There are rymptoms of a strong hand being brought to bear on the speculative mania of the dey, and of « deter- miration on the part of the Emperor to make a clean sweep of officials who employ their credit for Bourse transactions. It is well known that the chief personage amongst this class is the Count de Morny, wh? is not to be married to Miss Hatton, the American beauty—the | lady's chance of which Lonor I had myself never at any Ume much fatth in—but who is to go to St. Petersburg as ambarsador, and thus be out of the pale of tempta- Hutton, but of the Bourse, In the meantime the army of lacyueys by whom Count Morny has been 80 lorg surrounded, and who with impunity bave made use of his mame, will be sent to the right about forthwi h. M, Bellault, the Minister of the Interior, writes :— | These persons pretend to have @ secret understanding in more or lees elevated regions of the government. Ac- cording to their account, the steps they can take will cause the granting or refusal of concessiins kc. Public contempt brands such marceuvres with utter reproba- tion; and there is, in addition, an article in the penal code which reaches them, and which the Emperor desires rhall be severely applied.’ Proscribiog in the most abso- lete manner all perscnal influence in the despatch of public business, the will of the Emperor is, that public interest alone shall be consulted.

Am article in the Consiiue tionnel of yesterday, wiittea by Onesagnac, and evidently prempted by the Emperor’s government, if not by bim- sel’, throws some light om the subject. 1 speaks of the Growry stete o’ Italy, of the difficulty of arous'ng « sleep! Ing nation, of the dangers of a revolation, apd 40 forth. It does not say a word on the subject of Milan or Veuis bat it alludes to the Papal States and to the kingdom of th Two Sicilies, As regards the former, it mafotsias the doctrine that the sovereign of France being called the eldest son of the Catholic church, is bound to sustain ‘end support the Holy Father in his eyclesiastical and temporal rights, and that the meaning and extent of this protec ton was @ (uestion entirely reserved for the solu- tion of the Catholic powers. Having thus ruled out the co-operation of Exgland and Russia both, the article pro- ceeds to show that it is not suflicient for France to sup- port the Pope by her beyonete, but that euch aweliora- tions must be introduced inta the Papal States as wilt enable the Holy Father to sustain himself by the increas- ¢d conficence with which be will have inspired bis own people, This, no doubt, iain substance the point made by Count Cavour in his memoire, and proves conclusive:y that the Emperor of the French knew the text of the memoire long before it was submitted to the Congress. In regard io Naples the language of the memowe is prcbably much less restrained, and so is that of the article published in yesterday’s Constitutionncl. It plsinly hints at the probable yieiding of the King of Naples to the joint remonetrances of the other European /’ow- era, made in the interest of civilization and tranquility. The hope that that forlorn Bourbon will yield to these remonstrances, involves, in the worst cass, the power and purpose of constraining him, and will, perhaps, by that very means, prevent the re- courre tO'milltery force, On the sbutesof the govern- ment of Naples there is but one opinion in Enr< pe, and it is equally known that during the last war the Neapoli- tan goverument open'y sidec, though from ita weekaesa, it had notthe power to cooperate with Russia. In regard to that power, therefure, France and Exgiand bave no 4; oes to preserve, and their remon- stiances will bave the force and consequence cf prescrip- tions, which the King of Naples wi!l have to obey to save himself from greater trouble, A moment's refisction might bave taught him to follow a line of condust that would have better comported with his dignity; end as the case now stands, Naples, henceforth, willbe placed under the guardianship of France and Boglscd. There are o her points fn the article ocutained in the Conslitutonnel of yesterday, to which I take less plea- ewe in referring. The aciicle alluded to, whish is a premisr-pas, couples with the considerstion of the Italian ‘Biaces Unet of Spain, Mexico and Cen ral America. itis possible that the Emperor of the Fremsh, havirg to a certain extent adjourced, if not seitled the vrien‘al question, really > inka himself of inter-ering in questions relaung to Spaio, Mexio> aud Cental Americas. [ have already expressed tw you my cpinioms om the subject in some of my recent letiers, sud I freely confess that have not been calmed by what I have riuce seen and heard in Pans, Thet the Emperor or the Frensh is not satisfied with the conci-ion ot Spain; that be looks with suspicicm on the administration of the Duke de la Vittoria ; that he looks upon the Spani-h libersis as threatening his own ty, and that, io fact, he isia favor of-a more absolute government in the perinsuia, is known, and might be inferred trom the distunguisned consideration epjoyed by the ex-Queen Donna Corisiing in Paris; but that the Empecor seriously reficeis on a military intervention has not bean consicered probable. Inevertheles fear that such ie his intention, and that inverterence with Spain necessarily involves interference with the island of Cuba, Perhaps Donca Christiaa is wibiog to cede that isiand to France, should Fracos at ‘tbat price undertake to conduct her back to Madrid; for the establishment of colonies as a means of turnish- ing employmert to the ocmmercial and military marine ot France has ever been a favorite object of the Em- peror, and Spain beirg no longer a first rate Power, has Bo object im preventing the naval growth and ex‘en- sicn cf ber French neighbor. That interference in the tnternal affairs and Coionial ment of spain, way also invoive or lead to diplematic re iations of a more intimate kind between Mexico and France, can hardly bo doubted, and from Mexico to Central America the p: &sge would be natural and facile. It will be well, there- fore, for Mr. Pierce to prepare, even before his retire. ment from Washingion, for eventualities in that quarter, ard to watch the Rogie ot events in those quarters with heenez eyes D those of a mere mousing politician. The men here at work io procurt European golation of American questions, are men of a aifferent caii>re from those whose principal objest it is to secure party adbesion at brme, and bring a far greater amount o’ in- formation and political experience to the sulution of their take warning in time and remember injunction uot to be caught wich our breeches down. The moat important thing, as involving vital consider. asiions tor the United States, is the conveutiun coucuded aa part of the treaty of pace between the priocipal mari- time powers of Europe, for the pucpose of changing the pubiic maritime law ot the civilized wor.d. That conven- tion contains three pvints, tor which the United States heve aiwsys con.ended, sud to maintain which they have elreacy drawn the «word, while the fourth is a di-ect biow to our mari ime superiority, as displayed by our ability to ecver thewhole ocean wih our privateers, The three first points of the conyenticn stipulate that free skipe shell make free goods. excep! as iar as regard, articies ecmtrabend of war, and that @ friena’s goocs 11 be protected under the enemy’ with the ilke piion. The third puis an end to the faiguttous :ys- fem 0 paper bicckades resorted to by Evgland curing ‘the ware cf tbe French revolution, and as far as that and the two first poin‘s go, contains a proviso, on the part of Exgland, to be better behaved hereafter, and tosurreoder claims no longer compatible wita the progress of civiliza tionand humanity, Sad the convention stopped ere, the United States would have been the firat nat 4 cede toit: but being coupied with a c’ause rex ing the belligerent 1ignt of arming privateers and issaisy let- ters of marque, the United States ovght to reflec’. well befcre they accede to sueb @ convention, even in a m di fied form, We must in time of war look to our eommer- cial marive as ihe means of annoying and cestr: ing our enemy’s commerce, just as we look to onr um" ia and yolunteers for the éefince of our own teritu’ institutions are different from those of and alike cpposed to large navies as standing armies.

The Debate in the English Parliament on the Treaty of Peaco— Guizot’s Opinion of Lauis Nopsleon—Count War lewski’s Remarks on the Belgian Press—The Comte de Paris— Feudal Attachments Health of the sapressm Boplism of the Imperial Prince~The King of Wurlem- berg— Singular Incident in a Railway Traén, No debate in the English Parliament has of Jate yoars attracted so much attention in France as thet which has just occurred on the treaty of peace. Deprived of that political food which through a great constitutional chan- nel feeds and sustains the glorious lamp of liberty in the United States and in En. land, it is no ural that the peo- ple should turn with avidity to that foreign source which perénuially overflows, spreading fer‘iilty and verdure, in- terest and instruction, in obscure places, and among populations benighted with prejudice and ignorance. Gratified as all men seemed to be by the part assigned to France in the recent treaty, the light thrown apon the protocols by the Parliamentary discussions hes (mamen- eurably increased this gra‘ifcation. It has corroborated their previous conviction. It has done more; it has pro- claimed before the civilized world that France is now at the bead of the nations, ‘Had he stood alone,’ said the Engiieh Ambassador, in his place in the House of Lords, ‘the could undoubtedly have made better terms, bat we were bound to remember our ally.’’ This expression of Lord Cowley’s is thought to beg the whole juestion, and to yleld the chief p’ace to France, It is certain that, go into what political coterie you will, jou hear noth!ng but ¢°mmendationa of the wis- dem mma foresight the Emperor has displayed, come | what will hereafter, M.

It is remarkable how this great parliamentary debater has relapeed into the mere pniloscpaer. His awile is ay id, his brow as rerene, his languegs as miid and w pacsioned, as one who had never mingled in the :ar- moils of politics; and from the gentienese which per- vades his most casual cbeervations, you would n- var suppose that ft was he who gave the fiery conusel hich wou!d have saved the Orleans dynasty its present cays of humiliations, ‘Command the troops to act re- polately. sir, and guarantee your throne for half a sen- tury,” was his energetic remonstrance. The tender ‘ed old King shrank frowo the orceal, and the giory of his bouse has forever departed. I heard from a party who is of the household of the Duchess of Orisans that her con, the Count ¢e Paris, is already as tall in n as bis bandscme father, though not 50 good looking; that he evincer considerable talent and great energy of cha racter. Whether the Duke de Chambord will ever foreg: his rights, and thus place him in the mfxed charac'er of divinely appointed and popuiarly elected, seems more than ever coubifal. Wihout this, the Orleans brauch ig simoply one that bas been weighed and found wanting.

Public feeling has been excited, in consequence of this ex- planation (¢zplication), in's double point of view. Se- rious accusations bave been brought against Belgium end tke Beigian es. Those accusations, the ex: - ration of which it will be easy for me to prove to the Chamber (and this proof would be needlers, if I onl; +poke for the Chamber), have offended the national feel- ing and dignity, as every unjast accusation must offend, even whea it 4 as] fain would believe it is in the pre- rent instanee, but the result of an error of the acvuser, Public feeiing has been excited in a secon cot \ lew 1m oonrequence of hia accusation, and @ fu.u e fall of apprehenrions loome before us; words which, perhaps, we do not rightly uncerstand, to which, perhaps,» » attach more importance than was meant io be given to them by him why spoke them, have appeared as words of menace against that which each of yeu, which ry Belgian citizen holde most déar— against that which he considers as bie wont legitimate property, as the most sacred of siitutional institutions. The Belgian pres, it raid, attacks accial order and foreign government The legislation of that country assures to hore who make so evidert an abuse of the liberty of the prevs an impunity which the good intentions of the government, which the support of all good citizens of that country, are unable to evrb. Ido not deny that some journals in Belgium have eubetituted for the ure the abune of liberty of the press; that on some occasions—too frequently, according to my wisher, as to the wishes of you all—instead of an honest, calm ard dignified oriticlam, they have made use of lan- guage which every good citizen condemns and disapproves, and which cannot be inspired by any true Belgian senti- ment, or emanste from any patriotic impulse. (General sppiaicae.) It is not, therefore, to deny in an absolute manner the truth of this grave accusatioa that I now address you; but whatI deny is, that the facts which have givan rire toit should have acquired with us thet general character attributed to them; that thore facts erjry an impunity here which cannot be remedied with- ont attacking our constitu'ion, What I chalienge is, that thore atiscke bear @ hostile character exclusively againet cme government--‘hat thay are, in short, to speak nly, inspired exolnatvaly by anti-French fowitr an idea bowtie to France +, moreover, ure poise vei in Loe UFO OF Our eumetalonas Moerty of the press, n P son ot whioh, it Is said, Bet em re \be Foi example, le It just te pro- elgiza this gene» al ation egainst the whole peg of CUP @ouLtry? this @ just appreciation Of tects which are takicg place around us, and wocn We coo alleasliy oortroi?

No- thing was found; he dec'ared himself in the strongest terms to be ‘all right on the goose,” %. ¢ , a pro-slavery man—drank with the crowd, was presented with » new carpet beg in licu of the cld one, and went on bis way rejoicie g, sligh‘ly elevated on account of old Mar: Har- ris’s whiskey, which he had taken in im the course of fisled our international duties; we have been declared ia capable of dcing all that those duties prescribe to us in remaining a8 weare. Before examining this new accu. nation, allow me to call to mind how often Belgium, since ber existence as an independent nation, hes given proof ot her respect ‘or even the rtgorous fulfilment of all imposed upon her ss an international duty. At three different epochs since 1880, Be.gium, who, it is raid, does not understand her duties towards Eu- rope, bas, nevertheless, made important sacrifices for her—recrifices which must have wounded more than one heart, and Kurope ought to keep it in account; she wiil doubtless do so when the facts are better known. In 1850 we entered the career of independence. We were still young. We possessed all the warmth of youth and a}] the emtbusiasm ofa triumpbant revoluticn. At that eroch we were reminzed of our interna‘ionel duties; in the name of Europe we were asked not to ex- tend the effects ot our revolution beyond very restricted limits, We.), when we were arked a)] ihat in the name of Eurogenn interests, and ss the first pleége of the inde- pendence which we had conquered, we resisted thetemp- tation of carrying our revolutionary fiag, our triumphant flag. toihe banks of the Scheldt and to Moverdyck. In 1859 we were again ashed, in the name of Europe, to crifice 400,000 of our brethren who had given ua their werfal arsistance in achieving that independence, and Pe tatranchisie, our territo: We consented.

In 1848, strong in that conritution which to-cay appears te be the ebjuet of re- grets, even of threats—s rong in our instituticns, we were, I repeat it with pride=for pride is allowabie ia a de‘ence—we were the barrier which stopped the tiie of revolution, and the European government verr ments as they were—would not have been very sure of maintaining that tranquility if had been left to ‘themselves. is what Belgium did when called upon to fulfil her international duties. now, what is re- quired other’ Is not that past a guarantee of the fa- ture—ie not that past a guarantee of what she intends to do hereafier?

What are those reforms? They are, at least we Are jualified in sapponing it, reforms in constitution, as legal reforms a le- gislaiive mojority suffices. Considering these words, I am authorized to ask frem the Cabinet a distinct rep!y to the following question:—Has the French S- or any ment, that took part in the aris Congress, acd in the sitting ofthe of April, asked the Belgian government to introduce into our constitution any re- form whatsoever’ And, should a request of that nature be one day put to the Cabinet—I ark for a reply at once, would it be inclined to comply with such request? These are the three questions whieh, with a view to re-sssure and justi'y the country, I feel it my duly to put to the Cabinet, “(Cheers.) °) & Amid deep silence M. Vizain XIV., Minister of Foreign Affairs, replied as follows: Gentiemen—t( have the honor to reply ina very few words to the three questions put to me yy the honorable member, M.O.ts, He asked me, in the first instance, whether the Cabinet had made a re- ply to the French government, or to one of tbe govern- mente represented at the Paris Congrens, since the pub- the 8th of April.
