Ie Late Libel Trials in England—Lord Malmeabury’s Speech and the English AUiance—Stagnation of Trade— Morbid State of the Public Mind—A Political Volcano Commencing to Grumble—The Algerian Government the Weather and Harvest—Naval Preparations at Cher- tourg. ‘The English government sre certainly doing all in thelr power to avoid a collision with France. The long ex- pected trials of Trueloye and Tohorzewski have eva- porated in smoke. Unless they had done so there is no knowing what consequences might have followed another ‘ef Mr. James’ speeches. Earl Cowley, the British Am- basrador here, wrote in the strongest terms to Lord Malmesbury, stating his belief that anything like such another exhibition as took placo on Bernard’s trial ‘would render the Emperor perfectly powerless to pre- werve the peace, Still the result is by no means satisfac. tory to the ultra Bonapartist elique. Mr. James’ philip- pic has been stifled to be sure, but a compromise, it is argued, of a most disparaging character to the alliance has been entered into with the defendants, and it is impos- sible that amity can long be maintained with a people ‘and country who can suffer the publisher of such brochures to pass away unmolested. The snake is, in fact, scotched, but not killed, Lord Malmesbury, too, has given mortal offence by the part he took in the slavery debate which recently oc- curred in the Houseof Lords, The statements made on that occasion are, by the government journals, stigma- tized as * incorrect ana lying assertions, serving only as a pretext for the calumnies and sanguinary declarations of the British peers; and it is particularly complained . that Lord Malmesbury, knowing them to be such, did not contradict them. “France,” says the Pays, ‘is the civilized and gene- rous nation par excellence; this is known in Asia, Africa ‘and America, and itis not true that she inflicts on the emigrant blacks a punishment which England reserves for her soldiers.”” ‘There is still, I regret to say, the same general stagna- tion in commercial relations so long complained of. There never wore, of late years, so few Americans and English im Paris as at the present time; and that department of twade—and in Paris its proportion to the whole is immense —which depends on foreigners, languishes to a degree that looks really ominous. The money changers, whose commerce only exists on foreign arrivals, will tell you they are absolutely not doing @ fourth of the business as ‘at the same period in 1857, though even that was by no means a favorable yar. The large silk houses are cur, tailing their expenses wherever possible, in consequence of the elackness of business. Jewellers, the manufac turers of bronzes, articles of bub] and marquetrie, lace manufacturers, restaurateurs, places of public amusement, al sing the same song of lamentation and wear the same dirgeful look. | Thave been told by parties capable of gleaning their , imformation (rom the most authentic sources, that never, ‘gince the last revolution, was the public mind #0 diseased; r- t men seem waiting, anticipating, not to say Inying ‘Mans, for a great crash, and that they seem to be firmly persuaded that without it there is no hope for them. 1 Have heard that private lists of proprietors’ names are registered and passed from one to the other, who will be offered up as a holocaust to popular vengeance in case of the long expected casualty befalling the Emperor. It is * said that the form of government is a'ready arranged, and that the day of retributicn will be terrible. The Emperor is known, in fact, to be seriously uneasy. His contemplated journey to Plombieres is for the moment postponed, and day after day he is em- ployed in receiving at St. Cloud deputations from various departments of commerce, and doing all in his power to ; allay an excitement beyend his control. In all public * — securities heaviness continues to be the prominent charac- _ teristic of the market. The removal of the truculent ‘¢ General Espinasse and the substitution of M. Delangle has, Vas I predicted, done little or nothing to restore public con- fidence at home or abroad, and many do not scruple to »- say that the tide of the Emperor’s fortune is fast ebbing. Jt is certain that a place like Paris cannot be suffered to remain in its present position. A revolution here supplies the place of a general Presidential election with you, of a change of ministry in England, or an appeal to the consti- tuency; and whenever the shoe pinches, no matver what the cause, thia is looked upon as the proper remedial measure. They have always taken their commencement from this capital, and unless the capital gets into a belter temper there is no saying how soon revolution may begin again. Among the middle classes there is a general moodi. ness of temperament, which fastens eagerly upon the court and its entouroge. Go wherever you will, you will hear comparisons respecting the luxurious position of membe rs of the Imperial family, made in the ‘‘beggar on horseback” style, which, it must be admitted, the man- ners aud general conduct of these fortunate persons has not done much to qualify; and it is remarked that while Fraace bas none of the dignity and princely bearing that gave a certain prestige to highly favored individuals ‘under a previous state of things, the a(fectation of supe- riority, the reckless expenditure and the dominating ex- elosivences remain in full force. The negotiations relating to the transfer of Jerome Bonaparte’s son’s valuable services to the government of that the advice given by this gentleman to Prince Napoleon ‘was tothe effect, ‘that in the present state of publicfeeling fat home and abroad, throughout the depariments as in tho capital, thore was no saying what might happen any our; that it was well to recollect what wences fol. lowed tho house of Orleans from the absence of two of the sons in Algiers, and that it would be more prudent to re- main within reach in case of fay beget ~ SM Girardin is said, moreover, to have added, that it was in the power of a Bonaparte, thoroughly imbued with the e i By cali i 55335 eth ‘The them, with ite muitifold requirements, is not the abso _ Jute necessity it is in Eagtand, and consequently domestic gets very much out of its stilts, as in hot weather ed with nitogether.

They will be accompanied by the young Prinoess Alexandrina, a great favorite with their Majesties, who seem to have adopted her after she bad been left, as it were, an orphan, by the desertion of both her parents. She is a daughter of Prince Albert, the King’s yeungest brother, who got divorced some years since from his wife, a sister of the King of the Nether- lands, in order (o marry a Indy of lower degree, but of greater persons! attractions, while his quondam spouse retired to a ville in the north of Italy, where she is said to bave contracted a similar mésalliance. Prince Frederick Wiig lam started last Saturday for Grondents and Konigsberg, ‘a visit he had promised the loyal citizens of those parts to pey them, in company with his bride, whom, however, he has been obliged to leave at home for certain family reasons which I alluded to in a former report. As for Prince Frederick Charles, the utmost mystery is still observed respecting the cause of the sudden “leave of absence” accorded him, but it is positive that he is about to quit tho couutry “for bis country’s good,” on a grand tour—to the East Indies or some other out of the way place, from which he is not expected to return in leas than a twelyemonth. ‘There are ill natured folks who would not mind if he were never to come back at all. Prince Adalbert, the Lord High Admiral of Prussia, whose brilliant ‘‘victory” over the Riff pirates will hardly have escaped the memory of your readers, intends mak- ing a cruise in the Baltic to try the properties of a new screw yacht called the Whim, construeted for tho Prussian government in the dockyards of Cherbourg. In imitation of the King and Princese, our leading statesmen are planning summer excursions, to escape awhile from the duties of their station, and from the fatigue of governing an unthankful people. The Prime Minister will spend a few weeks at one of the estates he has purchased since entering office, and will then prepare for the labors of the ensuing session by a course of sea bathing at Ostend or Nordemey, in conjunction with his brother, the Minister for Agriculture. Tne Minister of Commerce is going to Switzerland, the Minister of Finance and his colleague of the Interior, who are both in a state of great (political) debility, will repair to their country seats to try the bracing effects of their native air, and so on to the end of the chapter. ‘The corps diplomatique, too, is on the wing.

Tho well meant efforts of the Prince of Prussia to bring about a reconciliation between Don Miguel and the reign- ing family of Portugal have proved unsuccessful.

The American democracy gives us cause, from time to time, for strange surprises. It is not un- common to hear of some brutal irruption of bucca- neers on the borders of Kansas, of some new filibus- tering bit preparing, of some slave trader sailing under the American flag and captured by a British cruiser animated by too much zeal, and who is eagerly disavowed by his government for the sake of Fu ‘and in consideration of the cotton question. e story of a pagilistic fight in Congress is not a yery new thing for us. But, if we learn all at once that the great city of New York is given up to dis- order, to violent struggles of two rival bg Ag of two inimical polices, and that blood runs in barri- caded streets; if the news reaches us that in Wash- ington, even, the generally peaceful seat of the go- vernment, municipal elections cannot take without violence and bloody battles; if, finally, a steamer brings the particulars, hour by hour, of a drama of which the city of New Orleans has been the theatre, we wonder how the American republic, where we were told that absolute liberty was to reign without, peril, should not be free from those painful calamities. It is true that we remain nearly nade “nd ignorant of the causes of those distant events which have a purely local character, and for those very reasons we are inclined to exaggerate their bearing. There are some among us for whom a municipal an energetic resistance in the midst of a city afflicted by bandits, appear, at a distance as frightful symp- toms of a revolution which threatens the whole coun- try, and which, spreading itself from the mouths of the Miarerton to the great lakes of the North, from the Pacific to the Atlantic, is going to change entirely the destinies of the New World. Weshould be cau- tious regarding those ignorant ersions and those excessive alarms. Undoubtedly the United States contain many elements of future commotions; and we are not such great adnfirers of the system which reigns there now, thanks to certain exceptional con- ditions of a limited duration, that we should feel disposed to palliate the, defects of a scarcely orga- nized society. Neither is it a reason that we should take pleasure in exaggerating the importance of the accidents of which we speak. The disturbances which have just taken place in New Orleans cannot, however, be lessened to the in- significant proportions of domestic and purely local disorder. We know that they are the conse- quence of an administration which has been for several years in the guilty hands of a party which would wish to extend its calamitous influence over the whole American Union. That party is the one called, mysteriously, Know Nothing, and its doctrines exhibit it as the champion of a u system of political and religious intolerance. The Know Nothings manifest themselves by their hatred for foreigners, and by a violent fanaticiam in the formula, “America for the Americans,” which is a formal denial of the history of their coon, and, in the meantime, in its present te ag sen if it was possible to carry it out, would be the falsest and the most deplorable of maxims. It seems that for the three or four last years the Know Nothin, reigned in the capital of Louisiana, the thefts, murders, the crimes of all kinds perpetrated in open daylight and with impunity, have multiplied them- selves in a frightful manner. The journals of that unfortunate city describe them to us in a really mournful picture, and which reminds us of the most barbarous times. The Louisiana Courier says that the order of things established there is ignominious; it entreats all honest and cow ous men to rege- nerate Sodom; it asks that bl should cease to ran; that paid murderers should not any longer be permitted 5 promenade the streets and boast of their crimes. To incite public indignation and awaken the energy of the good citizens, the Courier reminds its readers of women themselves sometimes outraged under the very eyes of a father, a mother ora husband. Finally, it exclaims that the hour is a solemn one, and that it is time to clear the city of the bandits who decimate it. That mournful picture of the situation of New Or- leans sufficiently explains the formation of a Com- mittee of Vigilance, similar to that established some years ago in San Francisco, to introduce some order and justice into that rising city, mostly settled by adventurers and bandits of all the nations of the world. In the already old capital of Lonisiana, as in the midst of the young and bratal goes. of Cali- fornia, the honest men have been obliged to form a league for the return of public security, and to inan- gurate, with the best intentions, a reign of salutary terror. The municipal elections of the 7th of Jane had been chosen as an excellent opportunity to attempt that laudable undertaking. From the 2d of Jane the sound fraction of the population had formed a aa organization and prepared itself to resist the violent manauvres, by means of which the Know Nothings had already won the victory on similar oc The mittee of Vigilance a eg fs it success in tl of the Mayor, Prone wers t to expire; but the last telegraphic news tells us that the elections have once more given the vic to the Know Nothings, their candidate for the highest office of the munict | administration having obtained nearly 300 ma- Pate, This triumph is, er, lessened by the defeat which that dangerous party has sustained for several less important offices of the municipality. The same despatches add that after the elections the Committee of Vigilance had disbanded; but it re- mains doubtful if it has renounced its intention to still farther resist. Now, if we endeavor to understand how the great- est number of yotes in a city like New Orleans has been given to the partisans of disorder—to men who incite hatred inst the newly arrived foreigners so much as to make them victims of the most criminal attacks—the whole American press agrees in ascrib- ing that deplorable result to a single cause. This canse is the apathy of the honest men in oe of the evil doers, always bolder; itis, in one word, the guilty forbearance of the good citizens when called upon to fuitil the duties imposed upon them by the rule of universal suffrage. Such is the origin of frightfal tyranny which one of the most important cities of the American republic endures, notwith- standing the efforts of some of its inhabitants. It was, perhaps, not useless to show to what dangers a community is ¢: , which, after having autho- rized universal sul in ita midst, leaves, by an excess of indifference, that powerful weapon in most unworthy hands. ‘Women’s Rights and French Marriages. Paris (June 20) Correspondence ot London Giode. } lowever capricious and unjust may be the mar- riage law here as to nuptials contracted abroad, the rights of the woman are on a far different footing than in England. To illostrate this, a case was de- cided yesterday, when Mme. Noblet, the actress of the Theatre Francais and Odeon, having married in 1842.0 Sieur Delamarree, then pennyless, in 1857 be- came the victim of ill-treatment. She had a splen- did villa at Thernes, rich furniture, and a stock of 3,000 bottles of primest vintage.

The Court roled that he should confine himeelf to his own sittin, and to a particular bin of liquids, until fw orders, the rest of the apartments at once to be put under seal, and secured to his better half. ‘The following is another curious fact:—Mr. Pugh, an Englishman, carrying on business at the = nolles for supplying ‘rails, applied on the 17th ult. the Civil nal to grant him a separation from his wife, a Frenchwoman, on the pons of adaltery. Before his case was stated, Mdme. Pugh, through her counsel, raised the objection that tribunal conld not entertain the action, inasmuch as by her age ‘ and French courts have no jurisdiction over foreign- ers in snch matters, She, nevertheless, called on the tribunal to decree that, as a provisional measure, Mr. Pugh should be ordered to py her 1,000f. down, and 6,000f. a year, and that their two ——_ be ven up to her, they being Roman Cathofics as she , Whereas Mr. Pagh is a Protestant.

A case of a very painful nature, but of considera- ble interest, was ‘submitted, on 20th of June, to the Tribunal of Correctional Police, Paris. A woman, named Mesmeurice, 48 years of age, and who stated that she lived on her property, was tried on the dl of what the French law calls “ outraging ral ity, and exciting girls under age to debauch- oy police officer said that on the morning of the ith of May last, as he was on duty in the Rue de la Pompe, Passy, he heard cries of “ Help,” “ Murder,” in a house, and on entering he found, in a splendidiy farnished apartment on the ground floor, a young Englishwoman, remarkably handsome, who com- lained that the mistress of the place had been beat- her. He took both the women before the Com- alnary of Police, and that functionary, after hear- ing ad a they had to say, had the elder taken into custody. The ident, addressing the prisoner, said, “You are accused of exciting to debauchery?” “ It is not true, sir?” “Listen to me—you are accused of hav- Hag frequently received young girls from England, of letting furnished apartments to them, and of giv- ing them up to men.” “My advocate will explain, sir—I am so troubled.” “Answer my question.

Amongst the girls was one of sixteen or seventeen years of age, Charlotte Balthazar by name, who will be called as a witness, and this girl you intro- duced toa very wealthy man—a Russian prince, it is said—he paying you liberally?” “Itis true that a Russian prince sometimes came to the house, but it was not | who made him known to Charlotte—they knew each other before.” “You are accused of having brought this girl from Eng- land to speculate on her beauty?” “I did not go there to seek her—she came to me.” “Did you not frequently to England?” “I did, but it was on Business,” “What business?” ‘To seek money due to me.” “Due by whom?” “Sir, it was an old friend, who made me an allowance.” “It is easy enough to get over money from England, and you no need to fy there to seek it.” “I have nothing to do, and I like travelling.” “And ou knew how to make bye travelling profitable.

Whe& she came to me she said that she was an Irish woman who had come from England, and that she was in distress.” ‘Call the girl,” said the Presi- dent; “she shall tell her own story.” The girl then stepped forward. She is remarka- bly handsome, with a brilliant complexion and black hair, tall and graceful. “What is your name?” ask- ed the President. ‘Maria Theresa Balthazar,” said the girl. “Your name is not Charlotte?” ‘No, sir; that is a name which Mdme.

It is situated on the east slope of the range, just above the plain of the Bukaa, and is distant from Beyrout a day’s journey of eight hours, or about half way between this and Damascus. It is considered the head-quarters of Romanism in this place, the poe riding themselves upon being all members of either he Latin or the Greek Catholic churches. The Jesuits, all Frenchmen, have a large nt in the place; and the Greek Catholics—that is, mem- bers of the Greek church who are in communion with Rome—have a bishop, a convent, and numerous priests in the town. Some six months ago an Ame- rican missionary of the Preabyterian church took up bis residence at Zahleh, with the intention of learning the Arabic laaguags, and also of seeing whether, in time, schools could not be established in the place. The people themselves were glad to see this gentle- man, as all over Syria the American schools have a first rate name; but the priests were exceeding): angry at his presumption for coming amongzst their flock, and several times wrote him letters warning him to leave the ae The missionary—whose name, by the way, is Dod—replied that he was in his own pnt in living where he liked; that he was not aware of Hering given anybody ay offence; and that, with all due deference to the in it ecclesiastics, he would remain where he was. For a time he was left unmolested; but upon his concluding a bargain for the hire of a house, which he engaged for a term of seven years, the storm burst out again. One of the chief Greek Catholic priests visited him at the small hotel where he was living, and said that unless he took his departure forthwith the Ci of the town would rise and stone him out of the place. Mr. Dod answered that he did not think that likely, for the inhabitants of Zahleh had always shown themselves kind towards him. A few days afterwards (only a fortnight ago), some ten or a dozen of the same order of priests, together with one of the French Jesuits, came to his house, and brought with them mules, up- on which they said he must pack up his baggage and be off. They were not accompanied by any of the townspeople; but they said they were acting under the orders of the bishop. Mr. said to them that if forced to go he could not help himself, but declared he would never move from what he consi- dered his post of duty, of his own accord. Uj this, these gentle ministers of the Gospel, with own sacred hands threw out of the windows all his books, clothes and furniture; as also all that be- longed to his wife and child—the latter an infant in arms. The French Jesuit took no active part in the proceedings; but he did not prevent—which he might have done by a word, as native priests in ie have the greatest fear and reverence for all ‘uropean monks, and more particularly for those of his order—the others acting as they |. The wo- man—an old Italian, who keeps the small inn at Zahleh, where Mr. Dod was living—remonstrated with them for treating her lodger as they did; but all she made by her move was to be beaten by them very severely. = were then proceeding to eject Mr. Dod and his wife; but as the former did not wish to expose a lady to the hands of these fellows, he volunteered to move off at once. One would have thought that in a lonely far off place like Yahieh, and, above all, under the circumstances Ihave mentioned, an establishment composed of European men of education, more Py, men who professed to be ministers of the Gospel, and who call their order by the name of our common Sa- viour, would have offered Mr. Dod - some assistance, some shelter at least, until he could make ments for his departure. But not so. The Jesuits of the pace never so much as made him the slightest offer of assistance in any way whatever, and under a burning Syrian sun, ata moment's notice, was this gentleman obliged to move off ov mountains, with his wife and young child, on a journey of eight hours, to the house of the brother missionary who lives at Bhamdoon. It is but just to the Turkish authorities to aay that. they are not to blame for this ontrage. Zahleh has long been in a sortof passive rebellion against the Pacha, and has paid no taxes for two years. In fact, the people of place do very much as the: like, and the only persons who have any comman’ over them are priests and monks of the town.

Simon (the French captain) obtains his blacks in Monrovia itself, the very headquarters of black freedom and independence.

An a tojanything approaching to a revival of the slave trade, has been carried to a pitch of fana- ticism among a certain class of advocates, with the result of seriously embarrassing operations cal culated to educe most essential benefit to all the par- ties concerned. The London Post of 23d ult., says:—The trade in hoaman beings between Hong Kong and Cuba, as Lord Brougham remarked, must be atterly suppresa- ed. It cannot be regulated, because we cannot exert authority in Cuba sufficient for the pur- = of ing the emigrants, and en- forcing the ements under which they are landed as_ hi servants; that we trust that the dreadful disclosures to which we have now directed attention may not produce hasty and inaccurate conceptions, and so lead to an unjast prejudice against the importation of free laborers into our own anderpeopled possessions.

The London News of 21st of June comments thus on the position of the Bank of France:—The largest accumulation of bullion in the Bank of France ever known took place in the year 1851, when the total reached £22,748,800 sterling. The sum now held ia only about two millions below that extraordinary amount; yet, apart from a little superficial activity in the speculative world, the great commercial inter- ests of France remain almost unprecedentedly de- pressed. The general prospects of the French market be- come still more anxious, if credit 1s to be pe ta such statements as that lately put for by the Journal des Actionnaires, which estimates at be- tween £68,000,000 and £72,000,000 sterling the pro- bable cost of the 6,201 kilometres of railway which have been actually conceded, and still remain to be constructed in France. The London Times of 25th of June, in an editorial on the Reeerbageroanuyent of India, says:—India is to be worse before she can be better. things are at the worst, and hope itself is gone, then Eng- land will renounce the ambition of governing two hundred millions, and aspire to teach, to train, and to emancipate them. The Hamburg correspondent of the London Post, writing on Dat of June, says:—The first meeting of the Conference of those German States which have an interest in the navigation of the Elbe, was ta have taken place here on the 14th inst., but it waa deferred until the 17th, in consequence of the absence of the representative of the Austrian government; but as that gentleman had then made his appear- rations commenced, and it is much to ance the delil be desired that the result may prove beneficial to the important commercial interests concerned. That it is worth looking into, it might be considered uffl- cient to say that the sums thus illegally levied, both on the river and on the railways since their openings as a compensation to the interested States, are little short of the annual sum of 900,000 thalers, or nearly £150,000—about four times the amount of the Stade dues.
