ee ‘Western Powers to the abnormal and unfor- ‘tunate rondition of Italy. Had the war assumed a there would have been reason hope that the programme of the Western Powers have been extended; but, in the present situ- ation there was no possibility of demanding or ex pet territorial changes. Diplomacy is iiapotent is the condition of nations; it can only sanc- ‘tion sccomplished facts. The present condition of Ttaly, however, not being conformable to the treaties ‘in force, ure principles ‘id down at Vieana having been violate.3, and the political equilibrium dostroy- ed, the Sardinian: Plenipotentiaries invited England and France to take Chat state of things into serious consideration. Our ai, !¢8 favorably received that demand, and took the dee, *3t interest in the affairs of Italy. They admitted that *2e occupation of the Stalian provinces by foreign tro.\8 Wis abnormal, And expressed 2 desire that it shoula *24se. Bat an objection presented itself. It was asked “hat might be the consequences of the withdrawal o* those “troops, The Sardinian Plenipotentiaris did not uS*! ‘tate to declare that, without the adoption of preser- wative measures,those C Treg taee might be ‘Berious and perilous. But they thought tha these dangers might be obviated, and drew ‘up & memorial, which was addressed, in the form of a note, to the governments of England ‘and France. England gave her full adhesion to it. ‘France admitted the principle, but for particular considerations, she reserved her opinion as to its application. The Soverign Pontiff is not only the temporal chief of a State, he is also the religious chief of the Catholic world. Hence arise for the French poverninent certain duties to fulfil, and if “we consider the influence which an act accomplish- ed at Rome may have on the interests of Franc: will be concived that the French government does not deserve from us less gratitude than the English -Zovernment. In the eyes of Bngland. the Roman Question is merely political, and the English Pleni- Potentiary treated it with the linerty and talent be- Coming so important a question. I am delighted -4o have it in my power to proclaim here that that illustrious statesman, whom I am happy to call my friend, evinced go much sympathy ‘or Italy, and BO sanguine a desire for the improvement of her condition, that he is entitled to the gratitude not only of the Piedmontese, but also of all the Ztalians. The Austrian Plenipotentiary dpposed a pbein bar; that is, he observed, with reason, that is government, having received no intimation on the subject, he had neither powers nor instructions to enter on the merits of the question. But he Tmaintained the right of intervention when applied for by another government. That doctrine, admitted ‘by France, was opposed by England, and it'was not possible to arrive at a precise solution, but we have pained, a great point by inducing England and ‘rance to proclaim the expediens, of putting an end to the pecncests of Central Italy. The Sardinian Plenipotentiaries suggested that some of the Italian ‘governments might be advised to adopt a system of moderation. I will not here attempt to describe the awarm manner in which the representatives of Eng- Jand and France supported that motion. If the di- lomatists of the other nations did not concur in it, ‘rom motives of propricty, I must say that Tot one of them, either officially or officiously, depagaed the validity of the arguments ad- dus by England and France, and I am of opinion that the advice, given only by those two ations, will not be the less efficacious. The Sardi- nian Plenipotentiaries called the attention of the Assembly to the erection of fortifications at Piacenza, ‘and denounced that fact as part of a system against which they considered it their duty to protest. Thus, the abnormal and unhappy condition of-Italy has deen exposed to Europe, not by furious and revolu- tionary LAS not by passioaate journals, not by. party men, but by the representatives of the first nations of Europe. The second advantage obtained ‘consists in those Powers having declared that it avas the interest of Europe that the evils of Italy Should be remedied. A verdict given by England and France cannot long remain sterile. On the other hand, it is certain that the Paris negotiations did not improve our relations with Austria. I must Bay that the Sardinian and Austrian Plenipotentia- vies, after sitting side by side for two months, and co-operating in one of the greatest political works accomplished during the last forty years, se- arated —without any personal fosl tes it is true, for must do justice to the perfectly courteous de- ‘meanor of the Austrian representatives—but with ‘the intimate conviction that the political systems of the two countries are more opposed than ever. Those differences may give rise to difficulties, and Create dangers, but that is the inevitable and fatal consequence of the system of liberty which Victor nuel inaugurated on ascending the throne, -and which you have ever since upheld. I do not think that the foreseeing those perils ought to in- duce the Ki to alter his icy. To-day, the cause of Italy has been brought betore the tribunal of public opinion, whose decision, to use the noble a the Emperor of the French, is without -appeal. trial may be long, but I am confident hat it# definitive issue will be conformable to the ustice of the cause. M. Mamrant spoke as follows:—The Patis Con ferences have demonstrated a certain and uncon- trovertible fact—namely, that Russia, on account of her losses, was compelled to accept the conditions “of peace offered to her. ~ Russia showed that she «vas weak and unable to continue the struggle, and that a semi-civilization is worse than complete bar- darism. The humiliation of Russia has broken the Northern league, and the compact of the Holy Al- Tiance is now atan end. Russia has lost the supreme patronage she exercised over Germany. The last wer has proved to Great Britain that a na- tion ent given to trade and industry often rups the so of losing its vigor and original magnanimity, and that no nation should remain isolated in the world, without powertul and “tried friends. The two greatest nations in the world have concluded a fruitful and durable alliance. ‘Without renouncing her alliance with France, Eng- land must seek hereafter new friends among nations aipe for civil liberty, and ready to assert their legi- timate and natural rights in Italy and Germany. ‘The latter does not want for independence, but for life and a national representation. In order to be ‘fruittul, the policy of England must tend to assist -other nations te conquer their liberty. Iam inclined to believe thatere long in civilized furope—not even excepting Russia—there will be no other absolute Power but Austria. That Power, owing to the hetoro- geneous elements which compose it, can never adopt another form of government. As tor the pale satel- ites of Avstria—such as Naples, Florence, Parma ‘Modena ,ané Rome—it will soon be seen whetherthey can long continue to govern in an arbitrary and illibe- xal manner. As respects Sardinia, the glorious pre- sence of her tri-colored banner next to those of Eng- , land and France has fixed the attention of Europe upon us, and the honest press of every country is ‘now pre-ocoupied with our affairs. Inthe British Parliament the ministers of the Queen i plensed: the -cause of Italy. Such are the fruits of the noble, be- coming, and straightforward conduct of Count de Cavour, constituting himself in the Paris Congross the defender of oppressed Italian nations. The voice of Piedmont has been heard, and if ever the aministers of Kp Victor Emmanuel were called upon to justify their mandate they might reply that it was written with the blood of the Piedmontese who fell in the plains of Lombardy and under the ‘walls of opol. Ministers of the King, I en- treat you to preserve entire that Laplites and noble “mandate.. to-day you have no other alternative lett but to recede or move forward and energetically and loyally execute the honorable and legitimate mission confided to you by Italy and the hand of God. In the morning Luca 0 the debate was opened by Count Mamrant, formerly a minister of Pope Pius “TX., who ‘has lately been naturalized in Sardinia, and almost immediately afterwards was elected a deputy 4or Genoa. This was the first occasion of his ad- ‘dressing the Chamber, and he spoke in favor of the government policy (Vide Sai ‘ian Parliament.) M. Caporna asked Count Cavour if he had any -objection to read the ‘Note’ communicated by him to the governments of France and England, dated April 16, 1866; and also questioned him as to the -truth of the reports in circulation as toa concordat “being negotiated with the Court of Rome by ‘the Bardinisn government. Count Cavour answered the first atl by reading the Note. As to the second, he declared that under present circumstances it would be im- possible to enter into fresh negotiations. Some years back, he said, the government had been re- commended by exalted personages to endeavor to weconcile its differences with the Courtof Rome; bu’ now those same personoges, seeing the tendency o the Austrian Concordat to revive medimval institu- tions, had altered their opinion, and encouraged the Sordinian government in preserving the rights of the civil power. (It is almost unnecessary to ex- «plain that Count Cavour was understood to allude ‘to the Emperor of the French.) M.-Caporna then proposed to the Chamber to de- «clare its approval of the Ministerial foreign pei and exptees a wish that it should persevere in the game track. This motion was sup ted by Count ede Revel and M. Moia (the former the leader of the right, and the latter a member of the left,) and on tH6 motion bemg put to the vote by those in favor sanding sp, the whole House rose en masse, with the exoeption of Count Della Margherita and some halfiozen members of the extreme right, whose pe- -culiar position served the better to mark the general approbation. The result was received with loud and repeated cheers from both the galleries and the body of the touse. This debate, therefore, has not only been highly gratifying for the government, for no of Count Cavour's speech was More applauded when he declared that the polity of the Kin, and of his Majesty's present Ministers would not be affected by any means from without, but it was most satisfactory for the country to see how on the faintest alarm of foreign ion all parties, with the exception of those above indicated, has tened to support the throne and the King’s responsi- dag {From the 1 Times, May 14.) ‘We announced some time since the fact that the NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 1856. Bardinian Plenipotentiaries at Paris had invited the attention of the allies to the state of Italy, and that, not content with general expressions in favor of a better government, they had proposed, a definite course of action, which was said to be viewed with no disfavor by the Western Powers. The first seep to any improvement of Italy m:.) yo, according to the Sardiztans, an liverference to check the misgo- vernment of the Papal States, and as alternately the effect and cause of such misgovernment haa besn the occupation of Italian territory by foreign troo) 3 it was the duty of the Conference to devise m2in3 or bringing to a close the military rule which haa now forso many years taken the place ‘of minizipal law throughout a large parsey of the Italian Peninsula. The note presented by the Sardinian Plenipotentia- rics to the Ministers of France and Eoglind 02 the 27th March is now made public, and the world m Ly judge in detail the plan for the secularizition of the Papal Legations, which is the first article in the Sardinian Erograniiy, The history of these pro- vinces during the last sixty years is well knowa, and is the natural result of their geographicat posi- ua. Before the French Revolution their people, amia ‘ke decline of Italy and the general want of vitality i: Europe, preserved something of t'ic spirit which a beiter age had nourished. In no part of Ttaly was there more independence of clerical control, or a greater appreciation of the liberty of action and conscience, which then began to be discussed in Europe. Although art of the patrimony of the church, they en- jomed their own privilege of internal adminis. tration, their own franchises as a legitimately go- verned province, and looked down with something like contempt on the populace of Rome or Naples, who were at the mercy of priestsor women. The Sardinian Note reminds the allies how, even at that time, the army of Bonaparte was received with enthusiasm, and that the Legations, as part of the Republic and Kingdom of Italy, were fai h- ful to French rule for a period of more than 20 years. The new French code, the dissolution of humerous monasteries, the construction of roads, and the encouragement of commerce, science, and art, developed the resources of the country, iu spite of great and unceasing wars. Bat Napoleon fell, and the peRetons, were once more without a master. Such a prize was naturally coveted by the empire which had with such obstinacy, through 20 years of defeat, contended against the power of the French ruler. The other Cabinets were unwilling to grant to Austria such an extension of territory. The Court of Rome, with characteristic skill, took advantage of the mutual jealousy. After the battle of Waterloo the Legations were formally re-annexed to the Papal State But the politicians of Vienna were not men to respect the rights of a weak province. In old Europe there was a number of small communi- ties preserving from earlier times a free govern- ment, under the sanction of public law and trea- ties, which even the greatest sovereigns were forced to respect. All these had been swept away, and the Congress were determined never to restore them. The republics of the Netherlands, of Venice, of Genoa, were given up to the purest ‘and most unlimited monarchieal rule, many a free city in Germany was incerporated with the dominions of the repossessed Mings, and the Legations were now made Papal agRome itself, In some parts of Europe, as the Rhe@h and Belgian provinces, the code Napoleon was itted to retain its place; but no such weakness Was to be expected of Roman priests, supported, as they soon became conscious, by Austrian bayonets. Law, commerce, even do- mestic freedom, soon vanished, and were succeeded by priestly rule, ae rescripts, spies, arrests, tumults, and finally by an Austrian occupation. Since the restitution of these provinces to Rome 40 years have elapsed. In this period the Austrians ave held military possession of the country no less than twenty-four years. Three times the sovereign- BA of the Pope has been repudiated by his subjects. hree times the insurrection has been put down amid a deluge of blood, and for years after the country has borne all the ills that a foreign in- vasion brings with it. The last occupation began in 1849, and still continues. So deplorable was the condition of the legations ten years since, that Pius JX., who had been Bishop of Imola, found it neces- sary at his accession to attempt some reforms. But the revolutions of 1848 dispersed forever any liberal ideas which the weak prelate had ever conccived. The successes of Radetzky and the gencral ebb of the revolutionary tide brought the Austrians across the Po, and for seven years they have lived at free quarteis in the mabe apy, province. Much is said about the progress of humanity, but there still seem parts of Europe where there is not only a re- now wish to direct the attention of our readers to'| remains one or two salient points in the correspondence, which it wit be necessary bear im taind. * the iin pele pulosit; gh ngeteety ise scru; ty on the of Mr. Crampton and the Consuls, Lord Clarendon and the home government, in discouraging and disclaiming any attempt to recruit soldiers on the soil of the United States, and this final concession of Lord Clarendon, by which the Queen's government con- | sents, out of deference to that of the United States, | to yield the obvious and incontestable right of mak- | ing known on any part of the American continent | the terms of enlistment in the British army, and the mode of carrying them out in a British province, pushes the principle of comity toa degree which we believe no one nation ever yet shoved to or ex- posed, from apy other, except where tite one pre- nded to be a parsmount and the other confessed to being a subject nation. Now we come to the most extraordinary part of these proceedings. In the month of September—two months after the transmission of Lord Clarendon’s most conciliatory despatch—Mr, Maron addreases to Mr. Cramptou a despatch, charging him and other British officers, beth in the republic and British colonies, not only with a breach of the municipat law, but with a vio- lation of the sovereign rights of the States, by countenancing the enlistment of subjects and s0- journers in the States. As Mr. Marcy harps npon this distinction, it is worth while to ak what it means. To us it appears rather like nonsense. Where an offence is defined by the written law, itis needless to recur to the unwritten for illustra- tion or for culmination. No one doubts that every independent State has the right to revent that which compromises its neutrall- y—vizr, the enlistment of its citizens or its residents in a foreign army. 1% may insist upon this by specific treaty with other nations. It mi may make it the subje2t of a municipal law. But, when it has once done either of these. we do not see how it can also fall back upon the abstractions of an unwritten code, It has already made its mu- nicipal law the exponent of its national rights, and the standard sf the penalty to be pronounced against the niet pene of those rights, and it is to the municipal law that every sensible man willlook for a definition of the offence and an exposition of the pena and it was the municipal law which Lord larendon had been go anxions to respect. But, not content with this view of the case, Mr. Marcy extends, by false translations, the purport of the dicta which he quotes on the subject under discus- sion, attributing the same degree of criminality to the “raising” of soldiers, or to “ inducements to jo and enlist,” which the great writers on national law attach to the abduction or enlistment of soldiers from or in a neutral State; this, too, be it observed, at a time when the vast majority of offers made to the British Minister were entirely voluntary, and when no small number of American citizens were actually engaged in the Russian service! The only interpretation which Mr. Marys dictum will bear is, that her Majesty's servants had no right to an- nounce on any part of the American continent, even in her Majesty's colonies, any proposal for raising soldiers for her army. Imagine any europea State imposing similar conditions or exacting similar con- cessions from its neighbors. the cutions to which Mr. Marcy refers, and on which he grounds his complaints, directed ostensibly against collusive defendants, but in reality against the British Minister and Consuls, of the character of the defendante and the witnesses, of theirshameful mendacity and perjury, of the vio- lence of the State prosecatos, his poeans ovor our presumed ill success in the Crimea, and his denun- ciations against the decaying aristocracy and tot- tering governments of the Old World, we will not say much at present. Those who like may read them, but we warn them they will do it at the risk of losing that respect and that esteem which it is desirable that educated and intelligent Englishmen should cherish towards the American branch of our reat family. We will remind our readers that throughout the whole of tais dispute the amplest concessions have been made—concessions almost trenching on the sovereign rights of England—and the most courteous and conciliatory language held, the handsomest apologies tendered, by Lord Claren- don; and yet that, after all, the American Minister persists in demanding the recall of Mr. Crampton, and representing his country as insulted by us, for no other reason which we can sce than that the Engliah Minister at Washington and the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia venture to think that they might, within the limits of the British provinces of lative but an absolute retrogression. The condi- tion of the Legations causes their inhabitants to look with envy on ages which are pas’ and gone. No excess of insolence towards Italians will call down any punishment on an Austrian officer from his superiors. No claim of justice insures the re- dress of an Italian’s wrongs when his opponent is an Austrian who has influence with the commandant of the district. The regular functionaries—general- ly priests or their nominees—are bad enough, but even their slow and inefficient administration is fur- ther hindred by the fear of offending the imperious foreigner, who can put down and set up officials at his pleasure. But from the wrongs of a rave we may pe to the general interests of Europe. The Papal tates are occupied by the armies of two great Powers. As the Sardinian Plenipotentiaries ob- serve, France replied to the second Austrian inter- yention by the occupation of Ancona—to the third by the taking of Rome. Foreign interference by force of arms tends to become the habitual state of things. A peninsula the neutrality and independence of which has been thought necessary to the safety of Burp is the field on which two empires which have keen enemies and must always be rivals, dis- play their mutual distrust. It is for the interest of all that this unhappy complication should end, and, to do the French government justice, there seems to be no objection on its part to the change. Sardinia, therefore, adopts as its text an expres- sionof the French Emperor, who, in writing of the Papal States, proposed as the solution of the pe blem, secularization and the Code Napoleon. fut, say the Plenipotentiaries, it is evident that the Court of Rome will oppose to the last extremity, and with all the means in its power, the execution of these two designs. The Sardinians speak of the head of their church Rey much in the terms which English writ- ers apply to Turkey and its effete government. Rome, they say, well knows how to accommodate itself by accepting civil and even political reforms, sure of rendering them illusory in practice. So convinced is Sardinia of Papal obstinacy and cunning that it does not even suggest the secularization of Rome and the surrounding country. The Code Napoleon introduced into Rome itself, where the edifice of the Pope’s temporal government hag its foundations, ycald cause it to fall, by cutting away its peissl ess support—clerical privileges and canonical law. For the present, then, aaene must be content to see reforms introduced into those parts that show them- selves leas resigned to the‘ clerical yoke, which isa burning torch of insolence and corruption, which is a pretext for the permanent Soahmie of the Aus- trians, excites d Bers ah complications, and dis- turbs the peace of Europe. If Rome is to remain as she is, at least her outlying provinces are fit for, and would welceme, achange. It only remains to mention the details of the Sar- dinian scheme, which seems likely to give satisfac- tion to the inhabitants of the Legations, without run- ning the risk of any disturbance to Europe. The advocates of the past may be glad to find that the new plan proposes a return, with some modifica- tions, to the system which was in force before the great revolution of 1789. It is proposed that the provinces of the Roman States situated between the Po, the Adriatic, and the Apennines (from the province of Ancona to that of Ferrara), shall be completely secularized for all pu 3 of internal government, though remaining subject to the high dominion of the Papal See; the administrative or- ‘anization to be established as it was in the reign of fapoleon I., before 1814; the Code Napoleon to promulgated, with the requisite modifica- tions. A lay pontificial vicar is to govern the Preveocel with ministers and a Council of State ; he provinces will contribute their fair proportion to the maintenance of the Court of Rome and the service of the public debt; a native army will be raised by conscription; and, besides the commanal and provincial councils, general council will be formed for the examination and regulation of ac- counts. Finally, all Austrian soldiers will leave the country, and succeeded by the French troops now in Rome, but only until such time as the native army shall have been fally formed. Such is the plan which, after mature consideration and much experience of similar evils, the government of Sar- dinia has recommended to the allies, whom it has eerved faithfully ina great war. We feel that few feel words are necessary to recommend it to the t body of our countrymen, who have watched for so many years the calamities of a beautiful land and a highly gifted people. The governments of the two countries will, we are sure, not fail to give their earnest attention to all that the ent urges, and thus they will merit and receive the ap- a a of their own people, and of the world at args. AMERICAN AFFAIRS. The British Enlistment Difficulty—First Un- derstanding Between Marcy and Claren- done {From the London Times, May 14.] The proclamation of an European peace—the dis- cussions of ita conditions—the gallantry of General Williame—the thanks of Parliament tothe army and navy—have distracted public attention from a subject ‘to which it will now have leisure to recur. The American blue book upon our enlistment of re- cruits in the United States, from which we have al- ready made extracts, gives the full history of a dis- ond which we hope will turn out rather curious han serious; and its perusal, we think, will leave but one impression on ail candid readers, both in this country and the Ynited States. We North America, enlist in the Queen’s army men who had freely volunteered thither from the United States. Edglishmen who read this correspondence will at least have the satisfaction of knowiag that arrogance and querulousness have not been ex- hibited on their side. The Reported Secret Treaty Against Russia and the United States {Vorresp:ndence of the Lonton Times.] Paris, May 11, 1836. It is reported very currently in Paris that serious explanations have been or will be demanded of th> British government by Russia as to the treaty of the 16th, signed between Austria, Bngland and France only fifteen days after the signature of the Treaty of Peace by all the members of the Congress. ie convereation that has taken place between the Rus- sian Envoy and the French government was pro- bably of a less official character, inasmuch as the Moniteur has not pabiished that treaty, while it was presented to the English Parliament by Lord Clarendon with that of the 30th and the protocols. Perhaps excessive importance is given to the former document, but there are persons who hold that it to some extent annuls the latter, instead of being its complement or corollary. It was at first supposed that there was a secret article; now it is suspected that instead of an addi- tional clause there is a secret treaty, of which no hint whatever has been as yet given. Icannot say how far this suspicion is well founded. It appears that the governments have resolved not to communicate the declaration annexed to the pro- tocols respecting maritime law, Per cuay the abolition of privateering, to any other governments except the parties signing, aware that the govern: ment of the United States would not accept it. It was rumored, but I believe without = ood foundation, that the treaty of the 15th would have the effect of retarding, if not stopping, M. de Mor- ny’s mission to Moscow. It is certain, however, that the Russians are still atly irritated at it, andI doubt whether Count Orloff would so soon have signed the act of the 30th had he known that of the 15th. The Sound Daes Question. [Corresponcence of the London Times ] CorENaAGEN, May 4, 1856. In my last letter I gave you a short résumé of the Sound dues question. Since then this negotiation has made no progress, but the fault rests not with the Danish yaaa tale Before making any pro- posal, the Danish government endeavored to find a way of solution which at the same time was accept- able to foreign powers and consistent with Den- mark’s interests. This double end the Danish gov- ernment has only been able to attain by proposing the abolition of the Sound dues for a eapital ot 35,000,000 rixdollars Danish money—a sum which scarcely exceeds one half of the capital which, at 4 per cent interest, represents the yearly income of the Sound dues. Although this arrangement im- poses considerable . pecuni sacrifices upon several States, it is the only practicable one, and it must be kept in mind that the powers to whose lot the heaviest share would fall are those most interested in the abolition of the Sound dues, as well as in every important ean question. In fact, no voice has been raised against the equity of Denmark's proposal and against the moderate views the Danish government has taken in this questiou. Several Powers—as Sweden, Norway and Russia—whose share in the capitalization would exceed 7,000,000 silver roubles (28,000,000f.), have not hesitated to accept it. Others have not yet answered to the call, and England, whore inter- eat itseems to be to watch over the independence ot Denmark, has declined to enter into the proposed arrangement. Itis easily understood that the pay- ment of more than £1,000,000—the NB pinta share of Great Britain—may awaken appre- hensions in a constitutional government; and no government cah be expected to be very in- ctined to call upon the nation whose ihterests are cummitted to their care to pay a similar sum But the English nation has interests of a higher order than pecuniary ones—interests calculated fo: future timee—interests of European influence and hegemony. From this point of view I think Eng- Jand might try to identi rie own advantage wit that of other nations, and I am scarcely wrong when L affirm that the British sympathies of this country, which in later years have Freatly, inereased, be considerably impaired if Denmark’s moderate and reasonable proposals shonld meet with oppose. tion from the very country which has the solution of the question in its hands, and which of all States is the ‘one best qualified to preety ‘@ transition from the existing state of things to another state, more consistent With the exigencies of the time, without violently making away with old traditions. It is a wel wn political maxim that great powers ought to seek their alliances with weaker countries, and it certainly would not tell against British interest to | ota and strengthen the sympathies of a people so attached to and such admirers of British institutions asthe Danish na- tion. From the Liverpool limes, May 14,} The inlet intelligence received from Denmark, represents the Sound dues question as being ina state of abeyance. Russia has agreed to the capitali- zation scheme. Great Britain, the public will be refoiced to hear, has declined to pay £1,000,000 as her a towards the abolition of a Aig tax, levied on the ships and merchandise of her subjects. Whether this waa based on the financial diffi- culties of the day, or on a simple prinsipts of equity, to be seen. The Czar’s ready acceptance of the terms Proposed by the Danish government, looks as if he fully approved of them, and would ave no objection to demand of other States, the ful- filment of the conditions lo which Russia has been the first to subscribe. We will not, however, space: late at this moment, on the eventualities which these circumstances lead to, at some future date. Sound dues come under the denomination of passing tolls on shipping, a species of taxation, Sgainst which the Palmerston Cabinet have taken an oath of abjuration hefore the House of Commons. They would fain abolish all such taxe3 in this Borough, and, therefore, could not sanction tuem at Copenhagen with any show of consistency. That some determined stand has been made against the scheme for capitalising the Danish dues, is quite evident from the tone of the Press of Denmark on the subject. Having failed to work successively on British sympathy, the cry is, what shall we poor Danes doit we ure deprived of the rich spoil we have made of the ships and cargoes of al! nations? England's commiseration for the afflicted has been carried to great lengths before now, but then her supplicants have always had some show of eqity and reason on their side. ‘They have not, after taxing our trade and industry for centuries, borrowed our Money, nnd when a day of reckoning hag arrived, sald, “capitalize the taxes we demand without con- sideaation, or any show of justice, ana pay yourselve the money due to you.” Ali shat Ruasin would hay to the Sound dues’ abolition fund would be a mere bagatelle, as compared to England’s portion more percculaaiys as she aot unfreqaently pays her debts 0 inferior powers in kicks instead of coppers. 3till, as it would be a great matter for the Czar to divert the friendship of Denmark from the Western pow- era, it 1s just ble that Aiexander may pay Rus- sia’s share of the exaction project. But England must he uo party to the purchase of a right of way for her ships and commerce on the seas. Once countenance such a precedeat, and where will the like demands end? There is no calculating the danger to be apprehended from the admission of such a principle. Ce ait cae ae ‘The great influence we want ix freedom for our commerce from all unjast and arbitrary toxation. What can Deamark add or take away from our in- fluence asa mercantile power? She has mulcted us to the extent of millions in the payment of dues, and will continue to do so if the people will let her; but she was not so ready to side with Engiand Puschkin frove his post in the Educational ad- ministration of St. Petersburg seems to have cre- ated the fest sensation in that capital.

[From the London Chronicle, May 14.] Six hundred of the passengers of the ill-fated Racer, Captain Ainsworth, which was wrecked at Arklow Bank on the night of the 6th, arrived in Dublin on Saturday evening, by the Dublin and’ wicklow line of railway. The passengers—a large portion of whom are Irish—immediately proceeded to the office of Mr. Kenny, the agent of the owners, who exerted himself to the utmost, and succeeded, after a delay of about two hours, in finding lodgings for the entire number; and he has, of course, made himself responsible for their expenses. Many of them have lost everything they possessed; and al- though, happily, life to pay large extent was not sa- crificed, from all we can learn we believe that a close inquiry is necessary in reference to every circum- stance connected with the vessel from the moment of her departure from Liverpool. The Racer was clipper-rigged, 1,700 tons burden, and built, we be- lieve, in an American Boe She was chartered by Messrs: Brown, Grinnel & €o., to take passengers to New York,and had, when she weighed anchor on Tuesday last, 700 souls on board. At Holyhead the pilot left the ship, and shortly afterwards the mate and tain, it is stated: went below, after giving the wheelman his point to ateer by. The weather was somewhat heavy, with a: fresh wind, and the passengers, of whom the greater number were little accustomed to the sea, turned into their berths at an early hour, expecting and hoping. a prosperous voyage, and fearing nothing of greater consequence thon sea sixkness. The full com- pene of hands for a veaset of the Racer's uild and tonnage would be about twenty-eight able- bodied men. In fact, she was manned by twenty- scuen men, of whom the large majority—we have heard twenty-four—were men of color, and thre= Chinese. The passengers had not been long at rest, when they were rudely disturbed by the running of the ship right ‘on shore. The crew turned out, the passengers ran to and fro in wild confusion, and the belief on every mind was, that m- evitable destruction awaited them. An effort was made to bring’off the ship, but without success, and the circumstances in which all on board were placed were of the most alarmipg eharacter. It is stated by one of the parties, now in Dublin, that the cap- tain, on being appealed to as to the chance of safety, in bis hasty reply: profanely expressed hts belief that they wou'd all be involved ina common and terrific fate. Such opinions, at least, got abroad among the passengers, and the scene on board from that moment grew in its circumstances of horror, uatil the arrival of the Arklow fishing boats, caused every hope to revive, and, let us presume, awaken- ed a feeling of humble thankfulness to God in many a mind relieved of its late anxieties. The fishermen of Arkiow were prompt in their arrival when the news of the disaster reached them, and active in their exertions to land the numerous persons who called upon them for assistance; and when they had been landed the passengers received every attention on shore; and as soon as possible a committce of gentlemen in the neighborhood was formed, subscriptions raised, and all that could be done to relieve and make comfortable parties who had just lost their all was effected by the kind exertions of those who un- dertook the duty. Shortlwafter the striking of the vere! one of the black seamen fell overboard and ‘was lost, and a female passenger was also carried into the sea, but she was happily reeovered. Num- bers of the passengers state, and their assertion is borne out by a report from the constabulary at Arklow, that immediately on the coming of the fishing smacks alongside, and whilst the gers were swarming together in their anxiety to be brought again to terra firma, numbers of the seamen commenced and carried out without a check a sys- tem of wholesale plunder from the boxes and trunks of the emigrants, Here they had placed their little hoards of money, which were rifled without mercy, if the statements be reliable, and in one case as much ag £200 was lost by a r woman, and others lost various sums of from £10 to £50 in this way. When news of the disaster reached town two tug-boats were despatched by Mr. Kenny, with directions to bring off all that could be saved; and they also ar- rived on Saturday, laden with remnants of the wreck. As amongst these the boxes of many of the passengers have been brought up, the truth of the statement as to pill e can, at least to some extent, be easily tested. ral of the crew were brought up by the bet are now in town. It is said by some of the passengers that certain requisites, with which the government emigrant agents very properly demand that each vessel shall he rovided,. and which are essential for the preser- vation of decency and health amongst the en- ers, although they were prepared for the inspec- fon when officer came on board at Liverpool, were immediately knocked away when the ship put to sea. Mr. Kenny has chartered two steam vessels to bring the passengers to Liverpool, preparatory, we presume, to shipping them on board a second ves- sel, to have, let us hope, a more prosperous though a longer voyage.

ALEXANDER, St. Petersburg, April 28, 1856, From St. Petersburg we learn that the son of Count de Nesselrode has been appginted Chamber- lain to the Emperor. The official announcement has been published of Count Chreptowitsch’s i | og as Russian Minister to the Court of St, James's. Of all the official changes which have recently taken place, that of the rymoyal of the Senator stances, would be highly profitable. There was great activity in Siberia, numbem of emigrants, gold finders, merchants, officers, and government officials having flocked in of late. This is attri- butable to the establishment of a line of troops be- youd the Baikal, and the discovery of gold in the ed of the Lena. - AFFAIRS IN SPAIN. Nagoleon’s Iden of iIntervention=French Newspaper in Maaria, [Correspondence of the London Times.]. Pasrs, May, 11, 1356. A French paper some time since estabiished in Madrid, under the title of Journal de Madrid, has lately published an article which has excited sur- prise and no small amount of irritation. The arti cle appeared, by a strange coincidence, on the 2d'of May, the day that the arny, the population, amd the government were celebrating the anniversary of the rising of the Spanish people agatnst their invaders and oppressors. The dictatorial tone of that effu- sion was still more irritating, and the sensations produced by it were paintul from the fact of the writer selecting such a day, whilst thousands were gathered round the monument of Daoiz and Vilarde, whe gave the signal of that glorious insux rection, to declare that French intervention: in Spain was even a contingency. It appears thnt the editor of the paper isa M. Hugdmann, who took refuge in Spain after the coup d'etat of the 2d of December. When hearrived at Madrid he sct up the journal first in a democratic sense. A few months ago he was ansnestied, and came to Paris. It is rumored in Madrid that during his stay here he had interviews with certain influential persons, after which he re- |! turned to Madrid, furnisbed with sufficient fands to put his journal on a large scale, with correspon- dents, &c., and, a8 a letter from that city expresses it, “as an Imperial organ.’ The leading. article I now refer to, and which, # published in. the Span- ish language, would-have produced a_ still more g ous impresaion, is, it appears, the first fruit of this new arrangement; and. certainly M. Hudgmann does not appear 90 mince matters. The letter which men- oes these facts contains the following observa- tions:— At Paris the Frerch government do all they can to re- pndiate the idea of intervention. At Madrid their orgats and the French Ambastador among the number, speak of it as a porridility in certain specified cases; and they use the ides as a thumbscrew, whic is tightened or loosened acoorcing to the exigencies of the moment. Kngland ought not to neglect this question. The policy of France: towards Spain stereotyped in the French Foreign office, end tt never has acd never will or can vary from the time of Lou's XII. down to tho present day. It was frankly (though perhape imprudedtly) declared by M de Chateaubriacd when he said, in 1923, Ly est un sa'rllile qui doit toujours rester dang Ia sphere de la Franc pour la regularité de ses mouvements e des ndires. I givea fewof the more objectionable extracts from the article in question; they are intended ae a comment on some of the papevs that endeavoned: to excite popular indignation by the rumors of an armed intervention. The Eroperor Napoleon has no intention of carrying the arms of Frarce where the legions of his uacle have left their spirit. He knows that in Spain all men of sense love the imperial { ions; he knows that they are ail disposed to place the institutions of the Penineule in rela icp with those of 108, and to faciiltate this har- mony he epares no efforts. The Emperor Napoleon, by establishing with the Span- ieh government the most frivnd'y relations, by protecting the provinces of the ncrtn of ine Peninsula agaiast the partisans cf absolutism, by seeking to facilitate the re-es- tabli-bment of diplomatic re‘ations between Madrid and St. Petersburg, by allowing the riches of the West to flow in on Spanish markete—the Hmperor Sapoleon, we repeat, t¢ responsible before Burope for the future conduct of the Span- iards, whom he protects by his influence without demanding the slightest sacrifice of the liberties trey enjoy at this mo- ment, even thet of overwhelming him with ridicwlous threats and gross Snsults, provided that those liverties Co pot degenerate into licentious extravagance, and that the Pepinsuls, adroitly led on by the spirit which seeks at this moment to again cisturb the re of the unl- Verse, be not @ cause of disquiet fur the world, and» eanger to gorernments. Unfertunately tor the Penirsula, the few extravagant politicians to whom we have jast alluded are not the cay persons who, while appearing to attribute the inu- tenticn to others, prepare a fatal struggle, which can only put in geril the saterests of Spain. We theught we could recognize another band toan theirs in the events of Valencia, We are justly astonished at ibe presence of M. Berbés at Barcelona, and of that of an envoy from London on the eastern cast of tke Peninsula. All this coinciding with certain articles of the Erglish press, tending to excite dangerous hopes in the minds of tr: ies of European order, and with the ccnduct of the personal enemies of the Bm, whose du ies give way to passion, must aw our attention but that of ali those who, like teronted in seeing Spain regenerated uacer t! tional and prudently jiberal government of Queea Isa- della I. Aw affairs stand at present, nothing alarming {s probable, Reason triumphs over folly, generous pas- sion over bad pasrions, general interest over private in- terest. But sf by any chance things turned out othe: wise, (which Gcd forti¢!) {f the Spanish monaroby wei sgain menaced; it madness ss over reason, selfishress over patriotism. and evil over generotity, there is no doubt that the West and the majority of Spa- riards themselves would oppose such » state of things; and, as «ne of our contemporsries has justly said, no- thing could arrest the march of 100,000 men sent to. gwe vaitle to the revolution, for bed uould certainly be truer Spaniards than these wham theh woukl encounter in their path. What may be the standing of the editor of the Journal de Madrid among those who know him Tam unaware. To have mM 80 lately an unitra- democrat, and now to figure as an ultra-imperialist, is no great recommendation. There are two fac~ tions in particular who remain the implacable enemies of the Spanish government—the revolu- tionists and the reactionists. The former, with a’ their madness, I hardy think would apse ote call in the aid of foreign bayonets to estebltel their system; the latter would be too prond to don the livery of any one who gave thema chance-of recovering their lost position. Both are aware that nothing makes the blood of a true rd so boil in his veins as the idea of foreign in- tervention, or of an attempt to subject him to: French rule in any shape or form, whether by ans of violence under a Bona) or by orisy under an Orleans.

The Nelson Lzaminer gives glowing ac- counts of the progress of the settlement, the ex- tension of commerce, the increased area of cultiva- tion, and the improved appearance of the town. Some very fine specimens of copper ore had been found in the Dun Mountain mine. The third session of the Provisional Council of Welington was opened on Thursday, December the 27th. The Superintendent, in his opening addreas, ated the revenue for the year 1556 a8 £33,000, wich ineludes a bulance in the treasury of £15,000. ‘The cost of the several departments of ernment he dees not think will exceed £10,000; @ balance of £28,080 will thas be available for public works and undertakings. The Provisional government is rep- resented as being very popular at the present time The Melbourne correspondent of the London News, writing on the 24th of February, says:—The intelligence that England wav likely te be embroiled wtth the United States, has caused great astonish. meat, but little perplexity. We cannot, in short, believe it. A very good fe ling subsists between us and the States, which we should be sorry to see dis- turbed; but our synypativies, so far as I can judge, are sound, and we cannot but thinks that Brother Jo: | nathan has been over hasty this time.

Some curious facta are perceivable in the latest retums of land sales, as contrasted with those of previous years; but before referring to theo, it may be as well to mention that Mr. William Howitt was in error when he stated that the greater qnan- tity of the land broughs into the market "had beem Lought up by the squatters, under the pre-emptive right; on the coatrary, the truth is, that a vast quantity has been purchased by the colonists at large, who have invested freely, not only inthe neighborhood of townships, but also in eligible spots throughout the colony. From a return, which: Thave before me, it appears that the quantity of land alienvted from the crewn during the yers Acres.

Nor must the fact be taken solely as an indication of greater poverty onthe part of. the buyers at large ; indeed, this deductioa is probably litéle to be trusted, but rather as a most satisfactory proof that we are coming to our senses, and that we look moré to the actual value of the landas well as. to the value of mcney. Perhaps, also, another cause of persons being less in a hurry to compete for land under the present system, would be found to reside in the confident hope that that system is about to expire, and that the lands of this noble colony are about to be alienated on a. more equitable and ex- tensive scale. Again, the total quantity of land alienated from the crown during the lass half of 1854 and the first half of 3855 was nearly equal, viz., 101,201 acres for ths former period and 184,837. acres for the latter; but the amount rsalized during these periods was very different indeed, being not less than. £200,000., or near 50 per cent., the respective amounts being for 1854, £568,069 and for 1855 £354,657. ‘Bows lands sold from 30th June: to 3let Decem- ber, 1854:— ~ area.
