Tim great organ of th e "status quo," of standing ideas and abases in all th'ngs, whether in finance or war, gives the true seisms why the dominant parties in the free should scout Mr. COBDEN'S scheme of ar- bitratioa, or aty . sehtme for superseding the present system of routine and cap . imia diplomacy. This system is explained by our contemporary, u the entrusting the interests of the country abroad to be managed and represented by " " personages at the bead of Europe in society. To these personages, thus proudly placed, we give splendid palaces and princely establishments, in order to keep asst pesos. We give ten thousand a 3 ear to Lord NORMANDT in order to put him on more than a per with the President of the Frenchßepublic, and we thus make his berth so oomfoeteble, in order to render it his interest not to quarrel with the ruler at whose siert he resides, sod whom it is his business thus to cont,hine and to remain friends with! Ten thousand a year is certainly not an exor hi,snt price to ply for keeping at peace with France. But we most sly that Lord NORMANBT MUSE b the most exorbitant and unpatriotic of individuals, if he counit be pacific and courteous at less than such an annual sum. 'There ought to la, and no doubt thin are terra in Englsnl, quite ready to devote themselves to the teak et maiutaning peaceable relations between the countries, who would never allow the idea of slay or establishment to intrude upon their duty and their patriotism. But the great pereonages whom the Times would entrust with the monopoly of diplomacy and statesmanship, are, according to this high authority, not so disinterested. Install them in a palace, and they will keep the peace, put them in a second floor, and they will embroil thenuelves and the touttry . from mortification and annoyance. Tide specimen of Erge lish diplomacy, peinte par elle naCAe, is certainly very instructive, and we do Welt that Mr. Hume will m •ke use of it when the diplomatic Ection of the miscellaneous estimates comes b.fore parliament. Absurd as this may seem , the question neverthe less is there. It is whether politic, international as well es d mete ic, are to remain a mystery and a liidd n science, with ex'reme plausibility, but with secret aims, and motives, and morale, incapable of hearing the light, and tnerefere the better intrusted to an hereditary caste of official Levites, who n'terly exclude the profane vulgar, and who faint at the idea of their deeds and their pretentious being referred to 'the honest daylight of at bitration. Such propo-als in foreign politics are in fact pre eisely the same as an extentem of the suffrage is home attar,. It is widening the circle of theso who know, who seek, who ireeiest themselves in, and who consequently mos' influence, /admit action. The tort' . effort is to confine parliament to aristocratic &amulet a, the cabinet to lords, and diplomacy t a " the heads c f European society." And this monopoly is defended on the preter.cs that ouch personages alone can k• cp order at home, and p ace abroad, that iv, if we pay them like princes. For paint d'argent, point de Suisse and the Tunes assures us, that diehmati,ts with less than princely establish metre mast quarrel. The was the kind of nonsense, this was the dilemma, the twc-prong' d fork, with which toryism ought to keep out the tide of the Reform Bill. Tho public heeded it not ; and the inquiries, the rescsrzh, and judgnent of the many, have broken into most of the mysteries and hidden places of domestic govern. ment. In foreign le licy, the people have, however, nut yet interfered. The doors of the Treasury have indeed been broken open by the intimate; but the Foreign office, on the other side of Dos ning-street, has suc cessfully re-isti d. It camel, however, long retain any such immunity. The public will penetrate, they will insist on knowing more than blu • books die close; and if official means of information be denied, they will seek other and curer =veil ilia in the great hook of European affairs, which is no longer el eed, and which small personages are at as full libeey to study and learn as great ones. We mutt say that in this debate Lord PALMERSTON and Lord Jour RUSiELL spike, both of them, as fair and liberal, and well-meaning statesmen. But they are still augurs; still impressed with the sanctity of of their offices; still under the yek • of the traditional humbug of there offices, arid anxious not to betray the interests er admit the empty inutility of their pro- Lesion. It is not from them, therefore, that we are to exp' eta goat , ' al step or anysonitory measure a.tainst international differences. It is through the public and by the public that this alone can be wrought, and by the pub Ws tsking a greater and more constant inte rest iu foreign questions. The great argument of the political augurs for mairtaining their science occult and the monopoly of power in their cute is, that the public never inter fere in foreign questions, save when excited hy passion, and that then it interferes to disturb and to endar,ger. This is Rue enough. When the public remain passive and ignorant on any subject for years, and then burst suddenly from impulse and excitement into these questions, they conic to them of course with passion and with have. But if a large portion, or majority of the public were better and more regularly informed; if they insisted on knowing and sharing in and in fluencing the march of our foreign relations, instead of lravirg it to the thimble-rig of diplomacy, then the judgment of the public would be equable and im p?mictie d, instead of being wilful and rash. The only way to economy, and to peace, and to order in public life, as in private management, is for all interested to b vigilant, well-informed, re relarly observant, and interested , exerting not a fitful and passionate, but a regular and a cub's in fluence. With a people thus awake, thus attentive, how could a diplomatist ha% e the power to throw a country into quarrel or embroilment, because his salary was curtailed? Let it not be sopposedthat thismonstrous absurdity of war's arising out cf the personal pique of two individuals is confint d to the last century. We could instance cases within very brief recollevion, when Europe was in imminent danger of war solely from the personal jealousies of two of those "hinds of European society," which the Times recom mends as especial re acr-mskers. We should venture to reezommeed a quite dill rent class of diplomatists. The American school of public men is much chewer, lunch less susceptible, and quite as pacific. For this pod reason, that they must be so, 'hat they ate well watched, that all their dispatches are published, and that politician's, foreign or domestic, on the other side ot the Atlantic, are allowed to form no augur close, with ideate interests, or science eifferent from that of the greet public. Lord bone Russets, indeed, seems to have ad mita, however covertly, that such was the tendency of thines, and that to "this complexion we must c sine a' la-t" Hence f e said, that it was not yet time, that Eeropean courts and countries had still their who.ls too deeply imbedded in the old track., and that England could not very well get out of them of itself, unless ethers would at the same time roll, like the United States, in the plain high road. All this offers but a strong incentive to the fries& of economy and popular progress to press on, and to throw open wide the portals of the sonstitut'on. The great.r the number that take part in politic', a quiet and regular part, the Iris possihility will 'here be of abuse, of expenditure, of war without cans-, and of diplomacy on other ir,t• rests than those of the public. When all countries and the men of all countries can carry on a full and open discussion of their rights and interest., and when there is re longer anything in those rights or interests that will not bear the daylight, or that nee' shrink from honest arbitration, then the inutility of arma ment: will become mani fest of itself, and then the atio elollll system will be exploded of dividing the sub stance of the state into three parts, ore of which goes to rulers, another of which goes to soldiers, the poor third, and not even the third, remaining to the active THE .

A VERY singular and very tragical drama is at this moment proceeding, of which all Europe are spectators or, indeed, actors. The scene lies at Rome, and it is astonishing the complicated interests that all have in what is to take place in that city. The catho lic powers, we are told, are interested in their Pon tiff being restored to his uncontrolled authority. They look evidently on the Roman territory as the private property of his holism's, and the Romans as serfs attached to that property. Be sides this general iutert at of all catholic powers, each catholic power hes, moreover, i:s individual interest. Austria objects to the Romans having a free press or free municipal institutions, which would be a bad and troublons example for Lombardy. Naples objects to Rome forming any disagreeable contrast with her. Tee Two Sictiies are under mili- GERMANY. FRANKFORT.---The following is the not* ad dressed by the plenipotentiaries of several German states re-ident in Frankfort, to the minister, of the empire, and the ae ewer of the latter : Recent events determine the undersigned plenipotentiaries •0 demand frank explanations on the part of the ministry of the Central Poser on interest questions of the greatest im portance. The tied. shined had hoped that two conferences, which they fully expected to have had with the ministry of the Empire, would furnish them with an opportunity of c ming ti an understanding with it. This hope having been deceived, because the ennterencrs were countermanded, they have no other way left but that of making known by writing their desire of conversing tact: rocs with the ministry, and of indicating, at the same time, all the subjects to be discussed daring this interview. It is known that by the departure of the National Assem bly, the Central Power is deprived of the moral support which was lent to it, and which is not soffleiently winded by the great German states. Moretver, Prussia, the king dom of Saxony, and H snorer have just condu led a spinal alliance, the commis affein of which will be directed by Prussia; it is known, lastly, that there have been negotia tions of a diverse nature relative to the changes shout to be introduced into the Coital Power. In the actual eritical tary despotism, and the maintenance of this requires that Rome should be under the same regime. Whilst the policy of Austria and Naples is thus based on sympathies, that of France is governed by antipathies. The French President, who rules a re public on the Seine, the French ministers who pxket their salaries in its name, have a decided objection to such a thing or such a name on the Tiber. They have a republioo-phobia. They would rather die, or loss office, or go to war, than shake hands with or recognise it. These republicans and m mbers of the (ashcan Church in France Le monarchist., and sacerdotal monarchists, in Rums, and so interceed in the Pope's restoration, that they will allow no other hands to execute the teak. Even England, we are sorry to say, joins in this tom-foolery. Lord LANSDOWNE tells us that in a political point of view we are most inttre ted in the Pole's resto ration! Ili' lordship moreover said, that we were interested that his Holiness should be restored on such conditions as would be likely to render his hold of power permanent. That is to say, if we re commend liberal institutions for the Roman people, it is by no means for the sake of this pe.iple —who, it seems, are worth nobody's cue— but for the sake of the permanence of the Porn's rule. If despotism be the system most likely to im mortalise the papal rule on earth, then we, or the English government, are for despotism. To erect the papal chair on an adamantine foundation is, it seems, the grand desideratum of a British statesman. Now, for our part, we sincerely desire that the Porn, instead of being bishop and tiller of Rome, to the earn the oppression and degradation of theßomans, as well as to the political annihilation of Italy,—we overtly wish that his Holiness was Bishop of Cagliari, with Sardinia for his patrimony. That pastoral, insular, and backward ceuitry weed just suit him. He could not well spoil it; and the PI13:-ES or GREGORISS might be as independent as the church could desire, and far more apestolical than is their present capacity of muleteers of theirpe mle, and of firebrands in the midst of Europe. We should not interfere, however, for this or for any other purpese. The Romans have as good a right to choose their own government as France has, or Spain, or E-igland. Atid France appears to us to have just as much right to dictate to the Romene as a Russian army will have by and bye to tell the Parisians to tall down be fore Hersey V. And aju,t re tribution it would be on MM. BARROT and BONAPARTE if PASKEWITCH and NICHOLAS were to treat them as they have treated the Itomens, and dictate to them by the roar of cannon a Restoratior. We consider, iceleed, the name of ODILLON B R or as for ever dishonoured—as degraded, indeed, not merely to the category of the GuIZOTS and the METTERNICHs, who were consistent, or to that of I the POLIGNACS, who miget plead fanaticism in miti gation of their folly, but to a far deeper pit in the political Inferno, that pit to which will be coreegned the memory of all those statesme a who made use of the power which they had reached in the &eerie?, and by th-' profess on of libormism, for the betrayal and situ; ction of that cause. At home, M. BARROT might plead fear as an excuse fur re-ac tion—Lie dread of socialism as a reason for his taking refuse in absolutism. But to crush b.nesth the weight of cannon, and to drown in their own blood, 'the off its of a people struggling for thi it rights in the closest imitation of French example ; and to do this in the acme of no principle at all, but merely to save the military or diplomatic pride of a govern meet or its agents—this is a combination of imbe cility and atrocity, of which no history affords an example. RODESpIERRE cAild plead a purpcee for his dimes, and NAPOLEON an aim for his holocausts of human liberty and life. SYLLA'S prescriptions were confined to his own case. TIBERIUs and DOMITIAN decimated but the senate. But Louts NAPOLEON BCoNAPARTE and M. ODILLON BARROT determining, on the strength of their 430,000 s tidier?, that they would, per f a ei nefiss, play first fiddle at Rome, and then setting to do this, in Nsso's fashion, by the light of the immortal city's conflagration—this is a more hideous act of folly and of crime than ever was imagined, much less perpetrated, by the uu- Christian emperors, at a time when the world was delivered up to their caprices. We never yet r' ad a worse concentration of un truth, hS peeeioy,religi( us intolerance, civil despotism, than M ODILLON BARRoT's speech. It states the object of the French exp. ditiore at :d its military ix ploits in Rome to be—what ? Honour ! We have Mated of honour sought at the cinema's mouth, hot it was reserved for M. BARROT to seek it in the blood of a brave and a free, and a floridly pc •ple. Then he evokes the story of Roesi's murder and of Roman exul.ation in it,both of which sh imeful thing. are to be traced to that eacerd- tap party which M. BARROT is expending bl eel and treasure to restore. The first march if Gen. OUDINOT upon R ene is de scribed as a reconnoissance. Why, the very name implies hostility. The reconnoissance was carried so far as an incursion of the French • eldiers within the very gates of the city. Of course they mot with resistance. Yet M. Bennor has •he face to say that a light company e f French sold ere were ordered to advance into the streets, " to open commu nications with the Reman government." Wt en these men are fired on, M.

Worthily indeed did the French minister conclude such atone of falsehood, sophism, and shuffling, by disavowing his own negotiator, and de elating les pr. ference for the butcher OCDINOT C.V.I" the mediator Lessees. When such is the vile conduct and such the viler arguments of a man acting as the head and minister of what called itself the rroierate party, no wonder that moderation is stigmatised as treachery, for most justly is it accused of having betrayed the came both o!hberty and cf humanity.

Frankfort, June 3, 1849. ANSWER OP THR MINISTRY OP TRII EMPIRIL The plenipotentiaries of those German States who have recog nised the Constitution of the Empire as voted by the National Assembly have expressed in the note addressed to the undersigned on the 3rd inst., a desire to confer, he mew moo with the Ministry of the Emeiee, upon irmudisme referred to in the said note. Psracipeting, as it does, in this desire, the Ministry of the Empire the more regrets to find in the note an allusion by which the writers thereof at ptar to reproach the ministry, as regards those querioas, with hawing delayed coming to an understanding with the govern ments of the German static, conformably with the law of the empire of the 26th June last. The un• , dersigned takes the libsrty of oh...tying that the Ministry of the Empire will infallit•ly submit to a common discussion with the German govarnm nt on every measure wbith, in virtue of the said law, ought to be submitted to such discus sion, and which shall be suffieirntly prepared, being firmly convinced that an eager enneurrenee between the individual governments and the Cent ra Power e en alone insure and ad vance the well-being of the community. In this c •nsiction it will always be a pleasure to the Ministry of tee Empire to mommunicate its vices, and to peeve this the undersigned hastens to announce to you the demands referred to in the note of June 3. The firm relates to the attitude which the Central Power proposes to take with el to the measure lately adopted by the crowns et Prusva, Sax nay, and Hanover. It will not be difficult to answer this according to the principles of public right. The three governments in question have, in c 41se quenco of the present state of stars, concluded a defensive elliance, and, further, submitted to the German governments a project of c.mstitution, with a view to come to au under standing as to its acceptance. The right to conclude such an alliance is derived from Art. 11 of the Federal Act, and cannot be contested by the pro visiocal Central Power, which has taken the place of the Germanic Diet, any more than it could be by that Diet, see ing that it is oily on the e :ideation of the Ce n sal P.iwer that the new O. rman public law enters into force, and that till then the old puldie law must necessarily remain in vigour, unless all legal tie between the German states is to be destroyed. As to the project of a new constitution, it suffices to ob serve that, in virtue of the law of the 28 b June last, the Central Power has nothing to do with it, and is only in terested therein so far es the said project stall tend to some thing definiive, and consequently to the cessation of its functions. The manner in which this project shall he received by the ether German governments will prove whether or not it will come to this pint; the undersigned, therefore, begs also the gentlemen who si e ned the use of the 3rd inst. to have the kindness to take ins tuctious from their governments in this reepeot, and to communicate them to him. A second question contained • in the said note concerns the line of conduct ed 4th the Central Power will adopt in con sequence of the Netien.l Assembly having transferred its seat to Stuttgard. The undersigned do net hesitate to de clare that the imperial usin istry cannot recognise the Na tional Assembly's right of taking such a measure. seeing that in the decrees of the dirt of March 30 and April? of Net year Frankfort Is expressly indicated as the seat of the N itional Assembly, end th so it. le.:al attributes are derived from these decrees, these cannot In epos beyond the limit" of their origin, end take au .:tension of a nature to change this last. While making this declaration, the undersigned desires to know also in this respect the views of the govern. co'n's remesented by the undersigned of June 3, by so much the m ire as up to the pees, fit there are only the go vernments which have not reengnio d the constitution of March 28 that have decla•ed the pesition they would take relative to the Nati , nal Assembly. Finally, it is desired to knoe if the Central power has the intention and the mans to eternise those functions which have btencenferred upon it. The ministers of the empire beli•ee that the centr•l power has never given any erosive for giving rise to any presumption that it lies not the firm will to discharge its duties. It has hitherto possessed the mane, and th re is no ground for suppositg that it will not hare them similarly for vie fu's-e. The states which have reelmased the to - sti ution voted by the N ienal Assembly cannot, without being guilty of grossly emtradicting their past eels :net, refuse th' a • means, and as for the other states, Austria and Bavaria have pro mised quite recently to place at the disposal of the central rower a coneideratile force; as far as re_ ards Prus•ia, which hoe raised a colossal army, see ha• never withdrawn from her federal duti e, and it would he consequently unjust to suspect that her government e uhf refuse her co operation to a power, on which, little's , ndo ntly of the law of the 29th of June last, Pros,— no less then the other German states, con f• reed the attributes of the German diet.

The facilities afforded by the adoption of Lon don time at all the stations of all the railways for making the observations accurately and literally simultaneously and by the railways and electric tele graph for transmittin4 the reports from the remote-t 1 testifies embraced in our scheme, have alreidy been explained.
