T..../...-11•MS. ~ma Os. LONDON, MONDAY. JUNE 24. Tees principal and the reiterated sophism on which the amphibious enemies of the foreign policy of the whig administration base their arguments, Is • con founding of the two terms and the two parties, con stitutional and democratic. The high tones of oppo sitions are plain and intelligible. They deprecate constitutional government and its progress any and everywhere, except at home, where they personally profit by it. Bat such Politicians es these have neither bold nor voice in the country, and the organs which desire to give them force are compelled to assume a liberalise' which they do not feel—a Mimi which dors not prevent them, however, from denouncing as revolutiorary and subversive every attempt ou the part of the enslaved people of despotic countries to obtain ever so moderate a portioh of freedom. Fifteen-sireenthe of this country would ell hands at toe successful assertion of their liberties an rights by these people; and this not merely from the desire which every generous man must have to see other nations free as his own, but because the deve lopment of • middle class, and its industry and its freedom, creates in other motet's classes, and inte rests, s-d ideas, congenial to our own. Wherever there is a free country, there Eogland may expect to find friend,; there it may expect to find cus'omers and to meet with reciprocity of trade; and if the agricultur.sts, the femme, and landlords of this coun try have one interest more vital and 1 teasing than another, it is precisely that of seeing the end of serfdom, of despotiopovereigoty and landlordism on those shores of the Baltic, the Mediterranean, and the Black Sea, to which we look for provision su pply. The protectionists may fear that the English farmer can not compete with the serf; bat they know be cannot IN undersold by the cereal productions of a free and wealthy people. English interests, whether moral or religion., political re economical, are for the extension of liberty all over the world, not in that extreme degree and by those violent jumps which lead to nothing durable, but by the temperate progress which consti tutional can best ensure. This English policy has, in oar opinion, the carver-stone and cardinal principle of the present Whig administration. We wilt not say that they have not committed faults, and derogated from this great principle in Portugal, in the lonian is;ands, and elsewhere. We have attacked and will attack them on this point ; but oa the whole their tendencies have been liberal, and to overthrow them for these tendencies would be to inetall in their places a rtactionary and despot hugging administra tion. We have now to choose between one and the other —between a PALMERSTON and an ABERDEEN. For every one must be aware, thst even if Lord CLARR.N- D IN, or any other whig, were put in the place of the present Foreign Smeary as the re snit of the onslaught of the House of Lords, it is plain, that he conid no longer pursue a whig or a liberal policy. He must chime in with the " three mighty powers." He must do, as it pleases the French at Athens, as it pleases Russia at S:. Petersbur:, and as it pleases Austria in Italy and Sicily. So evident indeed is this, that there is cot the least schism or difference in the cabinet; even the most timid and conservative of that cabinet admitting that the pre sent triumph of the enemies of Lord PALMERSTON, would put such a total extinguisher upon a liberal foreign policy in England, that nothing but a popular revolotion would put the country in a strong, and natural, and honourabie position again. We believe, however, that those amongst us who really lose despotic governments are few. But there exists a poeocosrante school which says, what to us ars the revolutions, the advances, or retrocession' of con tinental states ? AU that England requires is to be on good terms with whatever is uppermost abroad. If Kosturn wins, lot us hail him as a b-other ; if IitYNAL: is the victor, let us congratulate and ap plaud him in the midst of his executions. It is easy for this school of all pc triage, and no principle to blame what has been done, and to lay down what should have been done after all is over. But statesmen cannot be prophets, nor can they be each waiters on time as to suspend and defer opintoa. Lord PALMER FTON, in common with every man who has a soul above the calibre of a diplomatic pimp, did but hope ad believe that the movements in filly and in Germany would lead to the introduction and este bli.liment of some degree of coostitational freedom. That he did believe this, constitutes the crime for which be is now plotted against and arraigned. Austria cannot forgive his hopes of Italian freedom Russia cannot pardon his respect for Hungarian independer.m. And France, which has made herself the cat's-paw of Austria at Rome, and the tool of Rosie. in Greece, abhors • statesman that maintains England in an at-itude disapproving tyranny, ligotry, and reaction. The crime of Lord Ethmertstox is in fact his htv log bad • policy and an opinion, and his having done Lis utmost in Italy and elsewhere to direct and encourage the beet intellects of the nation in the path of moderate and constitutional reform. And in this he would have succeeded, had not the perverse obeti atinacy of ouch rulers as the King of NAPLES and the Viceroy of Lombardy opened the way for aa out break of wild democracy, the two extremes thus rushing to mortal combat, and extinguishing the hopes of anything rational or liberal springing up Intim n them. _ And now, because despotism has prevailed over dunceracy, Lord PALMER.STOS is blamed for cot hav ing sided with despotism from the first, with not hav ing scooted the Hangarians and aided the Austrians to Overcome Italy, with the vindictiveness, but with out the excuse of 1816. To have done this would have been what the Austro-Russian organs please to call our Esiglob policy. And in truth it is now for the House of Commons to answer the challenge, and decide what is English policy. If it be our English policy to approve of the successive abolitions of Polish independence and Hungarian rights —if it be oar English policy, that Italy should be partitioned between the Austrian police and the papal inquisition—if it be an English policy to deiiver up the Sicilians, to whom England gasw• constitution, to that perjured King of NATLEQ, who can swear and unswear a constitution, and send all who followed him in either curb to a dungeon —if the butcher and women-flogger HATNAU be a hero to English mind and tare—if it be an English policy to deliver up the Sultan to be bullied with impunity, and not to dare to send a vessel within the Dardanelles as a token that we are near and can assist him— if it be an English policy to protect every fraud and admit every wrong that a monarch of our own crea tion, King Onto, may thing proper to inflict, in vengeance on our advising him to be liberal and just —then truly the House of Commons had better declare it to the world as soon se possible. It concerns, indeed, not only the European world, but England herself, to decide whether the foreign policy in which we glory and in which we will persevere, is that of Queen EIJZABITH, who protected freedom abroad, and who was so hated by despots on that account that they sent the Armada to punish her—whether our policy is, in fact, that of Etinernr, or of bloody and pu aillanizeous haven MARY, who sold Calais, as she would have sold the realm and honour of England, to the foreign prince, whom she loved better than anything English ? The House of Commas should decide and deduce, whether the hours foreign policy of the country is to be that of JAMES I. Of of L'IOMMELL— of CHARLES and limas 11., who were the pensioners of France, or of King who was the libe rator of England and of Europe ? Is our policy to be that of a MAELD0l01:011 or a HARLEY—of a CIIATILUI A policy ko so Railiminess tho titbit %Won coseeraed, - _ °Onions we cannot hide. Nor would it be of say us e 11Wri minister to conceal them himself, when the modes is accustomed to think and to speak aloud. Embolism& Eaalishisen are at all times ready to form their a* aloe from the justice of a cause, not the chances stile sateen; sand when the geed muse does fail of masses, that is not a reason why we should put forth a dis avowal, and after having supported a minister thirty years, when the liberal sages which he patronised was suemeeful, abandon and morifloe him, because there has been • thane of hewn. Whitever be English, each conduit as this decidedly is not. Tut injury to the Manchester Rectory Bill threatened by tie Biala of SALISBURY in the Lords' committee, has, we Motes to hear, been resented in that city; for on Friday last, at a meeting of the " Association of Mensbersi the Establalsed Church for promoting a Affirm us the Beeksiastiat Pro mising for the Parsai of Massekester," more numer ously attended than any previous assembly of that society, a series of very strong resolutions was unani mously adopted 'guest the projected injustice, and a deputation appoietad to confer thereon with the Bishop of MANCILESTSII,WhO, it is satisfactory to add, is just as much opposed to the proposition of his bro ther prelate as the promoters of the bill. What the Bishop of SALISBURY proposes is this— that the amount of payments which the Ecclesiastical Commission have fur some years been making, at the rate of 1,5001, a year, to several ecclesiastical districts in the city, shall constitute a primary charge on the sur plus to be obtained by the bill now before parliament, sod that the Ecclesiastical Commission shall, after its enactment, either altogether withdraw or greatly re duce their present contribution of 1,5001. a year to the spiritual wants of Manchester. Now, to this proposition there are insuperable ob jections, in its essential injustice, in its mischievous tendency to deprive Manchester of the benefits of the measure now before parliament for many years, and in its inconsistency with the principle of the bill, vie., that cure of souls lies in the collegiate clergy. Apparently, it is burdensome that Manchester should take 1,5001. a year from the insolvent and bankrupt capitular fund of the Ecclesiastical Com mission. But the fault rests, not with the laity or working clergy of Manchester, but with its chaptet- and the Ecclesiastical Commission itself. In preparing the Capitular Revenues Act, the latter body proceeded in the case of Manchester on the assump tion that its collegiate church was in substance a capitular institution ; whereas the truth was that it is a corporation aggregate founded for the better per formance of parochial duties in a huge and cumbrous parish. Actiug on this misapprehension, the commie lion called for returns of the revenues of the college. Those returns exhibited an average yearly income of 7,5001. a year. Upon the statement of such an in come, the L'apitular Revenues Act converted the ree -1 giate into the cathedral church of Manchester, made its warden a dean, and its four fellows canons, and gave them stipends amounting to 6,0001. a year. By this arrangement the Ecclesiastical Commission would, it is calculated, be in receipt of 1,5001. a year from the collegiate, or cathedral, or, more properly speaking, the p arish church of Manchester ; which would be applicable to the endowment of new districts and churches in the city. When these handsome incomes were secured by statute, then the chapter clergy of Manchester stated that their returns had been misunderstood, and that their actual revenues were under 6,0001., instead of 7,300/.; consequently there was no surplus to pay over to the Ecclesiastical Commission. Still the spiritual wants of Manchester were, from the neglect of their ob ligations by the collegiate clergy, so great, that the Ecclesiastical Commission from its other funds con tributed 1,500!. a year to Manchester. And it is re payment of that yearly allowance which Bishop Drumm is now seeking, under the pretence of eco nomy, to recover from the chapter, or rather the parish property ; without, however, as we proceed to show, the shadow of justice. Had this 1,5001. &yew been granted to Manchester by the Hcleeiastical Cora -1 mission when there was any probability of a surplus coming to that body from the chapter or parish estates, something might be said iu favour of Dr. Desisox's claim. But as the grant was made with a fall knowledge that there was no surplus, and as the Ecclesiastical Commission has no legal authority to treat grants cf this sort as a debt to be repaid, the claim is a mere attempt to deprive the church laity of Manchester of the benefit of a surplus which they, and not the Ecclesiastical Commission, are now creat ing for particular and special purposes, and it looks very much like a scirvy piece of episcopal spite at the in terference of the laity with church property, even though their inter erence has for its object the church's welfare and extension. But Dr. DENISON'S claim IS founded on a complete misapprehension of the position of the chapter or parish property. It has now been decided by both Commons' and Lords' committees, and by the House of Commons, that the cure of souls of the parish of Manchester, with its 400,000 inhabitants, lies in the dean and canons as rectors. It, therefore, irre sistibly follows. that the ordinary parochial duties of that great parish, and the common services of the church therein, are the first charge on the property of the rectory of Manchester, and that until those duties and services are fully and cunpletely provided for, the cathedral clergy, in their character as such, as distinguished from their character as rectors or parochial clergy, have no clam on that property. And the force of fairs crgu meet, carried to its legitimate conclusion, involves the payment of the Dean of Manchester as dean, and the canons as canons, from some other source than the property now charged with care of souls of the parish. What can be a mare crying evil and a more flagrant injustice, than to provide for a cathedral chapter out of the revenues of a parish when the clergy are so inadequate in number to the wants of the population, and, at the same time, so scantily endowed—when, in short, some of them are occasionally in want of a dinner? If, then, Bishop DENISON will raise this question of repayment, he must be prepared for the cense quence—vis , fur an agitation to throw the payment of the cathedral clergy of Manchester from the perish revenues= to the capitular revenues of the Ecclesias tical Commission : for we can assure him that the very moderato and reasonable provisions of the bill which he is busily endeavouring to emasculate, have been very reluctantly accepted by the more ultra churchmen of Manchester as a compromise of the question. The bill already gives the Ecclesiastical Commis sion far too much power to meddle, and make with, and to mar church property and church policy in Manchester; and to wend it back to the Commons with clauses that will enable, as Dr. DENISON wishes, the Ecclesiastical Commission to avert its Immediate benefits from Manchester to the coffers of that ill administered body, will only create a collision between the two houses: for it is a principle that will be re si4ted to the uttermost by the church reformers la the Commons. And sorely there is a very great indecency in the Bishop of SALIIIIORY thus attempting to alter, to vary, and to upset arrzngements made by the Bishop of MANCIIJIMR with the churchwardens of that city about the property of the church therein. He might, we submit, And much more suitable occupation in en deavouring to teach better manners to the notorious Vicar of East &sat, or to venture oa his sobriquet, to " liv. Omuta without the (dragon) drag-oo." When superintending the dimes* of Bath and Wells (during Dr. LAW'S incompetency) he gave his brother (the Rev. G. A. Dantene) the beet living that became vacant therein ; and ever since, that person has been very industricusly disturbing the pesos of the church by his folly and his unties.

The meeting of the members of the audacity ou Thursday night at the club of the Conseil d'Etat to deliberate on the course to be adopted in regard to the Dotation-Bill was very numerously attended ; the debate, which lasted till midnight, in Wbich all the great conservative loaders figured, was animated In the extreme; aid the °occlusion, as far as any minolis aloft can be said to have been adapted, was far less fa vourable to the government than ministers hoped. About 300 representatives were present; M. Placa tory took the chair. Duple, Montalembert, de Broglie, Thum, spoke strenuously in favoer of the government bill. They acknowledged the utseasoosblenees and impolicy of the application, but it would be a still greater blunder to weaken the executive by throwing it out. Such a course would deprive the majority of the fruit, of their victory on the electoral law, and bring on an antagonism between the go vernment and the Assembly fatal to the progress of conservative legislation. M. de Montalembert, who seldom ventures on a set speech without biting some body, made this time a furious onslaught on the kgi mist.. He was fresh from the Me d'Or, and harsh as young Beaune. On the bead of the legitimists would light the responsibility of the struggles and divisions that would plague Fracas if the law of the three millions were thrown out. During his voyage the only legitimists he bad seen were in the cha teaux. The blood of Larochejacquelin chafed at the imputation oast upon the loyal peasantry. Berryer thundered indignant denial. For the rest he would espouse a vote that would only settle the past, nor effect any change for the present or the future in the constitutional position of the President. He would vote • grant I f two millions. The motion of M. Kerdrel, explained in previous letters, was backed by a large number of moderates, who wish to make it the pivot of ur.derstandirg with the government. M. Titters said he was neither • republican nor a Bonapartist, yet be should vote for the bill. Jules de Lasteyrie ch;med in with Berryer's two millions ; Laruchejacqutlin, having been teased by interjections from his own sec., which begged he would speak for himself and not in the name of the legitimists, fairly lost hie temper, and apostrophised MM. Bechard and Ressignier in language which pointed to the Bois de Boulogne as the fittest place for settling their dispute. Three sets of second, were appointed, who arranged the matter pacifically. The s Wag broke up after midnight in greet agitation. The legitimists were to meet sgain on the fullowing night. It seemed likely that many would disavow the line taken by Berryer. An unfortunate inter loper, who had crept into the meeting in order to furnish a newspaper with a faithful report of this extraordinary meetiog, was detected, and politely requested to absent himself from the diacusiion. 'fhe members of the majority belonging to the club of the Rue Richelieu, met last night to agree upon the terms of an amendment on the I)otation Bill favourable to the government. The five members of toe minority of the committee, MM. leiverrier, Le febre, Darnfie, Buroux, Augustine Giraud, and For tool, were present. Several members, fresh from the country, spoke of the favourable reception of the bill in the departments. The amendment of the five, which only differs from the bill of the government by the insertion of the word "extraordinary," was pre tented by M. Dampierre before "tap. news." To-day nothing of importance occurred in the As sembly. M. Chevrix complained that dozuments relative to the budget, particularly thus@ concerning civil pensions, were not forthcoming. After some words from M. Fould, the Assembly passed o the order et the day. The report on the Press Bill is ready. The prin ciple of a postage sump is definitively adopted, and very favourable to the departmental press. The Patric contains a communication of ministers, in answer to the latest despatches published by the English pipers on the Greek question, which is stripped of all interest by the definitive settlement of the dispute. The Mondeur says:—" The Minister of Commerce has submitted to the examination of the Council of State a bill for modifying the tariffs of sugar and c Afee. The bill, which has been examined by the Council-General of Agriculture, Manufactures, and Commerce, enacted th_t the new legislation should come into effect for the Ist July. It is, however, no longer permitted to hope that such can be the case. After the examination of the Conceit of State, the bill will have to be submitted to the legislitive assembly, where it will have to he read three times, which will require a long delay. It is even difficult to foresee the period at which the new bill will be adopted, but the government will do all that depends on it to hasten the vote, and, if necessary, to carry it into execution." Official returns show that, from the beginning of l the lesson for manuffc'oring sugar up to the end of May, the quantity of sugar produced was 60,000,000 kilogrammeP, though in the corresponding period of last year it was only 37,000,000 kilos. The consump- tion, however, did not increase to the same extent ; there remained on hand in the manufactorits 14,000,000 kiloP., and la the r ntn-pote 6,000,000 kilos , whilst last year the quantities were only 10,000,000 and 3,000,000 kilos. We find the following in the S ,lui Pu6lie of Lyons of the 19th :—" M. de Laminate passed through our city yesterday, en route for Smyrna. In order, doubt less, to avoid any demonstration, he had int rmed no one of his arrival, except some privilegi d friend.. About eleven o'clock be left the hotel by a door which opine on to the Huai du Rhone, end embarked on board a steam-boat which was to convey him to the Bomb." 8 MOAT A PTIRNOON. • A cabinet council was held yesterday at the Elyeke. It is reported that the government agreed to adopt the amendment of the club of the Itue Rieheleu, which proposes to grant neon the budget of 18.50, a credit of 2,160,000 fr. for the extraordinary ex penses of the presidency in 1819 and 1830. This sum, together with the 1,200,000 fr. which the Pre sident actually receives, and the 240,000 fr. charged on the budget of public works for keeping up the Elysee, makes exactly the 3,600,000 fr. dem an d e d by the government bill. The legitimist club of the Rue de Rivoli have not succeeded in bringing their divergencies to a conclu sion. The amendment of Dampierre, which pro- poses an extraordinary grant of 2,160,000 f., charge able upon the budgets of '49 and '6O, takes from the bill its permanent character, its monarchic principle and look of civil list, and is therefore adhered to by many. A similar amendment, but not distributing the credit between the two years, was adopted by the club of the Rue Richelieu. If the bill pass, there is, beyond doubt, an intention to bring forward a pro position for a decennial prolongation of the President's power. This is already openly spAren of. The meeting of the club of the Coneeil d'Etat last night was lest crowded and considerably calmer than that of Friday. It was known that the nucleus of cohesion would be the amendment adopted by the club of the Rue Richelieu, which grants the money demanded by ministers; but, by the insertion of the ward " extraordinary" before "expense'," leaves the Amembly with hands untied for the next year. Fre quent in'erviewe have taken place between tne chiefs of the parliamentary majority and the President and ministers, in order to prevail on the government to aooept this amendment. MM. Btrryer, de Broglie, and Mole represented the great exertions which had been made to procure the acceptance of this modifica tion of the ministerial project, and hoped that the government would not lean too bard on the maj or ity, and rick a collision with the Assembly, by an uremia promising adherence to its Brat resolution. The least imprudence might preei °Mate ari open rupture between the executive and legislative powers, lo i rr it a bl e a eusoeptibility and distrust prevailedamong all part's'. It is reported that the government surrendered to these arguments and agreed to adopt th e amen d ment in quetMon. Yesterday, at the end of the sitting, people were employed In calculating the opposition to the bill. It was made out that 126 members of toes w eal against it. Thoth 125 vote, to 360 glee of the Moantainitiaeleift, apt the tiers- • giv ien fatal of 375 against thobill, &ado as sot seeea.than Ail mambo's will be d at the division, it weellethisi at the first IA time the eceetaeat is pi testy sore of being beaten. • B a t t .extraordinary perverseness of the extreme Left .ia determiniag to oppose any increase whatever of the Preside &novena, is calculated to modify chums, soinewbat In the ministers. In fact in the debate on Mandy OWN distinct opinions will dispute the field; the San is the • asHeisierial pre set, which will b. advocated by MM. niers, Niontalembeet, de Broglie, sad the party whose organs In the press are the Constitetionnel and the Dia Deeembre r the second is the amendment of the committee, supported by MM. Croton, de Mornay, Flaudin, three-fourths of the legitimists, the tiers parti, arid some of the members of the Left; the third is the radical opinion maintaired in the committee by M. &Lewd., which would leave the President's past expenditure at his own charge, without adding a sons to his future allowance. Of course the last opinion will only be supported by the Mountain. The serious contest will lie between the government and the committee. But if the Left stand up with the party of Thieve and Montalembert against the corelusion of the committee, it is pretty more of being thrown out. Then the bill of the government will stand a good chance of parniag. The moment is a critical one, and the contest is at bottom between the burgraves and their reactionary policy on the one hand, and the constitutional republicans on the other. A better opportunity for, turning the scale in the favour of the latter could hardly occur. In the meantime the Potwar, organ of the Elyse*, abates no jot of its menacing tome, and talks of a project of national subscription, the pro gramme of which is to convey . a censure upon the As sembly. Such a document;sigeed by millions, would, it pays, completely destroy the authority of the legis lative power. The committee of the budget of lesl sits in perma nence, and has completed its work all to two minis tries. The report is expected before the end of the month; and the debate will then take place probably in the first fortnight in Jul). The fagged legislators are extremely anxious to begin their holidays with August; but if the dotation question Is not settled in a manner satisfactory to the President end the As sembly, the Litter will probably give up all notion of prorogation is order to be prepared for all events. In the Assembly yesterday Pierre Leroux gave vent to a strange medley of jargon in defence of PO cisliesn, which drew roars of laughter, and was finally set aside for tho order of the day. A letter from Toulon, of the 19th inst.. announces the arrival on the preceding evening of Baron Oros, the late minister plenipotentiary at Greece. The tome letter states that one of the Levant steamers from Marseilles bad been put in quarantine at Leg horn, Civita Yea:ibis, and Naples, on account of the death, iu the port of Marseilles, of a sailor in a Brazi lian ship, of yellow fever. The bureaux of the Assembly on the law of the press of the colonies, at their sitting of yesterday, ap proved generally elite provisions. They considered that the exceptional state of the colonies required an exceptional legielatiov ; that the establishment of the triul by jury was impracticable, as the emancipated slaves were alike ignorant of their rights and duties. M. Betting de Laocastel, who has been governor of the Isle of Bourbon, and several other representatives of the majority, spoke in favour of the project, which was violently opposed by the members of the Moun tain. A committee was appointed. Several versions on the dismissal of General d'Hautpoul have been in circulation. Some affirm that he will be succeeded by G-neral Bareguay d'Hilliers ; others by General de Grammont. Oa the I other hand, several members of the majority assert that M. d'ilautpoul, having assembled all the heads of bin department of the ministry, assured them that the President of the hepublic expressly desired him to retain his portfolio. M. Bszile Ule, the editor of La Feuille ila Village, was condemned yesterday by default to 4,000 fr. fine and two years' imprisonment, for an article bring an attack on the principles of family and property, and exciting the citizens to hatred one against another.

ROMAN STATES. The Count Pompee di Compello. who was recently arrested, has been transferred to the port of Ancona. He was minister of war under the provisional govern ment, atd • deputy, and is charged with improper application of the funds of his ministry. The Tuscan journals are strictly prohibited. PIEDMONT. Advises from Pavia, of the 15th, state that Marshal Radetaky, accompanied by Lieutenant-Marshal Bchwarteenberg, General Benedick, and some engi neers officers, inspected the frontiers near that place that mot ning, and immediately leit far Nlayenta and Buffalora, also to examine the frontiers. The marshal informed the mayor that the object of his visit was exclusively milita7, and was to inspect the two paints of passage for Piedmont. Two strong detachments had arrived at Abbia- Tegrasso, where usually there was only stationed a small detachment of gendarmerie. The marshal's object is said to be to render the passage of the Tessin as difficult as that of the l'n, by constructing 14 forts between Seeto-Calendo and the embouchure of the Tessin. The works are to be begun in eight days. NAPLES. Our Paris correspondent stye that a lettcr from the French Mediterranean et, off Naples, of the 13th inst., brought by the Vedette steamer, which touched at th at port, stake that there was an extraordinary movement in that port.

Employes of government were still unpaid, and 55W discount on their bill.. The Americans are about making their claim on the empty exchequer of Portugal. The Mississippi (steam-frigate) had arrived, and will be followed by the American frigate Independence, 64, from Gibraltar, to enforce their claim. The country was mea ntime tranquil, and at Lisbon the municipal authorities are employed in improving Ills city notwithstanding that the tazes (public and local) are very great. A Spanish packet-ship had arrived at Vigo from the Havannab, and was perform ing quarantine there. At Lislyni some disgraceful seises of drunkenness, by "liberty men" from the English squadron, hid taken place, and in one in stance the guard of patrol had been disarmed, and report mid that two Englishmen had been wounded in the wile: another report added that one was dead. Oor correspondent writes, on the 18th, as follows : " The Prometheus, the Indefatigable, the Birken head, and the Thetie, have sailed. It is reported the Hogue is to leave to-morrow for Malta, and some other frigate is also to sail. The Duke of Lrnehten berg, after having visited antra, Mafra, and all the objects worthy of inspection, and being sumptuously treated by Dukes Palmella, Terceira, and others . , left in a Russian steamer, ac co mp an i e d by th e frigate Palls., on the 12th. " Notwithstanding the cruel manner in which the Portuguese are treated in the Brazils, it is wonderful the number of emigrants from the Azores and the northern provinces. The disgraceful way in which the officers of the Flvoramonte convection continue to be treated has called forth the sympathies even of their enemies, and it is to be expected :hat the foreign powers who were parties to it will see them have ju•- tioe. The cruelty evinced by Donna Maria against her uncle, Don Miguel, in trying to reduce him by famine and misery, is so eerading and indecorous to her, as well u to the crowned heads to whom he is nearly related, that it has excited the feelings of this nation, and the students of the Coimbra University have drawn out a protest against the decision of the government, prohibiting the committees to raise subscriptions in his favour. " A pamphlet was clandestinely distributed amongst the deputies, under the title ' War to all Monopoly,' advomting the principles of free trade, printed at Madeira. They attribute it to M.

The Asia, Commodore Judkins, arrived at Liver plc' early on Saturday morning (as we announced in that day's impression). after a passage from Boston of 9 days and 14 hours, and from Halifax in 63 days. Lopez is said to have been arrested at New Orleans, in conformity with instrucions from the President. We have received, Halifax, the following telegraphic news from New York to the 13th Mar. [TELEGRAPHIC PROM NEW TORE.] HALIFAX (N. 8 ), Jura 13,1 i All anxiety on Cuban affairs is now at an end. Latest intelligence states that all questions relating to pris7ners is referred to Washington, to be adjusted between Mr. Clayton and the Spanish Minister. The President bas directed rigorous proceedings against all persons known to have incited the Cuban expe ditiqn. The government steamer Sammie has arrived with llevannah dates of Gth inst. Her commander re c,ived assurances from the Spanish authorities that the prisoners should be bononiab'r dealt with until advice. ehoald be received from Washington. Pri soners of the late expedition have been well treated : no truth in the s.atement of five being shot. Cotton market firm; flour market steady; Indian corn plenty and dull; no change of importance in storks. Tre news received by the ordinary mail will be found in the letter of oar New York correspondent, which we subjoin: NEW YORK, itiN6 li. On Sunday afternoon our city was much excit , d by the news of the arrival of the Atlantic aid Her man, the former making a short passage of eleven days, the other a longer one of twenty, but coming home with only one engine. The news from abroad appears to us to be of more than usual interest, and the ix licy of Lord Palmerston, that of calling nations to account for the settlement of the private claims of English trader', appears to be drawing upon itself the resentment, to say the least, of all debtor countries. Here we would mist such an attempt to the " bat's end;" for foreigners having any claims against our citiz-na have at all times as much aid from oar laws as those who are "native and to the I manner born." When a foreigner comes here to /take investments, or to mike money, he comes wi.h no other shield than the lex loci enetrartqa. He takes his I chance with those with whon he deals, ti nits to the institutions which protect all alike, and must bear the consequences that happen to all. The idea that he has a right to fall back upon his govern men t f or 1 the enforcement of his private claim., beyond the re -1 medies which theeelected scene of his operations affords him, is so absurd, end is pregnant with so much evil, as to be intolerable. And yet, notwithstanding this, and in spite of the hostility of the Trmes—notwith- I standing its iterated and never.oeasing assaults upon Lord Palmerston—we by no means entertain a small opinion of that statesman. In two thing., at least, he has gained our esteem, and these aro connected with navigation and cheap postage. However we may have disliked certain menaces, to the carrying out of which we should have been quite unanimous in offerirg a sturdy opposition, we feel that he has exer cised the qualities of a sagacious minister in employ ing his influence to create new ties between England and the United States. We do not forget, either, that he belongs to a family of diplomatic renown ; nor that one of its members was once an official resident in the United States : nor that he was secretary of war, and proved himself a man of ability during one period of consequence to the fame and the military success of his country. Should the European powers, under the fear that the blockade of the Pirates is to be extended one of these days to themselves, engage in a crusade against your country, it seems to us that we cannot well be mere spectators of these difficul ties. Our trade -,pith England would be its chief reliance, if the European ports were closed to your manufacturel. Any serious attempt to restrain our existing intercourse would at once compel us to main tain our rights ae neutrals, and it would be very pos. sill, that your fleets and ours would be combined to make common cause. How important it is that the two countries, of one blood, and language, and reli gion, should at least towards each other cultivate the closest and friendliest ponce:ions. Human liberty has no other hope but in this good understanding, and no email difficulties should be allowed to impair it. Besides all this, tt..e movement in France to cur tail the elective franchise is considered here as one likely to be followed np by more disastrous ones, and if the Napoleons or the liourbone can strengthen themselves, or change the form of government as now existing, by hostilities with England, we think they will be quite likely to have recourse to them. tro doubt the extreme monarchists in your country would be glad to have an opportunity of sustaining their own principles by the downfal of republicanism in France; but it would be a most expensive vindica tion of monarchy, and each as your national debt has illustrated in times past, much to the dissatisfaction of your taxpayers. - We trust, however, that the peace of Europe may be preserved for the eake of humanity, and that all the apprehensions which are excited by the arrival of the Atlantic may be speedily allayed. On the same day of her return to this port, we were muoh startled by rumours in relation to Cuba.

Denali has acted for the bee, i t was, however, also rumoured that our conhul, Campbell, had been imprisoned, and also ti.e fornia passengers on board the Ohio. Yesterday these rumours were in part contredi eltt and it is impossible at this mome.t to say which ar e true. Several telegraphic despatches were attired is the course of the day, and t is very certain cab, * meetings were held on Sunday. The start' that the American Consul was imprisoned was d The statement of the capture of the brig itvls, k ee d from this port to Chaves, with CEL!:rOetil pee.t.p ri on board, is believed. The Serer ac is exp.c.l , 4 , au e y , at Norfolk fur fresh orders, and in the intact.. ee public esteem the probability of a rupture situ Spain very great. From Waehing'on we have nothirg very impor. tent. The last opi .ion teems to be that M. tsi'l bill will pass the senate, and Gereral Taal pica find favour with a majaity of the hoes;'. It so there will be committees to c mfer, for the porp o . e ef ad. justment.
