Their superabundant spirits and some what truant energies being brought under control by military discipline, they would become the most steady and reliable of troops, though long-continued training, and a regular course of military education, would probably be required for the purpose. Such men would be absolutely ruined by the proposed militiatrainkw. What would be their course ? At their first en t—with to them the inexhaustible wealth of five pounds bounty money in their pockets— their first three weeks' training would be a period of eentinued debauchery—their irregular tendencies would be ned by the communion with others of like And when they returned to their hoams. adnralated rather than sated by the limas and stremons idleness of their quasi-military I they Wail be less fitted than previously for the ill and *Ming pursuits of the farm labourer, wit& they wail 114 the Mama they had provirtg) 4 and tits wait they were esonstantsd to Olds fill up by Mbar workman, and maibrmed by others who bad maistad the temptation of bounty way, sr had not Isla drawn as, militia sensaripta.

A constant place and a good meter will in most cues turn the balance of the labourer's fate on the favour able side, and render him a Reputable man through life ; so on the other hand, irregular employment or frequent interests of idleness, between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, will as certainly render the country lad an inefficient and inferior workman, —if no worse. Now, the militia bounty will be the ruin of not a few of the young agricultural labourers we have referred to ; for, whatever might have hap pawed otherwise, the young man who serves in the militia can only hope to obtain the lowest and most precarious places in the service of a farmer. Bound to devote three weeks or • month in each year to military training, to the mysteries of the drill and the license of a pot-house billet, he becomes ineligible to the regular places of the farm. What farmer will hire or retain a militiaman es overlooker, plough man, herdsman, or shepherd ? Who will make a yearly engagement with a farm servant who must have his master at perhaps the most busy season to dawdle about the county town in a red coat, and to bring back, if he return at all, habits of irregularity, which will do infinite mischief to his fellow-work men? Those who have had to deal with the agricultural labourers know that these are no imaginary evils; that, from absence of education and mental training, they are so completely wanting in self-control, Jo entirely creatures of impulse, that their conduct for food or evil in the majority of eases depends upon the less or greater temptation to idleness or irregu larity to which they may be open in youth and early manhood. The Voluntary Enlistment Militia Act may, therefore, be justly called a plan to divert the young men of the rural districts from habits of indu ut str suppose the quota shall not be furnished_ by U. volunteers, the deficient number is to be supplied by ballot; and here, berme the evils we have adverted to, comes a new sours, d mischief to the rural dames.

In this striking article Qirardin seeks mainly to prove that the timorous and undecided attitude of the press, that indifference in political matters, abstention, reserve, neutrality, can only play into the hands of the Restoration. The practical gist of his reasoning goes to exhort the republicans to accept the de facto government as the only way of keeping universal suffrage, upon which base liberty, which he admits has no present existence, may be re stored. The ,Aaaemblde Nationale interprets the passage of the President's speech relating to the empire, as a warning that the proclamation of that form of go vernment is at hand. It says: . _ . _ Tbe empire is formally foreseen; it 0 even declared asesseney under certain eventualities.

The following items are from tho New Fork Wiekly Herald for Europe : The news from the Panama railroad is very encouraging. A new city has been founded at Navy Bay, called Aspinwall Oily, and there, instead of Chagree, will be hereafter the 't4ataf llMMetern side of the isthmus. Chagres, being Meitly aeagemed of small cabins, will probably be remove d le the City of Aspinwall by the arrival of the neat steamer. Meanwhile, George Law has given, by his presence, a new intp_etus to the railroad. Oo a-head! We have the information from San Juan that there is a prospect of a blow up at that place between the illegal au thonties of the Mosquito King and their English agents on the one side, and the Nicaragua people on the other. Quite likely. It is time that King Sambo abdicated. His majesty has been tolerated by our government too long already. Let him resign, and come to New York. Barnum might turn him to some account. We have late advice' from Venezuela, but they contain very little news. That beautiful country—that perfect garden—seems to be kept down by bad government. It is a republic in name only. Our Porto Cabello correspondence givesus • pen-and-ink sketch of the present condition of the country. Our private advises from Mexico are interesting. With regard to the failure of the Tehuantepec treaty, it would seem that Mr. Webster, in arresting and indicting Jonas P. Levy, is entirely on the wrong track. If any ether project has defeated Mr. Webeter'itTekumitepec 'claw, it is not Levy's Alvarado protect, but the project of the company of the Vera Cruz. And if they have been the muse of the failure of the Tehuantepec treaty, Simeon Draper, and the Waltotreet folks ought to have been indicted instead of Levy. In relation to the practicability of navigating by steam the Mescal' river on the Vera Crux route, we have received a Mexican o ffi cial report of en actual survey of the river, in a voyage from the same, for 500 miles, by a corps appoihted for the purpose. They descended the river in a sloop, from a point not over a good day's ride from Puebla, down to the Pacific Ocean. A powerful company has been organised in New York, with a capital of 2,600,000 dole. for the opening of a new route to California, by way of Vera Crue, thence across the country by stages to a point south-west of Puebla, on the Me•Wa river; thence in north-westerly direction, down said river, nearly five hundred miles, by steamboats, to the Pacific. The company have secured the right of way of Mexico, and the exclusive privilege for the transportation of all foreign mails across the republic for fifteen years. We have received certain official documents from Mexico, establishing the practicability of this route. Here, then, is probably the true secret of the rejection, by Mexico, of the Tehuantepec treaty. In any event, the prosecution of Levy, as the arch conspirator who has defeated it, will be regarded in Mexico as oue of the best jokes of the season. We are abo advised that the indemnity of 15,000,000 dots. from the United States being pretty well exhausted, the bankrupt government of Mexico will soon be compelled to resort to some other extraordinary means to replenish their treasury; and it is understood that they intend to make application to our government for indemnities for the out rages committed along the Mexican frontiers by the Indians and fillibtuteroce " from our side of the line, in violation of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo; and that, upon this account, the damages will be laid at thirty millions of dollars. Failing in any relief of this kind, it is feared the administration of Arista (really an able and capable man) will tumble to pieces, and that Santa Anna will again come in, and under the connivance of British agents, will again assume the dictatorship. A very extensive conspiracy exists against the present administra tion, and in favour of toe recall and restoration of Santa Anna. Mr. fetcher is, no doubt, pretty well informed oo this point. But let our Secretary of State see to it that, in the event of the return of Santa Anna to power, the Garay graat of the Tehuantepec is not transferred to the exclusive peewee . = and control of British capitalists and agents of the British government. Another, from St. Louis, of March 16, is as fol lows : Kossuth leaves hare this evening for New Orleans, in the steamer Alexander Scott. The miss of llungarisn ➢onds here amounted to 700 dote. The river is rising rapidly, and is higher than it has been sinus the flood of 15,1. The weather is showery. The captain of the barque Action, from Liverpool, at New Orleans, has been fined 5,000 dole. for out rages upon two female passengers. Advices from Honduras report a fearful storm in the bay, in which five British vessels were lost, one of which was the barque Bathurst, of London, with all on board. The latest news ho® Mexico is contained in the following telegraphic despatch, dated Ncw Orleans, March 17: Later advices have been received here from Northern Mexico, by which we learn that Carabepal had been cap tured by Clasaral Harney, and taken prowler to Browns- A.dvices from Havannah to the 16th have been re ceived, but commercially and politically they are unimportant.

THE BURMESE WAlt. By our usual despatch in advance of the Overland Mail, we have news to the following dates :—Bombay, March 3; Calcutta, Feb. 21. The following arc extracts from the summary of the liontbayTintes:— "The crisis that has overtaken us within the last fortnight, illustrates the maxim that India in the midst of peace is at war—t Fut we know not at any time what a week or a month may bring forth. The Irrawaddy, which now flows undisturbed and un occupied to the sea, will, before: a month expires, bear a fleet of eight war steamers and an army of eight thousand men on its bosom ; and the cities of Rangoon and Martaban, now peace ful, fair, and flourishing, will be heaps of smok ing ruins—their inhabitants scattered, and the British flag floating where they now stand. We mentioned in our last the extreme anxiety of the Governor- General to avoid conflict, and to accept of any ar rangement that could be made not inconsistent with our safety and dignity to restore amicable relations with Burmah; ho was said to have disapproved of the abduction of the Burmese ship of war by Com modore Lambert, and to have offered to restore her; but he insisted on justice being done to our injured merchants. The proposition was treated with inso lence, and replied to through the hands of a common labourer, and it became quite clear that all that wag desired was to gain time—the Bur mese sovereign had no intention to comply in any way with our behests. Our frontiers nearest to Burmah were ordered to bs watched, and arrangements were accordingly made to meet any sudden aggression that might arise. H.M.'s Royal Irish were despatched by the Precursor steamer from Calcutta to Moulmein, wh ero they arrived in 73 hours, li.M.'s 80t11, from Dina pore, taking their place in Fort William. Two na tive corps and three companies of artillery were to follow. A like force of artillery and native infantry as that ordered from Calcutta, were to be provided from Madras, being in all two European (ISth and 51st) and four native (38th and 67th Bengal and 9tia and 35th Madras) corp., with four companies of artillery, mostly Europeans, in addition to those on board the Bombay steamers. The 49th and 26th M.N.!. are betwixt Moulmein and Mergui—they probably num ber about 1,2(N) men; so that in all we shall have about 10,000 fighting men, independent of the ships' crews, at our disposal. The entire force is to be commanded by Major-Gen. Godwin, C. 8., of her Majesty's army, who was present throughout tho last Burmese war from 1825 to '27 ; with Brigadiers Warren and Elliott to command the Bengal and Madras bri respectively. Colonel Foord, of the Mad m xlicae s r inn y', be ii to in charge of the artillery, and Prater, of the Bengal army, of the engieners. On the 19th Feb., orders were received at Wembley from the Governor-General for despatch for the Bay of Bengal as speedily as pos.ible of all the steamers which could be spared, and such is the high condition of the Indian navy that on the 21th a squadron, under the command of Captain Lynch, consisting of the Fcroze (transformed from a packet to a frigate) and the Nloozuffer, both 1,500 to and 500.1toree power, and the Sesostris frigate, wit the troop steamer Berenice, of about 800 tone tech, sailed from our harbour within five days time err being aware that there was any chance of * ' g required. The Zenobia was intended '' she arrived in time from Aden. The tlucen now takes her place ; and this, with the Medusa iron -steamer, completes our armament. The steamers are, as they were during the China war, supplied with Eu ropean artillerymen to work their guns. The Semi ramis, a frigate of 1,200 tons and 300-horse power, from China, and the Hugh Lindsay, from Madras, can be despatched if required. From Calcutta, the Enterprise, Fire Queen, '1 enaaserim, and Phlegethon, with the iron steamer Nemesis, are under orders. The vessels of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, capable of trinsporting 1,000 men each, are available as troopships. While these matters were being arranged, despatches were re ceived from Burmah professing a desire for peace: the first condition was that we should change the channel of communication to Major Bogle, the commissioner, instead of through Commodore Lambert; the arrogance of dreaming of prescribing to us how we should con duct our arrangements sufficiently iudicated the temper of the monarch, so our preparations were pushed on. The squadron sails direct for Rangoon sad Martaban, cities by the rivet side of 30,000 and and 10,000 inhabitants respectively ; they are doomed to be destroyed, and, as they are constructed chiefly of wood, our first fire will set them in a blaze. Ale have not leisure for a regular campaign, and should matters not be completely settled by the middle of May, the forces, after doing as much mischief as pos sible, will return to Bombay and Calcutta, to renew werations in October. Be some it is surmised that the river steamers will pia's& en as far as draught of water will allow if requisite, continuing the war without inter.uption, the fleet remaining at hand throughout the rains. The Burmese government will be compelled to recompense the British mer chants for the loss already occasioned them, to meet all the charges of the war, and to admit hereafter a British resident within their country. 'the indemnity will most probably be exacted in the shape of a slice of territory: should resistance beceino protracted, it is sot improbable that we may annex as many of their provinces as we desire—the foundation, in all likelihood, of the acquirement of the whole magnifi cent peninsula; and on this oecaeion we seem to have justice on our side, and to have acted with extreme moderation. The troops formerly or dered to rendezvous at Sukkur have roturnca to their cantonments, and all is quiet in Seinde. Sir John Grey having lately suffered from a severe attack of sickness, returns to England by this day's *teenier. Brigadier-General A. Manson, C. 11.. Bom bay Artillery, died at the Preeiden4 on the 23rd alt. Sir C. Campbell's force returned to l'cshawur from Mitchnie on the 15th nit. Sir Henry Law rence had just visited the station. The tribes around were as mischievously inclined as ever, and phin dered us whenever opportunity offered. India throughout continues tranquil, but there are strange rumours of an intended outbreak of the M. , 144111; in Malabar. Trade continues dull, and money abun dant CALCUTTA, l'n , A. The following, says the Benoot lteeka. , .. i.: the substance of the intelligence brought by the Fire Quein, which arrived yesterday from Nloulinein and Rangoon river. The Fire Queen left the Sandhcads on the 2sth ult., and arrived off Rangoon river on the 3111)1 idem at 10p.m. She went in the next day, and anchored ahead of the Fox frigate at 2 p.m., and towed her up Atha Ilasting's Sand, which is about four or tile miles below Rangoon. On going up the river. on rromiot the filet stockade. which is 10 or 15 milesmilesc entrance, the steamer and frigate were tired upon by which a man of the Fox was so MI arty wounded that he afterwards died of the wound. I The fire was returned by the frigate with diet and shell. The Tenamerim, in passing up the following day was also tired upon, but without etiect, and the Fire Queen in passing down. The Fire Quern called off the entrance of Rangoon river, coming back on the morning of the sth instant. The' Fez frigate was then coming out in tow of the Tena.escrits.
