At Roven and Lyons, cities which, within the last few {have had the opportunity of visiting, the distress among the ouvriers is so great that serious apprehensions of disturbances have beon felt by the authorities. The want of cotton has brought many of the mills toa dead jock. Short time has been long ago in practice, but the impossibility of obtaining materiel bas now fairly laid on the shelf thousands of hands. Frenchmenof the work- ing class have but one way of reasoning on such @ subd- Ject—aacribing the fanit to the government; and already murmurs of such a sinister nature have been heard, that Twas told by those who ha) good grounds for what they said, that additional troops had been conveyed to the cw#ern sof both these cities, and even means anticipated to prevent any ivfractions of the peace. At Kouea I an eye witness to much of the distress the want of work is occasioning. Men, women and children wore in the streets, whoahs? been thronging the Mairis for temporary ciel. Thoy were not noisy— not mochant; but there was a lowering gloom of wrath to come, which one of the sous-prefets informed me called for speedy attention, if evil consequences were to be avertel. The French ouvrirr has of late years lost mich Of thut sobriety which formerly so distinguished him from his English compeer, and the consumption of ardent Spirits has become wo fearfully tacreasea as to have olicite! momoriais on the sub ect from the various Mayors ant sous-prefe'sof the district. The Frenchman of this class puts nothing by for a rainy day, nor does he acquire property during the sunshine. In Liverpool and @iasgow and Manchester, when work is abundant, cottages becom: nicely furnished and comforts are sen in thom that superior tradesmen in Frince do not venture to purchase. Such is fot ths case with the manufacturing population hore, They live in wretched tenements, in parts cf honres, in miserable hovels, festering in the roofs of six Storied fabrics, which are nothing more than so many holes wherein to burrow for the necessary pur- pose of sleening. That duty of nature complied with, the canopy of heaven is their common shelter, under which they wash, feed and disport themselves till night again Summons them to their dormitory, What need of furni- ture, of g00:18 and chattels, of any of the materiel of proper ty, with such habits The consequence is that, unlike the gE ‘h or Seotch manufacturing laborer, thoy have Bothing to sell or pawn when employment ceases, nor any home in which to hide their misery. They rush at onco to the streets, where thousands of follow sufferers greet them, and instead of practising any of those shifts which domestic invention under other circumstances might sug” g¢8%, their whole and sole occupation is to blow the coals Of @ common grievance until a victim or scapegoat pre- sents itself, which, as I said before, is in almost all cases the government of the day. é AilT have said of Rouen applies in'agroater dugree to Lyons.

The Duchess de Bassano is indefatigable in her support of her ty and by the dignity of ber manner vend her natural quickness, promises to accomplish amoch which might otherwise be imposible. It is sim- rad the truth to say that the Court of the second empire hitherto proved an aggregate of extreme dulness ‘and indescribable vulgarity; and if legitimists are ever to be attracted to it, it can only be by the introduction of geome reform as now contemplated. A great discussion has been lately on the tapis respect- the comparative arrangement of the London and hospitals. I believe the following to be Paris builds {ts hospitals, as everything else, for “‘outdoor service.” They are erected in sa- luprious sitvations, among gardens, approached As avenues, &o., &c.; but within they are unduly crowded. the ventilatiin is ‘indifferent, and with all that division of accommodation, 4 place, a room, & man or functionary for everythi g. The mortality is infinitely greater than in London, where essentials alone are considered. There ‘the hospitals are built in the very heart of the city; there are neither gardens nor trees, but the wards aro so admi- ably ventilated, the floors of which are so purified by rubbings of soap and water daily (whereas wax is the alpha and omega in Paris), that tho mortality is fifty per cont lower than that in Paris. The Frepch, in all things, have an irresistible tendency to strain atagnat and wallow acamel. All things are in order, functionaries danamerable; but fresh air, freedom for open windows, and for the ail purifying effecta of what Pandor has immortalizo as the best thing—water—pertaing not.

The wishes expressed in Prince Gortchakof's note for the reconstruction of the Union by the adoption of a conciliatory policy on the part of President Lincoln—or, he phrascs it with ultra diplomatic cire.miocuti:D, ‘8 that will regulate the present without laying the seeds of discord in the future’—are equally w meant, but unfortunately of very little practical utility. A compromise betwoen the Norih and South would cer- taialy be bighly desir Dut in the present stage of the contest there does not seem to be any tangible basis for such a compromise, a8 there 18 no commen ground on which the two parties could meet. While the South is d termined to be independent, and still hopes that tue eof war will declare in’ her favor, all the conces- sions in the world will not induce her to re-enter tho Union. If the North would acknowledge her as a se a:a republic, give up to her all the territory beyond the Po- tomac aud the Ohio, and conclude a cartel treaty with hor on the patiera of the itive Slave law, ine difficul- ty m ght be easily adjusted ; but this would noi be a com- promise—it would bea surrender. It is possivie that the schism might have been avcided by conciliat ty meas res at the outset; but even this appears doubt ul, since it is evident that fh seceders had been c meocting aud maturing their plans for mauy years previo.s, au that the siete of Lincoln only afforded them a pretext for realizing a foregone conclusion. If Mr. Secretary Seward isa wag, he might retaliate on our Foreign Minister by offering him good advice on the s.bject o: Poland, and recommending the Emperor to adopt a conciliatory policy towards that country. In fact, our position there is very similar to that of the Ainerican goverbmont in refelence to the South. No cohcessions that Russia can make willever satisly tho Poles—i. e., the nobility ana clergy—fur the lower classes Poland itself, but the whole extent of territory west of the Dneiper, {from Smolensk to the Black Sea, which formed partof Ue empire of the Jageilus in the sixveenth or seventecnth century, though three-fourths of the inhabi- tanis are Russians ‘in origin, language and religion. Whe e such a spirit exists, no alternative is lett to a go- verimut but to submit to it unconditionally, or to put it down by the stroug hand. The late Prince Michael GorichaiiT and Count Lambert tried conciliat ry mea- sures in Polant—with what success is patcnt to the world. The (ormer died of chagrin and the latter had tw close his career of couciiistin by placing all Poland under martiallaw. The iron steamers of Gen. Khruileit, who was under the service of old Ludvs, has had quite a diferent effect. It Las very likely not made the priests and nobles a bit more loyilt) Russia than they wee, but it bas suppressed all outward appearance of disatlec- tion, The proces-icus and maaifestations of which War- saw was the scene have ceased; the constituted autheri- ties aro again respecied,and the churches, which were shut im consequence of their alleged profapation, ave about to be reopened by the new Archbishop. To be sure the military force concentrated in Po! and the adjoining provi nces is so imposing as to make all resist- ance perfectly bope.ess, even if the whole population jommed in the Movement, which, as Ihave just said, is iar from being the case. According to official statements: the ef-ctive strength of the three ccnps d’armee stationed there—viz: the first under General Labintgzol, the second under Khruleff (headquarte:s Warsaw), ace the third under Wrangel—is 176,000 mea of all arins, which shows that the system introduced, since the Uriwntal war, of dismissiig a certain number of soldiers on fur- lough and summoning them back to the ranks when their services are requir d, has been attended with very satis- factory resulta, as it’is pretty well known that a year ago the three eurps in question were not above 100,000 strong. We have a kind of Parliament now sitting at St. Peters- bavg—the Assembly of the Nobility—which meets every Year, and was opecei onthe 28th by Prince Alexander Arcadievitch Suvoruit, the Governor General of this capi- tal. In bis speech the Prince alluded to the new duties that had devolved upon the nublesse since the eman- cipation of the peasantry, and observed that it was the will of the Emperor that they should retain their high social position; but that this could not bo done by weakening the in{luence of the Crown, with which tho intercsts of the privileged class were indissolubly connected—mea::ing thut, for the present at least, autccracy must not be expected to transform itse f into constitutional monarchy. Aitbouch the Prince 18 extremely popular, this remark of his has not becn favorably :eceived; but as Kome was not built ina day, it cannot be supposed that the Rus ian constitition will spring into being all at once, like Mi- herva from the head of Jove Meanwhile, the Assembly, which is presided over by Count Shuvaioff, the predrodt. tel or marshal of the noblesse, has commenced its prccee 1- ings with grout energy, and several important measurce have been already brought forward.

Thise Motives are—ambition, the wish to make neutrals suller the immeiiiate consequences of war and commercial Jealousy. Frequently, but more especially at the cm Mencement of the present century, Engand has shown the moving principle that regulated her conduct. A bel- Ugerent, she and destroyed neutral nwies to pre- serve that navel power which, by the special favor of Provi- dence, she derived from the valor of her pecpb—(Or er in Council of November 19, 1787)—a power waich sha de- claved (0 be ex: miial for the happiness and independence of mankind. * * * . * it is not sufficient to lay down principles aut prvc'aim laws—their execution must be enfo-ced; to do 80, it world be sufficient to follow the example given by small Northern Powers of «/med neutrality which, by uniting in 4 go and Rock Island, 464% a %; Chicago, burlington and Quiney, 6424 a %; Milwaukee and Prairie du Chien, 20% a %4; Cleveland, Columbus and Cincin- nati, 109 a 110; New York Central 7’s of 1876, 103 a 1014; Erie third mortgage bonds, 96 a %; Michigan Central 8's, first mortgage, 102 a 24; Illinois Central bonds, 7’s, 94 a 95. After the second board the market was rather better, and prices a shade higher, ‘The successes of the Union army in Tennessee are likely to be followed by the most important commercial consequences. Military men disbelieve altogether the stories which are current about a successful rebel stand at Murfreesboro or Memphis. They say that the fall of Nashville involves the fall of the entire State of Tennessee within a few days. If this expectation be confirmed by the facts, we shall shortly witness commercial changes of the most startling character. The defeat and flight or surrender of the rebel Governor Harris and his pseudo government would of course be immediate- , | ly followed by the organization of a new State tored forces of | government, composed of Andrew Johnson’s friends, who are loyal to the Union. This govern- ment established provisionally, and acknowledged at Knoxville, Nashville and Memphis, the State of Tennessee would resume its position as a loyal State, and the present embargo on trade between itand Kentucky and the other Western States would immediately be raised. Now, Memphis isa distributing point for a million bales of cotton each year. Assuming that the obstinacy of the rebels and other causes prevent one-third of this cotton going to Memphis for the present, there would still remain 660,000 bales to come forward as soon as Tennessee was restored to its position in the Union. A portion of this cotton ought to begin to come for. ward within thirty days from the present time. It is easy to see that the bare announcement of re- ceipts of cotton at Memphis, and shipments thence tothe North, would revolutionize the cotton market both here and abroad. Six hundred thousand bales would supply our Northern spinners with al} they need, and would leave some bales over for export to Europe. Assuming that Louisiana and Mississippi do not follow the example of Tennessee without some fighting, the whole of the cotton which we may obtain at Memphis would have to come North to Cairo and Cincinnati, and thence to New York, Philadelphia and Boston by rail. The Northern lines of railway would be taxed to their utmost to move it, and business generally through” out the North would receive a stimulus such as has not been felt since the beginning of our troubles in October, 1860. The business of the Sub-Treasury was as follows to-day:— towards 0: from that const wing run or attempted to eu & cespateh boat, with ail neutra's, would seoure to each the respect and securi- ty which they caunot obtain while remaining isolates. No peried was ever more favorable than the present for the carrying out of this d sign. During a long mari\ime peace all nations have extended their commerce and ni gation to prop rtions hitherto unknowns All have. the e- fore, an interest ‘hat that prosperity should not be dis- turbed by the consequences of a foreign war which would intorrupt their commerce and destroy their com- mercial marine, On tho o:her hand, the second naval Power of the world—that which for more than bas made the most pe:severing efforts to sec tious the freedom cf the seas, France—seen's likely to re- main neutral in the next naval war. With her navy, with her well known loyalty, she wil! bec.me the head of the new ition of armed nentrality, whilst remain- ing. the firmest supporter of those liberal priuci:les which she has e energetically advecated. Around her will flock all ctrer naval natins, which, thus united, will form an aggreyate sufficien'ty fe datie to counter: balance the navat superiority of any bellige cuts. The mari- time equilibrium , so imporiant for the we and freedom of the universe, will thus be es'ablisted. Formed it an ici a- tion of war, it will subsist in time cf poae, and become a lasting element in the intornaticnal relations of civi!- ized peoples. England could not more than any other batiin take offeuce at the formation of the league of armed noxtiality. If, as we must suppose, sho intends to respect the general law of vations, and faith{ully and legally carry cut the conventions she has agree! to, the union of neutrals cannot give her the slichtest umb "090.

For np- most poworful at sea has been engaged in hostilities, it has in- flieted quite as much damage upon neutrals a3 upon its ad~ versary. Spain, Holland and France he. self, Gorag the very brief period of their naval supremacy, haye in trns been guilty of grave abuses of strength. It was Holiand who, as far back as 1684, invented paper or fic- titious blu kades. For the last one hundred and filty yeara that she has enjoyed the first rank at sea, Groat Britain has followed the samesystem, but doveloping it for her own berefit, so ‘hat whenever eho bappons to be at war, the position of neutral uations becrines more Faery than that of the enemy himself. The right of lockade has also received extension in complete oppost- tion with the most fundamental principles of interna- tional law. A blockade ia nothing but the conquest by « belligerent of the naval territory of his enemy, round the piace or port which he wishes to close to commerce. Master of that portion of his adversary’s possessions, he lays down laws whieh all neutrals are bound to respect. But conquest involves taking possession and perma- nent occuj ation, and on this account it las been laid down that the blockade soust be real and olfective. England has never consented to admil those Lateg re in practice. As oon as she is at war sh prociaimsthe Mockale of stich and uch of the enemy's ports. We hare even seen her lay down the pretension that the whole of the seabourd of Fcnce was naturally Uockaded in comequnce of ts graphical position with respect to the English coasts. Tie proclamation is notified to all the noutral nations, who, thenceiorth, must abstain from any trade with the terri- tory thus placed under interdict. Such is what has been descritved as the paper blockade. The belligerent does not, moreov: fr, take the trouble to send a single ship to main- tain the precended blockade. The proclamaticn no doubt would bo sufficient to excludo neutrals, but to secure the efficiency of that measure, two rights haye been invented which aro not leas oxorbitent—the right of prevention an| the right of parguit. In virtue of the first, tho belligerent assumes the powor of seizing and confiscating Any neutral \esael met at sea, bound for the port the bl ckade of which bas been nee oped matter how distant sech vesrol may be from the pert in question, Thus the blo kade of New Orleans having beon declared, a belligerent cruiser meeting in the Baitic a ship bound for that destinat.on, may seize and have her condemned,with all her cargo, for the violation of a blockade which de facto has never existed, and which, even supposing to have existed, might be raised at the time she arrives at the en! of her voyuge, Arag of paper, therefore, supplies the Place of the squadron which, having made the conquest of the enemy's nayal territory’, ought to enforce the con quest by permanent occupation. ‘The right of pursuit hae great anal gy with that of prevention, Every ship clear- Marks, the disruption of the Union would serio: sly “ise turb the balance of power; it would raise the maritime Supremacy of France and Fngiand to an intolerable height, and deproes the influence of the other Earoy Etates in the same proportion.

The holders are to be com in proportion to what thoy paid for the mortgages. fhe funds to be placed in the State Treasury, and paid out on the order of the commissioners.
