Tee repeal of the navigation laws seems not des tined tote carried without a struggle, and perhaps without further disappointment. The majority last night was but Sky-siz ' and was received with load cheers by the protectionists. Their shouts plainly said : With merely such a majority as that fur repeal, the House of Lo;ds will reject it. The danger, however, comes not merely from the lords or from the protectionists, but from the supporters of the repeal, who have shown themselves divided, vacillating, and lukewarm. It was declared not to be a cabinet question ; and when ministers did not insist on their own frit nds rallying, how could they reckon upon others. Accordingly, a whig member has given aotice of moving an amendment for reciprocity. And Mr. Clunwrozz made • long speech to show that ministers should keep the prohibitive power of the navigation laws in their hands, in order to negociats let sad stipulate for reciprocity of relaxation, mini ally with the Americans. Mr. Lanoucazaz replied, that this meant eoespeUieg reciprocity by retaliation, which rush :d on he showed to be impossible and unequal with regard to America. But, notwithstusd ing the ezoeUent reply of the Seareter7 of the Board of Trade, the hones was shaken ; the majority, and each wavering free traders as Mr. Meier& were enooareged le come forward with diatribes against all Avalon of onumrree. -- - Thialc;vea the parliamentary prospects of ministers' commercial policy highly =satisfactory. THII Asattian cabinet has at length come forward with the measure long contemplated, the substitution of a chatter, drawn up by the wisdom and granted by the absolute will of the emperor, for the labours of the Coastitornt Assembly, summoned in consequence of the March rescind" mutilated and cruahob the military meoequest of Visans, but still allowed to linger on for a time at Bresasier, to ammo the liberals and keep Frankfort in good humor. Count STADIoN is the author of the new mastitis. tioa. He is a statesman known to be possessed by toe strong idea, which it is his determination to cony cot ; and this idea is to be for Austria what RlCHE uzu' was for France, the Sunder of an united empire.

And he will have a federal assembly for all the previous at Vienna, in two chamber', not unlike the constitution America. WiexOfess at ones that there is.boldneas as well as laterality in this attempt of Count STADION. And accompanied as it is with promises of all those sacred rights; that constitutional countries have struggled for, the right of religious freedom, of permed liberty, that of the pees, of meniation, of teaching, the announcement of the Austrian Moister is entitled to much respect. Decidedly Is we have written against the stupid court and the military barbarism of Austria, the effort of ,Count STADION creates the wish that his pvernment might reclaim and satisfy the brave tiengazian, the sullen Lombard, and the Austria's- Genoa, fanatic not for the empire of the Hape bnlanbut for the unity of Fatherland. t STADION'S COOlditaio9, however, looks far more fair and promising to the foreigner, who reads and judges it in tho abstract, than to any one of them varied and interested races to which it is addressed. First, with respect to the Lombards. They are not told what kind of a provisional constitution they are to I lavv. That is to be the subject of a separate and "tare :dale. Then the Hangs:lane—to them it !moat ha very palatable. It cuts up their country into atloutments, abolishes the most essential of their 1 2f?rvilages and laws, sweem away the politicel __Thumff and influence of their hereditary and landed 7mewe, and 'objects them, hitherto exempt from it, to the heavy debt and proportionate taxation of the Aus trian emp;re.

It doss not awes: that the _provincitl states are to have an u cbandim. The upper chamber of the imperial parliament or diet is elective, and requires wealth to • certain extent ; but hereditary rigida give no claim. Ties determination of the two gnat • sof Germany to do without shown of Lords and Lund their upper chamber upon election, is certainly:a very great and pregnant fact, and ens that will infallibly draw forth the choler and denunciation dour newspaper Smiles. Such are the thooglrts suggested by the first pe• runt of Count firsuion's onuititution. And we must own that we wish it more SOCCOIII than we hope for it. Perhaps it is the best ander the circumstances, and an snot entitles its anther to respect. Bat the great sins—the unity of the Austrian empire—is not a thing, in the poesi&lity, or durability of which we out bring ourselves to believe. There have been noses made to perish, hie the Celt and 0211 Red Indian. There have also been empires evidently formed to perish or dissolve in more natural groupings sad trap formation. Austria is one. As Mr. Maxim Oinsos has romised to being this day the state of the cc m.rcist nation between England and Brazil ander the consideration of the House of Commons, it will be noshl to state more at I Lags the oldections that are urged against Lord ADIRDLEVII act of 1845, to which the unsatisfactory stab of time relations ia ascribable. The enactment of the statute is defended under the elan Wade oonvention between Boglatd and Brasil, easieludod in 1826. Br the lit article of that oon viatica it erne agreed that: At the ezpiratiei of three yam, to bs leagued from the of W ratieswiew of the prom* treaty, it shell not it a w l E for the WOW§ of tbe lawn* of Bnul to be ma mas& in the over y*/ ea of the Afsisaa slam trade. under any pretext m la ormter wheelers, ; wad the carrying oa of mak trade afar that period by any perms, eabject of hie imperial Makity, shall be hued and treated ma piracy. - - The prnellsil operation of this article must, will lb a at once seen, depend on the question, Da the word. "not lawful " mean "contrary to international law," or "contrary to the notaticipal laws" of Brazil or the two nations? On the answer obviously hangs the interpretation of the lest sentence of the article, which provides that the carrying on of the African slave trade by subjects shall be deemed and treated as ; though not referring it for any stated pun' meat to any stated tribunal. A narrative of the two different, and even opposite, views of this article taken by our government, for merly and recently, will assist us in dealing with the qur.ion. It is now contended that the latter clause of the article oonferred on the British crown the right of tautLi . n& the subjects of Brazil when engaged or to be engaged in the African slave trade. - Ll7.7carry the article into practical effect, Lord ABERDEEN'S act of 1843 empowered British Vice- Admiralty Courts to adjudicate and condemn the ves sels of Brazilian subject. thus detained by the officers of the British crown. It is impossible not to be struck with the large and liberal interpretation which this application gives to the language Cl the article; and with the antagonism of that interpretation to those well-established rules of conatraction which, regarding all penal classes in treaties as odious, restrict and limit their meaning mush se language will allow, and oppose any delegation Cl sovereign power by way of verbal interim,. It is a view of the we which gets rid at coos of all difficulties of marten:Aloe ; rt breaks through all precision of language; it overleaps all the rules of that art which Gamma helped to form, and which Vertu. des. It squally disregards the historical ruso eas n of the convention. Lord ABILIDNIN, however, in promulgating this in terpretrtion implaisaely attempted to show that the Brazilian goveranrat had, during the years of negotia tion which proemial that astute, inferentially assented on one or two ocemicas to each a raiding of the treaty. , But herein his lardeldp signally failed. He succeeded only in calling alb alma to the tact that the Foreign office had held ea opinion formerly st variance with that which it was then thought convenient to advance. All that he was able team was that Brazil ought to have made the slave trade piracy by h.r law. And the Brazilians might easily have retorted, and pro duoed passages from British diplomatic notes to prove that oar ggoo t regarded the first article merely as an obligation an to make the slave trade piracy by Brazilian maniciEsl _law. Thus, for instance, in February, 1838, Lord PALMalurros himself, for the basis of his demand that article, that Brazil should make a law inflicting the pawky of piracy on the infractors of the treaty. Again, on the 12th of November , 1843, the British minister at Rio Weaned the Foreign mightier of Brazil in these remadable words: let aride d tbe soottelke d MK the Predika brit toile eseseime eta law ak - ;=iesa =tie abedi be &Waved Mid b7= rd of me** d tbe=te iligliseted is it be deemed to be eel be treated as a And wen ea late am the Mat of March, 1848, Lord PALIIIIISTON IA slip oat * Mr. Hares committee this significant admission : The treaty says that the bliss eimarned la the slave Pi by ass i ll aw eeillsa shalt be denied and treMed as Ping. riptm the emillen• et c= s er n ala have pored a ea seseminess allk "By rights r Why,. if sub were the • rights' of io t e l r te p =gemeat, what potence remains ler the on width the eat et 1845 wee haneed P Haying by thus eantruting the mutually 'antra dialshryrentatirpeetatione width Se Fords his at these advsitud e eitend the we; tie an independent and dispaseimati ezeminalien of the cape, Ist us look at the snide, :and at *a /minions of other authoritisethan *seed Downing4trest, for our selves. It is, it will be obsteved,uniiMmal or one-sided : it contains no Miuh&R on the part of the Brill* VITOWII urreimog to that interso . a into by Brazil. And the omission explains the of the obliga tion contracted by the latter. When thin convention wee conelndid the slave trade was, by British !legis lation, subject to all the penalties of piracy. It is an reseonable to suppose that the British soureign sought to obtain from the Emperor of Baum wee than the British *hiatus had done ; and that was to make British subjects liable to be punished by Bri tish courts of justice as Eons when convicted therein of slue trading. Had been ought, the dignity of a sovereign state wouhave required an nal con credos en the part of Ragland.- Had it beta inteadd to convert the slave trade into the mate of inter- Rational piracy as affected British and Brazilian gab- Jame, the contract would have been a mutual one. And that theiutiole only related. to Brazilians is a woof that its tree signification. is that Bread eheuld plass the slave trade in the . same catalogue of mimeo by its municipal legislation u Great Britain has done. And main the later pretation which one of the ablest dour lawyers and moot learned of our aathori , ties on subjects of international law, has affixed to the article. In reply to a haul cue submitted hr Mr. M. D. Hriz's opinion, that gentleman,amisted by a junior counsel, wrote as follows: • are of spialon that the let amide of the treaty e' 1828, does not coulee on the British sovereign any rights whatsoever over Brazilian vessels or @objects named in um save trade, under the Brazilian Beg ; sad that the right of search and raised emansinsion being now at an end, all the jariedietion ever ceniernd or that severeiga by the mask * articles has weed. We think that secordine to the true oonetraction of the Ist Wick, the Brazilian Emperor did merely contract with the King of Great Britain that the Bnzilian legislature should, withk a aortae period, mast a municipal law asking the slave trnie 1111.1 sad nakbabie as piracy; and that the failure, Thallair hem inability at unwilliogarss to perform this sligaialisa, sithough it might possibly have been a gaol awe el war }g ismo& the two countries -- seheribeme meld not THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 13, 1849. 1= Great Britsh ew f = sa le ssato bs7ll l l r. istiv t = IW• et eighths that the An 8 sad ft e. 11 . % baba headed sa sa Heger sewassies, is laVve sad hid eA r egr o = siedw eldriests i tt e ßre=d i ehs* rairyh a g i. a died la his wry, air 'shit apt Is tv: m ksove- V.

The warning of this high authority west - subsided, and the consequence is a mass of incoesistent illega lities. The treaty speaks awe ' subjects ;" the act refers only to property, sad Ao oording to the Brkish construction Ire moonven time, Brazilian slavers, when captured, ought to be treated as pirates and hung at the yard-arm ,• yet. ender the est, these is no authority even to detain them. The treaty Offer mentions property ; yet the act authorises the *caseation of property. Nay,. more monstrous still ; the slave crew of a Brazilian ship may, after its capture. and before condemnation, rise on and murder the British prise crew, without being liable to any penalty. "As the law now steads," Lord PALM:IB2ON told Mr. Hurr's committee last session " there does not appear to be aa a t ar power of punishing the Brazilians for k or cr wounding any of the British prise crew. The muss is committed in a Brazilian vessel, and upon the high seas ; the vessel not having been condemned, is still Brazilian property, and them is a doubt whether a British court ceishl tale mini m= of an offence not committed on British terri tory, or within British jurisdiction." Yet if the Bei tab interpretation of the let article of the tasty of 1826 be worth a rush,. the men thus lulling and wounding the British prize crew are pirates. What. then are we to think of this hesitation P Does it not evince a want of confidence in the eonstruction our government has given to that treaty ? If it be sol clear as to leave no doubt, why are British prize crews thus unprotected spinet murder and violence P In this hesitation, ta this admimion, of Lord P. I MERSTOR'S, there la a teat to the validity of Lord Anzapszte's act, which establishes its inoomiistency with and variance tram the treaty, which proves be yond cavil that the Foreign-411os has no faith in its own interpretation of the treaty. These, then, are the objections to the act of 1845:- 1. That it is founded on a forced and arbitrary con struction of the let article of the treaty of 1820. 2. That it is in point of law a violation of the rights of Brazil as an independent sovereign state. 3. Theft it is at variance with the eoastruction plead by the British Kovernment on that article previously to the termination by Brazil of the right of search. And what are the countervailing advantages of the statute ? Does it enable our cruisers to repress the slave trade P Why, in 1847 there were (Lord PAL MERSTON confessed to Mr. Hair's committee) 60,000 slaves imported into Brazil notwithstanding its operation. Does it give us power over Bruit? Why, Brazil has baud a decree imposing in January next differential duties on our goods and ships, and refusestet. o productive of nothing but mischief—of un mitiga mischief. It has made us appear in the attitude of a bully, substituting might for right; it has not lessened the extent of the slave trade; whilst it is endangering our lawful trade. And, lastly, it is an unnecessary piece of mischief for Brazil is willing to reeonoede the right of search, under certain guarantees and limitations; and it is the fault not of her government but of our Foreign office that the Ist article of the treaty of 1826 is now the only slave-trade stipulation between the two countries. laa 6 h? *mid = fft, fraelisold dais, throst nessasble fa , tad whit the ireffistisa et slate ; sad ith, the sossidse ethos Peelle et Leask 1 la doe* wary pe the Isaa rt figurers teddy ha heat shakos la Ile howdahs@ ; almost everywhere bas IS ham rasissed al& by the ream efforts at A...a. ,.$ ed=kal viiis tsety.

BERLIN, MARCH O. Every one is absorbed by the newt; which came yesterday fram Austria. You will have received directly the intelligence that the Kremsier Diet has' been dissolved, a constitu•ion octroyee with two chambers, and a high electoral qualification; seven of the deputies delivered over to the kw, and four of Latour's assassins executed. In oonseqnenee of the Danish notification of the cessation of the armistice of Malmiit, the Central l government bas agreed with the Prussian to move forward 20,000 men to the frontier. Prussia furnishes 10,000, which are not to be of the guard this time, but of the line regiments. Tne remaining troops will be furnished by the other north German states, and 7 battalions by Saxony. FRANKFORT, MARCII 7. The much talked of coldiVon between the Aus trians and the Left, which has never had an exist ence if " coalition " implies a definite compact be tween two parties, is more and more in danger if leading to no result. The Left, true to their princi ples, world have accepted a directory instead of at emperor, but they demand a Oren and united oet fral and to this Austria is as resolutely opposed as the whole mob of little German move reigns. The Left, with the assistance of the Aus trians, have gained a complete victory in the first de bate on the electoral law, but it now appears that ate friends and successors of Metternich haws only sought to make the Left their du= supported liberal opinions on the they of the electoral law, with a mental ree servation that they might assail them on the second. This is the reason why the Left insist upon h:11 the electoral law read a second time before the s reading of the constitution comes on. Every time that they have made this proposal, a majority of the Austrians have voted against them. The cionsequenee is, that the whole of the Left now see clearly that the Austrians have only beets trying to gain time, it order to act at last as their private interests may dictate. Whilst the so-called coalition is thus evaporating, the ultra reactionaries are making approaches to the party who are for Prussia and an emperor. One of the ultra leaders, M. Ebel, of Munich, said is a-recent speech that if Austria d:d not promptly and unequivocally declare what it would be at, he and his Mends would vote for a German constitution without Austria. He added: "We wish to see Austria it into Germany, but if Austria does not desire to become part of Germany, then we wish to emiltiermany organised without Mettle." Since this speech was delivered the Right have been flattering themselves that their point is carried—that the ultras will five them a majority. Bat they arc premature in this; for the ultras will take got?' care not to sup port such a constitution of the empire as Prussia cos templates. What may be their final declaration it is not easy to foresee, but it assuredly will not be. "Long live the King of Prussia, Emperor of Ger many!" The present state of affairs, however, increases the courage of the Prussian party, both is the Assembly and out of doors. Many who have hitherto leaned Is it in secret now declare for it openly.
