THUS are in all free CO=tri es two parties—the ; Me leaning to the side of authority, aristocracy, and government ; the other drawing its strength and ; principles from the popular side,and favouring the in- Harney and the rights of the majority of the people. One should think that when the necessities of the age demanded a development of the popular power, then the liberals would acquire political influence and direct legislation towards the fulfilment of men's , yaw- sand thought,. And that when repression was necessary, or any great measure required for miti gating the onward impulse, or curtailing the liberties of the people, then the conservative party would take the helm. Houever this may be the case in the main, it has still huppenril singularly enough for many years past that it is the whigs or Ida rat party who have under taken to introduce and carry measures for repression and resistance.; whilst it is the facies who have stood wadfatherc to laws of religious emancipation, or economical reform. Of all the great measures of our time, the amendment of the poor law was cer tainly the most governmental and the most unpopu lar; vet it was the whigs, and not the tories, who undertook it. On the other hand the tories put the finishing stoke to the emancipation of the catholics, and the abolition of the aristocratic Porn monopoly. We could explain very satisfactorily how this is. The rea-aan is, that parliament can never be led into a wise and good act ; it must be tricked into it, and parties half bullied and half betrayed. To perform this task it is absolutely requisite for the . party most dime t neat). opposed in principle to what is to be done, to undertake to do it ; for this facilitates the trick. Such may be a very degrading exposition of the f.'s timvdr of constitutional government ; but it is the true one. And, in south, we are not surprised that absolutist statesmen who sky but the crooked model prey, and do not like the results, should insist that the emstitutional system is the most egregious of humbugs. We have indulged in these remarks in order to shoes that this plan of a liberal party doing illiberal work, which has so often succeeded, hats in the pre- went crisis failed. The Roman catholies, or the chief whom they acknowledge, have undeniably broken the kind of part or truce that was established by the Emancipation Act. They lucre made an aggression on pinhead:int feeling, and even on the royal dignity and rights. 'lit repress them was just'. and was loudly milked fur. That tusk, we own, na turally belonged to the harks. FM" our own part, seeing that such repression was just and inevitable, we preferred that it should be done bv the whir. saving that it would be temperate and short-lived. But the whir have been unable to perform a task, for • hieh their peofisseions and their position at the Lead of a liberal party prevent them. We will not indeed take it upon us ut the present moment to decide, whether the whigs have, as vet, actually and defini tively failed in that task. But ibis we know, and of this we arc certain, that if the whir do fail in what is a plaits governmental duty, power most inevitably, and of a consequence, pass into the hands of the tunes. , ')lie people of England are very quiet.

MORE in sorrow than in anger we must say that the intimation made by Lord Jolts Ressma. on Fri day, of the mode in which the financial business of the session is to be proceeded with. has a most suspi cious air of taking advantage of the time lost by " the crisis" to force upon parliament a budget ins proved in no material respects. Lord Joint reminded the House of Commons that the Mutiny Act will expire on the 26th of April, on the eve of the Easter holidays ; and that before a new mutiny bill can be introduced some un derstanding must have been come to respecting the number of men to be voted for the sea and land ser vice. Lord lons, therefore, proposed to deal with the navy estimates on Monday (to -day), to take up the army and ordnance estimates on some early day (not named), and to put off the CitvxcEtioll of the EXCHEQUER'S statement of any modifications or altera tionsto be made on the budget till Friday the 21st inst. By this arrangement the Commons will be forced into voting the army, navy, and ord nance estimates as they stand, upon a hasty and superficial examination ; and when they have done this, Sir CHARLES WOOD will come forward and tell them that, after such votes, it is impossible to make any essential changes in the financial arrangements for the year. Now, it is admitted on all hands, that if extensive retrenchments of c xpeuditurc are anywhere possible, it is in the naval and military departments. If, therefore, the House of Commons participate to any extent in the indignation awakened out of doors by Sir CitattLEs WOOD'S budget —if they have the faintest intention to do their duty by their constitu ents they will make a stand upon the estimates, and begin to-clay with the navy estimates. According to an abstract prefixed to the estimates the reduction on the total sum required to he voted for the service of the navy in 1831-2 is 181,003'. After the exposures made in the committee on these esti mates this retrenchment appears to be insultingly small, But small though it appear, it is less in reality. It includes a sum of 0,7,21. (for the General Register and Record Office of Seamen), which has only been transferred to the accounts of the Board of Trtide ; and in the estimates for the Post-office De partment, which is still prepared by the Admiralty, and to subserve Admiralty purposes, there is an in crease of 5.1,232/. The actual saving for the year shown on the estimates does not exceed 123,8611. The total charge for the Post-office Packet Service in 1830.1 was 76-1,236!. ; it is proposed to raise it to 309,4961. in 1831-2. The expense of QEEEN'S ves sels employed in the packet service in 1830-1 was 1:11,916/.; nn lff.ll-2 it is to be only 82,0711.; but then the contract packet service of the year about to terminate cost only 629,21 W., whereas that for the ensuing year is to be 727,4231. Now, this distinction between the QUEEN'S vessels and the contract vessels employed in the packet service, is a rank juggle. We published on Thursday last a correspondence be tween the Lords of the Admiralty and certain steam companies employed in carrying the mails, relative to the exclusion of iron steam ships from the con tract packet service. From that correspondence it is apparent that the object principally kept in view by the Admiralty when contracting with these companies has been, not to ensure the most swift, regular, and economical carriage of the snails, but to keep in reserve, at the public ex pence, and without the public knowing anything of the matter, an extra f leet of war steamers. Our ocean mail carriage is less efficient and more expen sive than it ought to be, in order that the Admiralty may maintain more vessels built for purposes of war than the public would tolerate. This is the secret of the extravagant contracts into which the Admiralty has entered with the Ocean Steam Navigation Companies, without the privity of parlia ment. And government has gained more by these contracts than a clandestine augmentation of its °lva! force: they have, in one instance at least,' smoothed the way to the attainment of a seat in par liament by a government official, to say nothing of the number of votes they may occasionally conciliate in the House of Commons. 'Turning to examine the navy estimates, properly SO called, the first thing that strikes us is an increase of 1,323/. in the estimate fur the Admiralty works and repairs, and naval stores. These topics, however, the length to which our remarks have already run warns us to reserve for further dis cussion. a _ . Enough hen been said to show that if the House of Con:mons sincerely wish to amend Sir CHARLES Woods budget they mast set to work in good earnest this very evening. FRANCE. PARIS, SATCRDAY EVIVINO. To-day the Assembly resumed its public sittings, but its operations were confined to passing or reject ing a string of motions without interest. The main subject of conversation was the resolution of the government, which I announced yesterday, eon eerning, the elections of the national guard. AI. Baze, a member of the committee on the bill for organising the national guard, has been the person selected to bring forward a motion which is composed of the two following articles: "Art. I. The elections of the national guard are suspended until after the pro mulgation of the definitive law on the organisation of the public force. Art. 2. All the officers and sub officers of the national guard are maintained in their functions." The long-expected decree, making changes in the appointments of prefects, appears in the Moniteur of to-day. Twenty-one prefects ore changed, but of this number only eight are removed from the pre rectorial rank, the rest being transposed to other de- Cents. The The eight prefects dismissed are : M. Prefect of the Tarn; M. Girand-Teulon. of the llautes-Alpes ; M. Fresnean, of the Pas de Calais; M. Jules Itousset, of the Loire; M. Dubois, of the Haute-Loire; M. de Frossard, of the Var; M. Sylvain Blot, of the Meuse; and M. Touret, of the Seine et Marne. The persons promoted to the rank of prefects are : NI de flamelike, Sub Prefect of Boulogne, appointed prefect of the Allier; M. de Seger. auditor to the Council of State, appointed Prefect of the Arige; M. Dunoyer, secre tary-general of the Douches du lthone, appointed Prefect of the Hautes-Alpes; M. Bret, old prefect, appointed Prefect of the Loire; M. do Vidaillan, old prefect, appointed Prefect of the Haute-Loire; 3L Gustave de Romans appointed Prefect of the Var; M. Lengle, Sub-Prefect of Valenciennes, appointed Prefect of the Meuse ; M. Beequey, Sub-Prefect of St. Etienne, appointed Prefect of the hen. It is observed that the name of M. Itomien, the intimate of the Elysee, which was expected to figure in this list as Prefect of the Ilaute-Garonne, is emit ted. M. Veron is said to be furious at the disappointment of those in whose favour he had made applications, and has broken altoether with the Elysee. M. Veron. as I understan d, sug gested, on the occasion of his last interview with the President. the prudence of keeping well with the press, to which Louis-Napoleon replied, "Bali, la presse sae prat rice A skeleton, in a complete suit of rusty armour, has been discovered in the hollow trunk of a secular willow, near Perigueux. The fashion of the armour is as old as the 13th century. SUNDkT Evp'iso. In the face of the strong opposition which has been maniksted by the Assembly against the an nounced intention of the government to allow the elections of the national guard to take place on March 25, according to the old law of universal suffrage, the executive power appears to have paused, if not alto gether to have renounced its design. In fact, the President could not have persevered in this course without sacrificing his most able supporters. An ex traordinary meeting was held by the Club of the Rue des Pyramides on Friday night, and a resolution passed almost unanimously against the conduct con templated by the cabinet. At the same time three members, MM. Iteugnot, Mathieu de la Itedorte, and another, were deputed to communicate this result to the Minister of the Interior, and to use all argu- mcnts to dissuade the government from adopt ing so dangerous a course. These remon strances seem to have been attended with some effect; for immediately after the deputation had been received by the minister, a cabinet council was assembled at the Elysee, and it was determined that M. Waisse should immediately proceed to the com mittee on the National Guard Bill in order to cum- municate the new resolution taken by the govern ment. Yesterday at two the president of the com mittee announced that the Minister of the Interior desired to be bean!. Having been admitted after a slight delay, M. Waisse began by complaining of the publicity given to his previous answers, and of the general alarm and agitation which had been the consequence of noising abroad what had been com municated in confidence. A member of the com mittee answered that the Committee of Permanence had been accused by the government or by its friends of the seertsy and mystery which it pre served with regard to its debates, and was attacked from the tribune by N. Lamartine On this account. M. Waisse then sta:cd that the, cabinet, in consequence of the ussurtince which it had received that the report on the National Guard Bill would he ready in 6 weeks or 2 months, renounced the intention of causing the general elec tions to take place immediately. A member of the committee then asked if, in consequence of the new resolution of the cabinet, M. Wanes; was the bearer of anv transitory bill. The minister answered " No." Such`a bill appeared useless, as there was in the con stitution an article providing that functionaries should remain in their posts wail they were re placed. " But," the committee asked, " could the national guards be considered in the light of func . . tionariesi'" On the other hand, the principle of triennial elections being legally established, a law was indispensable to authorise the adjournment. M. Waisse himself had declared, at pirvmus sittings of the committee, that the decree of the provisional go vernment had the force of law, and that the govern ment was bound to execute it. M. Waisse replied that a fresh examination had convinced the mi nisters that the elections could be deferred without danger. The minister was about to withdraw, when one of the members rose, and exclaimed that the committee could not consent to be bound by that declaration that the elections could be adjourned without the intervention of a law. To this M. Waisse replied: "Well, do you keep your liberty, and we will keep ours." ImmAliately after his with drawal, the committee, by a majority of 11 votes out of 12, decided that a transitory law was indispensa ble, and should be presented. The following is the form of the resolution: "The committee accepts with satisfaction the declarations of the government, but is ol'opinion that a transitory law is necessary." The question now occurs by whom this law is to be presented. The committee having calculated the number of days strictly necessary to carry its bill through the (' b omber, decided on giving the govern ment some days to choose whether it would under take the initiative of the transitory bill. If within. that time it did nothing, presentee) no measure, it was settled that the bill should be brought in by the committee. This determination was immediately communicated to the Minister of the Interior. The government. in changing its resolution, has been probably much influenced by the coldness and indifference with which the announcement of its first determination was received by the democratic press. The principal features of the Committee's Bill on the National Guard are as follows: „ The collards de reernArtnrrot are chosen by the prefects, half in the municipal council, half in the national guard; these councils have full powers to draw up the lists, and dispense from duty or service. The uniform is obli gatory in all towns of above 3,000 souls. Election in two degrees i s re-established for the officers from the rank of captain. The heads of legions will be also elected. Only the national guards under active service will take part in the elections. Two years of domicile are necessary to be inscribed on the rolls. The cavalry is appointed or not at the option of the councils-general. The artillery 6 suppressed except in fortified towns and on the coast." Admiral Vaillant, Minister of Marine, is. I hear, appointed to the command of the West India sta non. for which he will start in a few days. .‘ilm;ral Dupetit-Thouars. it 6 thought, will succeed him in the ministry of marine. Much di;content is manifested in diplomatic circles with the tone latterly assumed by the Turkish go vernment in its negotiations with France. One of I the main objects of F renc h dipl omacy h as b een , t i me out of mind, to support the pretensions of the Roman .1 , catholic* in the East, no less against rival Christian ; st.ets than against Mussuboan fanaticism. Now. the holy places in Palestine. and the sloines before which Cluistian pilgrims meet from all quarters of the East, have always been a subject of dispute between' contending sects ; and not unfrequently the square- ! capped Greek monk and the shaven Franciscan are to be seen, on the most solemn occasions, in the most sacred sanctuaries, seuffling.seizing each other by the beard, and using their crucifixes as instruments of warfare. The decline of the Latin church in the East since the period of the crusades had led to the gradual ejectment of the catholics from the numerous shrines in which they once held sway, while the wealthy indigenous Greek schismatics and Armenians havesupplantedthem. Meanwhile the modern treaties appealed to he France on behalf of the catholics, in order to decide claims of this sort, are the capitula tions of 1673 and 1740. Meanwhile, the growth of the Greek church and the decay of the Latin renders in many instances the awards of these capitulations as preposterous as the worst abuses of the Protestant church in Ireland. Hence, by a series of decisions I of the muftis, given commonly in favour of the wealthier litigant, and often inspired by the influence of Itussia, great part of these capitulations has be come a dead letter, and the dwindling Latins have ' been obliged to give way to their flourishing rivals. Well, it seems that General Aupick, in attempting to come to some understanding with the Porte on the claims of the catholics, who are always addressing memorials of fresh grievances to the Fiench govern ment, proposed to take for the base of negotiations the capitulations of 1673 and 1740. The Turkish government has just sent a note in reply, admitting those capitulations only in part, as the base of the new arrangement, and * propsing to include the fir mans and decrees of the Turkish tribunals as the other part. This appears to have stirred serious ob jections on the part of France. Another grave subject of negotiation between the French and Turkish governments is the interpreta tion of the treaty of June 10, P 441, which settles the relations of Egypt towards the Porte. 'The French government regards the pretensions just put forth by the suzerainstwer as quite incompatible with that treaty, and a ltogether destructive of the quasi-inde pendence which is therein secured to Egypt. A telegraphic despatch announces that Admiral Romain-Destosses, having hoisted his flag on hoard the steam-corvette Chaptal, sailed definitively on the 4th instant to take command of the station to which he had been appointed in the Levant. Much noise has been made on the subject of the admiral's steaming away from Brest, instead of going by land to Marseilles or Toulon and taking ship there, as there is a great outcry about economy ; and this crotchet of the ex-minister will cost the government a thousand pounds in coal. Admiral Vaillant, the present Minister of Marine, who rose from before the mast, was greatly scandalised when he found that his predemssor in office had appointed to take him out from Itrest the finest stwmer in the French ser vice, the Descartes. At first he sent the admiral wont that retrenchment was the order of the day, and he must make the best of his was- to Toulon, and hoist his Hag there. Upon this besfuss.s made viulent re monstrances, and at length Vaillant, at the personal request of the President, somewhat mollified, con sented to let the commander of the Levant station go out in the Chuptal, a steam-corvette. But, no sooner had Desfoss s embarked, than the Chaptul sprang a leak, and was obliged to put back. At last the atfitir appears to be settled. ITALY. NAPLES, MAReir 3. The political drama of court revenge continues: no sooner are the 4'2 in irons than we are favoured with two other prwcssi, got up to order, against a poorer class of offenders than those who have hitherto figured at the criminal court ; but as all classes are to be punished for their constitutional opinions, the whole transaction must be regarded as the earning out of a system. Forty-seven persons are accused in the cases called the 2fith of January, and forty-six in those which are entitled the sih of September. Most of the accused arc working men, and some lie long even to the class called hawnoti. They were imprisoned nearly two years since under the follow ing circumstances : When the King felt strong enough to defy his constitutional oath, the court party organised /trz:aironi mobs, which were regu larly headed by a rapfr, and, as circumstances dictated, issued forth with white flags, shouting "Viva it lie!" The official journal designated these mobs ns men whose "candid and spontaneous feel ings dictated their expressions of loyalty." Now, on the days above named, these hirelings of the court were met by a mob of men from another part of the city, who shouted "Long live the constitutional king;" A fight ensued, and the "candid and spon taneous" were well beaten. Whereupon the go vernment threw their opponents into prison. These unfortunate men arc now accused of having shouted seditious words on these occasions,and are to be pun ished accordingly. The trials, like those of the • U,eita Idahoan, will simply register the means em ployed by the court party to get rid of the constitu tion, and heap fresh infamy on all concerned. The ex-minister, l'oerio, has been removed to the island of Ischia, still chained to a fellow-prisoner. h is removal originates, it is said, from the governor of his late place of confinement having shown some pity for his sufferings. Whilst all Europe, nay, all the world, is looking forward to the approaching Exhibition with intense interest and anxiety, Neapolitan subjects have been refused passports to England; and " the children of this world are wise in their generation," for not more antagonistic are the principles and practice of the government to every thing that would be seen and felt and heard in the land of freedom thnn is dark ness to light. Doubtless, too, the holy Catholic church would be most unwilling to expose her children to the influence of the eloquence of a Gavazzi, whose " words that burn" have found their way even here, spite of custom-houses and Jesuits.

On Saturday was announced in the Express the arrival at So - uthamptou of the Madrid, with the Peninsula mails. _ . _ The quotations of exchanges, &e., in Lisbon on the 2nd inst. were ;—London, 541 to 1; Paris, 330; Am sterdam, 421 ; Hamburg, 4$ for bills at 3 months, with an abundance of paper and few takers ; Portu guese Five per Cent. Stock, 49 to 30 ; Four per Cents., 39 to 40 ; Bank of Portugal shares, 13 to 123 milrens discount per share—these rates being in Lisbon Bank notes, discountable at 31 per cent., and the Oporto Bank shares without alteration. The Lisbon Cus tom-house revenue for February was 140 contos against 163 for February, 1$30; and 170 contus for 1849. Trude was in a very dull state, nor did it ap pear that the reiterated complaints against the in troduction of smuggled goods into the provinces, or the progress of Spain in a liberal commercial policy, was likely to move the Count of Thomar's cabinet to reduce the Portuguese tariff. The English public will shortly have an opportunity of judging of the progress made in manuticturtso under excessively protective duties, as Portugal's tribute to the Grand Exposition was about to be shipped from the arsenal at Lisbon, where the Queen and court had inspected the different articles. It appears that the mineral and vegetable kingdoms contain the best specimens. At Oporto on the 3rd inst. the rate olexchange fr' this packet was done at 3l! to 341, with the usual routine of transactions. Large quantities of oranges were being shipped from Oporto, the quality of which is superior to that of former years. Shipments of a like nature were also being made from the port of Viunna—an occurrence previously unheard of from that place. aferior The Berlin evening papers of the 7th inst. affirm that Prince Schwarzenberg, on the French, Spanish, and Portuguese ambassadors suggesting the necessity of a European congress to revise the treaty of 1813, very positively denied the competency of such a con gress to decide on the question of the entrance of the whole Austrian monarchy into the confederation. Our correspondent writes as follows : BERLIN, ?faucet 7. The Note PreuAsische says that Prince Schwarzenberg's reply to the last l'russiun note arrived yesterday evening. The tons of this reply is said to be different from that of the former, but not to be decisive. Explanations are re quired on several points. The French protest against the admission of the Austrian provinces occupies attention, and by some journals it is said to declare that if this measure be proceeded with the French republic will consider it a nava brill. The Dresden conferences ought to be resumed to-morrow, when the period to which they have been ad journed expires, but under the circumstances it is expected that some further delay will take place. The Second Chamber has commenced the discussion of the budget. The estimates for the diplomatic service have been voted. They amount to 639,420 thalers. Ikekeruth endeavoured on this vote to procure from the government a statement on the foreign policy of the country, but failed ; the report of the commission un the budget declared, that in drawing up their report they have been guided solely by the consideration that Prussia was a European power, and must have a foreign representation. The estimate, for the president of the ministry, 34,900 thalers; for the king's' civil cabinet, 18,700, being an increase of 100 thalers un the previous year ; for the general commission on orders of knighthood, 21,540 thulen ; for the chamber of audits, 114,000 thalen; and fur the court of examination of public servants, 970 thalers have been voted. The chamber discussed to-day the estimates for the administration of jus tice. The ordinary expenditure for this branch of the public service is estimated at 9,021,196, and the extraordi nary at 107,443 thalers; the marine at 5,496,662 thalers. The whole was voted without much discussion. OMRAL HAYNAU'S ADDRESS TO THE HESSIAN OFFIUitS. A .A" C.VAEL, MARCH 4.—The following is, rerbatint, the address of General Haynau (a near relative of the Austrian Haynau) to the Hessian officers, on the 4th October last :—" Gentlemen,—l have summoned von here to tell you that I have been commissioned in his Royal Highness to crush under foot that per nicious gang that threatens the welfare of the state.

By the arrival of the steam-ship Africa, Captain Byrn:. which sailed from New York on the 2 6 ;t1, ult., mid reached Liverpool - ‘..,terday at noon, we are in possession of news from that city mane 14 days later than our previous accounts. The Africa brings 91 passengers, and specie to the amount of .10,000/. sterling. The Africa arrived at New York on the lath ult., and took out the salistbetory intelligence of the safety of the American steamer Atlantic. The Baltic, after a run of 11 days 23 hours, arrived at New York on the 20th ; and the Cumbria, which sailed from Queenstown on the 4th, reached on the same day as the Baltic. Although the news in hand extends over a fort night, there is very little interesting therein. The President of the American republic had issued a message reprehensive of the conduct of parties who had rescued some slaves at Boston, and ordering their immediate arrest. The mob rushed into the court and took away the slave, who escaped, and is probably now in Canada. 809 persons had been arrested. Congress were busied in discussing a Postage 11111. No decision has, however, been come to. In the House of Representatives, on the 25th, the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation Bill was passed, contain ing an amendment imposing additional duties on all kinds of iron and various manufactures, and duties on artichs which are now imported free. It is doubtful if it will be sanctioned by the Senate. The Washington correspondent of the Nor lurk Courier and Inquirer says : As Mr. Marcolita, the minister from Nicaragua, hus been regularly presehted and received, the negotiation for a new convention will open as 1501111 114 Cinignsis closes. In tic meantime, the preliminaries will be settled. Indeed, I have OCCaSiUIt to know that eimkrences have already been held between Sir henry Bulwer and Mr. Webster, with a view of removing any subordinate difficulties that might be pre sented, RS likely to interfere with the proposed arrangement, and fur the purpose of harmonising the action of the two governments as as to render the terms of the treaty not only accepta ble, but well understood on all sides. A letter from Leon do Nicaragua, of January lei, says: Nothing of importance has transpired since I last wrote. Business has become quite dull, in consequence of the few arrivals from t'a'donna. The route has hitherto been beset by so many difficulties that it may be considered used up fur the season. It will open, by-and-by, under more favour able circumstances. It is reported that the National Con gress, now sitting in Chinendaga, has ordered the armies of San Salvador and Honduras to fall back hum the frontiers of Guatemala. San Salvador is still blockaded, and the island of Tigre has also been placed under blockade, to com mence this work. Nicaragua, t.o English consul says, will come next in order. The following is the answer of Nicaragua to a letter from Mr. Chatfield, mentioned in our last American news: LEON, Jan. 8. I have communicated to the supreme government the contents of your note of Deixunher o, in which you systema tically persevere in asserting the fictitious existence of the savage tribe; of the Mosquitos as au independent nation, independent nation, and proceed to lay down certain bound- ' arks, adding to this scandalous usurpation, iu accordance with your custom, a threat of actual force. The Senior Director of the State has ordered me to reply to your Excellency—as repeatedly has been done in this same affair—that Nicaragua never has recognised, nor ever will recognise, the existence of the said Mosquito kingdom, and still less the power and right arrogated by you of deter mining its boundaries. Against that assumption Nicaragua protests in the face of the whole world, as extremely offen sive to justice, tel well a s the dignity and sovereignty of the state; and it likewise protect; against all those acts which have hewn committed, which are still continued, in the ter ritory of Nicaragua, and agains its inhabitants, under the flimsy pretext of defending a tribe of savages, Nothing would occasion more pleasure to my government than to re-establish the friendly and important relations which it desires to cultivate with the respected government of Great Britain, and which have been disturbed by thu acts of the consulate here.-1 um your obedient servant, . SAusss. The Hudson river is navigable to Albany, and two of the largest class steamboats had arrived there without serious difficulty. It is not probable that it will be closed again before next winter. The anniversary of the birth of Washington was celebrated atjNeW York on Feb. 22, with great pomp. All the public buildings were adorned with flags, and a procession, composed of all the miliatia forces and the officers of the benevolent institutions, accom panied by the great majority of the population, perambulated the city. Mr. Foote delivered a eulo gistic oration upon Washington in the evening to an immense crowd. Mr. Thompson, M.P., had been ill received at Springfield, and had left the town precipitately. Mr. Thompson's anti-slavery agitation had brought upon him the strictures (anything but courteous) of Mr. Clay, who in the Senate, in reference to the slave rescue at Boston, said: Not only are these negroes made the catspaw of miserable and designing men, to bring odium on the laws and siolate ju-;ice and its officers, but there has been introduced a man named Thompson, who was said to be a mem ber of parliament, to disturb and agitate the people; and that police which could find time and the means to attend and protect this foreign emissary in his dis union addresses, could not give their aid to execute a law of the U.S. lie little supposed that any member of Con , greys would be tolerated a moment in England who would go to Birmingham and Manchester, and there de- nounce the law of primogeniture—the aristocracy and the crown itself. Such a wan would be justly denounced by I every loyal British subject, and he VI Lou I 1 be put out of the country; and here this Thompson is received with open arms, • encouraged, by men professing to be Americans, in preach ins sedition and disunion. Mr. Cass and other members, on the same occa sion, spoke of Mr. Thompson in terms ev e n l ess polite than did Mr. Clay—terms which we should he unwilling to reprint. On the other hand, in the House of Representatives, Mr. Giddings, of Ohio, asked leave ! tointroduccaresolution that thePresidentberequested I to inform this house, if compatible with the public' interests, whether Mr. Thompson, a subject of the • British crown, and also a member of the British par liament, has been recently grossly insulted in Spring ' field, and his personal liberty fiterally endangered, 1 by citizens of that state, in violation of our treaty stipulations with the British government. The second trial of General Henderson, at New Orleans, in relation to the invasion of Cuba, had ter minated, like the first, in the lion-agreement of the jury. Ocn. Quitman, having . resigned the governor ship of Mississippi, had repaired to New Orleans to await the decision of the court. CANADA. The only item of interest to be gleaned from the Canadian papers is the fact that the Official Gazette has announced that Mr. Killaly takes the Com missionership of the Public Works, that Mr. Duns comb goes to Quebec as Commissioner of Customs, and that Mr. R. S. M. Machette succeeds Mr. Duns ! comb. The appointment of the last-named gentle man, judging from the opinion expressed by the journals, would appear to be anything but bads factory. THE BRAZILS. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY, The ship Columbus arrived to-day with accounts from Pernambuco of the 6th of February. The royal mail steamer Teviot arrived at Pernambuco at 6 o'clock um. on the 2nd ult., in 23 days from riouthampton, and left the same day at noun for Bahia. The Teviot accounts had little influence on the markets. Cotton and sugar would pro bably decline a little. The latter article had 'been pur chased extensively previous to the receipt of the steamer a ' accounts. Cotton sold during the week ending February ' the Ist at 7,300 reis to 7,400 reis, but 7,600 teia had since been paid. Hides were freely offered at 127 reis. Freights had an upward tendency, vessels having become less plenti ful. Cotton to Liverpool was taken at Id. to id., and suitar to the United Kingdom Ws. to 60s. In exchange, kusiums to a large amount had been done ut 30d., and iu seine in stances 3011. had been given for ready cash.
