Freights were in fair request for English ports, at full quotations, while te the Continent they were inactive and rates un «banged. Phe Cabinet and the Policy of Mr. Bachanan What are tney to bet We perceive that some of our democratic co- temporaries are already beginning to look up the pecewary timber for a new Cabinet for Mr Huebanan. It is not likely that he will retain a single stick of the ministry of poor Pierce, al- though it is said there is a strong personal attacb- ment between Mr. Buchanan and old Mr Marey, the result of many years of harmonious feeding at the «ame democratic crib. For all this, we may a6 well resivyn ourselves to say good-bye to Marey, knowing, as we do, that the legding se- ceesionists and filibusters of the Ostend plot will make bis diemisral a wre gua non, We conclude, therefore, that the Cabinet of Mr, Buchanan will be a pew Cabinet, from beginning to end, and the work of compounding it will be a very nice, a very delicate and a very ticklish piece of bu- siners, The confidential filibustering and secession or- gan of Jefferson Davis (the New Orleans Delia) is first in the fleld for a place in the new Cabi- net, end, through ite Washington correspondent (doubtless speaking by authority), modestly claims the Treasury Department, and names Hon. George S. Houston, of Alabama, for that important pest. We dare say, however, that, ipeluding such self-eacriticing patriots as Gov- ernor Wire, Hunter, Mason and Floyd, of Vir- ginia ; Clingman, of North Carolina ; Brooks. Keltt and Boyee, of Sowth Carolina; Cobb and Johuwon, Toombe and Stephens, of Georgia; Stide, Soulé and Benjamin, of Louisiana; the Jobnsons and the Browns, of Tennessee ; the Butlers, of Kentueky; the Atebisons and String- fellows, of Missouri; Douglas, Richardson, and others, of Illinois; the Brights, the Pettit« ood the Wrights of Indians; and those old foesil wh cs, Pierce of Maryland, Choate and Winthrop of Mas- sacbusetis, Barnard of New York, and svc), will ail have their claims for consideration. Last, though not least, Martin Ven Baren and his bope- ful son, Prince Jobn, and Dix and Dickinsoa, oa account of their invaluable services ia this eleo- tion, will be entitled to a plum, and will be disap pointed in anything less than a Calduet office, o foreign mission, or a Custom House. Here we have an abundance of materials, the only difficulty being to make such selections from ihe mass as wil! constitute apractical, harmonics, popular and satistactory Cabinet. As a@ prelimi- nary step, however, Mr. Buchanaa should first de- termine, in bis own mind, what policy he is to pursne, and what are to be the settled principles of his administration. The party electing bim is not a homogeneous party. In the South it is « filibusterivg, secession and diseniou party; in the North it is a conservative and Ualon party, bat exceedingly week in the knees. In the Soath it is clamorons for the admission of Kansas as a slave State, the general extension of slavery, and the revival of the African slave trade; ia the North it has evaded or fought the Kansas ques- tion upon the plea that Mr. Buchanan is op- posed to the extension of slavery. Many of the democratic Northern gains to the next Congress have been secured by this eva- sion, or upon this plea. The first ditfientty, therefore, and the tiret duty, of Mr, Buchanan, is tbe adoption of euch a poley, foreign and domes tic, Cabinet and spoils, as will blend the North- ern and Sontbern sections of the party into a homogeneous masa. Above all, he mast resolve to be the moster of his situation, and not t) tool of a clique of conspirators in the kitehen, \.« the unfortunate Mr. Pierce. A late article in the New Orleans Delia, whieh designates the election of Buchanan as nothing betier than a Southern armistice for four years with the North, lays down the law of Jeiferson Davis with a very bold hand. Reduced to ite simple eesence, in this manifesto of the month- piece of Jefferson Davis bis polley ix declare: be the old nullification policy of rule or with reterence to the incoming administration, Mr. Buchanan must follow the ultra slavery ex- tension programme of Mr. Davis, or suffer the consequences, Mr. Davie will have no armistice —no compromise. He holds that between the North and the South there can be, and must be no peace short of the subjugation of the one sec Uon or the other, and that it is the immediate duty of the South, “in the spirit of Carnot, to ‘ organize for victory.’ ”’ Such is the game of the dieunion factioa of the South. They must be met at the threshold. or they will rain Buchanan ar they have rel wl poor Pierce. A constitutional and cower vative policy is simple enough: but against thie Southern dieunion wing of the demo- eracy something of the will of a Jackson will be needed to enforce it. These Southern disorgani- zere do not scem to comprehend the late Fre- mont campaign. It was nota war against the South, nor against the constitutional rights of the South: it wae not a war against davrory in the States, nor set against slavery in Kansas; bat it wae resietance to the lawless and ruffianly policy of making Kansas a slave State by fire and eword. We believe that the syetem of free labor in the North and of save labor in the South may be reduced to peace, harmony avd {riendly reeiproei- ties within the Union by an honest adhesion to the « balances. compromises and compacts of the coosiitution. Aesuredily there can be no- thing but war with the dieuption of the Union, nor from te policy of euljagating the North ar the South. We are opposed, and the bulk of the Northern peuple are Oppose, to any rectional war against lavery in the South, or agaiart the elaveholders es acless, The Southern Stetes furta an impor. tent part of our common country--thelr people are our people, and we share in their prosperiies ond their reverses, But they nmiust not be ied un hee | astray by plotsing traitors aud disuniouislse—they " | muet rather be broaght back to the constitution, to reason, and a epirit of conciliation and cow Let Mr. Buchanan look to this, and he may command the support of all sections, let nd his downfall will be speedier and ¢ veer tntous then that of poor Pleree, premiere hire foil me Europe—Our Foreign Policy. The election of M . Buchanan will fall like a tbuoderclap on the European governments and people. The warm’ with which the candidatare ot Col. Fremont was espoused by the indepen- dent press and the independent publie opinion of the United States, had led them to conclude that an event whitch they had grave reasons to depre- cate would have been averted. Ignorant of our party machinery, they regarded these indications as unmistakeable evidences of the popular will. Aud eo they would have been had uot treachery, inexperience, aud the absence of an effective or- ganization combined to defeat the noblest canse which has ever engaged the sympathies of hovest men. Well may this result alarm the susceptibilitier of other nations. For them it is preguant witha world of apxiety and danger, It announces in the first place the deliberate decision of the American people in favor of the extension of slavery, and in the next, their equally deliberate adeption of the principles of the Ostend mani- testo. ‘There is no possibility of modi fying or extenuating these conclusions. Such are in effect the results achieved hy the victory of the democratic party. That they will exacerbate questions which, if they could not have been finally settled, might have been indefinitely postponed-—that they will render still more fierce and irreconcilable the hostility between the North and the South, and that they will plunge our foreign relations into a state of confusion and embarrassment still worse than that trom which we have recently been re- lieved, has long been apparent to all who have not been blinded by their party prejudices. It wag the consciousness of these dangers which en- listed in the cause of Fremont the good wishes and support of all moderate minded and sensible men, who prefer the steady progress of their country to the risks attending unscrupulous and violent efforts at aggrandizement. It was the same instinct which impelled the English and Freach journals to hail the prospects of the re- publican candidate with an eagerness and hope- fulness which only served to mark the more strongly the perils attending the eucceas of his democratic opponent. With regard to the slavery question, the con- sequences of Mr, Buchanan’s election may be ‘ooked upon as only of a temporary character, and will be set right by the operation of causes over which politicians have fortunately no con- trol. It is simply a question between free labor and slave labor ; and notwithstanding the efforts made to complicate it with other interests, on this issne alone will it ultimately be decided. If free labor be unsuited to tropical States, Northern people must in time recognise the folly of at tempting the epplication of a principle which neture herself repudiates, The people of the South will equally be compelled to acknowledge that the extension of slavery to Territories whose climate is unfitted for its developement, and where sleve labor can never hope to compete successfully with that of the white man, is equally oppoeed to sound economical principles. The question is one that will be settled amongst ourselves, and that will have no direct influence upon our relations with other coantries. All that we have to apprehend, then, from the election of an administration pledged to the extension of slavery, is that its foolish efforts to violate natural \aws will help to keep alive for some little time longer the jealousies, the heart burnings and the dissensions which at present mark the agita- tion of this question. Not so with our foreign policy as proclaimed hy the country in its choice of Mr. Buchanan. By the election of one of the authors of the Ostend manifesto we deliberately announce to the Euro- pean governments, that henceforth it is our inten- tion to pursue the aggressive, piratical and dis- honorable course in our dealings with other na- tions which was so distinctly indicated in th § remarkable State paper. Of the effect of the news of Mr. Buchanan's success on foreign interests we shall not be long before we have an oppor- tunity of judging. We are much mistaken if the London and Paris money markets do not afford immediate evidence of the public feeling abroad on this eubjeet; and it is pretty certain that she deck yards of Portsmouth and Cherbourg \ ll also betray unmistakeable indications of the light in which this event is viewed in higher quarters. ‘These anticipations are indeed inevitable corol- laries of our own action, Here we are a nation of thirty millions of people, more impulsive, ener- gvtic and daring than any other people on the face of the globe, entitled from the extent of our navel and commercial marine to be ranked as » first rate maritime Power, rieh in internal 1 9 sources, a8 well as in patriotic devotedness, and secure against invasion to a degree that no oth f country can boast of—hbere we are, we repeat, proclaiming to the world, openly and witho equivocation, that we cousider the law of migl, superior to that of right, and that we mean tonc upon it to any extent that oar sovereign pleasure may dictate. How can it be expected in the face of wach facts—with the memory of the sclomes concocted in thie country agniost Cuba, and the es- tablietunent of an American filipastering raler in Nicaragua—that the foreign governments should not regard the election of Mr. Buchanan as # gauntlet thrown down in the face of Europe, and make their preparations kecordingly? It is con- riderations like these that influenced the large vote which has been cast against the democratic nominee. Let us hope that the policy of his ad- ministration will be euch as to tranquillize, both here and abroad, the alarm which they are calcu- lated to lumpire. Gres.

This defeat of General Cass is one of the prominent landmarks of the campaign, and shows that an- der the iron heel of popular wrath the giants and the dwarfs of a demoralized party are able tobe crushed together. Important from Mexico—Dificulties with Spain—Oescent epon Caba. It will be recollected perfectly by our readers that Spain has for some time past assumed a threatening aepect towards Mexico, and that a fleet fitted out at Cuba for the purpose of eaforo- ing come pecuniary claims, accompanied by a di- plomatic agent, Senor Alvarez, recently appear- ed off Vera Cruz, with his vouchers in ove haad anda sword in the other. These claims cousisted of debts, principally, if not entirely, incurred during the sway of Santa Anna, due to Spanish houses, and amounting to about five millions of dollars, On the arrival of the fleet, Gen. Co monfort, the President of the Mexican republic, refased to treat under this exhibition of force but received the Spanish Envoy privately, and entered into a friendly discussion of the charac ter and validity of these claims, It was urged by the President that many were frauda lent in their inception, that others had been illegally transferred, that the interest was over- cbarged, and that adequate vouchers were not forthcoming. The real, the bona fide debt, the President was willing to arrange in a satisfactory manner; and upon this promise the fleet returned to Cuba. But this state of things was not satis factory to the Spanish government, The arraage- ments made with Mexico were repudiated, Senor Alvarez recalled, and now we hear of a new expedition to coerce that country into an imme- diate settlement of these claims. We now learn upon high authority, from pri- vate sources which we deem reliable, that Gen. Comonfort is ready with a counter movement, which is of a most important character, and will more or less affect the policy of our own govern- ment. It is understood that he has already upon the Rio Grande an efficient corps of military men, whe are sent there to raise a body of troops for the invasion of Cuba. Into the regiments there to be raised, Americans as well as Mexicans will be received ; and now that the ex. citement of the Presidential election is over, a Jarge amount of filibusterism will be set afloat to seek new adventures, and to gather fresh spoils. In connection with this is the fact that here ia New York there is a number of distinguished Mexicans, whose co-operation in the plans of Comonfort will most probably be secured— Generals Uraga, La Vega and Blanco, and Senor Rafael Rafael, the Mexican ex-Consul at New Orleang, composing a junta er committee which cannot but take a deep interest in the fate of their country, whatever temporary disap- pointments may have brought them to our shores. What their action will be it is not very difficult to imagine. Indeed, the election of Mr. Buchanan to the Presidency—the author of the Ostend manifesto—and the open support of that measure by the leading presses in his favor at the South, must give them every confidence that their aid avd assistance in the operations against Cuba will receive support and counte- nance from him and his party coming into power. During the interregnum—for it is nothing else ~ between the administration of Pierce and that of Buchanan, no interruption to the schemes of Gen. Comonfort and his agents in New York need be expected. In all probability they will receive, indirectly at least, the countenance of the pre- sent administration. We may, therefore, look to the invasion of Cuba under the Mexican flag as a fait accompli—the descent of a large force of Mexicans and Americans, ostensibly raised on the Rio Grande, and the conquest of the island itself. Under these circumstances, it is a matter of seme importance to this country to know what course France and England will take, and what their interests will urge them to do. England bas large Spanish and Mexican debts of her own; and Louis Napoleon has a rapport with the Court of Madrid, and a private policy which may discover itself ere long in something after ‘oe fashion of that of his uncle. The intervention of these Powers to prevent the loss of Caba t the Spanish crown is by no means improbable. The Ostend manifesto and the proposed attempt to re-open the African slave trade will nata- rally excite the alarm of these great Powers, and they may deem the time is at last arrived for an open demonstration of their opposition to any such rcbemes. Here, then, is an unexpected com- plicity of our foreign relations, which, on the back of our internal disquietudes, offers “10 bed of flowers” on which Mr. Buchanan can repos. The people of this country may find, like Damocles, that the sword is over their head, suspeuded by a single buir. ‘Tne Fracas av tae Crry Hais.—We publish elsewhere the charge of Recorder Smith to the jury in reference to the election riots ia the First ward. For the last day or two we have been publishing affidavits aod other details of infor- mation with regard to those riots ; we are rather surprised to see that some of the papers talk of a war between the Mayor and the Recorder on the subject. There is no war that we have beard of between those officials, Mr. Smith, the Recorder, wauted to bo Mayor, but failed in getting the nomination. Mr, Ca pron, the City Judge, wanted to be continued in his office, but was beaten at the polls. Ditfe- rent from these persons, Fernando Wood, who aleo wanted to be Mayor, was elected to the office, This difference of fortune has led to some little seperity of feeling on the part of these two gen tiemen toward Mayor Wood; feeling themselves broken down and nearly fiaished as politicians, they have indulged a Quixotic desire to termi- nate their career with a fine floarish of rome kind. They firet thought of frightening the po- lice, and a pair of foolish letters accordingly ap- peared in the papers warning the police that the City Judge aud Recorder would be after them with a sbarp stick on election day, However thix move may have euccecded as aa indication of the extraordinary enerwzy of these officials, it was the less effective with the police, as the mom- bers of that uncommely acute force were well aware that Judge Capron goes out at New Year, oud that between this and then he can hardly decapitave many offenders. Nothing disgusted—perhaps unaware of their failure in thie particolar—theee ventlemen have now termed their attention to Mayor Wood, and threaten him with all manner of veageauee, So far ae we can ascertain, the Mayor appears mere- ly to have exevelsed, to the best of his judgrarnt ana discretion, hie right as ® magistrate; for whieh Messrs Capron aad Smith want to send hire to jail, We hope they will relont from this erael design.

THe AcADEMY—Svcorss oF ue Resetas Ievasion.—There is an armistice in the Opera war. Peace, the white robed ange!, Coveul Phalen, and a quiet calm pervades the gentle breasts of the young ladies in the Fifth avenue, while Mademoiselle Traphagen aud all the other Broadway dealers in Opera cloaks rkip like young lambs, clap their hands and sing for joy. Practically speaking, the renowned Russian Monsieur le Baron de Stankovitch has sustained the national reputation for diplomacy, and ap- pears quite as able as Orloff or Wikoff in that field. He has concluded a treaty with the Ex- ceutive Committee, and although we bave not the text, we are able to state the points. M. le Baron de Stankoviteh on his part agrees to pay se- ven bundred and fifty dollars per week gent, and takes the house for six weeks, Max Maretzek was not to conduct the orchestra unless he apologized to the Committee, but it is stated that Max Maretvck will not apologize, and the conductor’s chair will be filled temporarily by the leader. The house will be opened by the La Grange company, on Monday next, with the “Trovatore,” of course. Field Marshal Maretzek will, we suppose, profit by our advice and take a short season of repose, during which he can take a look at Niagara Falle and a run out ‘o that plaatation ia Kentucky. We expect a remarkable season under the La Grange management, and we shall see how the Baron gets on with the stockholders. What we should like to sce—and the public is with us, we believe—would be Thalberg as the musical director. With the artists that he could gather around him, we could have an operatic campaign of unexampled brilliancy. However, that is an after consideration, and it is gratifying to see a fine musical week before us. We shall have the Opera on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and Thalberg’s concerts on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and probably Saturday. Nearly all the places for Thalberg’s first concert were taken before noon yesterday. So the young ladies can get out all their pretty dresses—there’s a good time coming. Vive Opera! vive Thalberg! Tre Cuarces AGAINsT THE Westeysn Mis- SIONARIES AT THE FeEsEE Istanps.—In another column will be found a communication from a Salem shipmaster, in reply to ceriain charges against the Wesleyan missionaries at the Feejee Islands, contained in a letter signed David Stu- art, which appeared in our columns a short time since. We have now given both sides of the story, and leave our readers to draw their own conclusions as to the facts. The communication referred to also contains some severe strictures on the conduct of Commander Boutwell in the en- forcement of the claims arising out of the de- struction of the town of Levuka by the Islanders, We give these statements because they are sup- ported in part by official documenta. Although they are to a certain extent exparte in their char- acter, our readers will agree with us that the pe culiar circumstances of the case justify usin placing them before the public. It is but right that grievances of this sort, occurring at such re- mote distances front the seat of redress, should find some prompt exponent near the general go- vernment. THE LATEST NEWS.
