4th of October being the Emperor's namen’s ag, was celebrated here with great festivilies, and it was generally believed that the text of the Concordat would appear in the columns of the Vienna Gazette. No such publication, however, took place, and it is bogianing to be whispered that the document in question will never the publicatall. Report states that the delay tributed to the opposition of the olergy, wh» consider the Coucordat to be of much too liberal a ten- dency. The main potat on which the difference of opinion is widerstood tp exist is the unfortunate question as to whether the Roman Catholic Church is to be con- alderes in the light of the ruling or ‘ domfnant” church, by which it is meant that other creeds are only allowed Dy pure toleration. ‘Thisds the view which is iemly up- by the great body of the Catholic clergy.

Peraons who think that the document in question will never be put in print support their opinion by reference to the measures respecting the Provincial constitntions which were promised some five yesrs ago, but have never yet been brought into action, Every ‘six months an outline of these constitutions is enid to be laid before the Emperor by the Hime Minister; the Emperor re fers it to the Council of State, where the matter lies buried for the resi of the year. ‘In the following year a Jetter from the Emperor is usually put forward urging the matter. The Council of State then makes a report, which is proposed to the Council of Ministers, where the ‘old and revived schomes lie buried agaia till some politi- cal movement on the Continent moves the goverumeut to exbibit again the ‘mysterious tool” to the people, on its oft trodden passage from one council to the other, This is all that is known up to the present time respecting these beasted provincial constitutions, which were pro- ied to be givan to the people, in exchange for the uui- versal constitution of which they were deprived in the year 1850; and many people think that the same will be ‘the case with the newly drawn up Concordat.

When everybody ts fnconvenienced, and it is agreeable for the publis to find something upon which to vent their dissatisfaction, the Birmingham Chamber ot Commerce and its imftators lift their heads, and multitudes are ready to be persuaded that the measure of Sir Robert Poel ix the caure ofall their sufiering. Happily the whole matter can be put into short compass. What is the groandwork of the act, and what is the system recommended in ite place? The doctrine of Sir Robert Peel simply was, that no currency could be considered perfecr which woul not, at all times and under all circumstances, maintain t seme intrinsic value, and it has never yet been shown how thir is to accomplished on any other principle than that which be established in 1844. At that period the paper cireulation of the country was nearly the samo as at preeent, and consisted partly in notes ofthe Bank of England, and portly ta those of joint-stock and private banks. Supposing this cirealation to be required solely for Loternal commerce, no necessity could exist for gold being held agoinat any portion of ft. A deposit of govern: tment stock, or the fact of its being receivable for datios, vould at all times keep it from fluctuatim in value Hut, as we require gold to meet balances of debt to for. nations at periods when our exports fully «ufticient to pay for our imports, weet tt loess of converting our circulation into this material, suk note professes to be good for a certain weight of Itison the payment of a certain weight gold colonia have some contract throughout the kinadom Is made If when the merchant wants this gold vend to his foreign correspondent, he atingent nds he can: nt chaore the noes in his possen goon they purport to. reptesant he i faa . * NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1855. cisely to the extent of their ¢afcieney. A) jomediate convertibility is therefore u neces-iLy by all exceot the few dreamers who find volce like the present, But it will be wail: * 1! that is the ease, the bank should hold gad agains’ + note in circulation, and as the paper now atioat in the country is £28,000,000, while the gold at the oank is only £11- 700,600, it is evident thst even vader our existing ays- tem the idea of perfect convertibility ix but a fiction.” Practleally, however, there is no fetivon in the case, and is capable of demonstration that, under no conceivable circumstances, so long as the act of 1844 isin operation, couldthe supply of gold at the dank fall short of the demand, To carry on the internal trade of the country a certain amount of currency is essential In proportion as the currency becomes contracted by the conversion of bauk notes into specie and the transmission of that speci« to foreign countries, the value of what is loft steudily increases. The vise in the rate of discount thus occasioned, causes universal econo: my to be practised, imports are countermanded, exports are stimulated, foreign balances are called in, and in a short time the exchanges turn in our fayor, ani gold flows back upon us. It is evident, therefore, that the amount of the cxrrency could never be reduced below a certain point witheut Epieces & pressure for auney which wonld not only infallibly check tho demand gold for tran» portation, but would turn the tide and cause it to be sent to us. The question arisss—what is that minimum poin't since, if we can ascéttain it, we then get the limit to which we may safely issue notes without the necesaitp of keeping gold against them. Ex- perience seemed to svow that £22,000,000 nught be takea as the total, ani this was adopted by sir Kovert Peel. ‘The Rank of England weve consequently allowed to cir- culate £14,000,600 based ov government security, and the provincial banks £6 000,000 om their own responsi- bility, eubfect to the condition, that in case of failure the privilege of issue should be witndrawn from them, This £22,0¢0,000 may therefore be regarded as the fixed internal ‘note circulstion of the country, while all be- ‘ond that must be represented by gold, and, conseqyeat- iy, be liable to fluctus!ions ip amount just ua the couree of trade may bring specie tous or take it away—these ey p écisely the same as would occur if circuluiion war metallic. A more simple systemor a clearer principle can- not be conceived. The next foquiry is, what ix proposed to be substituted by those who would weep it away? On this no halfdozen persons have ever been found to agree. It is exactly like the case of a, continental revolution. where there there is extraordi- nary unanimity whea the existing ruler is to be over- thrown. and nothing but anarchy when the new one is to be thought of, There appears a great amount of opposi- tion to the act, but probably, each among the thousands who denounce it would turn in its favor if he were told it was to be done sway with without his own peculfar crotchet being adopted in its place, There ia, therefore, no opposi:ion whatever that its supporters are called upon to meet, unless they can be expected to deal with each of there theori ts intro, instead of leaving them to contra- dict each other. Nevertheless, the mischief of the con- stant outery is euch that a re-discussion of the whole question in Parliament cannot be arranged too soon. We shall thea once more get upon record the reasons to be given for the various suggestions which, in the sence of examiaation, are idly accepted as omb: ing everything that is essential to prevent * enterprise”? trom being checked or unlimited expenditure from being followea by pecuniary derangement. We shall learn the motives which should prompt us, when gol: is leaving our shores on account of the rate for money being lower here thgn el-ewvere, to resort to an addi- tional issue, and thus increase the evil, The ques- tion, “Why should there not be free trade in money as in everything else?” will also receive its solution ag well ss toat concerning the nature of the peculiar call to suspend specie payments during war, while, at the same time, the axiom put forth this week by the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce, that but for the Australian discoveries the bill of sir Rebort Peel could never have worked, will be fally brought up for illustration. It will then appear, perhaps, that the supporters of that bill have notnecossarily auy objection to free trade in money; that they see no reason why the Legislature should interfere to prevent individuals or companies from issuing their promises to pay in an form, or to any extent to which the public may be will- ing to receive them; and that all that is absolutely con- tended {or is, that these notes should not be made a legul tender, and that if the government com- pel people to accept any set of notes as oui- valent to gold, the conver‘ibility of those notes at least shall’ be protected. by an unswerving law. In relation to the wac, it will be told why we should give the signal for a universal hoarding by decreeing a suspension of specie payments when the foreign imports, which alone derange the balance of our enue und expenditure, must be atill pail in gold, no matter to what contrivances we may resort, and why, if the use of the national credit be necessary, it should not be adopted in the legitimate form of post ‘notes, bearing interest, instead cf by compelling creditors to re sive their claims in paper aa discount. With regard to the effect of the Australian discoveries, it will be for the inge- nuity ofthe Birmingham Chamber to explain how the working of a law, the principle of which is merely to regu- Jate the relative distriontion of gold between this and other countries, coule have been in any way inflaenced by the quantity of that gold that might from. time to time be ta existence. Inasmuch as the fitness of gold for its func tions depends upon its re'ative soarcity, and if one half of the quantity existing in ihe world were swept away to- morrow, the remsining halt would then be equal in value to the whole, it will likewise be requi-ite for them, if they intend to intimate that our circulation has received any intrinsically valuable addition from these disco- prey to show the manner in which it has been brought about. That some moéifications of the measure, which inno way affect its principle, are open to debate, ix admitted. It bas been questioned, for instance, whether, in fixing the amount to be issued by the Bank on securities, the limit of £14,000, was not unnecessarily low, althoogh, supposing such to be the case, it is an error on the side of safety, and the fact anust be borne in mind that if it were raised to £16,000,000 or any other point considered within the verge of pru- dence, that verge once attained, the operation coutd never be repeated. Some defects have reasonably been cot plained of with regard to the periods within which the country bankers are compelled to keep the average of their issues; and, lastly. the government are open to se- rious reproach for not having filled up the deficiencies in the country circulation, amounting to £700,000, which have occurred since 1844 through the failure or retire- ment of individual banks. This, however, is a fault, not of the act, but of the several Chancellors of the Exche- quer who have neglected the special provision it contains for the purpose? ‘The circumstance of the act having been suspended in 1€47 jaan stgument used by those who are unable to show that it his any inherent defect. But its operation never was suspended. At the very moment it had ac- complished all that had been anticipated, and when a re- action had palpably commenced, the public were pro- mised that, in care of need, it should be set aside; but this was simply to allay a panic, in which the loss of self- session was such as had never before been witnessed in a rational community. Sir Robert Teel could foresee the natural operation of the act. but he could not foresee the insane terror which the misapprehension of its pos- sible consequences would occasion. That it was the terror of the act, and not its operation, that required to be peliisted, was shown by the fact that the moment this terror was removed every man found himself at ease. To deal with the public according to their irrationality it was necessary to suspend a ra- tional law, and the penalty has been, as was predicted, the growth of a belief that by getting ‘ape’ paris at aay time the government may be forced into a similar con- cession. Under such circumstances it has been natural- % asked whether it would not be better to abrogate the faw altogether, and to indulge the public with experi- ments until they shal) have satisfied themselves as +o what they will be prepared to maintain? General uncer- tainty is more fair for all parties than fixed lava, which are only fixedas long as there is no agitation to undo them. Let the act be set aside and one thing is inevita- ble, namely, that the amount of the circulation must thenceforth be left to the wisdom of the rument, er seme other individual body. In fact, the con- ferring a discretionary power ix what is clamored for, although it was the necessity for the abolition of this discretionary power that compelled Sir Robert Peel to legislate. Instead of leaving the fortunes of the community to be liable to peril from the caprices of indi- vidual judgment, he placed the corrency of the country upon a footing to be wubjected to no influences but the natural ones of supply and demand, so an to enable every trader who would take the trouble ‘to observe the course of the exchanges to exercise a discretionary power for himself, and not to look for it helplessly in official quar- ters. It will be for the eople, through their representa- tives in the next session of Parliament, to decide whether the responsibility shrown upcn them from thts condition of jom is more than they can bear, and, if they should answer in the affirmative, to select the functionaries, cither at Downing street or at the Bank, that for the future have the control of their fortunes and be re- sponsible for the prevention or mitigation of all financial troubler.

This proceeding will, we doubt not, call forth from a large portion of the Ameri- can press that species of mild and temperate comment in which they delight whenever the conduct of England is in question, and a little political capital is tobe manu- factured by making her the object of invective and de- reciation. We siall be told, no doubt, of the fiendish atred of Fngland to republican America, and of the in- solent menace behind which she veils her insidious and treacherous de-igus. Without the slightest wish to reflect in sny way on the press which allows itself to be made the vehicle of such siatements, or upon the constituencies whose votes are found to be influenced by such calum- nies, we wish to point out to the good sense and modera- tion'of the American people the causes which have led us, even in time of war, tc increase our squadron in thelr seas, and may possibly lead us still further in a direction tis rat steps towards which we are-now most unwilling- aking. 7 We entceat, then, the American public to believe, not- withstanding the assertions to the contrary with which they are so assiduously plied, that there is no party or body of men in this country that regards them with any other fecling than that of the utmost good will, or would wish for them any other fate than the enjoy- ment of the utmost publi: freedom which is consistent with the utmost private liberty and security. We have neither the wish nor the right to intrude our opinion on thet form of government which has been es. tablished in the United states; but we have, and we claim the rigut, to take every reasonable precaution against that spirit of unbriv ed ficense which the present government of the United States seems inclined to tolerate. At this moment North America is in pro- found’ peace with the whole world, yet it is not the less true that in her por's are fitting out at this moment pirntical filibustering —_ expeditions, destined to carry war and bloodshed into the dominions of an unoffending neighbor. These expe- Gitions do not receive the sanction of the American gov- ernment, are not equipped by its funds, will not be con- ducted by its officers— bu: their preparation is neverthe- less well known to the President and his administration, and receives no check from that quarter, ‘This toleration, we are willing to suppose, proceeds from weakness mere- ed for vigorous action, only that the power to act is utterly wanting.

It is because we see no hope of finding in the United States a government capable of preventing its citizens from waging pri- vate war on their own account against the best friends and truest allies of the great republic, that we are most unwillingly compelled, even in the midst of the great European struggle in which we are engsged, to assume a defensive attitude, in order to trample out the first sparks of this fire, and prevent @ conflagra- tion which, if once allowed to spread may cause incalcu- lable misery to the human race. It is the misfortune of the American republic that she contains within her bor- ders so many desperate and lawless men; it is still more her misfortune that she does not possess an organiza- tion sufficiently powerfal to crush these cri-uinal. at tempts. That which she cannot do we are compelled, at least so far as the lawless enterprises directed against ourselves go, to do for her. We cannot wait patiently till these’ lawless smissaries of insurrec- tion and plunder have set their feet within Her Majesty’s dominions, and encountered there the resistance which is eure to overwhelm their wild and desperate schemes. We cannot wait till we are placed in the terrible dilem- ma sf either sparing men to whom clemency is cruelt, the human race of which they are the enemies, or of in- fiicting a just punishment, which may be the means of inflam’ ig against us the passions of the American people and lea ne to a disastrous and fratricidal war. We will, if it be possible, prevent the that otherwise it would be our duty most se. yerely to punish, and this do in the name an in the hope of peace.

England has every wisn and every interest to remaid at peace with Americh, The immense trade which we carry on with her, ‘the community of language and of blood, the absence of any ground of dispute op subject of rival- ry, all plead forcibly in the same direc’ How stran; that under such circumstances we should be driven arm merely because it is ‘the will of a portion of the sovereign people to make war upon us, unsup- ported and unapproved, but also neither prevented nor arrested by the government! We desire above all things a continuance of peace, but if it be the determination of any large portion of the people of the United States to force war w ‘us, we shall know how to meet it and re. ie it, without relaxing for an instant our grii roat of the reeling and Monon Copa of the forth. But is it for the credit of those Institutions, so of- ten vaunted as all that is wire, perfect and liberal on the face of the earth, that a friendly and kindred nation, ar- dently deriring peace, should feel {teelf compelied to stand on the defensive, not because it has any serious dispute with the government of this freo and ha munity, but because that goverment "le “un- willing or unable to prevent” ita citizens from forth to murder and to plunder in. the minions of an unoffending ally? Are these the gar- lanes with which the tree of freedom ougbt to be adorned —are these the laurels with which the temples of the goddess should be bound? England has some claim to be called the nursing mother of freedom: and her citizens are free because they know how to obey—how to subor- dinate their individual wills to that law the su ofwhich consitutes the princifal distinetion of a efvillasd community. The Rupture with America. From the Ltverpeol Times, Oct. 27.] ‘The Brit! oot gone were ax much startled as the people of the United States will be by the appearance of an anticle in the leading journal of Thursday, relative to a misunderstanding between this country and the Aine!i- can Union. The article to which we refer will bo fownd in another part of our impression, and al- thovgh we must admit that tho tone of the writing in the journal referred to ls for the most part unexcoption- able, still this intemperate diatribe bas been very gene- rally condemned, and certainly has met with no response on this side of the water. Thie, a a test of publie opin- ion in England, is conclusive, and the commercial world were put in possession for the first time, throngh the medium in question, of the fact that the governments of thetwo countries were not on terms as friendly as for- merly. ‘The Earl of Ellesmere, in a lecture which he delivered the other evening on the subject of the Russian war to the perecns in bis own immediate neighborhood, made a remarkable statement—remarkabie, certainly, when token in connection with the inflated and bellicos spirit of the article in the Times, announcing that the Prstich goverpment bad lar reinforced the West Indin Squadron, in order to check the filibuster- ing expeditions of the t portions of American society. “If you were to ark mo,” said his lordeti “which was the most warlike nation in the world, I shoul say the United States of America. They have many thoa sand miles of frontier, and they have next to no army at all; but they have a large population, accustomed to the 2 = use of arma. and >eady to volunteer in any military ex- pedition, When the ‘invasion of Mexica wis projected, which wos rather a bnccaneering sort of an expedition the government sdvertises for men, and an army of 20,000 were fortherming in » fortnight, This is what T call a worllke nation.” Lord kilesmere has rather under than overstated the care, tor wehave heard or read that ia the cl'y of New York sone 5,000 volunteers were earviled in ing! and at least twice that namber were re- Jrcted—the strongest proof of the correctness of the de- duetion a which be rived, ‘To address, thea, to thi- inflammable people such language us the Times uses in reference to the misinderstanding betweea the two counteies, can have no other object than to precivitate hostidies, and produce the very calamities which the writer proferses to deplore. See, tor instance, how a de- siretor perce can be in-ultingly conveyed :— “We desire above all things,” says the firet leader in the Times of Thursday, ‘a continuance of peaoe; but if it be the determination of any large portion of the people of the United States to force war upon us, we shall know how to meet it and repel {t, without relaxing for an in- stant our gripe on the throat of the 1 ling and tottering ant of the North.’ pis may appear striking, but in our judgment it is very fools eeiing, Jost tibet kind ot © jocia in indulge, There is no which the fillhbusters themsel' ange portion” of the th ws—a determination on the part of apy “ people of the Union to pick a quarrel contrary. All the men of Property ‘and porition in the country, all the classes which have the greatest nftuenice om public opinion, would deeply regret a upture with and, and nothing short of national dishonor, or national insult, would induce them to countenance it; but it must be clear to every cool and re“ective man that thia defiant atyle is the most ef- ectual method of neutralising the moral influence of the classes to which we refer, of strengthening, in the ame proportion, all the loafers and filibusters who are anxious for mischief Of course it will be inferred, on the other side of the Atlantic, that tho article of whith we speak has been inspired by the government. Such an impression would be decidedly erroneous. The journal in which it appears is almost invaria- bly antagonistic to the government, and although scraps of gossip appear occasiovally in its }, which have evidently been filtered through Dow: street, the Times, rejoicing in its strength, is above wearing the ministerial livery, and often exhioita its appreciation of suoh favors by belaboring the Cabinet. Lord Palmerston, ifthe truth were known, would be delighted to see the wer of the Timcs crippled, and we can readily conceive iat his mortification was extreme when he read this article in ita pages. If the American public will regard the production which has forth these semarks as a clever and spicy newspaper article, which appeared in an organ long proverbial for its literary power and impetuosity, but with which we will venture to say the executive bad no more to do than the American Minister himself, they will tae it for what is worth--for anything they like, except the deliberately expressed opinion of the British Cabinet and people. But while we make this extenuation, we must at the same time admit that there are facts in the articleso for- cibly put Ibat the sincerest republican in the Union would be the first to admit their truth. Undoubtedly, as the Times states, “It is the misfortune of the Ame- rican republic that she contains within her bor. ders so many desperate snd lawless men.’’ There are few States in Europe or elsewhere with a tithe of the pulation of the Union which do not con- tain ‘“ desperate and lawless’? fellows, always on the leok out for confusion, in the hope of enriching theme¢lves at the expense of their neighbors; and the Auiericans probably do not felicitate themselves on their ES morality ond the rest of the world, But Times is not Justitied in charging the Federal government with being ‘in collusion with filibusters and de-peradoes in order to attack ond) despol! a neighboring State, which its reasoning in substance amvunts to. We call for evi- dence to substantiate the charge, and we can see no evi- dence adduced. Marshal Pelissiex’s Order of the Day. ‘The following order of the day was addressed by Mar- shal Pelissier to the troops after the cavulry affair of Koughil :— Sorpie—We haye another success to register. A cor of Rustian cavalry has just been completely defeated in the plains of Fupateria, ‘The husars and the dragoons of Gen, d’Allonville were able at length to come in contact with the enemy on the £9th September, near the village of Koughil. Supported by the Ottoman corps of Aumet Mvcbir-Pacha, General d’Allonville, with the 4th hussars and the 6th and 7th dragoons, advanced on the division of Hulans of General Korff, and attacked them with the sabre with tho greatest valor, abred in their very ranks, harrassed in their retreat for more than two hours, the enemy’s squadrons fled in all directions, lesving in our hands six pieces of artillery, 12 ammunition wag- gons, 169 prisoner» and 250 horses.’ Thie brilliant com- dat, on which I congratulate General Allonville, reflects the'highest honor on the 4th Regiment of Hugmars, on the 6th wnd 7th Dragoons, on the Armand battery of horse artillery. as well as on Gencrata Walsin, Estechag; and de Chamyeron, It is fine feat of arms’ of which am happy to have to render an account to the Emperor, and which worthily inaugurates s new series of ope: rations. : The Danish Sound Dues Question. (From the London Mercantile Gazette, Oct. 26) ‘The question of the Danish Sound Dues ts now fairly before the public, and all that can be said for or against their continuance should be #poken at once. ‘The envoys of all foreign Powers interested in the matter or to meet next month at Copenbogen, and then and there definiti- vely dispose of it. In anticipation of this Congress, the Cabinet of Denmark bave issued a memorandum suggest- ing a basis upon which it is stated a satisfactory, arran- gement may be arrivedist for putting an end to the tolls, without infringing on the rights of tho Danish crown. ‘This bans Is to capitalise the Pues—each State paying over to Denmark a certain sum, in proportion to the du- ty now levied on its navigation by the exaction of the tolls. In other words, the more any country has had reason to complain of the impediments thrown by Den- mark in the way of its commerce. the greater is the amount of compensation it will be expected to contri- bute. ‘The memorandum to which wo are referring states, “that Leomark herself would be disposed to have a revi- sion of the tariff, but neither America nor the other Pow- ers would be satisfied with that.” Certaizly not. Neither will ‘the other Powers be con- tent that © the question sould be treated, not as an affair of trade or money, but purely in a political light.”” The exaction of the Souné Dues uot an affair of trade and money! Whg that is exactly what the whole matter amounts to. In what way trade ix to be relieved of these dues, is the first question to be asked— by what amount Denmark is to be compensated for their loss, is the second. There is another very important money question also which must come ore the Congress, and that is—whether Deomark has any right whatever, by concession or pres:ription, to in- fist upon, the Dues at all, or whether the abrogation of the Treaties existing between other States and herself does net relieve such States from any future payment of the Tolls? Should the Congress decide that Denmark has no right to exact the Dues, that country will find that the ron-payment of the ums #he may have expected for their capitalization is a verious “ money affuir’” to her. Instead of regarding the question in a political view, and thus, as the Danish Note states, “impressing upon the negotiation the character and impulse to which it is entitled,” we would suggest that it should be treated simply as one affecting the interest of the Comme-ce and Navigation of the world, Bither Denmark ia entitled to levy the tolls, or she is not. If she ia not, there fs an end of thematter, and she must be content with the black mail has has already levied. Ifon the other hand, she ean make out any right to demand the tolla, then her right must be compromised, in which case the only question is (oe how much How much can Denmark afford to take’— how much can we afford to give? Surely this is an af- fair of trade und money—pounds, shillings and pence. ‘There is more in this ‘political light,” which Denmark suggests ix to illumine the Copenhagen Congress, than that State would probably eare to be explained. Denmark must think very poorly of her cause in desir- ing to see it jed rather in a political thana comme: cial light. particularly when the main question, as far the is affected, is one of money. We hope that England, France, and the United States will not be led into any German political refinements in ascertaining the exist- ence of Denmark’s rights, or in bringing about the abso- Inte and complete abolition ofthe tolls. As to waiting, as some of the American papers have suggested, until the erent war is at anend, before any determination is lefinitively arrived at relative to the tolis, we trust that such az absurdity will not be oountenancéd. Denmark's ght can be just ax calmly reviewed during the contiau- ance of the war as at its close; and since the question i« fairly opened now, let it be settled. Although the Congress at Co is fixed for No- vember, we have not yet heard the name of the Envoy our government to appoint. We would, however, earnestly impress upon Lord Clarendon the importance of selecting an able representative for the office, since the ‘ition of the ‘ish Sound, and the werian Dues, are by the Maratime world as most Intolerable remnants of those anclent ex- to which commerce and navigation were for- ‘The English Envoy shoule be ex- prersly eas that Bk at oat aaa to any revision bs Bas abolition 9 the dues; that he © the Copenhagen Congheas citatly tindérstahd that Englan will no longer permit Denmark, or any other country, to impede the free navi- gation of her ships, and subject her commerce to exac- tions; and that, whatever the issue of the deliberations at by gre ae may be, this country will never again re- new the treaty now ext isting, but will, upon its termina tion, at onoe élalm and insist upon the Baltic, like every other sea, being opan to her fiag. In arriving at an impartial conclusion as to the rights of Denmark, the Representatives assembled at Copenha- gen thould not be influenced by any personai considera- tion towards what may be termed * seconday interests.” Denmark has for the last century been an impoverished State, and large sums of money have been advanced to her by private capitalists and speculators. Many large banking houses, not only in England, but in Germany and the Ir States, Fave doubtless an interest in the pay- ment of the Sound Dues, and the amount of capitalisa- tion that Denmark may be able to secure, It is already reported that “two members of the English Parlia- ment, Sir Watkin Wynn and Sir Fitzroy Kelly, have come direct from London to Copenhagen with the view of as- tiations between Denmark ja on the other, respecting the D These two gentlemen, it is further #tated,have been cept by agreat London bapking house deeply into- rested in the loans for which Denmark has pledged, way of security, the Produce of the Sound Duce. This report may or may not be true, and we merrly refer to Tt with the object of putting the Co- penbagen Representatives on their guard against a multitude of private, personal and political rep e- sentations to Which they will be subjected. Den- mark may not be entitled to one shilling of compensation for the lors of the Sound Dues, What, then, are the creditors of that State to do? They have depended on there dues as their security, and if these dues are abolished they are surely entitled to claim some guar- antee in lieu of them. “We should feel obliged to Sir Fitzrey Kelly to inform us upon what grounds they ean claim spything of the bind. They have advaveed their money ai ao large interest upon questionable security, and they must not complain if the risk, which has hitherto augmented their profits, should in the issue con- tribute to therr lose. certaining the state of the on the one hand, and Pru z Whatever may be the consideration given to elaims of uite the: ! this mature we trust that the reat questions to be deci. ded will not be lost «ight of.

Our merchantmen, ike those of the United States, have had enough of auch oppressive and useless interference with the free navign- tion of the Baltic, and will no lovger succumb to it. The ships of Great Britain, after all country has done and sacrificed to encourage the freedom of the seas and the enfranchisement of commerce, should at any rate be free of such a paltry passing toll us that embodied in the sound dues. AMERICAN GEOGRAPHICAL AND Statisricat Soctery.—The egular monthly meeting of this ass>ciation was held last cyening in the New York University. The audience, though not large, was respectable, and much interest was manifested in the proceedings. During the absence of the Premdent, the Vice-President, Mr. Henry Grinnell, took the chair; M. Dudley Bean, Esq., officiating as secre- ary. A very handsome donation, consisting of eighty. ve volumes of Annual Reports of the Statistica of New York, its institutions, &c., was received from Mr. E. W. eavenworth, Secretary cf State of New York. The thanks of the society were voted to Mr. Leavenworth, af. ter which Mr. William W. Fosdick reads paper on the “Rivers of the Earth,’ as one of the primary causes lead- ing to the civilization of countries. He commenced by speaking of the early civilization of the race having been produced by the necessities of msn, and the endeavor to supply those necessities by the labor of his hands and the creative genius of his intellect. Commerce was one of the great agents which he employed, and commerce was dependent ‘upon ‘the navigable rivers by which every continent ant ory country is watered. To these Asia was indebted for her greatness in the past; to these is Europe, where art has reached its highest perfection, in- debted for her civilization; and to these is our own favor- ed land indebted for her growing greatness and her pre- sent position as one of the first commercial nations of the world. Mr. F. spoke of the rivers of China, India and Fgypt as among the finest in the world for the beauty and magnificence of their scenery, and concluded with a glowing description of the greet Tivers which belong to our continent. A vote of inks was presented to Mr. Fosdick, and a copy of his paper requested for the use of the society, after which the meeting adjourned, ‘The'papers state that a convention of husbands is to be called shortly at Syracuse, New York, to adopt some measures in regard to fashion.” They say that since they have to support the expenses of fashion, they have @ right to regulateiits caprices. It is also anid that a pro- position to raise boys only, in futare, is to come before the convention. The members are to resolve themselvos into a husbands’ rights party.
