Many who pique themselves on their know- ‘edge of British politics loudly predict the ovorthrow of the Palmerston Ministry on the budget, and thus the re- jection, by a side wind, of the commercial treaty; in ‘which case all sorts of heart burnings, for the moment allayed, are to burst into fame between the :wo coun- ries. But I suspect these gentlemen, who, on the aith of an occasional visit to England and a smatter- ng of the language, imagine they know so much, are very wide of the mark. Parties of the English legiglature who are now in Paris, and whose opinions are not usually lightly formed, do nos scruple to state their conviction that Mr. Gladstone’s budget will be acquiesced in, and that the tories will not make any seri ous aseanit on the treasury benches till after the passing of the Reform bill, That itis perfectly competent, how. ever, for them to throw out the present ministry ia clear enough; butin that case thelr position would only be a repetition of thatof lastyear. Itis evident they have a sure game to play by waiting. The anti-Gallican spirit attributed to the tories renders them just now the more Popular party; mo one cares about reform; and when Lord Jobn Russell has carried his bill, its first fruits will Probably be fatal to his party and bring im the opposition ‘with « large majority. In the meantime the Papal irritators show no symp toms of assuminga gentler phage. Baron Molroguier of Ferneres, in the department of the Charente Iuferieur, publishes in the Constitutionnel a letter to the Bishop of Orleans on the subject ot the attack made by that prelate en his great unele, Mona, Raillon, in which he accuses him of having gressly calumniated his predecessor—in short, Mons. Raillon never took the civil oath of the clergy, never administered the diocese of Orleans ; ‘‘in spite of the Pope,” he never ceased during the whole course of his life to be in communion with the church. So much for the Constituéonnel, which has net thought proper to answer the Bishop's letter, Indeed, entirely apart from the question itself, Mons. Dapanioup is what is called ‘‘an ugly custom- er,’”’ and the Emperor’s desire not to stir up further strife with such a prelate is intelligible enough. His Majesty, however, shows no symptoms of receding from the posi- tion he bas taken up. This morning’s Montfeur contains @ decree suppressing Za Breagne,® journal published at St. Briene, which, on Saturday last, contained the following:—‘At the mo- ment when the inexplicable change which has just oc- curred in the lofty regions of power was causing alarm and consternation among all Catholic hearts, many depu- ties, most sincerely devoted up to this to the Imperial dynasty and the Papacy, were going to assemble them- selves at Paris, from the most distant points of France, to concert measures for laying the truths at the foot of the throne,” &c. The journal then proceeded to state that a document was drawn up containing theee words:—“It is for you, Sire, it is for your dynasty, that we deplore the ‘uncertainty which prevails at the present moment, and which, if prolonged, would separate from you al! Cathoii: hearts ;” and then, adds La #reagne, ‘The only reply to Ubi addrese, signed by three members of the legislative ay, x the suppression of the Univers; thetr doubt was terfiinated.”” M. Billault, the Minister of the Interior, in addressing himeelf tothe Emperor, remarks that he will not stop to inquire how those three members of the ve body reconcile their conduct with their oath of fidelity te his Majesty; alle has to do with is thie Breton ‘which must not be permitted to sow the seeds of among a loyal and religious population most devoted to the Emperor, and be, therefore, calls for {ts summary auppression—a suppression whion, ‘by the grace of God and the national will,’ is made accordingly. In fact, it does geem impossibie that this violent inter- ferenoe with the press can continue te be exercised with. cut some terrible catastrophe being the result. The waro- ing admipistered recently to the £resse for it& Commenta- ies on the existing state of Italy gives notice to all jour- pals what they are to expect if they venture to utier @ word without first consulting the yane of the Minister of the Interior, and many who usually thivk the Kinperor in the right in bia dealings with the Papacy are immense- ly scandalzed at the offeneive interferoncé with public opmiou. Frenchmen every day become more un’ more “but children of a larger growth’ in the estimation of their great Executive. It is hie nod that decides how far the Papal question is to be discuseed, how much or litile irritability shall be infukea into it, and when and how the emoilient salve shall be administered. Journals arc told to hold their tongues, theatres are cautioned to represent nothing which may by impli- cation be construed into offence, while the Emperor stands in the midst etaying the plague or fomenting it as it eeem- eth good unto bim. It is thought quite auflicient for Frenchmen to stand by and blow the trumpet while the Imperial Foreign Minister addresses a manifesto to all the Courts of Europe, I repeat, many thousands of intivential men and pious Catholics think tbe quarrel on the Empe- Tor’s side a good one, but tho means be takes to promote it in every way indefensible. The Chamber of Commerce of Saint Etienne has just voted an address to the Emperor, which 16 made much of, 38 it acta as a foil to some observations recently made by Mr. Horsmau in the British Parliament nm regard to the anxiety of France to have an early importation of British coal and iron, whereas this address wonld postpone these Ymportations ll 1861.

The Virginia Tax on Northern Vessels. THE CASE OF BAKER V8. WISE, GOVERNOR OF VIR- wi . It is a suit to test the constitutionality of an act of the ‘State of Virginia, levying @ tax upon Northern vessels, for the Parecee of protseung the sievoipe - zens. The circumstances of the case are as follows:— On the 17th of March, 1856, the Legislature of Virginia passed an act ‘providing for additional protection to the slave property of eitizens.”” This act provides in substance:— 1. That all vessels, excemt government vessels, bound to the north of the Capes of, , aBd de} from the waters” of the State, shall ‘inepected”? for the pur- seek phoer peg me ny Fades slaves were concealed on 'd,and to pay five dollars for such inepection. 2 ‘Iba: all vessels owned in Virginia should be exempt from such tnepection. 3. Every vessel *‘dey ”? from the waters of Vir- ‘pia without a certificate of , Shall forfeit five jundred dollars; and during suit for this penalty, bond must be given for tte payment and costs; and if saia bond is not given, the vessel is forfeited. 4. The pilots of ‘the § law are appropriated to the enforcement of the Fugitive Siave law, being required to be paid into the State Treasuary and to be used tor the payment of rewards for the apprehension of fugitive slaves. Baker, the plaintiff in the suit, iga resident of Yar Mouth, Mars., apd in August, 1856, was @ cspiain of a coasting vesvel in the fruit trade between Noriolk, Va., and New York and Boston. Having taken on board his cargo at Norfolk he leftghe wharf. and kept under easy sail while’ rupning down to the Capes Charles and Henry, about fifteen miles, in order that the pilots might board hin from thetr boats, as is their practice, and ‘ingpect”” hrm, accoraing to the jaw in question. No pilot boats ap- of the bar, and peared, and having reached the mouth is cargo being of a very perishable kind, he resolved to ‘wait vo longer, az the wind wag fair, and so went to Bea without inspection. He had no fugitives on board. On returning to Norfolk abouts monih after, his vessel was at once eeized for this non compliance with the act. Ba- ker tried in vain to find @ court or officer to whom be could a. the bonds required to reloage his vessel andueait trial; but nove could be found, as no eourt was in aes- sion. or was to be for three months. The vessel was in consequence chained to the wharf till the court came in, in November, and, not being coppered, was so injured by the worms that she was sold under the dvcree of the Cir- cait Court of Norfolk (which condemned her in November, a for $760, her veiue belog, before seizure, $3,000, ‘The $750 barely paid tbe fine and cose. From this de- cree of the Circuit Court Baker appealed to the Court of Appeals (the Sopreme Court of the Staie), and, after being on the docket three years, the case was finally reached for argument on the 9th of February laat. Questiona of law oniy are heart in this Court. The general questions raised in this case were two in number: First, whether the law was in conilict with the constitution of the United States; and, second, whether it was infcopilict with the constitution of Virginia. The Court sat at Ricbmcnd, and consisted of Juages Allen, Daniel, Lee, Monceour and Robinson. ‘The case was discussed by counsel at very great and excited much interest. No report of the ments can be given, owing to their length. It was contended by Baker’s counsel that the law in question was in violation of the bill of rights of the constituuion of Virginia, eection 10, inasmuch as it authorizes unreasona- ble rearches and seizures, and without “evidence of a fact committed; and gives to the pilots of Virginia, who ‘Wat a regulation of commerce, and that bas ex. elusive power to commerce ‘‘among the several States,”’ and that a law of this kind fa hot a mere pol'ce Snow Storm at the West. 1960, March be nine yee eae cree ae morning ands Senrse nine. z & } i 1 I i i Le at i i fi us it SPECIAL NOTICES. m POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE. etn Gmamat Jo.
