Oar Berlin Correspondence. Berwin, May 20, 1856. Arrival of Prince Windischgratz —His Mission a Political One—Embarrassing Position of Aushia—Her Unpopu- Jory with the Prussian People=The Little that is Re qpeired 0 Give Prussia the Predominance in Germany— Prevarations for the Reception of the Dowager Empress of Russia—The Snnd Ducs—Amerian Visiters to Ber- din, de , dbo. ‘East week Prince Windiscbgratz, the great bombar- lex, who acquired immortal renown by shelling his mas- ‘ter's three principal cities arrived here from Vienaa,osten- sibly for the purpose of attending the mancauvres of the Prussian Guards. Of course it was immediately rumored that be was encrusted with an important diplomatic mission, and although the Austrian official organs deny ‘thie most eatezorically, there can be no doubt that his Joerney is not unconnected with political motives. The Position cf Austria at this moment is in the highest de. gree embarrassing, and it will require all the astutencss and forethough’ of her crafty statesmen to provide against the dangers that are loomiag in no very dis- tant fature. They have thrown off the ycke of Rusria, but have to submit in exchange to the patronage of Louis Napoleon, who, in spite of the abject flattery with which they seek to propitiate him, is likely to prove m@ harder and more exacting taskmaster than the zr, and in whom, in case 0’ an explosion in Italy, they are by no means rure whether they wou'd fand a friend or an enemy. No wonder, therefore, feat they should be fishing for ether alliances, and articularly for that of Prussia, a Power they inva miably apply to when they are in difficulties, though hey treat her de havteur bas, and enceavor to injure her ‘ae wueb as possfble whenever they think 1t can be done with impunity. In April, 1854, they had concluded treaty with Prossie, by which the latter bound herself @uring the continuance of the Oriental difficulty, to maintain the integrity of the imperial dominions, and to comsider any attack upom them as directed against herself. This convention, which wouid have been equally available ciber against Russia or France, ex- nized with the peace of March 30, and it would evidently be » masterstroke of policy if Austria could succeed in renewing it for an indefinite pericd. Very probably Prinee Windischgratz, who is a perwna grata at this @ourt, and related to the King by marriage, bas been in- structed to sound the Cabinet of Berlin on this subject, ‘and to see what chances such a preject has of being favorably reesived; bu‘, though treated with the utmost politeness, and even ccrdiality, he has very little pros- pect of attaining the object of his mission. Prussia has mot forgotten the conduct of Austria duriog the Inte crisis, the reorMection of which has just been vevived by the treaty of the 15th of April, concluded by ‘the Court of Vienna without the knowledge and behind the beck of their quondam ally;and the King and hia ‘Ministers are too happy to be released from engagementa entered into inadvertently, to think of renewing them in a hurry. Besides this, the unpopularity of Austria is mow at its height, and her influence in Germany is paralyzed in the same proportion as that of Prussia is imereased. The effects of the Concordat have alarmed the ‘whole Piotestant pepuiation; even enlightened Catholics eancet but lock with apprehension on the encroachments of a domineering priesthood,who are endeavoring to revive the prastices of the dark ages im the nineteencn century; and the Austrian rulers, who had fondly gos wo atrengthen their porition by a close alilance with Rome, find themselves in the micst of a general efferveicen: which adds to the numerous diffieuities they are laboring under. Ip this country the system of reaction has never ‘been eariied 20 far as in Austria; there is still a shadow of civil, and stolerasie share of religions, liberty existing, and it government were only to make some concessions 40 pubiie cpinton, to remove a few obnoxious in- @ivituals, anc to’ relieve the people trom those ey Sere which cause almost ae much ing as setusl oppre'sion, and for creating which the late President Hinckeldey had an inexhaustiols talent, the predominance of Prassis in Germany would noon be as undisputed as when the imperial crown wenta Degging to Frederick William [V., and Francis Josep = imploring Muscovi'e aif to reseat him on his totter- ing throne. At court great preparatiors are beirg made for the eeeption ot the King’s sister, the Dowager Empresa of Russia. Her state of health is #0 bad that she can on'y ‘travel by easy stages, and at ore time it was thought whe would have to give up the journey altogether; but mow she sppeare to have rallied alittie. A telegraphic despatch announced her departure from St. Petersburg om the 14th inst., and she is ex; here towards the nd of the week. The King, though suffering himself from indiaposition, has left for Konignberg to meet her, and itis not unlikely he may take the opportunity to bave an interview with his nephew, the Emperor Alexan- who is goivg to Warsaw to receive the homage of Poles, and to show them that, in spite cf all the hopes held out to them by the Western Powers, they have no der, the rompect of encay from the dominion of Russia. Ser o many ppointments they seem, in- ceod, to have resigned themselves, to their fate. The new Czar even enjoys a kind of ity among them, and they listen with eagerness of pede re of a happier future, which, in alt prabe- Dility, are doomed to turn out as celusive as their former | aspirations, Here, at least, a radical coange in the Kus sian system of government meets with very li'tle credit, and ‘ances of Lord Palmerston that Russia hea abandoned her traditional policy and ker Gizement, end will turn her atiention exclusively to in fernal improvements aud the pacific pursuits of ecommeree and indusiry, are looked upon as mere cleptraps to soothe the rafiled spirits of the Pritieh vation, and induse them to acqu.esee in the ua- wa istactory termination of the war. The policy of Ras- wig Js the result of circumstances which Alexanser II, ould not alter, even if he were inclined to do so; and the check he bas just sustained is by no means decisive enough to break up ® system which has been carried out with much unilinghing perseverance by his predsces- Great to the lace Emperor RKicholes.

By the last accounts from ( on, Ruania, Sweden and Norway have declared their ingness to accept the capiteization project of Denmark, provided it i agreed to by all the other Powers interested. The consent of Prussia may be calculated upon with tolerable certainty, and the emailer German 5 ates will follow her example. The capttalization or redemption of the Sound duty, sceording to the Danish proposal, would be of feoted chiefly at the expense of Great Britain and Rasen, and the quota of the Uni'ed Ssates would be quite ine gniti in proportion; nevertheless, ‘i i woggested that the British ministry mi be waittrg to se whats atepy will bo taken | y | th by America, 19 ordes to participste ia the advantages of any ogreement which the elvquence of Mr. slarey or the threa'e of wx, Piarce tosy succes? im excortieg from tbe Unfortunately, the el qcenoe of Mr, Marcy te 9 are re Danes.

The more! study and eom- prebend them, the more clearly do I perceive the imme, sity of the influence which Russia now promises to exer- else on the destiny of mankind. My opinions as to what the precise character of that ixfluence is most likely to prove, are already pretty well fixed, but I shall refrain from giving them at present, as the limita of « letter will not admit of my accompanying them with the facts and reasons on which they are based. Avoiding all specula tion, I will simply give you s few rambling facts and ob servations, lsaviog your readers to draw thelr own con clusions therefrem. This city ia in itself standing and triumphant refata- tion of all the pit!ful and manifold misrepresentationa which bave been eo assiduously circulated in relation to everything connected with the country. Ite squares, streets, palaces, qusys, churches, monu ments, public institutions, and, in abert, ell in, about, and belonging to it, are on a scale of graud and imposing msgnuitude which is nowhere else to be found. Youare met on all sides, go where you will, with such a same- ess of magnificence that particularization seems atmos: idle. The entire absense of wretehedness among the humblest portion of the population has to me, however, been, above and beyond all else, the highest source of gratification and astonishment. No such thing as equalia wretchedness exists. Im this respeci—the most really amportant of all—no city, at home or abroad, excepting, perhaps, Constantinople, will for « moment compase with it. For more than two montha I have traversed every portion of St. Petersburg end the adja- cent islands, curing a] hours of the day and ht, and have felt no little numiliation at the reflection that des- ‘potism should have here done so mueh more for the toil: ing poor than they have ever yet accomplisned for thea- selves, ¢ven uncer curown glorious insti:oiioas, which fally empower them to become their own regenerators. There is not a lane, alley, or nerrow or dirty street in the whole place; and the cheerful gaiety whieh throngs and enlrvens the gardens, prom'nent streets, quays and squarer, though not 1o be compared with Paris—the world bas, and never had, but one Paris—is in striking and pleasing contrast to the plodcing daimess whish moves through the thorough’ares of London. I was here, and in several of the other cities and towns of Northern Rus- sia, for some time before peace was ratified, and can safe- jy sey that if the people or business of the country had been much affestea by the war, they must have been in a most gratifying condition before it commeaced, and the injury produced must have become chronic, as the return of peace has brought no visible change beyond the gene- ral murmur of ciscon tent with whicn its announcement w it first received. Russians—more particularly the mea who eoatro: the empire—are not enthusiasts about mere idle, fruit- lees glory. They care comparatively little about opinions, and attach but slight importance to anything but results, I was present when the Kmperor announced the ratitica- tion of peace to the army, in front of the Winter Palace, and i: seemed to fall &® wet blanket upon both the troops and the immense multitude ;resent. The latter immeciately dispersed in sulien si'ence. The people, who sre somewhat slow in getting into anything, are much dissatisfied with the termination 0” hortijities, but the knowing snes chuckle quietly ovac the result. The war has only mace Eustis fally conscions of herown immense st: eogth and exhaustless resources, while ats remarkably cheap cost, it has unfolded to ber all her imperfections and deficiencies, and these—with s wise pru- dence and practizal good sente—she has already earnestly devotea herseli to correcting. Never was the advantage which s great, producing, self-sustaixing country pos recsen in time of war over all otters, made more atriking- ly manifest, and this difference would have increased with the prolongation of the struggle. The paper por- tion of the eu:rency remained taroughout a: par, and specie was instantly obtained, as now, by presenting the notes at the bank. Provisins of every kind were in abundance and exceedingly cheap, and all branches of trade and manufactare—ioreign commerce alone except- ing—prospered with, in many cases, more than their usual ity. Railroads are now about to be constructed to all the leading points of the empire. That from this city to Moscow (over four hundred miles), which has besa in operation for revera) years, is the finest in the world. The country being so level, offers every facility for that species of ecmmunication, and instead ot running « road in every cirection where there is ® good sized town to tap, they adopt the sensible plan of carrying them in direct line ond leaving the town to either come to them or give way to new and more enterprising rivais. The work on the road from Moscow te Warsaw will now be prosecu‘ed with the utmost vigor, and thore trom the former place to (: (with s branch to the Crimes), and to the Caspian sea, by meeting the Volga at Saratou will soon be com- menced. | When these and others are finished, Russia will ave no need of immense naval arsenals on the coast, but will keep them in the interior, where no foreign foe will be likely to trouble them much, and send the material bp Suererian tobe s that byes Saapolnel been gain of hercpponents in rendering Sebastopol a pare: commeretal port. The ‘neutralization of the Bea” has been quite as meaningless, for it was, in fact, neutral before the war; and as there is ncthing said ia the terms of peace about the Sea of Azof, the Russians are left en- poe ee to butid, eyuip and keep as many a there as they pleared, amd from thence float them down on “‘camels’’ into it whenever their presence is required. have been several grand reviews here lately— one nearly every Sunday—but that to-day, on the Champ de Marr, was truly ‘iant and magniticent. The Em- peror, attenced by an immense and glitvering staff, re- viewed about # hundred thousand of the Guards, infantry, cavalry and artillery. Many of the dresses wora by the officers were gorgeous beyond description; and as far as fine uniforms, precision of movement and finished disct- pline were concerned, they were unsurpassed and unsur- ble. An instinctive love of eontlict is, however, of infini'ely more import than all these combined in constituting men really effective soldiers. The horses here are beyond all comperison the best and most peau- *ifal in existence, About this there are no two opinions. livery effort ia betog made to take the wood-like stiffness out of the troops, by introducing the loose rollicking atyle peculiar tothe French, It may succeed to a cer tain extent by and by, but aa yet the imitation is rather of the scrry ant bogus order. ‘The Empress Dowager is going to visit ltely.

Now that the Byzantioe projects of the pare rors of Russia are necessarily given up, at any rate for sore time to come, the nation seems to turn its eyes to the extreme North, According to all accounts from the abores cfthe White Sea, the population there contains a hardy, courageous race of men, tor the developement of whoie seafaring instincts hitherto little or mothing has been done, and the land in those parts is moreover covered with the finest ship bui:ding timber. Thegovern- ment appears to be ai fully alive to these circumstances as the people at larg’, ana even before the war had cem- mencec had empowered @ naval officer to cut timber in the woods on the Pe'chora on his own account, agreeing to take their supply from him at fixed prices. This plan, which eeems to have been impeded by the war, is now betrg resumed with energy. It promises a good deal for the interests of hyd:ography and the knowledge of the coasts of the WhiteSea, and is another instavee of the goodwill of the government to commit the cevelopemen: of the natural treasures of the country to the assiduity ot private speculation.

In Seware, May 29. 1850. ‘The mersage of the President informing Congress that he had ceared to bold interovurse wita ‘he Minister Pienipotentiary of Great Briain having been read, to- ner with the Inst communication of Mr. Marcy 0 lr.

Mr. Mason moved that the messsgs and acso npanyiog documents be re'erred to the Commitive on Foreign Ne- laiens, avd te printed, Mr. Cass tai —I have listenea with plearare to the reading of the cespateh of the Secretary of Hiate. Itina powerful and conclusive analysis of tae whole case. It ‘apreare to me that the honor of the country imperatively required the Gismissal of thie officer. My desire ‘s to have the facts spread before the people. ‘Mr. Mason—-1 read, as doubtless other Senators did, ‘great care anc deliberation, the despatch which th Brien Secretary for Foreign ‘Affairs, Lord Ciarencon, bas written m reply to the demand mi y hod \- ment for the recall of Mr. Crampton, the British Minis. ter, and to whicu the despateh of Mr. Marcy, just read at your table, isan answer. I was gratified to fing that ie Tone was temperate, courteous and conciliatory. It con. taias a ful unreserved and unquaidificd disclaimer of ali intended « flence on the part of the British govern- ment, coushea in language which s‘ruck me as igoonlianty. empha ic and weil suited to the occasion. So asthe act of 1% minister here was concerned, the despatsh }, in sudsianee, that the contents of Mr. Maroy’s ‘eF bai been made known to him for tue purpose of explena'ion, and that his own government was satisfied that their Minister had no desire or porpuee to commit ary infraction of our laws«r soy disrespect to our sove- reignty. The whole despatch of Lord C:arendon, aa I have raid, was co story, and, as I thought, well and justly conceived; bub it contained no special response disected to the demand of this govern- ext. The British government did not say waether it would or would not recall its Minister; and I construed it te mean thet if, as was stated in the despatch of Mr. Marcy, there yet remained an ‘im the mt that the British iniater here was unacceptable to it, they d!d not foe! themselves at liberty to int pe further. I so construed it, The very interesting and able document waich has just been read, 1am gratided to find, is of the same char- acter with the despatch to which it ia an aaswer. it, too, ia temoperate, calm and conciliatory. It receiver, in the spirit in which it was offered, the disclaimer on the part ofthe British government, and I confess, for myself I thought itane, After recapitulstiug the proofs impii- caung the British Minis'er bere in acta ci:courteous to the country, which, whether so designed or not, were in deregation of the sovereignty of ths coun‘ry, it waa ia tenaed, as] understand, to show the 8 itish government that our self respect required the original demand should be carried into execution. The British government was therefore infurmed ‘hat the British Minisver contiaurd unscceptadle in this country, without acy imputstions on hiro as a gentieran or as & Miaister represen.ing in his own judgment, as he ccnsidered, in the best manner, the inteverts of bis own country. Great Britain has been informed that, because of therelations which he had estab- lished here, he must continue unacceptable to us, aud probably could not be useful to his own government. While i know, trom the temper ot our people, and I believe I kaow from the dis- positions of tbe present administration, mohing could be further irom tosir p ¢ or deaiga than to commit any clscourtesy to the Britieh government, I hope, fcom the character of the corresponuence, no dissourtesy will bo inferred. [cam see none in the teraper of the paper, aod Icap see none in the occasion; but I am free to deciare as a Senator (and thus participating in tne government) that, under the circumstances existing, under the proo!s cunnegjing we Britian Minister with the enlistments for the foreign legion of Great Britam, however he msy not bave arsigned tt—and I take his disclatmer as it has been given to us, however he may hava designed to complicate himself with a question which would be oflvnsive to our country or @ disregard of cur laws—the fact remains that he did soyand there is no alternative on the part of this government but to die- pense with his further resideace among us.

Tne despatch isa importent one. I have already expressed my gratification at its tenor, atits logical purport, and at ite general character. It is w itten with great power, and in a tone of courtesy becoming our governmeat in its di- plomatic intercourse. The suepension or interruption of dipicms fe relations}betv cen two countries is a very orci- nary event in the intercouse of mations, and cannot lead to war unless one or the other of the parties is determined upon that extreme measure. No just cause of war can arise ont of such an act. Inthe first place, the Britten gevernemeat should not visit its displeasure upon our Minister in Loncon by dismisatngfoim. The-e is no pre ext for it. It is, I believe, the comity of nations that,when a minister is cffensive to the government to which he is accredited be should be recailed. Aaambassador, who it a minister ofthe bignest grade, and represen's, as it is faid, the persum of une sovereign, is never sent to a Euro- pean government without,fin the first instance, ascertain: ing it he wil, be acceptabie. This is the common Jaw of diplomacy. Leavirg every thirg elee out of view, I thiuk the moment ike British government ascertained that Mr. Crampion was unacceptable to the government and p* ple cf this country, it shoud at once heve cherfully re- called him; but it has not seen proper to do this, and now Mr. Crampton leaves here at the desire sf our gov- erument. I repeat, the suspension of diplomatic reia- ticus is ® very ordinary occurrence in nations! iater- coure. Wh:n I was commissioned as Minister to France 19 1836, there had been no dipicmatic intercourse be- tween cs and France for perhaps two years previously. L did rot go to France at once. I was instructed by Gene- 1a} Jackson to go to England, and I went there and re- mained unti], through the British government, it was ascertained that it would be le to the French goverzinent to receive a Minister from the United States T remained there until that answer came, and the auawer was a very courieous one, and J immediately repaired to Paria, axa was well satisfied with my reception I mere- alluce to this circumstance to show that the suspen- ion of diplomatic relations should not give serious cause of apprenengion to any man in this country. The cese ct the ciemissal of the British Minister in Spain is a very recent and well kaown event. That act gave no serious ¢ffence to the British government. review the clroumatances. Tne oceurrence is a well known diplomatic fact. Tbe Spanish government sent tre Britian Minister out ef the country, and without the observance of much courtesy. England herself has sent an ambaseador home to his country under a guard. Trepeat, unlees England wants to goto war wita us, no injury will result from the termination of the diplo matic services of Mr. Crampton. If she is determined on war, and seeks only @ pretext, that is another question. Ido not believe ehe does, and have no apprehension of the reeult. | now suggest that ten thonsand copies of this document be printed, as it is a very important one, ard will be read with interest by the American people. Mr. Prart —Does the motion isclude the whole corres pondenceY Mr, Cass,—The despatch of Mr. Marcy. Mr. Mason.—I think it would be beter to have anex- tra number of the whole correspondence ee. ‘Mr. Cass —Perhaps 0; it is an important eleceut of hiatory, and 1t is too extensive to be published§ by pri- vate enterprise, 1] move, then, for the printing ot ten thousand extra copi-s of all the documents. ‘Tue Paesiinc Orricer, (Mr. Foot in the chatr,)—Under the rule of the Senate the motion for printing the extra numbers will go to the Committee on Printing. Mr. Toomps— While I agree with the honorable Senator from Michigan, that tbe dismissal of the Britisn Minister ces not necessarily lead to a disturbance of our peacetul relations with Grea} Britain, I must express my regret that the mater has taken this course. Our government, having been satisfied, as it acknowledges, wita the repre- sentatlons of Great Britain upon the question in diepate, ought to have aliowed the British Minister to remain as 8 necessary consequence. It is in vain for this govern- ment to say that the subject in dispute is satisiactorily explained; to declare that the apology or explanation of the British government is sccepted, and then to go on and remove the minister who was the very asion of the dispute. While I agree with our government that the explanation waa sufficient, [think they greatly erred, after cbtaining a sufficient exp'anation frum the British government, mn interrupting the diplomatic intercourse gree with the honorable Senator at, what I said on @ former occasion, by this government was im not send- Mr. Cass—I canzo' from Georgia. I the error commit' ing away Mr. Crampton as soon as his conduct was ascer wined. I think it anould nave been done the very mo- ment our government found that he was an accessory tw these proceedings. That error has, however, been jired by the present measure, which | think is fully justified by the circumstenses. If 1 understand it, for} seard somewhat indistiactly, Mr. Marcy hes seid with dus courtesy, that our government exonerates tt British government from the intention of vioiating ou: laws, but be does not exonerate Mr. Crampton. The responsibility of the minister is to his own government, ‘That government bas not choren to recalt him. He is, under the present circumstances, an unacceptable diplomatic agent—disqualitied to manage the concerns between thet country and ours. He has placed himself in such ® porition that he is unacceptable to the Ame- rican government and people. Our government has credited tne disclaimer of the British government of any intention to vioia'e our Jaws or our soverigaty, and, In in my opinion, hax gone quite as far, to say tne least of it, as the fagtng but yet Mr. Crampton has placed himself in» very different predicament. Toe mis.orinu is thet in our diplomatic intercourse with Foglaud su is prone to adopt a yecabalary of her own, or rather to afhx new meanings to old words. She tolls us, in el ct, that “enlistment” now does not mean, as it formerly oid, enlistment for military rervices, and as common senve tells you it coes, but th means hiring a min to perform ® reilroad contract. Ic is am illustra tion of the position that ‘occupy’? does mot me oceupy, but means that you shall not hereatter anquire land. ¥f, Mr. Presicent, you should make # contract that after a given day you will no: occupy any land ina tain district, one would suppose It means what it exprens- ed, snd that after that day you must cease your ocsupe tion there, Not so, says the British goveroment; it means quite another thing—that you shall not thoreatter acquire any iand within the prohibited district, but you may hold what you previously possessed; or. in other words, that occupation means acquisition. Mniistment han now got to be a different thing trom what it formerly was, Weare told that it l# no violation of our laws or rovereignty to hire men, and to pay their expenses to go to Haiifax, under the pretext of «railroad contract, and with the anderstancing that they are then to en ist into the Britieh army. If the law can be thus avoided, i: 14 not worth astraw. I think that, under the olreumstausen which have been developed, Mr. Crampton ix useless in this country asa diplomatic agent. I say this without the Jeast /ntention of uttering ® harsh word in relation to that gentlemen, who no doubt thought he was serving hig own country while violating the laws of ours; but 1 epest, that the moment this government informed inat of Great Britein that its Minister here was unaccestanle, he should baye bee gracefully witadrawa, without hee tation and without eomplaint, Mr. Toowns—I concur in the last remark of the Senator from Michigan; but we bare got beyond that peiny and a inte ie san cn sartomnanens, Whe Lay hat tore it was 0 iF pose of expressing 1m: probaticn o/ thie ‘wafor! anave result of the Soatcove y.

I have heretofore refrained from an €xpresrion of opinion on this subject, because the nego tiations were g.ing and now that they have bern terminated, | take this occasion te express my disappro- Da‘ion of the construction placed by our own government on the neutrality laws of the United States. Mr, BuTien—! ik, with the Senator trom Georgia, it is very unfortuna'e that the Brittsh Minister hes been di:missed now, after this protracted correspondence. During the time whea the allies and Russie were en- g2g¢¢ in war It was highly proper for the United States pte RAE AS SE AGNSIN OUR Gore, people in ip contreversy, especially, in my opinion, as we reason at that time to coneiliate, or at least not to the Russian government. After that ooca- sion has passed, when the subject has been lei dis. oussed, and everything is on the ebb, I think this course is barcly proper. Ido net say that the British govern. ment has a right to take exception to it, but! would much prefer o have had the thinz done at once or not at all Ihnow no reason why the two governments should commercial difficulties and retalia! be involved in each ees ia wor. ie Foe weet 5 © Ba Gree 1 68 regara it as a great cal 3 Ido ao!

Iam ‘to say that such ismy Soca: I know the sege of my friend from Michigan wilt go very far, and his remarks may make an im- pression on the public mind in Great Britain where mine perbaps will never even drop. 1 do not say that our go- Yerpmient is not justified; T-only say that 7 think it fas chosen a very inop; time. s0N— 1 do not mean to contiague this conversa- tion—for it is such—farthcr than to add a very few words. T understood the Senator from Georgia te say that, in his jucgment, the Iawa of the Unived States had not been ‘violated by the acts of the British Minister in the enlist- ment mat er. Mr. Toomns—Yees. sir. Mr. Mazox—It his Satgmens be right, of course there was nct only no ground for dismissing the Minister, but no ground whatever for complaint. It is, then, a ques- tion of fact which #ill go to the country, and the coun- try will decide whether the Senator from Georgia has taken a correct view cf the facts as shown by the evi dence, or whether the correct view has been taken by the administration, But I suppose the Senator from Geor- gia will sdmit that if the tact be otherwise, and ifthe Britieh Minister, by his concuct here, did violate the lave of this country, the action of our government upon it, whether delayed too long or not, was rigatful. L bave now @ word to say in reterence to what has fallen from the Senator trom South Carolina, who, I know, lccks aa closely ag &ny other Senator to the honor ofthe country. He sayshe thivks tne conduc: of the cvernment may be justified. Sir, if the government has lone right, {18 conduct is to be sustained and applauded, This is the view which I take of it. The Senator from South Carolina says the time had gone va the war was over, the oocasion for these enlistments had ended, the public mind had assumed a more oomtletoey ane, and nat, because of the delays, it should have mn looked on rather asa by gone affair. Sir, let the Senator re- member that the demand for the recall of this Minister was made in & despatch dated at Washington on the 28:h of December last, which reached the British government in about ten or tweive deys at the farthest, and the reply was ca ed on the 80th day of April. About four months elapsed between the date of the demand and the date of the reply. During that period ot four months the war wasendec. We were not infurmed of the result of this demand until four months had thus elapsed. The Bel- tish government during that time sent to Mr. Crampton to get his explanation, and was in negotiatiog the All this was sat ty explained as cause certainly not responsiole as! under- to our paty. Ey show that, so far as the British government are concern- ed, it has mot been done, They regret that we should have entertained auch an opinion. y disclatm it. It is yor ee done on the part of British government —periestly a table to our ment, and ie so de- clared most explicitly. As tothe acts of the British Mi- nister here. the British government co no more than say that the Mivister disclaimed sucha purpose to them. Our A inttae ‘are satisfied that, although the Minis- ter did disclaim it, and doubtless disclaimed it asa tair and honorable man—I do not mean to question that—the facts remain proven to this government showing that he did violate our laws. In my judgment, therefore, if this government had tailed to dismiss the British Minister, the British government failing to recall him, they would bave been derelict in their duty. Mr. Cass.—Mr, President, in my opinion we owed it to our position among the nations o: the world to dismiss Mr. Crampton. We could not have maiatained our cha- racter without doing it. The Powers of Europe were watching our course. We demanded his recall when Eng- Jand was epgsged in war; we got no satisfactory answer. The facts are all cisclosea now in time of peace, when the heavy pressure on Kpgiaad is removes; and for one, ag an American, I do not want it ssid that we made a de- mana when England was engaged in a mighty conflict, ,and now, when her difficulties are removed, abandoned ‘the just reparation we demanded. In my opinion we should have received the contumely of the world if we hhad not bromert this matter toits prereat consummation. The honcrsble Senator from Georgia says there was no justification for this course. sir, I believe there is not a nation of Christendom, and hardly a Moh@mmedan or ® pagan ope wit \in the verge of civilization, which does nos prohibit the enlistment of its inhabitants within its dominions, whether in the form ofa railroad contract or @ war contract, for the purpose of hostile operations egainst a friendly Power. That we did so was perfectly well known to the British government and to Mr. Cramp- ton from the commencement of the recent European war. In fact, it appears by the report of the Department of State that when the war first broke out the secretary explain- he French and British ministers, who ealled upon him tog r to announce that event. our duty and our policy under the circumstances, and believe furnished them ait copes ot our statate upon thi Is was sent by the British minister to his government; so that ignorance in this case cannot be offere: an ex- cuse. After awhile ee got pressed for men; she had more money than soldiers. Then was contrived what was called the foreiga enlistment bill, for the purpose of procuring recruits tor her armies in foreign countries. ‘Abie men in Eog'and opposed to the ministry, such as Mr. Cobden and others, warned Parliament of the difficul- tues to which that measure would lead. It has led pre- cisely as Mr. Cobden had foretoid, into serious difficulties with us, The British government raid they were told that men in this country wanted to go to the Crimes, Men may bave been deiuded into that servise; but for them it was & most unfortunate delusion. The proposition un- doubiediy went from the British minister here, and, I havepo question, was the result of his interviews with per- sons who desired to mansge the affair for their own person- aladvantager. Any man in this country, seriously intend. ing to leave It to jo'n the Britieh army in the Crimea ag a private, would nave been fitter for an insane hospital than for a warlike camp—here, free, comfortable, and, if industrious, well paid, and with an encouraging future before him; there—but [ need not what was before him but death. The British government may have been deceived; how Mr. Crampton could be with his knowledge of our country is incomprehensible to mi ordina- Ty sagacity in the men at the head of mi! Nera Ronee in gland ought to have saved them from this faise move- ment—ought to bave taught them that this was no coun- try to come to recruit men for European armi The expense in proportion to the success was enormous, and will, 1 he pe, furnish a lesson of precaution for the fature, What was the operation of this matter? No candid man, berg od the facts as disclosed in the Philadelphia trials and otherwise, can doubt that the true purport of the instructions was this:—Get men im the United States, but do not get caught; take care and avoid any violation of their laws; but the men you must get; eall them rairoad laborers, and send them to Halifax under a con- tract toenlist there, and provide them with their passage. This ia the plain English of the matter when divested of its diplomatic garb. No man can look over the whole papers and read them without being satisfied that this is so. The British government knew that the proceeding was egaingt our laws, as @ similar proceeding would have been against their own. Mr. Crampton knew it, Of course we are ignorant of the Inngusge of the instructions, but their purport is eufficiently disclored by the occurrences, Do not get caught was the practioa injunction. But some of the offenders have been canghe; and | repeat tha: our national character and our sianding among the nations of the world require that Mr. Crampton should return home by the act of this government, as he has not been cajled home, as he shouid have been, by the act of nis own. Mr. Toowns.—I hed not intended. by the tew words which I uitered siroply as an expression of my own opi- pion, to craw out this debate and evcke tne comments of the honoxab/e Senator from Michigan. J am sfraid that the principle upon which the Senator from Michigan hee placed this matter is the very one on which our g°ver nt has acted. It is one which I heartily disapprove o ator seys that we could not maintain ourselves vefore the nations of the worl1 il we made @ deman’ on Fogiand when she was under the pressure of war, aud then abandoned it when peace was reatored. —State the whole of my proposition, if the pleases, Mr. Toomns—I will do #0; or the Senator can doit him- velit. Mr. Case—I did not say that that was the reason. | said distinetly that the acta of her Minister had injured our sovereignty and nationality, end now this 18 not the Lime to give it up. Mr. Toonne—At any rate the Senator intimated that that might be a reason. I say itis a reason which ought uot to operate upon ® great governmen: like this.

Iam afraid thet tt has rerulted from an idea of what otner people migat think as to our maintenance of our national honor. [n my judgment there is a rater rule tor maintaining na tional honor.

Atmospheric Ohanges—Changes of Atmos- — phere—Pablic Health, TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Thave read in the Huratp, within a few days, remarks. upon the sudden change of temperature, from 24th to 26th of May ult., forty-eight (48) degrees, as being very great, and as injurious to health. Tne same number of. the Hepazp contains a statement of the bills of mortality in New York for that week, showing that the deaths were fewer than usual. Such is the uniform result of such changes. It is not the suddenness of change nor the great difference in the degrees of temperature within the twenty-fcur or forty-eight hours that constitute the diffi- culty experienced as to health, but it is the bad quality of the changed air, the bad quality of which produces sickness. I will state some few facts in illustration -— Franconia, New Hampshire, celebrated for its ex- traordipary cold atmosphere, has the most changeable temperature of any place with which weare in. lar correspondence. The changes there are more more frequent, and of greater extent than elsewhere, ao yet there is no town ia New England which contains as Ca s seonor ton. of Pceeccerrt over Frosh rs of portion population as does ti wa. “wt Calling wood, near Melbourne, Australia, latitude — South, longitude — East, the temperature is changeable. Mv records from there show temperature ‘of (128) one hundred snd twenty-eight degrees in the shade, nd changes of thirty degrees in nxty minutes, and — degrees in — hours; and yet theinhabitants ere healthy, there being but little Henening. intenar heat of the atmosphere does not affect health injurieusly when thunder and lightning are absent, and 60 with intense cold. In Australia, the temperature rises #9 high tm the sun bat iron becomes so heated as to be unfit to beheld in be neked hand—and the opposite, the most intense cold a“ ae Poles renders iron unsafe to be taken in the naked and. Our thermometrical records and records of natural phenomena cover a long series of years, and, compared with the bills of mortality for the same years, afford proofs that are conclusive as to the little effect of sudden ‘and great changes upom public health. The sudden ehange is beneficial and not injurious to health. ‘The heat of Australis, in our climates, would luce eases of coup de soliel almost withons ‘mi ne such results are experienced. ‘The dairyman, the butcher ‘and the brewer! each can tell you that there are states of atmosphere, when thun. der is heard cellar, meat a) fermentation. Here are facts that need mo argument. They are mute witnesses, but their united testimony ie convincing and conclusive. Will not milk, meat and beer, in the stomach of « hu- men being, become affected by the same cause? In 1832, there were three weeks (including the two last deys of July and the first of August) in which the cases of cholera were more numerous in New York city and the mortality more appalling than at amy other pe- Thod;and during these thkee fearful weets, New York city was visited by six fearful and terrific thuader storms; the city trembied with the crash of broken thuncerbolta, and the air was saturated with disso.ved lightning. In these six storms, eleven (11) several places in the city. were struck by lighwning—s greater numoer than I ever knew of in « single seseon. ‘The “potato rot” results from thunder storms, while the milk of the root isin the right state to be affected Itis not every thunder storm that changes mitk, that spoils fresh meat, or suspends fermentation, nor is it every thunder storm that destroys the potato. itato saturated with frost changes and becomes patrid im the same way as a potato saturated with lightning. The rose cut down by the breath of frost loses ite aroma, but not so when cut down wiih the scythe, ‘The atmosphere of the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, the greatest cave yet discovered on our earth, presents in its temperatures perfect and complete eculllbriu In the dry avenues of the cave, which are mules in ex- tent, the temperature is at fiftynine (59) degrees of Fahrenheit summer and winter.
