Villiers had been ap- pointed to succeed Mr. Crampton as British Minister at Washington. We now learn that there is no @oubt of the fact of that gentleman's appointment to this country. Mr. Villiers isa member of Parlia- ment, was President of the Crimean Commission, ‘and is a member of the Board of Trade. He has ac- cepted the appointment, and was preparing to leave England wich as little delay as possible. We have brief despatches from Kansas, contain. ing important news. The State prisoners have been released on bail, and their friends at Lawrence cele- brated the even! py a general rejoicing. Gov. Geary had reached Lawrence and issued a proclamation, in which he, of course, ordered all bands of armed men to disperse. He seems to have inspired the free State men with some little hope that nothing will be wanting on his part to restore tranquillity to ‘the Territory. The old line Whig National Convention meets to day at Baltimore. Without doubt Mr. Fillmore will be nominated with the usual demonstrations of en- ‘thasiaem. There was an immense meeting of the friends of Fremont at the Tabernacle last evening. See our report elsewhere. The Spanish journals announce the recall of Senor Alvarez, the Spanish Chargé d'Affaires in Mexico. They look upon this measure as a disavowal of the arrangements concluded by that agent with the Mexican government. The conflict be:ween Mexi- oand the mother country is thus reopened. The Assemblée Nationale, of Paris, says that the recall of Senor Alvarez has been determined upon because be did not act strictly in accordance with his in- structions, viz.: to require the unconditional revoca- tion of those acts committed derogatory to the rights and dignity of Spain by the Mexican govern- ment upon several Spanish subjects. Tne Tammany General Committee last night endorsed the nomination of Fernando Wood to the Mayoralty, by a vote of 58 to 26. The Committee also condemned the independent nomination of Mr. James 8. Libby, as factious and illegal. The Massachusetts Republican and Gardner American State Conventions met yesterday. The two organiza'ions united upon a ticket for Presiden- ‘ial electors, and will hold their conventions for the nomination of members cf Congress simultaneous- ly, with a view to coalition. It was understood that the republicans would not nominate a ticket for State officers, thus leaving the track clear for Governor Gardner and his colleagues, The New York Republican State Convention to select candidates for Presidential electors and State officers meets to-day at Syracuse. The American Convention meets at the same time and place. In the Board of Aldermen last evening a petition ‘was presented by Alderman Tucker in favor of adopting a new glass ballot box, of globular form, encased in iron, but so exposed to public view as to prevent or detect imposition either on the part of voters or partizan inspectors. A communication was received from the Comptroller exposing the manner in which the expenses of the city treasury are swollen, and referring to several cases which were recently brought before Judge McCarthy, of the Marire Court, (already reported in the legal in telligence), and which that Justice dismissed as an attempted cheat upon the city government. The salaries of the clerks of the Corporation Counsel qwere moderately increased; a vast amount of of routine business was disposed of, and the Board adjourned to the first Monday in October. ‘The Board of Ten Governors met yesterday, and after trifling away two hours, adjourned without transacting any business. The weekly census shows that 5,894 persons are now in the city charitable in- stitutions, being decreas of eighty three since last week. Dr. John L. Crane, of New Utrecht, died of yellow fever yesterday morning, about three o'clock. F His partner, Dr. Dubois, died of the same disease ‘on the previous Saturday. Both contracted illness by attending upon the sick of the surrounding country. Two new cases have occurred at Fort Hamilton. The er of the schooner Baltimore died of fever y and the purser of yesterday of the same disease. We learn from gentleman residing in Rockland county that there ‘was © black frost there abont a week since. Its early appearance is favorable to the opinion that the yellow fever will be checked by a similar oo- urrence in our vicinity. ‘We have advices from the Cape of Good Hope @ated July 21. No slave tr.fiic was going on in any part of the Cape station. The Caffres were quite tranquil in ou'ward appearance, and it is said that the news of the emigration to the frontier ‘of 10,000 of the Britith German Legion had been received by them with considerable dismay, Mo- shesb, the great chief, having declared that if they came he should at once go further afield. Rev, By. Tange, 4 Wesleyan Mis-ionery, had been mur | ee ee ee a a ne ee dered by the Caffres. Severe weather prevailed on the coast. The people generally regretted the re- moval of D. M. Huckins, Esq., United States Consul at Cape Town. Our correspondent at Bridgetown, Bar\adoes, writing on the 27th ult., says:—The Legislature is vow insession. The finances of the island are ina flourishing state. Last year’s crop was above an average one, and next year’s promises a no less fa- vorable one. The best understanding prevails be- tween the planters and laborers, and the island was never under @ better system of cultivation. The flour market is still firm at last quotations— say $12 60 per barrel—and more so to day, as the bark Mayflower bas arrived from New York without a barre! on board. She has 1,250 bushels meal, which is dull at $450. The steamer from Trinidad brought accounts yesterday that flour sold there at $12 50, and corn meal at $4 60, which is the cargo of bark A. A. Drebert, from Philadelphia; but a vessel from Ba!timore had arrived a few days before her, end obtained for her flour #13 64. From Deme- ara, 1,550 barrels arrived here a few days ago, end is held at $13 by the agents. The only American vessel in port is the brig Loretto, rom Philadelphia bound to Montevideo, which put in in distress, 18th inst., leaky and otherwise damaged. There was never known so many ships of war hovering among the islands. The English fleet is immense, and the French are as numerous; but they do not land, on account of receiving their supplies from the supply ships of their respective nations, Weather fine. No fever, no cholera. The steamship Harmonia, from Hamburg, ar- rived at this port early yesterday morning, after an excellent passage, having sailed on the 1st instant. The Harmonia had about four hundred and fifty passengers. E. Bronson, President of the Commercial Bank of New Jersey, at Amboy, announces that the bank has paid in full all the liabilities on which it failed in 1852; that the present stockholders have paid in $60,000 in cash, on account of their stock, and that the bank will resume a regular business. Mr. Conquist, a machinist in the employ of the Messrs. Hoe, who has been to London to set up one of their six cylinder lightning presses for Lioyd’s Weekly paper, arrived from Liverpool in the steam- ship Cambria. We understand he brings orders for a second press of the same capacity for that paper, another for the J/lustrated London News, and for a ten cylinder press for the London Times. The sales of cotton yesterday footed up about 800 a 1,000 bales, the market closing quite steady- There was rather more doing in flour, bat the mar~ ket was heavy and closed at lower rates, making the whole decline, since the receipt of the Arabia’s aud Atlantic’s news, about 15c.a 20c. per bbl. Wheat was in fair demand, with sales at $1 65 a $1 69 for white, and $1 55 a $157 for red. Corn was easier, with sales at 68c. a2 69}c. Pork was firm, with sales of 1,000 a 1,200 bbls. mess on the spot, at $2C. Lard was quite active, with sales of about 1,000 a 1,200 bbls. and tierces, at 14c. a 14}c., which are the highest figures it has reached in this market for many years. Coffee was stiff and uctive, with sales of 1,500 bags Rio, 600 do. Laguayra, and 3,334 de. Bahia on terms stated in another colamn. Freights were steady, without change of moment in rates. The Kansas Perfidy—Shall the Bayonet be the Slavery Law of the Territories? The Kansas policy of the Pieree administra- tion, of the democratic party, and the democratic candidate for the succession, all other expedients having failed, is the avowed policy now in ac- tive operation, of making that Territory a slave State by force of arms. Sentiments or opinions hostile to the extension of African slavery are treason in Kansas—treason by various enactments of the spurious Missouri-Kan- as Legislature—treason, from the edicts and re- cripts of Mr. Pierce's law officers of the Terri- tory, and treason from the instructions of the ad- ministration to its Kansas Governors and military commanders. This prevailing treason has at ength become so unmanageable that the adiminis- tration has been driven to the last resort of root- ing it out by fire and sword. It has become ne- cessary, in fulfilment of the original plan of making Kansas a slave State. It was not in tended, nor was it supposed, that the Kansas- Nebreska bill would be interpreted as an invita- tion to anti-slavery Yankees to come and settle in Kansas; but having thrust themselves in where they were not wanted, and many of them having refused to go out according to orders from Mr. Atchinson and his party, no other resource is left than their expulsion or extermination by fire and sword. This work has been re-commenced with increased vigor since the adjournment of Congress, and with the supplies of the army bill which our amiable President so much need- ed; but as yet the joint operations of the United States army and the Missouri border rufflans have been limited to the tarring and feathering of an occasional stray Methodist preacher; the shooting and scalping of an unfortunate Quaker or so; the violation of a female, bere and there, suspected of abolition principles; the expulsion of a score or two of free State settlers from their homes, and the seizure of their houses, goods and chattels; the occasional murder of a lawyer unsound on the nigger question, and the sacking and burning of two or three settlements that had dared to re- sist the demands of Mr. Plerce’s ruffian officials, their ruffian militia and ruffian posse comitatus, A wholesome sense of fear and prudence, that “better part of valor,” appears to have restrain- ed the administration party in Kansas from larger active operations for the present, and so they have hit upon that ancient military custom of starving out the enemy. To this end a milita- ry cordon or blockade bas been established from the Missouri river all the way back to the land routes into Kansas from Iowa and Nebraska, 90 as to cut off all suppliee of provisions and rein- forcements that might otherwise find their way into the beleaguered city of Lawrence, that hot- bed of armed and courageons rebellion. This soothing system of starving out the free State population of Lawrence — men, women and children—will most likely be adhered to by the United States army till after the Penn- sylvania and Ohio October elections; but then, should Pennsylvania stand fast to the democratic cause, we may expect Mr. Pierce's “dogs of war’ to be turned loose, as the active auxiliaries of Atchiron and his impatient volunteers, In the meantime, the numbers and the resistance of the defenders of Lawrence seem to indicate a tance too deadly to be grappled with; and it is possible that this deeperate bravery may result in the defeat of that October Territorial election intended to clove up the work of making Kansas a slave State, by military dragooning, ruffianism, and Missouri ballot stuffing. Such are the latest developements resulting from this Kansae perfidy of Mesers. Atchison, Jeff. Davie, Pierce and the nigger driving demo- cracy. It has not worked as emoothly as was expected. That “tub to the whale” of popular sovereignty in the Kansas-Nebraska bill has «poiled the whole scheme. We have no doubt that the bill itself was a desperate invention of Senator Atchison, resulting from his desperate political fortunes in Missouri. His idea was to make himself father of a new pro-slayery move- ment, which would crush oyt Benton's opposition “election to the United States Senate. This was Iyrerrerence oF ovr Nava Forces wy Stare Po.rrics.—Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad. The administration and the supporters of Mr. Buchanan appear to have taken leave of their senses, Not content with the most unjustifiable and illegal interference in the af- fairs of Kansas, they are trying their hand in those of California, The army and navy, sus- tained by the public treasury for the defence of the country against foreign aggression, is now openly used to overthrow our constitutional guarantees and to give aid and countenance to political friends and to interfere in our domestic polity, It is not strange that the founders of the republic were opposed to the creation of a stand- ing army, or that they feared it might one day be a hateful instrument in the hands of even tem- porary tyranny. Scarcely have we had time to express our indignation at the use made of our military force in Kansas, before we have to re- cord the interference of the navy in the State of California, It appears that the commander of a United States vessel of war—the John Adams— has been figuring in the bay of San Francisco, meddling in the local political disputes of that city, and receiving presents from aclub of ac- knowledged political character, devoted to the views of a particular candidate, for his taking part with them in their difficulties. With his guns turned upon the town, he has given his countenance to a band of notorious parti- zans, whose chief arguments have been the re- volver and the bowie knife, and he has avowed his regret that he will “not be able to take any part with them at the coming Presidential con- test.” Still his “sympathies” are with them, and he “earnestly prays” that their efforts in the com- ing canvass may be crowned with success. He hopes that under the Yable Captain” they pro- pose to put in command of the ship of State, they will “sail on,” in the language of the loafers, “over many a stormy sea.” He accepts their present of a chronometer and gold chain, and re- turns his “lasting gratitude” for the honor con- ferred on him by a ruffian band. What are we coming to? Is it to be tolerated that the captain of a United States man-of-war shall use his commission, his vessel and his power in favor of any political party? Is it to be en- dured that he shall affiliate himself with political clubs, and use the flag of the nation as a banner under which they may marshal their forces? We think it high time that this illegal abuse of the authority of the nation should be put down. We have sometimes seen the crews of national ships landed during a contested election, to turn the scales in favor of an administration par- ty; but it waa always done secretly, and under the disavowal of the offi- cials who were supposed responsible for the act. It was reservetfor the era of Pierce and the times of Buchanan to witness a captain of* the American navy taking sides officially in our domestic political differences, and cheering on in a public correspondence the exertions of a parti- zan organization to elect a partizan candidate. Never before in our history has any naval commander been so daring and so unscrupulous. If the people sit still under such enormity, let them wear their chains, First in Kansas, our sol- diers have been dragged into the field to uphold the bloodiest and the most unconstitutional legis- lation—to sustain the violation of the most sacred rights of freemen ; and now our gallant sailors are steered into the whirlpool of politics, to overawe by their batteries the freedom of opinion and the local affairs of an independent State. How much more are we to endure from the administration and its supporters? How many more violations of law, order and decency are we to submit to, for the purpose of electing Mr. Buchanan. We pause for a reply. to Atchison in Missouri, or open to the latter @ new slave State from which he might justly claim the honor of the first doubtless the origin and the of Atchison, in the conception of this beautiful plot. His earlier Confidential confederates at Washing- ton, including Jefferson Davis, Senator Mason, and other rabid secessionists, had larger schemes and dreams in view in adopting the plan of their Missouri pioneer. Mr. Pierce and Mr. Douglas were simply entrapped into the plot with the tempting bait of the Cincinnati nomination; but being in, it became the manifest policy of each to outrun the other in the race for the suffrages of the nigger driving Southegn democracy. Thus it was that at the meetiig of the Cincinnati Democratic Convention, Mr. Pierce’s eyes had been so fully opened to the scheme of Atchison, Davis, Mason and company, that he had thrown off the flimsy disguise of popular sovereignty in Kansas, and had become the active chief of the ruffian policy of making the Territory a slave State by fire and sword. ‘The Cincinnati Convention endorsed the trea- son but rejected the traitor. A double policy was adopted—the ruffian policy of Mr. Pierce— to secure Kansas as a slave State, and the policy of nominating a man who could prove an alibi in the Nebraska bill, in order to secure the Presidency and the spoils. But the alibi of Mr. Buchanan avails him nothing. He has accepted the Cincinnati platform. He pleads the Kansas doctrine of popular sovereignty in the North, while he charms the most ultra-secessionists with his sympathy for Atchison in Kansas, and his craving appetite for the island of Cuba. He tells us that he is no longer James Buchanan, but the embodiment of the Cincinnati platform and the anointed instra- ment of the Cincinnati democracy, of which nig- ger driving secessionism is the head and Pierce and Forney the tail. Tosum up: The Kansas-Nebraska bill was the result of a conspiracy among two or three restless, ambitious and reckless secession demo- cratic politicians—its doctrine of popular sove- reignty was a premeditated fraud, a deliberate piece of treachery of the most infamous kind, for it opened Kansas alike to slavery and anti- slavery settlers, “subject only to the constitu- tion of the United States; and the moment it was discovered that the invitation would proba- bly result in the exclusion of slavery from the Territory, the system of border ruffianism and democratic terrorism was commenced. The cheat being thus partially detected, through the brazen-faced connivance of the administration with the border ruffians, the democrats of Con- gress first attempted to stave off an in- vestigation into the facts, for fear of uglier disclosures ; but failing in this, they con- fessed, with the proofs before them, that squatter sovereignty was a humbug and a trick, and they graciously proposed a new Kansas election or two, and to place the absolute control of these elections in the hands of Mr. President Pierce, as the safest expedient for the restoration of law and order. This is all that was offered in behalf of Mr. Buchanan by the democrats of Congress. They adhered to the validity of that spurious Missouri- Kansas Legislature; they denounced its acts as cruel, unconstitutional, savage and infamous, but they would rather “stop the wheels of govern- ment” than abolish that jnfamous Legislature and its affiliated federal and local authorities. They gained their point, with the aid of Mr. Fill- more’s members of the House. That Missouri- Kaneas Legislature, the administration, the bor- der ruffians, and their common policy of making Kansas a slave State by a system of terrorism which would be disgraceful even to savages, have thus been adopted as part and parcel of the ma- chinery of the democratic party for the election of James Buchanan. To what paltry, petty and contemptible sources we may thus trace the greatest events in the his- tory of nations! Who could have believed three years ago that thedesperate necessities of a despe- rate and reckless frontier democratic politician like Atchison could possibly result in less than three years in acivil war in a Territory uninhabit: ed in 1853, except by Indians, and inarraying the twosections of the Union against each other, the North upon a Southern man and a democrat, and the South upon a Northern man and an old fede- ralist—the one for Kansas as a free State, by constitutional means, and the other for Kansas as a slave State, through the power of a military despotism’? Yet thus we stand—Fremont against Buchanan—the North against the South; and this is the exact question, not whether Kansas shall be a free State ora slave State, but whether Kansas shall be a slave State from the expulsion or extermination of the free white Northern set- tlers by a military crusade, in violation of the constitution, the laws, and every instinct of de- cency and humanity, and by the government of the United States? Against this hideous and alarming policy of military coercion for the extension of slavery into free Territory, the masses of the North are rallying upon Fremont; and in behalf of this dis organizing policy of subjugation, the South is a unit upon Buchanan. Fremont has the consti tution and the right on his side. His position is that of justice to the North, the South, and the Union, because the constitution is with him. Let the people eo decide, and this agitation will be ended. Tre Marve Evection.—Our democratic organs are laboring hard to figure up a little cold com- fort from the results of the late terrible Maine election ; but we do not sec that there is even a crumb of consolation to be gathered from the following aggregate vote for Governor in 1856, as compared with that of 1555 v Demverat. Memners or Coxcress ror THe Crry.—The names of individuals who are anxiops to repre- sent this great metropolis in the next Congress have freely appeared in the papers of late, and two or three candidates have already been put forward; but as yet, it is difficult to tell who the persons may be that will be taken up by the seve- ral parties. Messrs. Briggs and Bullock have already been nominated in one of the up town districts by the debris of the Know Nothing party. Mr. Bullock is but little known, and comes forward inauspiciously. Mr. Briggs has been in Congress, and was accounted a respecta- ble member. In the Third district we hear three names mentioned: Mr, Phoenix, who, it is said, will be put up by the Americans or some new party; Mr. Sickles, by one section of the democratic party; and General Walbridge, by the other. General Walbridge has already rep- resented the district with credit, and he is a man who will inspire the confidence of the voters. If Sickles is nominated we shall oppose him, and give the strongest reasons for so doing. It will be time enough for that when he is put before the people. We have given our support to Colonel Fre- mont for the Presidency in preference to Mr. Ba- chanan, who is an amiable and good man—or to Mr. Fillmore, who is probably another amia- ble and good man—but we shall support candidates for other offices on their own merita, withcut regard to the party or faction that may bring them forward. We will never support any party, as such—neither demo- crats or whigs, or Know Nothings, or hard shells or soft shells, or half-shells, or radicals, or old line whigs, or straight out whigs, or Henry Clay whigs, nor any other of the different par- ties of the day. Candidates of flesh and blood and Christian names have character and repre- sent certain principles, but parties and factions are nothing but aggregations of rascality and villany, and we'll have none such. Ax Actvat Srop at Last.—Yesterday we received the following note from the South :— Seta, (Alabama, we suppose,] Sept. 10, 1856.

If any article in the Heratp don’t suit him, he can skip it over and read the rest. He will always get his money's worth, and we neither break contracts nor allow others to break them, Furthermore, we intend to defeat Buchanan at the ballot box; but if we should unfortunately fail to do co, we are determined to submit to the infliction, and allow him to rule over us quietly. All other doctrines are unconstitutional, absurd and silly. This is constitutional, and Mr, 8. mut .ulmit, 4,000, and a whig loss of over 4,000. Both put together and added to the vote for Hamlin, and we have etill a gain on his side of 8,000 unac- counted for. This is the reserved corps coming to the reecue, and the young men just coming out. With a good hot, raking fire kept up till October, on the Kansas fraud, we have no doubt that Pennsylvania will tell the same story in still heavier peals of thunder. The old reserves and the new recruits are all coming out this time, Tue Froumore Partry.—Already the disinte- gration of the Fillmore party has commenced. It is breaking up, in spite of the money and the effomm and the mass meetings and the slanders got up by its organs against Colonel Fremont. Since the Maine election the leaders show signs of going over to Buchanan, while the rank and file will vote for Fremont. Such is the nataral result of thy Fillmore conglomeration, Ricurts or Foreroners 1 France.—We per- ceive, by a recent decision of the Imperial Court of Paris, that a debt contracted in his own coun- try by a foreigner cannot be recovered against him in France, unless on a bill of exchange held by the creditor himself, or properly endorsed by him to another in the regular course of business, and before the bill becomes due. The following is the case to which we refer:— Mr. Lamie Murray, an English obtained in London, tn March, 1839, a loan of £1,000 sterling trom Dr. Eiliotson, and gave him a bill for it, Subsequently Mr. Murray took up his residence in Paris, and he paid some portions of the amount, together with the interest on the whole sum up to 1848, since which time he has paid no thing. On the 8th of June, 1 8 French (gentloman named Josseaume notified to Mr. raids @ bill had been forma ly transferred to him by Dr. Elliotsoa, and he obtained one of the courts authorization to make ‘a provisional seizure of Mr. Murray’s furniture as securi ty for the payment. Mr. Murray took proceedings to have the seizure set aside, anc the trib |, after hearing what he and Josseaume had to say, decided that as the debt owing by Murray had been contracted in England and to an English and as the bill in question bad not been endorsed to Josseaume in the regular course of busi- ness, but transferred to him leng after it had become di he could rot, according to French law, proceed against Mr. Murray before a French court, and that, consequent- ly, the seizure of the furniture was void. Josseaume appealed to the Imperial Court against this decision, but it was confirmed, This decision is consonant with justice and common sense, Were the laws of France to per- mit of the indefinite transfer of old pecuniary claims, no foreigner would venture to visit it, from the apprehension that the vindictiveness of some disappointed claimant might follow in his wake, and place him in a position of embarrass- ment from which he could not easily extricate himself. Many a suit that could noi be sustained at home, might, in such a case, be decided in fa- vor of a plaintiff who had no just grounds for his claim. In Italy the law is the same in principle with that of France, a similarity which it owes to the Code Napoleon, which substituted in so many instances the dictates of reason for the ab- surd technicalities of the old Roman laws. A Fresn Spurr Avone THe Democracy.—Af- ter all the pains and penalties of parturition, the democratic party of this great metropolis has again split into two sections, and that before the election. Tammany Hall brings forth twins for the Mayoralty, and we presume that the vein will run through all the stratifications down to the primary formations. We rather think the demo- cracy must be on its last legs when it splits be- fore election. Formerly the party kept together until after election for the division of the spoils, agd then quarrelled over the spoils of the kitchen, THE LATEST NEWS.

Sr. Louis, Sept. 15, 1856, Advices from Kansas to the 10th inst. say that the State prigoners were released on bail. Gov. Geary has issued a proclamation commanding all armed bands to disperse. Emory’s band was taken before General Smith, for ar- reating an officer of the army. Whipple's company had captured ‘a party of thieves, on the 9th, and taken eighty horses. A fort capable of holding a thousand men had just been finished, at Lawrence ‘There was a jubilee at Lawrence on the 10th inst. Speeches were made by the State prisoners, and there was general rejoicing. ‘Mrs. Robinson passed here to-day, en rowle for Bostow, Lawrence, Sept. 10, 1856. After a contest of two days the State prisoners have been admitted to bail by Judge Lecompte, and are to- night with us. It is not believed they will ever be tried. Governor Geary is in Leavenworth, and will be here to morrow. We are cheered by his arrival. He pro- mises to drive every marauder from Kansas who is not an actual resident, and says he will call to his aid one thousand United States troops, and fifty thousand yolun- teers from the North, if necessary. Capt. Emery’s bandiiti band near Leavenworth ar- rested an officer of the army yesterday, for which Emery’s whole company were brought before General Smith. Rey.

The Fremont Americans also pledged themselves to hold Congressional and County Conventions on the same day with the republicans with a view to a ‘union. ‘The question then came up in the republican Conven: tion as to adopting the American State ticket, including Gardner for Governor. This question was debated at length, until at the evening session, the minority oppoad to Gardner appeared determined to stave off the questi, and there was considerable excitement and eonfusia. Finally a motion was adopted that the republicans would nominate no State ticket. This is satisfactory to the Fie- mont Americans, and ensures the united vote of both pir- ties for the Fremont ticket.
