Sraincrietp, Jan. 29, 1861 First Draft of the Inaugural Address—Cabinet Negotiations Suspended—Disnicrestedness of the Herald's Correspon+ dent—The Indiscretions of Expectants— Wholesome Ad- vice—A Trip inte the Country—Personal, ec. ‘The President elect bas entered upon the discharge of @ duty next in importance to the construction of his Cabi- net, viz: the preparation of his inaugural address, Al- Teady last week two or three days were devoted to this delicate aud difficult tak, and it is understood that during the remainder of Mr. Lincoln’s stay ia this place his time will be principally absorbed in it. The material for this portentous undertaking was being assidu- ously collected ever since the beginning of the present month. Historical and other researches were made with great diligence, and a basis being thereby gained, the erection of the argu- mentative structure can now be completed in a compa- ratively short period. The ground from which the issues of the day will be viewed is already marked off, Abstract righta are ready to be asserted and wrongs to be pointed out; but the remedies to be recommended have not been determined upon, in view of the rapidity of events and the consequent dangers in the aspect of public affairs. As to the party merit of the inaugural address, I ven- ture to predict that the straight oat republicans will have to find but little fault with it. Therecan be no doubt that, unless the present opinions of the President elect undergo a radical transmutation within the next four weeks, its tenor will be in strict conformity to the doctrines of the Chicago platform. Only a first draft of the message will be made hero, Suggestions of modifications are expected to be received ‘on the journey to and in Washington, and the finishing touch will probably not be applied until a very few days before the inauguration. Cabinet negotiations have been altogether suspended for the time being, owing to the commencement of the mesenge. Itis evidently the intention of the President ekctto pestpone the completion of the Cabinet until after his advent im the federal capital. A semi-official hint to this cfleet, indeed, has been given out. In pureu. ance of it, the hostilities between the partisans of the ditfercot aspirants have been interrupted. The Judd and antiJudd men bave both lowered their arms and lean on thei: elields, quietly waiting tor an opportunity of mak- ing another assault previous tothe 11th proximo. The retainers of Smith have altogether retired from the field, but a fow faint <fforts are still making by’ the backers of Colfax. Even Cameron scems to be willing to wait the final decision of his claims to the Cabinet with folded arms. Altogether, the newspaper reading public may copfidently expect a total subsidence for the next fort night of the countless rumors bearing upon the Cabinet making of the great railsplitter. For this welcome relief the President elect is certainly indebted toa great extent to the disinterested vigor with which the HxkaLp’s correspondent has labored during the last few days towards the dispersion of the hungry, howling crowd of solicitors for themselves and friends, that have plagued Abraham 60 remorselessly these many weeks. It is true Abraham’s gain will prove his own Ices, the impudence of place seekers having furnished almost exclusively his stock in trade since the holidays. But our humane instincts of the pitiful sight of Abra- m's sufferings did not allow us to act otherwise. Although the number of distinguished bores from abroad has been for some days growing refreshingly less, the influx of written supplications for executive fagors is still ag voluminous as ever. Baskets full of petitions and recommendations continue to ar- rive with every mail, much to the chagrin of Mr. Lincoln's private Secretary, upon whose shoulders the main burden of this overwhelming Presidential cor reapondence rests. Nor is the number of the applications their worst feature—their size is nearly always equally ubjectionable, Documents covering from twenty to thirty snd more pages, setting forth the claims and merits of the several expectants, are frequently re- ceived. Some foo's even went 89 far as to enclose essays cn the duty and destiny of the republican party and the republican administration. To all such indigereet in dividuals I wish to say again that neither Mr. Nicolay nor Mr. Lincoln are equal to the task of opening, reading and answering a hundred or so letters every day, and that heveo their epistles run the ignominious risk of being transferred to the paper basket unnoticed. If they are determined on being hearé, let them get their papers ready and station themselves at some convenient point aloug the route selected by Mr. Lincoln for his journey to Washington. A box for the reception of their applications will doubtless be attached to the Presidential traia, But by all means let them abstain from addressing anything to Mr. Lincoln previous to his emba:kation for the East. It will dono good, and may do a good deal of harm, Mr. Lincoln intends to start to-morrow morning upon a two days’ excursion to Charleston, the county seat of Coles county, in the southern part of this State. He pro- poses to pay a short visit to his aged stepmother, who resides at the point mentioned, and expressed a strong wish to see him before he left Springfleld for Washing. ton, The strictest privacy boing desired by Mr. Lincoln, no reportor ial shadows will follow him. Amoug the latest hotel arrivals are A. L. Mansom, Da- vid Bards, W. W. Cowrs, all of Cincinnati; D. V. Bennett and W. L. Patien, New York, and Geo. C. Carbleman and I. N.

LINCOLN ON COMPROMISES. At a late hour last night we received the following tele- graphic item:— It 8 now certain that private letters have been receiv- ed from Mr. Lincoln urging his friends to conciliation aud compromise, and it is stated that he indicates the border Blates resolutions as a reasonable basis of adjustment. As surancesare given that this information is reliable. As soon after the elecvoral shall be counted in the pri of Congress, on the second Wednesday in February, he will ‘acquaint the public with his views on the Pending crisis. He heretofore has not felt it proper, in advance of oflicial information of the declaration of his election, for him to take a prominent part in the direction of political affairs. We, of course, have had no opportunity to converss with Mr. Lincoln, but such is our knowledge of his views and feelings that we have no hesitavon iu declaring that Mr. Lincoln has comimitted himself to no compromise whatever, and that the whole thiag is acanard of the first water. He has steadily refused to accede to the demand of those who insisted upon his giving his inaugural ia advance. The country may rest assured tha’ in Abraham Lincoln they bave ublican President, one who will give them a republican administration. Mr. Lincoln is not commit ted to the border States compromise nor to any other. He stands inmovably on the Chicago platform, and bo will either acquierce in bor counsel his friends to acquiesce in any compromise that surrenders one jota of it, ‘The above is so decidedly and forcibly to the point that it will probably sot at rest, until the dolivery of Mr. Lincoln’s inaugural address, all the idle and totally un- founded gossip that has been floating through both the Bast and Wost in connection with a supposed willingness of tho President elect renounce part of the principles, vhe prevalence of which secured his election to the chief magistracy of the country. He stands now where he stood on the day of his election. He has neither advanced nor retreated a solitary inch, and the public mind might as well be mae to realize this incontrovertible fact by those who claim to influence it. ‘The preasurefof place seekers from both at home and abroad continues unabated, altho the President elect is not much less disposed to allow the absorption of his now 90 valuable time by their selfish, provoking importunities, But neither his coolness nor his anger, nor the various devices he bas resorted to within the last fortnight to keep tho expectants at a safe distance, have altogether relieved him from this worst of Presi. dential tribulations. The common herd of solicitants of second class past offices, consulships, clerkships, & , &e., ie got rid of easily enough. But a certain class of Visitors to the Presitent clect have been coming here for the last two months that are not to be bailled ia this at tempt to encroach upon Mr. Lincoln's time and good will They are tho “distinguished men’ that make their ad vont in Springfield for the ostensible purpose of giving their disinterested but unsolicited advice in regard to ap pointments to the Cabinet and other leading positions, aud the policy of the incoming administration. Thos volunteer counsellors appear to think that their patrioti motives give them a perfect title to the attention of Mr Lincoln during their reepective stays in Springfield They wil first endeavor to bunt him up and besiege him in his down town offles, If unattccoseful there, they witl his private reaidonee, and if admission to the I’re nied tothem upon the first apyii nke a aocond, third, &o., Ax nolens wiens, gratified by to iol presence be d wever fail One, until theif wishe ar the object of thelr obtrusivemess. — Nor they hardly ever gatisfled with the privilege of one interview. ‘They cither exact an invitation to call again by conversational tactics or porsuads Mr Lincoin to roture their call at their hotels, where, ouce got hold of, he is seldom able to cut himself loose with- Out the loss of several bours’ time, It is true Mr. Lin- coln’s inexhaustible good naturedness is mostly at fault in this. But then common decency should teach tho visiting bores of distinction not to improve this excusable shortcoming. ; ‘Abraham knows that there is no eafety for him from this infliction, either in his office or bis house, and heneo he has been looking out for other places of retreat, to which the irrepressible impudenco of distinguished stravgers would not follow him. Knowing his present anxiety for privacy I would certainly not reveal them, but that the prelude of the Presidential drama, that is, his sojourn in Springfteld, is 80 near its end, One of bis se- cret haunts is thestudio of Mr. T. D. Jones, the Cincinnati sculptor, whither he repairs now almost every morning, not for sittings, but to open and read his morning mail. ‘The other is the sanctum of the Journal office, where he also spends many a quiet hour, : J.T. Williams, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, whose princi- pal stock in trade seems to consist in the fact that he sent the first tolegraphic despatch announcing the triumph of the republican State and electoral ticket in Indiana to Mr. Lincoln, and Mr. Mitchell, member of Congress clect, aro here urging Coifax’s claims. Could any advice reach them, I would tell them to up their traps and go home. They can do no but a good deal of harm, to tho cause they represent at this stage of affairs. Messrs. John T. Dowling and M. M. Truman, of your city, arrived last night. Sprixarrenp, Tl., Feb. 1, 1861. Mr. Lincoln returned home this morning after visiting his stepmother, and the grave of his futher at Charles- ton. He held a public reception in the town hall at Charleston, attended by hundreds of people. Being called upon to make a speech, ho stated that the time for a public definition of the policy of his administration had not come, and that he could but express his gratification at seeing so many of his friends and give them a hearty greeting. Most of those in attendance then shook hands with him and dispersed, amidst enthusiastic cheering. On his way here he met a deputation from Cincinnati oa their way to Springfield to tender him the hospitalities of the city, The invitation was accepted, and the time of the visit fixed for the 13th inst. ‘A bronze medal, with the head of Henry Clay, bas been sent by Daniel Ulmann to Mr. Lincoln, with a letter stating the gift was intended for the first President that represented the views of the great whig leader, Mr. Lincoln expressed himself to a visiter yesterday, that if Pennsylvania be represented in the Cabinet it will be by Cameron and no one else. J. A. Nunes, of San Francisco, bad a protracted private interview with Mr. Lincoln to-day. Le is anxious to seo California represented in the Cabinet. The appointment of a member from the Pacitic coast is looked upon here as. very probable. No communication has passed between Mr. Lincoln and Colonel Fremont since the latter's arrival in the East.

The issue of @ writ uf habeas corpus, in the case of Ander- son, by the English (o\atof Queen's Bench has fallen like a boutshell upon (his community. There was an unwilling- ness to credit the telegraphic account; but the arrival of the detailed reportef the case yesterday set all doubt at rest. Probally no similar atiempt has been made within our day to encroa:h on the: liberties of a free people. Cana- da, a great self goveraing community, with a commer cial tonnage more than twice as large as that of France, is compared to the Isle of Jersey and the Isle of Man, neither of which has a population larger than that of Toronto. The precedents quoted are well enough for a crown colony; but it so happens that Canada possesses a Court of Queen’s Bench expressly vested with powers co-ordinate with those of theQueen’s Bench in England; and if that Court can be ignored and xt aside by an ups rial tribunal, where is the guarantee for our liberties? If the judicial branch of our gover nment may Le trenched upon in tris summary manner, who ts to guarantee the execute and legislative functions of the government frum invasion? ‘These questions force themscives upon cvery mind as the report of this extra- ordinary case is read, The whole proceedings in the English Court of Queen’s Bench are of the most extraordinary character. Mr. Chamerouzow, Secretary of the Anti Slavery Society, who has no personal knowledge of the facts, swore that ‘John Anderson, a British subject, domiciled in the city of Toronto, was filegally detained in jail as a prisoner, without having been legally accused of any crime.” Take itail in all, this must be pronounced a preity hard oath, Andersom may be a British subject, but (hss is the first time we have heard alleged that he is. In another part of the oath, Mr. Chamerouzow not only sets up hie opinion in opposition to the Canadian Court of Queen's Bench, but be in effect swears that he is right and they are wrong. Mr. Edwin James, tho counsel en- trusted with the case, rested it on the power of the Crown to issue a writ of habeas corpus in a of her Ma Jjesty’s possessions. There is no doubt that in enunciating ‘this principle he was correct, but does it therefore follow that the English Court of Queen’s Bench has a right to con- stitute itselt the agent of the Crown in the case of Canada? When her Majesty issues @ writ of habeas corpus in this part of her dominions, does not our constitution guarantee that it shall be done through one of her Canadian courts? We can understand the argument, as applied, when a Crown colony, without a constitutional government of its own, is in question. Let us see how Mr. James tried to con- vince the Chief Justice of England that the Osanada of 1861 was to be treated as a * plantation.” Cann- da,” says the learned counsel for tho Anti-Slavery Society, “originally a part of the continent of America, ‘was colonized some few years before the ascension of James 1; but the Urst instance he rccollected of a charter being granted by the Crown authorizing emigration to Canada was about the 13th of James I., and it did appew that originally the whole of that portion of America was called ‘plantations.’ Canada belonged to England until the year 1633, when it was ceded to France, It was taken, however, by England in 1759." Mr. James is a great authority in history, and, indeed, he may boast of making a discovery that'no one ever made beforo. He has discovered that Canada was an English colony, gov- erned by an English charter, till the year 1633, We con 4 always supposed that Cabala was a French both before and after 1633. We have a legead of its discovery and colonization; we have lists of French Governors, volumes of ordinances passea by French Coun cils; at least a hundred and fifty volumes written by French missionaries and martyrs ‘among the savages of Canaia. We have accounts of ware with In- dians and leagues with Indians; of monopolies of the fur trade; and of the fur trade carried on by licenses. tn short, we fancied the history of French Canada, bofore 1633, which fills 80 many volumes, was a reality; wo even though that it possessed a peculiar interest. ‘Bat according to Mr. Fdwin James, we have been all wrong. Quebec was taken by the English in 1629; but it was re- stored to the French by the treaty of St. Germain-en- Laye in 1622. This learned gentler also undertakes to instruct us in the historical geography of the country, “Canada,” he assures us, was “originally part of the conti- nent of America." Weare aware that, at tho date he men. tions, 1663, the lowor part of the country was terribly di japidated by an earthquake; but we have always beon in tho habit of supposing that it atill adhered to and formod part of the continent. Tho point of Mr. Jame’s histori. cal allusion is that Canada being an English colony up to 1663—a blunder too gross for any schoolboy of seven years, in this country, to commit—the Court of Queen's Dench in Englana never forfeited the right it then acquir- ed of issuing writs of habeas corpus in this country. Having done with history and historical geogray xy wr. James betook bimeelf to be He wont back to the roign of Richard Il., and cited a case in which the House of Lords issued @ writ of habeas corpus ad ndum to bring the Duke of Gloucester from Calais—then treated a8 a part of England—to give evidence What similarity is there between that case and the present’ Calais was ‘not a self.governing country, having a Court of Queen's Bench possessed of co-ordinate powers with the Court of (Queen's Bench in England, We venture to say that ail the cases referred to by Mr. James had as little applica- tion to Canada—that they applied to crown colonies, go- verned from England, and not to countries possesse 1 of the sovereign power of administering justice in courts whore jurisdiction is concurrent with that of the English courts. We believe it will be found that, after the anion of Scotland with England, it has been held that writs of habeas corpus, issued by the English courts, did not jay in Scotland; and we havo a faint recollection that it was found necessary to pass an act of Parliament to moet the cage, The diffculty, in the ease of Scotland, was the jaws of that country might not be the same as those of England, In the caee of Cuntda, we know that neither ur civil Bor our criminal laws are identical with those Fogland. In 1784, the criminal laws of England were xtou sd to Canada, and in 1791 the body of English civil son in force; was also adopted, so fur as Upper \o8 concerned. But with our constitutional ma- chinery «obtained Superior Courts of our owa; and when the « ort of King’s Bench was first established in Canada tt dad power over all questions that its English prototype had.

It As easy to see how the ditliculty arose in the present cage. Seli-governing cclonies are things of modern date; and English judges think themselves bound by prece- dents that ocourred four hundred years ago, under a to- tally different etate«f things.

The baglish Judges thought they could not recognize the independent jurisdiction of the Canadian courts as superseding that of the English; but they foresaw that the interference might create great difficulty; that their “writ might be treated with con- tempt as an interference with Canadian courts.” Canada has been vested with all the attributes of local self-government, legislative, executive and j ; and she will hardly now surrender oneof those sh which secks 4 ‘A Sinction that te English cout, » usurp a pecephe own tribunals.

President Juarez Gnally made his grand entrance into this capital. The reception given to the victorious army on the Ist was, by comparison, in- significant. President Juarez arrived the evening before at the village of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Early in the morn- ing he was waited on by a number of his friends, and at 11 o'clock started for this city by the railroad. At 12 o'clock the grand procession made its appearance in the Calle Santa Isabel, and turned up San Francisco towards the Grand Plaza, The streets along the line of march were handsomely decorated. There were two magnill- cent triumphal arches, and along the whole tine were erected poles, at short distances, that were decorated with flags. Every house was set off with curtains, wreaths of flowers, flags, &c., and tho balconies and even housetops were crowded with anxious spectators, As for the streets, it was impossible to move in them at all in the direction of the passing crowd of human beings. The ciyil autho- rities, the clubs, the army, all passed tn the procession. ‘The reception, altogether, was all that the most ardent admirers of President Juarez could have wishod. The joy of this population at our deliverance from the rule of our late insatiable tyrants has made itself mani- fest in an infinity of ways. The foreign residents of Mexi- co have boen especially zealous in manifesting their gratitude to those who have contributed to the grand re- sult. Gen, Ortega has been treated to dinners and balls without end. The French residents wound up the round of attentions on the 13th inst. by a grand banquet, at which Gen. Ortega, President Juarez, his Cabinet, and most of the celebrities of the constitutional party assist- ed. Everything has been done that could bo done te show the gratitude of foreigners. Now for the reality of our new rulers in the capital. ~ On the 11th it was made known here that Isidro Diaz, the chief adviser of Miramoo, had been arrested near Jalapa—Miramon, who was in his company, having made amarvellous escape by dashing into the woods. Presi dent Juarez, by the advice of his Cabinet, sent off an order that Diaz should be shot. On this same order, which was communicated to the different military com- manders, instructions were given to shoot all the chiefs and leaders of the clergy party so soon as they were Properly recognized. This order was published and gave general satisfaction to the public, although there were many who considered that a more formal course ought to be followed, Howover, as all the world are aware of the criminality of Diaz and the others comprehended in the order, it was considered that no great harm could come to society by their specdy execution. So affairs stood when, on the night of the 14th, the wife of Mira- mon made a descent upon the government, and obtained by tears, prayers and persuasion the reprieve of Diaz anda modification of the general order,by which the chief criminals of the country were to escape from jus- tice and be allowed to go to forvign lands to spend their ill gotten wealth. No sooner was {t known that the government had taken this step backwards than the whole city was alive with excitement. The clubs had their prolonged and noisy sessions; the officers of the army, who had so often seen their fellows butobered without mercy by the clergy chiefs, collected in knots and muttered their dissatisfaction, and tho press, with almost one yoico, came down upon the pusi animous measure of the govern: mept. This brought on a crisis which culminated yester- day in a general Cabinet row. General Ortega, who had already accepted the post of Minister of War, is blame for everything. He aspires to the Presidency, and, 11 many others before him, has made a bad bump against the moderado rock. Vrave and active as he is in the field, he sadly wants experience, and has been prevatied upon to afliliate with that treacherous element knows as the ‘moderate party” in Mexizo. As yet we do not know the result of last night's deliberations, but it is quite certain that Genera! Ortega will be forced to retire from the Cabinet. The lesson he has received may do him good, and doubtless will, He will have learned all events, that although be has been a grand mstrument in bringing about the triumph of his party, he cannot presume to trample under foot its laws and’ principles. Hoth Juarez and Ortega havo fallen in public estimation by the amnesty measures proposed, and Senor Lerdo has risen in proportion. Itis not fair to judge altogether from a popular feeling such as exists here at this moment, but we consider the chances at prevent are iu favor of the election of Lerco to the Prosideney. Under date of the 12th passports were sent to the Span ish Ambaseador, the Pope's Nunclo, and to tho Ministers of Guatemala avd Kevador, The dismisaal of the last three gentlemen caused little or no excitement, although the newly arrived French Minister protested against the dismiseai of the Nuncio, The dismisaal of the Spanish Ambaseador is quite another thing, and has created au immense furor in the city. The Spaniards have worked themselves into a desperate hoat over this affair, and con. sider war as good as declared. Ojela! that it may be 30; for if there be anything that can savo Mexico from fol lowing her road to ruin it is a war with Spain. Strange enough, after ths step was taken, there was an attempt made to withdraw th ports given; but a+ it was made known that Seoor I’acheco could not’ stay— now that bis party is lost—-the government has consis tently stood upon its dignity in this case. A long list of private persons was proposed for expulsion, but the retro- grade movements of the government came just in time to Fave theee gentlemen the trouble of packing their port- manteaus. Day before yesterday tho British Minister, who is still at Jalapa, passed certain propositions to the government, which, if accepted, will bring about the speedy recogni tion by England of the constitutional government, So far as I can learn, these propositions only refer to the robbery (‘occupation’) of the conducta at Laguna on the 9th of September jast. Mr. Mathew pr the government shall pay back the Eng in the term of aixty-live days; that an apology shall be made for their seizure, and that Garza shall be reprimanded for seizing at Tampico ibe portion that General Degotlado had surrendered to the British Consul. ‘There, wo hear, aro tho propositions of Mr. Mathew, which, under the ciroumstan ould not_be more wild The government, I fear, considering that Mr. Mathew is not here, will attempt to gain tine by making other jpro- porais, or perhaps may send tho British Minister his pass. ports for impertimence.

The notes to the other representatives are couched pretty much the same language. We hear that yestercay the government had under con- sideration, certain propositions from the British govern- ment in relation to the speedy recognition of President Juarez, We tremble with anxiety, in the faceof so many reported inconsistencics, for the regult of their delibera- ticns on this important matter, The hstory of the Laguna Seca conducta is already pretty wellknown; but as we have never before referred to the matter it may be as well for us to say, that on the 9th of last September, Gen, Degollado, a8 commander-in- chief of the federal forces in the interior, occupied, or rather appropriated, a conducta containing over one mil- lion of dollars. About $400 000 of this momey was recoy- ered ond distributed amongst the propriewrs, aad now President Juarez comes out with the following decree providing for the payment of the balance, with all losses und damog* 8 that have accrued. After the preamble the decree rea’ Art. 1.
