TISK plot of the Presidential election is beginning to open in the United States. To a foreigner who hes watched the process once, there is some amuse ment in watching it a second time. Being aware why and how candidates are selected and nominated, and having learned how to look with sufficient 'u prise, amusement, and compassion, on the nominee of the ascendant party, he is like one who has read a play in his library, and is about to see it pre sented on the stage, to an audience to whom it is all new and strange. If he should chance to discover, however, as the plot unfolds itself, that the audience know quite as much about it as himself, and that, moreover, they bare all been instructed how to receive it, if even they had not a band in the making. his interest cools so far that he mispec:s he is growing tired of stage play. The im pending Presidential election may be very interesting to a large number of American citizens ; it is certainly not so to all; and it is growing wearisome to many foreign observers. If there was a moment's doubt lest month about the likeness of this election to all enlace the close of the first great series of Presidents, there is none now ; none since the nes' we in Eng land got by the mail just arrived—that the nominee of the democratic party delivered a eulogistic address over the body of HENRY CLAY. When the democratic party united in the nomina tion of Fa.tstu.lN PIERCE for the Presidency, those American newspapers which are written for Euro pean eyes.on both sides the Atlantic. and many Euro peans writing home from the other side of the Atlan tic, declared that nothing was known of FaIN\LIN Pawl: in political life ; that this was a great advan tage, as it would facilitate an union of sec tions in his appointment ; and that the candidate would enjoy a singular privilege in beginning political life (the conspicuous part do at least). fresh and free--able to show what he could do while untrammelled by any prior doings of his own before the eyes of the world. There is something terribly false about all this. If the men who have said it know no better, they are unfit to report of Amirican politics; and if they do know bettee. the worst spirit of American politics has en tered into them. It is clear to the most superficial observation that no man could be agreed upon by the leaden of all sections of the democratic party, whose political opinions were not very well known to them (however little to the world generally), and over whose political action they would not be very sure of being able to exercise a sufficient control. A.gain, it is clear that the whole democratic party in the southern states would have opposed a New Hamp shire candidate with all their power, if they had not been sure that he was no northern man in die under stood sense of the term. The fact of his having gaited his title of General in the Mexican war is enough. It is nonsense to talk of the fresh and free position of a President who left the halls of Congress to go and invade Mexico. Yet, not only was this talked of, but more than one reporter of American affairs has said that if the Whig nomination had fallen on any of the candidates but General Scorn, the subject of slavery would hare been buried in silence forever. Gene ral SCOTT being nominated, the free soil party may, it is said, once more make itself heard. As if the same cause which made it speak before would not impel it to speak again. As if the negro, having found advocates while his case was one of humanity alone, would nut find champions by tens of thousands now that his slavery has extended to half the insti tutions of the United States, eating away the liberty of speech and of the Feet, and placing the white", high and low, in a condition of disability such as it is wonderful that men of the Anglo-Saxon race will endure. It was in the first step that the difficulty lay of introducing the subject of slavery into discus eion. By the irresistible force of circumstances this was done : the force has gone on augmenting ever since; it is now the one spring of political and social action in the United States; and if there arc men who really believe that such a force can be silently extinguished, they are not exactly qualified to draw the horoscope of the next Presidentship. Meantime, the plot is becoming . unfolded. Expe rienced observers have been saying for some time that General PIERCE, the Great Unknown, would be soon taking some opportunity of making himself known as a pro-slavery man, in some gentle sense or another. He has everything to gain by doing so, and nothing to lose. 'Nothing to lost, because the anti.slavcu. men of the United States know that he was one of the invaders of Mexico, and hare there fore no mmildence in him to lay aside. More over, the Nand core of the anti-slavery body con eiete lift who will have nothing to do with the election of a President, or with any political action whatever, while the pro-slavery clauses of the constitutioo—He three brief obnoxious provisions— remain unrepealed. General Plazas has nothing to lose by letting tat the secret that everybody knows —that be is a preolavery man ; while he may gain something by resaserlag the southern citizens, who dread the assmsios of a northern man.

Ho toast no ]eager be rafted the minima Fagriarr Prszcz. Be has avowed the au thing which it concerns the world to know ; and all the rest is of very little con sequence beyond the bounds of his own party. It concerns the world to know thus much, because the relations of America with Europe are, and must ever be while slavery endures, determined by the state of that institution within her boundaries. It concerns the world to know thus much, because while the supreme ruler of the Republic favours slavery, there will be annexations like those of Texas, aggressive wars like that against Mexico, piratical expeditions against the dominions of allies, like the Cuban foray. It concerns the world to knew thus math, because, while slavery is uphold as a national institution, the Americans cannot form that alliance with us of which their newspapers and oars are begin ning to speak largely. Paining over now the question of the fitness of a soldiery raised and trained for pro-slavery purposes to encounter the armies of the despots of Europe, it is enough to say that the Americans have work enough and danger enough at home to occupy their minds and bespeak their arms, till the controversy about the tradition of fugitives is settled. The boding signs of their first revolution were not more clew and solemn than those of the change which is now to 00111•—• change which must be accomplished before American arms can be carried anywhere in vindication of anything but slavery. The surrounding of the court' in Boston with chains is as solemn an event as the attempted seizure of the powder at Marble Head. The rescue of the fugitives at Syracuse is as significant an incident as the throwing the tea into Boston harbour. The weeping crowd who prayed on the wharf when a slave was carried off before daybreak are as likely to remember the day as the assembled citizens who followed the coffin of the boy killed among his imowbells—the first victim of the American revolution. The treachery of WEBSTER is as revolting to the best men of his nation as the treason of ARNOLD, and will stand by its side in history. The refusal of the abolitionists to swear to the Union matches well with the refusal of their fathers to swear fealty to GEORGE 111. The cause is as sacred, and more unquestionable; the men areas brave and constant, in the modern case as in that of the last century. They are called by the same abusive names that their patriot fathers bore, and by advocates of despotism who use the same language of false security now as then. The present conflict is, thus far, chittp a moral one: and so was the other. The fighting made a much smaller part of it than is supposed by those who have not read the narrative. The bane was List morally decided, and then came fighting • end so it may law now. That we - cani - oi know. What we do know is, that the slavery ques tion has made disnsionista of soma of the very choicest morally, politically, intelleettudly, and socially—of American citizens; it determines the divisions of territories and the constftutions of sove reign states; it keeps up a capstan jealousy and irritation among .the older Kites; It WORM the press, and puts a padlock on the lips of republican citizens; it is shaking all the churches to their very foundations; it is making a Cuban banditti of a large portion of the young men. It is affecting the move ment of every political and social question in the great republic which has invoked the observation of the world; and therefore it is of consequence to the world to know from himself what to expect from FRANKLIN Pince. But what could the world expect from him, it may be asked, seen supposing that an anti-slavery man could be President ? There is no saying what a man of a high order could or could not do in a position so difficult and we need not discuss it now, as no such man is in question. What General Ptisace has let us know is, that there is to be from him no check to the ravage of this mighty controversy ; that it is to run its course. just as if he did not ex ist—just as if the Presidential chair was to be filled—not by a man, with liberties embodied in his person, and signified by his title, and claimed by words on his tongue, but by a bundle of imple ments—whip, chains, and branding-iron, bound up into a trophy. It is much for Europe and the world at large to know that, in all probability, the United States are to go on for another term of four years from next March as they are going on now, tending more and more rapidly towards something very like a revolution which tlicy must settle at home before they can offer to help to settle any abroad. MODE TT has been understood to be a prominent feature of the Christian character. It has been ex pected of sincere Christians that, deeply impressed with the conviction of human weakness and falli bility, they should on all occasions abstain from boasting ofthcir gifts and graces. Pharisees might boast that they " were not as other men, neither as this publican ; and fifth-monarchy men might arro gantly assume the designation of saints; but in real Christians a modest estimate of their own merits was looked for. The Marquis of BLANDFORD is superior to such weak scruples. He told the Middlesex elec tors fr•.>m the hustings at Brentford that he was " quite prepared to accept the denomination of a saint." He told them more—that he was " prepared to act up to it." On good terms with himself is the Marquis of LILA:VI/I'ORD, that is clear; whether he be a Pharisee or a fifth-monarchy man tune will show. And a very austere saint is the Marquis of BLAND. FORD—austere to the taste u a sloe. The poet Coweita has generally been regarded as rather pre cise and severe in his notions. Yet COWPER could not only run riot in a joke on indifferent matters—as witness his " John Oilpiu"—he took such delight in VINCENT BOURNE'S pleasantry about the church haunting daw, that ho translated VINCENT'S Latin verses on the bird who is-- A groat frequenter of the church, Where bishop-like be finds a perch, And dormitory too. But the serious Marquis of BIANDFORD shrinks with horror from the levities in which COWPER in dulged. lie protests that he has a horror of jokes in general: he has often " heard with pain the jests of " Mr. OSBORNE in the (louse of Commons. But above everything was the Marquis scandalised with Mr. Ossonst's venturing to turn jackdaws into jest, as VINCENT BOrRNE and COWPER had done before him. " What else," asked the Marquis, " is the allusion to dews cawing on the steeple, hut a reflection on our religion, as also on myself in con nexion with it ?' This is a question that the Mar quis himself can best answer. It must indeed be confessed that there is something very daw-like in his religions professions: he cries out "No Popery when in reality he means " Protection," jut as the jackdaw keeps cawing like a preacher on his perch, while his eye is all the while thievishly bent on a bit of bread or cheese. But it is the Marquis him self who has fitted the cap on his own head, and there is an old proverb to the effect that they who do so ought to be allowed to wear it. But the jackdaws are not the only species of the brute creation in whom the Marquis takes a family interest.: When taunted with being a strict game preserver, he " owned the soft impeachment." "As for the game-laws," said the Marquis, "I think that game is a species of property as much as any thing else—as much as chickens are." The Marquis can see no difference between the partridge, which is fed on his tenant's corn, and the chicken which is fed at his own expense. He claims an equal right in both. He loves his partridges, and would fain gather them, as a hen does its chickens, under his I wing. The Marquis takes a livelier interest in daws, chickens, and partridges, than in men. And upon this his peculiar idiesyneracy, perhaps, he founds his claim to represent Middlesex. Middlesex is the sanctuary or asylum of the brute creation. In Middlesex, dogs arc exempted by act of parlia ment from drawing carts, an exemption they do not enjoy when they have passed its limits. Standing on the bridge at UxU., you may see • tramp come from the Middlesex aide, trundling his wheel barrow, with his dog lounging easily behind him. No sooner does the tramp reach the keystone of the bridge however than the dog is harnessed to the wheel barrow,and with a few extra lashes, to make up for lost time, scourged into Bucks. The Marquis who has such a fellow-feeling for jackdaws, would scorn to sit for any county in which the brute-creation is lees cared for than in Middlesex. The Marquis's political creed u expounded from the huebli waa brief, but—unlike most of the Derbyite aM conics of faith—perfectly intelligible. He will *WM the Game laws in all their strin g; he win not lidos to any proposal for ex t the wasp t hs will not concede to the poorer dams Ihs gssissliew of the ballot.

The Alexandrian steamers now go out and return in a month, including all stoppages. At the present time the Indian Mad is only sent awe a month from Southampt on , nex t year it will be tent every fortnight.

THE PRESIDENTS PROGRESS. PARIS, MONDAT Evame. the - AT Eras I shall pressed to give you eabstanoe of the ealistases elf the telegraphic despatches which have 'bees ressived from Strasbourg to-day, so as to avoid we seal as possible the repetitions with which they abound, aid the constant official assurances that the Prince has been received everywhere with demon stration' of enthusiasm. After the ceremony of the inauguration of the railway . there took place a pro cession of cars, filled with girls in the Aiutian cos tume. 120 of these vehm'es passed in suocesidon before the Prince, and their fair occupants threw flowers at his feet as they drove by. Each car was attended, by men, also attired in the costume of the Alsatian peasantry. This ceremony, which appears to have been considerably dis concerted by the incessant rain, lasted till four in the afternoon. The Prince then received at dinner the special envoys of Prussia, Bavaria, Wurtemburg, Hesse-Darmstadt, Baden, and Switzerland, who were 'sent by their respective governments to offer him their compliments. The generals and high functionaries were also present. After dinner fireworks were let off from the bastion opposite the prefecture. Not withstanding the heavy rain, a considerable crowd remained assembled before the prefect's mansion, and received with acclamations the President, when he appeared on the balcony with the Princess Stephanie of Baden. At night the incomparable spire of the cathedral, illuminated with lamps of the prismatic colours, and Bengal lights, presented a fairy-like spectacle. Next morning, Monday (this day), the Pre- I sulent,mounted on horseback,and proc•eeded.accompa nied by the envoys and a numerous and brilliant staff, to the review and the marimuvres on the Rhine. The weather was more propitious. The troops filed off before the Prince, who bestowed de corations upon several soldiers. Then the engineers threw some bridges over the little arm of the Rhine, and later a bridge of pontoons was thrown across the main stream. Immense crowds of spectators were assembled on the banks. A handsome tent was erected for the President. The Prince then crossed over to the Badish territory, where he was received with all honours. At Kebl he reviewed the Badish garrison. He then returned, escorted by the envoys and his staff, to the prefecture at Strasbourg, which he reached shortly after noon. In the state railway carriage the President was ac companied on Saturday by Gen. St. Arnaud, minister of war ; M. de Target, minister of foreign affairs; M. Lefebvre Durufle, minister of public works: M. Bineau, minister of Finance; and the Prince's aides de-cmap. Ten other carriages composed the train of hamar, the locomotive being driven by Mr. Edwards, the engineer-in-chief of the working stock. In the other carriages of the presidential train were to be seen, M. Achille Fould, ex-minister of finance; Ge neral Schramm, Liautev, Dulac, Carrelet, and de Lourmel ; Col. Fleury ; Lommandant de Toulongeon, Capt. Teacher de la Pageric ; the prefect of police, &e. Several foreigners of distinction also accompanied the President ; amongst them were the Princes Stir- Bey, sons of the sovereign of Wallachia, and MM. David and Salmons. The ministers of justice, the interior, public instruction , marine, and - policz, as well u M. Baroche, who had accompanied the Presi dent to the terminus, there took leave of him just , before the train started. At Meer, the Bishop of Menx, who had'arrived from Rome the evening before, made a short address to the President : " I arrive," said he, amongst other things, " from Rome; and the holy father has ex pressed to me how happy lie was at the sentiments which animate the French government, and at the present state of France." /4 Chalons loud shouth were raised when the Prince took the arm of the bishop (an old officer of the Imperial guard), and proceeded towards the spot where stood the horse which was in readiness for him to mount in order to review the troops. At Told, a young girl made a speech to the Presi dent, in which she alluded to Joao of Are having sought divine inspiration in that town. At the closing point of the first day's journey, namely, Nancy, where the President arrived at forty minutes past seven in the evening, a salvo of 101 guns announced his entry into the railway station. He was there received by the mayor, deputy-mayor, and municipal council. Part of the troops of the garrison, who were drawn up in the court as a guard of honour, presented arms, and all the bells in the place rang out a merry peal. Immediately on ar riving, the President proceeded to the prefecture in an open carriage drawn by eight horses. The general commanding the division and the command ing officer of the department rode on either side of the carriage. As night approached, the official houses and public monuments were illuminated, but I hear that the illuminations in private houses were very rare. As soon as the President reached the prefecture the official receptions commenced. After these had terminated, the President received Oen. Herchten felt, commander-in-chief of the Prussian forces in the Rhenish provinces, and tho aides-de-camp, who had received from the King of Prussia the mission of complimenting the head of the state on the occasion of his being near the frontier of Germany. After the receptions the President dined at the prefecture. At table he had Mine. de Sivry, the wife of the pre fect, on his right, and the envoy extraordinary of the Rhenish provinces on his left. At the close of the dinner there was a brilliant display of fire-works. At ten o'clock the President went to the Hotel-de- Ville, where a ball took plate. About 3,000 persons were present ; and the Prince opened the ball with Mine. de Sivry as his partner. He remained at the ball until 12 o'clock; and, on leaving the Hotel-de-Ville, as on proceeding to it, he was saluted with repeated seise of " Vice Napoleon.' Ratios has boa given that the electric telegraph is ma to Strasbourg he private despatches. papers, particularly . the Sisele, ocallne=s sa ikes ef the President's journey to the narrowest Ilssits. It is new given oat in a Marseilles journal that the President will visit Marseilles between the 15th and 20th September. The prefect of the Batches du Rhone will receive him at the boundary of his de partment. A steamer to be in waiting in the Berra sheet of water, will enable him to inspect the public works going on in the neighbouring part of the Rhine. The President will make his entry into Marseilles at night by the Rae d'Aix, and will be lighted by torches. The streets through which he will pass to the prefecture will be illuminated, and lined with troops on either side. He will stay at the prefecture during his visit. On the day after his arrival he will lay the fi rst stone of the Hotel Dien, the Bourse, and the Hotel of the Military Division, and visit the fountain of the plain of St. MicheL In the evening there will be a grand ball at the Hotel de Ville. On the ensuing day there will be a review in the Prado, and a nautical fête. The men-of-war and steamers in the part of Toulon will be sent for for ' the occasion. After the nautical fête the Prince will return to Marseilles by water, landing by torchlight at Canebiere. In the evening he will attend the Theatre Hemmen. The Monacaur publishes the returns of the receipts of the customs and the indirect taxes for the lut month, which amount to 11,764,436 fr., showing an increase of 2,607,924 fr. over the corresponding month of 1861, and of 1,350,063 fr. over that of 1850. The receipts for the first six months of 1832 amounted to 69,002,964 fr., being an increase over the cures pending period of 1861 of 14,347,803 k., and of 11,441.321 fr. over that of 1850. The Moniteur also publishes a table showing the movement of naviga tion during the first six months of the present year as compared with that of the corresponding period in 1861 and 1850. In 1862 the number of vessels entering French ports was 8,390, representing toge ther 1,114,103 tons; and in 1861 it was 8,113; and 1,021,007 tons, and in 1850, 7,176 and 909,014 tons. The number of vessels leaving was in 1862, 8,178, measuring together 954,843 tots; in 1831, t 1,858, and 970,613 tons; and in 1850, 7,561, and 798,191 tons.

(TROY AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT.) STRASBOURG, SUNDAY MORNING. We left the President last night at Nancy, and came on here in a special train, which brought us to the end of our journey somewhat before mid night. We are relieved from the predatory proposals of a flock of touters, who were anxious to provide ua with beds at 30 francs the night, by an admirable intervention of the municipality, in virtue of which we have been quartered in good hotels at a reasonable rate. We were shaken betimes out of our slumbers by the swinging of the huge cathedral bell, and issuing forth into the market-place, we found the streets already thronged with visitors of the Pte, both native and emners from afar. All Alsatia seems to have sent hither her queer old-fashioned costumes, among which the Persian bucks move with ill-die. 'ambled smiles of surprise. The tanned wives and daughters of substantial farmers from the Rhine move about in their barbarous finery, all stream ing with ribbons, and glittering with gold lace, gazing with a rustic gape at the preparations for the fete, of which the most promi nent feature at this moment seems to be two enor mous streamers, bearing the inscription of " Repub lique Francaise," which wave lazily about their masts erected in the Plebe do Gutemberg. The President is expected about noon ; but there pre vails apparently among the population little or no enthusiasm for the self-styled saviour of France, and, if his reception is not likely to be disturbed by any cries in favour of the republic, neither, to judge from the indifferent aspect of the people, and the tone of the shopkeepers with whom we have talked, is it destined to be warmer than last year. As the post ' office here closes before noon, I can, however, for the present only send you the general surmise as to the nature of the President's welcome. As I suppose that your regular Paris correspon dent will have given you, from the series of tele graphic despatches transmitted to the capital from every successive stage of the President's progress, a tolerable outline of the decorations, acclamations, and declamations, it will be my object in this first letter to convey some general notion of the important line of railway which has been just opened. You are aware that already a great portion of the line has been delivered to circulation. In fact, the only new section open to the public upon this occasion is that between Nancy and Strasbourg. The total length of the rail way from Paris to Strasbourg is 311 English miles. The cost of its construction will have amounted to 10,320,0001., of which 4,800,0001. will have been fur nished by the state. The company, in consideration of the extension of their grant from 43 years to 99, have engaged to contribute 400,000/. towards the construction of the branch from Blessac to Oray,and to execute at their own expense within four years a branch from Metz to Thiouville, which is to be pro longed to the frontier in the direction of Luxembourg. The grant of the Strasbourg railway was made in 1845, so that the execution of this great undertaking has been completed in six years and a half, notwith standing the difficulties arising from political and commercial crises. The section from Paris to Meux was inaugurated July 10, 1849 ; from Meux to Epernav, August 21, 1819; from Epernay to Cha lons, November 10, 1819; from Chalons to Vitry, September 5, 1850; from Vitry to Bar-le-Due, May 29, 1851: from Bar to Commercy, November 18, 1831; from Commercy to Nancy, June 19, 1852. On the other side the section from Strasbourg to Sarre bourg was opened on May 2 0, 1815. GERMANY. BERLIN, JULY 16.

The French ambassador had commenced proceedings to obtain just reparation for the bad treatment which had been inflicted on a French subject, and there is every rea son to hope that the affair will be terminated in a satisfac tory manner. The English embassy had demanded a striking reparation for the attack on the passengers and crew of the Victory. The Turkish government readily opened an in quiry, and promised every reparation ; but in the interval an English artist, M. Preciod, was ill-treated in thelbazaar. His countrymen, seeing is this new attack a regular inten tion of insulting the English, have presented a petition to the English charge d'Affaires, a copy of which has been sent to the English government, demanding redress. The peti tion was signed by more than 160 names. Vbe Court. OSBORNE, MONDAT. Her Majesty, Prince Albert, the Duchess of Kent, the Prim of Wales, and the Princess Royal attended divine ser vice yesterday morning at Osborne. The service was per formed by the Rev. Mr. Sedgwick.
