While awaiting farther intelligence through the Atlantic cabie of the progress of the peace movement initiated among the German States, recent events ia England are entitled to some attention touching her. present position and probable course of action in reference to Earo- pean and American affairs, The great popular reform meeting held the other day in London somewhat cmphatically expressed its want of confidence in the Derby government; but this expression was doubtless intended to apply to Derby as a standatill or retrogressive aristo- crat, concerning whom the masses of the Eng- lish people have no ideas or principles or pur- poses, except those of distrust and antagonism. There is, however, another man in this Derby ministry, who, as a man of modern ideas and conspicuously identified among English statesmen as a champion of the progressive spirit of the age, may prove sufficiently strong to loaven the whole lump and make this Derby government popular and succeasfal. This man is the famous Disraeli, the present Chancellor of the Exchequer. In this Derby Cabinet he stands out in even bolder relief than stood Mr. Gladstone in the displaced Russell Cabinet. We incline to the opinion also that Disracli will wield a greater influence in shaping the general policy of this Derby Cabinet than did Gladstone in shaping the policy, and especially the foreign policy, of Earl Russell, because, although Derby is what may be called an old Bourbon, who learns nothing and forgets nothing, he is far more flexible ‘and practical upon the question of England's foreign policy than that rough, gruff, obstinate, presuming and offensive little man, Russell. Unquestionably, with the dis- placement of Russell, the most difficult stum- bling block in the way of a quict and satisfac- tory seitlement of our unsetiled balances againet England has been removed, and from Disraeli we ure now prepared for a satisfac- tory setilement. We say Disracli, for he in reality is the master spirit of the present min- istry, and from his large experience, his great abil'ties and bis liberal ideas, particularly in relation to American affairs, we are inclined to expect great things from him as the direct- ing genius of Derby. First, howover, in regard to the affuirs of Europe, the Earlof Derby has taken the safe position of non-intervention till called upon to essist in behalf of peace. He says:—“Tho Emperor Napoleon has been appealed to by one of the belligerents (Austria) for bie mediation and good offices, but with what success remains to be seen. If our assistance or good offices shall be needed to co-operate with those of France for the purpose of restoring peace to Europe, nothing would be nearer the desires ot her Majesty’s government than to afford them. But until our mediation or good offices have been applied for, Ihold that we should he stepping out of our province if we were to interfere between the conflicting parties.” From this it would appear that Lord Derby’s non-intervention policy is substantially that of Mr. Seward; but in being ready to step forward when wanted, the British Premier is somewhat ahead of the American Secretary of State, who is always ready with excuses, or for excuses, but never ready for action. We are mainly intorested, however, in this Derby ministry in reference to its polley upon American affairs, and especially in the matter of certain unsettled balances due to us from England in consequence of those thoroughly discussed Anglo-rebel spoliations upon Ameri- can commerce from 1861 to 1965, Here, from some able, sagacious and broadly speeches of Mr. Disraeli in the House of Com- mons, in the course of oir laie civil war, we #te disposed to believe, should these claims be now “hea. before the British govern- tones i es hooting ly : od f of @ prompt and liberal in- @emnification. In thus securing the bonds of peece and friendship recognized between Bng- (ond and the United States, the Derby ministry may gain 4 foothold ja the affections of the masses of the British people. There are reasons now for the expectation of this “happy accord” which have not existed heretofore, except for a few days of doubt and uncertainty in 1858. We refer to the reasons suggested in the suc- cess of the Atlantic cable. In bringing the Old World and the New, Old England and Young America, into immediate rapport, this cahle will multiply a thousand times the moral influence of our poptier institutions and ideas, progress and prosperity, in England and throughout the entire world. Hence the greater he advantages which will accrue to England in establishing her relations of peace with the United States upon a solid basis. Hence, vccordingly, the stronger the inducement and he necessity to England and the Derby ministry ot a satisfactory adjustment of those claims aris- ‘ng from Anglo-rebel spoliations upon our com- merce on the high seas, Disraeli cannot fail to see, in this connec- tion, that in view of the reconstruction of Eurepe England will do well to have an anchor to the windward in the closest possible bonds of amity and reciprocity in friendly offices with the United States. In every aspect, there- ‘ore, of the affairs of both hemispheres, as they now stand, we have good reasons for expect- ing from the Derby and Disraeli ministry a much broader and much more honest policy iowards this country than that of Palmerston nd Russell, Disraeli is one of the active living leading mon of England as sho is to-day. He has kept pace with the progress of modern events and idcas, and to him, therefore, we look for the success of the present Derby Cabi- net, notwithstanding the cloud under which it has been called into existence. It must adapt itself to the spirit and necessities of the age, or it must retire. Tho New Orleans Riots—Electioncering Tricks of the Radicals. The evidence that the radicals are directly responsible for the New Orleans riots is daily accumulating. Not only do we know that the radical leaders were informed of the design beforehand, but we can sce traces of their work throughout the whole disturbance, and their organs have already made manifest the object at which they aim. The men foremost in the riots are by no means unknown. Thoy were at Washington during the winter, openly denouncing the President, talking in the most violent, abusive and revolutionary manner, holding councils with the radical leaders and boasting of what they would do in Louisiana to assist Congress in its crusade against the conservative sentiment of the country. The wholo affair at New Orleans is a radioal elec- tionecring trick, got up to divert the attention of the people from the real issues of the fall campaign. It is the old dodge of “bleeding Kansaa” in a new form. The uses made of the news about the dis- turbances by the radical press are enough to show the animus of the plot. These organs speak about “loyal citizens of the United States dying from wounds received by a rebel mob.” They tell us that “the policy of An- drew Johnson engendered the demo fury which has shed blood in the streets of the Crescent City,” and that “his statemanship has again raised rebel flags in New Orleans.” The negroes are advised to “strike back,” and to “take life for life and limb for limb.” This is the old familiar radical slang of which the country heard so much before the rebellion and of which we are all so heartily sick. It is the sort of language that has cost us one civil war and may yet lead to another. Of course there are no facts that in the slightest degree justify it. In truth the riots seem to have been wilfully and maliciously provoked by the radicals themselves. They made an attempt to revive the dead Louisiana Convention of 1864, in order to enfranchise the negroes and disfran- chise ex-rebels ; but this convention would not, of itself, have caused a riot. The radicals, how- ever, not only illegally called the convention, end thus created a division in the State govern- ment and a conflict between the State and na- tional authorities, but they sent armed bands of negroes parading around the streets. During these parades the negroes, many of whom were intoxicated, crowded and pushed against the white spectators, and the natural result was a street fight. A white mob endeavored to dis- perse the negro mob, and the negroes marched into the building in which the convention met and made that their citadel, firing upon the people from the windows. This would havo caused a riot in New York, Boston or Phila- delphia. No wonder, then, that bloodshed was the consequence in New Orleans. It is not at all astonishing that the radicals should resort to such devices to keep up an excitement and so retain power. They are political Mother Carey’s chickens, and flourish only in storms. Their infamous deceptions in regard to “bleeding Kansas” first brought them into office, and they were in their element during the long war of the rebellion, when the people had no time to scrutinize their conduct carefully. But when peace was declared the radicals felt themselves doomed. Their mis- management of the finances, their peculations, defulcations, deficiencies, corruptions and jobs could no longer be concealed. They managed, therefore, to raise another cloud of dust by forcing a quarrel with the President and re- newlng the old shouts of “copperhead” and “rebel.” But before the session of Congress closed they found themselves compelled to adopt the President's general policy and to admit bis own State. Thus, with the fall elections approaching and the country clamor- ing for reform and union, the radicals saw that @ new source of excitement must be discovered or they would be lost. The Memphis riots suggested the means, and, as we charge, the plot was regularly arranged. A war between races in the South, it was argued, would con- demn President Johnson and would again arouse the war feeling at the North. Under this pressure the fall elections could be easily carried, and even negro suffrage might, per- haps, be obtained during the war fever. Seo- retary Stanton was ordered by the radicals to remain in the Cabinet in order tb “keep the army all right.” Radical refased to vote for appropriations for Southern improve- ments on the ground that the negroes would shortly rebel against “their oppressors” and would then destroy these public works. With thie information before us we were not at all eurprised When the news of the New Orleans riots was received. We anticipated it, aa did ll persons who are familiar with the election- coring tricks of the radicals. But we shall be vory much surprised if 90 stale @scheme sac- coeds, The radicals may rant and rave; the nearces may be incited (9 riots and rulas but the tax-collectors are presenfigg the people with arguments against the radicais more po- tent than sensation reports of Southern disturb- ances, and tho incendiary revolutionisty will be summarily suppressed at the polla, Amorican Aid to Mexico—The Neutrality Laws. It is evident, from the numerous rumors afloat, that we are on the eve of important movements in bebalf of the republic of Mexico. Our people have become dissatisfied with the piddling policy of the Secretary of State towards that government, and are now prepar- ing to take this question into their own hands. They looked to General Banks, as chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, to investi- gate this affhir and in a comprehensive report point out the way to remedy the present evils in that country. It was understood that he pre- pared an eluborate report on this eubject, but was not able to present it to Congress, owing to some personal opposition. This being the case, our people are obliged to. resort to some other plan to save that republic and prevent a monarchy being established at our doors, If their representatives in Congress and the ad- ministration will not do their duty, then the peo- ple will take hold of it, just as they took hold of our late war, and carry it through in spite of the treachery and double-dealing of men in power. They are unquestionably sick and tired of the truckling and toadying policy of the State De- partment towards European Powers, and are determined that there shall be no furtber fyol- ing in regard to Mexico, and that this perplexed question shall be settled without delay. It is still hoped that President Johnson will seize upon the present favorable opportunity to ex- fend the friendly hand of the government to that country in a manner that will not only rid it of the monarchists who are trying to fasion themselves upon it, but will also put an end to the personal feuds and anarchy among the liberals, and protect them in their efforts to re-establish their government in the hands of the legal and constitutional representatives, The question, however, very naturally arises, how are the friends of law and order and of the Mexican republic in this country to accom- plish anything in this direction, in the face of our present statute of neutrality, enacted for the special benefit of Europe? Had the amend- ed law passed both houses of Congress all admit that the way would have beenclear. But is there, after all, any berrier to movements of this kind in behalf of Mexico, in the present statute? Is there anything in that law which will prevent our people sustaining the time-honored principles of the Mon- roe Doctrine? We believe that a fair and liberal interprotatioa of the neutrality laws will enable our people individaally to assist the republican cause in Mexico as against Maximilian in any manner that they may see fit. Section three of the laws of 1818 provides “that if any person shall, within the limits of the United States, it out and arm, or attempt to fit outand arm, or shall knowingly be concerned in furnishing, fitting out and arm- ing of any ship or vessel, with intent that such ship or vessel shall be employed in the service of any foreign prince or State, to cruise or com- mit hostilities against the subjects of any foreign prince or State, or of any colony or district with whom the United States are at peace, or shall issue or deliver a commission within the territory or juriediction of the United States, for any ship or veesel, to the intent that she may be employed as aforesaid, every person so offending shall be deemed, &ec.” Tt will be seen by the wording of this section that the offence consists in fitting ont vessels to operate against mations and govern- ments with whom the United States are at peace. When we pass a little further along, to the sixth section of the same act, we find the same provisions in regard to setting on foot, or providing and preparing means for any military expedition or enterprise to operate against any government with whom the United States are at peace, shall also be punished as therein pro- vided. It is clear from the very wording of these sections that the provisions do not apply to our present relations with Mexico. In the fret place these expeditions and vessels, to come within the scope of the law, must be organized and fitted out to attack ® government or a foreign Power with whom we are at peace. To be at peace with a gov- ernment we are obliged to recognize its exist- ence. Now the United Stateshas never recog- nized Maximilian’s empire or in any way treated it as being in existence. On the con- trary, our government has persistently refused to countenance it in any form, but bas adhered to the fact that the republic of Mexico is the only power there, as is shown by the fact that our Minister is accredited to the republic and not to Maximilian. The deduction therefore follows that any vessel or military expedition fitted out to assist the republic in driving Maxi- milian out of that country and in the destruc- tion of his pretended empire, fe not » violation of our neutrality laws, for the simple reason that it does not operate against a government with whom the United States is at peace. Assuming that this is the correct interpre- tation of the statute, we see no obstacle in the way of our citizens rendering all the assistance that they may desire to the republican caase country to rendw the needed by the liberals, be made to arrest their parties engaged in furnishing materials assist Mexico before the legal tribunal for violation of neutrality laws, put the foregoing interpretation upon statute. We apprehend that such will proba- bly be the view that our jadicial officers will take of the question. The fact that the At- torney General of the United States recently gave an opinion that the citizens of this country Could furnish the liberals in Mexico with arms and ammunition without violating the neu- trality laws, lends us to the view that the United States courts will hold that military expeditions and vessels oan be fitted out in this country to operate against Maximilian without coming within the scope of the statute of 1818, This presents this Mexican question in @ pew phase, and will bring it before the public in sltogetber a new light. The agents of Maximilian can certainly have no right to demand the enforcement of our neutrality laws in hie tayor ea long as our government refuses ——EEE to recognize that he ts even abeliigerent. All complaints from that quarter shon.'4 be dis- missed at once, as it is probable t.'*t they will be. i IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

It'is done, to be sure, in a quieter and more genteel way, but it does not the lees mark their impecunious state and their anxiety to secure whatever chance patronage may be picked up in this way. Various are the reasons assigned for this falling off. Speak to a landlord, and be will tell you that.the cholera is: the cause of it, numbers-having been scared away to Europe by the epidemic. Admitting this to be true, which it is not, it would only partially account for it, There may have been some diminution of visitors from this cause, but it is a very slight one, Most of the people who have gone to Europe this year are persons who are period!- cally in the habit of visiting it. They certainly were not in any Jarger cxcess of numbers than last summer, when there was 60 heavy a shoddy exodus. The outbreak of war in Germany sent many of them back, and brought home in addition numbers who bad settled down | Pont uckew tn rackages oft twenty sed multiples ef price 4D abroad. On the whole, we question if the de- hi maplbed = hrNery fe — ne partures for Europe affected unfavorably the prospects of our watering places. The cholera certainly did not. On the contrary, it pre- sented such powerful inducements for people to visit them that only reasons more powerful could have kept them away. What these were it is scarcely necessary for us to say. The fear of the pest proved secondary to the apprehen- sion of the extortion and incivility which of late have characterized the conduct of the hotel keepers at those places towards their visitors. By this time the landlords have, we hope, found out thoir mistake. ‘Their ill-gained profits of last season have been swopt away by the blunders of this. They literally stand in the position of the foolish fellow who killed the goose that Inid the golden egg. It is very doubtful if they will be able to get back the patronage which they have eo stupidly driven away. The expericnce of the present season in pleasantly situated farm houses and quiet mountain retreats, where they live comfortably and cheaply, has convinced people of the folly of their submitting to be ill-treated and plun- dered for the enrichment of hotel proprietors. There is such a thing as putting on the screw too tight. It may be done once, but will not succeed a second time.
