Wilma the British Government is content, as a measure of pesos and an example of forbearance, to continue, through Mr. DALLAS in London, diplomatic relations with the Government of the United States, it will, we believe, for the present at loser, abstain from appointing any saccersor to Mr. CRAMPTON St Washington. How long this abstinence may be practised will probably depend on domestic occur noon in the United States; and, however strong our desire may be to cultivate friendship and the most intimate relations with the people d the United States, there are, we should suppose, very few Englishmen who wish to see another representative of their Sovereign and her Government sent to the Court of Mr. President Prance, who has already shown how much he prefers the advancement of his political ambition to conciliating by a medente and temperate line of conduct the goodwill of England. When the forthcoming Presidential elec tion is fairly decided it will be time enough for the English Cabinet to think about having a Minister at Washington ; for success in that coated may be ex pected to sweeten the disposition of even the present PRESIDENT; while the choice of any other man in the Stain could hardly fail to be a great improve ment on the present state of things at Washington. _ _ Meanwhile, the British Government will, it is to be expected, at once put to the proof the docility of Mr. Secretary Maticr's avowed anxiety to come to a definite arrangement and final sett le ment of the Cen tral American disputes. For, although anxiety as to the possibility of a collision of the naval forest of the two countries before Oreytowa is for the present ' , removed by the prudent conduct of the Captain of the small British frigate Eurydice, in fulfilment of his inetr•eticns from the Admiralty, and by the wise determination of the American Government, in consequence of that prudence, not to despatch any nerd torte thither until the controversy is diplamati cally and conclusively settled, no one knows what a day may bring forth. The very adduce which the Eurydice is ordered by the Admiralty to give to freedom of transit through Greytowo, may be misconstrued by perverse pedant more anxious to increase than to allay local irritation; and any attack by the forces of Nicaragua—its rulers ars now released from hostilities with Costa Rica—on Gray town, cosy add to the complication of what is called, so far as England and the United States are con cerned, the Central American question, by bringing us into collision with General Waxen, whom we must now be prepared to see reoeiving direct assist anoe from the democratic party in the United Sate, and moral support from their Government. Hitherto, the English Cabinet bus most pro perly kept the question of Nicaragua quite distinct and separate from its disputes in Central America with the Washington Cabinet. It has indeed taken no part whatever in the disorders or the quarrels of Nicaragua. The cure spoodence u to the sale of fire-arms to Costaßica laid before Parliameut has, we suspect, been very much misunderstood. The truth is that the War Department has in store at present an unusual amount of old, and for British military purposes worthless, muskets. These it is desirous of getting rid of on the beet terms it can; bat so universal is improvement in firs-area, that the market for Broto• Be:. has become very limited. So when the late Mr. WALLISINTEN, Consul-General of Costa Rica, applied for palisades to purchase part of this old stook, it was too good an opportunity to be lost. The permission was accordingly granted, the arms were selected, and the terms on which they were to be furbished up agreed on. But as • commercial, not a political, treassotion ; for immediately an inten tion on the part of the British Government to support Costa Rica spinal Nicaragua was inferred from the contrast for sale, the whole thing fell to the ground, sad the muskets have, we bear, sines been sold to sierehants engaged In the African trade. The policy of our Government as to the internal polities of Central America is, we may fairly pre same, that foreshadowed in the temperate, judicious, and useful speech of Lord Joan Russn.z. on Mon day eveniog —non- interferon/a ia the most rigid setae of the word, sad a frank acceptance of any govern nut that may be formed, either in Nicaragua or in soy of the other States. And in this view we must say that the general interests of the world, so far as the local question is concerned, may be sabstentially advasesd by the complete sums= of General Wuxi; if he has only the wisdom not to precipi tate himself into • dispute about Greytows. Already his scores has bad at load one good effect—hostili tiss with Costa Bias have sassed ; sad it is more than probable that the superior force of W.u.xxs will impel Costa Ries to arrange its long-standing boundary dispute with Nicaragua. It is to be hoped he may, for the loom these desperate and 'encrusts.. 'eternal and intoned** quarrels rap in Central Amain the mom danger is than of other WAf KER. seeking in them a fortune inecesistut with their complete isdepeadenes asd with their material improvemost. It was to domestic' strife that Nicaragua owed the WALKER intervention, and similar mum will inuitaby produce similar effects Costa Rice. To come es speedily to terms with Frostiest Rivas and General WALKER as to hest dries is therefore as obviously sound policy ea the pert of Costa Rica, as it is for England sad the United Scates to lost as time in meta Mg directly those parts of their ustrourry which can be so arranged, sad in agreeing ea the terms of an arbitration and the person of se arbiter to which the points not siumeptible of such a solution can be lefr. Ws have never hesitated to express an opinion that so to the Bay Islands the United litotes Govern. sent has the best of the argument. Geographically the island tight to belong to the State of 11211. dune, which they adjoin, and not to the Belize BM. tleasent, boos which they are upwards of 200 miles distant. Historically they formed part of the Vice royalty M Guatemala. Notwithstanding, therefore, they had occasionally been treated as British territory by our West Indian governors and admirals, it was. it can hardly be denied, a very great mistake is Biz JOH* PAIINGTON, WWI COlOll6l Secretary, to snot them into a B r i t i s h colony. No doubt, soder the protection of that dander, British Bl bruits have pawn op that merit and mot receive cionsideration t het their compensation would be a mash better 'Antics of this difficulty than the Indefinite prolongation of a mistake which involves as in a oostroverey with the Uaited &Mee, sad de. prism as of all Hamm in the State of Hamden& There is morrow a very poetical sad sotlisisat room why we should, on a general arrangement of all other Central American questions, retire from the Bay Islands; and it is their position in reference to the contemplated inter.ocesoic canal. Should that great work ever be executed, the island of Rattan would command the Atlantic entrance to it; and as we are pledged to its strict neutrality, it would be wholly inconsistent with such an obligation to occupy a military position, whence our power over the At lantic entrance would be complete. In resigning, however, the Bay Islands, we ought to take ample guarantees against any cession of them by Honduras to the United States, and to place them under the safeguard of the Maritime States guaranteeing the neutrality of the CanaL The case of Greytown—the present Atlantic entrance to the transit across Riming= to the Pacific —is much more difficult than that of the Bay Islands. Assuredly not on account of any rights existing in the so-called King of Moecouna—the half-savage chief of the paltry tribe of Moons; but on account of the position of those European and other settlers who have been encouraged by the English Government to establish themselves in Oreytown. We are bound to take can that their independence and security are not impaired under any settlement of the question that may be resolved upon. But having provided for their interests, and obtained gua rantees for the rights of the Indian population, the sooner that we allow the Mosquitia' meat to revert to Nicaragua, Caste Rice, or New Orenada--whichever of thee; States can establish its title to the whole or part of the district—the better. There was a time when it wan open to England to claim Mosquitia, but that time Eogland has allowed to slip by. Nor does it appear to us that the omission is to be regretted.

(MOW OUR OWN COMISPONDINT.) PARIS, WZDNZSDAY EVINING. The Senate, as we learn by three lines in the Monitore, yesterday achieved its first act of opposi tion. It has actually thrown out a bill, and a very important bill. By a majority of 60 against 56, this body of salaried nominees has made a marvellous show of independence, and against the orders of the government which created and pays it, has put a veto upon the measure for imposing a tax upon horses and carriages used in Paris, which had been accepted by the Corps Legislatif. The event is so strange so altogether out of the bounds of like lihood, that ones know not how to treat of it. The provisions of the existing constitution, whether wise or otherwise, prevent the public from knowing any of the data upon which the reverend senators have arrived at this unwonted conclusion. Not only are reports of their debates forbidden, but the slightest conjectural hint of what may possibly have occurred would be severely punished if any French journal were to be so venturous as to give one. It may not be unimportant to mention that by the constitution the Senate can only re- Plot a law on one of these grounds either that it is unconstitutional, or contrary to religion or morals, to the liberty of worship, to individual liberty, to the (quality of citizeus in the eye of the law, to the inviolability of property, or to the prin ciple that judges are irremovable." It is difficult to See that the law now thrown eut could offend is any of thee* particulars. However, the constitution has omitted to provide machinery for reversing the judg ment of the Senate, and if the senators object to pay taxes for their carriages, nothing short of another coup deaf can make them. The name of the ex-member of the Constituent Assembly arrested at Vienna, who is designated in the journals by the initial 8., is M. Base There are various rumours of political arrests in Faris, but as the stories I have heard seem to me exaggerated, I do not repeat them. The government his decided to give provisional discharges to 95,000 troops belonging to the classes of 1860, 1861, 1832, and 1853, in anticipation of the expiration of the period of their service. A pre ference will be given to men who may be able to prove to the satisfaction of the military authorities that their presence will be useful to their families in the inundated districts; the other men to whom the privilege will be accorded are to be chosen by lot. M. de Persigny, who had come to Paris for the baptismal fetes, has left for London. The Bourse again opened heavily owing to several executions in connexion with the railway settlement. There was, however, an improvement in quotations afterwards, but business was far from brisk. The Route closed with a rise of 40c. for cash and sc. for •acoonnt at 71fr. 100., and 71fr. 16c. Credit Mobilier roes bfr. Railways were in an uncertain state, and closed rather lower than otherwise. The Pays thinks itself authorised in asserting that the news of an intended military occupation of Turkey by the Allies, which has been circulated by several journals, is wholly destitute of lean dation. The allied troops, it says, are hasten ing their departure and returning home en masse. The Pays also explains that the friendly interven tion of France, in the difference between Spain and Mexico, which we learn by telegraph, has been ac cepted by Spain, is not a " mediation " in the diplo matic sense of the word, but merely an offer of "good offices," which, it is hoped, may lead to a ter mination of the difficulty. A despatch, confirmatory of another received a day or two since, states posi thely that the mighty Emperor Soulouque is deposed at Hayti. I mention as a useful piece of information to Eng lish visitors who rosy desire to see the cathedral ot Notre Dame as it appeared on the occasion of the baptism of the Imperial Prince, that, owing to a very equitable arrangement, they may save themselves the loss of time and annoyance ot waiting in a crowd by taking tickets, which for a small payment to be dedicated to the sufferers by the inundations, will give them instant admission at the private door in the Rue du Cloitre. These tickets may be bad at the police office, Rue Chanoinesse, No.lo,and the mayor- alty of the ninth arrondissement. The cathedral will remain open to the public up to the 22nd inclu sive. On the 23rd no one will be admitted without a ticket, and it is announced that on Tuesday, the 24th, a grand musical solemnity, authorised by the Arch bishop of Paris, will take place at 12 o'clock, for the benefit of the sufferers by the inundations. Four hundred musicians, directed by M. Dietsoh, will execute a mass of M. Nicon.Choroo. It is not stated what the price of admission will be to this oratorio, which will doubtless be very attractive. All the announcements my is that the proceeds of the "collection, the chairs, and the places," will be handed over to the bishop. of those dioceses which have the most suffered by the floods. A new work, by M. Alexis de Tocqneville, called "L'Ancien Regime et la Revolution" is just out. The floods, which it Wei hoped were over, are re commencing in the Garonne. A despatch from Toulouse, dated June 16, 2.30 p.m., says that the waters were at a very great height, and that a considerable overflow wu expected. It appears that while during the Wes the weather was only threat ening in Paris, there was heavy rain in the south. It appears from the official report in this day's Monileer that in the sitting of the Senate on Tues day, the President of the Council of State read the preamble and text of a project of menet 01.consultnos, having for its object the organisation of the regency. The commissioners selected for maintaining the debate on this law were present, and the following were heard :—M. Bonjean ; the President Delangle, the president of the Council of State; President Barth., M. Megoe, and M. Tourangin. The Senate, by a majority of 60 votes against 38, declared itself opposed to the promulgation of the law. To the Legislative Corps, on the same day, a com munication wu made of a decree proroguing the session to the 2nd of July next inclusively. A project of law for opening to the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce a credit of 10 millions towards repairing the damages caused by the floods, was presented. THE REGENCY QUESTION IN FRANCE. A PLEA FOR THE EMPRESS. The Constiesaionnei of petards} , contains the fol. lowing article, signed by M. Amedee de Cessna: ON Till RIOINCY OP WOKEN. It is an old mains of our ocnintry that the throne must never be allowed to degenerate, to use an expremion of our ancestors, de hoof en qumossillit (from a lithos to a distaff). But at no period of our history did this fundamental prin. apt' of the monarchical institutions of Franco form any moon, either in the mind of the severeigo, the people, or the legislative bodies, why the mothers or wives of our kings should sot govern the nation timing the absence or mind rily of the menu* with plenitude of power and the tide of regent. he Root remote ommenirs of our mantel me, on the matrary, merreiste I by brilliant iizsmples, and glorious wares, with the regencies of women ; and although in the archives of the pot there may be nog I invariable law establishing nigh regemeiar with the ammo r of n per , seaseat lassitude's, and an absolute right, ausbem lea mactiosed them so frequently that they may be said to have all the legitimecy of a natioesi tradition going beak to the very cradle of monarchy in France. Thar, la the nos of Clovis itself are to be found female regent she, Oda. the esiserity of their sons, messed 'the State with that vigilant and devoted prlicitudo of a mother, which in royal, as in private famther, it is alike impossible for asy other affection to rapist,. This is the rase from which dates the ancient custom that ezeludes women from the threne of Frazee. But it neverth)less placed under the raftgusrd of 'sidereal tenderness the crown of those children of kings, who by r ght of hirth we! , called to the throne b. fl ire•they sera of an age to wit Id tlio sword of &soldier, and to hold the s aptre or e moi aech. Thus, in 655, Qui en amide occupied the regency, and guided the state with a firm end drt acted bend during the minority of the three sone, which eh. had gi ven to h er roya l husband Before her, in 57S eril 590, two other mothers of sovereigns in their cradle bad also lye n polythene of the crown for the legitimate her, of Clovis. And, moreover, these price sssss tiled in en age of v. sense end bertniriam, when it might have himn supposed that the hoed of a states man and the arm of a warrior were nen/seary protections against revolt and germination, and the man y perils by which as infent's throne was surround e d. But both policy and reeure were found agreed to prefer tae heart of a mother to the b yor es getersl or the ability of a minister. No guilty thought of usurpation could ever enter tee ' mind of a femele repeat, because the law of the teed ex ' eluded women from the throne of France. And it Wll6 in this fundamental principle of tee French monarchy that the kluge of the third rice, revin og tie example sit by the first, sought out tee rule of their policy in matters of regency. The more women were held to be incapable of rehening in their own name the more did it appear to there Kings that they were naturally called upon to govern the stain in the name of a minor, whose royal authority, however ambitious they might he, they could never hips to usurp. These priece justly sew in this tradi•ionel and legal incapacity, an addoicreel go , rantee for the teeerity of the kingdom, which regents apt and capable of r, 'going themselys. are too often t!roptad to plunge Into civil troubles in order to dispenses their wards. There was no fixed and positive rule on the subject; the will of the sovereign continutil to he the law of the monarchy. But the custom became establiseed Merin from the beginning of the third rats, to confide - be regency of the kingdom to the mothers or wives of minor or absent kings. The two greatest monarch. teat the first branch of that rice produced—Pbilip Augustus and Saint Louis-- were initiated in ti eir youth ia'o the etc rets of politics and the duties of government hv their mother.. During the mini rite of Pent', Augustus, Aliw de Chem yagne we. newt at France by virtue of tie will of her husband, Louis VII. And she a second time occupied that 'salted to,t on the nomination of her own rotsewhen he, the ancestor of St. Lostir,weot, to fight in Pale-tine, end Mann - rated the era of chivalry and the erased, a. The name of Alice de Champagne is hut little known ; our swills con tain bat obliterated souttners of the mother of Philip An truster. But it is far otherwise with elm venerated name of the illustrious widow of Louis VIII The regency of • Bleed= of Caatille shed actuating lustre upon France. Some centuries later the no less celebrated regency i f the widow of Louis XIII. Anne of Austria also re coped a large place in our history. Tbe one commenced the reign of St. Louis e the other the reign rf Louis XIV., sod this the glory wes reserved to two French witnesses, b ,th of Sp mist' °tiger, of tra clog the two greatest king., and preparing the two most splendid reifies of the third race. The firm and dignified government of Queen Bleach swats to have settled the &licit question of regencies its fact, if not in law, in favour of w men. The custom to confide the guardianship of the infant King and the govern. ment of the kingdom to the mother b came toe almost in• variable law of all the princes of the third race. Such was successively the will of Philippe le Bel, Centel , ' V., and Charles Vl.—a will =senesced by authentc ave. Louis XI. went even a step further in tee same airection. Ile Weltered to confide the geardianehip of his euccessor and the government of the eta= to his daugh•er, Anne of France, rather then to a evince of the bleed Francis I. was of age when Lee= XII. died. But the event of a minority had been provide" ter ; Louis XII. had by his will confided the regency to Anna of Brittany. Francis I. foliewed this maniple. During his absence from the kingdom he remitted tne goerroment, with the meat &beeline powers, into the hands of his methi r, Lune of Savoy. Some yearn later two Florentine prircessee, Ca therine and Marie de Medici., were este 'steely Regents of Franco during the minorities of their sins. Afterwards came Anne of Austria. Siece her time there hes been but one regency in Fro ce. That regime, was not confided to a woman; that regency did ro• rear =title upon the beset of • mother c r the affection of a wife; it woe @welted by a first prince of the bl nod—ir was the regency of the Doke of Orleans during the minority of Louis XV. The truce, left in history by that regency nee wi ll known. Aiseredly it is not slice an ex.mple nor fl cb a souvenir that can hied us to prefer tee ri geney of • man to that cf a woman. Doubtless the regencies of some women have been full of perils and intrigues; they have often been tried by suffering. and costs:view. But may it not have been that their faithful guardianship of tee legitimacy of the throne sod the authority of the King provoked hatreds and raised at: ob•titeles in their path Whatever eriWon may be entertained of Catherine de Medici., does any one suppers that the person of her son would hare been in greater security in the bands cf the Duke de Guise, or that the House of Lerraies would have defended the dime of the Valois better than the widow of Henry II? Foot the obrcure Alics de Champagne down is the fllustrieus Anne of Atntria, all the female regents of Francs, mothers of infant kings. hies met with adveiseries, either in the treat men of the kingdom, or the princca of the blood. Is not this hostility the moot eloquent grimmest that ran be used in favour of the regency of women? When we ace that in the eyes of the great men of the realm, and of princes of the blocie, power hes such attractiona that they will resort to rebellion in elder t get poesessien of it, who shall say that if, during the minority of their soy. reign, they bad peaceably held the reins of etre, they wouli not hare beet weaved by an irresistihle ambition to keep them in their own hands, ia contempt of all their duties a. guardiso, and in derogation of all the rights of their ward? Permanent leas are but thy outward end visible manifesta ifons et just epinione. It is in nature herself that the first K age of France found the reasons which prompted them to confide the gusrdiansbip of the sacred interests of their children to the saacisy and love of the mother. Who better than she, sedate under the inspiration o' a devoted ness proof against every trial, will be vigil.nt •0 defied these interers which she regards as her own ? Who better than she, enlightened by her bent, and guided by her tendeenese. can labour to avert every dagger from the throne of her child, studying at the same Lima to p fir him ten integrity of hie power and .ffection of hie people ? Custom alone, lode. d, established the principle in the ancieat monarchy, that charier the minority of the sovereign the government belongs t a the mother. But if, during long centuries, marked by no minty changes, and so many strug gle sells: custom has preserved throughout all the force of national law, it is because it is justified by the highest 444. sideratione of state.

WARSAW, Jrsa The kingdom of Poland has auffered a vvero los by the death of one of her ablest eta'esmen, 'ratios Turkull, who expired here yesterday, after • short illness. Up to the time of his death he filled the most important and responsible offices in the state, being Privy Councillor, Minister, and Secretary of IState for the kingdom of Poland ; besides which, he was member of the Council of Sate and of the Com mittee of Ministers at Sr. Petersburg. Turkull was born in 1798, in the Voirodesbeft of Kulioch, and studied at the universities of Lemberg and Vienna. In the year 1818 he entered the civil service in one of the public offices at Warsaw, where he soon distinguished himself by hie extraordinary seal and application to business, brilliant tektite, and devoted patriotism, which were duly appreciatod.sod opened the door for his rapid promotion to the bigh ted honours of office. The Emperor Nicholas, with that discrimination of talent which so eminently cha racterised him, selected 'furkull as sircessor in office to the late minister for the affairs of Poland. the cele brated Count Stephen Orshowsky. In accompanyi4 the present Emperor on his late visit to its Foil capital, Turkull was taken ill on the road, and obliged to remsln behind for a few days, when the Em p eror s' body-physician, Dr. Solkowsky, .unneeded tositoe lag him sufficiently to be able to proceed to Warsaw, to revisit which city was the great wish of his heart. A few days after his arrival here, he relapsed. and his illness assumed the fatal form of typhus, t 4 which malady he succumbed. His last public act II
