Stephens and Quitman object, on constitutional gromnds, to the amendment, and, very likely, the ground {s well taken. Bot wherefore should South- ein men be perpetually appesling to he constitatiop, when they fnew that itis a and worthless enactment? What measure of aggression, of usur- pation, or of plunder, do its weak arms avail to check? Why, then, should Southern men, when defiantly challenged to the issue—an issue which no compromire or constitutional plea can evade—an is- ene which every impalee of manhood, and patriotism, and safety, too, should hasten—wby should they hold up, with impotent hands, the shattered shield?” Is it new to them that the plans of abolition are hostile to the constitution? Do they expe:t to stave off the contest by appeals to its protection? Admit that the propdsition is uncoustitutional—admis that it ia- volves civil war and revolution.

Happy the nations, it is said, whose annals are dull. France, therefore, at this particular moment, should be in ita utmost plenitade of felicity, for not for ten years past have its annals been so little wor- thy of record. Its wonderful Emperor —the man who has bound destiny herself to the tails of his coat —is quietly laving himself in the baths of Plom- bieres, kissing old women, receiving rosebuds from young ones for the little emperor he has left behind, and gladdening the hearts and vanity of the inhabi- tanta of Plombitrea by the architectaral improve- ments he is daily decreeing.

In the midst of such a stagnution, as we cannot have a revolution in Paris, it is some coasolation to have one at Madrid, especially as this species of per- turbation has a wonderful knack of effectiog com- munications, if not speedily extinguished. I told you in my )ast that notwithstanding the optimist view taken of it in the Moniteur, my pri- vate advices led me to attach much more importance to the Spanish revolution than the reports justified. T have Jong known that the alliance betweea O’Don- nell and Espartero was a hollow one, and that the former would never be content till he had played the part of Narvaez without Narvaez. He is a min of violent temper, who can brook no brother near thy throne—who, under the mask of great frankness and cordiality, conceals a most plotting, scheming, un- scrupulous spirit, and who, during his participation of power with Espartero, has devoted his whole soul to the purpoee of ingratiating himself with the army.

Instead of to the Continent, where al! al the world oes every rte, to the pame places and over the das road, Mr, Delane, like a man of eense, means to have a peep at Yarkeedom. The Times, know, is @ vact affair, with aa many editors as thero are dey rt- ments. The political departmeat is under Mr. Do lane. It is he who is commander-in-chief of those famous leading articles that is read all over the world. He never writes o Ice, but he mut read thing appears editors of e tes well. It is Mr. nm, who presi et the financial depart- m ind writes the “city” articles, which you call the “money” articles. It is a post of great reaponsi- bility, and such is the influence of the Times in the money world that if Mr. Sampson was half as cor- rupt as the mesibers of the Louse of Commons, he might make a fortume every week. But he is as im reqnable aa Robespierre was supposed to .be, and js judgment is singularly clear and sound. He is invalnabie to the Tavs in the place he fills.

The movement of French troops towards the Spanish frontier had caused 60 mach anxiety to Lord Palmerston that a communi- , cftion was made on the subject, through the ordi- nary chgnnel, aud the English Premier was well aware, when he made his eulogy on the Emperor's justice and sagacity, of what was already in type in the Monteur. {t is very certain that a growiag jeslousy—now that the Russian war is over—is more ‘and more observable with respect to France among the leading men of Eugland.

There is, also, another eleme of which Englishmen generally take but sinall « count, and that is, the immense, all-pervading popu- larity of @ war in France, whici should have le pc fide ‘Aibion for ita foe. } ing every allowance for the absorbing desire of gain which during the last forty yeara has been gradually taking rout ia the French character, to -he disparagement of t former taste for war, the old rival spirit agaiust England is as rife ss ever. Itis, moreover, at the sent moment nowise abated by the conyie that France Fas but to will the deed and illu Car thago deletura est. But even suppose @ long war to be the result, there ia nothing which would unite ail Frenchmen, ot whatever grade or party, so indis30- inbly in support of the government de facto, as 9 contest with their ancient foe; and the prospect of relieving England of some of that surplas wealth, the display of which onthe Continent, in all the miea- gled pride of feudality and breeches pocket, has made her 80 universally detested. I know nothing of a purely domestic charaster which has so much interested ‘the Freach of late a3 the discussion in the British Parliament on the Upis- copal Retirement bill, Such enormous a in the hands of churchmen has set all the Gatlic hic rarchy a musing. Righteen thousand pounds sterling per annum for the Bishop of Londen alone, redaced to franes, gives four millions anda half; and the sum seems so fabulous that the only way men can get over itisby supposing that the whole country must be one vast vein of precious ore, The truth of the matier is, the Bishop of Londen’s income baa been understated, as wit- ness the Lord Chancellor’s contradiction when he stated thatout of £18,000 per annum the Bishop bestowed annually £15,000 of it ia charities, and in the same breath the legal functionary demands for him 4 retiring ance of £6,000 per ananm; otherwise the Bishop's iusurance, for the benefit of his family, which amounts to half that sam, cannot bekeptup. It, then, the Bishop expended £15,000 in charity and £3,000 in insursace, and his whole income was but £18,000, how has he managed to live in alace at Fulham, in all the atate of a priace, a long retinue of liveried lacqueys, carria; horses by the score, besides a superb house james’ square, and al] this for thirty years or more? It is well known to the initiated that the Bishop of London's income, from fines on the renewn! of hoans, and the daily increasing value of the Episcopal property, must often have exceeded £30,000 per annum. He is a man whom his fiatver- ers may canonize, but such 93 few will sincerely regret. Brutal in his conduct to his clergy, time- serving to the aristocratic classes, he stopped the mouths of the many who detested him a great wblic liberality of ‘the large means at his dispoval. ut his charity was not of that kind which co- vereth a multitude of sins; it was rather of that self-glorifying character which exulted more in the ee of mitigating the evil than in the solace of evil itself. ing in num- It isone of the many curions ano- malies of the English church, that ‘thus @ pro- vision of £6,000 avynnm anda palace is made for ove retirin jishop, end £4,500 for another—for men whose Ie! in life have been sweetened by ‘all that comfort, Inxory, unbounded patronige avd the Lighest digaity can afford; tor the curate— a gentieman equally well nurtured themselves, and no whit their inferior ia piety and theolo; attainments, whore labors have been rewarded by the paltry remuneration of £60, £39 or £100 a year— there is no otber eaylam, no other retiring allow ance, when age, direare, and physical aud mental decay ret in, the workhouse.

Over Commercial Relations with France, RESTRICTIONS ON AMERICAN COMMERCE—PRENCH TONNAGE PUTIES—IMPOLICY OF GovErNMENT VENTIVES TO MAIL, STREAMERS, TO THE EDITOR Ov THE HERALD, Havens, July, 28, 1956. faThe present situation of our commerce with France demands the earnest atiention of ow mor- chante and government, for if thia last does not in- terfere, and that soon, we Americans may expect before long to see the trade between Havre and Nuw York, which has been up to the last year or so alm at entirely in our bands, from its commencement, pace into those of our great commercial rival, Boglind. Put Americans on an equal footing with any othor nation, and from their well known enterprise and in- telligence they will doubtless sucaeed in getting and keeping a fair ehare of trade; if they fail, it must be owing either to some unfair treaty, or else to goverament ‘uterference in the shape of sute'dy granted to privileged associations, In any o with fair ply they cannot hold their own in’ petitio: with Englishmen or any others, the; erve to fail, and to see their rivals doing carrying for them—bat it is for our governme see that we have fair play ; and this is far f being the case in the trade between this place New York, as I shall 1 hope, show to your. tion. We have to complain that English ships, as well as steamers, have an advantage of francs per ton over our ships, in this, for ther direct trade—they paying one franc and we francs per ton duties. This four francs pe tells fearfully in a time of general competition| slack treights, when every Soller saved is 80 gained. .

The French, are now trying hard to estal steamers betwéen Wavre and New York, and it pears to me that now is the moment to agitate] uestion with the French government; up to time the advantage bas been altogether on side; for, for every French ship paying dues in United States there have been huadreds of An can ships doing the same in France, the © trade having been almost entirely in the hand these latter. As, however, their amour propre is | committed to having a steam line of their own, | is the opportuni'y, I say, to press thea to do al with these ouerous dues, and we can, with a grace, at s) ask them to pat their steamers, carrying their own goods, in a cq tion to compete with the English; if, how the money they ieceive from us for these do so important an item to them that they will no ten to the 1epreseptations of our government, | a hint of the application of the lex talionis, i , wr” Pe tt | shape of an advance of duties on their silks, &c., would suon bring them to terms.
