For the last four or five moaths tho Croton Rqueduct Board have been engaged in the work of laying down new matus from the priucipa! reservoir in Central Park down to and through the upper part of Fifth avenue. From the beginning until the present time the work has been progressing 80 slowly, and the interruption to the car- riage ways has been so great, as to cause the utmost {a- convenience to persons visiting the Park in vehicles, and evenon horseback. The interruption also sadly iater- feres with the business operatious of those who have to use wagons or carts on the thorough fares {a the vicinity. {It seems alao, as if to render Access to the magnificent Park as difcult, inconyonient and dangerous ay possible, that not only private parties are digging cellars or iaying foundations for residences, or having water and gaspipes laid down tn the streets leading diroctly to tho southerly eutrances to the Park, but that the cily authorities Lave also taken advantage of the timo to grade streets, to fil in gullies, blast rocks, lay out and pave streets, aad undertake works of undoubted improvement at tho proper season; bat at this particular juocture only adding to the chaotic mags of rubbish, mud, piles of rock and dirt, aod dith, which rewdor tho surroundings of the graud pleaaure ground @ disgrace to the city and humiliating to our citizeas, who haye always taken a sincere pride in carry- tug strangers thither and in showiag up the beauties of the onchanting spot.

The Congress Not Likely to Assemble—Napoleon's Sensation Projet—How He May Astonish the World bya New Altiance with Rusna—Groundwork of the Imperia! “Ring"—No Hostility to the United States, dc. Every incident and rumor goes to prove what I havo told you from the first, that the European Congress would never meet. Continental journals tnat wore sanguine that it would now say tt is impracticabie. There nover was the least chance of tt; but Louis Napoleon has created a sensatior—has played the cuttlo Qah by darkening the water with iak, and thus throwo a cloud over bis movements As for Poland, Russia is master of the situation, aad the Czar and everybody olse know it. But France bag an important plot and an adroit gamo to play, and if hor Emporor does not astonish somo sleepy beads when it ts fully developed then he is not the man who planned the coup d'etat of December, 1851. Tho wiso oues already begin to whisper it, and the pian is this:— Seeing the attitude of Eogiand, Louis Napoleon is going to form a strong alliance with Rus- sia, each to work t their own plang, malgre all opposition of Austria, Prussia or Great Britato. If necessary, Italy is to be taken into the ‘ring,’ and Spain to remata ooutral or be (riondly, Howevor impro bable this may look at tirst blush, you will soo in it tho very bost thing that Fraace can do.

It is (tho interest of each to protect aod make an independont State of Greece, aad thus prevent tho growth of Britian influence in that classic country. Aad ail thia is favorable to th@United States Neither Russia nor France has any grounds of hostility or wofriendiinesa towards your coustry,aad they wil! delight in playing of yeur hatred of Sohn Buli against Muglaad, to show that pugaacious Power that it will not be safe to show his lina's teeth outside of bis tight tittle iatand A grander acheme aever waa concocted, and if carried Out will eclipse and throw :mto the shade al! former dip!

The whole concera is redolent of shodty a few men known in Parliamentary aad political circles are put forward aa the loaders, but those are only (he stool pigeons of the machine. The prime movers are all speculators, whose philanthropy and patriotism ary in the British pocket. They are John Laird, M. I. of Liverpool, builder of Alabamas and steam rams; W 3. Lindsay, MP of Sua- doriand, who, with bis parts Stringer, ta to be the great contractor, shoddy supplier, shipbroker and pur- voyor of stores for the new uation when it is on its Lega.

Of course this crowd would got be complete withoat the co operation of John Orrell Lover, M.P., and John Arthur Roobuck, M. P. What amount of promotion money they are promised on the recognition of the confederacy I am unable to speoify. { must oot omit to mention that previous to the isauing of the first circular Mr. Mason came to town {rom Paris, stopped a week with W. S. Lindsay,and theo two weeks at the country seat of Beresford Hope. With these the acheme was batched. Part of the plan is, that each mom- ber of the committee shall pay down £100 to form a funa to operate with. The first and greatest work for this “Southern Independence Association’’ ia to operate on Par. liament and procure a recognition of the confederacy. No doubt they would like to. One important member of the committee I omitted to mentien, and that is Alexander Baring, M. P., ono of tho house of Baring Brothers & Co, This is far trom being tho first or only indication that the great London bank- ing firm, who are the fivancial agents of the United States (and have been for over seventy years), are working with the enemies of your govern. ment to break up the Union. You remem'er that Sir Francis Baring, iu @ debate on ‘‘recognitiua’’ tn the House of Commons lust spring, entered into no argument against recognition, but confined himself to suppticating that in the «buse of United States honorable members shonld not be too harsh, but ‘(draw it mild.” ‘the Alexandra case bas been very ably discussed, and. the decia.on will be given at the opening of tho February term. Every disposition, lamau-o, exists on the part of the British Cabinet to have this case decided according to the letter of the law, and I have no doubt they would rather strain a poiut than let tho vossel go. As much of this may be credited to policy as you please; but lam gure the disposition exists. A Dill, too, is going to be brought in early in the sossion of Parliament to amead the Foreign Enlistment act, and make ilfstill more binding. In connection with this action. of the British govern. Ment there is one matter of great importance on your side that may be productive of most important conse quences. I allude to the numerous condeanations of vessels taken by your cruisers on the High soag, several of which were bound boa fide to ports ia the British West Ind{a [slands, and there wis nothing found oa them—no- thing but the merest conjecture—to show that they wee going to attempt to rur tho blockade.

The dicfffted succession fo Sebleswig-Ho'stein baa created an excitement in Germany which equals, aad almost surpag.es, the revolutionary agitation of 1943. The Germans are accused, Oot unjustiy, of being slow and pbiegmat ic. but when they are once roured they can dis- play en ardor and impulsiveness that would de credit to their mercurial neighbors in the West. The death of the King of Denmark, and the attempt of bis successor to incorporate the German Duchies with the Danish monarchy, have acted like magic upon the national spirit. Masa meootings are being bold all over the country, and for once in the way tho governments aad the people seom animated by the same feelings: Ta the quiet city of Hanover thore wasa gatheriag on Sunday of twelve thousand persons, end @ petition was addressed to the King, calliog upon btm to march bis army (nstanter ipto Sohleswig-Holstein, to overthrow tho usurper and establish the lawful sovereign Similar meetings bave come off at Leipsic and Bronawick, at ‘Augsburg and Stutigardt, at Hamburg and Bremon, aud many other towns, among the rest atdrankfart, the soat Of the Gormag Diet, whore it was resolved ‘that with tho death of Fredertok VIL tbe ualoa of Sohienyig and Alolstein with ‘Buchicn tad dee crown of Deomark Bad opagedt, that the eererered (heir independence; (hat ag % @ was tho Dulko of é the continued occupation of he Duchios by , Under ita present King, was a ‘act of open violence to the German uation, which it was the imperative duty Of the Diet, tho goverumoate and ths people to repel, and that any intervention of (orsign Powers should be regarded as an attack upon the boaor aud tho rights of Germany, and opposed, if necessary, by Corce of arms.'’ The polico—who are generally ou the alert to prevent avy popular demonstration—iook oa ipesaively, and have evidontly received orders from above aot to laterfere with them. Nor are tho Legislatures of the several States behindhand in the expreasion of thole opinions. From the Saxon and Bavarian Chambers down to the Representative Assembiy of the little primet ality of Waldeck, motions have been brought torwaré urgiag (he goveramenty to take immediate action ia this Groat natiouas quostion; and in the Prussian Gouee Deputiaa & resolution was proposed on Monday to the effect that ‘the honor aod {atereste of Gormany require that (he rights of the Ducnies should be supported by alt the Gorman States; that the hereditary Prince of Augus touburg be acknowledged aa Duke of Schlowwig-Holatom, ‘and (hat effectual assistance be roudered hum in agger huis claim.” A special committee was chosen yosior to roport on this resolution, and the debate upoa it wilt probably take plage La toe course of the week. ask Ia the Diet i contending candidates have al Come to opeu hostilities. On the 21st the Danish appeared, to notify the death of bis master and preseat his crodentials from the new King or Duke of Hoisteta, bap. was mot by the Minister of Baden, who anaouaced hia self as the representative of the real Simon Pure, and moved that the envoy of Christian IX. should act bead- mitted iato the assembly, and that ¢he Prince of Augusten- burg be recogaized aa the legitimate heir to the late Duke. The motion was ecconded by Oldenburg, Weimar, Coburg, Altenburg and Meiningen; ana Bavaria went to the root of the whole question by proposing to declare the protocet of London not binding upon the Germanic Oontederation. {t tuts should pass, it would bring matters to am igau9 at once; aod, as it is absurd to imagine that Deomark would submit to be doprived of two pro viacos by the stroke of the pon, noibing would be tet but an appeal to the witima ratio. A good deal, however, Gope:.ds upon tho attitude of Austria and Prussia. Thog have both signed the Londou troaty, and cannvt, thore- fore, object bo the alteration in the line of succession whiok (a oxpressiy stipulated by that document. But thead- mintatrative union of Schleswig with Deomark, effected by tne new Danish constitution, t# a perfect violation of the said treaty, according to which Schleswig aad Hol- atoia were only to bo connected with the kingdom by & personal union. Does this violation abseive Austria and Prussia from their ocngagomeats under the treaty? This seams & doubtful point. It would apparently be more couformabie with iaterna- tional usages for them to enter toto negotiations with tke co sigaators—viz.: Kuglaod, France, Russia aod Swoden— to enforce the treaty alipulations upon the offending State. At all oventa, it would be more prudent; for by such pre- ceedig the danger of a rupture with the Powers: to Deamark would be avoided, and there would stilt ch nce of settling the affair peacoably by tho joint inter voation of the contracting parties. But the national effervescence has attained such bei that (he voice of prudence is acarcely listened to, and ides of allowing f States to in what deemed an exclusively domestic question ls scouted ag @ie- graceful and bumlUiating to the groat Gorman Fatherland.
