o 2 7 period for this country to involve itself in fo- foetal ade T therefore hope that wo may see in this country greater attontion paid than has hitherto been paid to affairs of this meguitude, for there is no .questien ‘on earth that so deeply affects the industrial Classes—I may eay all classes—both morally and materially, as tho quention of peace or war. It isa quation far above all Guestions of internal riform; for when a war takes place, Guay go all notions of social im; , ail moral consi derations in reference to the ition of the working classes— tuothing but the military spirit running rough the length and breadth of the land—nothing but what, J say, is most | Gdverse to the of this district expecially, situated as it istn the greal centre of our staple manufacture.

It is impossible for me to say now what the gentlemen who form the present government will agree to, or what Luey may in their councila decide—at the time’ when a reform bill is to be introduced—to be the ‘Dest measure to be submitied to Parliamaent. That must be Jeft to future deliberation; and I am quite sure of their earnest desire not to fail,as Lord Derby had failed, by producing & bad measure; for om every ground, whether ‘on conservative grounds or on liberal grounds, to use the ‘words of my honorable friend Mr. Bright, there is nothing absolutely so re’ as “a bad measure’ of re- form. (Cheers.) SPEECH OF SIR KNATCHDBULL-HUGESSEN. [From the London News, June 27.) At eight o'clock fast evening an influential meeting of the men, electors and non electors of the united Doroughs of Sandwich, Deal and Walmer, was held at the Guildbalt, in this town, for the purpose of hearing an address from Mr. P. H. Knatenbull Hugessen, woo seeks re-election on his acceptance of office under the new administration.

(Hear.) Upon looking at the position of parties, they need not fear the ion of neutrality suffering in the least by the change in the administration of the country.

(Gear.) TUE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR INDIA ON THE WAR IN EUROPE. (From the London times June 29.) The election for the borough of Halifax, reudered neces. sary by the appointment of Sir Charles Wood as Secretary Of State for India, took place yesterday in tne Piece Hail, Halifax. the right honorable baronet was re elected with. ‘out opposition. Sir C. Wood afterwards addressed the aseemb!y and spoke as follows:—Mr. Mayor and geotiemen, electors and inhabitants of Halifax—I have in toe firet you again my most grateful thanks for the honor which you we done me in returning me to Parliament on this occasion. It was po light task we bad to undertake, When Lord Palmerston’s governmen: was dis- misted from power we left peace in Europs—we find war. ‘We lefts flouriebiag revenue, with a gurp'us—we find a very large deficiency. (Hear, hear.) It would have been some comfort to leave those who have sowa to Yeap the fruit of their conduct; but, thinking it was mot for the advantige of the couniry that the late government should contioue in power, they have been removed, though we have sucoveded to a moet difficult task. (Hear, bear.) I trust that by the confidence and support of the public opinion of tais cbun- Wwesball be able to surmount thoze difficalties: but fair to tell you in the outset that it is a gamcof ind nite difficulty which we have to play. (Sear, bear.) I meed pot occupy your time in repeating at auy length the Be ied which I expressed so short a time ago, and with ‘ich you roust be all acquaioted. I have nothing to add to the opinions then expressed. Earope is at war; the ‘arms of two great nations have more than once been en geged in bloody conflict: but our course has been that which I told you I“thought rignt—namely, absolute neu trality between the contending Powers. (Appiause.) It is not for us to engage in this struggle, in which two despots of the Comiinent are engaged. Our object is to preserve for ourselves—to promote peace between them we can. (Applause.) We have geea recent wc- counts that in a pares Migs ot ——. a ge spirit prevails by which they seem disposed al- most to engage in hostilities. I hope and trust their own good sense, aided by the advice which we have given them since we came to power—(applanee)—will indyce them to abstain from hostilities. (Bear, bear) at any rate, on our part no effort shall be spared to kee} thoze out of the ‘war who have not yet engaged in it, and to avail our- selves of the first favorable opportunity which may offer itelf to restore the blessings of peace to those countries which are already cogaged in conflict. (Applause) [ believe that in the endeavor to keep Germany out of the war we shall be consulting tbe beat interests of the coun try. (Bear, hear.) Ihave been told ever since I came bere that already much of this town and neighborhood is suffering from the apprehensions of a war pervading Can- tral Europe, (Hear, hear.) In adverting to tais subject, I must freely teil you that I entirely approve ail the pre- parations which have been made for putting this country into # formidable state of defence, I hope uad trust that no occasion will arise which will call upon us to exert those means of defence. I hope that peace may be preserved,jbut we cannot shut our eyes to the possibility that tf Germany should unfortunately engag- in the war countries may also be brought into that vortex which ow Hi 2 rational interests and cur mational engagements might c7m- pel us todetend.

Attacks have been made of late upon that government at having ne- glected the defences of the country. tiemen, believe me, there ig no truth in such an actu (Applanse ) Lord Derby stated the other day that, when we left office, the Davy was in a siate of impotence aud decreptitude Great crators are apt to indulge in oratorical flourisces— (laughter)—but Iam bappy to quote the evitenca of the Yate government itveif, nct in words but in nots, to prove that when they did accede to vower they found the navy in a most cflicient state. We had a superiority over the French when I left effice of no less than 240 vessels of stoam ‘power—(opplavse)—a superiority greater than the whole ‘number the French navy at the time—(renewed use)—and the best testimony that can be given to what we bad done is that they accuse me of having dene too little, but they reduged the means which we propored for the increase of th navy. ‘Hear, hear.)

THE PAPAL STATES. THE REVOLUTION IN THB STATES OF THECHCRCH— | THE MASSACRE IN PERUGIA. | je (June 26) correspondence of Loudon Post.) Very nocounts have reached Paris of the frightfal | (twas, it appears, Cardinal Anto- eee ccec ortars to the so-called Swiss to take the Te Pope, according to official despatches, is afMicted af what bas taken place, and expressed im that gense to the French Embassy at Rome. A | was to be appointed to investigate this cruel under the goverament of the Head of a Chureh, it of Perugia strovgly prover inione of Turin says '—The horrible excesses Pesan ‘at Porugia have created a most profound and inful gengation in Turin; and no doubt the whole of italy and Europe will join in this sentiment. The Swiss who committed these violent and atrocious deeds were not in Perugia, but were sent there by the Roman govern- ‘ment, as our correspondent anmbanced to us two days ago. The Papal government dare not send native soldiers, fear- ing the non-execution of such orders as they had givon; but instead the mercenary Swiss wore ordered there, and bebaved as barbarians and not men. Tho accoun's of that struggle are fearful indeed, and the consequences may be equally serious. ¢ the political mevement of the people of the Romagna was effected without violence. It was simply & protest against the priestly governing een. y sending a Swiss regiment to assasainate the poople of Perugia, Antonelli committed a gratuitous act of cruelty which will go far to shake the temporal power of the Roman Catholic Church. We waitin Paris with anxicty for further de- tails, poping for the honor of our age, that what we have learned is at least ated. But anything might be ex- Tooy are mowly ontapod galley sve, tho aotes of are eaca} ley slaves, the acum of the worst of ‘st ial Such, alas! are the soldiers of in lettor Perugia reales adigaation in tho hoart Peru; in the of pad right thinking man in Switzerland, and the more #0 as the.savage acts attributed to those mercenaries have ‘been committed by Austrians to whom the deromination of Swigs bas been given. In point of fact the two regi- ments known at Rome under the name of Swiss are com- of men of all nations and particularly of Southern The Swiss are in a very great minori- ty, and anumber of them recently quittod the servico under an ides that common cause was about to be taken with Austria. The real Swiss regimonts in the service cf Rome, or rather the heroic remnants of that littie baad who, in 1848, at Vicomza, checked the whole Austrian army, and did not capitulate until they had fired their last cartridge, were on their return to the Roman. States. The present regiments are of recent formation. In.1848 the Confederation declaraed tho old military con- ventions to be annulled, interdicted Swiss citizens from entering the service of a foreign country, and when any one was discovered attempting to enrol recruits, both par- ties were severely puniahed. The Swiss ents in the service of Naples were raised in 1827 and 1829, and the old soldiers could not make up their minds in 1848 to quit a service wi! was their only means of existence, Seve- ral Swiss bave since been recruited clandestinely, and the regiments have been completed by a great number of Ger- mans. The Federal Council will doubtless order au in- quiry to be instituted into the events at Perugia, and take meaaures to remove, in the eyos of liberal Europe, the stain which pag been cast oa the Swiss name either through malevolence or error. mea Wiad herd Poors eee, (de a 28) Fe Pope bas vindical 18 authority in. fa, which, like the rest of the towns in the Legations hod pronounced for Victor Emanuel. Papal dragoons wero sent there; the inhabitants defended themseives with the energy of despair; but the Swiss at length entered the town and sacked it. Perugia isa very small piace, aud the rack lasted twohours. The nouges were all gutted; women were dishonored over the corpses of their hus- bands, and then brutally murdered—eimply because, de- ceived by the bopes held out by the great imperial per- turber of order, they bad fancied they might do what Florence, Ancona and Bologna had done before them. PLANS OF THE ALLIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PAPAL STATES. ‘Turin (June 22) correspondence of the London Nows.] bs for the Sardinian government, its mode of proceed- ing towards the Roman States still betrays some degree Of hesitation and uncertainty. The understanding arrived at with the Emperor Napoleon on this subject had only been of a general nature, and asa wish was felt not to abandon abruptly either Bologna or Ancona to the Austrian party, it ‘was net considered necessary to enter into more preciseand minute explanations witt lim. If Lam well informed, the sgreement bow entered into between the two sovereigns 48, that neither shall interfere either to re-erect the Papal arms or sverce the people into obedience to the clerical govern- ment. Victor Emanuel, who bad made up hia mind to ac. cept the dictatorship, will coadne himself to mere military protection. Accordingly, the Cavaliere D’Azeglio, nis commissioner in Romagna, has not received any counter orders, und will be accompanied by tho troops I spoke of in my fest, But it is not certain whevhor any inspectors will be eppointed, or I should preferably say, any Piod- montete civil governors for thoce chief towns. The Marquis Mighorati, Sardinian Minister in Holland, ‘was recently recaliea, in order to Ml! the post of Governor at Ancora, but the appointment bas been suspended. Tae Bologneee commission, instructed to offer the dictatorship of the proviace and of’ all Romagna to the King, left yes- tercay for the camp, and must be by this time near Brew I thiok I may venture to affirm teat the King’s words will hardly, if at all, compromise him, and will oniy be explicit Wit respect to his acceptance from that people 2 their prompt and vigorous aupport in this war of independence, Be that as it may, it is my duty to tell you ‘bat since the King’s departure for the seat of war, and ‘the increased distance of bis headquarters, our constitu- tional forme bave been lees and lesa observed. The King haw by his side po other Minister save General La Marmora, who can hardly be called a political man, being of tne military profession. It {s true that the King corresponds ‘with the President of the Council, Count Cavour, but the distance, and the multiplicity and hurry of events, pre- ‘vent all satisfactory communication. So you see that the affairs of Rome are severely testing pot Piedmontese diplomacy, but the admirable skill and foresight of Napoleon III. The article in the Patris, pub- lisbed the day before yesterday under the title of a ‘“Let- ter from Turia,” is considered here an indirect hint to Count Cavour to preceed more slowly and circumspectly in all that concerns Central Italy, especially the Ecclesiastical Stores. It 1s a fact that some time since a few very warm enthusiaets among the Minister's friends were dilating about toe annexation of Tuscany the Romaguas to the new Suba!pine kingdom. Count Cavour resisted the temp- tation to speak on the subject, but diplomacy is incesgant- ly accusing Piedmont of its too great ambition. AtGapoa, M. Pietri, the ex-Prefect of Police in France, cannot appa- rently talk of anything else; and as he is aup wo be ‘still on a footing of intimacy with the Emperor, his words make a deep sensation. MOVEMENTS OF PRINCE NAPOLEON. A letter dated Massa-Ducale, June 20, describes the movements and prescat position of the army under Prince Napoleon :— The fifth corps bas made a long halt at Massa, the ren- dezvous for tooops, some of which, coming from various Gistances, required at least four-and-twenty bours of re- pose. The whole body of troops is now ina compact mass, aud it will proceed by écheluns of about 5,000 men. = distance from Massa to Parma is calculated at seven excyes. Twelve miles journey will take us to morrow to Sarza- na, the second march wil! bring us to Aula, to that close dediie of the Val de Magra, which is in itself a formidable Position, and which the Duke of Modena had fortifled sgainst all comers, but which he forgook befora its strength was at all put to the test; the third day will bring us po nearer to our goa! than Terrarossa. There ig not more than a couple of miles between the two places, but the ford of two wild mountain torrents—the Aviiela and the Teverone, which the Duke of Modena would never allow to be bridged over—might cause us infinite trouble, especially if we may judge from the de. luge of rain which spoilt our illumination last eveaing, and from the look of the sky, threatens a new flood to-day. Ju beavy rains thoee prawiiag streams are apt to swell to au clarming height, aud with tearing rapidity ; our nine batteries and immense heavy materiel would’ not cross without the greatest difficulty. Tne fourth day we are to bait at Pontremoli; the fitth will take us over the Cisa to Berceto and Caccio ; we come down to the plain ‘ornovo on the sixth day, and travel over the last fif- tecn miles to Parma on the seventh. Our immediate des- ‘pation is Parma, not Placenza, as many French officers with absurd confldence asserted. A wearer of epaulettes in the French army iseeldom a man of much general in- formation. He is up to all the minutest details of his par- tcvlar branch of the service, but, unless be be on the ‘stufl, he never jooks tato a map, never seeks for informa- tion in the history of past campaigns. I know colonels and other staff officers, very loud in their idolatry of the Tmemory of the first Napoleon, to whom the fur fam: pames of Montebello, Castiglione, Lonato, and othor twice and thrice fourht fleids convey no meaning. The Prince, Tam told, expreeses his conviction that the Fifth Corps wil operate under the walls of Verona. AFFAIRS IN TURKEY. RUSSIAN PROGRESS IN TURKEY—HOW THE SULTAN ENTERTAINED THE GRAND DUKE UONSTANTINE. {Constantinople (June 7 i pat of London Post. 1 The official programme of the entertainments for the Grand Duke, of which I gent you a copy some posts since, ‘was carried out to its full extest. On the Sth isstant Sir Henry Bulwer embarked on board ber tdajesty’s screw steamer Wauderer, and, accompanied by the whole of the diplomatic corps resident im Constanti- vople, proceeded to the Palace of Emerghian to pay their official respects to bis Imperial Highness the Grand Dake Constantine.

The Grand Duchese was entertained in the harem, whither she was conducted by the Sultan, At table with the Grand Duchegs were tne five pripcipal sul- tauas, Two Armenian Jadies—Megdames Mirhan Bey and Damat-Oglou—were present ag interpreters, At the close of the diplomatic banquet the Sultan, accompanied by five of big fons, reappeared, and at the same moment the Grand Duchers rcesned from the harem. . The Sultan was most particular in his attentions to the Grand Duchess, He convereed for some time with the Grand Duke, and ad- dreesed a few words to some members of the diplomatic body. When the guests prepared to leave his Majesty took the Grand Duchess by the hand and led ber to” the toot of the staircase. According to the rules of the Mahometan religion the Sultan did not sit down to the banquet given to the Grand Duke and the diplomatic corps, for there is no precedent on record of a Sultan of Turkey so far neglecting the laws of the Koran as to admit ot a. to his table. On the Asiatic sbores of the Bosphorus is a romantic valley known as Gueuk-Sou or the Celestial Waters. Here, embowered amidst gigantic plaue trees, is a kiosque or summer house belonging to the Sultan. It was in this secluded and lovely spot that Abdul Medjid Khan, Chief | of the Faithfal, entertained at bis own tabio the Grand Duchens.

'PHE FRENCH ON THE ALBANIAN COAST. ‘Vienna (June 24) corres; ondenee of London S\ner } 6 news recently received from the coast of Albuuia is not in keeping with the a*surances which were given oy Count Walewaki to ber Majesty's sambasaadyr. A fow | days ago two French frigates cast anchor at Antivari, or rather at Valle di Croce, the port of Antivari, and wut several chests on shore. Two of the chests, which were opened, conta'nod dif. ferent kinds of gold and silver coin, and the others, from their form, were supposed to be filled with weapons. The commanders of the French frigates informed the Tarkish authorities that it was their intention to establish a depot in the vicinity of Antivari; and further stated thint twenty other French vessels of war might be expected. ‘The news of the violation of the neutrality of the Turk- ish empire was firat forwarded to this city, and then to Constantinople and London. The Porte bas entered a pro- test against tbe occupation of ite territory by the French, but ite not yet known t me whether her Majesty’s govorn- ment has thought ft to remind Count Walewski of his conversation with Lord Cowley on or about the 12th of Jaxt month, Yesterday evening official information was received from Antivari three English vessels—the Marmora, the Seaton and tho Sunderiand—bad landed coals and amunition, and that an English acrewship just come into port. In my letter of the 2let or 22d it was stated that Prench gold abounded at Cettinye, and there can be nodoubt that the coin and material of war which have been landed on the coast of Albania are intended for Prince Daniel and the chief of the Miridites, who have .ecently been in direct communication, THE MILITARY SYSTEM AND PRESENT PO- SITION OF AUSTRIA. bave done rises up in judgment against them, when the voice of self-delusion and flattery is beard no longer, and when the occasions they have missed and the opportunities they have misused scourge them with a nee only the more bitter that it has pee he delayed. begedig oe times which mei come at bpon the great empire ustria. She vs only did much ev bt the be age she did was done upon system and accordi Precedent. She had, as every humen being Or aggregate of human beings has, clearly Iaid boiore her the differ- ent elements of power and guccess, the spiritual and the material, the ennobling and the ‘ing, the Progressive and the obstructive, and she deliberately chose tho latter. By no means negligent of the welfare of the great mass of her aubjects, she has con- trived to cisguat and alienate the feelings of all who rose in the least above the tamest mediocrity, who thought, or felt, or reasoned, or acted for themselves. Physical force was her idol, and she fell down snd worshipped it in the dust. By the coarscat methods, by beating with tbe stick ove class of offenders, by imprisoning another and by booting or banging a third, Austria contrived to establi throughout her wide domipions the superiority of the baser over the nobier parts of man, She has no literature, she hat no aspirations; imagination is banished from her dominions under the Penabiic of fine, bastinado or im. prisonment. This brutalizing system has in it a certain kind of vitality. Tt holds wonderfully tegether. Tt has even extorted admiration, and become a sort of idol to thote who deepair of the destinies of humanity, and believe thet meu are sheep to be fleeced, or cattle to be ariven by the stronger. But we are just be- ginning to seo the real moral and meaning of all this, an it is too instructive to be passed over in silence. Austria trusted inher army, It was composed, to bo sure, of different racce, all more or Jess discontented with the imperial governwent, all more or tees hostile to each other; but it was excellently drillod, it way provided with competent officers, it had experience of all the ordinary manwuvres of war, and it was eurrounded wherever it went by a most elaborate system of fortification. The time of tral bes arrived, and how hag this enormous machine, to support which the empire has been de- populated and the finances ruived, borne the strain &od tension of actual hostilities? It has besa sbattered to pieces—not for want of courage and endurance, or technical acquaintance with military evolutions, but because this vast mass was di- rected by intelligence of » low order, and was deficient in that activity, self reliance, and power of spontaneous ac- tion which distinguish the French soldier. Mind and matter have met together, and matter has been shattered in the confitct. | Brute force has been no match for inte! it valor, abd the most obstinate endurance mapa yrs be- fore the onslaught of an enemy who knows what victory is and how she is to be wooed and won. But the defeat of her military system is by no moans all the evil with which Austria is threatened. The successors of Joseph II. have concluded a dey concordat with Rome; they bave taken to their and counsels that strange and fatal race of men who seem destined ever to pursue an end which they are never al- lowed to reach. In her intellectual degradation Austria bas prostrated herself before the Order of Jesus. The throne of the Pepe! Emperor is surrounded by that Ominous band, the sure precursors of tne ruin of thrones and the downfall of monarchies. Louis XIV. took them to his beart, and prosperity left him never to retura. James II. and Charles X. lost under their advice the king- doms of their ancestors; and, surrounded by them, Fran- cis Joseph seems to be drifting towards a simliar consum- mation. Even at a moment like the present there is hard- ly @ loyalrace inthe empire that ie not disgusted at cclesiastical tyrappy, apd the misfortunes of the State ' ring no relaxation to tbe miseries of the Protestant or the ew. Every province of Austria in the meanwhile grosas nder the confiscation of its rights and the forfeiture of ts privileges. Hopgary, loyal and arietocratic in its as- sirations, cannot forget that ten years ago it had constitution ag ancient as our own, and that it has been egraced from the rank of a constitutional monarchy to but of a subjugated province, Behemia is plunged in ulien and dangerous discontent; and Tyro!l—faithful Tyrol—so often the last and surest refuge of the house of Avetria—Tyrol, the mother of Hofer and of Speck- bacher, if for the Oret time in history alienated and dis- coated, and draws back in the hour of trial from the ser- vice of a government whica it no longer loves or respects. Matters are coming rapidly to a crisis, while the Austrian , Overbment with absurd tenacity adopts the ruinous logic of pride and folly, and will not yield to the just demands of ber aubjects, ‘for fear ahe should be thought to do so upon compulsion.” Now, it is assuredly not the interest of England that 4ustria should be biotied out from the map ot Europe, or that the void which this disappearance would create ehould be filled by the elements of confusion and revolu- tion. By interest, which 13 stronger than sympathy, our welfare is to a ceriain extent bound up in hers, and there- fore we ought to bave credit for sincerity when we urge upon the young Emperor that the time for a complete change of system ought no jongor to ve deterred.

France and Sardinia ‘are pledged to tree Italy. It was Austria who appealed to the arbitrament of the sword, and by the fortune of war she must abide.

This proving successful, com- bined witb the advance of Prince Napoleon, of tne adri- atic expedition, and of the gucboats up the Po, will leave bo alternative to the Austrians but to seok safety in flight. Italy will then be free, and the work of France and Sar- dipia be accomplished: ‘The young Emperof is said, however, to be the moet stubborn of a stubborn race. Within his German territo- tory he may yet bid defiance to France, and tell her, “Fol- low me if you dare.’ A trespass on German ground would raise half a million of fresh bayonets, fight- ing in defence of their Fatheriand, against the’ Allies. On the other hand these would have to hold their ground at vast cxpente, and with prodiguusforce, if they would prevent an Austrian army from swerpiny ack to the reconquest of Lombardy.

We shall bo sincerely glad if Austria show herself wiser in negotiation than in war, and if her diplomacy prove less disastrous thon her arms, Another difficulty, of a more haw are nature, is the set- territorial tlement of the distribution of Italy.

We think it right to be thus early in sketching the questions and du- ties which will soon arise, that we may not be taken unawares by the event. For ourselves woe hope to see a speedy peace, and that the diplo- macy of England will be instrumental in bringing it about. We trust that Rusaia and Germany will lend their aid in securing this most desirable object, for if peace be not obtained by Europe after the expulsion of the Aus- triane from Italy, none can tell what new flames, what more extensive conflagration, may 8; from the un- quenched five. Prussia has armed, and is even to send an army of observation to the Upper Rhine. This, simu!- taneous as we have reason to believe it to be, with her declarstion that her movement is purely of a dofeasive character, is a wise and fair course. She has every right to arm in defence of Germany, and to gather her power to warn off the ailies, if, flushed with success, they should think of pushing their advantages too far.

EFFECTS OF THE WAR ON THE TRADE OF FRANCE [Marseilles (June 25) correspondence of London Times.) There is, however, a reverse to this medal, and it is to be seenin the decrease of trade, Although the embarks ticn of 20 many troops and of such enormous quantities of matériel and provisions has proved a source of great pro- fitto some, yet Iam asgured that the general commerce of Marseilles bas suffered considerably during the last week or two.

THE FRENCH BANKRUPT COURT MAKES HIM AN ENGLISH SUBJECT. [From Galignani’s Messenger, June 27.) Jullien, the well known chef d’orchestre of London, hav- ipg come to Paris in May last, was arrested for the non- payment of a bill of exchange given toa MM. Chapoi bat, ip order to obtain bis release from prison, he had himse/f declared a bankrupt. On Thursday M. Delepierre, who boldg the bill of exchange, and who had opposed his discbarge, applied to the Tribuna! of Commorce to order the declaration of bankruptcy to be set aside, on the ground that M. Jullien had been naturalized an Eaglish- Tan, and could not, therefore, enjoy the privileges of a Frenchman in a cage of bankruptcy. Jullien, in reply, represented that as the letters of usturalization he haa obtained in Engiand stipulated that he could be neither a member of Parliament nor a Minis ter of the Crown, nor a grand diguitary of state, he could not be considered an English subject, Dut only asa deni- zen of England; that letters of full naturalization in Eng land can only be accorded by Parliament, whereas his had been given by a Minister; and that having returned to France be had recovered hie French nationality. But the tribunal beld that, haying obtained all the rights and privileges of a British subject, absent trom certain restric- Uione, allowed by au act of Parliament in 1832, and having taken the oath of guvmission and allegiance to the Queen of Engiand, be wasa naturalized Englishman, and oonso- quently could not be declared a bapkrupt in France.

The New Southern Agitation of the African Slave Trade and the Diserganizing Movements of the Leading Southern Politicians, &o., &o., &. Our Washington Correspondence. WASHINGTON, July 10, 1859, Jefferson Davis on the African Slave Trade—He Proposes @ Bull for the Repeal of the Prohibitory Laws of Oongress— ‘Strange and Astounding Disclosures of the Practical Re. opening of the African Trafic in Florida, dc. Hon. Jefferson Davis, before leaving the North for Mis. sissippi, seciuded himself for afew days in the western part of Maryland, in order to prepare the outline of a speech which has cither already been or shortly will be delivered to his constituents on the subject of the African slave trade, In opposition to his colleague, Senator Brown, Colonel Davis contends that the introductioa of “(gavages”” (as mewiy imported negroes are calied in the South) would be injurious to the material interests of Mis- sissippi. He takes strong ground, however, in fayor of tho right of every otber State to do what it pleases in the ,Matier, without {nterfereace from the federal govern- ment. He purposes even bringing in a bill, immediately after the opening of the next Congress, abrogating the Jaws which declare the slave trade to be piracy. It is supposed that this via media course of acknowledging on tho one hand the theoretical rights of the ultra slave trado men, while locally exposing the practical disadvantage to plant’ ers of amalgatating a totally barbarous slave element with the old slave population, will reconcile the differ- ences that bave been growing 89 formidable of ate in the South with reepest to the slave trafic. Caretuily as the secret has been guarded by those inte- reated, it 15 well known throughout the entire South that a very large number of slaves have been landed, cnielly on the Florida coast, within the past twelve months. A very distinguished democratic Senator informed me within the last week, that his estimate of the number of cargoes of “savag that had been successfully transported into the interior of the country since May, 1848, was between sixty and seventy. He added that the boast bud been semi confidentially made to him, six weeks 8go, by an individual interested, that twelve slave veste’s, WI names were known to him, would dis- charge their living freight upon our shores within ninety days. Supposing each veesel to contain, deducting loss by death, two hundred and fifty blacks, tho iate increuse of slave population at the South, by importation from the coast of Africa, must have been over filteen thousand. Starting as this fact appears, I have pot ventured to com- municate it to you until fully persuaded that it cannot be contradicted; or, if gainsayed, that its truth may within a sbort period be demonstrated, The consequences of this reopening of the slave traffic arealready be; ing to manifort themselves in the South- ern States. ie planters and wealthier slaye owners are appaiiea at the prospect of s disturbance of the oid order of things, and set their faces to @ man against the new movement. ‘The more sagacious political leaders, includ- ipg Davis himaelf, perceive that every Southern politician who identifies himself with the traflic must be eveutualiy swamped by the indignation of the resp:ctable slavenold- ing citizens of the South. On the other hand, Brown, of Mise:esippi, counts upun the support of those vast mid- dimg and jower clases who hitherto bave not been able to possess negroes, but now look forward with exultation to the day when they sball bave Garkies to wait upon them as weil as their vetiers, Brown thiaks that tne “ all, all alone” ultraism of his po- sition on the slave trafic question cannot fuil to carry for him the Charleston nomination and the next Presidency. Meanwhile, the friends of Judge Douglas perceive cleariy enough that a wedge bas been entered into the Southern democratic ranks which they think must inevitably result to his aggrancizement, Dougiss, who has returned in high spirits from your city, would be in great glee over his future pros. Pects but for the discovery of a Presidential scheme for Dis overthrow, concoctea by tho fertile brain of Col. Davis. So confident of its auccess is Senator Davis said to be, that he used but little caution in speaking of it before feaving Washington for the South. It consiets of increas. ing the number of Presidential candidates to the greatest extent possible among that class of aspirants who, with but slender chances for thematives, may be wiiling to fall back at the proper momeat upon Franktin Pierce as their second choice. Thus, James Guthrie, ex-Secretary of the ‘Treasury, Caleb Cushing, Robert McUlellaud, as well as Davis bimeelt, will have friends at Chariestou to assert their claims, aud @ still further accession of candidates Will make their appearance before many weeks. This ix the rude outline of a plan whieh ex.ites more attention at this moment than it would deserve but for the impor. tance which is attributed to it by Senator Douglas himself, who has repestedly reiterated of iate that he Tegards ex President Pierce as his most formidable rival for the Charleston nomination. Douglas was asked, d few days since, if he had made up his mind for whom he would cast his strength in case ne could not Secure s majority ot votes tor himself. He is reported to ied. have 1 ave. It will be for Alexander H. Stephens. He isa fair, honorable, excellent map, and cannot be elected. hat leaves the field open for me in 1864.” If this story, which is weil vouched for, is cor- rect, it will be oddly interpreted by the friends of Toombs and Stephens, who are maintainiog at the present hour doctrines which are more ciameirically irrecoacileabie to those ef Denglas than any other cluss of mon at the jouth. The absence of Hon. Robert J. Walker, who left here recentiy, at a moment's notice, for Chicago, bas been Yariourly commented on, to some extent in connection With tbe réoently re established amicable relatioas De- tween himself and the President. The truth is, however, that ne bas gone Weet exclusively to attend to private Dusiness—to some law suit, Iam fold, in which he is in- terested. The conduct of Colonel S. M. Johnson, of your city, is much approved of here in reiation to the Havre consul. ship. The friends of Mr. Vesey go strongly represented to Mr. Johnson the popularity of that gentieman that he wrote u letter to the President, virtually offering to give up his appolatment in Mr. Vesy’s favor, and repeating, in energetic language, the complimentary remarks whict his official course everywhere elicited. ‘Mr. Johnson will not be permitted, however, to reaign definitely until he has proceeded to Havre and gained more information, on the spot, tn relation to bis future labors.

We thank this great thunderer, the New York Gera, for the timely justice it has done to Hon. R. M. T.

The Hxrary has in this proved its wonted sagacity. It 1s difficult for that paper to be deceived in the signs of the times. It has an ipetinet for the strong and successful side that is wonder- folly unerring. We are perfectly confident that instinct and Pagacity bave not misled it now. Hunter is the man of Virginia, of the South, of the country, of the times. He ts perfectly popular in Virginia. No man dare rise up and utter one word again 3 if he should do go, it would be bis own certain doom; Hunter, like Washington, has never committed 'a faux pas; he ts constituted like the Father of his Country, “ caim, cautious, consistent,” oftending necdlessty neither North or South, neither this party nor that, a “‘faithfal champion of Southern” and ail other rights of enlarged liberality, experienced states. mansbip, unsuilied honor and purity of character, simple, unpretending. He is a true model of a great Virginian: superior to Washington’ In this respect, that he is second only to Calhoun as an exponent of the true State rights view of our government; superior, again, a8 @ echolar—there being none,’ not even Rivee, more cultivated in Virginia; equai In labor and growth and Improvement to any man. He has already attained to the highest position of honor and merit asa statesman in the whole country. He has managed the financial affairs of this great government with consumate abtiity ; and it is Burke who said,“ the revenue is tho ite.”’ Without corrurcation, unnecessary brilliancy, he been equal to the bighest demands of any position to ¥hoh hg bas been called, and he has been called to the very nigbest. He is the model of the man whom we hould Cal! at this tne to occupy the Presidential man- Siun, and preside over the groat mfairs of fig great cqun. = try, and conduct its foreign relations; and he is the very opposite of eome who aspire to the office, All that ts required may be summed up in that one word confidence, coniidence, confidence. Tue country, the whole country— North, South, Kast aud Wost—want a iso in whom they can have confidence. The country wants repose. It Wants rest—from annoying wad haravsing agitations. And how can it have rest and quiet without confidence? “Tt he foundations be destroyed, what cap the righteous do?” If there be not con: fideuce, the foundations ere destroyed. ‘The foan- dations have been destroyed for a loug time. We “want a restoration of confidence. Who can inspire the bighest copfioence—that is the question. Who? Hunwr or Wire? Hucter or any body else? Buchanan will come the Dearest to it; but we deny that evon Buchauan would in- Spire the couniry—North, South, Kast, West, al! sections— with as much coufidence’ in the goverament as Hunter. Wise would keep it in trembling and fear all the time. It would surely then be without ‘any foundations at allom which it could rest. He Cin break with the Supreme Court, he might break with Congress, he might break with forcign nations, he might break with one sec- tion or another. Hunter would give us a safe con- servative administration, The North craves such a one as weil as the South; one that would be Just and considerate to all anger all sections, all peoples. If we had been in a repose of sleep for ten thousand years we might have Wise to wake us up, But of all unpropitious times, this ig the most unprepitious for Wise. We have been a politd- cal chaldrom boiling for these many years, til the energies of the people are worn out. | The people need rest and recuperatien, rest, under the shadow of tho great, conservative, conciliatory, able, statesmanly, nian character of Hunter.
