THERE are numerous advantages in being the owner of half a million of mosey but among them are none which many of the fortunate individuals in question seem to prize more highly,. or apply_ to more curious purposes, than the Falk. of making themselves notorious. Alin% thq bawls, to perpetrate a few oddities of dm iglu* ea easiest description, to enjoy the felicity of "SAW I themselves famous' every day of the VW. The wealthy eccentric who lets 2.so.oo ass =r into 500,0001. by gradual process of while leaving his coat enbenshed foe fear of wearing it out ; and shivering with cold ezapt when he sea wring from the mistaken compassion of kis fellow passengers an eleemosynary glass d brandy—is sure to achieve renown. It is however after his personal decease that the millionnaire aspires with most advantage to fill the tram" of fame. We speak not now of the "storied urns which Westminster Abbey offers far more eagerly to the owner of " plums" than to the winner of battles—and which it has bees known to rause to the writer of immortal poems. Our business is with the renown which all, the public ear and pre-occupies the publi: mind, "syllabling men's names" in the gossip of the day and inspiring the concoctora ci paragraphs in the contemporary journals. Foe such renown as this the poor man may sigh in vain while devising the moat eccentric disposition for his me temptible property. He may bequeath his MI. to the UniNceLbou of the EXCHEQUER, RR repayment " of a debt long due to the nation," or make the same right honourable gentleman residuary legatee to a per anal estate conhisting of "444 postage stampe,"andyet no one will seek to raise the veil of mystery thrown round the name of the testator by the cabalistic initials in which his bequest is announced. Let, howevei , the sum swell to its hundreds of thousands, and public curiosity is at once evoked. Whether the rich legacy has been given to " Endow a college—of aea!,"., —bas founded u magnificent hospital like Gay* or condemned two generations of descendants to in the vain hope of conferring unimagioablo lle wealth upon the third, like Tuutussom's—on nateMoM in terest and an übiquitous notoriety are bederml epos the event.

Immediately after the suppression of tho Corasire M. de Villcuseesen announced to the ministry of police that he withdrew the caution-money of the Chronique de Faris, fessilktels of the suppressed journal, and that this review would limit itself for the future to subjects unconnected with polities. Madame Lafarge died at the baths of tient on the 7th of September. Her health, broken by the events of her life and her twelve years' imprisonment, had improved of late, and she herself at one time ex• pressed her belief that she should completely recover. An unfavourable change took place but a very short time before her death. The Irish eloquecce of Dr. Cahill has found that echo in the breast of the supporters of the govern ment of Dec. 2, which the Doctor seemed to promise himself when ho predicted that his letter would pe netrate to the breakfast-table of St. Cloud, and draw a grateful and immediate response from the head of the French Republic. The Patrie translates with equal zest the insults to England, and the prostration, before France; aad reminds us, by the contrast of the eagerness with which it catches at Cahill's offering, of the ardent lore and devotion of a million of his countrymen, of the cold di ;pity with which M. de Larnartme, at the head of the provisional government, answered the 1 traitorous proposal, of Mr. Smith O'Brien and his ' brother delegates. PARIS, SATV/IDAT. The military character of the President's progress through the departments of the south seems to be intimated by the announcement that he will be I accompanied during his whole journey by the Minister of War. The Moniteur de (Armee states that as General St. Arnaud will be constantly in attendance on the head of the state no interim minister of war will be created t but that all despatches addressed to the War-office will be for warded to the general on his journey, and all busi ness requiring his personal examination will be executed by him. M. de Maupas, Minister of I'olice, will attend the Prince as far as Moulins'. M. de Peraigny, Minister of the Interior, from Moulins to Lyons; M. Duces, Minister of Marine, at Toulon and Rochefort ; and that M. Marie, Minister of Public Works, will meet the Prince at Angou -li:quo, to inaugurate the railway with him. X Fould, Minister of State, is not to leave Paris. The new municipal council of Marseilles has voted 100,000 f. for the expenses of the reception of the Prince. The Queen of Portugal has charged the Chevalier de Paiva, her minister at the court of Russia, who is at present at Paris, to present the Prince President with the grand cordon of the order of the Tower and the Sword. This order is that which is generally given to sovereigns. The Queen decorated her father, the Emperor Don Pedro, with it on his death-bed. M. de Paiva will remain at Paris as Minister in the room of Count d'Azinhags, who goes as Minister to Madrid. You may remember that a considerable sum is realised by letting out chairs to loungers in the gar dens of the Tuileries. I believe that in the reign of Lords Philippe these receipts were farmed for a sum =seeding ono thousand pounds sterling a year. It appears that by the generosity of the senate on the And day, when that body met in their new uniforms, full of gratitude for pensions to come, they made a peseent to the head of the state of all the gardens at tested to the royal palaces, and the revenues thereof.

They wear a blue uniform. A fresh fall of earth took place on Wednesday evening on the Havre Railway at the same spot where the kill took pimp about ten days back. As in the former ease, it is the heavy rain which loosened the upper soil of a deep cutting, and at bet caused the high bank on one ride to give way. Oa the news l ot the accident reaching Paris M. de Lapeyritre, the trate superintendent, M. Thoyot, resident engineer, and Mr. Locke, M.P., oonstructing engineer of the line, at owe proceeded to the spot to ascertain the amount of damage done. It was found that the fall washes considerable than the preceding one, and all that would be required was to clear away the fallen earth. This was immediately commen ced , and the circulation was restored the next day. The railway from Charleroi, in Belgium, to Erque lines, on the French frontier, is now completed. The director of the company went slung the line a few days ago in a train drawn by an English locomotive constructed on the new system of two boilers. The republican pet ty of Paris have not yet made a final choice of their candidates for the two vacant seats in the Corps Legislatif. Advice. from Frankfort of Sept. 7, published by the organs of government, confirm the statement that M. de Tallenay, the French minister, has addreesed an energetic note to the Germanic Diet, complaining of the attacks of the press of Southern Germany upon the President of the Republic. The note has been referred to the speciel committee upon the press. M. de Laguerroontere to-day a portrait, as be calls it, of General Cevaignac, whi c h, compared with the performance of the sam e biographical limner on the President, is that of a satyr to Hyperion. The only sentiment one can feel in perusing a libel of this sort is painful surprise that any Frenchman, not to veldt of a deputy or councillor general, should bo found so dead to ell feelings of delicacy as to use the one-sided license of the press to strike in the face men whose hands are bound. The Prince President gave a dinner on Wednesday at the Palace of St. Cloud to the officers of the 15th Light Infantry in garrison at Courbcvoie, and of the 72nd of the line In garrison at St. Cloud and the fort Mist Valerien. Amongst the guests were General dr It. Arnaud, Minister of Warp General Magnan, Commeder-in-Chief of the army of Paris; and Gen. Wilda d'Eaterhuy. private sick leave. A fact has just been communicated to me from an authentic seerce, which shows in how little serious a light the exercise of universal suffrage is held by the oition. Ate leading city in Lorraine, when the ballot tar the municipal councillors came to be exa mined, 632 tickets were found inscribed with the name'of the prefect's mistress. At the close of the diocesan synod at Cambrai, the archbishop read to his clergy a letter from Cardinal Wiseman relative to the subscription for Mr. New man. His eminence estimates the costs payable by Mr. Newman in his defence against Dr. Ashilli's prosecution at ;12,0001. The letter states that the resources of the English catholic,, ex hausted in great part by the want, of their churches now rising up in all directions, are wholly insuffi cient to meet this demand ; that under these circum stances the catholic* of Oreat Britain felt called upon . to appeal to their brethren on the continent, and in France more especially, foe assistance in a matter so deeply interesting to the whole catholic church. The archbishop announced that subscrip tions from the clergy and the faithful would be re ceived at the secretary's office in his palace. He inscribed his own new at the head of the list for W.

HOLLAND. M. Van Sonsbeck, the Dutch Minister for Foreign Afairs, has resigned. NVhon the Dutch parliament rejected the literary treaty with France, it was sug gested to you that the vote was prompted by dislike of an unpopular minister, and a predetermination to thwart him in everything, rather than from any objection to the measure itself. It is now the general opinion here that the resignation of M. van Sonsbeck will lead to a speedy and satis factory solution of the question. Baron van Zuylen van Nyevelt, an eminent member of the Second Chamber of the States general, is spoken of as likely to be the new minister. ITALY. ROMAN STATES. ROME, Sem 4. Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer has been here two days, having arrived from Florence, accompanied by his secretary, Mr. Fenton, and his nephew, Mr. Lytton, attachl to the legation. Sir Henry will probably remain about a month in the Roman States, during which period he will no doubt succeed, whether caloially or unofficially, in arranging the questions still open to discussion between the British and Papal governments, amongst which is the liberation of Edward Murray from confinement. I mentioned to yoa that a clandestine publication had appeared on the subject of Murray's trial, and the death of the Roman artillet7man, Viola. Several individuals have been arrested in oonsequenee. About a dozen persons, who were recently let out of prison, where they bad been confined for political motives, resolved to make a subscription amongst themselves to alleviate the sufferings and privations of `their fellow-prisoners who had not been so fortunate an to regain their liberty, but the man who was en trusted with the money not only appropriated it to his own use,. but also gave the names of the lab , wilier& to the police, and they have all been arrested. Amongst them are the printers Chiami, Selvage, Trines, and others. The dragoon officers Belli, Ra na:xi, and Capotonni, who were arrested on suspicion of distributing Mazzinian circulars to the soldiers, have been set at liberty after an iniprimament of neerly a year, nothing having been proved against them The Oinks!. di Rome contelin the following noti fication Is oresgoesse el the asseserse to be edger, with the aid et the Froth ream whist the miasma who have committed se may moues ea the high reds brume Rom*, Orr Visible, Viierbo. sad °Mom Crestless, .wag is sesgeried, era he theme perms who have ease neures.

The Princess Ida Coloamy it is said, was carried off in the neighbourhood of Albano by a band of five bandits, armed to the teeth, and delivered by a Swiss gentleman named Brun, who, with nothing but a sword-cane, killed three of the robbers and put the other two to flight. TUSCANY. FLORENCE, Barr. 6. The trial of Ouerrani and his companions has been again interrupted by the illness of the priacipsl pri mmer. On the opening of the court this morning a certificate by the medical attendants ot the prier was read, stating that Gummi was suffering from intes tinal inflammation and could not leave his bed with out great prejudice to his health. The proceedings were therefore deferred until the eth inst., the day after the grand ceremony of the coronation of the Madonna. The Grand Duke has returned to Florence, to be present on this important occasion. The Mcditerraneo of Genoa states that the railroad from the coal mines of Monte Baniboli to the Tuscan coast is to be opened on tho 16th January next, for the conveyance of their produce, which is said to be equal in quality to the best known in Europe.

Temple had received instructions to protect the international treaty. Under such circumstances the injured Briton has sent in a statement to her Majesty's mission at Naples of losses occasioned by the sudden closing of his school. Another English school, directed by Mrs. Bennett, has been threatesed with a visit from the police, who say that a new concordat between Naples and Rome has placed all educational esta blishments in the bands of the church ; and they think proper to interpret the concordat as applying to British subjects. The French fleet has returned from Palermo to Naples. His Majesty's remains at Gaeta. Neapolitan Fives, 107;. Exchange on London, 675. SPAIN. Tho Madrid journals of the 6th contain an an nouncement that a prosecution has been commenced against the Herald°, at the demand of the Minister of Finance, for an article in that journal, containing false representations respecting the finances. The Spanish government continues to act with great severity against the Madrid journals. The rumour is again current that the ministry have decided to disuolve the Chamber. At what pre cise period is not stated. PORTUGAL. LISBON, Sett. 12. Time is confirming tho truth of my previous coni munications--the Count do Sobral is dismissed from the civil governorship of Lisbon, as well as the secre tary, and Count de Taverede is appointed in his place; while the Count de Pont° (I/on John) is ap pointed civil governor of Oporto—a disposition ap pears to dismiss many administrators and Regedores, and supply their places with Cabralistas. Although this does not go to the extent of a unitin with the Cobralistas, yet it may have as bad an effect ; it may cause a return to tho new chamber of men which will give to that party the preponderance, and the effect is perfectly easy to conceive. The Count de Thomar is not a dead letter, as he would have been had regeneration fairly progressed , but is up and stirring, and actually in print, having addressed a declaration to his adherents. He says it is my opinion that we ought to abstain from interfering at the approaching election for deputies, leaving the decision of the electoral contest to the regenerators and to the Junta of Oporto. the state of the country is frightful, every post adds to the list of robberies and assassinations. The squadron which came in on the 28th has sailed. The Arethusa on the 2nd, and the Prince Regent, Rodney, and Leander on the the Sth ; the two former having been towed out by the Archer, which remains. In reporting their arrival I erred as to the Albion, for which the Rodney was mis taken. The Retribution sailed to Madeira imme diately on her arrival to protect British interests. On leaving the British channel the Arethusa happily escaped destruction ; it was blowing fresh when sud denly the rocks off &illy were discovered, upon which she must inevitably have struck, but the den ger war as suddenly averted. It arose from her having mistaken the light on the rock for the signal of the Admiral's mast bead. On the retain of the Retribution the Archer goes to England. An announcement has been made that tho pay ments ordered b y amortisation fund direction will not be im peded; the decree, therefore, will not affect them, nor any sums which the fund produces till the various authorities of the kingdom and islands receive notice of the decree. A routine meeting of the Company of the Douro having taken place, opinions sufficiently hostile to the ends the appointment of the government com mission is supposed to have in view were expressed. Exchange, 64. Discount of Bank of Lisbon notes, 21, I. GERMANY. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Barr. 10. Our Berlin correspondent, in a letter of the above date, mays that his prognostications with regard to the Zollverein affair receive daily confirmation. All parties, he declares, begin to see that the decision of the question lies between Austria and Prussia, and that the coalition has become a mere puppet, the wires of which are pulled in Vienna. pu ppet, Court Zeffieop, which, of all Austria's organs, is regarded as e • with least reserve the wishes of the Vienna ea in says :--" The Zollverein is en anomaly within the Germania esetederatimi ; it must be set snide, in order that Berlin may cease to join a centre for the customs legislation and the commercial intercourse of the majority of German states." "Thu centre must be removed," it continuos, "to Frankfort, where the South German League, In connection with Austria, will do the rest." " Whet Austria aims at," observes our correspondent, "would have the effect of ousting Prussia from Its mot among the great powers and leaving proteetanies without &represen tative in the supreme council of centlasstal poten tates." The appointment conferred, in M. Von Manteuffel's absence, on General Von Radowits, of head of all military education, is mentioned as a se vere blow to the minister's authority. The minister tendered his resignation, which the King refused to accept; but as head of a divided cabinet, the minister cannot impose an energetic policy. General von Radowits has declared that the interest of the church of Rome imposed on him higher duties than those Connected with national ties, and his appointment, therefore, is a portentous sign of the tures. The Pest Owes of Frankfort says that the members at the Coalition of Darmstadt and the Prussian government have been informed that the Austrian cabinet consider the reply of Prussia of the 30th ult. as an absolute rejection of the proposition of the Coalition. A Vienna letter of the Bth states that all the in novations recently introduced in the regime of con vents are to be set aside, and that the Prince Arch bishop of Prague and the Bishop of Gratz are to make what reforms may be necessary, subject to the approval of the Pope. The Boerienhalle states from Mecklenburg- Schwerin that the Burgomuter of Sukow had written to the Grand Duke to announce that ho had had the honour of being received into the order of the Jesuits. The Grand Duke immediately dismissed him from Aloe. The Prauian Gazette contains the following curious statement :—" A criminal of quite a peculiar description has been delivered up to us by a foreign government. He had established himself in one of the most frequented sea-ports am a manufacturer of forged passports, and ho sold his counterfeit articles so cheap thst they generally cost little more than the amount of fees on a bona fide passport, and he forged visas upon passports with extraordinary skill. On his arrest upwards of thirty seals were found in his possession, including thew of the Ministry of the Interior, the presidency of police, the Kammergerklit, the government of Potsdam, &c. All there seals were engraved in a peculiar manner upon slate, and gave excellent black impressions. Unfortunately the punishment for this species of forgery is very light." The Prussian Gaulle of the ith informs WI the' M. Alexander von Humboldt has recovered from a severe illness, and has resumed his scientific pursuits. The same journal states that the King has conferred the order of the Black Eagle on the Duke of Cam bridge. The Frankfort Diet, just before its adjournment, passed a resolution respecting tho legality of the constitution of the city. The Diet declares the Elec tion Law of October, 1848, null and void, and the consequent changes from the provisions of the con- z atittition of 1816 as illegal. It requires the Senate to restore the former system, the Diet reserving its right of revising the alterations, according to Art. 61 l of the final act of the Treaty of Vienna. RUSSIA.

THE SOUTH AMERICAN MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, SEPTEMBER 11. The Royal Brazilian mail packet Teviot, Captain Onslow, from the Brazils, arrived here to day, and landed her mails under the charge of I.ieut. Veit* R.N., admiralty agent. Iler dates are:— Buenos Ayres, August 3; Monte Video, sth; Rio de Janeiro, 14th; Bahia, 18th; Pernambuco, 2 tat ; St. Vincent, 29th; Teneriffe, Sept. 3; Madeira, 4th; Lisbon, 7th. The most important points in the intelligence from Buenos Ayres are a decree requiring the bank to furnish the government with necessary funds, the resignation of Dr. 1)on Vicente Lopez, and the ' revolutionary movements in the provinces of San Juan and Santa Fe. 'the following decree was published in the semi official Progreso : Ministry of Finance, Buenos Ayres, July 21st, 1852. It being indispensably necessary to provide for the pay ment of the civil and military lists, the government, in ex reds° of its faculties, adopting the expedient most conve nient for the interests of the country, and impelled by the ' necessity invoked, has secordrd and decrees: Art. 1. The bank shall pay at sight, two drafts of the government, for the sum of ten million current money, from the funds it has in its coffers belonging to the public credit. 2. On the supposition that the bank may not have these funds dispo sable, from having employed them in the diicount of pri vate bills, it shell advance the sum necessary to meet said drafts, from the notes that may be ready for the purpose of renovation, and shalt liquidate the ad vance it may make, in proportion as the bills full due. 3. To prevent the commercial interest from suffering from this operation, the bank may renew fur one single occasion, for one-half the amount of the bills that fall due. 4. The bank shall publish weekly a report of the progress of this operation. 5. The ten millions are forthwith destined to the payment of the civil and miliary lists, fr the past months. G. The quota assigned by law shall continue to be remitted without any alteration to the eoffers of the sinking fund of the public credit. 7. This decree shall be oppor tunely submitted to the legislative power. 8. Let it be communicated, published and inserted in the official reles ter.—Loczz, JUAN MARIA GUTIERREZ, CART() CACERRS, VICINTI F. Lopez, 1 . .1/18 L. DOXINOUIZ. The British Packet remarks on this measure: On the score of principle, we regret the necessity that compels the executive to interfere, directly or indirectly, with the operations of the Bank ; and we anticipate consi derable inconvenience to the commercial and industrial closes in the abrupt suspension of the bank necummoda tints to which they have been accustomed. On one point all parties seam agreed, that a new emission of paper would be worse than useless. It is generally understood that an unsuccessful appeal was made to the commercial body; although we are left in the dark as to the real or alleged causes of the failure. The measure adopted, of drawing on the existing resources of tho Bank to the amount of ten millions, may be regarded as a compromise of the difficulty, a middle course between a loan and an emission, the effects and consequences of which re main to be seen. In the letter to General Urquiza, tendering his resignation, 1)r. Lopez says : Wills and interests being ill harmonised, and from the want of unity in the general views to arrive at those molts 'whereby I hoped to place the rule of public interest in pre cedence to all individual aspirations, my situation has become am unpleasant as impotent. My authority is always called in question ; and in such circumstances I am bound to hasten to acquaint your Excellency that you may deign to consider the matter as a definitive resolution which I have adopted, of separating myself from public life, return ing to your Excellency the authority which you conferred ;T on i me, assumed in the name of the Treaty of San Urquiza replies by accepting tho resignation with regret, and assuming the temporary direction of the province, assisted by a council, but only for the time necessary to reconstitute authority. The provisional government of San Juan addresses a manifesto tothe people, in which it denounces the Go vernor Proprietary, General Benavides, as a mere crea ture and tool of Roma; and on the 13th issued 'formal fiat of deposition against him, charging him with every possible and imaginable crime, and prohibiting him from returning to the territory of the province for the term of one year, and even then not without a special and express sanction and permission of the authorities. General Urquiza's minister had replied to these proceedings in an energetic letter. In Santa Fe General Juan Pablo Lopes had headed a movement, the avowed object of which was to upset the government of Senor Crespo; but after some partial successes in the district of Rosario, he had been abandoned by his partisans, and, according to the latest accounts, had retired to the interior with some fifty followers. A decree was issued by the government of Buena Apes, on the 20th of July, in which the government, desirous that the owners and operatives of print ing establishments may not suffer further pre judice, and with the decided determination of protecting everything that may tend to the civili sation and advancement of the country, counteract ing at the same time the licence whereby the press may be abused, orders the chief of . police to remove the seals placed on the printing offices, allowing the continuation of their labours, and permits the editors of periodicals to treat with out impediment of everything concerning the im provement and progress of so ciety, commercial and administrative questions, matters of finance, public works, education, and also discreetly and moderately to criticise the organic dispositions of the govern ment, and sciences in general. But in case they think proper to engage in questions of domestic policy, such publications shall not be allowed to take place without the approbation of persons, enlight ened and practically liberal in the opinion of the community and of the government. For this purpose a special jury of the press is formed, which is charged to propend to the realisation of the aforementioned views. The Governors of the provinces of Salta and Jugay and the Minister Plenipotentiary of Cordoba had adhered to the compact of San Nicholas. A note had been received from the government of Tucuman, an nouncing the deposition of General Gutierrez, and the substitution of Don Manuel A. Espinosa, as go vernor and captain-general of the province. The Chamber of Representatives had expressed an un qualified of the compact of San Nicolas, and passed a vote of thanks to General Urquiza for the invaluable services be has rendered the re public.

The en•siderable demand fur the interior provinces that characterised some of the preceding months has received • deplorable check from the unhappy political excitement manifested in several of the provinces, and the consequent indecision of those engaged in that important deportment of our national trade. 111 provided as we know the interior markets in general to be, the very limited remittances of the past month are doubly annoying, in view of the consi derable supplies actually arrived, and the formidable announcements, that we mast now expect to be peering in apace. As some mouth' must necessarily elapse ere tran quillity and confidence are restored, we are not without serious apprehensions of another glutted market, an evil too recent to be forgotten or lost sight of by importers, a n d eventually prejudicial to all parties concerned. Withal, it is proper to note, that during the teal few day s purchasers have come forward more freely, and that very conaiderable taanaactions have been effected, chiefly in the matt importations, both for the interior end for the local eousempttoi. Present prices, especially fur the great lead ing article*, can hardly be termed remunerative; and whether they are destined to advance a little, or recede rtill farther from that impi.rtant point, most depend on the course of importation. If heavy and promiscuous supplies are forced in, holders have no choice but to continue clear ing off, especially the descriptions adapted to toe interior demand. This necessity is enhanced. by the stringent Mai. tation of time, for the payment of our heavy import duties very injudiciously adhered to by the Cunto -house. a i ; thine* now stand we cannot compete with Monte Video; and if the present policy of high duties and nu acconimed e . p.i t h .drsitt aon,d2uona.tecouris. Bills tion as to time lie persisted in, our customers from the inte rior provinces must repair to the civet eni,eirium ; a blun der that may be coueunitnated in a few months, r.lthough it may require years to rectify it.

Thin limited amount of business done after so considerable a reduction in prin., augurs ill for the future of this market, and a still further di elm.• may perhaps be anticipated after the departure of the packet, especially in European qualities. At the same time prices are already sufficiently low to admit of exten,ive operations for the States, and we have reasons fur believing that large pur chases will be made soon atter the departure of the steamer. On the whole the market is in a state of gicat uncertainty, and it might only mislead were we to venture to give en opinion u regards the future. THE UNITED STATES. AItRIVAL OF THE CANADA. LIVERPOOL, SATUXDAY Evairixo. At half-past six this evening the royal mail steam ship Canada, Captain Lang, arrived in the Mersey, from Boston and Halifax, which former port she left on the Ist instant, and Ilalifax on the morning of the 3rd. In addition to the usual mails from the ' United States, Canada, Newfoundland, &c., the Canada carries 48 passengers (including sever a l of i cers of the 72nd, 48th, and 92nd regiments), and ' 171,480 dolt. in specie on freight. On the 27th ult. the ('resident's message, commu nicating the additional papers concerning the Lobos Islands, was read in the senate this munimg. 'fbese documents contain nothing new or of much impor itance, and only exhibit the official action of the go vernment upon the case already disclosed to the pub lic. Mr. Webster, in communicating the correspon dence to the President, stabs that the records of the department do not furnish any evidence of the exist ence of the postscript to Captain Jewett's letter as published, asking hint to suspend publicity for a tune. The first letter in the series is front Captain Jewett to Mr. Webster, dated June 2, asking him to provide protection to American citizens who may desire to take guano from the Lobes Islands. The se. Icondletteris Mr. Webster's reply to Jewett, dated June 5, which is familiar to the public. The third letter, from Mr. Webster to Mr. Graham, recommending him to send a national vessel to the Lobos Islands to protect American citizens who may properly resort to them, urges as a reason that the shipp:og pro ceeding from the Atlantic States to California and Oregon will derive advantage from taking return cargoes of guano. The fourth letter is from Mr. Graham to Mr. Webster, dated June 8, in which he informs him that he has instructed Capt. INl`Canley to send one of the vessels attached to his squadron to the Lobos Islands. The fifth letter is from Mr. Graham to Captain M`Cauley, dated June 16, in which ho encloses a copy of !kir. Webster's request and other papers, and instructs him to send the re quired vessels to the Islands. He confers no discre tion and barely issues the formal order. The sixth letter is from Mr. Webster to Captain Jewett, dated August 21, in which he acknowledges a letter from the latter of the 16th August, enclosing certain papers. He informs him, that since the date of the previous communication from the department, of June 6th. the Peruvian go vernment had asserted jurisdiction over the Lobos Islands, and that in 1842 it had issued two decrees prohibiting foreign vessels from taking guano from islands near the coast, under the penalty of confisca tion, without a license from that government. Under these circumstances, Mr. Webster tells him it is expected that the vessels which have proceeded thither under his (Captain Jewett's) auspices, will not make use of the arms which they were provided with fur the purpose of forcibly resisting the Peruvian authorities, as such resistance would be an act of private war, and •could not bo countenanced. He tells him, also, that the naval commander of the United States was instructed to abstain from .pro tecting any vessels of the United btates visiting these islands for purposes forbidden by the decrees of Peru. Mr. Webster also reminds him that some of his previous statements had misled the department, and were likely to do so. The seventh letter is front Mr. Webster to Mr. Kennedy, dated August 24, asking him to suspend the orders issued by Mr. Graham in compliance with his (Mr. Webster's) letter of the sth of June, and also requesting hire to issue instructions to the naval commander to abstain ' from aiding or abetting any citizens of the United States who may forcibly rand the execution of the laws of Peru by the authorities of that &public. The eighth and last letter is front Mr. Kennedy to Capt. 31.Cauley, dated August 25, directing him to sus pend execution of the previous Orders. In referring to the Lobos Islands question theNtio York Courier and Inquirer says : It Is certainly very much to be regretted that orders were ever issued to protect American ships in earryies away guano front the Lobos Islands ; but before we con- I demo the rescinding of such order, we mut inquire upon I what It was based. Did or did not our mercnant‘ who applied for such protection, expressly state to the apart ment, that up to the time of their application, or until a very short time previously, Peru had never set up any claim to ownership of the Lobos Island ; and did they not ask of Mr. Webster his opinion upon the facts as presented by themselves? Was not Mr. Webster's opinion elpressly based upon the case as thus presented ; and was not our navy ordered to give the protection required upon this as sumed statement of facts ? Then follow(d a remmunication from the Peruvian minister, showing that by a special de ores issued in 1842-10 years ago—Peru forbed the removal of guano from the Lobos Islands and claimed to be the rightful owner of them. The production of this decree en tirely removed the bids upon which protection was claimed and granted; sad Bs essastasace Mr. Webster, as it was his duty to do, called Open the navy deparment to rewind the instructions already issued upon a inisappeekensies of the facts of the ease. Of this fact he immediately advised the merchants interested; but at the same time, he proceeded to demonstrate to the Peruvian Minister, not only that the claims of Peru were not so clear as he supposed, and that this government de nied her claim in foto, but for the present would not attempt to enforce the claims of the whole world, to the deposits upon these isolated rocks. Now, in our judg ment, the merchants who are about to sutler, have nobody to blame but themselves, if, its is all, ged, they withheld from our government the fact will known to them, that Peru had issued a decree, ten year* ago, prohibiting the removal of guano from the Lobos Islands. To our minds it is very clear, that as soon as our government discovered it had then mi , led in regard to the frets of the case, it was its outy promptly to change its course ; and we rejoice that it had the manliness so to do. The United States Congress was adjourned on the 31st ultimo, and a large amount of business had to be postponed. It was the prevailing impression in New York that the fishery question was adjusted.
