SION NATI' AT LONDON BRIDGE. T Dat—lforataL IL Sft ..--AltaraDlL SI 6 ! 1 . 111 . Toresassw—llardaL IL lia—.--Atunrla. 16 . 3'n. LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE S. Tiernen we exhorted the English Government to act with prudence and forbearance: to-day we have to exhort the people of America to hold the hands of their Ooveremeet. With the simereet attachment to whatever is good in Amoeba biotite limas, we ban steadily cherished a cerdlal t for the citizens who form the real strength ef the re public; and this sttschmest and respect have sae disposed es to pot the beet ecestreedoe on American acts, and to hope the best Is every ma of doOthl political appearances. But if the best edam' ma tinee to allow themselves, se at present, to be misre presented by their moral GOTerelieldi they will oblige us to speak of the Government as U it were the nation. If they desire peas as earnestly es we know that they do, they .at exert themselves, im mediately and vigorously, to restrain the clique of bellies and buccaneers at Washington and in Central America—in the centre and on the outskirts of their national territory—sod provide a better Government eext November. The world be had great patience with the breggertism of successive Mamba spokesmen, in and out of the Administration ; but there is a point beyond which the bad political morels and offensive international ▪ of these men cannot be endured. The true politiesl posterity of the great men who founded the republic should have long ego taken are of their national integrity and reputation. They gave way to disgust and. discouragement, and to the diffi culties imposed by their "peculiar institution ;• and the consequence is that a Government near its expi retion—a Government despised and repudiated by almost every political party and every moseimations citizen in the States—ha brought them to the verge of a war from which British moderation alone has thus far saved them, and from which they most now save themselves. They will do so. There will keno war. Bet precautions most be taken against a re spire of inch a situation es the present, U the repub lic of the United States is to preserve its rank among the nations which recognise the principles of inter =basal morality. The republic contains men— whole classes of men—who are on the highest level of civilbstion, in its highest memo of intel lectual and moral development. It contains, eleo, seen and cleanse of men who see below any civilisation which in Europe is repre sented by political expression and setice—a large proportion of them being actually European outcast edventents, if not worm The question now bee daftly pressing is, whether the better climes will slaw themselves to be manned by the lower, taking the scamancese of that rapreeentation or whether they will speak and set for themselves, shooing State Legislatures, a Congress, end a Fede ani Administration, which may be a more true ex peados than any recent ones of the genuine Amin e= mind sad will. If this is done, all may yet be retrieved. If it is not does, the further retrogression of the republic from its early principles and promise will be • melancholy sysetecile to all good men. But in say ease there will be at present no war. The great data of the Northern States, from which, almost szelesively, the resources of men and mosey for a foreign war mat be drawn, are not thinking of going to war with Ragland. This I. not enagh : what is wanted of them is more vigorous thiakiss @pease going to war. When the close pree son of the crisis makes itself felt, the Northern men will hold eaventioes like the celebrated HARTFORD OORTIOITIOX of 1814, which consisted of delegates from all the New Ragland States, met together to demesnes the defects of the Federal Constitution, which permitted them to be bad into a war which they did sot dean or cars shout, and by which they sulked ereelly. A =kiss peace put a stop to their week of amending the soestitation. It will be finished new if the Pessunir threats= the Northam States with damage to their marneree, danger from their vanity to Canada, a fearful coot of life and treasure, sad the interruption of their agreeable relations with Europe. Before they submit to each evils they will Inquire what it is all for: and thee discovering that they are to any en, by their ma and money, a war teemed for the sake of the South—to extend the area of slavery—it is not very likely that they will soma. Already then has been a declaration on platforms, from the pulpit, and in newsmen, that a war malaise= by a President like Pine, be slave-holding or filibustering purposes (which me is fest the ease thing), would be at the wee time a prosiamatioa of the dimpled= of the Union. The PRISIDIXT himself seemed to be of the some opinion when he asserted, in his Menage to Ca me, the imminent danger of dimpled's to which the great atonal quarrel bad brought the remade. Sim that time, the Northers States have pound a perpetual stream of free 'adore hate Ramses—the settlement of which is the shoes. =aria of the strength of the Penman and hie party on the mm hand, and of the maim American will oe the ether. As it is so, we glass aside for a moment to the audition of Rams by the latest emensts. The whits immigrants from the Smith, forwarded with so mesh pomp to support slavery is Hansa, sad furnished publicly with Bibles before their de peters from Alabama, arrived in wretched plight— s remnant of the original company. Four had =- seceded, et the sum moment wit h the disappeezasee (as their commander declares) dell the mosey he carried. Many more deserted an the way, sad the remainder are complained of by their Xeres hosts as paupers, drunkards and vagabonds. Meantime the than:ash bred New England settlereflock is, in amain( Eva ben, and the latest proceeding of the Pitmen's paigh, the Shannon sad Missouri party, is evideetly an set of despair. Congress, it will be reesembeeed, sent a commission of its own members to lenses to inquire into the fats of the owe of the rival seam meats and el/otiose. After every possible attempt to pt rid of the witnesses, at the sea of some mur ders and many threats, the desperate enterprise of destroying the evidence taken is the one sow being resorted to. The @aldose, is deer, copier, and dem eatery ; and the portion already divulged will make &reps ask whether such things lea really take pies in a civilised country. The only hope of the Border Rebut party le in preventing this widens* ever reaching Cosines in a preetiesba torn. For this purpose the leaden, who have already burned hallot•boxes and held pistols to the heeds of the authorities—offering them "five minutes to rale er die," had collated their Border itallooo, mad were searching dews epee the Crearaiideeere et Ow gram at the departure et the het seesents. There are rumours of meted evediet deem, the free seldom and Northern Immigrants bevies tern= net i. de bees of the Coneeheiosers. The energy shows by the Mothers States in this bombast. a ears promise to as that there shall be no war. The cease is meg. Weal by them to be the SUDO in both cams. Their stake in an European war wash* be incaleulably greater; and there is no reason whatever to doubt that they will express, by some new HAVIVOID CON vmcnort or otherwise, their resolution to alter their administration, and, if need be, their constitution , rather than go to war with England for no better cause. We wish they would make heats. We see that they are laying elaborate commercial plane, which involve a supposition of peace, and lapping themselves in dilletantism (the present rage in that country of enthusiasms), and expecting everything rather than war; bet it is time they were making it understood at Wsehingtou that there shall be no war with England at less cost than the dissolution of the Union. Again,—the South has no mind to go to war with us. Os the contrary, it is aghast at the thought. We need but refer to the " peculiar institution "I which readers Southern citizens afraid of strangers, and all/webs their resource, of men, and impoverishes them as to mosey; and to their long line of inde• fusible coast; and to their dread of the annexation of Canada; and to the value of their cotton trade with England. The best and wisest of theta are aware, as they no anger conceal, that the "peculiar institution" mast soon be given op; and the worst and weakest are aware that a war with England is not the way to preserve it. Again, the Americans are not qualified for sue taped warfare with any European nation. What ever their filibusters may think, the Americans are not a military nation, but destined, if they could but se* it, to a higher emotion. If invaded, üby Eng land eighty years ago, they would command the world's admiration, now as then—sot in a military Renee, but oa the higher ground of patriotic valour and devotedness , summated from the virtue of their came. 'Thar wars sine the old Broadests died out bate bees of a deteriorating character. Their males have been barbarians or poltroons. They do not know what regular warier* is; and their institute.. prevent their ever having any Elifati -6E09 of it. Military and naval discipline are out of the question in their OM, as is shown on every long mauls, and after every long voyage. Their naval ethers are perplexed between lack of authority, and the necessity of devising substitutes for it; and American soldiers were punish' d, day by day, in the Mexican war, in ways which would excite an universal mutiny in the British army. Desertions are numer ous beyond precedent; sad the chief command of an American force—even in snob small wars as those of late years—is a heart-breaking °Moe for the boldest and steadiest man. WASHINGTON, with his force of devoted citizens, animated by the noblest patriotism, fond the command of his desultory and shifting army a well nigh impair ticable task. In the present case, when military' practice has been weakening there as much *as it has advanced in Europe, when there is no patriotic cause,—no principle of any kind—at stake, when the troops would be composed of the mentos, insubordi nate, adventurous, and buccaneering element of the population, while the South could give no men and the North would pay no mosey, it is safe to my that the United States could net go to war with us. They most wait far a good same. With a good canoe, there is nothing ever to be achieved by men that they could not and would sot amt. Without it, it I. the beet praise of them to nay that they must fail. Their beet men know it, and will act accordingly; and, being perfectly assured of this, we etafidently assort that there will be no war. Foe the present, we earnestly recommend it to our Mende end brethren woes the Atlantic to look to their Pizeromey, daring the short remainder of his term, and then to replies him by one whom they Gan meanly accredit Wes as the representative and interpreter of their mind and will. Some of no have known from the beginning that President Prince never was so : bat their letting him pus se each has brought the two countries into a state of collision which will net bear repetition. Oar American friends sad teethes* mast look to this; for an established reputed= for quanelsomssmes mast doom any natioo,—and themselves above all other,—to a mans of retrogreesioa, and a " manifest destiny " of decline. gbe Court.

PARIS, WIDNEODLY Eysimire. The Emperor arrived at Arles at seven o'clock last 'night, and slept there. This morning he rose very early, and after visiting those parts of the town and the adjacent country which its flooded, he left at half-past eight a.m. to return to Avignon, whither he arrived at ten. After a halt of but a quarter of an hoar, he proceeded on towards Lyons, where he was expected to arrive at three this afternoon. It is pro bable that his Majesty will sleep at Lyons. Subscriptions for the sufferers from thh inundations are going on in all directions. Placards are exten sively posted inviting different chimes of society to , subscribe. General Lawccstine has opened a list at his heed-quarters in the Place Vendome for the national guard. All the members of the Paris prom are subscribing most liberally according to their means. 1 , Meters. Galignani have put their names down for I,ooofr. in the Constilutionners list. M. Emile de Girardin has written a characteristic letter to the &eels, stating that although his expe rience has taught him that private charity can do but little to relieve great misfortunes, he will on this occasion obey his sympathies rather than his recollections. He therefore sends I,ooofr. for the Prow, and 100 fr. for himself personally—those being the sums subscribed by the &eels and its poli tical director, 51. Ravin. I venture to express a hope that, in this cruel emergency, the public generally will give charity the benefit of every doubt, and imitate at 0009 M. de Girardin's practice, while they reserve the soundness of his economi cal doctrines for mature sonsiderafion. How " one touch of nature makes the whole world kin." Here is M. Emile de Girardin, one of the hardest political economists of the age, whose bobby is that the " transformation of taxes into a premium of assurance" would guarantee mankind against "every ill that flesh is heir to," subscribing his money handsomely and promptly to succour a great national calamity. At the same time that he acts just like any other kind-hearted man, he cannot resist the temptation to writs an article fa the Press*, declar ing his conviction that his contribution will be illu sory, sea that ha only sands it se a reiterated protest in favour of the principle of "premiums" rather than "taxation." Several of the theatres announce performances for the benefit of the manna The Bourse ltas bad a very sombre upset all day. The Rent* fell 400. for cash and for account, closing at 73fr. 70c. and 74fr. 65c. Credit Mobilier fell 36fr. ; Bank of Francs, 30fr. The principal railways were all considerably lower. Orleans fell 33fr.; Lyons, 10fr.; Mediterranean, 10fr.; Northern, 10fr.; and Grand Central, 1314. M. Mires writes to the Debar protesting against the supposition that he was any party to a financial conspiracy to raise the rate of reports yesterday, but he admits that nth a conspiracy did exist.

Whilst the Emperor is bearing in person to the sufferers by the floods both help and cousolatlon, the Empress, affected like Monett by so much Cures", hes expressed to the Minister of the Interior her wish that a subscription should be !immediately opened for its relief, and has sent to him, in the name of herself and the Imperial Prince, a double offering. Thus paced ander the august sad affecting patronage of the Empress and her son, the subscription was opened this day at the unities in the department of the Seine, and will be lAewiss opened in every department. The Prefect of Pace has just addressed the following letter to the Police Commissioner of the Bourse : "Monsieur le Commissalre, " The devastations mauled at this moment in several of oar departments by the floods have profoundly touched the ►urt of the Emperor, who ha. desired personally to convey to the spot the Int help and consolation. "The inhabitants of Paris will wish now as ever to take part in the noble inspiratioas of his Majesty.

(PlOll • SPEOILL LYONS, Jews 2. As all the newspapers of Franco are full of the destruction of property by the late rains, it may be interesting to your readers to know the details of the devastation caused by the Seine, Yonne, thou, and Rhone overflowing their banks, at least in as far as could be seen from the railway between Paris and Lyons, and more particularly in the latter town. The heavy rain commenced at Paris at 4 o'clock on the morning of May 30, and continued uithont inter mission foe more than thirty-six hours. On leaving Paris every streamlet between that and Fontaine bleau had burst its basks and covered all the hol lows; much of the grain and hay, which were not covered with water, being laid by the heavy showers. The destruction towards Sens was very great; and indeed the same may be said of all the villages that can be seen from the railway, but more especially towards Montbard and Verrey, until arriving at Dijon on the evening of the 31st, when the rain had almost ceased. Much, I dare say, will be said of the immense loss in I the vineyard', but that was comparatively small, as the best vines are always on the sloping heights, and nothing could look better than the vineyards of Clot Vosgeot vines, though certainly many of the Beaune vines were under water. But the people say that, though the losses of individuals may be great, there is every prospect of plenty of good wine, provided such weather as we have bad the last two days continues. In approaching Chalons-our-Saone the country had the appearance of an inland lake ; but after passing Chalons, as far as the eye could reach, nothing but water was to be seen, dotted with tope of houses and busby green willows, with long rows of poplar., looking like herons watching for fish. It was impossible to say where was the tonne of the river. Not a boat was to be seen except those landing furniture from the nume ' rocs country seats at a little distance from the river. All the tea gardens and Sunday restaurants had many feet of water round them. At Tournue the destruc tion of property was immense, and still as far as the eye could reach, nothing wu to be area but water, besprinkled with roofs of houses and trees. A round Macon was a complete sea; and u the river became narrower on approach ing Lyons, the body of rushing water was tre mendous, overthrowing walla, houses, or whatever presumed to stop its progress—and so near the road or the chain-bridges, that one expected to see all car ried away. From Villefranche to Lyons the red flag of danger was hoisted all along the railway ; in some places the sleepers of the way being loosened by the rain, while in other places there had been ava lanches of earth and turf, which the workmen had mach difficulty in clearing away. The days of the 31st May, and Ist of June, 1856, will long be remembered at Lyons. The whole population, on the evening of the Ist, were in a state of excitemeat ; bodies of military marching in all directions, to carry &militancy to the miserable un fortunates, while patrols of hussars were moving about to give speedy notice of some impending catastrophe. I proceeded towards the Quays on the Rhone, the favourite promenades, but there was nothing but mud, water, and miserable being", moved from one street to another in ' small boats. I was "soured lest night that on the other side of the river, towards Villette, and lower down, mo - s than 900 houses had been thrown down, and upwards of 7,000 people deprived of cover. Thinking this an exaggeration, I have spent some hours on the spot this morning,and believe that it is no exaggeration. The great sufferers are the workpeople, and those who have manu factories in that quarter. Reports were afloat of many children being drowned, but such have bees, and continue, the exertions of the military and civil authorities that I am inclined to doebt it. There has been no communication with Italy for three day., and I have this morning seen every dili gence, after many hours of vain attempt, obliged to return to Lyon ; but the water is now fall ing so rapidly that there is every prospect of the road being open tomorrow morning. The last great inundations were in the year 1840, but the results of the inundation of 1856 are far from over. In 1840 the inundation took place in November, and in cold weather; but the miasma which is sure to be created by the evaporation of this blazing sun must 611 every village from Fontainebleau to Marseilles with fever cases. It is this morning raid that the railway to Marseilles, near Vienne, is impracticable, and no boat of any sort could live on the river, running so tepidly, and every' turn being a succession of foaming whirl pools. Excuse blunders, for I write amid a very Babel of polyglot articulate sounds, surrounded by the passengers of the last four days arrested by the floods. INCIDENTS AND CASUALTIES AT LYONS.

Thise gentlemen have returned to their homes, after hav ing been for some time ecinfloed in • place by th e water, from which M.

"Par the lest three days," lays the Casette do Lyon of the 3rd, no journal or letter has reached Lyons trim the south.

A service by post home could certainly have been established where the coo.muoications by railway had been cut off." LE REPORTING IN FRANCE. It appears by yesterday'sMoniteur that in the sitting of the Corps Legit'latit on Monday M. de Montalembert took an opportunity to call attention to the notoriously garbled reports of opposition speeches, which the official reporters are in the habit of concocting on the few occasions when those speeches are of a damaging nature. On the Pre. sident of the day (Vice-President Revell) taking hie seat, COMA an MONTALEXIIIIT asked leave to speak before the minutes of the lut sittings were confirmed, in order to eons plain of the manner in which his speech on Saturday span the bill remodelling the postsge tar,fl for books, &a., nag analysed. The PRESIDENT said that the report had been duly submitted to the committee composed of the presidents of the seven bureau: of the chamber, and hod been approved of by that committee. The control which the committee con scientiously exercised within the limits of its powers wee mat eertain/y s guarantee for the Corps Legiolatif of snob • nature as to leave no room for any complaint. 11. Pit... was of opinion that M. de Montalembert should be heard. Count DM IforevnilmWeirt having obtained leave from the Freeddent to speak, said—He attached no importance to the form of his speech, bat ,he was anxious that his ideas should be faithfully represented to the country. He mold uudentend the swum of debating with cloud doom (the bails-cloy) such u prevailed in the wean, bat when rep Ins were allowed, he was en titled to ask that they should be faithful—neither incom plete nor partial. [The French expression wed was pungent alliteration, niparlielis ns particle.] The organic decree required, he was aware, that the report should he but a summary—but let the summary be faithful. The has member admitted that in the reports the ides, of the (peahen were, generally speaking, faithfully repro duced, but there were sometimes exceptions as regarded himself. With respect to his last speech in particular, some parte were correctly enough reported, but others were altogether suppre sled cr incon,ctly given. Moreover. while the report noticed the expressions of dissent, drawn forth by one pert of his speech, it omitted all men tion of the spprobetion which was manifested in regard to other passages. He thought that the exprnsions he had made sae of to characterise the excessive develoi ment of the spirit of speculation should have been completely given. The PII11111)INT replied that impartiality was the rule of the reporters. When M. de Mootalambert denied that in partiality as regarded himself, he was mistaken. When the 03mmittee before whom the reporter's manuscript was read suppressed phrases, words, or oven whole rungs. of • speech, it only made these suppreesions with the ohjeet of conforming to the decree which required that the report should he an analysis. It was n't to be presumed that the committee could have any lutentiou to distort tte ideas of the speaker'. The last speech of M. de MonWembert bad been abridged bemuse it required to be so, but the com mittee remained ex nvinced that the substance bad not un dergone any alteration. One of the non•reported phrues of M. de Moots. lembert, which fell like a thunderbolt in the house, was one which we quoted in Tuesday's Express:— " Ces fortunes scandaleuses, fait.. sans travail, aunt egalement sans honneur." AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC. (mom op' ovrx CORRESPONDINT.) LIVERPOOL, WZDNI6DAT.

The Royal Mail steam ship Canada from hence, arrived at Boston on the 22nd. The Washington despatches are contradictory regarding Mr. Cramptou's dismissal. Some say that the question had been amicably adjusted ; others that Mr. Marcy is waiting the reply of Lord Clarendon; others that Mr. Crampton will receive his passports. The Washington Union contradicts the reports that Lord C.arendon's despatches have changed the opinion of the cabinet. Nothing definite is known. The senate, on the 21st, received communications from the President, with accompanying documents on the reeruitment question, involving the question of veracity between Lord Palmerston and Mr. Buchanan.
