His Majesty ror some time showed much emotion, and spoke of his father, his childhood, and of the calmer times when he had own M. Seebach. In speaking of his father, tears ran down his cheeks. But recovering himself, with a dignity truly imperial, he observed, “ Bat we have to speal of more serious matters. Ah! you are not come thoping to weaken me?’ The Emperor then ex- pressed himself with great clearness upon the rea- ons which rendered the establishment of peace de- sirable, but also upon his duties as the sovereign of (Russia, and the difficulties and exigencies of the si- tuatio: “My nobleese,” said he, “are not pre- pared to bow the head.

Mr. Clegg, of Manchester, wasin Naples, endeavor- ing to organise an extensive growth of cotton by free r, partly with a commercial and partly with an anti-slave view. A letter from Naples, in the London News, says :— ‘The Two Sicilies Lire ia every respsot, be admirably adapted for the cultiva'ion of cotton. The average rental of land is not bigh, and of randy, ewampy geoand, suited to the object.proposed, very low; of such land too, there is a vast quantity lying almost waste on the shores of the Adria ic, from to Brindisi, and between’ Torre dell Anun: nd Casteliamare, and other parts. Cot- ton, too, ia actually grown both in Silly and oh the Continent, #o that the experiment would not be new, and it bad entirely succeeded. In Sicily about 2,000,000 lon. are grown annually, half of which is exported to Naples, and the other halt is consumed in the isiand. In the oon- tinental part of the kingdom about 2,200,000 Ibs. are own aud consumed, while 800,000 lbs. are imported ‘New Orleans. The annual produce of the kingdom is therefore at out 4,200,000 lbs., while tne anmusl con- sumption ia about 5,000 000 ibs. In proaf of tho yet reater capabilities of the country, a letter from a Sici- fit merctant, now before me, rays :-—-Notwithstandi the great consumption it wouid not be difficul’ to expo s quantity of cotton. This report, therefore, founded on facta, is eminently encouraging to the project of Mc. C'egg; and all thatis wanting is a little capital anda Hee enterpriso—just what the Neapolitans have not. Central American Affairs in Europe—Tho Olay ton-Bulwer ‘Treaty and Gen. Walker's ‘From the London Times, Jan. 22.) ‘At length we have received the correspondence referred to in the message of the President of the United States, with regard to the dispute between England and America on the Central American question. The documents are exceedingly volu- minous, but we can, in a very few sentences, give our readers an account of the real matter in dispute between the two countries. Great Britain is pos- cessed of a settlement at Belize, on the const of Central America, the right to occupy which, for certain purposes, was conceded to her by Spain in the treaty of 1783, reserving, however, to the crown of Spain full and undiminished so- vereignty over the district. Great Britain has also possessed for many years the right of pro- tection over the Mosquito Indians—a barbarous race that wanders at will over the coast of a con- siderable portion of Central America. Great Bri- tain had occupied the fine island of Ruatan, laced in a commanding situation in the Bay of jonduras. This was the state of things in 1350, when the attention of both governments was drawn, by the discovery and rapidly increasing wealth of of California, to the growing importance of the road across the isthmus which led to to that golden roots Hence resulted the treaty between Great Britain and the United States, nego- tiated between Mr. Clayton and Sir Henry Bulwer in April, 1850, the first article of which declares— “That the United States and Great Britain agree that neither will occupy, or fortify, or colonize, or assume, or exercise any dominion over Nica- Tagua, Costa Rica, the Mosquitto Coast or any part of Central America. Nor will either make use of any protection which either affords, or may afford, or any alliance which either has, or may have, to or with any State or people, for the puree of occu- ying, fortifying, or colonizing Nicaragua, Costa ica, the Mosquito coast, or any oad of Central America, or of serine or exercising dominion over the same.” Notwithstanding this treaty the British government still retain pommeation of Ruatan, still occupy Belize, and still retain the protectorate over the Mosquito Indians. It is not disputed that all these places are within Central America. The overnment of the United States waive any claim to the evacuation of Belize, but insist upon our aban- doning the protection of the Mosquito Indians and the po: ion of Ruatan Island. And now our readers are as fully in posseasion of the real merits of the controversy as if they had waded through those twelve columns of very closely printed matter into which the rival governments have found it pos sible to condense their remarks, and may by tl own firesides decide the controversy for themselves. It is doing the American Minister and his govern- ment only justice to say that they urge their claim with great moderation of tone and temperance of language, appealing only to reason, and disearding all ‘oples ‘of an expting ait irritating nature. On the part of ape it ia treaty waa never intended GH oes iting rights, but only to such interests as might arise by any tatare acquisition of Great Britain. The American nister,on the other hand, contends that the words or the ita are clearly large enough to include Ruatan and the Moaquito protectorate, and that the intention of the treaty is to be manera from its own language, and not from any collateral writings or circumstances. -We do not intend to offer any opinion on the subject, but we may remark that it was a most extraordinary omission of the English plenipotentiary, while using words so wide and comprehensive, not to have saved, byan express proviso, the existing interests of Great Britain, if such had been his intention, and it is not wonderful that the Americans, when re- nouncing all right of interference in Central America, should have expected a similar con- cession from Great Britain. Without, . how- ever, offering an opinion on the interpretation of the treaty—in our point of view, a matter of very secondary importance—we may presume to offer a few words of advice to the government and the nation, The matter in dispute is ludicrously disproportioned to the dimensions of the interests engaged init. Here are two of the greatest nations of the world, possessing between them the greatest share of its maritime commerce, approaching to the very verge of a quarrel about matters to an or- dinary Lo re of the most extreme insignifi- cance. hat possible advantage can England de- rive from the protectorate of the Mosquito territory, or the seizure of the island Ruatan, for of her rights over Belize, paltry as they are, there is no question? It is, no doubt, a very glorious ping to carry off his Mosquito Majesty to Jamaica, and then, after he has recovered the effects of his three or four days’ devotion to the celebrated rum of that island, to stuff his sable limbs into a Sanne uniform, to crown him with a cocked hat, to annoint him with palm oil out of a calabash, to puta sugar cane as a sceptre in his hand, and to send him back to his naked subjects with all the solemnities that can wait on protected royalty; but surély even this gra- tification, and that of occupying the island of Rua- tan, may be bought too dear. All the advantage that we could hope to obtain from these dubious and ill-defined rights over remote and unhealthy dis- tricts is, that by being first in the field we may event the Americans from anticipating us in ob- ‘aining exclusive possession of the transit over the Isthmus of Darien. That nothing of the kind will he attempted we have the guarantee of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, the provisions of which the American government has evinced no inclination to a ae and any future infraction of which we possess both the right and the pore to prevent. Once secure on this point, we Ln it leave the care of the morals of the, Mosquito Indians to themselves, and restore the island of Ruatan to its primitive deeolation, without any perseptible diminution of the power or prestige of the British monarchy. In the meantime, by adhering tenaciously to these bar- ren and worthless rights, we are running some risk of forfeiting the very objects to secure which we re- tain them. America is never wanting in a race of hardy and adventurous pirates, ready to undertake any enterprise, however ns oda and carry it out by any means, however criminal. Suoh a horde of civilized barbarians co-operating with the Ameri- can Transit Company, has just nm possession of the State of Nicaragua, under the leadership of Col. Walker, and while we are debating about the Mos- quito protectorate and the island of Raatan, seems not unlikely to accomplish the very mischief, by the establishment of an American State on the line of transit, i gla which the Clayton-Bulwer treaty wasintended to guard. We ee itis the duty of the United States to put down by military force there disgraceful enterprises, where men possessed of no other merit than ferocious courage their country and their race by every species of cruelty and oppression, and continually em! the relations of the Union with foreign countries, But while we are at iasue with the American govern- ment as to our part of the treaty, it is vain to expect that ey will incur either trouble or unpopularity in punishing such of their citizens as are its provisions on their own account. The sug: stion, then, we would offer, is simply this:—Let ns ke our stand on the literal ruction of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, which accomplishes for us all that we can reasonably desire in Central Ameri- ca. Let us frankly give up our questionable right to the spe hs protectorate and -the island of Ria- tan, and, by way of delivering ourselves of the whole embarrassment at once and for ever, throw the worthless settlement of Belize into the bargain. In return, let us call upon the American govern- Ment not only to observe its portion of the treaty, in ed a of which we have hitherto had nothing to complain, but also to root out the gang of pirates and murderers who have taken forcible posession of the State of Nicaragna, and hold it in defiance of the will of both countries. Sach an example would do more to carry ont the intention of the treaty than any amount of protection to drunken savages or 00 cupation of worthles islands, laid by Mr. Abbott Lawrence before Lord Palmerston in 1849, may be judged by the following paragraph of instructions to Mr. Buchanan, dated July 2, 1863 :— The object whioh it is hoped you may be able to accom plish is, to Induce G-eat Britain to withdraw from al control over the territories and islands of Central America ore cmeetente Ge ber’ to ues feom inte! e fairs of the govern- ments and people in that Fogion of the world, ‘The withdrawal from all control aud the abstinence from all intermeddling in other people's affairs, ar: excellent policy, when those affairs don’t concern us. But the reciprocal engagements, first to our government in 1849, were proj on the ex- rexs ground that certain affairs “ in that region of e world’’ did concern us, and did require some joint arrangement. If Great Britain had no recog- nized footing there, it would have been 4 very gra- tuitous proposal on the ff the American Minis- ter, that she should not avail herself of that no foot- ing for the purpose of colonization, occupation, or dominion. The BulwerClayton treaty, as Lord Clarendon has stated, in reply to Mr. Buchaann, de- clares in words:— That the two parties will not octupy, mor fortify, nor colonize, nor assume, mor exercise any dominion over Nicarsgus, Costa Rica, the Mosquito Coast, nor any part of Central America, and that nelther party will make use of any protection which either affords or may afford, ioc anylantisude wuieh eltfisr as exaaay Rave etek any State or people, for the purpose of occupying, or fortity- ing, or colonizing Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Mosquilo coast, or aay part of Cen ral America, or of a-auming or exercising dominion over the same. It is evident, as Lord Clarendon proceeded to state, that the above cited article clearly ac- knowledged the possibility that the protection hitberto afforded might continue to afford- ed, and not a word about its cessation was breathed in the negotiation. It is incon- ceivable, as Lord Clarendon elsewhere stated, that mghts assumed and exercised for centuries should have been surrendered without a word of notice, or @ claim of equivalent. The British go- -vernment was applied to, as to its future intentions; and if ithad been intended that it should uncon tionally resign its actual position, that intention should have been unmasked—as it was in the in- structions of 1853. But it is one question what are the past or present rights of any party, and quite another what are their interests or duties. Tho practical question, as regards England, is not what rights we have “in that region of the world,” but what rights we have tht are worth exercis- ing. The practical question as regards the United States is not what engagements they made with us—but what substantial value was best to belong to such engagements. After the light thrown on theve affairs by subsequent occurrences, the first reflection that occurs is to question the policy, on the part of this country, of any such nsaction with the United States as the Bulwer- Clayton treaty of 1850. After the event, indeed, that policy is‘seen to have been more than doubtful. But even pefore the event, we think that misunder- mandibg oad Siseppolntnest might almost have been anticipated. subject-matters of negotia- tion were necessarily regarded by the rier! parties iroay Spee points of view, and the nati: modes of action ou such matters are essentially dif- ferent, and almost bee ecleel of previous ada ment. The Times says we have hitherto had r7 bservance by the to complain of as regards the ol iy American government of Saline of the treaty, and that we should throw over the toby Se recommen tos bodily, and Belize as a bonne bouche into gain, call upon the American government in return ‘‘to root out the gang of pirates and mur- derers who have taken forcible Layo pe of the State of Nicaragua, and hold it in defiance ot the will of both countries.” Now, that is just the pinch- ing point: and we confess, we have seen not! of nt Pierce's Sorecament which should us to think it either able or willing to root out filibus- tering “ ” from “that re; of the world” which England and the United had agreed not to gocuyy The United States may mak treaties; but compel their citizens to obsery them in such outl, g parts is the difficulty. Un- der such an adm! ration as the present, whose chief asks, “Why should Texas have been a lon star ?”’—is any such “rooting out” really to be look ed for, whatever cession might be made by this country? In our humble judgment, whatever we withhold or concede “in that region of the world,” we should keep in mind that we cannot fix Ameri- can adventure to any binding. bargain. We should ourselves act on calm considerations of national policy, and with the most scrupulous regard for in- ternational rights; we should trust, in so acting, to reserve the friendship of the great enlightened dy of the citizens of the United States; and we should limit diplomatic engagements to the precise ints intended to be provided for, make no blind Pargaitis, and build no walls to keep birds from cherry trees. The Sound Dues Conferences. The Sound Dues conferences were formally opened at Copenhagen on the 4th ultimo, but the business transacted consisted of little more than the presen- tation and verification of the different credentials. The Rassian Commissioner, Tengoborski, was the only specially nominated deputy there. The Danish papers fora long time observed the most perfect silence on the subject of these conferences, and it was not till the 14th of January that the Dagbladet favored the publio with a few particulars from a pri- vate source. According to this statement the Minister Von Scheel opened the proceedings by announcing that Herr Bluhme, the ci-devant Minister for Foreign Affairs, was deputed by the government to represent Denmark, after which communication he withdrew. The assembly was composed of the representatives of twelve Stutes. Herr Bluhme proceeded to de- velope a plan for the capitalisation of the Sound dues, and of the other incidental payments, based upon a mixed calculation of the imports and ex- rts of the various nations. At that part of his speech fe which he described Denmark as paras, come for- ward to meet the others half way he was interrupted by Herr Tengoborski, who maintained that it was Russia that came half way to meet Denmark, seeing that the former had no desire at all to capitalise her share; Hamburg and Mecklenburg had als6 already declared they had no desire to commute their pay- ment of the Sound dues for a fixed sum down. The speech of the Danish representative was answered y Lagerheim, the representative of Sweden and Norway. As all the materials had not been col- lected that the members thought necessary for their deliberations, more particularly the reports on the Sound dues from the years 1841 to 1847, the confe- rences were adjourned till the end of this month. The deliberations seem intaerto not to have been con- ducted in the most regular and tranquil manner pos- sible, for it is mentioned that it took considerable trouble to get a protocol or minutes of the proceed- ings drawn up and agreed to. Wreck of the American Bark Independence. Trish papers contain accounts from Drogheda of the lores of the American bark Independence, of Bath, Me., Captain Marshall, on the strand, near Bettystown, north of the Nanny river. The bark was returning on her first trip to New Orleans, from Liverpool. She was 1,300 tons register, and 2,000 tons burden, having at the time a crew of thirty hands, and with 700 tons ot salt as cargo. The In- dependence struck at 4 A.

Brau, Jan 24, 1856, It bas been determined at a council at which the King presided, that Prussia will make no very open demon- stration of her wish to bef admitved to the conferences.

Baron Bran- non and Count Orloff will, it is said, appear on the pariof Russia. LONDON MONEY MARKET. The London News city article, dated Friday evening, Jan. 26, says:— The f »ds to-day have experienced an unfavorable re- action of 3g per cent. After so marked a rise as that lgtely witnessed a partial relapse is not surprising. The chief depressing influence, however, appears to rest with the continued cales on government account, The Bank rg England baving made large advances to government sells stock for the latter and thus draws back the notes issued in payment of the dividend. Owing to the demand for money against these sales, and to meet to-day’ Anal in- stalment on the Turkish loan, the money market in the Stock xchange was rather stringent, and lenders could easily obtain six per cent upon government securities. Out of doors, however, there was no tightness. It 18 presumed that little, if any, of the gold ex the Champion of the Seas will be retained here, The coin and bullion, and the reserve of notes in the returns of the Bank of England, show in each case a small increase, The addition to the treasury duposits is explained by the increase in the government sesurities held by the bank. The directors have evidently made fresh advances to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The further decrease of more than half a million in the pri- vate securities is = satisfactory feature, indicating » di- minution of the pressure for money in commercial cirslas. The ratlway share market to-day partistpated in the re- action of Consols. ‘The Lordon Pimes’ city article of Friday evening, Jan. 2, ways:— The Knglish fanda have shown diminished buoyancy, to-dey, and have closed at a reaction ot one-half per cevt. The principal cause of the heaviness seemed ‘o consistin an increated demand for money consequent Won some rather heavy sales by an influential broker, and the payment of the final instalment on the Turkish joan. A few days back advances on stocks for short pe- riods could be readily obtained at five per cent, and this af‘ernoon they were in great demand at six per cent. Lower prices from France likewise contributed to the prevail'ng heaviness, There was till a complete absence 0° political news, and the feeling with regard to the pros- pects of peace dees not appear to have undergone any change. In well informed quarters an improssioa i gain. ing ground that the approaching conferences will be held in Paris. As the accounts from the Bank of France are understood to bave been lately of a more favorable character, it in thought that ® portion o: the gold by the Champion, of the Seas will be taken to the Bank of England.
