On the other head, a number of journals are pointing te, the fe:zous Ostend manifesto, to which his y:ame ts attached, and in which it fe urged that, the very existence of the United States invol'ves the political necessity of ‘wrest- ing” Oube fromSpain in the event of a refusal on the pert ofthat Power te sell it to them for a fixed sum ef money. This manifesto—the ebvioes tendeacy of which was to plunge the "United States into a sudden war with Spain and Ser allieg—is attempted to be explained ‘awey' by Mr. Buchanan’s friends, who urge that the contingency it contemplated is yet'distant. ‘We suspect, on the contrary, that it was not ‘intended to re‘er to ang distant contingency; bat that a perfect and-complete history of Mr. ‘Pierre'Soul:’s mission to Spain, his negotia- ‘tions, his movements and his private opera- tions, both at Washiagton and in Europe, would tend to show that the Ostend confer ence and manifesto were the beginning of a plan cf operations that were expected to lead, and-would really have led, to most remarka- ble results and complications between the ‘United States and Evrope, and would perhaps have caused a revolution of enormous extent, invotving both continents in war. -It is well known in diplomatic circles at ‘Washington that when M. Pierre Sowls was appointed Minister 40 Spain by the President, out. jo. 167 NIBLO'R GARDEN, Bi Youne HENGLER ON THE Ti alway—Tue Four Lovans— t ROPE~PONGO.

Mr. Cashing was perhaps @ party to the scheme; Mr. Marcy was not, but ‘M.Boul‘ never imagined that he world, as Secretary of State, raise any objection to the . policy agreed upon between the President and himeelf. The plan was this:—M. Soul: was authorized bybis government to-offer the government of Spain one hundred or-cne hundred and twenty millions of dollars for Cuba. He was algo in- steucted to demand immediate redress for the numerous outrages committed by Spanish ves- sele.off and near Caba.cn American commerce. On-the first point his instructions were com- plete when he sailed; he took them out with him. On the second, they were delayed till after-he had gone, ia order to suit the conve- nienee of Marcy. Meanwhile Soul‘ sailed for Bcrope. In London, -he had repeated in- terviews with the members of the Revolution- ary Committee—Mazziai, Ledru Rollin, Kossuth —and with their advice and.acaistance, the plan of opesctions he was to carry out was ex- panded. The United States were to be used as a fulcrum on which the revclationary lever was to rast; the crisis of the Eastern war was to be turned to account, and svhile the three leading Powers were engaged on the Black Sea, the whete of Western Europe was to be roused, and &hcown into a general blaze. In puranance of this scheme, the American Government calculated that Spain world refuse .to grant the demanded reparation for outrages on American commerce. This happozing, an expedition was to be instantly fitted out ia the United States, and Cuba seized as mate- -Tigl guarantee for the reparation due ; jest on the «ame principle es the Principalities were sejzed by Russia axe material guarantee for the consent of Turkey to her terms. A secret treaty was well known to exist between Eng- land, France and Spain, securing to the latter the unmelested possession of Cuba, especially against the United States; this treaty would compel the maritime Powers to take up a hos- tile position in reference te the United States ; and this would ina moment interrupt all com- merce and friendly intercourse between the United States and the Western coast of Ea- rope. The supplies of breadstuffs and cotton from America being suddenly stopped, the masses both in England and France would, it was expected, be precipitated into insurrection and revolution. Such was the plan of operations conceived by Mazzini, Kossuth, Ledru Rollin and their associates, in combination with the movement of Soulé. In order to bring the Pierce-Marcy administration to take the first important step in this matter—namely, to break the peace toward Spain, and seize Cuba as a material guarantee—it was necessary to procure the concurrence of the American Ministers in Paris and London in some general principles looking to euch a contingency. Hence the necessity for the Conference. About the same time Mr. Daniel Sickles, a shrewd politician, was ap- pointed secretary to Mr. Buchanan at London. Mr. George N. Sanders, a politician of the same school, and a man of strong revolution- ary tendencies, was appointed Consul to Lon- don. Mr. Piatt, of Cincinnati, a man of singu- lar original talent, bat an ultra revolmtionist, was named Secretary to Mr. Mason at Parig They all united et the Ostend Conference, and adopieds plan which committed Messrs. Ba- cbanan and Mason to principles which covered the whole revolutionary programme, in com- bination with the schemes of Ledru Rollin, Mezzini and Koseuth.

Its platform, as laid down by ex-Governor Colby, of New of the masses of the North in regard to the first, at least, has been forcibly, if not exaggeratedly, carried out by the Convention. The most interesting, as well as the most im- portant, part of the proceedings was the presen- tation, by Live Oak George Law, on Saturday morning, of the report of the committee to whom had been referred the communication inviting fu- sion with the republican party. The report re- commended the carrying out of the idea, and the appointment of a committee to confer and co-ope- rate with a similar committee to be appoint- ed by the Convention to mect at Philadel- phia to-morrow. It was adopted. Live Oak George thereupon took the floor, and delivered a speech which, if it stood alone in connection with his name, would assuredly transmit that name to posterity as the cognomen of the representative man of the age. To be sure, its metaphors were not so elegant, its lan- guage not 60 refined, its exordium and peroration not co spirit-stirring as might have marked the oration of a Choate or of a Webster. Butnever- theless it was a great speech—a characteristic speech—strong and rough as some of his own railroad bridges, though perhaps not 60 graceful in ite outline and finish as his High Bridge at Harlem. It was a speech broad and expansive in its general scope, embracing the lumber interest of Maine and the mineral resources of California, the developement of the commerce of the great lakes, and the mighty interests of our merchants on the ocean, the great railroad from the At- lantic to the Pacific, and the less pretentious wagon road with the same destination. Aud though so grand in its outline, its details were very interestingly, if not artistically, filled in. Fancy the great railroad and steamphip pro- prietor losing for the time the consciousness of his position in the world, and breaking out into a burst of ecstacy at the recollection of the wagon road and the team, and recalling the time when say nearerste oppentiion eaority, al od aioe “the national honor should be maintained.” This | concealmente, and several thousand improper stood to have fallen in with the idea at once. he used to jog along on the dusty turnpike!

Buchanan and Mason. We were on the brink of a frightful and terri- ble convulsion, whose end no one could have told. And itis nota little singular that the very man who stood foremost in the front of the movement that was to cause this conval- sion, is the eame man who is now the foremest in the democratic party, and their candidate for the Presidency; while Soulé, Sickles and San- ders are still measurably identified with him and the engineers of the proceedings to which he owes his nomination. Forney, who, during the preparation of the plan in Earope, was en- gegedin heaping anathemas on France and England in his newspaper, on the Africaniza- tion question, in order to rouse public feeling to the war point, is one of the same coterie, and occupies the same position as the revolu- tionary leaders of those magnificent opera- This is the true explanation of the Ostend manifesto: a document whose vague expres- stens and diplomatic style conceal the plan and its consequences from all who do not Mr. Buchanan concurred in the idea of seiz- gorgeous imagination than himself, who drag- ged him into their schemes. He would still be under the guidance of the same men if ko were President, and the consequences to the inte- rests of the Southern States and the Northern, the-cemmercial interests and the planting in- terest, can be easily imagined, if these in- fiuences attained the same ascendency over the government that they possessed over the Minister to England, and no euch happy acci- dent asthe timidity of Pierce intervened to neutralize them. Mr. Buchanan’s friends may call him a conservative, as the red republicans in Europe called him a Girondist; but he was used by the enthusiastic wild revolutionaries of both countries to serve their purposes, and “Tue Convenrion—Guonce Law's Srescu.— Bor the last three days we have had in session in this city Convention representing the North- ern anti-Fillmare wing of the American party. It has been largely attended; fifteen States and three Territcrics have been represented; the de- legations have been almost all full; the delegates have been gritty and enthusiastic; and altogether —+e far as conventions ean ever be said to be true to the people—this Convention seems to have followed pretty closely in the wake of public opinion in the North. That publie opinion is one of uncompromising hostility to the present admi- nistration, and to all its nigger driving proclivi- ties; and so far as that point is concerned, the North will have no fault to find with the conven- Hampshire, is hatred—abominating hatred—to slavery, Popery and rum, said to be the bases of the administration; and certainly the feeling “ Denne en UEEEEEEERGEEEREEEEEEEen a2 ocmdl attitude toward.

That name.» every one knows to be John C. Fremont. Let the united Conventions agree as to that name, an@ they may astonish the civilized world. The masses: of the opposition demand Col. Fremont as their candidate; and whether or not he receive the nomination at Philadelphia this week, they wilh insist upon his being their candidate. Let the Convention but represent even partially the sen- timent of the masses in regard to the Presidential contest, and Mr. Fremont will be their man; but. if they be so utterly false to their constituents ae: to place any other man in nomination, they will’ be only storing up for themselves and the unfor-- tunate individual whom they may select ineffable disgrace and inevitable defeat.

Foreicn Squaproxs orr our Coasts.—It ap- pears that the Prussian government has taken steps to form a naval station on this continent, with the ostensible object of protecting the Ger- mans who yearly emigrate across the, Atlantic. The Cabinet.of Vienna his decided upon follow-, ing its example, and 9 squadron of three shipe~' of-war is about to be equipped at Trieste to. be. sent to the American coast. We are somewhat’ at a loss to understand the nature of: the protec: tion which the German governments propose tai afford their runaway subjects. We are inelined to think that the latter would prefer not being, followed by their paternal attentions, Besides, who are the enemies against whom the emigrants. are to be protected? The Know Nothings are. the only opponents from whom they have any-: thing to fear on this side of the Atlantie, and. that mysterious body cannot be conveniently bat~ tered in breach. We understand that Russia also. has it in contemplation to forma. naval station on our coast. As her object cannot be to protect: her emigrants, perhaps Colonel Shaffner, who is in the secrets of the Emperor, will be good’ enough to inform us what its real motive is, THA LATAST Naws.

Wasinctoy, June 15, 1856, The Union of this morning contains a lengthy notice of the enlistment question in the House of Lords, evidently prepared at the State Department. It contains the follow- ing significent passage:—‘‘ We repeat, and we do it with fatisfaction, that later incidents have essentially modified public impressions here with regard to Lord Clarendon, How far these new and mere favorable impressions of Lord Clarendon may deserve to be relied upon, we shall be better able to judge when we see what response he has to make to Mr, Marcy’s last two despatches to Mr. Dal-- las.” ——_—_______ News from Kansas, Sr- Lovis, June 14, 1856.

The New Bill of the Committee on Patents—Obstacte to it» Passage—Opposition of the Colt and Woodworth Interests —Slow Progress of the House Committee on Ways an@® Means—No Provavility of Action on their Report thig Session. The Senate Committee on Patents complain of the unfair treatment which their bill has reecived at the hands of & portion of the New York press. Senator James, its chair- man, denies the correctness of the deductions so unfayor- ably drawn as to the object and interest of the Dill, as nod warranted by its language or spirit. It proposes as w limit to patents, to be taken out after its Passage, the term. oftwenty years, without further extension of time, by the- Commissioner of Patents, or by any subsequent act of Congress. It cuts off from all benefit a further grant of privilege to the patents of Goodyear, Colt, Woodworth and others, who haye realized already millions by their monopoly. The committee, who reported unanimously this bill, is composed of Senators from all sections of the Union, and however imperfect may scem its phrascology or moan- ing, the committee, when the bill comes up for discus- sion, will be prepared to accept any suggestions as ap. amendment that can add to it strength and precision, Ht. is hardly probable that the bill as reported, can pass the: House, as the friends of Colt and others are prepared. with amendments, which it is their object to fasten upow it, requiring exceptions in the case of the above named« parties, and a further extension of their monopolies for twenty years. Without this is granted, the friends of the: fc will fail in securing its passage—at least so it is thought, ‘The, House Committee of Ways and Means are progress- ing al'a very slow pace. The truth is that its chairman, Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, as not the requisite talent for the part which he is appointed to, however respectable his wlents may be otherwise, He has had before him tor ‘Xamination some of the most eminently practical mom «f the country, who have retired satistied of the inability of Mr. Campbell to grapple with the important question, before him.
