AFFAIRS IN EUROPE. Enfranchisement of the Russian Serfs. We published in the Heraxp of Thursday last the ‘mmperial decree of the Czar Alexander Il. for the partial enfranchisement of the serfs in Russia, issued on the 20th November (old style) or December 2 of our calender, The decree was accompanied by let- ters of instruction from the Minister of the Interior, Lenskoi, explanatory of the Emperor’s mode of car- rying out that project. We translate from Le Nord, the official Russian organ in Brussels, and publish below these letters of the Minister of the Interior. ‘They furnish a complete developement of the plan proposed by the Emperor Alexander for the progres" sive enfranchisement of the serfs in the Russian em- r Le Nord, Dec. 21.) ‘The follow the letter of imatruction addressed by the Ministerof tho Interior to the Military Governor of ‘Vilno and the Governor-General of Kovno and Grodno, under the date of November 21 (old style) or December of our calendar :— had the pleasure to lay before his , the Empe- , the communications your Hxcellency ad ed to me to the desire e: by the committees com- posed of the marshals of the nobility and the land pro- in the governments of Vilne, Grodno and Kovno the revision ofthe system of inventories. satisfaction this of the representatives of the three aforesaid governments. the ‘the for the composition of the committees and the commission extablished to that end, as well as for the order of their labors, his Majesty deigned to iasue the following or- ders: 1.

The meseage recently communicated to Congress by the President of the United States resommends the construc- milit defence. The line 51 by Mr. Buchanan will through some of the newly acquired territories seal Pacific. Mr. ofthe United States to the Buchanan adds that the difficulties connected with an un- dertaking of this description have been gr exagge- rated, and that by a wise expenditure of publi assisted by private enterprise and free grants of land, this line, of so much im on military as well as com- mercial grounds, at some distant day be completed.

From 1846 to 1857 there is, ina naval poimt of view, and perhaps also in a political one, more than the distance of a century. The work from which we have quoted (the Nicaragua Canal, by Prince Louis Napoleon, a translation from the Keoue May, 1849,) estimated at scarcely 900,000 tons the of all the vessels which doubled Cape Horn annually, and in that amount California was only quoted from memory.

This priviley regen for which Prince Louis Na- poleon promised such brilliant destinies in 1846, hag been for the two last years the theatre of the exploits of an army of American filibusters, without European eee Bey taking alarm at this flagrant violation of inter law. Those t lakes of Nicaragua and Managua, which have one lay to be used as harbors for the navy of the whole world, are now serving as a highway for the bands of Walker, and no English or French ship ever dared until now to puta stop to it. This city of Massaya, so providen- ugly ‘situated between the two lakes, like Constantinople ween its two seas, has seen the conflagration and pil- lage of its neighbor Granada, the judicial assassination of Minister Mayorga and of Gen. Corral, and all the frightful scenes of a revolution, accomplished by buccaneers, and it trembles perhaps at this moment lest it should again be- come a prey to these bandits.

But now itappears, all at once, that Central America iteelf gives a glorious denial to that too hasty judgment. The head of one of its small republics de- clares war against the invaders. Instantly national senti- ment awakes; Congress meets; citizens offer their aid; an army is organized, and the courage of its chief impels them forward; the filibusters are attacked in fortresses; 1 acihhering pene unite their efforts against the common foe; Walker is finally driven from Nicaragua after a year’s Sgbting, and the Spanish race of Central America thus proves by dint of heroism that it is worthy to keep these magnificient regiovs, and to preside over the destinies which are prophesied for them.

Morriil transmitted his annual mes- sage to the Legislature of Maine on the 6th inst, Gov. Morrill is a temperance men, and « large share of the mes- sage is occupied with the discussion of the question of temperance. He favors prohibition, and recommends that whatevor law the Legislature may pass touching this sub- Jeet be submitted to the people for their decision. The Governor is peculiarly happy on the question of slavery, amd discusses the matter as if the whole setdlement of the present perplexing difficulties was to be settled in Maine. We give him the benefit of a portion of his argument:— At the period of the formation of the government the fscpenindiadicn armas and the trailic in slaves had deen accurately and determined by the civil. ized nations of the earth; in regard to which there‘was no difference of sentiment or opinion among the mass of the people of this country, its statesmen, philosophers and philanthropists. The constitution af the United States was based upon and wed the same principles and theory of govern- ment which had been before asserted; and the constitu- tion and the Declaration of Independence are paris of one consistent whole—and that work was consummated by the former which bad been begun by the latter. ‘The government, under the constitution, was conducted upon these principles, and the sentiments and policy theretofore existing still prevailed—slavery in the Terri- tories was prohibited—the slave trade was denounced as piracy and interdicted, and the Congress, in rey in- stances, interposed to prevent the extension of slavery in- to free territory. The statesmanship of the early days of the republic took cognizance of the fact that two races of men were here, the subjects of government and civilization—that one wag the dominant race, whose was the duty of go- verning and guiding—and it did not hesitate to declare those nae ge 4 of personal freedom which are equally the rights of all, and sought wisely to guide the destinies ‘of both in the light of these principies. ‘The statesmanship of to-day ignores these self-evident truths—sees the two races confront each otuer upon the same soil, but holds that one has no rights that the other is bound to respest—asserts a principle which gives him No right to govern but the accident of present power, and thus seeks to bind up the destinies of both with the degra- of the black race, difference in the two systems is radical and infinite. ‘The latter, it is neodless to say, is repugnant to our theory of government. It is too absurd for argument and tov ms. for discussion. rst systematic attempt to reduce the new dogmas I= Ubrough the administration of the government federal legislation, was made in the repeal of the Mis- souri r striction. ‘The object of this repeal is now declared by one of its supporters to have been ‘to put the slavery question uj gome common ground where @ party could be rallied strong enough to administer the government justly upon other than purely sectional ideas—to remove the oy ander which the domestic institutions of the South had not to, it was a grest advance upon the old order of things, because it removed an unjust and odious discrimination against her domestic institutions from the statute book, a moral triumph which was of ‘vast importance to the Sout and to the institution of sla- very iteelf.”” «“Squatter sovereignty’’—the pretext for repeal—is illus. by civil war and disorder—the will of the people set at defiance by armed bands of men alien to the Terri- tory —national sicife, content to determine whether liberty or slavery, poasese the country once plédgea to free labor, and fashion the institutions which are abont to spring up there, io which slavery aud une national ad- ministration rule the hour against freedom and freemen— slavery established in Kansas, the aoe to reetst it, and at last the government—popular sovereignty ‘and the natioual administration engaged 4 upon the State a constitation against the known will of the people. A pertion of the federal judges, in harmony with the eon nee, uttor the dicta that “the eoustitution of Jnited States recogn'zes property in slaves,"’ and Wedges the federal government to protect it, and that Congress has no right to prohibit the siaveholder from taking his slaves into the Territories. ‘The President of the United States unofficially declares and assumes that slavery exists in Kansas under the con. stitution—that this point haa at last been settled by the highest tribunal known to our laws, and tat it “is myste rious that it ever could have been seriously doubted.” » Thus, in quick and rapid succession, a revolution ix at tem; legislative, judicial and executive depart ments of the government, and would now be complete and thorough ; but for the extra-judicial and extra official quali ty of the acts.

Mr. Clowes replied that he did not feel like Mr. P. then ven him, About half-past four o’clock Mr. Shay went to the room Clo ing on the bed. Soon after Shay entered the room ‘owes raised up his head, called Shay to him, extended bis band and bace him farewell. As he had been talking of going South, Shay asked him where he was going. Clowes then replied, “I wm be a dead man in ten minutes hay tola hits be aust bo ‘reaming ming, as Bo nanpecied tha mt 7 a8 he suspected that Clowes had been drioking. On ‘ing about the room and disceruing no phial, S. thought very little of the remark, but when Mr. Payne came, Mr. Shay repeated ittohim. Knowing that Mr. C. desired to see Dr. Davis, Mr. 8. went for him and as the two returned to the room, tof him what C. bad said. Dr. D. knowing the deceased well, took it as an idle remark, and on secing him, sup that he had only drank too much. At supper time ir.

Drs. Davis and Jeter and Messrs. Shay and Payne sat inthe room laughing and talking, without hearing anything to arouse their suspi- cions until ten o'clock, when Drs.

On looking at Mr. Clowes ue appeared go very pale, that Mr. Shay put his band upon fim, and fisding him cold and pulecless, aroused Mr, Payne and sent for several physici , but when they arrived, the vital spark bad fled (orevér. The deceased seemed to have passed from life to death with- out aotrnage, his countenance being as calm and com- posed as if in a profound sleep. Beneath the pillow of the bed fon which the deceased was ging wee found the following note, written in a free, business like hand:— 0 THE WORLD. ‘When a man commits suicide, the world wishes to know why he did it. The answer in my case lies ina nut shell —‘T am tired of living.” Lifo is a farce, happiness a hum- bug, and the cares, trials and tribulations which I gee be- fore me, offer no inducement for a prolongation of this earthly sorrow. With a good heart anda calm mind, I plunge in medias res and try the realities of an unknown world, Looking forth upon the horizon of my life, all looks dark and dreary, save one spot, where twinkles the star of hope and love. To those of my friends who have watched my career for the past three years, they will seo nothing strange in my present determination, It is not rash, for I have calmly considered and debated it for two months. Iam not mad, but perfectly calm, cool and col- lected. The future has nothing of promise, and I leave the world with but a single regret. To my friends I would say fer’ bye; and of my enemies, if I have any, I fe would asl forgiveness. Poverty is a dreadful curse when coupled with discontent. God ime in this present hour! Farewell—farewell forever! . H. CLOWES. In a note addressed to a friend, the deceased requested to have the following intcription placed upon his tomb- etone:— Died, January 6, Wm- H.

He next went to New Orleans, and from thence the Delta, but be- coming tired of the pen joined the army, received an ap- pene and was on the steamer with Lockridge when bl ‘alker’s men. On returning to the United States we next hear of him as writing for the Memphis Bulletin; but being of @ to Nicaragua, as a correspondent of lew up and killed and weunded so many of restless mind, he soon returned to his native State, and to Richmond, was temporarily employed in the Second Auditor’s office.
