IT is evident, from yesterday's arrival, that every thing in the United States is at a stand, in expectation of peace with Mexico. There were urgent reasons for desiring that peace. The first allotment of ten millions of dollars, for the purposes of the war, had been ex hausted at the commencement of August, and the second ten millions were fast melting away, yet the PRESIDENT shrunk from ordering any more decisive operations, such as the attack of St. John d'Ulloa, or the advance of General TAYLOR, who was still at Comarga on the 13th of August. But SANTA ANNA seems to have returned to Mexico, on a full understanding with the govern ment of Washington, and with the British envoys in that part of the world. The terms are stated to be " The restoration of the Mexican federal go vernment of 1821, under the guarantee of the United States ; the latter country to accept the Itio Grande as frontier, and California to be organised as a distinct territory, under the protection of the United States." Having thus won the Oregon to the 49th degree, Texas, and California, President Pot.ii may retire upon his laurels. Never certainly did monarch of a kingdom, or head of a republic, achieve in the first year of his rule three such important victories: and that without risks or expenses of any magnitude. The best understanding seems after all to exist be tween the President and the British government. The privacy of the latter to the Mexican settlement is a proof of this. On the subject of the Oregon, Mr. M`LANE's reply to the New York Chamber of Commerce is a docu ment that will be read with interest. His declaration that his government never aimed at more than the 49th degree, and that the navigation of the Columbia was a question not of such importance in the present enlightened state , A commercial policy, when the " greatest freedom of rivers and ports should be allow ed to the tre de of the world ;" his congratulations that the last cause of difference between England and the United 'States should have been removed at the very time whe a the wise statesmen of Britain had thrown aside tb e old obstruction to the freedom of exchange ; . and hi 3 belief that the settlement of the Oregon ques tion s the knell of those inveterate jealousies and feuds whi ch have had such mischievous influence on the P .iple and the public councils of both countries; — ti .ese are sentiments so noble and so nobly expressed, that we congratulate both countries on the proba bility of finding in Mr. a second WEasTER, without that orator's narrow views of commercial policy. It is indeed gratifying to think, whilst recent events render our relations with the constitutional countries of Europe less promising and amicable, that those with the people of our own race in the new world give a promise of more durable and more pro fitable friendship. WE are glad to see that St. Pancras is not content to father the llowmtrit Report, without an effort to rid itself of so discreditable a responsibility ; and that even the directors and guardians begin to show a disposition, by " more rigid and searching inquiry," to relieve themselves of some part of " the public odium." They arc not yet in the way of success. A meeting of the board for the latter purpose took place on Tuesday; and a meeting of rate-payers was held on Monday, to take the report into consideration. Mr. IlowAteru proposed its adoption in a long speech, in which he defended the parish authorities, censured Mr. CoorEn the surgeon, and charged the press with " making the most" of workhouse irregularities. This duty, we beg to say, the press leaves to Mr. HOWARTH and others of his kidney. Their neglect ripens into enormity, abuses which all their assurance cannot succeed in keeping secret. They " make the most " of a master's arbitrary authority and a pauper's helpless suffering. Their culpable careless ness, or more culpable collusion, drives misery to mad ness or suicide. They do not require any aid from the press to exaggerate their offences. A literal report of them is more eloquent than the most indignant comment. We must, however, except such a " report" as that of the directors, which is based on an expur gated edition of the evidence. It is " Hamlet," with the part of Hamlet omitted. It is an account of Mr. LEE'S administration, in which Mr. LEE'S malpmc- tices are overlooked. " Be to his faults a little blind, And to his merits very kind " is the advice of Mr. HOWARTH to his brother direc tors, d propos of the master. And then he complains of the press for " making the most" of workhouse irregularities. We retort on him with a charge of making the least of them ; of making nothing of them ' whatever ; of blinking evidence, and shutting his eyes to facts; of standing up for that which cannot be defended; and of omitting the only atonement for past neglect and inhumanity, a prompt and penitent avowal of error, and „ promise of better behaviour for the future. The investigation of the case of poor MARY ANNE JONES promises to be rich in results. It has already brought to light three cases of gross , grievance. One is the story of an inmate of the oakum room, who having in a' moment of excitement attempted suicide, was consigned to Whitechapel Workhouse (we presume, as a person of unsound mind), and thence passed to St. Pancras. Some money which he possessed was taken charge of by tho directors. lie had at different times discharged himself, with a wish to procure work out of the house. His money had on these occasions , been doled out to him in petty sums. When these were exhausted he was forced back by destitution into the house. This was several times repeated. At last he applied to the Clerkenwell magistrates. He was confined in the oakum-room for this. But the balance of his money was ultimately restored to him, the amount which was deducted for his support during his residence in the workhouse reducing it from some 20/. to 1/. 17s. 6d. During a great part of this time he was, to all intents and pur poses, a prisoner, day and night, in the oakum-room ; and only by a door being accidentally left open, was he at last enabled to gain access to the committee. Previous to his discharging himself for the last time, the master threatened to confine him to the oakum-room for good, if ever he returned. Ile did return, after a struggle of four days with starvation, and has from that time, till the publication of his letter, been a close prisoner night and day. A letter from a fellow captive, published in our paper of yes terday, represents him as now in a state of excite ment, constantly complaining of having been swindled out of his money, and threatening self-destruction. A second revelation of the St. Pancras system is the letter of old WHITT, one of the paupers who ex posed the false rations. The old man, upwards of seventy years old, had been allowed to work inside the house at his trade of carpenter for a pittance of fourpence per day. He has, since giving this evi dence, been deprived of this opportunity of earning an addition to his comforts, on a charge of stealing wood. He was carrying some chips and carpenters' refuse to give the women in the hall to light their fires with. He had done the same thing before, time after time, openly, and without reprimand. But the occasion was seized to get rid of one who had dared to complain, and the master pays him his last shilling of earnings, mockingly telling him " he is now a martyr to the cause." Another letter of complaint from one of the men under the salutary influence of classification in the oakum room,was given in our columns yesterday. We will not dwell on it, as it offers in one or two points suspicious indications that the writer is a turbulent and troublesome subject. We should be loth to weaken a clear and good case by any questionable evidence. Enough has been brought forward, not only to warrant, but to compel official investigation. None of the more important facts were denied at the meeting of the Board on Tuesday. Indeed the case of Wnirr was admitted to be worse than in the original statement of it; and Mr. HOWARTH, not con tent with defending, gloried in the dismissal of the old man. Weirrr, with his seventy-four years and 2s. a week, earned a deal too much, in the opinion of this humane churchwarden ; and " had no right to be in the workhouse." But the master exceeded even the churchwarden in the insolent audacity of his tone. He declared that he had in reality dis missed the wretched man for no other reason than the evidence he had given in exposure of the ration trick. WHITT, forsooth, had complained to the Board of his inability to eat the food ; and that being the ease, he (LEE) feared it might be considered enrol to put a man to work when his health was so bad that he could not eat the .food there ! Is not the cool impudence and heartlessness of this almost in credible ? But we have a New Poor-law, and may now test its value. We have a tribunal to overlook these imperti nences and inhumanities of your 110WARTHS and LEES. This appears to us the only point in which the present flagrant case bears on the question of that law. Under the old system abuses like those of St. Pancras were as rife as they are now rare; but there was no ma chinery, such as exists at present, for bringing them to light. When Mr. HOWARTH had finished his speech on Monday, moving the approval of the report of the rate-payers, it was moved and seconded : - - That in the opinion of this meeting a committee of vestrymen should be appointed to investigate the conduct of ull the odium& in the St. Pancras workhouse. This amendment was negatived by a majority of five. Some incubus seems to hang over St. Pancras. It cannot extricate itself from a charge either of gross indifference to reputation, or of glaring inhumanity. It seems determined to force itself on official notice. As to Mr. HOWARTH'S charge against the press of " making the most" of these matters, it is a most unpleasant task to deal with such subjects in any way. Nothing but a sense of duty could induce us to waste our space on Mr. HOWARTH or Mr. LEE. Publicity, however, has its effects on such natures, as cowardly as they are overbearing. Setting aside Mr. LEE as a man with fewer excuses on the score of education, we feel, after Mr. llowAnru's re peated displays of assurance, that he is above proof audacity. He has Mr. Maulrornes ambition. He likes to be despised. Only on this theory of his character can we explain his repeated appearance in the character of apologist for St. Pancras workhouse and its system. However, we quit him now with the information that we hare " made the most" of himself and his pr , ,ttlye. We will hope that others may relieve us of the task of making more of it. We gladly leave that task to the authorities of Somerset House. MR. WGREGOR has published the Sixteenth Part of his Commercial Tariffs and Reports. It includes a valuable collection of all that is known or can be gathered, respecting Mexico; and furnishes a striking account of its wealth, resources, and capabilities. All this, one regrets to think, resembles strongly the inventory of a bankrupt's effects ; being property and advantages by which the owner knew not how to profit, and the possession of which did not prevent his sinking to the lowest degree of poverty and contempt. ' Never, certainly, did nature and fortune do so much fee a race in the Old World or in the New, as for the Spanish ; and never were such boons and chances perverted and flung away. What was considered their good fortune, has been often, indeed, the spe cial cause of their ruin. Had they fiesta in Central America—what the English found in the North— nothing but rude savages, spurning servitude, the Spaniards would have been forced to people it with the industrious peasant. But finding hewers of wood and drawers of water in the Mexican Indians, Spain was not forced to send other emigrants than the sol dier and the tax-gatherer. It peopled Mexico with officials or with adventurers, and left the Indian to remain the basis of the population-pyramid. These helots are four millions to the Spaniards one; and though the Mexican Spaniard has emancipated the Indian, and of later years treated him so as to efface in a great measure the antagonism of race, still it is a hopeless task to make use of the aboriginal races of the New World in working out the social problems and progress of the Old. There are six or seven millions of souls in the Mexican republic, of which not more than 100,000 electors know how to read and write. The idea of a republic composed of such materials, acquiring strength, or showing prospe rity or vi , our, is utterly hopeless. Mexico, however, is in a state of transition, and THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOB: Anglo-American conquest could but precipitate a change, which must of itself take place. The country is now governed by two classes, which mono polise all influence, and share all the wealth raised by taxation. These classes arc the army and the church. They have been, time out of mind, powerful ; and sup ported by the viceregal authority, which exercised patronage throughout both. But church and army became composed of too many native Mexicans to bear with the old Spanish exclusion and pride; and they united with the population, and stirred it up to throw off the yoke. The revolution changed the composition of both church and army. Although the natives of Mexico had outnumbered those of Spain in the later years of the old govern ment, they were still taken from the higher, the noble, and proprietorial class. Gradually, however, the hatred of Creole to Spaniard has been replaced by, or combined with, a democratic feeling of jealousy entertained by the ignoble of the noble. Thus the cadets of high families, who were wont to enter church and army, and thus link both with the proprietorial class, have been deterred from entering the two pro fessions. Church and army, M. MAYER asserts, are now recruited from the lower classes. So are their chiefs. Democracy predominates by means of these two professions, so traditionally dominant; whilst the proprietors, retired within their farms and provincial holdings, lead a life indifferent to polities, or disaffected towards reigning parties. This state of things greatly contributes to the force of federal opposition, and renders a number of influential Mexicans apathetic even to foreign conquest, which, however unpalatable, must deliver them from a do mestic yoke. It is not solely by excluding them from power that the democratized and dominant professions in Mexico have made enemies of the wealthy proprietors, not only of land, but of capital. The money levied by both classes; by the ecclesiastics in their well-known and traditional ways, and by the government in its mode of taxation; unites the greatest degree of rapacity and ignorance. Indeed, after the duties on export and import, those on the passage of commodities from one provinceto the other forms the second great item of re venue; so that an administration which boasts of being central, adopts the greatest vice of federalism in erecting custom-house barriers between province and province, and throwing every obstacle in the way of commer cial and intellectual union. The third great item is a direct taxation, which weighs peculiarly upon those classes which have no influence in the government. "Every thing is taxed," says Mr 7 TflostrsoN, " from the palaces, coaches, and plate of the wealthy, to the dozen eggs which the poor Indian brings to market. Ido not suppose there is a city in the world where houses are taxed so high, and where the rents arc so enormous as Mexico. After paying the taxes, little is left to the proprietor." The oppressed classes, moreover, can all recollect that even the odious Spanish ri , yinie was infinitely less expensive ; and that, after all, the acquisition of freedom has brought with it the develop ment of no industry. The very mines are less productive. A revolution has taken place with all the evil consequences and none of the good effects of that extreme remedy. Nevertheless a Mexican, even the most enlightened, could scarcely look to cure those evils by completing the revolu tion, as it has been completed in Spain and in other countries. The wealth and monopoly of the church might be destroyed without much correspond ing benefit. Its riches might certainly suffice to relieve Mexico from debt, and the cessation of its cravings and gleanings would leave some portion of food and intellectual freedom to the population. But -with the church expires the police, the parochial ad ministration, the only power that renders the people satisfied, and therefore quiet. On the other hand, the destruction of the other dominant and rapacious profession, the army, would lighten the burden of taxation, deprive military politicians of the power of continually pronouncing and conspiring, and might afford some scope for civilian law, experience, and ideas. But without this last general bond of centrali sation,the army, to hold the empire together, it would forthwith fall into fragments, each of which might become the prey or the tool of one foreign power or another; so that the operation which would cut from the body politic those cancers preying upon it, might exhaust the patient by the very means intended to save; and might extinguish the last spark of life, in seeking to remove the all-absorbing elements of disease. The Journal des Dtlbatl of Tuesday denies the cir cumstance of Count Bresson having spent the night at the palace to persuade Queen Isabella to accept the marriages for her and her sister which he pro posed. According to the French Court Journal, it was the Queen herself, unaided and uninfluenced by France or other counsel, who took this resolve, of herself, in middle of the night, and immediately summoned her Ministers to acquaint them. The absurdity of such an account is sufficient to contradict it. The young Queen could have consented at such an hour to such important changes in her own feelings only to potent menaces and solicitations. And no sooner had consent been forced from her than her Ministers were summoned to receive it, record it, and render it irrevocable. The proofs are too ample and on too good authority to be doubted, but they moreover speak for themselves. As to any contradiction emanating from Isturitz, who could believe a word that such a man uttered—he, who in full Cortes de clared that English objections were to the marriage of the Queen, not to that of the Infanta ; when not an objection had been breathed with regard to the for mer ? As to Count Bresson's conduct, no denials of the court journals of France or Spain are entitled to one instant's consideration or credit. The following is the version of the 11 " The evening of the 26th and 27th of August, was exclu sively devoted by the Queen of Spain to her usual consulta tions with her ministers; and, according to her custom, her Majesty, before she withdrew to her private apartments, re ceived at an advanced hour of the night some persons of her household. Those who pretend to ho well informed on the customs of the Spanish court ought to know that the habit of the Queen, as it was that of her mother, Queen Christina, is to consult her ministers during the evening, and to give recep tions (hold a drawing-room), during the night. It wassome hours after quitting her ministers that the Queen, who received only M. Donoso tortes, and afterwards waited on her mother, recalled her ministers, to announce to them her resolution. Several amongst them were still in the palace, at the office of the first Secretary of State. The others had withdrawn. All immediately assembled in her Majesty's presence. They quitted her after having received her orders, and it was during that evening that the Queen signed the convocation of the Cortes. The French Ambassador did not interfere in the slightest degree. " This simple exposition of facts is sufficient to cause to be appreciated the value of the accounts published in the English journals. It is the only reply that ought to be given to them. Any other explanation would appear to be a justification, and would be an insult to the Queen of Spain, to her mother, and to the representative of France. Did we wish to excite, for a political purpose, those feelings which such ignoble calumnies must rouse in the heart of every Spaniard, we should have too much in our favour. We ne ther regret to be so well served, and not to take advantage of it." "We learn (says La Presse), from a sure source, that Cabrera has leg by Southampton for Gibraltar, by one of the packet boats of the Peninsular Company, under an assumed name." - - - - ----- The following note has been published in the Bor deaux newspapers in the name of three Spanish officers, against whom it had been previously reported that preventive measures had been taken by the French government : •' General Seoane has gone to Brignires for his health, and having leave to return to Spain or not as he pleases, had hi $ passport duly in order. General Rodil, whose quiet life giv es no cause' of uneasiness, has no surveillance imposed oin by the authorities of Bordeaux. Brigadier Santa Cruz. wa s sent for by the prefet, whom he convinced that ho was not in any way implicated in the Count de Moutr.molin's plans. • The British squadron, which left Cadiz on the 18th, was bound for Gibraltar. Two of the ves sels were to return immediately to Englc.nd, and the others were to remain at Gibraltar avid the coast of Morocco. - The Queen of the Belgians and the, younger branches of the family are expected in Paris.

Colonel Thierry has arrived to push forward the preparations necessary for the residence of the young couple and their suite, which will be numerous and brilliant. The Duke and Duchess de Mont pensier will arrive here on the 17th of next month, and will remain four days, during which there will, it is said, be balls and banquets at the Chateau." Our advices from Madrid are to the 24th ult. They are unimportant El l'iempo says that there will soon be a change in the cabinet. Senor Sanz and Caneja will be replaced by Senor Jose Concha and Bravo Murillo. M. and Madame Costa Cabral had !ruche? 'Madrid.

A letter ': um Lerida in El Tiempo refers to several arrests whiconsequence have taken place in of a Carlist con iracy recently discovered. Two com panies of Idlers, who have been in pursuit, had brought in twenty-five rebels connected with the meditated revolt. ___ El Herald° quotes a letter which says, " The Nliguelite insurrection has not been put down •in Portugal. It appears that Count Dag Antas has requested reinforcements. In Nlinho nearly all the population had taken arms in favour of Don Miguel, their fanaticism being excited by Fra Casimir." FRAIICE.—STEAMIIAVIGATION BETWEEN HAVRE AND NEW YORK.—The French government intends turn ing to account three steam-frigates of 450 h. p. each, now unemployed, as their services are not momentarily in requi sition, by making them run by way of experiment between Havre and New York. The government has no intention whatever, it is said, of establishing a regular service between the two ports. but the experiment will be of some service to commerce, as from this some more correct idea may be formed than has hitherto been the case of the cost and profit of such an undertaking. GERMANY.—BERLIN.—THE POLISH PRISONERs. —The new model prison, at Berlin, will be opened shortly. The Poles who took part in the late events in the Duchy of Posen were to be conveyed there on the Ist October. Accord ing to the Augsburg Gazette the government has givot orders to treat the prisoners with humanity, and to render their existence as tob rabic as possible under the circum stances. They are divided into two classes ; half a dollar a day (eighteen-pence) is allowed for the maintenance of those of the hrst class, and ten silver groschen (one shilling) for those of the second class (labourers, peasants, &c.). Great interest is attached to the coming trial. Not only is great sympathy felt fur the prisoners, but their fate is to be decided by the first judgment given according to the new system of public pleading lately established in Prussia in criminal cases. The trial is to take place in ' the new prison in a large hall fitted up for 'the occasion, and which is destined to be used afterwards as a prison chapel. The whole is to be arranged on a similar plan to a court of assizes in England. In the duchy of Posen great discontent still prevails among the landed pro prietors. The station of the Hamburg and Berlin Itailway, now constructing at Berlin, will be the largest and hand somest in Germany. Six different lines meet at Berlin, their length being 232 German miles (1069 English miles). They lead into Silcoia, Pomerania, Ilauover, Thuringen, Saxony and Bavaria. In the course of next year a continual line of railways will join Berlin with Kiel on the Baltic, with Trieste on the Adriatic, with Italy, with Austria, with the west of Germany, with France, and with Belgium. - - - BAY ARIA.—M UN ten, SEPT. 23.—Five hundred Bavarians, under the guidance of Captain Ritz, of the Bavarian etrtillery, intend settling in Greece. A tine tract of land. between Tripolitza, Argos, and Nauplia, has been selected by them for the new colony. - FRANKFORT. THE SCIENTIFIC CONGRESS. —On the filth ult. the congress of German ,arants at Frankfurt was opcued. There were one hundred and twenty members present. Dr. Grimm, the celebrated grammarian, was ap pointed president. The following thesis was treated by Dr. Grimm " What is a people ? A people is a collection of men speaking the same language. That definition (said the learned president) is the most simple, and, It the same time. the noblest that we Germans can acknowledge, it leads us to that future when languages will become the frontiers of nations instead of rivers and mountains. We must energetically reject that ridiculous distinction between North and South Germany, that unhappy religious feud which leads astray and disunites us. Our ancestors were Germans before they were Chris tians. Thus we are united by bonds of an earlier date; the Almighty never meant to oppose man to man, as is often the ease with men who call themselves ministers of the Most High. The first question on which you will have to delibe rate is one put by the Advocate Beseler, of Schleswig, on the relations of that duchy to Denmark. It is the touch stone which will prove the manner in which you solve the difficulty." Messrs. Weleker, Dahlman, Jaupp, and other members respectively addressed the assembly, all their speeches tending to prove that the duchies of Schleswig, Hol stein, and Lauenburg were dependencies of the great German nation, and were nut to be deprived of their nationality. DENIIARK.—The new regency of Schleswig was installed on the 19th September. M. Scheele was elected president. M. do Moltke, president of the Chancery, made the following important remark in a speech he delivered on the occasion :—" Conformable to the desire of the king, you must never lose sight of the fact, that the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein are independent parts closely united; but only parts of one entire whole, namely, of the Danish monarchy. No one has more respect fur the independence and intimate union of the duchies, than the king ; but the maintenance of that union depends upon their permanent union with the kingdom. Separated from the kingdom, they would fall to pieces. As regards Schleswig attention must be paid to the two-fold nationality of which it is corn- Need, and especially in those districts where the Danish language is the language of the schools and of the pulpit, always respecting the nationality of our fellow-citizens. That, gentlemen, 11 what his Majesty requested me to re commend to your attention." A Nuremburg correspondent mentions the follow ing qui pro quo : " During the stay of the King and Queen of Denmark at Holstein, the Queen wrote a letter to her brother, the Duke of Augustenburg, and another to the Prince Royal. In the former her Majesty spoke of the rights of the House r,f Augustenburg, and the steps that ought to be taken. Unhappily the letters were put into wrong covers, and the Prince Royal received that intended for the Duke, and he immediately sent a copy of it to the King; so that her Majesty found herself in an awkward position." HOLLAND.—THE HAGUE, SEPTEMBER 27.—11 is Majesty the King returned to this town yesterday afternoon from his visit to Silesia. We learn from good authority that, on the 12th of this month, a treaty of trade and navigation between the Netherlan , ts and Russia was concluded at St. Petersburg by the respective plenipotentiaries. SErr. 23.—The trial of J. Van de Pol and 16 other persons was continued before the Provisional Tribunal of South Holland for having taken part in the tumult which took place here at Delft in Sept., 1845. The 42nd witness has been examined ; to-morrow morning the examination of the witnesses will continue. Our readers will remember that, on the evening of September 22, 1846, the tows was a scene of devastation and plunder, that several bakers, mealruen, and shopkeepers, had their windows sad blinds broken by a rude and licentious populace, and that some of the shops were plundered, that the windows of the house of the burgomaster were dashed in, and that eight of the ac cused are said to have taken part in these acts of violence, and that some traces had been discovered at Draft of money having been distributed among the mob. Tlae accused for the most part denied the facts laid to their charge, but mod of the witnesses positively declared that they had been seen mingled with the rioters. One of the mealmen declared flat the throwing of the stones resembled a bombardment, and continued from half-past six to ten in the evening. - - ROTTERDAM, SEPT. 26.—An address to the King from the merchants of this town is in circulation here, calling the attention of his Majesty to the interest of commerce and navigation with respect to the duties on the importation and the exportation of corn. The persons taking pert in this address, declare that they were induced to thi. step by the announcement of the intention of the government to lay before the States-General, at the commencement of the next session, a proposal to prolong for six months the law of the 18th of Deeember, Di4s, containing measures for the en couragement of importation of provisions. They suppose, however, that the object of the government is not to stop at thus measure ; they are therefore convinced that the measure which the government now intends to propose is connected with a plan to change the legislation respecting the duties on corn. They declare their conviction that the time is come for the Netherlands to allow the importation of corn entirely free from duty. - - • POLAND.—We hear from St. Petersburg, from an authentic source, that a communication bas been made to two great German powers, according to which it nay be stated, almost to a certainty, that the three protective powers will shortly make overtures to the cabinets of St. James's and the Tuileries respecting the affairs of Poland in general, and Cracow in particular. A letter from Lemberg states that the potato crop has entirely failed in the districts of Sander and Taslo, and the price of corn is exceedingly high its consequence. RUSSIA. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 13. The St. Petersburg journals contain fresh accounts from the theatre of war in the Caucasus, from which we can only make the following extracts :—" The env my, under the command of the former Sultan Daniel Belt, intended to make an attack from the south of Daghestatt % and to penetrate to Tuschetie but his plans were defeate.l on the one hand by a of Prince Argutillski , and r..n the other by the brave reaie,tance ll LL. )(LANES 11EPLII. of the Tuschinges ; when Prince Argutinski was informed (tittle enemy's plans, he resolved to anticipate them. On the is of August be advanced with four hatallions, three Moan taih gnus, and some hundred of the native militia, iso'h horse and foot, and *Per three days' march over steep mountains and through defiles reached the village of Rowed at the foot of the lofty mountain side of Plezas. The enemy, to the number of about 10,000 men, had entrenched them selves there. On the 6th of August Prince Argatinski attacked the Lesgians, and in spite of their obstinate re sistance, drove them from their most impregnable position. On the part of the Lesgians, 300 remained on the field of battle ; on the side of the Russians, two officers and seven teen men were killed. Prince Argutinski returned allor the battle to the heights of Zuar, near Turschidach, in order from this point, which is situated in the centre, to he able to protect the country from further invasions. The works begun this year, on the whole line from the Caspian to the Black Sea, are advancing rapidly. The new fortress on the Jaryiksser, notwithstanding the interruptions which have taken place, will be in a state of defence in the course of next summer. CYPRUS, Auo. 25.—A Greek consulship has been established at Larnaca. The Turk'sh government feared the moral effect the colours of the Greek emancipation might produce on the Christians of Cyprus, and objected to the in stallation of a representative of King Otho on the island, which has nevertheless taken place without obstacle. AMERICA.—Mr. M'Lane reached New York on the sth ult., and met with a most gratifying reception. The Journal of Conantem says, " This community is deeply pressed with the obligations of the nation to Mr. M'Lane, as one of the great and wise patriots who saved the country from war in the time of its greatest danger, resulting from the malignant efforts of the men who desired to 'prepare the national heart for war.' We thank God, and all the instruments whom he employed in this great deliverance." The following is the address presented to the hon. and esteemed gentleman by the Chamber of Commerce:— " Chamber of Commerce, New York, Sept. 1. " At a regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, held at the Merchants' Bank, this day, the president, Mr. James G. King is the chair, the following preamble and resolution were presented by Mr. Charles H. Manhall : " Whereas, the Hon. Louis M'Lane, Minister Plenipoten tiary from the United States to the Court of St. James, is daily expected to return to his native country, and the Chamber of Commerce are desirous of testifying in some ap propriate manner their approbxtion of his eminent public services during his late nus , ,ion, an .1 of the part taken by him in endeavouring to remove the cause of war, and to se cure an honourable adjustment of our national differences with Great Britain; therefore, _ . . " 'Resolved-I'Ln' t a committee of 13 be appointed to welcome the lion. Louis bl'Lsne, upon his arrival in this city, and to tender to him the thanks of this Chamber fur the ability, marked by a happy union of firmness and amenity, which has distinguished his services to the country, and which has brought the duties of his late mission to a termi nation so auspicious to the best interests of the commercial community.' " The preamble and resolution having been unanimously adonted, it was thereupsn ordered by the Chamber, that the committee he constituted as follows : " • James O. King, chairman : Henry Waring, Jnmes D. P. Ogden, James Brown, D. S. Kennedy, Townsend Harris, Jacob Harvey, Charles H. Marshall, William B. Astor, James B. Murray, James Lee, Prosper M. Wetmore, Charles Augustus Davis. " Extract from the minute*, JAMES G. KING, Chairman. PKOSPEX M. Ws:Tawas:, Sec." The following is the address of the President of the Cham ber of Commerce to Mr. M'Lane on presenting to him the resolution of the Chamber of Commerce : " Sir,—The Chamber of Commerce of New York, at a meeting held on the Ist instant, unanimously passed a pre amble and resolution in relation to your public services during your late mission in London, and appointed a committee of 13 members to resent them to you. " That committee arc now present to perform their duty ; and as chairman I am directed to say that the commercial community had, for a long time, been deeply anxious about the result of the question between the jUnited States and Great Britain, upon the Oregon boundary ; and from the publication, from time to time, of the diplomatic correspon dence here, and front the discussions in Congress relating to it—neither wearing a pacific aspect—they saw little pro spect of avoiding serious ditilculties between the two nations; but as the subject in discussion had not, in it cif, been con sidered heretofore a vital one, success seemed to depend upon the manner of treating it, and they, therefore, looked with redoubled interest to the course pursued by you, our Minister at the Court at St. James. •' They knew that you had been twice charged with the mis.sion to England, and that upon the former occasion, by your courtesy, as well as by your ability, you had not only elevated your standing with your countrymen, but had won the confidence and respect of those high functionaries abroad with whom you were brought into intimate rela tions; and as they were aware that the principal Secretary. of Foreign Affairs, during your recent negotiations in Lon don, was the same distinguished statesman whose friendship you had formerly secured, the commercial community felt great assurance that all that depended upon ability, frank ness, sincerity, and mutual confidence, would be accom plished by strenuous endeavours to remove the causes of war, to smooth the course of negotiation, and to preserve unim paired the relations of peace which subsisted between the two countries. _ . _ " In this they have not been disappointed, and without diminishing the toted of honour and of praise properly be longing to others, in this happy result, they feel that their thanks are due to you in an eminent degree, for the part which, notwithstanding the severe continued illness uuder which you we^e suffering, you were enabled to take in negotiations which have been crowned with success ; and especially for the ability, real, and firmness, not unmingled with amenity, by which your course has been distinguished. And the Chamber of Commerc desire thus to tender to you their thanks for this good service to your country, and par ticularly to the commercial community, and to present to you, as this committee now does, an official copy of the reso lution which declares these sentiments ; at the same time, they beg to welcome you to the commercial capital of the nation, and to express their sincere wishes that your life may be prolonged in increasing honour, in health, and in prosperity ; and that afterwards you may be found to have earned the blessing and the reward which are promised to the peacemakers. "JAMES G. limo, Chairman, &c. " New York, Sept. ith." " Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen,—lt is so difficult as almost to discourage the attempt to find adequate words 'a which to make you my thanks for the sense you entertain of my public services, and for the flattering terms in which you have been ple ased to give it expression. Such a com pliment, proceeding from such a body of my COUD trynten, would be an ample reward for greater merit than I could possibly pretend to ; and I will nut attempt to disguiee the sincere gratification it has afforded me. Highly as I value it, however, it gives me pleasure to acknowledge that, being myself, upon the occasion to which you partici duty refer, only an instrument in assisting the purposes o' others, the greater share of your approbation is due to the e with whom I co-operated. "Omitting, for a moment, a more partied ,ar reference to the conduct and dispositions of our own govt eument, I may without impropriety assure you, that your reference to the distinguished British statesman by whom 0 ,e negotiation on the part of that government was directed , is fully merittd, and that upon any occasion of cougratub .ti o n upon the re sult, too much praise cannot be bestow' d upon his manly sense, and unwavering determination to promote an amicable settlement of the question. " I am free, at the same time, to ass ore you, gentlemen, that no one can be more sensible of th importance of peace to all interests of the country, and ell ecially to those which you so worthily represent, than I am. Of course, where the honour of the country is involve ,I, no one would stop to count the east or estimate the evils of war ; but it is a grati .he age in which we life, raid to acknowledge that the national honour is more apt t fr ha in t g the ra evidencelers oofftshttie advance dv are asee not of a: to be committed by hasty , and impracticable demands, thin sby wise and timely conces sions. " Governments, like ouuseeT 4eially, can rarely disturb the acurring a weighty responsi bilitypmce of the world, withert r to the cause of civilise ion an d h uman h ap pi ness , an d, if not hazarding their wen stability, without seriously im pairing their moral infaimy aye been induced to return to poli titia"llifecertai. n th ly e e r rl pr d m r.ot b ase tive of my country abroad, unless I had been persuaded tk* at, in the crisis to which you have referred, the views of's y own government b ad been entirely c° ettlement of the Oregon question as ougasisnthttetohawvieth sued e ' secured honourable peace, and unleis I had entertained the hogs that I might be enabled in some degree to co-operate to that end. " For myself, aft it our several conventions of 1813 and 1828, for the joist occupancy of the territory (the latter of which reeeiveihn' 1 support as a senator of the United States), I Mid always ref arded the Oregon question as less dependent upon the force of title than upon the principles of an equita ble partition. " It world have been unreasonable to expect, after such acknowleslgr nts of the right of joint occupancy, that either larty wattle. be permitted wholly to dispossess the other, at east witho at some regard to interests which had grown up during tit eir mutual possession. It appears to me, also, that all the verious acts of our government had not only been consists at with, but affirmatory of this view ; and I conk: see nothing in the national honour that would justify, much less demand a departure from it. Possessing Isefore, in as gees t a degree as after, the treaty with Spain, in 1819, all the title, which, co the ground of discovery, we could assert to tl'.e country drained by the waters of the Columbia, and which, if good for anything, was valid beyond the um parallel degree of latitude, our government at no time pro- posed a more northern boundary than the parrellel of 51, and never demarded morethau that of 49. Having some know ledge, from my official position at that time, of the policy and objects of the convention of 1828, I am quite persuaded that its main design was to lead, in a future partition of the territory, to the recognition of our claim to the country, not north, but ' south of the 49th parallel, and between that and the Comm.n biz river. A division of the country upon that principle, with a reasonable regard to rights grown up under the joint possession, always appeared tr, me to afford a just and prela tical basis for an amicable and honourable adjustment of the subject. Such also, I was satisfied, were the view' , of our government at the time I engaged in my recent mission ; and in earnestly and steadily labouring to effect a settlement up o n that basis, I was but representing the policy of my own. raventment, and faithfully promoting the intentious and wishes of the President. " It must be very rare, if in complicated differences be tween great nations, peaceful relations can be preserved without some modal. ation of extreme pretensions ; and upon the present occasion, from the kuhth of time for which ____.......... • the question Las been dependidt, together with the repeated propositions propositions on both sides, the tau Rork .... ru cornest, could not have been reason a bly expected to , w amicable arrangement without some rauttisl 0),,,,, 4 4 , their former demands, .. I " If, on our side, by dividing on the ff , th paria! Strafe' of Fuca, we yielded the southern cape of VII ep - ,„ ths Island, Great Britain surrendered her previous claim I n ' jurisd:ctiou and %reoccupied territory the th e 49i rallel and the Columbia river. At the same time effected a mate ri al modification of our former off;r4-..., surrender of the perpetual navigation of the Colarnhit Rh: to British ;retie and British suljects generally. from deference to the views and opinions of others, was no less my wish than my duty to cc sped, I earn Val f deavoured to effect a settlement upon the basis o f esel the navigation of the river to the general trade for a of 20 years ; nevertheless, when that, from csuees to need not now particularly refer, proved t o b e imp,. . • e in suggesting and urging that it should be restricted to Hudson's Bay Company, I thought I was effecting bi an o ecc even less objectionable. " It Sel ms to me that, in the present state of eo it is not only the interest, but the p ract i ce of nations, ied e ; pendent of some inveterate notions of ellonial Dee,. already yielding to more enlightened viess, to allow greatest freedom of rivers and ports to the trade ort world; and it may be observed that, until the United/ A i._ and Great Britain shall determine to aleindorl Pie ree, pc 7 secured by the existing commercial convemlB4, the !Nets; Oregon treaty confers fewer pri vileges o f navigation thae may be claimed and enjoyed luster the commercial cornea tion. I felt confident, moreover, that long before the ee ... governments would desire to alter their existing conenereiri freedom, if indeed they should ever desire to do so fiu the continuance of peace, the Hudson's Bay Comma, would cease to have any occasion or motive to navigat e .4 a river as the Columbia is known to be. It would me be easy to imagine any use they could make of it, during, gat e of peace, inconsistent with the commerce and interests e' our own citizens. " Universal satisfaction at the adjustment of a diffwalty complicated and inveterate was scarcely to be expected, seed yet it is a source of satisfaction to knew that its [ p an g aceeptahleness to the country at large affords a sure gum. tee of the continuance of our future peace. The twine temper with which the negotiation was conducted, is t h e i r several departments, by both governments, huvelis ence , ditable to their wisdom and moderation, am lave tee* served to elevate our own in the opinion of other 1111ilik " I sincerely believe that these effects cannot be too kid* appreciated ; and if any portion of our fellow-citirms, any section of the country, should feel that they lure ea, obtained all the territory or advantage's they had expect e d to acquire, it may be hoped they will nevertheless be seta fled that the national honour, so far from suffering, h e really been elevated by the result, and that, iq kee sen * . the blessings of peace, anal keeping our country ttfadily lac career of glorious prosperity, they will be amply ci . rapea. sated for any disappointment they may ha v e experi ence d , and gain far more than an equivalent for any tioahtfol stt vantage to be sought only through the instrumentality war. " Having now effaced, upon honourabl3 terms. the a._ cause that threatened the peace of two people of kindred origin, and associated by commercial relations more ens. tireand important than subsist between any other twoaatia b of the globe, may we not now hope to begin a new caner of international intercourse, and by the uninterrupted puma of commerce and the arts, extend and cement our relatims: It ought to ba considered as fortunate that these rem% have happened at a moment when, by the wisdom a., courage of British statesmen, a new and important sup been taken in the enlargement of commerce, by es hal, trade of different nations must be vastly extended, and _ motives of harmonious relations indefinitely multiplied ; as, between the United States and Great Britain especially, the causes which ought naturally to aaociate the tw a peopi, upon an honourable basis, and contribute to their mutual prosperity, may now have fair play, and our competi'iumi future be confined to a generous rivalry in all that eau a yance the happiness of the people of both countries sad mankind at large. " I would do injustice to the occasion, if I should omit state it as my opinion that, in the country and among th people I have just left, these expectations begin to be m t . , rally entertained ; and that the settlement of the Grease question will soon come to be universally regarded as do knell of those inveterate jealousies and feuds which, it m a y be apprehended, have so long exerted a mischievous influence over the people, if not over the councils, of both countries. " I may say with certainty, also, that whatever may ' thought of the result by some respectable portions of countrymen, the terms we have ultimately obtained, no le► than the vindication of our rights and the ultimate amoral of an honourable concession, have added another refutation to the charge of undue ambition, and to the imputation two our national faith and stability, not unfrequently made some quarters of Europe. " If these advantages be properly appreciated, the time not remote when all will be ready to acknowledge sad juice in the result. " The occasion may not be inapt to bear my testimor.y the sense universally entertained abroad of the emenmse and punctuality of the commercial classes of the time' States, and to the influence it has exerted in sustaini- American credit, in defiance of causes which 1 too deeply deplore to attempt at this time more particularly to allude to. I will add, too, that even these causes are beginning r feel the influence of juster views and a brighter hope; , that little more than a perseverance by some of our - - Fovernments in the exertion% to mainiain the pubic credit is needed to elevate our country to a proud and enviable among the nations of the earth."

Peace hat come too late to restore the lost one's. or to save the cross of St. George and the tri-color from those dark stains which the blood of outraged innocence and virtue have indelibly fixed upon them. History will record the burning shame; and, ages hence, the 'records of this century will unfold in their .bloody pages, a horrible evidence of the injustice of two of the most enlightened nations of our time. Mr. Brent (the late talented and patriotic representative of the United States at Buenos Ayres) left Monte Video in the brig Mary Jane for New York. Mr. B.'s son, in company with Mr. Graham.

A more infamous war than that waged against these two men by England and France, with the aid of a collection of au• from the banditti of all nations, could not well be found fa the annals of British aggression. And now, after in vain trying to force limas to yield the navigation of La Pis, the British at Monte Video put on a long face and deeb. that the project is relinquished, simply because its taus • would form a precedent that would enable the United , 1 • to claim the free navigation of the St. Lawrence, the tines having territories on both sides of La F! •• other words, if this country had only couitte aggression, it might have enured to her futur. at the sacrifice of our cherished ii • ' non-intervention, which European intrigue `" •• ' to have us abandon.
