Tetill have reagon to think, as I stated in some former letters, that the #mperor Napoleon had never more need of look: to the mettle and temper of bis machinery than at this moment. There is a fecling—as yet, if you like, no,bigger than a man’s hand—of dissatisfaction, of murmur and complaint abroad, which any such iacident as a revolution in Spain tig) cause to burst forth in flame ond fire. These secret societies which M. Disraeli alluded to in the House of Commons, in bis recent speech ou the Italian question, batile every ingenuity of the police to circumyr nt, and so subtle is their operations, that the polize themselves, who are sent to watch, return from their mission gecret members of the society they issued forth to observe, decoy and denounce. There are at the present moment three several sets of poiice agents, each looking after the otber; aud whenever the history of these times comes to be fairly written, a tale will be told which cannot but read strangely among the aruals of the boasted \iberty of the nineteenth cea‘ury. ‘The government of Frauce, in fact, what with a fnaucial crisis hanging over it like a pall, what with a young Pretender standing by, bolding in bis haud a parliament ary charter combinivg in himself the elective ang divine right principle; and what with the peninsulas of Spain and Italy in the very throes of revolution, ie much in the condition of @ man smoking @ pipe on a barrel of gua- powder, It may escape, but the danger is imminent. The new Ambassador at lengu determined upon by the Court of St. Petersburg to that of the Tuileries—Count Paul Demitrovitch Kissalifi—must not be confounded with the gentleman ef the same name who formerly represented Russia, and at the breaking out of the war between the two countries received his passports, The present Ambassador was bora in Moscow, in 1788, cons Fequently is €8 years of age. He fought at Eylau, at Fried lawl, at Moscow, and at the eiege of Paris. In 1815, he was aid de-camp to Alexander 1., and on bis revurn to Russia was vamed Major General of the etal! of the Army of the South, commanded * Field Marshal Count Wittgeustein, Aiter distinguishing himself during the war of 1828-29, M. de Kisealiff raised to the rank of Lieutenant Ge- peral, was placed at the head of the army of occupation of the Danubian Provinces, and charged to govern tem n the quality of President’ Plenipoteutiary of the divans of Wallachia and Moldavia. He conducted himself with s0 much prudence and equity, that a statue was erected to him at Bucharest. In the month of April, 1834, M. Kissaluil returned St. Petersburg, and was appointed a member of the Council of the Empire, and subsequently Minister of tbe Imperial domains. M lozaga, the Spanish Minister at the French Court, left Paris on Saturday, for the Eaux Bouues. His depar: ture bad been fixed for the Lith, but was delayed by the recent events in Spain. Prince Masari, who commanded the Greek legion in the Crimea incorporated in the Ras- sian army, is now in Paris. The Monieur contains the cficial anpouncem ent by the Russian government of the establishment of custom houses at Perekop, Jenitchesk, ond the bridge of Tchaojar, with the view of preventing the introduction by contraband of goods into Russia Proper from we Crimea. In the Paris corn market, during the pat week, prices were firm, and op Saturday, the 19th inst., a sligat ad vance took place, the price beimg 101 francs the sack of 150 kilos, the kilo being rather more than two pouads, The state of the crops bas given rise to covtimual disputes at the Halle daring the week, but from iaformation most worthy of confidence it would seem that the harvest, so far, bas bees indifferent in the Souto, mediam in the cen- tral departments, but promise: to be abundant in the Beance and the Brixe.

The Americans may be said to be brought into intimat political relations with England alone of all the great Powers. Hence a diplomatic campaign against this coun- iry is a vent for all the energy of the Western politicians, ‘abd is looked upon aa an uniailing source of popularity whin party combinations are proceeding unfavorably at home. fcause England, with ber mu!tiiarious coacerns, cannot devote her attention, year after year, to these squabbles, aad ia only too glad to have done with them on any equitable terms, it bas been said that this country has followed too much a policy of concession t> anfoand ed demands. But the oulys reriows dieputes of the kind of inte year—those respecting the Miine and Oregoa boundarier have been settled howorably : aud there is now little doubt tbat the present difficuities may also come to.au ed. Asis well kKuown, there are three questious iuvolved~ the right of England to the Bebze territory, to the Bay Islands, and to the protectorate over the Mosquito Io diane. ‘Now, as it is in reference to the treaty of 1850 that the discussion bas arisen, it may be as weil to call to mind the motives which Jed to that y and the spirit in which it was concluted. Its single object was to pre serve the communication between the oceans from the exclusive preponderanee of either Power. Tho river San Juan ran through Nicaragua territory, but its mouth wae in the land of the Morquitoes, Now, this river was to the Atantic and tie Pa cific; but as Engiand protected the Moequitnes a: Nicaragua, and America pretected Nicaragua a the Mosquitoes, there was much chance of and nO proepect of neutrality.

Now, it mast be plain that a treaty concluded for the purpose 0° obvia- ting ¢ifficulties to @he traffic of an |<thmus and the con strnction of aehip capa! most be admitted ax evidence of the to be attached to anything that appears doubttal in its provisions. Ilence, even were the terms of the document less precise, it must be doubtfal whe ther Britieh negotiators could be held as intending to te prive their country of rights which it had exereived for three fourths of a century. But it may, we thnk, be shown that in the Won of Belize, the text o. the treaty ie wholly on side of Fingland; that with her over the Mosjnito coast its provisions do not interfere, and that with regard to the May Islands, the question ia cne of fact, and belongs exclusively to’ the relations between Great Britain and the State of Hoadu rae. With t to Belize there can be little said. In the treaty England binds herself not to cecupy of ac \uire any terriory in Ceatral America. The clause has, of course, A prospective signification, and cannot for a moment be held to apply to Belize or British Hondaras, which has been an atdoubted posession of the British Crown for $0 years. But, if even that were doubtfail, the matter i¢ taken out of the jurisdiction of the treaty by the simple fact that Belize t# not in Central Amorica atall bat forms part of Memeo, with which republic England hae treated pany A io recent times. As to the Mosquito terri- tory, England bas not violated and will not violate the treaty, She will not occupy or colonize the country, or tablish any military posts. Bot the protectorate which for @ century and a half ene has exercived over the Mosquito Indians remains untonched uy, any le imate constroction of the treat; ith regard the Bay Islands, materially the most worth. of the three territories, the right of Groat Britain appears to is more doubtful, not. however, from the 6 of the Clayton Bulwor treaty, bat from the ineu of the claim which we poss voreienty sroviens e that settlement.

In the absence of M. Luzu riaga, 3. Rios Resas is to direct the Department of Jus- tice, and Gen. O’Donnell to take charge of the Ministry of Marine until the arrival of M. Bayarri. By another decree the Queen accepted the resignation of M Cayetano Cardero, Civil Governor of Madrid, and ap- pointed in bis place M.

Her powers of dissimulation—iaherited from her father, who ever smiled most sweetly 0a those whose death or disgrace was at hand—are notorious, and Espartero ought to know her well enou; yo by this time not to be eo ather Serres against eg end King has never forgiven, we may be very sur - proofs and checks be reptatedly received trom the Duke de la Victoria, at a time when he busily inti against his government, and enpecielly ” the Rot mt eon piracy at Arapjuez in the early par % which ‘was quickly followed by a complete change in his household, tis ides-de-camp being replaced by officers enjoying the coniidence of the then Premier. That the present crisig was anticipated and prepared for by O’Donnell is proved by the idity with which Madrid found itself beset by 18,000 soldiers and sixty pieces of artillery. The barracks of the capital a! ord quarters to ten thougand men, and the remainder were held in readiness at ‘Alcala, Vicalvaro, Leganes, and other adjacent military stations, Hverything was prepared to make the success of the reactionary party bertain in the capital; we have still to see how ‘sud- mission has been secured in the provinces. Arragon is the point of most interest and importance. Espariero |s idolived iu that province, especially at S sa, where there is every reason to believe bis two former aides-de- camp and steadfast friends, Gurrea and Falcon, are at the head of the combined troops and National Guares, and where eighty-five members of the Cortes (more than a third of the whole body) have assembled, and will, doubtless, soon be joined by other deputies. The Arra gonese are a sturdy and warlike race, and the National Guards, of Saragosa, and of the provinces, have proved, on more than one occasion, that they are good for -omething else brsides building barricades when all chance of fighting is over (as im Ma- drid in 1864), strutting and vaporing in peace time, and giving up their arms when troops are sent against them. Moreover, in Arragon preparations have lon; since been made by influential members of the liberal party for such a crisis a%has occurred. From its very morrow tbe revolution of 1854 was considered a failure by the Progressistas. This was repeatedly declared in the private meetings of the chiefs of that party at 5 who deplored the false position Espartero had allowed himeelf to be placed in, linked with O'Donnell and others who inspired his friends with no coptidence. “It has all to be done over again,” they said, ‘and the next revolution will be far more serious than this one.’ And, as they would not tly in the face of Espartero, whom they loved and respected while deploring his credulity ‘and deficiency in energy, they contented themselves wtth preparing for the struggle they fore:aw. Arragon was the province on which they reckoned stronghold; Saragossa was the Progresista capital, and there can be no doubt that General Gurrea, while Captain General of that provinee, organized ev ing for a form- idable resistance when the reactionary me should at- tempt to assume the ascendent. One of his first acts on taking the command was to appoint a number of oilicers, of whose political principles he was quite certain, to the troops under bis orders. This gave rise to angry discus sions with O'Donnell, who, on bis part, much to the the liberal party, was filling up the Moderado oflicers, and appointing yed traitors as Ros de Olano, Dulce, id 0 to the bighest military posts; but Gurrea was firm, and his appointments were main- tained. I: is, unquestionably, in Arragon than the strong- est interest now centres, if weakness be shown there, the hopes of the liberals are at ap end in Spain for the present, and the march of reactiou has fairly set in, and will not soon be arrested. The meeting of the Cortesat Saragocea is a highly important event, as giving legality to the resistance which may be offered to the arbitrary wer that has installed itself at Madrid. We have seen. efore now, ic cases where the constitution had been vio- lated, or some great danger threatened the country and its liberties, that the seat of government in constitutional Spain was held to be there where the Cortes were assem: bled. It is neither eseential nor important that their place of session should be inthe capital. The Cortes exercised sovereign power at Cadiz, . hen the King bad #bdicated in favor of a usurner aud nearly u.. hole ‘was over run by foreign “invaders. rapidity with’ which so large a numbet as 85 deputies have collected at Sara- gossa reuders it evident @ mot d’ordre had been pre- viously given, and a rendezvous fixed upon, im case a violation of the rights of the assembly, or of an attack upon the liberties of the country, di the period the session was suspended. ‘The evening papers that have just ap) contain va- rious details and correspondence from rid relating to the struggle of the 15t and 1éth inst.

The troops did not think proper to attack those positions at night. They only opened fire this morning at break of day, and from that moment until ive o'clock P.

Toe latest news is to the effect that the Queen and O'Donnell have tri- umphed in the capital, but that the Cortes is likely to es- tablish itself in Arragon, make war on isa bella and her advisers, be mame of liberty ana the constitution. The Spanish race, both in the (id and New World, bas been now for so many years torn by intestine discords, commotions have been eo unceasing, that, like the tremblings of their voleanic soil, they have cenced to excite the notice of the world. The names of Narvaez, Eepartero, and O'Donnell are connected in men’s minds with victent disputes, incessant and unsernpnlons intrigue, revolutions and counter-revolu- tions, but tt cannot be said that the affairs of Spain are the subjegt of much atten}ion, egoet among protersed Soreign relations of their country, diplomat ‘This however, the thin; on » It is wa question ia codes. bit a struggle of jueiple of despotism, : fore-armed, determined, and paiave acquiodeed in bya great part of the nation, against the principle ita. tonal liberty, which ia Spain has been weakened by many failures, but still preserves to a great extent the affections of a people not wanting in spirit and self-de- pendence. Espartero has long been the chief of the libe- ral party.

Bat liberal principles are not to the taste of the royal laty who sits on the throne of Spain, and she has no lack of advisers who prompt her to follow her own inclinations, Of these, one of the most courageous and unserupulous is O'Dopnell. This man, a hardy and determined soldier, and stauach adherent to despotic principles, is now the virtual ruler of Spain. Fspartero, always somewhat ir- resolute aud inactive, is now worn with age, and haa held power for the last few years more from the strength of bis former reputation than through any present or, If report be true, the Queen, the King, and O'Donnell, thought that the time had ‘come for a’great victory over the constitution, whicb gives them so much trouble. The Queen was apxious to be rid of the atten. apts with whom a liberal government surrounded ber, and the restraints which it considered necessary to her position. 0’ Donnell, was, of course, only desirous to grasp the power which should fali from the bands of bis rival. ‘A first casey is said to have been made some time since. bviously the best plan for a ruler who wishes to be des- potic, is toencourage popular risings, which he knows he bas power to mone. The Queen and her adviser ore supposed to have initiated, and then to have rushed the insurrection in Palencia. Now the same coup ‘état bas been tried in Madrid. A ministerial dispute, a esignation of the liberal chief, a revolt of the National Guard and their defeat by an overwhelming militar: force, are events whicd naturally prelude the establish- ment of something hike pure despotism at Madrid. Every thing was in readiness for an outbreak; we learn that 18,60 men were at once concentrated in the capital. The success of the Queen was certain from the beginning; and now the constitution on which the moral claim of the present Queen 1s based, exists no longer in the capits! of the country. But Spain is not a land of centralizaton. She resisted Napoleon because each hentlary had a feeling of indepen- dence; and would not submit to an enemy merely because he cecupied Madrid. Liberty, ¢riven from the capital, finds refuge in Arragon. The provinces which lie between Madrid and the Pyrenees are stropgholds of the constitu- tional party. The present retreat of Espartero is un- known, but bis friends hold command in Saragossa. The trocps and the National Guard have both joined the same cause, and made that city the headquarters of a constitu- tional government. — Kighty-five members of the Cortes have retired from Madrid to Saragossa, and will no doubt be joined by as many more of the liberal party as can escape thither, In Arragon the Constitutionalists have long anticipated a struggle, and are believed to be not unprepared. It is therefore not impossible that @ astern contest may be ex- pecte Madrid is crushed, Barcelona is said to be quiet, but a st:ong inJand district is still unconquered, aud may resist ‘ger force than the successful government can bring inst it. On the other hand the Queen and O'Donnell are no doubt eager 10 complete their victory, and the character of the minister is not such ag to make us doubt that he will resort to all means jor the enforcement of submission. Spain is a country so little known and so difficult to un- derstand that no one can venture to say what a day may bring forth, The royal authority may triumph easily, or many months of bloodshed maj acd another page to the annals of distracted Spain. All that we can do is to point out the direction to which events seem tending. e assembling of the Cortes at Saragossa divests the resistance of its merely insurrec- tionary character. The contest now resembles that of the long Parliament against Charles I., and we can con- ceive that thousands who are not republicans, and would repudiate the thought of treason, may now feel at liberty to fight for the assembly which, in the name of law an‘! the constitution, calls on them to resist a tyranpical go- yernment. A singu ar comcidence is likely to farniah the ineurgents with the sinews of war. A convoy of 13,000,- 00f. from the Credit Mobi ier has just entered Spain; it has to pass throngh the provinces in arms against the Crown: and, if in be not changed from its ancient character little of this money is likely to reach Madrid. Such is the state of after so many years of what is called a constitut reign, The sw is to decide between the sovervign and the institutions with which the Jaw has surrounded her. The position of the (Jueen is in- deed deplorable, All that made men fight for her in for- mer times is now destroyed. She represented the hope, if pot the fulfilment, a liberal policy. The monarch who was, according to the old Spanish law, legitimate, found the country against bim because be was resolute to support despotic government, and to submit himself and ye he ruled unconditionally to the priesthood. For these reasons the infant Isabella’s claim became the rallying cry of the nation, and roused neighboring peoples to sympathy and help. But what now remains of the Christino’s hopes? argument can he bring — the Carlist, who is obstinate in the assertion of divine right? The Queen’e title rests on the constitution, and the constitution she is bent on destroying. She is (ueen now only by possession; if rhe reigns neither by the right of sovereigns nor the rights of the people, her title : in- deed endangered. However, we have nothing to do but to stand apart, interested, but stil not interfering. We know teo little of that Th country to say whether its ulti- ‘wate bappiness to be insured by the ascendancy of an Fepartero or an O’onnell.

We cannot ray whether Spaniards are ever to be a race celf governed, with all taose feelwgs of responsibility nd civil reciprocity wbich characterize free citizens. It may be that they are incapable of euch @ condition, and tbe copstitution after the British pattern, may be doomed to perish.

Fremont—Dread of Ostend Mantfesto Doctrines in Europe. {From the London Globe, July 22.) ‘The nomination of Colonel Fremont for the Presidency of the American Union bas been received with what, in the maps of the moment, is called “immense enthu fiasm.”” ‘hether that language is exaggerated it is not for us to say, but undoubtedly the manifestations of con- currence kave been very great, if not unprecedented. Our transatlantic cousins are an excitable people. The slave power, hitherto predominent at Washington, bas recently distingushed itself by acts decidedly cal culated to rouse the spirit of all who are not only opposed to its extension bat to its predominance. The murderous assault upen Mr. Samner, for which a fiue of three bun dred dollars on the assailant is deeme: adequate puni-bment, has contributed quite as much as the pro ceedings in Kansas to show the true friends of the Union ‘was bigh time they exerted themselves on behalf welfare of their country, They had also sresh in their memories the resolutions of the Ostend Conference, ¢f whit Mr. Buchanan was the hero, A® ® party, too, they have been excluded from the sweets of power, The result of i se — was the unanimous nomination of Cylonel remont.

[From the London Star, July 22.) Colonel Fremont’s address, in accepting the nomina- tion for the American Presidency, is #0 remarkable for ite advanced expression of opinion that it ought to excite en ardent hope throughout England for his success. ‘There sre only two , at this moment, which appear to agitate the le of the United States—the questions of foreign fe ke homan freedom—and to these Colonel Fremont entirely applies bimegi', aud with eugh clear dwell pringtples thatewe can haye no doubt or diligulty about bis language, congerning slavery. . The immediate issue which Con; bas to settle is, wifRher the Territory of Kansag should be recogsized by the Union as a free’ State, or» State inhabited by slaves; and the Congress can either say that Kansas may be left to its own discretion in the matter, cr that it can form no part of the America con- federation if vlavery exists on its soil. Colonel Fre- mont decides for the latter alternative. He believes that the proposal to leave Kangas to its own choice will tand in the face of a solomn compact that such Territor‘es as Kansas were to be free, whilst it would aid the plans of that slaveholding fraternity who wiil be satisfled with nothing but the extension of thelr system The cause to which he commits himself is, therefore, one which he aptly describes by the phrasa ‘constitutional freedom,” and he will not fail, we should hooe, to receive the support of all the anti-slavery sections oj the United States, But it is when Colonel Fremont speaks of tha foreign policy he means to espouse that we feel the greatest inierest for the moment, because he gives utterenco, in our opinion, to those views which. {ft they bad ouly prevailed in’ the Old World, would have saved the nations from repeated and periodical convulsion, (in this question he will not bind himself cown to apy party issues. He would provoke no hostili- lies by unjast assumption.

In one word, Colonel Fremont expresses his wish to #o back to the principles of Washiogton and Jeflerson, and we who live on the European side of the Atlantic know that Was!..ogton and Jefferson were the fathers of civil liberty anv political justice. Why, then, should the United States hesiiate to deaw fresh life from the fountaia heat af that safely and freadim frou which they may have departed? Avil why sbould they not teach a how 1essom to the old kingdoms of the world by making progress im the direction of human equasty andl international if If they will choose Fremont for their new President, af- ter that gentleman bas so clearly expressed himself, Eu- rope will be compelled to go to the feet of America to learn wisdom, Mark cts.
