LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5. Tait Ecelctiastical Commiasioa will not escape discus- Rion at leut in the press at session of parliament, however it may have done e° in tht It has had a long day. But time and its own m isdeeds are overtaking it at last. And amongst the motions standing fur to-night, these is, we see, one for the correction of its morals, or for what may b 3 called its "sours health," and for the needtul improvement of its machinery, to be made by Mr. IiORB3IAN. This motion the biabops have, it will be observed, induced ministers to intercept, if possible, by last evening introducieg a bill on the subject into the House of Lords. Bat as that bill ie, we can state, only a worse edition rif the measure that was played fast and loose with in the Com mune Dist session ; as its provisions do not even work out and use up the irsufficient recommendations of the Commons' committee of lte4B, Mr. HORSMAN is not, we trust, to be diverted from his higher task of reformation by so stale a trick as its Introduction. The history, policy, and conduct of the commission must be discussed. The charges against it mg be pleaded to; and the sense of par liament on its continuance must be taken. Ana, if Lord Jontit Itusahh, in his anxiety to cover and pro tect the kishops fron the consequences of their ob struction to legislation lot session, do disgust his political frients, and pillory his prelatical allies, why, the blame of the scandal be on himself, not on those whose sense of dwy and of right will ro longer tolerate such an abuse an the &ministries! Commis sion has proved itself to be. An entire re-composition and re-constitution of this commission, from which even Lord MIL LET retired because of its worthlessness, is, we submit to all church reformers, a condition precedent to any effective and useful improvement in the Cnarch of England. For, by meat . of its present constitution, the Episcopate of the church has obtained an amount of political power, and ccca pies, in the sight of the country, a position of delusive and iliu.sery reform, which are destructive of further and adequate improvements in church policy. On the cabinet the Ecclesiastical Commission acts as a cintrolling check: to parliament as a blind; to the country it is a mockery; and on the church it is—the word is not tee strong—a fraud. Though the funds administered or wasted, by the commission are only the surplus of the incomes of the various bishoprics and chapters which exceed the far too liberal stipends fixed by the Church Temporalities Act (and this surplus is gradually rising to 300,0001. a year), the mis chief it does is not to be measured by the revenues at its disposal. Since complete supremacy wse giveg to the episcopal element, the commission has beeoml • body of infinite power in the politicrecclesiruitioil affairs of the realm. The bishops are by it combined and united together as a great corporation; wherein unity of purpose and intents iscultivated ; wherein great legislative powers are assumed and exercised; wherein jobs are perpetrated from which individual and sepa rate responsibility would shrink ; wherein proceed ings are conducted in secrecy; and wherein opposi tion and hostility to parliamentary interference with. and csatrol of, church concerns are the first rule of episcopal conduct, end the last bond of prela ical concord. By means, and through t'e egoney, of the Ea :le sleeting Commission, there are now bishops of the church of E:.gland receiving incomes never con temp'ated by the Church Temporalities Act; as, for instanco, Dr. ItIALTBY, the present Bishop of Darham, who instead of the 8,0001. a year fixed by that statpte, enjoys upwards of twice that amount. By its connivance, there sre deans enjoying quadruple the stipends fixed that act ; as, for example, Dr. WADDINOTON, the Dean of Dur ham, whose revenues are said to be not less than 6,0001. a 3ear ; an income that indooed him to refuse the see of Manchester. By its direction enormous sums have been spent in and on palaces for the B.shope of RiroN, LINCOLN, BRISTOL, OXFORD, RociaRTER, and WELLS. In consequence of the encouragement the prelates therein astembled have given to each other, it has been laid down as a rule that bishops ought not to reside in their cathedral cities, but live, like country gen tlemen, in rural halls and beronial residences: so that now fifteen of our prelates rarely enter the episcopal cities where form•rly they were bound to reside, and where the constitution of the church has provided them with an ecclesiastical council. By its apathy and indifference, the sulky capitolar institu tions of the country, even in their, so called, reformed state, are as moles-, though not such rich, sinecures, as they were in their unreformed and graceless con dition. B 7 its intervention and assistance, the finest opportunities for parochial reform which the last decade has seen, have been shirked and thrown away; as the scandalous case of Bishop Wearmouth i n the last session of parliament will amply tee ffy. By its apathy and negligence, a large sum of money belonging to the church has been feloniously misappropriated. And with its consent, something very Like compounding felony has been committed in the compromise concluded with its late secretary and treasurer. Except for the blind thrown over ecclesiastical affairs by this Commission, it is impossible that church reform could have been so long arrested and suspended. On the ministers of the crown it has acted as a coercing power; whilst between par liament and church abuses it has operated as a ecreen. Over its transactions and measures, there have been a mystery, a eecresy, and an irresponsi bility within that have defied mastery aid supervision from without. Its mischiefs have been I accomplished and perfected ere publicity has been given to them. Its acts have become known to those injured by them only when redress was impossible. Its schemes, involving legislation, which required that thorough sifting public discussion only can secure, have never been published until they had been clothed with the force of law. Reports or summaries of its proceedings to parliament it has made none. All that the legislature has known of the exercise of its functions (until, indeed, a Committee of the House of Commons exposed its misdeeds), was that a mass of verbose and unintelligible documents was masionally thrown on the tables of parliament, thence to find their way unread to the retailers of butter end bacon. It has afforded bishops an excuse for =necessarily lengthened absence from their dio ceses. And it has brought scandal on the church by its corruptions, its adroit manipulations, and its worldly policy. It is no slight measure, then, that will reform such a body. "Lines than thorough will not do it." Now the " thorough " which is needful is the termination of the present commission ; and the substitution for it of a comprehensive body for the management of church temporalities, to be responsible to and repre sented in parliament The recommendations of Mr. EvELYJ Damson's committee were all very well in their way, considering by whom they were made. But subsequent events have shown that they are in adequate to the exigencies of the cue as it now stands. The ecclesiastical legislation of the future, which nothing can avert, will requiresome largerbody for the administration of ecclesiastical affairs; and it must engulf this mismanaged commission. The result of Lord ILtattowse's tedious commission on church 1 1 leaseholds will, it is now certain, lead to a great in crease in the value of church property. The fruit' of Lord AMILIVB leas dilatory construed= will, it cannot be doubted, beget a very great extension of the parochial system. And the further re form of cathedral institutions, certain at no distant date, will, it is to be hoped, result in • series of educational establishments of a higher and better character than now adds throughout England. Here, then, will be work for a new department of the state, whenever a statesman worthy of the great theme shall have courage to think of the Commons, and to disregard the hierarchy of the church. And it is to the esta blishment of tuck a department, free from the influ ences of priesteraft, that all sincere church reformers I ought to lock forward; it is for the establshment of snob a department, accessible to all claseee, amenable to public opinion, and responsible to the legislature, that church ref ermers will seek the aid of Sir ROBERT PEEL end Sr. JAMES GRAHAM—a depart ment which shall exinguish the Ecclesiastical COM mission, the Church Building Commie/ion, Qateen Anne's Bounty, and all the other petty expedients by which • thorough reform is thwarted and has been too hew delayed. That Mr. HouseAN'llviewa teniet will, if he have the opportunity, "rise to the height of this great argument," can hardly be doubted ; for the recom mendations cf the committee cf 1848 were, it le known, a compromise. That compromise has been, and is still, evaded and broken. And they who have larger and nobler objects in peep. ct are no longer bound by its violated I ngagements. Not indeed that he will overlook the exposure of the committee is question. No; the whole story as I to palace building, etate baying and selling, prelatical extravagance, official plunder, and com promise with plunder, must now come out; and the responsibility for these misdeeds must be placid on the right shoulders. We must now know to what extent the funds of the Ecclesiastical Commission have been robbed; how "things were mads pleasent" with the misappropriators; whether the bishop. are prepared to make up the?efaleation ; what prelate it was who re warded the unfsithful steward; and whet money transactions there have been between the late secre tary of the Ecclesiastical Commission and the prelates for whom he jobbed. Nor ought the debate to be nuprefl•able on other points. Are we to have further ecclesiastical re form this session or not P Is, or is not, the report of Lord HARROWBT'S commission on the means of im proving church property ready P Has Lord ASHLEY'S commission prepared a measure for the subdivision of great parishes, or not ? DA§ Lord Join( Russ= mean to take up the question of further cathedral re form P Them are all topics on which information may be expected this evening. Tux policy which the great states of Europe pur sue in the Levant partakes, we arc sorry to say, very much of what Mr. Cartnenz would call a sham; that is, it is a policy of appearances rather than re alities, of supporting character more than winning territory or actual poser. The statesmen of Europe who play their part on that stage are like men entering upon the enreat stage of society at home, swelling their impertonce, increasing their influ-nce, making themselves loved and dreaded and looked up to, preserving character for temper and decorum, but proving that they are not men to be slighted or trifled with ; that they can, in short, be 'valuable friends and formidable enemies. All this begets a world of mar ceavre, but few overt acts ; a greet deal of protocollirg and note-presenting, feigned affronts at sovereigns' levees, breaking off of diplomatic inter course, and menaces that communication shall be in terdicted. But the play rarely outsteps these bounds; owl when it does, when Acre is actually bombarded, the Bosphorus entered by fleets, or the Piraeus block aded, then every one cries shame, and vows that such conduct is altogether against the child's play of modern diplomacy. And in so saying, every one is perfectly right. Diplomacy is a humbug, and ought never to be allowed to step beyond the walls of its peculiar domain. For our part we have watched the iittle game of chess which NICIIOLAS, and SCHWARTZENIARO, and Lord PALMERSTON have been playing of I.te, and have been by turns 'muted, by turns put out of all patience by it. Russia's bold move to seize Kossutu, wu certainly checked by a counter move, which England deserves credit fur. The Czar, however, managed to recover his advan tage; and, in thrusting Rossi:7TH into a prison, he has metaphorically driven Lord PALMERSTON into a corner. Now, it would almost seem as if British power and influence, worsted on the Danube and the thephorus, had conceived therefrom a flt of ill humour, and had gone to wreak it at Athecs on the King of GREECE. We have a very gre.lt contempt for the said monarch and his court and his cabinet, and fear much that it was a plot of SOON democrat, hidden in the councils of the Three Great Powers, to bring constitutional monarchy into contempt, that induced them to plant such an abortion as the modern Greek government at the foot of the Parthenon. But still, abortion as it is, it is oar own; hump•bseked and rickety as the child may be, it is of our be getting ; and though some flagellation on the tit part of the person might do the Othonian dynasty good, or, at lent, serve it right, still, to bring two or three hun dred British guns to bear upon it, under the pretext of avenging some hunter's wrongs, and getting pay ment of the balance of a tailor's bill—this is not dignified. It may net be more of a sham than every thing else that is done and paid dearly for in the Levant, but it is a mean, a vulgar, and dirty sham. As to PACIFICO, his house was plundered by the mob of Napoli, who suspected him of connivance with the Egyptians, eight years before King Onus assumed the sovereignty of Greece. As to the plun der of ships on the coast of the Magna, it ts very like a wreck on the exist of Cornwall a hundred years ago. Indemnity for travellers plundered by brigands is a very serious precedent against the King ot NA PLES, who had better look sharp. The isle of Sapi enza did belong to Venice with the lonian Islands, as did several points of the mainland. It was given up to the Turks at the commencement of the cen tury. No minister at home could have ordered coercive measures to enters the rcdressal of such wrongs. We are quite convinced that they are nobody's act, but merely the result of well meant, but mistaken instructions, too literally carried out by men, who are not up to the freemasonry of diplomatic science. Sir THOMAS WYItE is too simple to understand it. He thought himself bound by his instructions, instead of flinging them aside, as a sensible man under the circumstances _ would have done. The faux-pas is made. Nothing is lei% for ministers but to brazen it out in public, and explain it away in private, until, what with delay, and ex planation, and interference, King Orno has a crow over us quite as satisfa ctory as NARVAEZ has had a year or two ago. In any case, that for which we are chiefly struggling in the Levant, viz., charac ter, is sure to be jeopardised. Our character for prudence is gone, unless we secure some advantage beyond the payment of an lonian's indemnity bill; whilst our character for courage and hardihood is risked, if we show ourselves rational and humane, after having been blustering and braggart. Never certainly was a case which so loudly called for Air. CoBDEN'S plan of arbitration. Had there been any thing like a tribunal to appeal to, the drebks would not have dared so long to palter with us, nor we at last to outrage them. In fact, a long sufferance had emboldened them. The Greek Court is a spoiled child of European diplomacy which is its parent. Who could seriously ask it to get a lesson, or to pay a debt ? Nay, till the very last moment, we encouraged it in its recklessness. Though for years British demands and remonstrances had been disregarded, nevertheless our admirals and envoys feasted at the palace, and danced there, were made welcome and returned it. Up to the last hour there were exohanges of these ame nities., and then, all of a sudden, Sir TEoMAS WISE was obliged to put on that to him almost impossible thing, a Shylock face, and demand his monies or his pound of flesh. It is difficult to say which is most ludicrous—the mock and assumed effrontery of ministers in defend ing this interference, or the peevish rage of Lord ABER DEEN, who goes pothering and special pleading about the ease. The one resembles the outrage of a @cape rsa boy, who has broken the windows of a harm less citizen; the other is like the old grandam that runs to correct him, but whose feeble arm refuses to strike, and whose toothless gums deny even the facility of scolding.

THE EXI'RESS, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 5, 1850. FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY, 6.80 r.x. The affairs of Greece, coupled with those of Switz erland, have occasioned the immediate departure of M. Drcnaya de Lhuys, who left Paris last evening as ambassador extraordinary to the British government. Count Maresealchi, the secretary, to the French em bassy, will leave in a few ds. Oa Friday eveni ng the Turkish Ambassador and Princess Ballimachi gave a brilliant entertainment, which was attended by tke Hite of Parisian society aid a number of foreigners of distinction. Several of the ministers, the corps diplomatic, a number of representatives, general officers, and high func tionaries, were present. More than 3,000 persons were in the rooms. A letter from Bourg states that the Socialists of the Saone and Loire bays elected MM. Armand Marrast, Dupont de Sumac, Medley de Mention, and Eugene Sue to replace MM. Heitman, Guidriez, L .ndolphe, and leaflet, convicted of treason before the High Court of Justice of Versailles. M. Marc Dufeaiose, a representative of the people, and editor of the Roche do La Dordogne, having been found guilty by a jury of the Charente of ex citing the population to civil war, has been sentenced to imprioonment fur six months, and to pay a fine of 2,000 f. . The Journal do Cher of the 2nd states that an Irish priest, inhabiting one of the communes of the arrondissement of Bancerrc, has been expelled France. The Debate publishes the following note, which has been addressed to it by the Swiss minister resident at Paris. It is dated the 3rd inst.: The Jarmo/der DAM* yesurlay published an article on the affairs of Switzerisad, which from its importance might merit 1 columns of observations; it will, doubt- less accept in their stead some short and simple reflections. According to that article Switzerland hes become the refuge of all swan men as have article, obliged to fly from the laws of their own country. It is forgotten that France, at this mo meat, grants hospitality t o a great num b er of Italian and Canaan refugees, meny of whom have been expelled from Switzerland; that Piedmont contains one hundred times more Italian ,refuges than Switzerland; that there are French refugees in Belgium sod in London, within 8 hours distance of Peels; that F. Ix Pyat and 13uiebot are the only two French refugees of any consequence in Switzerland ; that they are like their fellow relugees, lent into the interior at more than 12 leagues from the frontier, and their expul sion would immediate., fellow any attempt to disturb the tranquillity of France. The writer of the article in question has turgetten—ut is ignorant—that on the 16th of July the Federal Council spoataneuuely ordered the expulsion of all the refugees who had been either civil or military leaders, or who had abused the asylum received in Switzerland. It was in virtue of that decree that Messrs. Struve Miroslaw sky, Revue:, Slegil, Willieb, Bleaker, Brentano, Doll, Metternich, and several others, were expelled, and the ma jurity of whom are now in the United States. From more than 11,000 the rei ogees in Switzerland are reduced to about 1,500, including 150 Poles, whom France had refused to ad mit. It is pretended that these refugees compel Austria and Prussia to keep up armies of 000,000 and 00,000 men, and that they are the cause of five French departments beteg kept in a state of siege. Is it the act cf the Weans if Italy is rimming beneath the yoke of Austria ? and that Hungary, Bohemia, Vienna, Berlin, and Dresden have risen in insurrec tion? Would the removal of sonic refugees prevent good Germans from dreaming of social democracy, or of an em pire which should include all racks of the German people ? Again, is it just to impute to the same cause the terrible insurrection of June, 1848, in Paris, end those of Uri 13th June last, at Lyon., and at Strasburg ? No impartial person could possibly reply in the affirmative. ' Swi-zerland is the deceased point of Eurspe, which keeps up the _general in. Summation," says the article of the Daats. The truth is that for more than two years, that is to say, since the time that diplomacy hat allowed Switzerland to breathe freely, no country in Europe has enjoyed more repose. She has re meined passive in the centre of revolutions and insurrection& She has violetvly rijected every attempt, wtether on the part of M. de Lsmareine or Bing Charles Albert, havin for object to make her deviate from that neutrality which nns been guaranteed to her for a common interest. Under the benevolent itfluence of her new federal institutions she devotes all her activity to Internal ameliorations, such as roads, railways, military institutioes, reform of the monetary system, As. It is equally true that in Switzerland, thanks to her institutions, and to the good Mse of the people, Socialism has the fewest votuies. What does S eitxerland demand? Peace, nothing but poses she willingly unites with the desire of the governments to avoiu any new insurrection, for it is the surest means of her being rid of the not mecca' le charge of emigrants of all colours. Switzerland is, moreover, quite disposed to expel from Ler territory all those who, abusing the hospitality which that, receive, may be a subject of legitimate uneasiness to the neighbouring states. All suitable observations on this sub ject will deubtle's be favourably received. S mitzerland knows the consideration which is due betwe-n different states, and she particularly knows what she owes to France; but notes more or lees bitter, menaces, more or less transpa rent, frequently fail to produce the effect expected from them. Pens, February 3. Whilst on the subject of Switzerland, it may be as well to give the following litter from Gen. Dufour, published in the Geneva papers: The Amend:its Nagoonale, in its number of January 23, contains an article on 8 sti•zerlend, a, d on Geneva in parti cular, which I 'Lenin how qualifying, but the falsehood of which in what concerns me lam b eland to po nt out. After baying said that Switzerland is under the influence of the democracy and of social diaconspenition, the author of the Article ands :—" Fortunately, there are certain designs which General Dufour knows periectly wel., and by which in 'price these matters will be somewhat rectified." This assertion I cwitradiet, declaring that I have no knowledge of the designs spokes of. I have heard r obody whatever say anything about them, and I believe them to be pare inventioc—Ge neva, Jan. 28, 1850. To-day the Assemblere Natl'oxale, in reply, says : General Dufour, in giving this 'somewhat rude contradic tion, has, without doubt, thought it his duty to sacrifice the truth to grave political interests. He must at the present time regret bitterly that this sacrifice, somewhat compra naming for him, bus been uselessly made. As has been seen, events hove antirmed all our anticipations respecting Switzerland. Can U. neral Dufour deny that he fame to Patio six months back, and that he bad conferences with the President and the Minister of Foreign Affairs? Can he affirm that he was not showed to era beforehand the events which were being prepared against Switzerland ; and the causes leading to the intervention of Austria and Prussia? What is the use of denying the tyranny of the democrects and the different motives c f social decomposition in Switzerland ? General Dufour comprehends better than any one the danger: let us adi, that he fears, not as • military man, but as a political one, the movement of the People, and the exaggerations of the demucretical party ; he feels that he is borne down, and he sees before and behind him perils equally formidable. The revolutionists want to coastrain him to proceed, and, if he advances, he sees the independence of his country menaced by the continental powers. M. de Vallette,Consul-Genersl of the states of Nica• ragas, has had a conference with the minister of foreign affairs relative to the canal for uniting the Atlantic and the Pacific, the privilege of which is granted to an American company. In the Chamber the law ordering the liquidation of Louis Philippe's civil list was voted almost without debate. BY EXPRESS. MONDAY 8 P.M. After your express left Paris this evening, the democrats of the Faubourgs assembled in tumultuous groups around the base of the tree of liberty in the Rue St. Martin, which some of the police agents were attempting to cut down. The mob muttered curses loud and deep, and at last their lie broke forth into a more serious form, and the police were compelled to decamp ignominiously. The arrival of the troops, however, turned the aspect of affairs, and, although no shots were fired, yet I regret to say that blood has again been shed, and five men have been seriously wounded—two of them mortally, I believe, but the streets are so densely thronged that it is absolutely impossible to obtain any accurate information. Gen. Lamoriciere has been dragged from his carriage, but a friend pushed hint into a cabinet de lecture, from which he escaped by a back door. General aangarnier has, honorer, 100,000 men under arms, so there is little prospect of anything serious occurring during the night. PAU% Feb. 4. For I For Amount. Money. i ialiening Highest. Lowest.

The court martial appointed to decide upon the fate of Cernuachi came to an end of its labours on the afternoon of the 24th, and acquitted the prisoner fully ' and honourably on all points. He was however again conducted to the Castle of Bt. Angelo, as the fiscal officer, according to the power with which he is endowed by the French law, appealed against the judgment, and the trial will shortly come on a second time before the superior military tribunal. Colonel Blanchard, the president of the court m tidal, is allowed by all parties to have conducted the proceedings of the court in a dignified and impartial manner, whilst the defence of the prisoner was clear, bold, and eloquent. Some sensation was excited in the c,,urt by a female witness, who, in giving her evidenee, frequently made use of expressions so highly reprobatory of the con duct of the French soldiers "in (as ehe said) coming to Rome to assassinate their own brother repub licans," that she was obliged to be called to order, and menaced with imprisonment if she continued in so disrtspactful a tone. The French are fully aware of the inconsistency, not to say injustice, of their conduct, in keeping a prisoner, amenable to a court martial, which is usually held a few days only after the offence) in confinement for nearly seven months before bringing him to trial. Cernurchi's friends will not feel at ease until he is fairly out of the Roman states, as the sbirri are anxiously expect ing the moment of his release to arrest him anew, and hand him over to the tender mercie3 of the Kiug of Napier, under pretence of some existing treaties be tween the Papal and Neapolitan governments for the mutual surrender of delinquents; so that King Fer dinand would have an opportunity of trying over again the question of the spoliation of the Farness) Palace so victoriously disproved before the French court-martial. Liberal journals of all countries were forbidden to be read in the cafra or elsewhere. NAPLES.—We have letters from our correspond ent at Naples to Jan. 24. There it was said, on good authority, that the Pope would return to Rome in a few days. The con dition of the kingdom of Naples gave rise to but gloomy forebodings. Thousands of political offdnders still crowded the prisons ; and it was doubtful when they would be brought to the bir for trial. It of course need Ecsrcely be added that government was an thin g but popular. Nor were the accounts from Sicily of a more encouraging nature. Great difficulty was anticipated in collecting the newly-imposed taxer, in cons , qnence of the impoverished state of ail classes. Trade declined, atd amidst the increasing discontent the presence of a large army alone prevented revolt. Neapt.litan Fives were at 94j. Exchange on Lon don, 574. THE PENINSULAR MAIL. The Peninsular Company's steamer, Jupiter, Cap tain Meehan, arrived at Southampton yesterday afternsor, with the Peninsular mals, which were landed in chat ge of rent. Langton, R.N., Admiralty agent. Her dates are—Gibraltar, Jan. 27; Cadiz, 28 ; Lisbon, 30; Oporto, 31; Vigo, February 1. She has brought six packages of specie. From Gibraltar we learn, that on the 27th ult., the quarantine for the cholera at that place terminated, and the Jupiter was admitted to free pratique, the passengt re arriving by her lauding immediately. The health officer at Cad.a, who bo-rded the Jupiter on her return route, held out the same hopes for the next ship from England. No relaxation of the quatantine repnlations have been made at Vigo. We stattd on the 28th ult., although the fact was not mentioned by any of our contemporaries, that the British naval authorities at Gibraltar had, by a threat of warlike measures, induced the Spanish authorities to give up a British vessel, which went ashore on the nentral ground during the gale on the lath ult. The following more complete statement of the affair is from a correspondent : On the night of the 15th instant (January) the British schooner Lady Rowley wfnt on shore in a heavy gale of wind on the neutral ground at Gibraltar, and the Sprish authorities refused to allow her crew either to get her off or to discharge her cargo ; in fact, claiming a right over that small tract of loud which hes gases been held sacred as neutral ground. The affair remained thus until Saturday, the 19th, the Spaniards threatening to fire upon any onewho attempted to work at her. On that day the master of the schooner wrote a memorial to the Commander of the Janus, steam sloop of war, the senior aid only naval officer present, ' entreating protection and asking assistance. He immedi ately responded to the request, got his steam up, and proem.- fug to the spot anchored abreast of the vessel, and bringing his broadside to bear upon hcr, sent an officer to the Spanish lines with a letter to the commandant, stating his intentions, manned and armed his boats and sent them in shore. He received a verbal answer that " no invre opposition would be I shown." Having thus settled the question he withdrew, and the schooner was allowed to gn to work immediately. Letters have been written to Lieut. Powell, the commander of the Janus, by the consignees of the cargo and others con nected with the schooner, and he has also received the public thanks of the committee of merchants for his craight. forward, firm, sod gallant con .uct. As a naval officer, when called upon he had but one course to pursue, had he acted otherwise the merchants, in all probability, would have i written against him, and the schooner might have been lost, u it is she was got off on Friday last, the 25th, and is now at anchor in Gibraltar Bay. We learn trent our Lisbon correspondent that the opposition to the Portuguese ministry having been in vited to frame a formal accusation against the Count de Thomar at present declined to do so, saying they had no proofs to offer. Whereupon a vote of confidence in the Count was proposed and carried by 61 against 8. The reply to the Queen's speech, as proposed by the committee, was carried by 65 votes against 9, by which not only the ministers have gained a triumph, but the Count a personal one ; their policy is conse quently approved. Dissatisfaction exists in the pro vinces, excited by an almost universal poverty. This the opposition is trying to turn to their own advan tage, but tranquillity has not yet been disturbed. Though the American President's message caused at first some excitement from a dread that hos tility would be directed against Portugal, yet reflec tion has induced the belief that there is nothing be tween the two countries which cannot be amicably settled. The Prince Regent and Terrible had ar rived in the Tagus. Exchange, 54 die. on Lisbon. Bank notes, 20. THE UNITED STATES. Our New York correspondent writes : NEW YORK, JAN. 23. The House of Representatives has not yet com pleted its ergs:bastion fully, the last struggle being for the choice of a doorkeeper, still unsettled, with which the slavery question was most absurdly con nected. This is certainly the hinge on which every thing now turns at Washington—swinging, it must be admitted, rudely enough. Without wearying you with particulars, it is enough to say, that evidently a great jealousy has grown up between the democratic representatives of the slave-holding and the non slave-holding states. There is a want of confidence between them which prevents their harmonious action, and the enjoyment of the advantages re sulting from their possession of a majority in congress. The southern members continue to demand that slavery shall not be restricted in the new territories on the Pacific, acquired by the common expenditure of blood and treasure. The anti-slavery men soy, California has adopted for herself a consti tution, and, as a sovereign state, if admitted to the union, has a right to establish her own domestic in stitutions on such a basis as she chooses, only exert. ing the right which every southern state exercises and defends. California will no d.•ubt be admitted to the union in the form:she wishes to have, and there is left only one more ditch for the south to die in—that of NeW Mexico. This territory will not be populous enough in some time to become a state, and therefore an open question will still remain for the south, on which it may, with enforced breath, utter its cries of " Woe, woe to the union!" Sometimes I think the south lives on this aliment alone. Without this the southern stares would lose their cohesion, their ani mation, their power of influencing the govern ment, and of obtaining their undue share of office. It is precisely by such threats as they now utter, that they have so often ruled the republic. There are many reasons why they cannot be In earnest. In r the slave holding states, there are only three hundred thousand persons who own elves, but there are eight hundred thousand who do not. The disunionist, would be in a minority of whites on their own soil. Then, again. the slaves themselves wauld rise in all human probability, under the secret iefluenee of the abolitionists, and massacre their masters. Very pee -1 sibly the personal safety of the slaveholdere depends chiefly on the fear which the slaves entertain of the northern power. But the whole subject is likely to be quieted by a compromise act, to be introduced by Mr. Clay, and the message of President Taylor, just sent to congress, in which he takes the following moderate view of the difficulty. Very singularly, this whole question Is one to be decided by the democrats themselves. Cslifornia is a radical democratic state and eschews slavery. 0 .io is a democratic state and repudiates it altogether. The question, therefore, ceases to wear a party ohs renter. I: divides both parties and will be settled on its own merits. This is fortunate, and ensures a final remit on purely national and patriotic principles. Mr. Calhoun, the master spirt of the read', has again beers very st riously attacked with illness, the issuer f which is extremely doubtful. Should he die much of the present difficulty would die with him. This idea I have suggested in former lefties. I come to the conclusion that the Uniun is in no danger whatever, and that should any portion of the South attempt resicance to the general governm nt it will be quelled without a serious conflict. General J son sent a squadron to lie off the harbour of Charles ton when South Carolina once attempted " to nul lify" the general laws of the Union, and that was enough to put down that attemp'. General Taylor is just the men to do the same thing. Since my last we have been able to amiers'and a I:ttle care the condition and prospects of California. The Cherokee MA arrived from Cringres, with a valuable freight of gold dust and a large number of passengers, most of whom intei.d to raarn. They have generally been very ewers-fel, ar.d reeve only come back fur a short time, to place their families la comfortable circumstances, and, though they have "seen the Elephant," are in no wi a alarmed by the 'Non. Gold is now found in the quartz reek in the greatest abundance, and it is believed to be inexhaustible. It is computed that thirty millions of dollars have actuslly been taken from the earth, and shipped to various parts of the world. At the last dates provisions and lumber continued to be high, while the imports nevertheless were enor mous. It is already ascertained, that San Francisco, so far as it is to be Judea by the revenue it collects for the government, is the fourth comm ecial port in rank in North America. And as yet its commerce has seemly a beginning. At the latest accounts a large number of emigrants were turnin.s their attention to apiculture' pursuits, in order to supply the demands of the county fur vegetable food. Wharfs were being built, and ail the navigable streams emptying into the bay of San Francisco, were now navigated by steamers. Near the Silt Lake, where the Nlormone are rots ! gregated, gold is found in imm.nse quantities. It is absolutely raked out of the gritted. The traders who have gone them have become wealthy by a single venture. The whole of this gold business seems like romance, yet it is strictly true. I have had Roder my own eye, and have entered at the Custom-house, for the esta blishment with which lam connected in frailness, a hundred thousand dollars 4t a time, all in small leather packages, addressed to at least a hundred per sons, by those who have gathered it themselves. By the way of San Fraacsco we have news from the Sandwich Islands to the 3rd of November. Triers is nothing new or importsut, except the gallent con duct of the captain end officers of h-r Britannic Ma jesty's ship the Blossom, in the Northera Ocean, who, hearing of an American whale ship, the Tiger, being imbedded in the ice, and in great dan,rer, went thirty miles oat e f their way to render assi,ta - me, and cut her way for her two miles into blue water. 'nig noble act deserves the highest praise; it has Excited our warmest sympathy, and induces the hopa that the rivalry of two eereat no t ions of the some bl•iod and language may be c•mfined to the performance of diode of friendship and kindness towards each other. There are really bat two se•.sible nations in the world, let them draw close their tics of consanguinity. Without them the world would be an Aceldama. In them the great Itulcr of the universe chiefly reveals the great truths o; nature and revelation clearly and perceptibly. Let us fulfil our mission. I must not forget to sta'e that tha English captain who rescued the passenge.a and crew ot the Caleb Grimshaw was received on Las arrival here with the most marked attention. A testimonial, in honour of his good conduct, has been presented him by our mer chants; and when he went on 'Change he w .s cheered by our merchants, and addressed in a set speech full of Kind and grateful feeling. It Las been said that since the operation of your policy of free trade, by which we understand the melioration of the restrictions upon commerce, the amount of specie in the Beak of England is greatly increased. So it is with us. We have in New York a large increase, the amount being about 10 miliions of dollars. If we add together the sums on hand in the banks of New York, Boston, Baltimore, Phila delphia, and New Orleans, they amount to 28 mil lions. The solution of this is to be feund only in one theory, namely, that u free trade promotes the ex change of commodities, the amount of specie required to liquidate and pay off the balances of trade is less than when the balance cau not be so settled. This appears to me to be as clear as noonday. If so, I shall have to confess the yield ing of some prejudices I have entertaint d ot a con trary character. We have seen in this country so often the fetal effects of a disturbance ot our specie market, such a total ruin of values, from an unex pected demand for the precious metal!, such a conse quent prostration of trade, such a depreciation of prc perty, that our greatest statesmen have said, let us have a prohibition of trade and a tariff that will anni hilate it, rather than be subject to this ruinous depen dency on foreign countries, who at their pie3s ire may bankrupt us by calling for their balances in coin. But if it shall prove, that by free trade, we exchange almost on terms of equality--that we can get what we want, for what we can give, and if exchange under these circumstances continues to rule at the lowest points, it specie remains quietly in the coff:rs ' of both countries, accumulating beyond any probable demand for it, and property maintains a steady value. or if unsteady, rises rather than falls. then I say, we have found out the true elixir for national health, and heaven forbid that we should substitute for it an antiquated nostrum.
