HIGH WATIR AT LONDON RIDGE. raissia—Wondos. lb. I. -46AINIGIA AMMONS. lb. Mi. LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY & THE question which the Americans of the North and South have taken up arms to decide is one as to the area of territory over which their respective principles of government shall extend. And those principles are as contrary as light and darkness. The quibble which takes advan tage of the word "democracy" to represent the governments of the Free and Slave Stake as having a common character is, by whomsoever made, nakedly and flagrantly dishonest, as dishonest as when a low New York journal, to please its rowdy readers, under the name of Monarchy con founds the generous rule of an English QUIRN with the savage tyranny established at Warsaw. " Democracy"—to adopt the un-English word with which the advocates of aristocracy seek to. alum quiet people—democracy, or the principle of the government of the whole by the whole, having long sustained a disadvantageous war with the principle of oligarchy, is compelled to take arms against, if it would not be vanquished by, its most deadly enemy. All that is moat virulent and repugnant in the vices of aristocratic governments is seised on and made the corner-stone of Southern policy. It was so before the disruption, and it is so now. The best men both of the North and South have always seen and acknowledged this radical antagonism. Last summer Mr. Sitorsan, in a memorable speech delivered at Dubuque, said "The controversy is between two classes " of white men—one having negroes, an aristo " =tic class, that wants to extend itself over the " new territories, and the other the people, who " have no negroes and won't have any, and who " mean that the aristocratic section shall not be ex " tended. It is an eternal question between classes, " the eternal question between the few privileged " and the many unprivileged, between aristocracy " and democracy, and the nation that is willing to " submit to 1111011 an aristocracy, the riding of the " privileged, booted and spurred over the un " privileged, deserves no better fate than that " which befall the cowardly and the unworthy. "livery man arriving hero from Austria, Hun. " gary, and Naples Slids in another form the irre " presaible conflicts which crushed him out an " exile from his native land." This is the light in which the Statesman who now holds the chief place in President Lulcoix's Cabinet saw the issue last year. Nor let it be said that his words stand for no more than the fanaticism of a party leader or the venialextravagance of an election speech. The great founders and consolidators of the Republic have borne the mast weighty and emphatic testi mony against the political dangers to be appre hended from the institution of Slavery, limited es it was in their day. WASHINGTON'S judgment on Slavery is well known. Jima/sox wrote re specting it : " Can the liberties of • nation be " thought secure when we have removed their " only firm basis—a conviction in the mind of the " people that their liberties are the gift of GOD t " I tremble for my country when I reflect that " GOD is just j and that, considering natural " causes only, a revolution of the wheel of fortune "is among possible events." MADISON, after writing that no other form of government than the Republican would be reconcilable with the genius of the American people, said : " Where slavery exists " the Republican theory becomes fallacious." Mow aoa, in the Virginian Convention, said : " This " evil preys upon the very vitals of the Union." The were Southern men, and we adduce their wards, as we might do those of Persica limy and CLAY to the same effect, not to show that in their several and individual opinions slavery is wrong, but that they saw its permanent and fatal antagonism to the vital principles of the American Union. The modern CADISS, mat call the usages of constitutional monarchy to his aid, the Holy Roman Empire may set up its popular parliaments, but you cannot have republics without republicans. The southern states of America, with their chivalrous contempt for labour and the arts of peace, with religion, morals, and manners all fashioned to their wants as lords of thelifellow men, are no longer capable of doing the duties of citizens of a free republic. These proud chevalier. are formed by their entire education to command. They can fight, they can govern, sometimes much better than people whose thoughts have been much occupied with honest industry ; but they cannot and will not submit to the find condition of a free popular Government, they are above being bound by the villa the majority. While they could have their way unchecked at Washington they were willing to remain under the same Government with their fellow countrymen in the North, but not longer. If the 19 millions of in dustrious people in the North, East, and West could have been persuaded that their public affairs would be better managed in the hands of gentlemen of leisure and luxury than retained in their own, they might have still had the patronage and aid of the Southern aristocracy. But it was otherwise, and the division, from the prospect of which the founders of the Republic turned away their eyes with dread, has beame a reality. The two sections of the American people are about to fight to determine over what extent of territory their respective principles shall prevail. Upon the issue of this conflict will depend the character of millions yet unborn. The future development of social and national life in the New World will be infinitely better or worse as territory is abandoned to the curse of slavery or secured for freedom. If there is any honest way of settling this controversy without fighting, then war will be a grime. That is a question on which we WEDNESDAY EVENING, shall hope to have something to say. But mean while we have shown demonstratively that the canoe of quarrel is one of the highest that can engage men's feelings ; and we leave it to the common sense of the public to judge whether any form of goverrnent, however great its oentripetal force, could honourably and beneficially prevent the political separation of parts of a State between which there exists an hostility of principles and sentiments as great as that between the Slave and Free States of America. REVIEW OF METROPOLITAN VOLUN- TEERB BY THE COIIMANDEB•IN•CHIEF. We understand that his Royal Highness the General Commanding-in-Chief has consented, at the request of the Secretary of State for War, to hold a review on Wimbledon-common, during the mouth of July, of such metropolitan volunteer corps as may wish to be present. The ordinary arrangements will be observed with regard to applications from corps desirous of at tending on the occasion ; but we believe that sanc tion will not be given for the attendance of any corps which is not previously reported to be suffi ciently advanced in battalion drill to take part in the review. MAY LATEST INTELLIGENCE. 4, THE ALLEGED DISTURBANCES IN THE lONIAN ISLANDS. The Augsburg Gazette contains the followiag com munication from Zante, dated April 24 : On the evening of Sunday, the 21st, a conflict took place between the inhabitants of the city and the English prriaon, the total number of persons who received wounds being 20. At about 7 o'clock in the evening the soldiers got into some quarrels in the market-place, and made forcible entry into the shops, striking the inhabitants with the bayonet. At the Grand Church, to which they pursued the crowd, they were repulsed. They returned with reinforcements, and the inhabitants, having also increased in number to upwards of • thousand, met them, and stones and pieces of broken glue were thrown from tho windows. The people armed themselves with sticks, hatchets, and poles. The police, who at tempted to protect the inhabitants, were ill4reated by the English, and one of them was mortally wounded. New de tachments, stronger than the first, arrived, and these having pointed their bayonets at the crowd, the latter for the time dispersed ; but they returned in such numbers that the troops were several times obliged to form • square to avoid being crushed. At last the market-place was militarily oc cupied, the communications between the streets were inter cepted, and the director of the police succeeded in calming the masses and inducing them to disperse. The agitation has continued since these events, and strong mixed patrols have paraded the city every evening. TER OCCUPATION OP SYRIA. Lord Stratford de Radcliffe will move in the House of Lords, on Friday next, to resolve— "l. That the house would view with deep regret any cir cumetatioe leading to a continuance, however brief, el the occupation of Syria by foreign Weeps beyond the sth of June next ensuing, the period now fixed far their complete withdrawal by the convention speed to at Paris on the 15th of March. "2. That the house considers the late calamitous events in Syria as not to be attributed to canoes exclusively local, but also, and chiefly, to the general data of the Turkiah empire, more especially to point of revenue and adminis tration. "3. That the house is deeply hummed with the urgency of obtaining from the Ottoman Porte • prompt adoption and strict enforcement of such measures u may bast afford, in the spirit of the Sultan's hatt-homayoon of 1856, a reli- able security against the recurrence, from any cure what ever, of those sanguinary conflicts." trbt Court.

RUSSIA AND FINLAND. The populations of Finland, who have so long demanded reforms of the Russian government, appear at length to be in a fair way of obtain ing some, at least, of their requirements. A mani festo of the Emperor Alexander, dated the 10th of April, invokes an assembly of delegates of the four orders of the province, in order to deliberate upon "several legislative measures indispensable to the material and moral progress of the country." In the preamble the imperial manifesto states that in the ordinary way these measures will be sub mitted to the states of the Grand Duchy, but that "other political interests of a high order" do not permit the convocation of the states at this moment. The meeting, however, of the delegates—this species of consultative chamber—is not to take place before the 31st of January, 1862. The bourgeoisie, the peasants, and the clergy, will each be represented by 12 members, while the nobility will have but four delegates, and the votes will be irrespective of rank. PRUSSIA AND ENGLAND. THE MACDONALD AFFAIR. The following is a translation of the note which has been addressed by Baron Schleinits, through Count Bernstorf4 to Lord John Russell, relating to the recent Macdonald discussion in the House Of COMMODE : I have observed from the public journals, with as much surprise as deep regret, the manner in which Lord Palmer ston replied to the questions addreseed to him in the House of Commons on the 26th of last month on the 'abject of Captain Macdonald. We could not expect that he would take in this matter the rme view as the Prussian govern ment, but we might have taken it for granted that the first minister of England, fully cognisant of the circumstances stated by us, would abstain from heaping groundless re proaches (Vorwittle) on the government and laws of Prus sia. He himself could not do otherwise than acknowledge that the conduct of the Prussian officials had been in aooordance with the Prussian laws. And, in truth, the Prussian court placed upon the affair of Captain Macdonald the mildest interpretation al lowed by law, and merely inflicted upon him a slight pecuniary fine. Those whose signatures were affixed to the offensive protest have been, it is true, condemned by the judge, but they have escaped punishment, because the royal amnesty of the 12th of January of this year his affected them. Finally, the Prussian government, which did everything in its power to shorten the time of Captain Macdonald's con finement, has expressed without reserve to the British go vernment its regret for the occurrence itself. How, in so clear a use, the Prussian government can be reproached with having neglected to do what wu incumbent on it an a great power, and u a government in friendly relations with England, even Lord Palmerston's speech has not suc ceeded in showing. ' When this distinguished statesman makes mention of me In terms for which I cannot but be personally grateful to hltn—when he makes appeal to my knowledge of the mods of thought and habits of the English people—l cannot before all things repress the observation that during the several years of residence in England which my official position afforded me nothing filled me with greater admiration than the sense of right and law which is everywhere firmly rooted in the English people, and which is also manifested in respect for judicial seu tenor. I cannot suppose that the English people will deny this respect to the enterer of Prussian judges, in • case where, in the person of an Englishman, • violation of the laws of the country in which he has been residing had to be punished, and where the legal advisers of the English crown themselves acknowledge that the proceedings have been in madame with the laws el the land. In carrying oat the laws of one country, the judicial con demnation of the subjecte of another appears to me not to be a circumstance which could disturb the mutual relation of two governments, a close friendly union between which is in the Interest of both. I cannot, however, conceal from my. self that accusations of such a kind as those which Lord Pal merston, without ground or justification, has raisedegainat the government and the laws of Prussia are well calculated to excite in the Prussian people as ill feeling against a govern ment the leader of which has no hesitation in designating the condition of Prussia es lamentable. If such an ill feeling should result in an alienation of the governments of Prussia and England—which I should deplore in the highest degree—the Prussian government would at least bear no blame in the disturbance of the good understanding with England which it has always honestly laboured to foster and promote. I beg your excellency to read the present despatch to Lord John Russell, and to deliver Whim a copy of it. (Signed) ecauumn. Berlin, May 1, 1861. To his Excellency Count Bernstorff, ka., to:, Loudon.

ITALY. NAPLES. MAT 4 (, Narseilles)._ The rumours which were current here of the proclamation of a republic at Palermo have proved entirely false. They originated in an attempt At a Garibaidisa made in that city on the 29th ult. Thu members of the United Demo cratic Association succeeded, however, iu tranquil lising the people. General Grin has taken the command of the national guard at Palermo. _ _ The Archbishop of San Andrea and three large landed proprietors have been arrested. A letter, addreesod by the Director of Public Worship to the Archbishop of Naples, has been published, in which he reproaches the archbishop with having forbidden public prayers for King Victor Emmanuel, and warns him that if ha w aists in such a course he will be prosecuted accord ing to law.

I learn, on indubitable authority, that the effec tive force of the French army is at this moment greater by 75,000 men than it is represented to be by the budget. This fact has been discovered by the budget committee, and is clearly proved by official documents. It was intended, after the voting of the budget, quietly to provide for this extra force by the facile expedient of a supple mental credit, about which the representatives of the taxpayers would have known nothing till some future and long distant time, when the interest attaching to present events should have passed away, and new circumstances would have diverted criticism into new channels. As it is, the matter will be brought before the Chamber when the de bate on the budget comes on, and several members intend to avail themselves largely of their newly acquired privilege of plain speaking on the occasion. The long enduring prestige of H. Hausmann, prefect of the Seine, after being in these latter times rudely questioned by public criticisms, has been at length officially damaged by the Council of State, which has quaabed several of his decrees prohibiting proprietors from building upon ground which he had pitched upon for a new street , as "void for excess of power," the public utility of the new street not having been established. The Pays, in its " Damara@ Nouvelles," contra dicts the report that Russia has placed her army on a war footing, and adds that the concentration of a Russian force on the Pruth is greatly exagge rated. The fact is the Russian army at the present moment is almost a myth. One of the recent numbers of the Revue Contemporaine gives from authentic sources very interesting details showing conclusively that the great and much dreaded Russian army exists principally upon paper, and that the Czar has scarcely any forces available for foreign aggression. I have heard this said over and over again by Russian refugees in Paris. If we may credit a telegram from Rome, the obstinate young Bombe (Francis IL) has just contracted a loan of nine millions (of some coin not stated) with foreign bankers. This news, if true, will only furnish an addi tional reason to the many which the indepen dent journals are daily urging upon the French government for the speedy evacuation of Rome. The Emperor mast be blind if he does not see that his occupation of Rome is the corner-stone of anarchy in Italy, and the mainstay of his clerical enemies iu France. The Bourse was acted upon to-day by the news from Hungary, which is serious, not to say alarm ing. Speculators who bought yesterday on the strength of the rise at Vienna—which, by the way, still continues— are selling to-day. The Iterate fell 20c. for cash and 25c. for account, closing at 69fr. 30c. and 69fr. 25c. Mobilier fell 16fr. Railways were from sfr. to 10fr. lower. The Callum Mires fell from 90fr. to 82fr. 50e., which is the lowest quotation of these securities since M. Mirka' arrest. M. Doyen, sub-governor of the Bank of France, accompanied by a principal clerk, and M. Cou ainiery, the Smyrna banker, have left Paris this day for Constantinople, in order to make au ar rangement with the Greek houses involved in the late financial crisis. A high mass was celebrated this morning at St. Roch for the victims of Warsaw of April 8. The numerous congregation was attired is mourning. The telegraph reports that a great tire occurred last night at Limoges, and that the prefect, while courageously directing the operations of the firemen, was seriously injured by the falling of a beam. Woll-informed Americans are confident that on the arrival of the Great Eastern at New York the Northern Stake will offer to buy her. The agents of the compsay will probably feel themselves justified in making a pro visional sale upon adequate terms, which could subtle quietly be referred here for confirmation. This morning a return was made to parliament of correspondence respecting changes in the Italian tariffs in 1859 and 1860, and an extract of a despatch from Lord J. Ronal to Mr. Elliott, dated June 21, 1860. The latter 'striket is as follow.:—" With respect to the constitution of 1812, or any other political measure, her Majesty's go vernment do not wish to interfere. But you are instructed to remonstrate with M. Carafe in the strongest terms against any repetition at Naples of the bombardment of Palermo. AU Europe has been shocked by it. You will speak in like terms of Messina, in case the bombardment of that place is intended. You will inform M. Brenier, who has instructions similar to yours."

The great spring fair at Leipeic may be considered es termrnated.

For calico and printed articles the demand was dull. the Moldavian., Wal- Uchians, and Poles, who are generally large purchasers, not Suring presented themselves at the fair in any numbers. For the light silks of Sammy, sod Prussia also, the demand was dull, owing to the absence of Americans. The same was the use as regards jewellery, and Swiss watches and clocks.

AMERICA. PRIVATE LETTERS. The following are extracts from the letter of an American lady just received : New York, April 22. We have all been so much occupied with national affairs the past two weeks that every other subject almost is ex cluded. I cannot begin to give you any idea of the intense excitement that prevails here, but will only begin to sketch a little of it. Yon might almost imagine yourself in a foreign country if you could 1141 the groups of people msemblcd in the streets ; soldier; moving about, recruit' mustering at different stations, and the departure from the city of the regular troops for %eh inseam It is really a curious sight—and a wonderful sight for New York. The steamer, which left on Saturday last, has taken out the full accounts, probably, of the great union mass meeting which took place on Saturday. If oath* Persia of Wednesday evening will. Such another metes never has been witnessed in New York. I cannot pretend to describe it; suffice it that our poor country is in a most distracted and unhappy state, and now it seems impossible to tell where it will all end. We had a window in Fermi man's-buildings in Fourteenth-rarest on Saturday, and such a crowd never was seen in New York. Four large platforms were erected, and speeches made from each. On the gate way of the park people stood and harangued the mace. On the steps and from the windows of P's-buildings oleo, people spoke to the crowd, and as for the display of booting, flags, kc., it exceeded any description. Not a private house, or even church, store, or anything, but is covered with lags, and every creature —man, woman, and child— wears a rosette or tricoloured ribbon. Yeeterday (Sunday) wee no Sunday : people were too much excited to think of church. In some churches " The Star-spangled Banner* was sung. On Saturday evening I was at the Philharmonic Concert Academy of Music It was so crowded that there was scarcely a steadies place left. Some one called for " The Star-spangled Banner," and it was played by the orchestra, and sung by the whole house standing. After ward, immense cheering for fifteen minutes. The old lag-staff was placed in the hands of the statue of Washington, Unionsquare, on Saturday. The glorious 7th Regiment, or National Guard, the pride of New York, left here last Monday. It is composed of young men from the best families in the city ; and was truly a sad sight. E— is among them—his mother feels dreadfully. • • • There is no reliable communication between the north and south. Railroad bridges are torn down—telegraph south of Washington in the hands of the southerners, and above in the heeds of our government Of course you will read all the accounts of the evacuation of Fort Sumter by Major Anderson. I had a good look at him today on Broadway— he walking along quietly, but soon it was known that Major A. was on the pave, and such • shouting, cheering—end soon he was surrounded and unable to go on. Be is to have a tidal, a mock one, of course. All I hope is that the south will get such a whipping that they won't forget in one while. The folio • is an extract of a letter from a gentleman in n, to his brother in Glasgow, dated April 23 : My dear Brother —I have your lines of sth April, re. wired yesterday. Your remarks about the inefficiency of our government come at a time when the government le patting forth every energy to sustain itself, backed up by the united yoke of all the free states, with a rushing to arms with such promptinr and eslerityas astooishea every. one. The call of the President was segued on the 15th and ere six days had elapsed Massachusette had called r sad sent forward four regiment+, one of which was together sod sent forward four regiments, one of which wee m Washington within four days (a distance of 700 miles), but mot ell some bad fallen and their blood been abed in the streets of Baltimore by the mob. This was on the an. nivireary of the 19th April, 1775, when the fint blood of Massachusetts was shed in the war of the revolution. I seed you some papers which will give you the latest news. I lune never seen our people so united and determined. The free states are united shoulder to shoulder : every press, every pulpit are so. Money is poured out like water. Tines hu nd red millions of dollars have been offered to the government by New York and Boston alone. Our city is full of military passing south. Brother L.'s son George hie lieutenant of a fine volunteer company ; he C e be l es a cadet, is well drilled, and fully equal to the post. My son-in-law, Mr. 8., is going as lieutenant-colonel of Zoaaves this week ; he has studied and practised military tactics several years, end is very accomplished. The enthu• Bean is unbounded, the fading sod action united and intense all over the north. The following extract of a private mercantile letter from New York draws an instructive picture of the lamentable rage for war which has seized all classes of American society, and which has turned even the soberest heads : Although quotations ere given above and miss have been made, yet within the past three days matters have come to • stand still. We are compelled to give a gloomy account of the present and of prorpecth for the future. For the first time iu the history of this country, the capital (Wash. ington) is threatened by • large army of rebels. Telegraph and postal communication is wholly suspended with the South; all points south of Baltimore being is the hands of I the reboil. The government is straining every nerve to stem the tide of tradition, anarchy, and revolution. Oar city and State are full of armed men all pouring to the war. Fifty thousand men are expected to be in Washington within a week. New York has itself sent 7,000 men. On Sunday tables were placed on the side walk to sign the names of volunteers ma. Churches were unattended. The city and shipping are in a blaze with the stars and stripes. Ninety men out of • hundred have rosettes of red, white, and blue covering the hat, breast, or coat. Private houses are covered with Sags. Enthusiasm is at fever heat. Ten times the men that can be taken offer their services. Mir. chants, mechanics; darks, lawyers, labourers, clergymen, brokers, all are going or gone. Young men are giving their employees ten mteutee notice, and the employers are con. tinning pay and blew until their return. Gentlemen worth a million dollars are going as privates. All differences of position or opinion are ignored. Money is freely and lib'. rally supplied for the war. The pluck of the Anglo-Saxon North is roused. We are all agreed to put. down trams and rebellion and to support our government THE CONGREGATIONAL UNION OP ENGLAND AND WAlNa.—The annual assembly of this important body wee held yesterday morning at Falcon-square Chapel. Thalia% G. 8. Minll, the president of the Union for the current year, read an important paper upon the present especte of congregationalism in relation to other bodies. The Rev. G. Bmitb, the secretary of the Union, read the animal report, which, after some remarks by Dr. Vaughan, wee adopted. The Rev. 8. Martin was appointed chairman of the Union for the next year. The minutes and delegate* having dined together , Mr. S. Morley moved a resolution. urging the friends of the Union to use their influence with the liberal members of parliament to frustrate the designs of the advocates of church-rates, and to effect the imme ' dime abolition of au impost so unjust and so uoscriptural in its character. The resolution was seconded by the Rev. R. Ashton, and was unanimously agreed to. R•donti CHURCH AND CHAPEL UNION.—Lot evening the eighth annual meeting of the supporters of this union was held at Exeter-ball, the Earl of Shaftesbury in the chair.

After giving • short account of the labour and difficulties the institution bad to contend with, the report concluded with en earnest appeal to the friendsof the movement for extended support. The chairman rose and said, he for one, notwithstanding the despondiog tone of the report, did not feel discouraged. He looked on this union as the necessary sequel to the ragged school movement, and by perseverance on the art of its friends he had no doubt it would ultimately be as succemful. They had only to look at the greet improvement in the conduct of the poorest portion of the working close, am evinced by their behaviour at the religious services in the theatres, and at the open-air preach ing& Formerly, their behaviour would have been noisy sod blasphemous, now It was attentive and reverent. This was owing to the exertions of such mottles as this. Let them not, therefore, be discouraged. The uol,le lord coucludid by pledging himself to unite his exertions with the committee of the union to make those labours more succesaful. Tt• chairman having left the chair, his place wan filled by Mr. Joseph Payne. Th e a d o pti on o f the report was moved by the Rev. Mr. Baynes, incumbent of Whitechapel• and seconded by the Rev.
