LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 19. TO OIIR READERS. SPORTING INTILLIOENCE. A late edition of the Express is published every evening during the racing season, containing the results of the day's races. PRISIOSNT Lx.wcour's Message sets at rest, with the aimplicityof =unchangeable resolve, many idle rumours of a compromise between the so-called State rights of a rebellious minority, and the fun damental principles of national union and national sovereignty which WASHINGTON bequeathed to the people of the United States se " sacredly obli " gatory• on all," as " the main pillar in the " eddies of real independence," as the support of tranquillity at home, of peace abroad, of safety, of prosperity, of liberty itself. Is that goodly fabric of self-ruling freedom to remain one nation, or to be split op into as many mutually destructive tyrannies as the terrorism of rapacious minorities may establish by virtue of a pretended right of secession 1 Mr. Locout shows that the malig nant fallacy of the rebel leaders means nothing more or less than the complete destruction of the National Union. This was in fact the very fal lacy &Oast which Wasetworcce prophetically warned his fellow-citiaine in hie farewell message. And if the National Union of thirty-four, instead of thirteen States, is now mailed by a fatal combi nation of internal enemies, so much the more heinons is the sophism. The Message of the Pow or..Nr plainly treats the war, which a league of parricides has provoked, as a struggle for national existence. If the national Government was unable to strike the first blow, it is now in a position to secure by energetic action the sympathy of foreign powers with an inflexible purpose to maintain the Union undiminished and unimpaired. To make the con test short and decisive, the PRESIDENT asks for legal means to take advantage of the irrepressible pa triotism of the people, and to turn to the best account those lavish offerings of blood and treasure which almost perplex the discretion of the Execu tive. How faithfully Mr. Li:mous treads in the footsteps of the Founder of the Republic his argu ment against the pretended sovereignty of the several States bean witness. It is the corollary of the emphatic and large declarations of Wass =wrest himself. " The very idea," said WASE nrorox, "of the power and the right of " the people to establish government preenp " poses the duty of every individual to obey "the established government." Nothing lass than "an explicit and authentic act " of the whole people could change " the constitution which "at any time exists." " The States," says Mr. Lisrcous, "have their status in the Union, and " they have ❑o other legal status." " The Union " pre each of them whatever independence and " liberty it has." The plea of State-sovereignty, that is, of disruption of the Union, is sheer re bellion. If it be a principle, it is the principle of disintegration, "upon which no government can " possibly endure ;' if it be a right, it is the right of a minority to repudiate its obligations, and of every State in turn to secede from all the rest. It is the negation not only of all national law, honour, sad duty, but of all national life. It seems impossible that this plain unvarnished speech of the Republican PRESIDENT should net sink deep into the hearts and consciences of a people possessed of any moral sense, of any reve rence for the memory of the great founder of their liberties, of any hopes or interests beyond the pinions or the appetites of the hour. And Pre sident Lievuor bean proud and solemn witness t►at in troth " the plain people" know well that " this is essentially a people's contest." The Se cessional oligarchy deliberately " press out of " view the rights of men and the authority of the " people." Their elections are held in military camps, their state papers are eloquent on the rights of minorities. On the side of the l'inon the struggle is felt to be one for " maintaining " a form and substance of government" under which the condition of the whole people has been elevated and improved beyond example in the world. And this is how the largest army of volunteers ever known, and comprising regiments of which every common soldier is a man of high culture and attainments, has rushed to the standards of the Union. If some officers in the land and sea services have deserted their colours, they were the creatures of favour or of fortune ; of the common soldiers and sailors not one has failed for a moment in loyalty, even in the face of treacherous commanders. With such support as this President LINCOLN is prepared to prove that " those who can fairly carry an election can " also suppress a rebellion." There is not a free people, or a people aspiring to freedom throughout the world—much less is there a people with Anglo-Saxon blood in its veins—that is not concerned in the momentous crisis, which the PRTAIDENT of the United States describes, in the simplest words, as " a great lesson of peace, " teaching men that what they cannot take by an " election, neither can they take by a war." No lesson, it should be remembered in England,can be more conservative, in the best and only true sense, than this. The American civil war, then, is a question of extending the area of Slavery, of reviving the Slave Trade ; but it is more than all this for the New World, and for the Old ; it is a question, indeed, of "peace, safety, and prosperity," nay, of national existence, to that American Union which the genius and goodness of a WASHINGTON created for an example. But for all free peoples it is a question of upholding the eternal principles of liberty, morality, and justice. War for such a cause, though it be civil war, may perhaps without impiety be caned God's most perfect instrument In working out • pure intent. Tea spirit of determination to put down the Southern Rebellion which breathes through the Passioures Message, and the grand advance of the Federal Army across the Potomac, are closely connected. The Government at Washington mast have been long aware that not only in America, but in Europe, there were many who doubted their sincerity to carry on a civil war, and predicted a speedy compromise. It was sound policy, there fore, to demonstrate by some cogent proof that the Republicans were really in earnest ; and no more cogent proof could have been given than the Message which has just been published, and the movements of General Scow. It is, indeed, assumed by many that the task which that officer has undertaken is impossible. It is confidently asked how any rational man can suppose that the enormous territory of the Southern States, with their vast population, can be con quered and permanently occupied f If this were a true statement of the problem, its solution might be hopeless. But if Mr. LINCOLN and his Cabinet are correct in their opinions, there is nothing absurd in the ides that they can be carried into effect. According to the theory of the North, the moderate men of the South—the majority of whom consist of the rich planters— have been overpowered. The real aim of the Se easionista is not to vindicate any great principle, but to create a new confederacy, in which those Southern politicians who need to sit in high places may still retain their power. The cause of secession is not that any con• stitutional right has been violated, but that the Southern oligarchy has been for ever over thrown. The gross treachery of the members of Mr. BucaLtrAx's cabinet has for the time enabled this dinatisfied oligarchy to organise • formidable rebellion ; but it is the conviction of the North that if the real opinions of the South could be appertained the majority of the South would de clare against Secession and in favour of the Union. If, therefore, Mr. LINCOLN and his cabinet are *on reet in their views, it is obvious that the success of the war depends not upon conquering or occupying the Southern States, but upon re moving the incubus which overawes the citi zens of these States by an imposing display of military power. It may be that the anticipations of the North are mistaken ; but in the meantime it must be admitted that the measures which have been taken by the Govern ment at Washington are well adapted for the pur pose of defeating the Southern army in the field, and enabling the Union party in the South to assert their power. If the Union is to be restored, it can only be by force of arms ; and to that end the two essentials are an experienced commander at the head of a numerous and well-appointed army. Although the treasonable conduct of so many Southern officers of the United States army might have served as sonic apology for the Was Sseseraae if he had distrusted any officers from the South, still it is to the credit of Mr. LzirooLe's administra tion that they should have retained General Soon, a Virginian, at the head of the Federal army. To those who have ever seen that noble and gallant old man, it can be no matter of surprise that he should exercise a remarkable infinence over both officers and men ; and those who have watched his military career, and ob served his capacities as a scientific soldier, can have no difficulty in understanding why Mr. Ltecot.ar and his Cabinet should place unbounded confidence in his military judgment, and should allow him to conduct the war in whatever way he thinks best. It is well known that in the Mexican campaign his sagacity enabled him to draw up a plan at Washington which was carried into effect almost to the very letter ; and it will be no small triumph if in the present campaign he is able to repeat so splendid an achievement. Nor is the American Government disposed to stint him in means. According to the latest accounts there Is to be an army of 400,000 men. Of these there are already 210,000 in the field, who are all engaged to serve for three years, and it is anti cipated that there will be no difficulty in pro curing the 190,000 that are still wanting. At present, the interest of the campaign centres in Virginia, and it may be interesting to point out the plan which is being carried into effect. For the present purpose we may look upon the United States es a vast parallelogram, bounded on the north by Canada, on the south by the Gulf of Mexico, on the east by the Atlantic, and on the west by the Mississippi. This parallelogram is divided between the north and the south by the river Ohio, which runs westward into the Missis sippi, and by the Potomac, which runs eastward into the Chesapeake. The country north of these rivers is in the hands of the Federal Government ; the country south in those of the rebels. At first, indeed, it was thought that Washington, which lies at the mouth of the Potomac, was in danger of being attacked and sacked by the Southern rebels, but that danger has long since been dispelled. The vigour and patriotism of the North not only supplied a number of troops mill cient to protect the capital, but now they find themselves strong enough to assume the initiative. And as has already been observed, the fact is sig nificant, that the campaign should have opened at the very moment when the PRZOIDWIT was de daring his determination to put down the rebel lion, and was calling upon the men of the North to make considerable sacrifices. Until the beginning of this month the Rebels occupied the whole country between the Potomac and James River—the whole of Eastern Virginia, in fact ; and if their forces had been sufficient, there is no reason why they should not have held them still. For it must be observed that there has been ample time to organise and equip their troops, and ample time to concentrate them. Until the 2nd of July, between the Rebels and the Federal troops there lay the Poto mac on the north, and the Allegheny Mountains on the west. General JOHNSTON, with 12,000 men, occupied Harper's Ferry, which had been abandoned by the Northern officer ; and some distance north lay General PATZESON, With some 26,000 men ; further east, to pro tect Washington, was General Macoowzu., with a corps of 40,000, whilst General M'CLELLAN, who has the reputation of being a skilful officer, was advancing with more than 20,000 from the Western States of Indiana and Ohio. But this officer would have to pass the Allegheny Moun tains before he could be upon the flank of the Southern troops. If indeed General JOHNSTON had found himself strong enough he would cer tainly have attacked and defeated General PA ' nisoN in his passage across the Potomac, but having found that impossible, the probability is that the Southern generals intend to concentrate all their disposable forces at Richmond, which I lies directly south of Washington on the James river, and there deliver a great battle. It any be that before falling back to the capital of Virginia, some engagement may take place, but that Richmond will not be surrendered without a determined struggle is absolutely certain. The moral effect of losing that town would be most disastrous to the Southern cause. It is the chief city in that State, whose traditions are the most ancient and dignified of any in the Union. If the army of the new Confederacy is defeated in • great pitched battle there, and obliged to evacuate "the Old Dominion," it is difficult to believe that any further resistance in the open field will be possible. Assuming for the moment, as we are entitled to mime, that the Southern States are determined to resist the North, the state and capital of Virginia are just as much the basis of operations as any other place in the South; and if the Northern army succeeds in taking Richmond there seems no reason why they should not equally succeed in taking Charleston, Savannah, and every other city on the seaboard. In the meantime it is probable that the rebel generals will retire southward towards Richmond. As General Stxrrr will find it necessary to advance in three columns, the duty of his opponent will obviously be to endeavour to overpower one of these columns before the other two can come to his aid. But as the Southern general will scarcely succeed in doing so without the imminent chance of defeat from so cautious an officer as the Ameri can Commander-in-Chief, the probability is that he will content himself by retiring southward to a prepared field of battle under the walls of Rich mond. What the number of the two opposing hosts may be when they arrive there it is impos sible to conjecture. But the number of the Northern army cannot be leas than 80,000 or 90,000 men. Erfax.ann will be a great and free country as long as meritorious Englishmen prefer honours awarded by their fellow-citizens to the highest distinctions the Government can bestow. Sir Bons: Pznz felt this, though doubtless con scious of purposes that looked beyond human praise, when he enjoined his children to preserve their place among the Commons of England. It was, we may be sure, in no cynical and un gracious spirit that Mr. COWIN lately declined the titles with which his Sovereign was ready to acknowledge his services in France. But there ate labours which can only receive their fitting crown from public opinion, and such were those which the great Missionary of Free-trade had been performing at Paris. Mr. CO.DSN, having been the object, as was truly said by the Loan Maros, of manifestations of approval from the whole kingdom, received on Wednesday at the Mansion house an honour which the City of I London only bestows on those who have deserved well of their country. Such spontaneous tribute to worth, not prompted by interest, ministering to no convenience, which no power can compel, no money buy, it is the privilege of our great independent corporations to pay ; and it will be an ill day for England when those bodies fall from the height of their prerogative. Mr. Comes disclaims a monopoly of praise for his efforts to frame and complete the Treaty with France. Ile desires rather that it may be regarded as the natural outgrowth of the im proved knowledge of the age. There is wisdom as well as modesty in this representation. Bad the French Treaty been the invention of an indi vidual, an experiment in an unknown field, them would have been some reason in the outcry raised here while the negotiations were in progress, and which, as we now know, were at one time near proving fatal to their success. The Treaty simply secured the application of principles which had long been acknowledged as those which ought to prevail in our commercial legislation. This is the condemnation of those who so strenuously opposed its progress. It was no trick of cunning, it was attended with no uncertainty. According to pro positions and doctrines which had been universally admitted, it was a great and fruitful reform. And if there be any untamed enthusiasts who have per themselves that, owing to the " progress of "the age," or from any other cause, we have reached • point at which beneficial change has only to pre sent itself and prove its title in order to be admitted in its own right, we beg them to look back on the opposition offered to the Treaty in the press and Parliament, and learn from its history what re serves of power are at the service of mean jealousies, vulgar hatred, and all the quickened instincts of evil, to binder the undoubted advan tage of the public. It is the peculiar honour of Mr. COBbilf that he battled vigorously against this eonshination of malignant influences, and tri umphantly overcame. The moral operation of this Treaty, as tending to obviate the chances of war between the two coun tries was presented in Mr. Cosocres speech in a light fitted to correct prejudices which have been care fully cultivated. Twelve months ago nothing was more common than the assertion that the Treatywas worthless, because it would not prevent war, and the counter-assertion that it was mischievous and degrading, because it would pledge us to ignoble sacrifices for peace. It must needs be either a coarse sacrifice or a coarser bribe. Those who demand and those who deprecate absolute securities against war must alike be told that extended interchange of commodities, and the increased mutual advan tage it brings, do not impair national self-respect, or deaden whatever is worthy in national feeling. It is not by blinding men's eyes to rivalries born of inter-national situations, nor by corrupting their minds until every insult is tamely endured, that oommerce promotes peace. It acts more power fully than by an immediate appeal to interests. Lapsed as is our oommon nature from its original height, there is yet in man a loftiness of spirit which, when a principle is at stake, scorns to be swayed by considerations of profit and loss, but rather exults in sacrifice. The intercourse resulting from the going to and fro of the people of dil -1 ferent nations works more generously for peace. It destroys distrust by dispelling the darkness in which it breeds ; it preoccupies the mind against vague and groundless fears ; it qualifies each people to understand the acts and do justice to the motives of the other. What Mr. COBDEN says of the wall of separation existing between the two countries will be confirmed by those who have studied the French not merely in the select society of Paris, but also in the various classes of the towns and villages of France. " Nothing has " struck me more during my intercourse of eight " een months with the French people than the " perfect ignorance which the people of England " and France generally have of each other. The " English and Chinese really seem to be almost "as well acquainted with each other as English " men and Frenchmen. I speak, of course, of " the masses of the people in both countries ; and " I look forward, therefore, with the greatest " satisfaction to the change we are now about to " witness, when Englishmen and Frenchmen will " necessanly be led in the pursuits of business to " mingle with each other, and every man "to know each other better." It is of estrangement such as this, and its at tendant ignorance and misconception, that wars, and panics only less costly than wars, are born. The French Treaty will do much, we expect, to make Englishmen and Frenchmen better ac quainted, and enable them to understand both the community and the divergencies of their interests. We are sure that such knowledge is most favour able to peace and tranquillity. At the same time its operation is moral, and by opposing moral causes may be counteracted. Now, as of old, the way to preserve peace is to value peace, and to do to others as we would they should do unto us. epe Court. OSBORNE, Juts 18.

DO CHAILLtT AND THU MINIM Milaggrag Acting upon the rezonunendation of Professor Owen, the trustees of the British Museum have purchased the principal objects in M. do Chailiu's collection of mammals for 5001. ; a very good sum, it must be admitted, to pay for what haa been called a "hap of rubbish," and which has been said to he destitute of any novelty. The sum, however, assumes more moderate proportions when we recollect that the same trustees, on the recommendation of the chief of the zoological depart. mint, acquired the young gorilla and the adult skele ton now in the Museum for nearly 201. The selected specimens include the " King of the Gorillas "—the large specimen stuffed by Mr. Wilson, which has lately been exhi bited at the rooms of the Geographical Society ; the younger specimen, called " Joe" in M. du Chaillu's lecture, and another skin ; also the skin of the " Bald-beaded Ape," the new Antelope and the African Manatee, with their skeletons, and the skins of some smaller animals. The valuation . of these specimens (which is really very moderate) was made by Mr. S. Stevens, whose opinion in such matters isjustiv held in high respect by the officers of the British Museum. The skull of the Manatee is very curious, and, in the opiates of Prafeesor Owen, more resembles the fossil Halitherium (of Malta and Darmstadt) than any other living animal. The of fd . du Chaillu's collection of birds is, we mr.h..rstill under the consideration of the trustees. For the present, we may safely congratulate the Museum on the acquisition of such a valuable accession to the attractions of its zoological department as the "King of the Gorillas" and his companions. No doubt his Majesty' s levees will be exceedingly thronged. Dr. Gray is also to congratulated upon the opportunities which he will now have for a free and uninterrupted exploration of the apertures in the skin of the gorilla, and for doming therefrom all possible con elusions to the disparagement of M. du Chailln's veracity.— Critic.

The Russian General Ouchakov, on passing a review of the regiments of Volhynia, addressed, according to the Czas of Cracow, the following war like speech to the officers : Gentlemen,—A campaign is near at hand. But though I do not know for the present when and where you will be summoned, it is not the lees my duty to warn you, in order that you may be ready at the first call. Do not cute your time in idle dreams: do the will of the Sovereign with submission, for that is the duty and honour of the soldier. Subversive and revolutionary ideas shave penetrated among us from foreign countries; ; they led away the young men of Warsaw, who, however, received well-merited chastisement, and they are now ex citing even the populations of the empire, and will render necessary measures of extreme vigour. I repeat to you, gentlemen, the formal interdiction to read the Kulata (the Bell). It is a journal hostile to the government, and sup ports principles of disorder and anarchy. The government is determined that °dicers shall not read that journal. What lately occurred at Kiew proves that to you ; in that town the police and gendarmes arrested all the officers who read that journal in the cafes, and they have been sent to • fortress to await the decision of justice. SPAIN. The Madrid Gazette of the 14th contains an account of the reception by the Queen of Sir J. Crampton, the new English minister at her court, to present his credentials. The ceremony took place with the customary formalities, and Sir John, who was accompanied by Mr. Ed wardee, secretary of legation, Mr. Lawrence, and Mr. Brackenbury, attach6s, de livered, as usual on such occasions, an address in which he said that the Queen, his sovereign, had charged him to renew the expression of her unaltera ble esteem and consideration for her Majesty end the King, and her wishes for the prosperity of the Spanish nation ; he said also that the British government and people entertained great sympathy for Spain, and he promised to employ all his efforts to pro mote a good understanding between the two coun tries.

The sentence on Blanqui and his fellow-prisoners has been confirmed by the Court of Appeal. The bulepeedanee says that the Emperor thinks of raising the pay of the senators from 30,000 fr. to 50,000 fr. I don't see why not. It has been sufli- Meetly proved that the public in France will stand anything. The Duke of Rovigo has published a letter to K Billault on his speech iu the Senate on the petition of the redemptorist fathers of Lille. The object of the son of Savary seems to be to show that be tween M. Billault and Cardinal Mathieu there was no difference in principle, and that the " misunder standing" between church and state in France might be easily made up on the basis of the repression of both ultramontanism and Mazzinism. By way of illustration of the accommodating spirit of the church, he observes that it got on very well with the monarchy, the consulate, the first empire, the restoration, the second republic (whose trees of liberty it blessed) ; and that it hailed with trans port the prince " whose arms rescued Rome from barbarians, and restored the Holy Father to the Vatican." The treaty of Villafranca left intact " this happy state of things," but, unfortunately, Italy, to whom France " owes nothing," spoilt all. It seems to the Duke of Rovigo the easiest thing in the world for France to set the Papal question at rest, by making " a categorical declaration which should deprive Mazzinism of all hope, and ultramontatiism of any pretext ; which should proclaim aloud that Rome does not belong to this or that faction, king let or adventurer, but to the Pope and the catholic world—then General de Goyon would have no need of an army to protect the eternal city ; a corporal's guard would Guam" The best thing in the pamphlet is the following passage, which betrays the misgivings of a champion of the church as to the sincerity of the allegiance of its eldest son : " Perhaps it will be said that the state has pro nouneed with sufficient plainness in favour of the Holy See, and that people affect not to understand lite declarations ; but what interest can the dumb have'not to understand re-assuring language 1 The state should pay attention to its composition. (C'ut d Mat d aosgner as radaction.)" The Empress, immediately on being informed of the death of Prince Czartoryaki, sent a telegraphic message to Prince Ladislaus Czartoryski, testify. lug her regret at the misfortune which had fallen on him and his family, and begging him to offer her condolences to his mother the Princess Czartoryaka.
