ef, and to — a great extent the workers in, the ints„ Da l conspiracy against liberty. The minister was o l c a willing tool in their hands. The disruption d a l e GCTlllallpsrliament was owing to other omen this l'rince Schwarzenberg:'s chicanery and ma d iect , and history will remove him from the high . ' position in which he has been so unjustly f la w .1 • When fairly traced, the career of the late I muL • ,ter will exhibit successes due only to the weak eessand folly of thou over whom they were gained. Itheneier he encountered a courageous and deter mined o pponent, he was foiled; whenever he met • mediating cowardly foe, the policy he pursued was tensely successful. His violent and dogged perti • his am' PeC bluahi lllVng effrontery, and his unmea m' . n Y amog anee, 4to his . name the glory of iaeiug humbled Frederick M ilium of Prussia and 1 10 minister Manteulfel. but they failed most ela rgiewsly in the negotiations with the l'orte ccspecting t h e Hungarian refugees. His re. ° at n egotiations to force all Germany into a commercial union—all the advantages of which et uPd have been on the side of Austria—have ter minated in failure: a failure certainly not greater than that which followed his attempt to create new iu.toutions for the Germanic Confederation ; the latter. to his consummate annoyance and dismay, ended in the resumption of the unmanageable old 'tau. and the former have forced the northern states et tk rmany. with Prussia at their head, into a ~,r e liberal and therefore more powerful and more la-ting commercial league. 'f he internal policy, which. acting under the orders of tho secret im peal cabinet. has been pursued during his ministry has been to adopt and . to . improve—by increasing their severity—th instittiuns with which his pre- Mette rni e ch so well succeeded in endowing the e mpire. Notwithstanding the debt of gratitude whnh ter thus incurred. Prince Schwarzenberg *lairs spoke of the a-chancellor in the most con- Univ . . anus and mailing terms. During his ministry the milttary mid pollee despotism under which the united moieties of Austria now groan, obtained a pt rfietion hitherto unknown; during his ministry, a nd with his direct sanction, more atrocities—wit m-a the hangings at Arad and the woman-floggings at both- tc committed than can be found in any ether periesl of similar duration in the history et I L,. isal .; ce . As during the last four years Prince 14,111,am:de 41 has so successfully earned • high piaci in the - Nottrate Calendar" of despotic kings and fed ministers. his antecedents will naturally, and W.th I euelaHe curiosity, be inquired after. But few of these% and none very creditable, ire known. Born of a princely family —he was the nephew of Field- Marshal Prince Schwarrenberg, who commanded the aline! armies at Leipzig—his brother is • cardi nal. and Bishop of Prague—the late Prince Felix bought fame in his younger days in diplomacy mid in the army. In the latter his services have not obtained any very brilliant recog sitioe. while in the former ho has been bk-sed with successful failures out of number. Iley.sul all question, however, tho late minister de find his greatest notoriety from his successes and filmes in conflicts neither diplomatic nor military. Wherever tither of these services summoned him he invariably found time and leisure to bestow on the serviee of Cupid. In St. Petersburg, in Naples, and in I.ondon. the diplomatist was a successful wooer; ih.ai,.:ll in the two latter cities his successes were voided by unpleasant consequences. In Naples, the l.a/;7.roni. and in London, a court of law, revenged the mjund husbands. At the time of his death, Prime Sehwarzenbcrg was an outlaw from this coun try nu account of unpaid damages and costs. The Austrian Emperor has undoubtedly experi enced a loss by the death of a willing servant ; his place may be temporarily difficult to fill, but it will not have other than momentary effects on the present system of government, u he was not the ori ginator, but merely the adapter of the system, and as his position, especially recently, was essentially. administrative, the Emperor Francis Joseph will doubtless tied another equally willing servant among the numerous military and diplomatic courtiers who surround him. One thing may, however, be calcu lated on with tolerable certainty; whoever may be his -necesear be emit be a greater foe to England and Prussia than win Prins Schwarzenberg. The Austrian pee* gain nothing, the Emperor loses rocking by his elsath ; England and Prussia may gain a milder and mu temperate &welcher to negotiate with." AMERICA. A Washington correspondent of a New York jour nal, states that the difficulties which it has leen alleged have grown up . between the United States and Great Britain, in consequence of a dis pute between the Hudson Bay Company, and the collector of Astoria, have been greatly magnified. The facts arc briefly, that, under the Oregon treaty, the Hudson Bay Company has permission to have any stores for its use carried across Oregon, or from port to port, on its way to the Company's settle ments, free of duty. The collector at Astoria ascer tained that the vessels thus employed were in the habit also of carrying goods for other parties, claim ing it as a right under the treaty. Of course, no such right exists; and as it is a direct infraction of our laws, the collector gave nodes that tulles, it was stopped he would bo compelled to seise the vessels. Thereupon the captain presented the ass to the Bri tish government, and the papers were forwarded to Mr. Crampton, the British minister here, for expla nation and investigation. He understands that the Secretary of the lressury has satisfied Mr. Crampton that the collector's position was in accordance with law, and that the assumptions of the captai; are wholly untenable. The affair may thus be consi dered sittled. _ _ .

LOSS OF THE BIRKENHEAD TROOP SHIP-ABOUT 450 PERSONS MISSING. A portion of the following appeared in ear columns yesterday: The General Screw Steam Shipping Companrs vessel, the Propontis, Capt. Glover, arrived at Ply mouth on Tuesday morning, at 3 o'clock, having had a splendid run of little more than 31 days from the Cape of Good Hope. The Propontis on her outward voyage left Ply mouth Jan. 16; arrived St. Vincent, Jan. 27 ; sailed, Jan. 28; arrived Sierra Leone, Feb. 2; sailed, 3rd; arrived Cape, February 25 ; sailed March 3; arrived Sierra Leone, March 19 ; sailed the same day ; arrived Saint Vincent, March 24; sailed March 26 ; arrived at Plymouth, the &h.

Her Majesty's ship Hydra arrived at Sierra Leone, with General Cath cart, Feb. 23, and sailed March 2. The Cape mail steam vessel Harbinger arrived March 2, and sailed the same day. The Portuguese packet Infanta de Suez arrived Feb. 11, and sailed 24th. March 26, in I'orto Grande; Dantzic barque, Emma Rays; St. Vincent, Swedish brig; Active, American whaler; ' President, English schooner Mentor, and a Greek brig. March 26, 95 miles N.N.E. of Point Antonio, spoke the Belle of ‘Vhitchaven. The l'ropontis brings a full general cargo and a heavy mail, the latter in charge of Commander von Donnop, R.N. She also brings the following pea 'tenger, from the Cape of Good Hope: Messrs. Man deville, Iliddingle, Howell, Simpson, and Freshfield, It.N. (late clerk of the Birkenhead); Mr. Davies, wife, and child, from Sierra Leone; Capt. Crozier, R.N., Capt. Dyer, Mr. Sanders, R.N., I. Borelli, and Assuitant Commissary General Le Mesurier, from Sierra Leone. The Propontis brings the distressing intelligence of the loss of the Birkenhead troop-ship, on the 20th February, near Simon's Bay ; 446 persons are missing. The following report, which has been addressed to the Commandant of Cape Tuwn by Capt. Wright, of the 91st Regiment, one of the survivors on the late mournful occasion, appears in a supplement to the Care Torn Mod of the 3rd March, and fur nishes the details of this harrowing occurrence : Simon's Bay, Match 1, 1862. Sir,—lt is with feeling, of the deepest regret that I have to announce to you the loss of her Majesty's 'teaser Birk enhead, which took place on a reek about 2i or 3 miles off Point Danger, at 2 a.m., 28th February. The Sea was smooth at the time, and the vessel was steaming at the rate of 81 knots en hour. She struck the rock, and it penetrated through her bottom, just aft ' of the foremast. The rush of water was so great that there is no doubt that most of the mu in the lower troop deck were drowned in their hammocks. The rest of the men and all the officers appeared on Beek, when Major Seaton called all the officers about him, and impressed upon them the necessity of pre serving or der and silence amongst the meu. He directed me to take, and have executed, whatever orders the wee mender might give me. Sixty men were immediately put on to the chain pumps, on the lower after deck, and said of in three reliefs; sixty men were put on to tbe WAIN of the paddle - box boats ; and the remainder of the Ms were brought on to the poop, so as to case the fore pert of the ship. She was at this time rolling heavily. The summea der ordered the horses to be pitched out of the port pm way, and the cutter to be got ready for the WONG and children, who had all been collected under the poop awning. As soon as the hones were pet over the side, the women and children were pissed into the cutter, and under the charge of Mr. Richards, mas ter's assistant, the boat then stood off about a hundred and fifty yards. Just after they were out of the ship the entire how broke off at the foremast, the bow sprit going up in the air towards the foretomnast, and the funnel want over the side, carrying away the starboard paddle-box and boat. The other paddle-box boat capsized when being lowered. The large boat in the centre of the shifmeld net he got at. It wee about twelve or fifteen minutes after she struck that the bow broke off. The men then all went up on the 1 the peep, end in about five minutes more the Tweed broke la M. womanise, just abaft the engine-room, widths sten ' pert pa lately filled and went down. A few men of just before she did so, but the greater member , remained to the last, and m dial every Miser Misusing to the beeps.

Lenya Valley, Feb. 17, 18g2. sir,-1 have the honour to report, for the information of hip imellency the Commander-in-Chief, that I have de livered all the crops in the Lenya, which were very eaten. the. Lieut.. Colonel Eyre simul ta neously destroyed those in Helebe's klonf, with the exception of a small portion which General Somerset arranged with Lieut.-Colonel Eyre to destroy to-day. I march to-morrow for the Wolf Valley, and as I have reason to think there are very few crops there, I hope to be in Fort Cox to-morrow night. Hardly any opposition was made to our proceedings, a few harm less shots only being fired. I beg to acknowledge the re ceipt of a despatch from his excellency of this date. The orders therein received shall scrupulously be olse7ed.-1 have, &c. J. Mien LL, Lt.-Col., Coin. Field torte. Colonel Cloete, C. 8., Q.M.Gen. Camp, Keiskamma Hock, Feb. 18, 18.52. Sir,—ln obedience to instructions received from his Ex cellency the Commander. in-Chief, bearing date King William's Town, Feb. 14, 18.52, I have the honour to report, for the information of his excellency, that I moved off la two divisions with every available man of the force swim my command, early on the morning of the 16th, beam daylight, with a view to support Lieutenant- Clelessl Michel, while that officer wee employed in the detestation of the enemy's crops in the valley of the Lew. One column, under the command of Major Pinatney, composed of two companies of the 43rd Light bantry, two companies of the 73rd, the Levies, and Mitand • portion of the Cavalry, I directed to pro-1 es the mem of the Qamega. I proceeded my self with the rentaiader of the divines direct through the Deem& Pam. Neither column met with any resistance he the enemy. Major Pinckney and myself re-united war forces at the entrance of the, Bomah Pass, near the Jemetion of the Wolf and Keiskamma rivers, and together preseeded to destroy the numerous knell that we found in that locality, sad amongst them Saodilli's ' if we may ha lf/seethe toodmony of the women whom we have taken pri mers. We also destroyed the kraal of limhambe, one of the sammillon of that chief. Having reached the Helebe kloof, whence I could see, distinctly, Lieut.-Colonel Michel's amp, 1 immediatily crowned the heights of Mount Mac donald, whisk esseemed equally the two valleys termed the Lays sad the Hsieh, Motifs, after which 1 commenced de asewying the crops in the latter kloof, which were very exten sive, reaching up to the summit of Mount Macdonald. The whole of this cultivation (with the exception of a few patches which General Somerset, in a conference I subset• wally had with him, promised to destroy) was effectu ally devastated by the troops under my command. We bimeasked on the summit of Mount Macdonald, near the genera's encampment. On the following morning, the 17th, at daylight, we groped our way through a dense fog, down the steep side of the mountain overlooking Fort Cox, into the Lenya Valley, in order to assist Lient.-Col. Michel in the destruction of the crops in that valley ; but finding that the work was already done, and by 8 o'clock in the morn ing, and that there was no necessity for my co.operation, I proceeded up the volley of the Keiszanima, and having de vastated the crops in the Qumega on route, I returned to my camp at this station before dark. The enemy) made no attempt at renitence. lu fact, throe or four Kean were all that we saw during the two days' operations. The troops had two most arduous days, which they went through with their accustomed good-will. I beg particularly to express my thanks to Major Pinck ney, who conducted his detached column with kis usual intelligence, surprising the enemy, and capturing a few (half • dozen) cows ; also to Lieutenant-Colonel Skipwitb, 431 Light Infantry, who effectually supported me through out these operations; also to Lieutenant Durant, 12th Royal Lancers, commanding the cavalry; Capt. Griffith., commanding the Levies, and Lieutenant Vice, commanding the noires. I also received every assistance from my Field-Adjutant Reeve, 73d Regiment.—l have &c. Wm. Evan, Licut.-Colonel 73d Regiment. Colonel Cloete, C. 8., Quartermaster-General. A rumour, which however wanted confirmation, had reached Cape Town just before the departure of the mail, to the effect that the camp of Major- General Somerset, in the Chumio Valley, had been attacked by a force of the enemy, and that the 74th and 91st Itegiments had suffered severely.

FURTHER PARTICVLARS. The fate of Mr. Benjamin Boyd, late of the Stock Exchange, which has crawl so much anxiety in the City, has, we regret to say, been fully ascertained beyond • doubt. The unfortunate gentleman, it will be recollected, was on a tour in his yacht, the Wan derer, from California to Sydney, and when among the group of Solomon Islands, in the South Pacific, was attacked by the natives, and met with a horrible death, as also a companion. An impression has been circulated, to the effect that Mr. Boyd would be found probably to have perished on board his own vessel ; the truth, however, will be best gathered from extracts from the ship's log book, which details the whole circum stances, and is attested by the master and crew of the Wanderer. . - . . " Tuesday, Oct. 14.—This day, at 3 o'clock p.m., we PM to an anchor in a small bay on the south-west of the idea of Guadalcauar, being in south latitude 9.40, east Imegltudo 119 60 16.

At abed bar-past six Mr. Boyd arose in usual and taking the small boat, with one native of gars went ashore to shoot game. The boat was sum to enter a small creek, and was immediately out of sight of the ship. Mr. Boyd fired one shot soon after. Nay natives were seen standing near the entrance to the creek. About seven o'clock another shot was heard, but nothing transpired to excite suspicion." The details of an attempt by the natives to obtain posses sion of the ship, in which they were beaten off with great loss, are then given. " We now manned the boat and went to seek Mr. Boyd, but all the traces we found were the place of struggle end the marks where he had fired two shots. "From the marksashore,and the situation of the wadding of Mr. Boyd's gun, it would seem as if he was attacked as soon as the bast got out of sight of the ship, and was killed after a streak in the water, as was also his compare fen ; but what bided of the bodies Ood only knows.
