2 every person snpnosed fo be acquainted with Awerican politics 1s this: “ What do you mean to dv with the English creditors of Mexico?” And en being assured that they shall not be forgotten, and that British goods snail find a market in Mexico, all signs of apprehension appear to vanish 7 once. Again let me, through the columns of the 5 call on Gen. Sam out at once and Houston to come secure ul sid for his Mexican march five thousand men into Mexico and establish an Indian empire on an improved plan, or annex the whole country, down tothe Isthmus of Tehuantepec. My word for it, England and the English press will applaod the Anglo Saxon proeresa in the New World. There is no disposition that I can discover on the part of the British government to throw ob- stacles in our way; for the present ministry, at least, have given up all idea of practising hegemony on the American continent. You will perha| object to some of these views, ellude to the New Caledonia bill, before Parlia- nt, with every ible chance for its pa: ‘Thia bill assuredly looks as if troubles of an un fined character might spring up from the gold dis- coveries on Frazer river; but a more careful consi- deration of the subject will convince you that the es- tablishment of a colonial government, bei sufficient ——— is the only means of preventing a collision tween American and Canadian emigrants and dig- gers. It is the absence of anthority that might lead to misunderstandings and mutual crimination, not its proper and nate exercise. It the British government shows as much sagacity and sense in the selection of the Governor of New Caledonia as — Bo yee in the ceotoe of pe 2 ee L ig for w we are indebted to Lord Palmerston), no trouble need be expected in that quarter. The gold found on the Frazer river will not last forever, and when that is gone, American indi and enterprise will soon establish their supremacy on the whole coast of the Pacific. ch, delivered at Mr. Peabody's Mr. Mason’s spee‘ banquet, will be published to-morrow ; himself has return@i to Paris, where the effect of it will no doubt be a beneficial one. Mr. Mason paid a very high tribute of respect and admiration to the French Em- peror, who, he feels assured, is the friend and ally of the United States, as he is the friend and ally of Great Britain. The Emperor likes to bear these things, and will no doubt stroke his moustache when reading them. He is, beyond a question, the great- est man in Europe, aod Paris is, no doubt, the cen- tre of Europe. It is, no doubt, for him to say how long the entente cordiale shall last ; for on this side of the channel‘no one thinks of disturbing it. The fact that the initiative rests with bim, is of immense litical consequence, and marks the relative posi ion of France and England better than a whole volume of statistics. The entente cordiale always reminds me of those successful matches concluded by prudemce and interest, in which both parties, Wituen any ardent affection for each other, are ne- verQheiess exceedingly anxious to convince the world thet their's isa life of peace and harmony and ma- tual good will. No outward propriety is neglected, no act committed that could justify a different con- ClusiOL France and Eugland are now as ready to coavince the worla of the sincerity of their mutual regerd as Monsieur de Talleyrand was to show his respect for Madame la Princesse towards the ciose of lais event- ful life. Charmed by his attentions, the Princess, op leaving « party, of which she had been the bril- laut centre, remarked to the ex-bishop, who was leading ber out ot the drawiug room, ‘Prince, 1 am charmed with your new condact. We ace now really friends. are we not?” “Most assuredly, Madame,” replied the ecclesiastic, transformed into a diplomate, thro: a shawl over the shoulders of the Pria cess, verything, you know, is changed—iet us throw a veil over the past.” On which ers must the veil fall so as to conceal the past. That's the question: ayg who shall throw it as skilfully as Mops. de Talleyrand? The funds have been quite unsteady fur the last two or three days, ia spite of the abundance of money and the low rate of inte- rest. The commercial news from the Continent is soar more satisfactory. There seems to be great uneasiness over the whole continent of Earope, ex- cept ta the south of France, where silks and wines seem to hold their own. Large American orders have been received at Lyons, but the accounts from Pars are less favorable. Railway shares are neg- lected all over Europe, and enterprise, except in the way of fortification, at a dead lock. y Lonpos, July 27, 1868.

The fact of an emigration en masse from Germavy, coulinuing as it does in spite of all endes- vors to prevent it, cannot be regarded as a favorable symptom for the excellence of their domestic institutions. With tbe attachment of the German to his fatheriand, the force of habit that binds him to it, aud the periis aud diffi- culties convected with a change ot domicile, aud the trans- fer of whole famtlies beyond the ocoan, the feeling of dis- satisiaction created by the state of things at home must havo attained a great pitch to produce an emigaation on @ tcaloso large and constantly increasing. Whether the causes are religious or political; whether they are t be found m a systiom subjects the in the tree exercise of their calliags, or they arive from excessive and burdeosome taxation, it would certainty be wort while for the German govern ments to try if they could not attain their object more effeotuatty by di awsy with these grievances than by preventive laws.

THE GREAT WORKS AT CHERBOURG, The French Navat and Munary Arsenal of we nel—Ies History, Construction and Com — the Celebration, &e, The Paris Moniteur publishes a historical sketch of Cherbourg, of which the following is a sum- mary Cherbourg, which occupies public attention at this moment, is situated in the peninsula of Cotentin, the ancient Lower Normandy, so called from Coutances, its capital. The Cotentia, which formed part of the Pe gre op William the Conquerer, became Eng: ‘ish after the battle of Hastings. Gerberat, Count of Cherbourg, distinguished himself in that batcle, and contributed powerfaily to the success of the Normans. From the death of William, in 1087, until the midale of the fifteenth century, Cherbou = rd tl frequently taken by the French and retaken lish. It was finally taken by Charles VIL, the T of August, 1450, after a siege of forty days, and bas never since ceased to belong to France. Louis XIV. finding that the French coast on the channel, to the extent of 125 leagues, was unpro- vided with a port of refuge for ships of war, deter- mined to construct one equal to Rochfort or Toulon, and vinted a committee to select a point. The 13th of April, 1655, the committee reported that it would be expedient to improve the port of Cher- Apourg, , and to construct a breakwater of 2,400 yards Vauban subsequently visited the coast of Coten- tin, at the command of Louis XIV. He recom: mended La Hogue as the most advantageous strate- oe point to construct a port for a war navy, but admitted the merit of Cherbourg, and he prepared @ plan for its defence si by his own hand, which is still preserved at the Hotel de Ville of that town. Nothing more, however, was done until the year 1739, when the commercial port was formed, the quays bailt, and two moles constracted at the en- trance to the canal. The war of 1744 interrupted the works. In 1758 Lord Howe landed at Cherbourg, and did not quit the town until he had caused con- siderable damage. Louis XVI. revived the question in 1776, but Mag ay Freld perhaps La Hogue ae many partisans, who wou! have triam) had it not been for M. de dertine, then Minister of Marine. The partisans of Cherbourg found a valu- able ally in Colone! Dumouriez, commander of the town, who subsequently became so remarkable during the republic, and on the 3d of July, 1779, a royal ordinance commanded the construction of the forts Hommiet and of the island Pelée. The works of Cherbourg excited attention both in France and throughout Europe, and the King com missioned hig brother, the Count d’Artois, to visit them. That Prince arrived at Cherbourg the 22d of May, 1786, and expressed his admiration of all he saw. At the end of three days he left for Versailles, and from the manner in which he spoke of the works the King was induced to visit the mew maritime establishment. Louis XVI. made his solemn entry into Cherbourg the 22d of June, 1786. and left the 26th of the same month. The King examined the works in the harbor, as well aa the defences and the commercial port, with great interest. During his stay at Cherbourg he was well received by the an thofities and by the population—his affubility, his simple manners and hus solid information prodaced the best effect. The partisans of La Hogue, how: ever, remained firm, and returned to the charge in the year 1785. But they experienced an obstinate resistance.

The breakwater, which is 3,712 metres long from one channel to the other, is defended by natural blocks of granite. The wearing of those blocks requires annually 3,000 cubic yards of fresh blocks.

The inscription commemorative of the opening of the works and the inau; ‘ion of the Cherbourg basin is supreres on a plate upwards of haif a ton weight, anc nearly seven feet in length by nearly four in breadth. ‘The inscription is as fol- lows :— ‘This basin, decreed on the 15th of April, 1803, by Nap». on the bog Syed ie oe Se a ce oir the Hmpress Eagenie, Hametin being Minister of Marine. Amid all the turbulently joyous exbibitions of SL iwed feeling that will greet the Emperor and press on their way coe will not, I think, be one more calculated to add to the enthusiasm of the hour than an humble altar of turf, on which will be ro a few flowers by the hands of a poor maiden the obscure and distant hanilet of Quintin. The circumstances connected with the erection of this little altar are few and simple, and yet well worthy of being known. “I tell the tale as it was told ps me. A short time since a young peasant girl, in the neighborhood of Quintin, who had just finished her education at a rural school, upon her return to her home found her family in great distress in conse- quence of her brother, the sole support.of his pa- rents, having been compelled to become a soldier. The young girl having heard, when at school,a great deal said of the kindness of the Empress, determined to write to her Majesty, explaining the situation in which she and her parents were left in a of the absence of her we gna Thia letter—the un- position 1—was, with the address ‘‘.4 Madame (’. md is,” @ Paris, confided to the post. The gitl said nota word of what she done to any one. She ded it asa secret between herself and her Majesty; and she was not surprised (although every one else in the vil was umazed) to hear from the man that he a letter sealed with the imperial arms addressed to the young maiden. This letter was written by her Majesty’s secretary, and assured the little it girl that the wrong done to her family should be 8} ily repaired. The letter was followed in a few days by the return of the girl's brother to his native village. The young soldier and his sister are about to erect an altar of turf, and to decorate it with flowers, and at that altar both, accompanied by the maidens and young men of their village, will of rup their prayers jor health, long life and happiness of the Em: ess as she passes on her way from St. Briene to The only place in Brittany in which the English are collected in considerable numbers are Dinan and Saint Malo, with its great suburb Saint Servan. The Vice Consul of England at Saint Malo has sum- moned a meeting to be held this day, at which will be prepared an address to the Emperor upon his arrival at Saint Malo. The Engheh of Dinan and its neighborhood had a meeting at the mayoralty on Saturday. It was at first intended to have pre @ grand decoration, in which the flags of Vngland and France should be combined together, and underneath a motto with the words “ England and France united.” Between the first ventilation of this pacific and conciliatory idea and the day of mg Bay ener an article in the Times showing that the peror had paid a very bad compliment to Queen Victoria in inviting her to Cherbourg, which had been originally de- signed by Louis X1V., and continued by Napoleon I., for the purpose of invading England, and now that it was completed by Napoleon = Ii. could never be used for any grand except the rapid embarkation of troops on their way to London. It is amazing the effect which this single article, written with the usual talent of the Tunes, had on the intended meeting here. The idea of the grand decoration “ was at once abandoned; and one ntleman more remarkable for his nationality than fis piety, declared “ he would see the Frenc! very well ——- before he would ever consent to unite hi flag with theirs.” The “decoration” bas changed for an address, which will most probably be presented by a very worthy gentleman—Sir Robert Menzies, Hart.—on behalf of his English com- patriots in this city and neighborhood. The Emperor and the may be on very friendly terms personally, but such is not the case with the Bretons and the English. The local feeling here is typified by the monument of St. Cast, the first stone of which owas laid with all due solemnity on last Saturday, with the following memorandum carefully deposited beneath it:— “On the 17th day of July, in the year 1958, was placed the first stone of this column, commemorative of the handreth anniversary of the battle of St. Cast, gained by the French and Breton volunteers over the English on the 11th September, 1758.” This monument is to be decorated by a sculpture representing the “ Breton panes trampling upon and throttling the “English leopard”—a titting em- blem of the entent? cordrale as it exists, not in words nor in phrases, but in feelings and in fact. FINAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE FRTES. [From the Liverpool Times, July 51.) Final arrangements have been made for the Impe- rial visit to Cherbon . Queen Victoria will arrive there on the 4th of Au- gust, and the Emperor and Empress will make their entrance into the town on the same eae The first interview between the sovereigns will take place on the 5th, and their Majesties will pass the 6th in the roadstead. On the 7th the inauguration, benediction and immersion of the dock Napoleon III. will take place, and the screw liner Ville de Nantes, which has been built on one of its slips, will be launched. The ay Will give a splendid dinner to the persons attac to his suite on board the Bretagne, screw line-of-battle ship, which will be the French flag ship, The equestrian statue of Napoleon I. will also be inaugurated at these fétes. The height of the whole mass, from the metal stand on which the legs of the horse rest to the top of the Emperor's hat, is 164 feet, and its weifrht six tons. The Marechal Duc de Malakoff will accompany her Molesty in her visit. His Excellency will be on board the flag ship, the Royal Albert, in compliance With an invitation from his old companion in arms, Admiral Lord Lyons. Some of our cotemporaries have fallen into a strange mistake regarding the squadron which is to accompany her Majesty ‘on her visit to Cherbourg. It is not, nor, we believe, has it been at any time in- tended that her Majesty should be escorted by a large flect of line of-batile ships and screw fri , as stated. Only two ships of war, properly speaking, are likely to fulfil this duty, and in all probability they will be the Royal Albert and the Renown.
