IT has been found impossible to shut out from India one large and influential profes . _ . sion—that of free teachers of religious troth. Missionaries proceed there in numbers, and in mature age, with aims, ideas, and duties, that never have been trained, clipped, or confined by the shears of Leadenhall-street. They go amongst the natives, preach to them, and write home, without fear of high authorities, a grievous account of abuse, of grievance, and of wrong. The Missionaries do their duty, sad proclaim truth; but the religious view of a people and of a social state is necessarily one sided. Suppose England visited by a body of foreign Missionaries, and we may conceive what would be their report. Should we not prefer having this country visited at the same time by men of the world —economists, politician's, commercial men ? Not only would more maul truth be collected for foreign iatermation, but more would also be elicited fur home ow la the same way wo should strongly recom mend East India Directors, in their on o defence, sad for their own aims, to send out mature English Lawyers and lodges, and to open Julia for inde pendent /dogfish traders.

Mr. MsnoLna made a singular declaration, when - be seated his belief that India had been subjected to ia order that its people might be converted 11.fthamity. This is sew doctrine from the India Iblewls white was so bag the great obstacle to Messy aorta in India. For our part, we fear faeß tae dill obstacle to Englishmen converting Illbilmais precisely the fact of England's being U. country, and hence suspected of . - baring political and interested alum in preaching Christianity to its races. Conquerors may impose a religion by the sword, but the language of per suasion in their mouths has never been listened to by the conquered people. Mr. MANGLES knows very well that India was . . . subjected to England for far other &au religions' pennon's, and that it is governed on far other prin. ciples. India is a farm, olwhich the millions of serfs have been crushed and &word and worked for the benefit of some few thousand' of Englishmen. And Mr. M tIiCaLLS, when he talks of the conversion of the natives being achieved by the course of things, the ?dissioneries themselves not too much interfering, is merely dealing " soft eawder" to a popular interest. If the Hindoos are to be converted, it will be by co- dewing them with a portion of English ideas and English feelings on common subjects. And these may induce a belief in Christianity. But }Undoes will never be converted by shutting them up, or con fining them to mere official contact with the Anglo- Indiana. We do not know what Mr. MANGLES wu aiming at when he represented the Bengtles° to have the timidity of monkeys. Are the Bears!Esc of a differ-' cot race from other Hindoo tribes, some of them of notorious fierceness? Or is the air of the Ganges more unfavourable to manhood than that of many hotter and lower regions south of it ? No. The de gradation of a race into cowards, like the Bengalese, is the effect neither of birth nor clime, but of ad ministrative and social oppression. We could point out races in Europe as degraded as the Bengalese, and from the self-same cause. The timidity or depression of a rue in no excuse for not seeking to raise them to independent and manly feeling, which can always be done by a certain degree of freedom and a deliverance from inch a state of oppression as that which weighs on the people of Bengal. The Missionaries deserve well of their cloth and country for having signalised their dire oppression; and we recommend them to insist and persist, and be in nowise tricked or laid asleep by the Tartuffes of Leadenhall•atrect. These men say now, when it suits their purpose, that India was given them in order to its being einistianised. But they will not stir a foot towards any sigh result. Christianity is civilisation; Cksintianity, where it is worth anything, is freedom. Ana India will never progress to either, as long as it twain the old, retrograde, rotten borough that Amid traditions would make it. . 'WO are glad to learn that a loogreengaiheill aggempereey, well-known toe the devotion it has blame shows to the sham of decayed opiaicas 4U lbenglelogieeleneeenellionMen of makiad, has been 411Inikp adopted ea the doily organ of the Con entreadve Party. Mar*, as we do from smarty all sentiments mimed in tame pest by Att jelling alluded to, we have never failed ar recognise and respect its consistent adherence to the unavailing. And differing as we feu 'we shatareeii . . most of the theories and maxima of &ate likely be propounded by its new dittetabb we set 'di feciedly rejoiced to find that so,numerically Od tar: ritorially important a median of 'the community at those wbo still call themselves Tories should at length have found a medium for the diurnal notation of their sayings and doings—a record witarenato we may refer henceforth for each chi valrous effort to make the sun of progress stand still in the political valley of Ajilon. So long a time has now elapsed since the friends of reaction had the pleasure of feeling that they had a daily organ of character and circulation in their hands, that we cannot be surprised at their being a little elated at the event. It is, indeed, a circum stance worthy of celebration in bumpers of mous mulct r and as the festivities at a launch have been not inaptly termed the ship's farewell to safety, so we should feel disposed to dwell with pensive sym pathy on the echoes of the "long-continued cheers" _ . which doubtless mug throughout the halls of the Carlton at the announcement of the interesting fact we have recited. True it is the fortunate barque has not been actually built for this special service, and that, al though she now is to appear clipper-rigged, the old fashioned lines on which she was originally con structed may still be recognised in her tendency to settle down in the water, and in rough weather to roll heavily. But in the prevent period of calm, when even the sarcastic and ambitious DismAw looks u placid as a pond, when Lord DEUS,' thinks it safe to leave Lord MALMESBURT in charge during his frequent Ills of absence from the Lords, our old contemporary, when re-painted, re-gilt, and put into thorough repair, may, and we hope will, glide easily and pleasantly over the glassy sea. It will perhaps be time enough some twelvemonth hence to look into the bill of lading, or to inquire of what items it is composed. For the present the duty of a Tory organ is little beyond that of a cruiser, occasionally seeming to make sail, then suddenly laying to, or closely awl/ the official shore. Vessels so employed maim carry many pins, and still more rarely any gesillaviurth mentioning. All they require is a trifle ',ballast, a steady captain, and an orderly crew, not given to put off in boats without orders on rash ven tures or speculations of their own. How far the Member for Bucks will find this to be a correct de scription of his ship's company we venture not to inquire. The day must come, however—and possibly it may not be quite so distant as the mere jobbers in party politics imagine—when both the great hereditary factions whom' arms are for the present piled together upon neutral ground, and whose once distinctive colours mingle now in temporising truce, will find themselves once more impelled to conflict, and hurried into a renewal of their old collision ; whenever that day comes ; the season of evasion and of equivoque will have pulsed away. Men will not rally to a doubt ful call, or assemble to fight round a standard they have never seen unfurled before. Long ere then it must be the policy of the more sagacious leaders of the Conservative party to accustom their followers to some intelligible war cry, and to make their ears familiar with some clear and unmistakeable sound. What is that sound to be? What are the principles of which the Herald is to give warning ? Apart from all antecedents and recollections, and supposing the who!' page of future politics to be tabula rase—what ars to be the articles of Tory faith es taught from the morning pulpit, to celebrate whose dedication to the service of the party nearly 200 Peers and Commoners assembled in festive solemnity on Saturday Is the tint of the newly embroidered uniform to be deep purple or pale? Is the daily ritual of party to be evangelically read, at eapitalarly snag Are High Church notions or Low Ohara doctrines to be declared orthodox ? Or what is to be the tone adopted on the long series of quaii-political, quasi-polemical ques tions, which, since the origin of what are called constitutional parties in this country, have incessantly divided them one from the other? Will the organ of the Carlton advocate the maintenance of .Maynooth, or its abandonment by the State to the Propaganda? Will our contemporary advocate the Patristic theory of marriage for which Lords Denny and RRDESDAIR contended, in concert with the Duke of NORFOLK and their half-way-to•ltoman lordships the Bishops of SALISBCRT and ORFORD ? Or will it espouse the Protestant principle of mar riage, and incite the Commons to preserve the Divorce Bill against the subtleties and sophisms that will be tried on anew during its passage through the Lower House? What line will the morning warder of Conservatism take on the question of Church Rates—what upon the question of Jewish eintkilities--what upon the still wider and more im portant one of primary education ? It may be all tin will for a Bishop who can shut himself up in spbsopal dignity and smile superciliously out of his palace windows at popular discontent— it may be all very well for him to compromise the great candle question, or to compound for erucifixeson the altar by crucifixes everywhere else. But the necessities of a journal are not to be satis fied with medium words, and interminable quallilue times, and balancing. between opposite opinions. To win anything like a general hearing, and to win anything like a real hold over the thoughts sal memories of men, a preacher, whether he press from behind a cushion or from behind a printing press, must be straightforward, plain, intelligible, not to be confounded with men of different or hostile sentiments. Between the two theories and practi cal bearing' of what is termed High and Low Church there is the utmost and noist unconquerable repug nance: the philosophic litarateurs of the Carlton Club may laugh at their internecine hate; but the antagonism is a reality, a fact, a passionate im pulse, and no sham. We shall be curious to see which side of the controversy the newly constituted organ will espouse. We regret to learn the Hon. Mrs. Dawson Darner, 'Mow of Captain the Hon.

When the cho risters returned to the orchestra, they were differently arranged. Hitherto they had been placed, in the ordinary way, in four divisions; the sopranos and altos at the two sides, and the tenors and basses in the middle. But, as the rest of the rehearsal was to consist of the double choruses from Israel in Egypt, the singers were formed into two antiphonal choirs, divided into eight (instead of four) vocal masses. Those stupendous compositions tried the powers of the choral band more than anything that had gone before. But still the effect wan satisfactory. With• out enumerating all these choruses, we may say that the most remarkable among them—" He spake the word," "He gave them hailstone, " Ile sent • thick darkness," " lie rebuked the Red Sea," and the grand conclusion, " The Lurd shall reign for ever and eves"—were sung with wonderful clearness and indescribable effect. me solo passage, entirely unaccompanied, "Sing unto the Lord, for he bath triumphed gloriously , ' was a triumphant effort of vocal power on the part of Clara Novelle which we do not believe another singer in England could have achieved. The rehearsal terminated with Costa's magnificent arrangement of " Gud save the Queen." The rehearsal ended about three o'clock. The apace occupied by the orchestra alone at the Crystal Palace is an am of 108 feet wide by 110 feet deep, an extent exceeding the entire capacity of any other music-hall in this country. The orchestra, in the form of a curve, rises from the floor at a front elevation of 8 feet, sod is then car ried, in a series of semi-circular steps, varying from 10 to 15 inches each, to a total height of 47 feet. Those rises are 34 in number, of which 11 are appro priated to the band, and 23 to the chorus. Ample room has been given to the performers. The violins have 13 square feet, and the double basses and violoncellos 24 square feet for each desk. The cho risters are all seated on raised benches ; each person having 21 inches in width by 30 inches in depth. The organ, the greatest and most powerful ever con structed, stands in the usual position at the back of the orchestra, the rows of choristers on each side rising to the level of its summit. The in strumental band consists of 130 first and second 60 violas, 100 violoncellos and double basses (equal numbers of cub), K flutes, 8 oboes, 8 clarinets,. 8 bassoons, 12 horns, 6 trumpets, 6 cor nets, 3 ophicleides, 8 serpents, 9 trombones, 2 pairs of kettle-drums, 1 large long-drum, and 8 side (or military) drams—in all 385 performers, arranged at 202 desks. The chorus, originally intended to con sist of 2,000 voices, slightly exceeds that number; so that taking into account the chorus, the instru mental performers, and the principal solo-singers, this tuneful host is fully two thousandjfre hundred strong. The immense drum made by 6lr. Itistin for the festival, standing in the centre, between the organ and the band, is a conspicuous object. It is between six and seven feet in diameter; and when gently struck produces a rich and beautiful musical tone, resembling a deep pedal-pipe of an organ. When struck with force, its sound is like the report of a cannon. Such au instrument requires to be used with the utmost discretion. At the close et the probationary performance Mr. Costa mamma the superintendent. of the maims London end peoviadal tussle of the ahem; with whom it yes armpit that the soprano. and shoe should Amp Omen yMh the nem and bonne la the orchestra.

We need scarcely state that the performances come of to-day, Wednesday, and Friday, sad that the oratorios se lected ate the )(arida, !ago Mama& our sod broil in Nyypt. After Joist Morahan on Wednesday it is in tended that the " Old Ilundreth halo."—which made so profound an itapremion at the inauguration of the Crystal Poises in 1854—absU be sung. One verse will be gives in anima by the whole of the 2,000 voices. Ths !bimetal suma of the Handel Festival is, we have good reason to believe, placed beyond a question. By agree ment with the Crystal Palace Company the committee of the Sacred Romanic Society bound themselves not to ex ceed a stated outlay, and the !Mite proposed and adoptd have not been transgressed. Previous to the rehearsal on Saturday it va. calculated that a profit of between 3,0001. earl 4,0001. over and above expemes had already been milked ; and, ea on such creations a huge number of per sons invariably defer securing place. until the eleventh boor, a tuatesial additka may reasonably be counted on. It it as well to suggest, for the benefit of the public, that, although ticket. for the performances may be obtained, as usual, at the eatranee of the, Crystal Palace, it will Pare both time sad trouble to apply for them in advance, either at the cen tral office, in Easter Hell, or et the breach oaten 70, Lont bard-street, both of which are open at eight a.m.. . _ The nuerlets of pavans who .- have come to London on purpose to attend the Handel Penfield will doubtless exer cise a beneficial infinemee eloewhere. Not to name the Opera and other theatres, ws may point to places which it is more edifying to see crowded. Westmiester Abbey, for ex ample, was filled to overflowing yesterday moaning by an attentive sod devout congregation, connoting In • large aoswe of provincials. Dinners will be provided on each day for 6,000 people. In the intervals between the parts of the oratorios, a &deal ment of welters will sally forth, bearing trays filled with small bottles of sherry, each having a small glass tumbler un the top, sad followed by szt attendant genius with packets of bis cuits or Crystal Palace too cakes. The wanta of about 2,000 persons will be thus provided for. Chas on the heels of " Shiny, sir," will follow another detachment with glasses of ice ; there tiresome thousands of these—an iceberg or frozen avalanche must surely have wandered to Sydenham I The long succession of trays of ice have been snpplied from reaervoirs, each containing several hundreds of them glasses filled with the freezing luxury. Over and around them are peeked large quantities of rough ire, and, so • consequence, glance and their contents are of the same temperature, and this rooting refreshment is not served in that semi-Auld condition which too frequently makes one be hove in the existence of such a thing 11s warm ice Three thousand more of the vast audience arc thus supplied with crakes and ices. A spectacle more curious than that of 6,000 elsgantly-dnesed ladies end gentlemen sipping sherry and eating teem has seldom been presented to the public. It is worth half that peke of ea admission ticket to look on from the oreheetes at this tremendous feeding operation. A thou. sand or more perm= may be supplied with pale ale on draught through lee, near the angles of the transept, All , the resource* are not yet exhausted—the teetotaller and eco nomical are told that gleans of iced water and tumblers of foe, and carafes of that beverage which cools but not inebriates—eau frappe—are supplied at the most annierste cost. We may just bite to the visitors the greet adoentage which it will be, and the greet km of time It will avert, if they will supply themselves with the necemery mull change, Id eat, la. 64. he the ems& bottled dewy, 6d. for the packet of biscuits er flee sakes, bd. he the kr, dd. for the pint of ale, 6d. for the ears& at ass hsppi, end a eopper penny for o glass el iced wear.

TO-DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. A pleaaanter morning for the opening of the festival could not have been desired. While the sun is height end the sky almost clondkre, a cool Idame from the eolith-east moderates the temperature, and relieves the visitor from the many unplesaentnessee peeuv liar to a hot summer's day. The taloa began to run from the London-bridge station ea early ea eight o'clock, end even at that hour were well freighted. As the morning advanced the crowds increased, reaching a citrons at stout eleven. From that time down to the last train before the commencement of the performances the numbers gradually decreased. no 1111111, however, was quite full, and a good deal of excitement was occasioned by the general anxiety to obtain seta. The visitors, mut would be expected, ware M tha higher ranks of ariiety, disdain the comparatively plebeian vehicle—the caband the rushing to and fro of those metal conveyances gave a bewildering aspect to the vicinity of the railway station. The Crystal Palace line, of course, comes in fur the greater share of the profit of the traffic ; but the conveyances which have boon put on the road have been liberally patronised. Of ;did not comma also many have put in requisition their private car riage', and have driven in from the various suburbs. So much has thia been the sae, that the mute at one period of the morning minowhat resembled the Clapham rood on the Derby day, minuet however, those eccentricities Ear which that great toceaato • ti:bas ever been famous: The securskii trains which are running from the north appear to be a gamma ; and they certainly contribute in a very noticeable manner to the assemblage at Sydenham. The complete triumph of the rehearsals on Saturday has afro removed the doubts which might have prevented some from undergoing the fatigue of the journey, and the desire now felt to participate in the festival la greater than ever. The praise which we bestowed upon the railway arrange ments of Saturday is equally deserved to-day. There was no confusion that need alarm the most timid, and it is to be hoped that the same order sill be observed throughout the week. Mr. Costa's imperil* fortes were at tho Palace very early, and the systematic manner in which they took up their positions in the colossal amphitheatre was one of the topics of convereatica before the oratorio begnO. Everyone seemed to know Moor her place, and the half-dozen attend.nta were amply sufficient to prevent any mistake. As on Satur day, Mr. COtitiell appearance was the signal for an outburst of applanac, and the clapping of hands, from the orchestra, produced a most singular effect. The Arrsoiah, the oratorio of the day, was listened to with the deepest admiration, and fastidious critics acknowledged that the blemishes which they could detect on Saturday were to -day but insignificant. The fountains will play this afternoon at the conclusion of the performance. TILE ROYAL. VISIT. Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert have intimated their intention of being present at the performance of Judas Massa beus on Wednesday next. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (PROM OCR OWN COI PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. There is but little electoral news to-day. The democratic journals enter into long explanations about the split in the opposition committee, but they are neither clear nor interesting. Some of these papers speak in a conciliatory tone, as if they had not yet renounced all hope of agreeing upon a single list, but the Prase pronounces more strongly than ever against the old and " exclusive " party of the National. It says :—" We detest hypocrisy, and we will not be dupes. We gained some credit by fighting the National while it lived, and we will not be frightened by its ghost." General Cavaignac is proposed in one of the circumscriptions of the department of the Menrthe. Candidates are starting up in all directions in the provinces. The Sieck affirms that so great is the movement in public opinion within the last few days, that men who at first were loudest in favour of abstention are now themselves candidates. Yesterday a commissary of police went into all the principal factories of Batignolles and asked the workmen whether they intended to vote or not. I do not know bow this functionary was received generally, but in one atelier he wu told by about forty men that they did not mean to vote. The Emperor and Empress came from St. Cloud last night to see Dalila at the Theatre Vaudeville, and returned after the performance. . . . The Presser says, in its weekly commercial review : Businese is extremely calm, as might have been 'alerted from the diminution in the amount of bills discounted by the bank. The purchases now made in Pa.ris by travelling agents are altogether insignificant. A revival, however, is looked for preparatory to Beaucaire fair, which is expected to bo very brilliant. The country shopkeepers, who habitually supply themselves there, will be encouraged to buy largely by the facility which they bare lately found is disposing of their goods. The farmers and peasantry, who sell their produce at high prime, find themselves in a position to increase their expenditure. At Roma and Mid ' house purchases of Inoue& are beginning to be made for Beaticaire fair, notwithstanding the high price of raw material.. home important ord;rs have asobeen given at Lyon., in consequence of a reaction following the rise la alk.. The American. hare abandoned their reserved atti tude, and are now buying both in Lyons and Pori; but the good. they buy will be shipped so so not to arrive in the United States till after July 1, in order to • ' ' get the benefit of the new tariff, which will then some into operation. It is not thought, however, that the movement will be very marked until next month. It is much to be desired that before that time the bank should reduce its rate of discount. The appearance of the corn and wine harvest continues to be magnificent. The price of wine casks has doubled. News from the silk districts is very ecntradictory, but it is certain that the exaggerated accounts of the failure of the crops have been circulated pro bably with a view of serving speculation in Chinese silks. Ili the Ardi , ehe end the Promo the crop, without being very abundant, will be better than last year. The definitive results cannot be known before the first week in July. PARIS, SATURDAY EVENING. The Patric exults greatly at what it calls the "fusion and confusion " of the opposition. The following is from the D4hals : An evening journal announces that AL B. Laboulaye can not be deputy to the Legislative Corps become ho it a public functionary—namOy, professor in the College of France. This assertion is calculated to mislead the electors. These have certainly the right to choose M. Laboulsye as well as any other candidate; bat if M. Labonlaye were elected, the question would be whether his fanctions of deputy would be oompatible with three of profemor. We are requested by M. laboulaye to declare in hie name that it the rotors of the first district do him the honour of electing him he will boors their minim, and, should it be neemsery, will choose in favour of the functions of deputy. The Patric eontains the following unfavourable comments on the eandidatcship of Gen. Cavaignac: With the Medi, we entertain great respect for the name of Onaetral Cavergame, and wehetievatlutt hie seniors in the day, of June smut to him en honottrable place in Wean. Ibis is why we regret to ore him ono, more lend Wawa( to a fictitious election, which will doubtless terminate, in the event of encoesa, bye refund to take the oath. Two cowe r-Wive refunds would be scarcely worthy of the general. We hope that the electors will confine him to one reflood, which to already too mach for his dignity. Among the recent instances of too much real dis played by officials in the provinces, the most pro minent are a threat launched by the Mayor of Mont 'tidier, near Amiens, to shut up every wine shop the landlord of which does not support M. Delamarre, of the Patric, and a circular of the Prefect of the Mew, laying down the broad general proposition that all opposition is en "anachronism," and that to elect an opposition candidate would simply be to deprive the electors of any real representation. The Memorial tk Lulls save that General Cavaignac will be brought forward at 1)ooai as well as at Paris. There has been a great rise at the Bourse. The opinion generally expressed by the Paris journals, that the Bank returns are very satisfactory, pro duced an effect on the public mind, and led to large purchases. The Reote rose 60c. for cash and 65 for account, closing at 69 and 69.20. Mobilier rose 37.60. The Orleans Railway rose 16 ; Lyons, 17.60; Njediterranean, 30 ; Eastern, 10; Western, 11.23 ; Southern, 15 ; and Northern, M. ARRIVAL OP THE ARCHDUKE OP AUSTRIA. PORTSMOUTH, Jule H.

CLOSE OF THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION, AND T.ETTER FROM THE KING. The Belgian Moniteur of yesterday (Sunday) publishes a report .to the King, signed by the mi. maters, in which the opinion is expressed that, in the present excited state of the public mind, par. liarnentary di.cussion upon the law relative to cha. ritable institutions would be a source of embarrass. went to the country. They therefore suggest th e closing of the legislative session, and eonsequently the adjournment of the subject until the next session. The ministers proceed to record the motives by which they were guided in the introduction of the lett, and to defend it front the charge of rex. tionary tendencies. The report is followed by a royal decree, as. flouncing the close of the Legislative Stltaioll of 1836-7. The same copy of the Moniteitr contains the fol- lowing letter from the King to the Minister of the Interior : June 13, 1857. My dear Minister,—l have received the report of the cabinet dated yesterday, and 1 beaten to give it my approval. In propoeing the adjournment of discussion, you take an initiative indicated by the circumstances, and one which the country will understand. I profit by this occasion to addrees through you soma words to the country which has given mo ao many proofs of its attachment. A long and animated discussion, followed by incidents which I deplore, has taken plane in the Chamber dr Itepresentativrs upon a project of law presented by you. For the first time in the course of the twenty-sin years which I have devoted to Belgium, the pare liamentary debates have given tier to difficulties of which the solution has not been immediately revealed. You have acted with the greatest loyalty and the most entire good Pith. You are firmly persuaded that the project of law par tied into effect would not produce the grievous consequences expected of it. I will not pass judgment upon the pro ject; I would never have consented to give a place in your legielatn to • law that could have produced the fatal results which are feared ; but, without entering into en exambut. tion of the law in itself, I take into account, as you do, an impression which has been produced upon • consider able section of the people. There are in the countries which oc cupy themselves with their own progress theme rapid, con tagious emotions propagated with an interiority easier to be stated than captained, and with which it is wiser to make terms than to remelt. The free institution. of Belgium hate been In operation for twenty-sin years with admirable regularity. What im required that they should continue to act in the future with the mime order and sumer Y It ie necessary, Ido not heel tato to any, that there should exist amongst all parties isralkii . ;nad remove. I bdievo that we ought to ;betels from agitating SD7 question that eau kindlowar in mann minds. lam convinced that Belgium may live happy sad reapseted, by following the paths of moderation ; but I am alas convinced—and I say it publicly—that any mta- * which ran ba interireted a tending to fix the supremacy of one opinion over another, that such •Maaatsw ia a danger. Liberty is not wanting tons, and our constitn. tion 'chicly and moderately carried out prevents a ham eqwlibriuns. My sincere and profound attachment to the destinies of the country has given birth to these grace reflection'. communkato them to the ooentry, to you, to the majority of the national representatives. In the actual drew:rudeness • the majority of the chamber, whose wishee, as the majority. are and ought to be my guide, has a noble position to taks j • position worthy of a great party. I givo them the ad** to renounce, as you propose to them, the ccatinnation of tits discussion upon the law. It is to the majority that it belongs to fill this generous rOfc. In accepting it entire, it will give the world a high idea of its wisdom and patriotism. It will preserve in its ranks the strict union which, with all partite. is the first fruit and the first recompense of a good and noble action performed in common. Last pose the country thanked me for my devotion; thank it to-day for its confidence. This letter will show you how happy I am to find myself In agreement with you, and how much I approve of yore conduct. My desire is to continue with you and your col. leagues to watch over the inttresta of this beautiful and be loved country. . . . . - Pray believe, my dear minister, in the affectionate waft• writs which I offer you. _ THE UNITED STATES.
