Theee clothes of circumstance neither increase the dig. nity of those who wear them, nor that « ‘he personages by whom they are received. But we pssess a sense of propfety, and we believe, above all, that democracy must not depart from this sentiment. It is its duty to prove that equality can exist in all spheres, and that no difference can exist between an aristocrat and a democrat ‘when both are well bred.”’ ‘The Journal des Débais, which, from its adhesion to the Orieanist or Citizen-King branch, may be supposed to stand mid-way between republicanism and mouarchism, a; fe have certainly no great veneration for costumes, ‘no superstitious love for wigs and silver buckles, but we cannot avoid informing these American citizens that they cover themselves wid ridicule.

Society in the United States, whether we look upon it in its political or socis! aspects, presents a most perplex ing problem. Their social standard professes w be the same as ours.

This combination of opposites that we have in American society is eccentric, strange, nd monstrous. There must be some deep element of disorder, some radical weak ness or disease in the United States system, or some primordia! incongruity and jar, which can produce at once three such scenes of chaos as Kansas, Call forpia, and Nicaragua. Parent States have ge verally been reflected in their offepring: the pub he system at home has naturally migrated with the emigrant, and the colony has, in the main, been a sample of the mother country.

Ifit were necessary to prove the great aptitude poz sessed by women for the affairs of government, history would offer us famous examvies. It was under the go- vernment of two empresses that Russia, till then ob-cure and almost unknown, began to play the important rae which now belongs to her in European politics. It is to the firm and skilful Policy of the illustrious daughter ot Henry VIIL that Great Hritain owes the foundation of her power and her actual prosperity. The celebrated author of !'Esprit des Lois, (Montesqmen), not only com- bats openly the principle ou which is estabiished the Sa- be law, but he proves in certain circumstances the rule of women is preierable to that of men. “It is ‘against reason and nature,’’ said Montesquieu, ‘that wo- men sbould rule the house, as was the custom with the Egyptians, but that is not the case with reference to the government of an empire. In the first instance, the weakness in which they are born does not permit them to assume pre-eminence; in the second, their very weak ness Cndows thein with more kindness aud moderation, which tend more to create a good government than stern or ferosious virtues."’ In our opinion, the Satie law, though faulty and unjust in pgincipie, is fully justified by the re- pugnance experienced by powerful nations at being verned by foreign princes introduced by alliances. ‘hese changes o! dynasty are almost always accom: panied by sanguinary internal wars and revolutions. The collateral princes, perceiving themselves deceived in their hopes by the accession of a foreign prince, are led. to fo Ment disorders, to flatter parties, with the view of vindi cating their rights to the throne. Who ignores the sad dy nastic struggles of the white and red ros2s, in ich rished no less than eighty members of the house of tagenct? Notwithstanding the profound respect en- tertained by the English aristocracy for royality, it will be remembered with what warmth the tories, with the Duke of Wellington at their head, showed themselves hosti'e to the marriage ¢f Queen Victoria with Prince Al- bert of Saxe Coburg. Being unable to prevent that alli- ance, they pretended jo be alarmed for the orthodox church; they opposed the allowance of that Prince, and compelled the ministry to reduce its amount. Prince Ferdinand, brother of Prince Albert, encountered even more opposition on the part of the Portuguese Cortes at the period of his marriage with Queen Dona Maria da Gloria, The latter by her marriage contract had promised her husband the command of the army; the Cortes refused to adopt this arrangement. foaa Maria da Gloria dismissed the Parliament, and conferred ne prince the promised dignity. But the revolution of the @th September, 1836, compelied her to declare that, in virtne of the constitutional charter of 1820. Prince Fer. Ginand bad ceased to be commander .in-chiet of the army. It required much resignation, firmness. and an irre- jroachable conduct on the part of that prince, in order to obtain the pardon of the Portuguese nation for having adopted the title of King, which he was authorized to do, by one of the clauses of the marriage contract, imme- dintely after the birth of an hereditary prince, issue from that marriage. These historical tmcts suffice to prove the ehension= created in nations, jealous of their in- depen: , by the accession of females to the throne, in consequence of the dynastic changes which often arise from alliances contracted by them with foreign princes. ‘The maintenance of the Salic law in France has no other aim than to avoid these dynastic changes. But the re- gency of females, far from being in contradiction to the wim of the Salic law, bears oud its intentions to the full extent. Ze Not fewer than 4,500 soldiers from the Crimea arrived at Marseilles on Thursday, 26th June.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 17th of June says — It is intended very shortly to Gt out a flotilla at Cronstact to convey men and materials for the con-truction of ves- sels to the secend Russian port, which is called Nicolaiett, on the Amoor river.

Finding the theatre nightly crowded, particularly the boxes, he has complied with the earnest solicitations of many of his friends, and transformed a portion of the boxes into # dress circle, for which a higher fee will be charged; otherwise the prices remain as before, To-morrow evening he will present a pew and very exciting drama, written by himself, called the “Pirates of the Mississippi;’’ also, *Perfection,’’ and the “Married Rake ’’ Broapway Vaxixties.—The weather appears to have very little edect on the numerous frequenters of this popular thea\ re—the talented children prove so attractive that the seats are generally fillea long before the per- formances commence. The favorite play of “Ingomar”? has been withdrawn, after a fine run, for the purpose of presenting the romanic drama called the ‘‘Fort; Thieves,” which appears to have been got up with suc! care and attention as cannot fail to render it highly effec- live.

Charivs Votier and Gastion de Montheau,’ originally produced at the Varietes in March, 1854, and a favorite piece at Paris ever since. It is ope of those duodrames ja bigh life with which the French stage abounds, and its here is a geutieman, who for the pleasure of ea- joying a fetea-tete every evening with a certain lovely ‘widow, intercepts all her invitations, and thus keeps her @ perpetual prisoner, without coming to any express exy nation as to his intentions. The lady, weary of the des- potixm, at last forces him into the marriage yoke, and— that is the story. The whole affair, indeed, is a dia- logue, of which the earlier portion is occupied with the stratagems of the gentleman to secure the presence of the lady, and the latter with the triumph of the lady in entrap- ping the gentieman. In the English version, which is enti Ued “* Mr. Hughes at Home,’ the parties thas s riving for vietory are repre-cnted by Mr. Puckstone and Miss Blanche Fane, who was so succsstul in the “ Little Treasure.’ At the commencement of the piece last night the audience ~vemed highly amused—then the continuous ‘ palaver’’ began to tag a litthe—and then, thanks to the exertions of Mr. Buckstone, who caught at all the later opportunities for eflect, the pristine spirit’ was revived anew, and the announcemenent that Mr. Haghes would be “ut home’ every evening was heard with evident satisfaction.

The tribunal. how. ever, ordered MM. Dumas and Maquet to remit to M.

TO THE EDITOK OF THK WéKALD, Nuw You, July 18, 1856 ‘The Indian war is still raging in Oregon, and little hopes ere entertained on the part of the whites of its speedy and successful termination. The Indians are daily becoming more bold, daring and formidable. The soutbern portion of the Territory is almost entirely de- serted by the permanent setilors, whose houses wore burned at the first outbreak, and many of the inhabitanws cruelly butchered; and in the rich valleys of the Ump- qua, Cow, Rogue, Illinois and other rivers, where thou sands of bushels ot grain and vegetables were raised last year, this season will lay idle and uuproductive; and con- sidering the fact that mach of the northern porton of the Territory is ia the same situation, aud also that tw>- thirds of the farmers in the middle portion ars eugaged ia the volunteer service, it will be readily seen that the amount produced this year will tall far short of waat wilt be actually necessary for home consumption, Predict ing this state of affairs, with its concomitants—high price:, hard times, &c.—very many are emigratiog. This will at once show the foolish absurdity of the statements that have recently been made in many of the papers, and par- ticularly the Tribune, that the war is being kept up for the purpose ot apeculation. So fur from it that were the expenses of this war paid now at the prices agreed upoa by the officers in the different departments, Oregon would still be thousands of dollars injured by the ‘operation, and plivate individuals who have nobly respouded to their country’s callin furnishing supplies, and their own time and services, would be ‘he sufferers; to say nothiag of the many brave fellows who have been barbarously mur- dered, apd the women and children who have beou the innocent victims of the most savage cruelty—who have suffered all the agonizing torture that these red devils could invent; and the blood of these iunecent 9 cries loudly for revenge, which cannot be obtained wit ex- pense to the general government; and no far-fetched opi- nions of economy should interfere where such 4 laudable purpose is contemplated, Considering their remoteness and the many confi reports that come before the people of the States, ia tothe war, itis not to be expected that they can form any correct opinion of the true state of affairs, and theres fore the people of Oregon are disposed to treat these false reports with wore charity than they otherwise would, ‘The writer of this has lived nearly six years on the Pacifle coast, and the greater portion of the time in Oregon, and he states, without fear of successf"l contradiction, that ta nearly all the Jate wars the Indians have been the aggrs sors, by committing outrages the most gross aud inh man ‘hey are invariably treacherous, and violate their treaties with perfect impunity. In fact, they have violat- ed the stipulations of treaties so often that it 1s impossible for any one to have avy confidence in their honor or in- tegrity; and extermination, however unchristianlike it may appear, seems to be the only resort left for the protection of life aud property in that coun. try. It was reported on the first of June, in Oregon, that Col. Buchanan had effected a treaty with the Rogus River and Coast Joaians in Southern Oregon, with the ex- ception of Chief John’s tribe, which numbers about 200— at after the treaty stipulations were agreed upon, more than half of those treated with joined with John against the whites, at the same time proiessing the utmost friend- ship for them.

The report that the regulars iu that coun- try have had a severe engagement recently, contained in the papers which arrived by the last steamer, is not true.

The Insurrection in Massachusetts in 1786 and 1787. The land of steady habits has often been very unsteady. In our own time, there are very funny doings under the very shade of “Bunker's awful mount.” There are turbulent spirits there now, and so there were in days of yore. In 1786 the State of Massachusetts was so heavily burdened with debt, there was such a decline in trade, such a scarcity vf money, and such a use of foreign luxuries; there was such an immense amount of individual indebtedness, and so little active means for its discharge, that the public treasury was exhausted, and heavy taxes became necessary to replenish it. In August of that year, delegates from fifty towns in the county of Hampshire met together and pro- nounced against the grievances and the unnecessary burdens imposed on the people.
