TUESDAY, Tire last Presidential Message of F2A3111.1N Plasm has little political significance as regards the past, and lees as regards the future. It's simply an attempt to " bring down the valorise • by an indif ferent actor on leaving the stage for the last time. He has been turned out of office (for to serve only a shish term is with America* President' the mow ties, not the rule) by his own political party. He has no power, and is not even an exponent of any section of public opinion. It would be sheer waste of time to moment on hie opinioas or his policy. The next fon years of the North American Republic will be a stirring epoch, pregnant with important results. We must fix our attention on the real sad practical, and not waste it in auricles metaphysical dissections of political nonentities. As regards America, the most important inquiry that can be at present instituted regards the drift and pressure of public opinion. One instructive Indi cation of its tendency is found in the first two num bers of a weekly newspaper, issued in the United States since the Presidential election—and pro bably in consequence of it—which now lie upon our table. It is called The European : and it en= to be intended chi+ for the service of native Europeans resident in the States. Its object appears to be to give a complete and enlightening view of American affairs, such as is daily needed by that large immi grant portion of the population which has not been brought up, like the native American portion, in familiarity with parties and their names, and with the political history of the States for the last eighty years. Such a paper may, if well conducted, become as useful to Europeans on this side the Atlantic as the other; and, seeing the diffi culty to most people in England of understanding American newspapers, with their party limper and neeseenily obscure Cluing, we mast hope that The Bercpeas will be well managed and attain 'vigorous life. We mention its advent chiefly on account of the contents of its first numbers. A very large pro portion of its space is occupied with the topic which is rapidly becoming the prominent ens throughout the Union—the proposed restoration of the Afriesa slave trade. At the first mention of this abject ear readers may he apt to excising, "U! that tiresome subject! We know all about that. We were tired of it a quarter of a century ego ;* but a very little experience will show that the topic has beam* wholly new, and certainly far noes important to the welfare of the world than it ever was before. We will undertake to promise our readers that they shall not be *filleted by any revival of old appeals, descriptions, arguments, and emotions. Nobody has wants convineier or persuading about the cruelty aid impolicy of negro slivery. But it is of the utmost aocisequeoce to every Englishman to kaow whether the United States ars likely to remain nominally. and become really, • democratic republic, or to assume the reality and form of a despotism; or whether the two forms of government are to attempt a separate existence side by side. It is of incalculable importance to Europeans of all nationalities, and especially to Britons, to know what are the preemie of labour and capital in the United States—questiose which bear the closest relation to oar emigration and ear commerce. It is of vast importance to on, se ow of the two or three free coontrise in the world, to kaow what the alliances of the United States are likely to be; and especially low much truth there is in the spreading persuasion that the most conspiemees and significant and isfiesstial alliance in the med— dler that of England and Fraaoe—will be that of the United States and Russia, immediately on the issue of the existing sectional strife becoming known. The form under which all these considerstioss are at this moment comprehended is the question of the revival of the Airless slave trade. We will just show how and why this is, is preparation for the frequent notices of the subject which we foresee that every newspaper on both sides of the Atlantis will have to present to their readers. Everybody bri some fault to find with the °audi tions of his being. Every one of us believes that it would have been better for him if this or that air- 1 eumstance had been different at, or before, or after his birth. Thus, the Slave States, proud of domi neering, but very poor, lament their miehrtane in WABIIINGTON and Faarinus, and the other founders of the coostitutioe, having been opposed to slavery. If they had regarded slavery with any favour, oe with any expectation that it would endure, they would have left all the public leads open to it; and then the necessity of more slaves' would have been felt. The foreign slave trade would never have been stopped; laborer would have been cheap (here No t h e main fallacy); slavery would not have been abolished is the Northern Slats.; there would have been no ins migration of whites, but the labour market would bare been supplied from Africa; and to this, some add, with a sigh for what they have lost, that the vulgarity of republicanism would have died o u t long ago, and a military despotism or oli garchical government would have been by this time wall confirmed. It fell out otherwise, howern and not from any singularity in the views of the leading statesmen, but because slavery was disliked and despised, and believed to be near its end. None disliked it more than the people of Virginia, be it observed. In 1798 WASHINGTON wrote to Sir JOHN illscula that the antialavery laws of Pennsylvania emehl not be long delayed in Maryland and Virginia. nesiglisat the South. Georgia and South Quoins min the cooly States which desired to retain slavery Obi the readers of OLMSTED'S account of the latter tossed act be reminded how very far from republican wimp ib principles and aspirations when it became a State of the Union. It has, from that time to this, witnessed the remarkable spectacle of the perpetual decline of the South in comparative wealth, porde.. Ise, and eivilintion, while at the same time the lese of slavery was extending, the value of it in enning, and the political power of the South beesalag awe and more preponderant over that of a.Nert►. Hence its discontent; hems its threat to eglit the Union • hence its policy of re-opening the Mina slave trado, while it appears to have the wee= control of the entire country. Virginia wan siaking, and sinking through slavery Whin WASHINGTON and JEFFERSON believed that it send presently abolish slavery, and gave • pr. ve power to Congress to stop the African slave leads after an interval ending in 1808. They did alt foresee that Virginia, rained by slave labour, wised grow rich by slave-breeding. The dawned he settee first raised the prim of ogress, and made `breeding of that sort of stock profitable, after the teak was prohibited. Eliza that, the rise in the vales of labour, caused by the development of the Heath (itself caused and sustained by the inamigru lin of free labour), has perpetually raised the veins d lam in every form, till the slave-breeding States have pews rich (es the cotton-growing States say) et the expense of sgricaltare and the planters. The suttee-States cannot see, or do not choose to sue, say other reams for their matinee= &glee sad increasing than the high pries of slaves ; and they pretend to believe that they could sustain the political power of the South by weelth espial to that of the North, if they were to forsake the Virginia 'market, and draw their slaves hos Africa. One remarkable result of this notion is that they now rival the aboli tionists in exposing the cruelties of the inter-state slave trade, ignoring, on their side, the horrors of the middle images. Another comsequesee is that the slave•breeding States are already letting at soma of the secrets of the agricultural States—hitherto their friendly customers. Within a month Governor Wm; of Virginia, has disclosed to Northern men the Use ground of apprehension in the Slave States. It le not the abolitioaiate: it is not the 'egress: it is the "mean whites.* This due is now very numerous (seven-tenths to thrsotenths of elaveholders); and it is becoming desperate from the poverty and degradation which &Met free labourers in a slave-holding country. In Virginia they have an influence which is not permitted in the active Slave States i and the expectation of Governor Wan is that they will be able to bring a bill into the Virginia legislature, prohibiting the practice of me chanic arts by Degrees, in order to preserve onetime of employments for poor whites. In opposition to this the plasters, and the townsmen who support them, are proposing to establish large manufactories, by means of African labourers, and certain adver tisements before us show that slave labour is clfered for the making of railroads, with the avowed object of excluding free labour as too dear. We need not dwell on the fallacy of any calculation which assumes that free and slave labour are of equal quality. The point of interest to us is that an endeavour is made to drive awry free labourers over one frontier, while African slaves ars to be imported over the other. To this everything is to give way. The outspoken anti cipation of the agricultural Slave Slates is that Pennsylvania first, and then all the other seaboard states, will be carrying on a flourishing slave trade within ten years ; that every " mean whits will by that time have at least one slave of his own : that the citizen of Massachusetts will stand at the foot of the Bunker-hill Monument, to all over the roll of his slaves: that European labourers will case to seek their coast, or will be turned beck from it : and that republican government will have given plea to a military rule which may still preserve the word because there may be no sovereign is the case, bat which will wholly exclude labourers from poll deal existence, and concentrate rights and privileges on the capitalists who own the labourers. The rola tam of this state of things to the :forage alliances of the American people we have now no room to exhi bit. We may do it at another time. Meanwhile, we have to secure our readers that the propoonden of this retrogrades policy are evidently in earnest. We need not add that they do not know the North— neither its wealth, nor its intellectual TWITS* 3, nor its insight, nor its spirit. They do not know the North, if they conceive such a reversal of its policy to be possible. They do not understand political economy, or they would not imagine that free labour could be putdown at their pleasure. They do not know the world, or they would not fancy they could make bee with Africa, to snit their imaginary convenience. They do not know the energy and sagacity which belong to free labour in partnership with espial, or they could not reckon on ensuring the cotton prodnetke I of the world. Still they may be, and they evidently are, in earnest, and they are humoured by at least ' one European power. If they are ever se sure of failure in their scheme as a whole, it is one which we are bound to understand as it premeds; and we shall therefore allow no phase of it to pass unnoticed and unproclaimed. altopther devoid of weight. It i■ that the difficulty of inventing entirely di tint and independent name even foe the limited number of 671 streets (with which the Committee of the Metropolitan Board of Works repose to bogie) has already sorely tried their inventive insanity. Already many of the names suggested, end the reasons assigned for adopting than, task the gravity of the public, sorely p and a new and experimental Institution cannot afford to make limit a laughing stook. The Inconvenience, too, that will result from en immediate and wholesale change of the names of our metropolitan streets, will be very great. In title deeds end mortgages, temente are oftendescribed as 'imitated in a certain street. A change of name may in the course of a few years place in peril pro piston and mortppes. Apia, the streets whose names it is proposed to change are most of them obscure and little known to the public at large. ) A long time will elapse before the altered= becomes generally known. But from every one of those obscure streets, individuals have been constantly going forth to seek employ• rant in the provisos', and in the colonies and dependencies of the empire. Loos years may elapse l before a settler on the Murrembidgee can learn that the Clumbennet of his boyhood has been trans muted into a Eugene Aram or Handel street. He may be dutifully trainloads; remittanses from his hard-won earnings to his aged and infins parents, and these remittances may never reach them, bemuse the new postman is unaware of the aid name of the street. The change will probably go far to defeat the main object to which it is urged. In short, by the proposed whop awls re-baptising of our streets, the Board will run a fair chance of in volving themselves and their coutitunts in a series of inextricable confusions end mistakes. They will have enough to do (in addition to their more serious duties) in devising appropriate name" for the new streets that are every day springing into existence, and in now and then changing the names of one or two old Orson, when it can be den with advantage and without hazard. There on be no disgrace in backing oat of an undertaking which their loan siderate good nature has allowed to be premed upon them ; for this Christman frolic of throw ing everything into confusion by a whole. sale change of our street nomenclature has not originated with them. It is, in foot, a dainty device for sparing trouble to stupid or lazy postmen, and accommodating stupid and lazy letter writers. We have shown that in many cases it would add to the uncertainly of postal delivery. We may add that it is only in eomparatively a few ones that the identity of the names of streets is the real one of letters going astray. The real cause is, far more often, either the canleseness or stupidity of those who Wrens the letters, or the indolence or 'tepidity of letter-meters or letter-carriers. the i;ate of the letter-ouriers area ot so =busies but that sash nay make Mine& neater of all the streets, base, sad courts within his daily round. And as for the meters, they appear to rely at times moss upon sass-work than reflection. We have hoard of lettere and book-parcels addressed to the British Mamas in mart unchallenpable calligraphy, being carried in suessesion to the Lyceum and to her Majesty's Theatre, simply became of the Italian name of the chief librarian. The Metropolitan Board of Works lute quite enough to do without allowing itself to be made the sospegoat of another set of publio servants. PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT*. (THIS DAT.)

The draft of the treaty son to Paris bad not bon approved of by England, although it had met the views of Prods and France.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. Plow 0173 OWN PARIS, 110111DLY EVISIZIte. The Emperor and Primo Frederick William of Prussia left Paris at nine o'clock this morning for Fontainebleau, on a hunting expedition. They will sleep then to-night, and will probably return to Paris tomorrow evening. Lord Cowley is among the personages invited to join the party. It is confidently stated that the Emperor will pay his long contemplated visit to Algeria in the spring, but the realisation of this prefect most of course do. pond upon the state of Europe, and other cireum stases.. There is a seniors difference of opinion between the Prefect of the Seine end the twelve mayors of Paris, with regard to the disposal of the funds in the Bureaux de Bienfaiseace, the prefect desiring to put them altogether and then divide them equally among the poor of th• twelve arrondissements, while the mayors insist that each arrondissement shall benefit exaltudvely by the feuds subscribed within it. My informant goes so far as to my that all the mayan of Paris have tendered their resignations. The Bourse has been very iepreseed today. The Bente opened heavily, and, notwithstanding a smart resistance during the first half-hoar, quotations con tinued declining all day. A report that Switzerland had Nat to London aid Paris an energetic note orbit the pretensions of Prude, was considered very serious. The Beats fell 600. for clash, and 55e. for acontat, closing at 66k. 500., and 66k. 750. fdo biller fell 36k. The railways wereall lower, the fall being generally from Ilk. to 10k. The Pays, observing upon the gravity of the state of affain in Persia, says that the really important question of the moment is to know whether the allies of Penis will lend her an effective support. If Russia were to transport an army to Astrabed, which she might do ins few hours by means of her flotilla in the Caspian Sea, the Into m of the En glish expedition would be extremely doubtful. but then the consequences of such a step on the part of Ramis would be very serious, and might " perhaps lead to en open nears between England and Ressia.". The Pays hopes that this extremity will be avoided, but it thinks that the solution of the difficulty depends entirely upon the cabinet of St. Petersburg. Persia, it admit', has, by taking Herat, most undoubtedly broken its engagements with England, and can only re-establish friendly relations with that power by giving up the conquest. Bat whether she will aban don it or not depends entirely " upon the counsels the Shah may receive from Russia, and conse quently it is only upon the wisdom of the Emperor Alexander that we can rely to stifle in the bad com plications the consequences of which it is impossible to measure." The Constantinople correspondent of the Pays thinks that the conferences going on between the Persian ambeseador, Perak Khan, and Lord Stratford de &deli& will not lead to any arrangement. The Proses letters of the same date (Dec. 5) say that, although Fmk Khan's powers were, as has teen repressated, exceedingly large, he found, on hearing Lord de Redcliffe's demands, that he must refer to Teheran for further instructions. The time neosseary for obtaining an answer will be very bog at this season of the year, and In the interval the &mien expedition will pursue hostile operations. The Prism adds that it appears to be certain that Feruk Khan will not come to France so long as the Aoglo•Penisn difference remains un settled. Although this latter nem is given very positively by the correspondent of the Pram, I have some reason to doubt its accuracy, for it is said here this evening that an attaché of the Minister of the Interior has already left Paris for Marseilles to meet the Persian ambassador, who is expected then very 8000. With the exemition of the addition of the Dab of Malakoff to the list of Vioe-Preeidento of the Senate, the composition of the bureaux of the Senate and Carps Leghdatif for 18117, poblished in the Mositeur to-day, is the same as that of the last session. To-day a rams was said in the chapel of the lava fides in commemoration of the entry of the remains 'of Napoleon the Great into Paris. About fifty old soldiers of the empire, dressed in uniforms of the period, attended. Alter mats they proceeded in a body, with beat of dram, to the Place Vendome, where they marched round the column, some of them depositing insmor tslios on the railings. The day being extremely fine, a good many people followed them. One could net help being struck with the excessive newness of the uniforms, most of which are, however, supposed to be upwards of forty years old. The fact is, that instead of the "youthful hose well saved," these Vie= debris fer the most part wore spick and span new dresses, paid for by the Emperor, the effect of which wad to give many of the wearers such a youthful appear saes, that it was scarcely possible to credit the real dates of their services. In the Paris cora market last week, the demand for flour was at first somewhat more active, and prices in consequence were held more firmly ; but es the buyers evidently looked for lower prices, business ease almost to a stand stilL The four marks were offered at 79fr. and 80fr. the 159 kilogrammes. The reserve at the Halle remains at about 9,000 metrical quintals (of 22111b5. each). ►heat remains in Paris at the prices of the preceding week, though the quota tions from the provisoes have come, with very little exception, a little lower.

Then is so little information to be obtained about the late disturbances in Sicily that the following letter from that island, though it is not of recent date, may be worthy of attention even now. It is from the Monitore 2oacano. BAGARIA, Noy. 24.
