The following is the report of the commission charged to examine the proposition relative to a mo dification of the Constitution, conformably to articles 31 and 32 : " Messieurs les Senatours,—France, attentive and excited, now demands from you a great political act. You are called upon to put an end to her anxieties and to secure ber future. " But this act, however important, does not meet with any of those great difficulties which obstruct the wis dom of legislators. You know the wishes expressed by the Councils-General, the Councils of Arron dissement, and the addresses of the communes of France,—wishes for stability in the Government of Louis Napoleon, and for return to a political form which has struck the world by the majesty of its power and by the wisdom of its laws. You have heard that immense petition of a whole people, following in the footsteps of its liberator, and those enthu siastic cries, which may almost call a plebiscite by anticipation, proceeding from the hearts of thousands of agriculturists and workmen, manufacturers and trades men. Such manifestations make the task of statesmen an easy one. There are circumstances in which fatal necessities prevent the firmest legislator from acting in harmony with public opinion and with his own reason; other circumstances there are amidst which he wants much reflection in order to solve questions on which the country has not sufficiently decided. You, gentle men, are not exposed either to this constraint or to this embarrassment. The national will urges you on and supplicates you, and your vast experience tells you tnat in yielding to her entreaties you will assist in re placing France in the paths which are suitable to her .interests, to her grandeur, and to the imperious neces sities of her situation. All this is, in fact, explained by the events which are being enacted before you. " After periods of great political agitation, it always happens that nations throw themselves joyfully into the arms of the strong man whom Providence sends to them. It war the fatigue of civil wars which made a monarch of the conqueror of Actium; it was the horror of revo lutionary excesses as much as the glory of Marengo which raised the imperial throne. In the midst of the recent dangers of the country, this strong man stood forth on the 10th of December, 1848, and on the 2d of December, 1851, and France confided to him her stand ard, which was then declining. If, on this memorable Tourney, which was nothing but a series of triumphs, she has declared her will to confide it to him for ever, it is because by his courage and by his prudence the man has shown himself equal to the task; it is because, when a nation feels itself tormented by the agitations of a stormy Government, a necessary reaction leads it towards him who can best secure order, stability, fled repose. " Louis Napoleon, therefore, is in this wonderful situ ation,—that he alone holds in his hands these inestima ble gifts. He has, in the eyes of France, his immense services, the magic of his popularity, the reminiscences of his race, the imperishable remembrance of order, of organiz ttion. and of heroism, which give a louder pul sation to the hearts of all Frenchmen. He revives in the eyes of Europe the greatest name of modern days, not only for the military triumphs with which his history is so rich, but for chaining down the political and social tempests, for endowing France with the conquests of peace, and for strengthening and fertilizing the good relations of States. Both at home and abroad it is to h im that is attached a vast future of pacific labour and or civilization. That futuro must not be at the mercy of the chance of events and to the surprise of factions. " Hence France demands the monarchy of the Empe ror; that is to say, order in revolution, and rule in de n iocracy. She wished it on the 10th of December, when c he artifices of an inimical constituti n o prevented the people from expressing their opinion ; she desired it again on December the 20th, when the moderation of a noble character stifled the demand. But now the public sentiment overflows like a torrent ; there are moments when enthusiasm, too, has the right of solving politi ca l Iquestions. For some time past visible signs announced what must be the mission of Louis Napoleon, and the provident reason of statesmen put itself in accordance with the popular instinct in order to fix its charac ter. After the bitter sarcasm which put the heir to a crown at the head of the Republic, it was evident that France, still democratic by habit, never ceased to be monarchical he her instincts, and that she wished for the re-establishment of the monarchy in the person of the Prince who revealed himself to her as the conciliator of two ages and of two minds, the line of union of the Go vernment and of the people, the monarchical symbol of organized democracy. "At the end of the last century the preponderance of the democratic element gave rise to a belief in speculative or ardent minds that France ought to mark the new era into which she had entered by a divorce between her Government and the monarchical form. The Republic was borrowed from the recollections of antiquity. But in France political limitations seldom succeed. Our country, although taxed with frivolity, is invincibly attached to certain national ideas and to certain traditional habits, by which it preserves the originality on which it prides Itself. The Republic could not acclimatize itself on the French soil. It perished by its own excesses, and it only went into those excesses because the instincts of the nation were averse to the new form of government, The Republic was but an interregnum, brilliant abroad and terrible at home, between two .nonarchies. " At that period glory raised to power one of those men who found dynasties and who traverse ages. blouriehing on that new stein Franco beheld a mullet chy suitable to modern times, and yielding to no other in its grandeur and in its power. Was it not a great lesson to see a similar fortune reserved 50 years after fora second trial of the Republican form ? Is it not a striking example of the perseverance of the French mind in :flings which are like the substance of her political life ? Is not the proot complete and decisive ? " It will be the more so as the Irepsrial Monarchy has all the advantages of the Republic without its dangers The other monarchical regimes (the illustrious services of which we will not depreciate,) have been accused of having placed the throne too far from the people, and the Re public, boasting of its popular origin, skilfully en trenched itself against them in the masses, who thought they were forgotten and overlooked. But the Empire, stronger than the Republic, on democratic grounds, removes that objection. IC was the Government which the people most energetically supported, and most deeply regretted. The people have again found it in their memory to oppose it to the dreams of idealogiets and to the attempts of perturbators. On the one hand, it is the only one which can boast of ;he right recognized by the old monarchy.--` That it is to the French nation that it belongs to choose its King; on the other, it is the only one which has not had quarrels to settle with the people. When it disappeared in 1814, it was not by a struggle of the nation against the Go vernment. The chances of an unequal foreign war effected that violent divorce. But the people have never ceased to see in the Empire their emanation and their work ; and they placed it in their affections far above the Republic—an anonymous and tumultuous Govern ment, which they remember much more by the violence of its proconsuls than by the victories which were the price cif French valour. , Tha t is why the Ndpoleonian monarchy absorbed the Repub lie once, and why it must absorb it a second time- The Republic is virtually in the Empire, by the contract like ch tracter of the institution, and by the oommunica don an d express delegation of power by the people. But the Em pire is superior to the Republic, because it is also the mot larchy, that is to say, the government of all con fided to the moderating action of one, with hereditary successi on as a condition, and stability as its con eequenc as. Monarchy has the excellent quality of yielding admirably to the progress of civilization; by turns fc ,tidal, absolutist, and mixed, always old, and always modern, it has only to reopen the era of its dery incratic transformation which was inaugerated by the . Emperor. That is what France now wishes; it is what , is asked of you by a country fatigued with utopian ideas, incredulous with respect to political ab straction s, and whose genius, a union of sound sense and poesy, a s so constituted that it has no faith in power, unless tt at power is revealed in the form of a hero or a prince. " Eves i if the love of Frenchmen for monarchy be only a prejudice, it must be respected ; a people can only be governed in accordance with its ideas. Bat it must in particulat r be respected, because it is inspired by the most ease )ntial necessities, and the most legitimate inte rests of I he country. '• Fra a ce is a great State, desirous of presenting at home a red abroad the force which a vast territory and 35,000 ( 100 of inhabitants give. She is both agri cultural and commercial. Notwithstanding the fer tility o: F her soil, she would be poor if manufactures were no t to add immense personal to real capital, and if the testi ) for polite enjoyments and moderate luxury did not give to labour an aliment, and one which is always new. I int labour, in order to arrive at the result of its ventures i must needs be supported by so many a d vances of funds, and such a persevering continuance of efforts, that all s ,uccess would escape itelere interrupted or troubled by the storms of a disquieting and subversive erly and prosperous any other form .

" Ancient Rome, so far from contaedicting this rule, fully confirms it. The Republic was only in the city, and for the city. Beyond it there ware only avaricious masters and oppressed subjects. If ever France can be said to have had a leaning to a republican government it was in the middle ages, when the republican spirit, extinguished from the time of the Cse3ars, had again :awoke in a part of Europe ; when France was checkered -with 411 but independent provinces, and when the feudal principalities were in all parts menaced by the com munal movement. But since that moment all the interior action of France has removed her from the republican form. She, in particular, has separated from i t when she gave herself a united territory and thirty-five a z illi ons of inhabitants, living under the same laws, in t' re s same country, and united by an infinite chain of 6., pendent interests, which the same movement of circa- , lint ion causes to terminate in a sole centre. Such a people I is . not to bo shaken, as were the eitiz ne of a single city, eve nif called Athens or Rome. A country which lives by ; its labour, and not by the labour of slaves and pre sent a from the State, cannot be occupied with speeches of ti to forum, with the pernanestt agitation of coatis, with the terbulent cares of shifting politics. This fever, to which democratic republics give the name of political life, cannot with impunity be communicated to a nation Those splendour particularly consists in the pacific de velopment of its wealth, and in the regular an intelligent activity of its private interests. " Our fathers learned these truths in the rude school of public and private mi,fortune. They compose all the interior policy of the commencement of this century.* Why should incorrigible innovators have in these latter times inflicted the too palpable demonstration of them upon us? We have seen altars raised to instabiliiy and to periodical convulsions, the two plagues of the social body; we have seen laws made to reduce to solemn pre cepts the febrile and terrible crisis which may ruin a people; we have seen the vessel of the State launched on an unknown sea, without a fixed point to guide itself by, without an anchor to cast out; and no one can say what would have become of the future of France if Pro vidence, watching over her, had not raised up the man of the intrepid heart, who extended his hand to her. "France, with full knowledge of what she is doing, intends to return to her natural state. She longs agai❑ to find her real position and her equilibrium. The French nation, in its admirable common sense, is not so infatuated with its superior qualities as to be blinded to its weak points. It knows itself variable in its impres sions, prompt to be worked on, and easy to be led astray; and, bacause it distrusts the rapidity of a first movement, it seeks a fixed point in its institutions, and desires to be retained on astable and solid basis. The French de mocracy has sometimes been compared to that of Athens. We have no objection to the comparison, as far as po liteness and elegance of mind are concerned, hut we, in all other respects, utterly disclaim the similitude. The Greek democracies were nothing but a perpetual flax and reflex, never accepting the corrective of their levity. They were, besides, idle and grasping, living on the civic oildi and distributions of food. O❑ the other hand, the French democracy, of a more mas culine and more haughty character, does not look to the State for the care of its wellbeing; it depends on its own efforts f or support, and most joyfully submits to the eternal law of God—daily labour. Its sp--culations em braced the whole world; it cultivates the earth with its free bands; it furrows the mighty deep with its vessels; it multiplies its industrial creations, engenders capital, and makes the future tributary to its able and immense combinations. When a nation thus founds it enterprises on credit and durability, when sometimes not less than half a century is necessary to it to reap the benefit of its operations, it is not the institutions of a day that can give it any hope of their success. Such a nation would be mad, if it did not desire to make the moving sphere of its interests turn round the motionless axis of a monarchy. •• It is true that in Franca equality is an object of ab solute worship, and a monarchy has, as its very first condition, the privileged existence of those grand and rare individualities which God raises above their fellows e th e e ive pe i r t s i o n ni F fi r c i a in ti c : o a f d m a it s people w i th a ,q) n u d t the jeal c o o u n s c y e n t t h r ao those e e d p ro . to form dynasti es , an d w hi c h are l ess h uman beings than ra diation of a civilization.

At R om e and Athena missible to the supreme authority and it is, end when Augustus had converted the Republic into a Monarchy. In France we considered it as saved and confirmed for ever under the reign of the Emperor. The reason is that in this country of equality there is nothing that is less supported than the govern ment of one's equals, because equality is there fully satisfied in holding everything in its grasp—place', credit, wealth, and renown—and in having a wide and open road before it, which leads to everything ex cept that extreme point of power, that inaccessible summit, which care for the public tranquillity has pieced high above all private aspiratiow. By these means the democracy wonderfully agrees with the monarchy, and that union is the more solid since common sense unites with the habits of the people in cementing it. " But, should cavilling minds, believing themselves more wise than the whole country, bring forward, as an objection to the desire expressed for the hereditary em pire, the inconveniences which minorities and bad princes may, at certain intervals, produce in mon archical States, we would reply that all human institutions contain within themselves certain de fects and weaknesses. The monetehy has not the privilege of perfection; it has simply for France, the merit of an incontestible superiority over the system of perpetual election, which only offers an eternal series of stru gg l e s and haz trds, and which solves one difficulty only for the purpose of immediately leaving another pending. " Some ancient States, believing that they were im proving on the monarchical system, placed in sovereign and immoveable assemblies that element of stability which dynasties represent. But have not such assem blies also had their moments of weakness? Does not their history exhibit melancholy instances of venality or tyranny? Has not their baseness given them insolent and seditious guardians? And in the point of view of moral responsibility, which is one of the great checks on the conscience, there Is not the slightest comparison be tweet a man and an assembly. In assemblies, the re sponsibility of the body effaces that of the individual; and,as a collective responsibility is very nearly illusory, it comes to pass that that irresponsibility, which some times constitutes the force and independence of assem blie3, is also the cause of their excesses. In a Prince, on the contrary, the responsibility is undivided and in evieabie, and presses with all its weight on the side of duty. In fine, when evil ere, pa into a sovereign political body, it continues there as a precedent, increases as a tradition, and the thing itself can only be kept up by keeping up the evil. On the contrary, if evil glides to the throne, it causes alarm only by temporary and in termittent perils, which are, besides, extenuated by the institutions and moeificatiuns which aro more easily el footed in the ease of a man than in that of au assembly. Th, f-eble Louis XIII. was foll,wed by the grand Louis XIV.; and, besides, Louis XIII, is, in the eyes of pos terity, covered by his Miuister, Richelieu. " These general considerations appear to us to prove sufficiently that the national sentiment which addresses itself to you, gentlemen, as to s-age mediators between the people and the Prince, is neither a frivolous caprice nor a fleeting infatuation. Behind the fascination of a great name, and above the gratitude which is felt for the acts of a noble and patriotic courage, there are grand thoughts, powerful interests, and an admirable intuitive perception of the public necessities. France, gentlemen, desires to have the life of a great nation, and not that Y existence which consumes the the last four years, while subjected siie has known how to correct evils of a deplorable situation. that such a situation should be gleams of safety, ps t bbß o or yr uceoptichuaeaegirirrhitibl precarious i u u o d st s s oo y d ' na a e n ecs pd eel experiments,onsusissreaic.:t During possibly be based.

That debt was imposed on the Prince on the day when the cries of " Vive l'Empereur !" hailed him on his passage; and he will accept it virtually, but necessarily, the day when the crown graces his head. Far, E lime the Empire is established with a view to the future, it ought to carry with it all the legitimate consequences which preserve thst future from uncertainty and convulsions. "In default of the direct line and of the adoptive line, the case of succession in the collateral line must be pro- vided for. On that point we propose to you a clause by which the people should confer on Louis Napoleon the right of regulating by an organic decree that orders of succession in the Bonaparte faintly. By that means our Senates Consultuni will remain more per- fectly in accordance with the popular wish, which in it unlimited confidence has placed in Louis Napoleon's hands the destinies of the country; it will like wise be more in conformity with the political changes which Francs has entered into since the 2d of Decem- bet% The greatest political genius of Italy, in the 16th century, was accustomed to say that in those rare and solemn moments in which the question is to found a new State the will of a single man was indispensible.# That is what the nation comprehended so admirably when it intrusted to Louis Napoleon the task of drawing up the constitution which governs us. At present, that a capi tal modification is taking place in one of the very foun dations of that constitution, it appears natural and logical to again confer on Louis Napoleon a portion of the constituent power, in order that, i❑ the special point which concerns most intimately the interests of the dynasty of which the nation declares him the head, he may enact such provisions as appear to him most suit able to the public interest, and to the interest of the monarch. For his family, as well as for the country, Louis Napoleon is the man of au exceptional situation, and no fear must be entertained of adding to his power, in order that, with the assent of all, he may settle it by the authority of a single person. We therefore propose to you, after a conference with the organs of the Go vernment, which has led to unanimity of opinion, an article thus worded :—`Art. 4. Louis Napoleon Bona parte regulates, by an organic decree addressed to the Senate and deposited in the archives, the order to the succession to the throne in the Bonaparte family, in case he should not leave auy direct or adopted heir.' " It is not necessary for us to say to you, that in this system the formula to be submitted to the French people ought to contain an express mention of that delegation. It will be necessary, according to the constitution, that the French people be called on to declare whether it desires or not to invest Louis Napoleon with the power which we conceive ought to be conferred on him. "After having thus spoken of the succession to the imperial crown, the Senatus Consultum carries its atten• tion to the condition of the family of the EinpPror. It divides it into two pirts:-Ist, the Imperial family, pro perly so called, composed of the parsons who may by possibility be called to the throne, and of their deseen7 dents of both sexes; and, 2d, of the other members o the Bonaparte family. " The situation of the Princes and Princesses of the Imperial family is to be regulated by Senatus Consulta, and they cannot marry without the Emperor's consent. Art. 6 pronounces for any infraction of this regulation of public interest the penalty of losing all right to the succession, with the proviso, however, that in case of the dissolution of the marriage by the death of the wife, without issue, the right is at once recovered. " As to the other members of Bonaparte family, who compose the civil family, it is to the Emperor, and not any longer to Senatus Consulta, that it appertains to fix by statutes their titles and situation. It is useless to insist on this distinction, as it is explained by the difference which exists between the civil family and that uniting in itself the double character of civil and political family. "We have also to request your special attention to the final paragraph of article 6, which confers on the Emperor full and entire authority over all the members of his family. These special powers are called for by the gravest considerations, and belong to the right generally claimed by reigning families. Princes are placed in so lofty a position by public right and national interest that they are, in many respects, beyond the pale of the common law. The greater their privileges are, the more their duties are immense towards the country. Montesqiiieu has said, ' It is not for the reigning family that the order of secession is established, but because it is the interest of the State that there should be a greatness o y their must dig n b dignity, retained the in a reigning family.' Th ey b e l ong, there f ore, to the State b y stiecter ties tha n o th er c i t i zens, an d on account of t h e i r very ir actions perpetual wardship, und er th e guar di ansh i p of the Emperor, the defender appreciator sort of o th f e and who stands in the place of father and guardian, in order to preserve this patrimony intact to the nation. If these reasons do not apply in all their extent to the members of the private family, there are others of not less importance, which are drawn from the conjoint responsibility imposed by a name which is the property of the nation, as much as of the persons who have the honour of bearing it. "Besides, several of these persons have the privilege of being the only ones in the State that the Emperor can place by adoption in the rank of persons who many succeed to the crown. But there is no public privilege which ought not to be paid for by duties specially created to justify its necessity, and to co-operate in the object of its establishment. "There is another point which it is sufficient for us to remind you of—the maintenance of the Satin Law in the Imperial dynasty. In France, the Salto Law is, so to speak, incorporated with the monarchy, and although its origin goes back to the remote,t periods, it has so completely penetrated into our way of thinking, and is altogether so much in accord with the rules of French policy, that it is inseparable from all transformations in tee monarchical principle. "Finally, gentlemen, the Senatus Consultum provides for the ease in which the throne should be vacant. ever the nation should be so unfortunate as to experi ence this I.t iction' (to use the language of the celebrated edict of July 1717) •it would be tor the nation to repair it. Arr. 5 I..rmally rec. ,guizes this fundamental essential, and inalienable right. At the same time, it provides for the means of preparing a choice worthy of the French people, by its prudence and maturity. In consequence, an organic Senatus•Consultum, proposed to the Senate by the Ministers formed into a Council of Government, with the addition of the President of the Senate, the President of the Legislative body, and the President of the Council of State, shall be submitted to the free acceptance of the people, and will give to France a new Emperor. " Such, gentlemen, are the principal provisions of the Senatus Consultum now submitted to you for considera tion, and which will prepare the august contract of the nation with its chief. Should you adopt it, you will order, by a concluding article, in virtue of the constitu tion, that the people bo consulted concerning the re establishment of the Imperial dignity in the person of Louis Napoleon the combinations of whose suc cession we have just explained to you. But, gentlemen, we may affirm, while bending at present before a public will which only asks for an occasion to burst forth afresh, that the Empire is accomplished; and that Empire, the dawn of which has lighted up the path of Louis Napoleon in the departments of the south, rises over France surrounded by the most suspicious auguries. Everywhere hope revives in men's minds ; everywhere capital, restrained by the uncertainty of the future, rushes with ardour into the channels of business ; and everywhere the national sap circulates and vivifies to produce the most abundant fruits. " This reign, gentlemen, will not be cradled in the midst of arms and in the camp of insurgents Pimtorian guards. It is the work of the national feeling, most spontaneously expressed ; it has been produced in our commercial towns, in our ports, in the most peaceful centres of agriculture and manufactures, and in the midst of the joy of an affectionate people; it will consequently be the Empire of Peace—that is to say, the Revolution of 1789 without its revolutionary ideas, religion without intolerance, equality without the follies of equality, love for the people without Socialist charlatanism , and national honour without the calamities of war. Ah ! if the great shade of the Emperor should cast a glance at this France which he loved so much, it would thrill with joy at beholding the gloomy predictions of St. Helena, at one moment being so near realised, totally disproved. No, Europe is not to be delivered up to disorder and anarchy I No, France will not lose the grandeur of her institutions; and the ideas of Napoleon, directed towards peace by a generous-minded Prince, will be the safeguard of civilisation." 4 4 * Debbesi pigliare questo per una regola generale, the non mai, o di rado, occorre ch'alcuna republics, o regno, sta, da principio, ordinato bene, se non e ordinato da uno."—(hla chiavelli, on Titus Livius,' 1,9.)

DANIEL WEBSTER (From the Times.) To the remarkable deaths which will hereafter signalize the obituary of 1852 we may now add that of the man who by common consent was reputed the greatest among the statesmen of the New World. The knowledge generally possessed by Englishmen respecting the life and services of Daniel Webster will, perhaps, hardly prepare them for the sensation which his decease has created in the country of his birth. He is spoken of in America almost as Peel was spoken of in England. The journals of the States appear in mourning for the departed states man, writers of all political denominations concur in eulogistic biographies, and the reception of the intel• ligence in every town of the Union is chronicled with uniform testimony to the popularity of the subject. As far, indeed, as concurrence of admiration can be taken for proof, we should be justified in ranking Daniel Webster among the truly great men of his age. In this opinion, however, it is not probable that the voice of Europe or the decision of history will en tirely concur. The truth is, that Mr. Webster's re putation was eminently American, and the apparent grandeur of its proportions was due in no small de gree to that spirit of hyperbole in which the citizens of the States are accustomed to address themselves to all national topics. They magnify their statesmen as they magnify their scenery or their strength, not, it must be owned, for purposes of delusion, and still less with the emptiness of Asiatic boasting, but with the exaggeration incidental to Democratic institutions and national adolescence. Besides this, Mr. Webster's qualities appealed directly to the passions and senti ments of his countrymen. His oratorical powers were remarkable, and in no country does popular oratory exercise so great an influence as in the United States. Americans are enchained by speeches, and when Daniel Webster addressed an audience already predisposed to admiration, his eloquence rarely failed to rouse them to enthusiasm. In justice to his me mory, it should be added that this eloquence was usually employed on the side of genuine policy. Nor would it, indeed, be easy, with certain recent excep tions, to point out any question in which his authority was not ultimately exerted in the general interests of conciliation and peace. But it was not from this personal gifc that Mr. Webster's reputation derived its most characteristic feature. He, above all others, was peculiarly the person in whom American statesmanship was dis- ) played before the eyes of Europe. He was the con ventional representative of his countrymen in their diplomatic relations with the other great Powers of the world. It was not that he enjoyed any extraor dinary tenure of those Ministerial appointments to which such functions are committed, but his terms of office coincided remarkably with some of the mos critical conjunctures of the foreign policy of the Union, and to the consideration of these subjects he brought an extensive store of jurisprudential informa tion, great personal aptitudes, and a wisdom, if not liberality of view, beyond that usually prevailing around him. It is true that he was an American, but he was an American who had seen the world, and he recognized those necessities of international inter course for which Republican politicians are sometimes fain to substitute the suggestions of impulse, interest, or power. In this capacity he commanded a respect more universal than attached to him as a Whig sena tor or a popular speaker. He filled with considerable success what would otherwise have been almost a void in the pretensions of his countrymen. In him they saw an American who had not only carried American elections and guided the discussions of Congress, but who had met the diplomatists of Europe on fair ground without discredit, and who enjoyed in the capitals of the Old World a distinction which in other cases was limited to the towns of the Union. The extent, if not the character, of this renown, is sufficiently evinced by the attention now paid to his memory. We do not imagine, as we have already intimated, that the verdict of Europe will altogether support the natural partialities of America ; but, at any rate, the event now announced will be esteemed of European impor tance, and it will be universally admitted that a states man of the world has been lost in the senator of Massachusetts. It is in this representative capacity that he has been so remarkably endeared to the people of the Union, nor was there any more striking feature in the recent political rivalries than the respect which in the most passionate heats of conflict was uniformly paid to his general pretensions. Even those who opposed his elevation acknowledged his claims, and so univer sally was he recognized as a " great man," that his adversaries were compelled to show cause why great men should not always be made Presidents. He was a distinguished and successful lawyer, a writer of considerable repute, a triumph orator, a veteran Par liamentarian, and, above all, a celebrated American. It is unfortunate that his latest displays should have been so unfavourable to his renown. On the present occasion we should be naturally reluctant to bring these blemishes conspicuously into view, but it can not be denied that the questions of the bay fisheries and the Lobos Islands placed the departed statesman in no creditable light either as a Miuister or a civilian. We are the less called upon, indeed, to conceal or qualify our opinions, since the justice of our strictures was afterwards confirmed by the reversal of American policy in Mr. Web•ter's own hands• Either from declining strength or incidental disability, or some increase of that extraneous bias from which few American politicians can remain exempt, it is manifest that he took a wrong course, without evidence of any laudable motive. In his earlier views of foreign policy he was both mere successful and correct. At various times it became his duty to assist at or con duct some of the most important negotiations in which the Government of the Union was ever engaged. The North-Eastern boundary, the provisions of mutual extradition, the right of search on the high seas, and the Oregon frontier constituted successive questions of policy, involving the highest interests of more than one State, and in all these discussions the influence of Mr. Webster's authority was both power fully and meritoriously evinced. On points, too, of more exclusively local interest, such as the annexation of Texas, the Mexican war, the reception of new States into the Union, and the compromise of the slavery disputes, his voice was heard on the side of moderation and equity. Indeed, when not biased by the temptations of party, or swayed by the pres sure of a political crisis, he was far too sagacious to be seduced into error or excess, and his support might be confidently anticipated by the promoters of right and reason. There is nothing surprising in the esteem and affec tion with which his name is now regarded throughout the provinces of the States, for his very faults were the faults of his countrymen, cherished for their plea sure, and caricatured for their benefit. In many re spects—in his oratory, for instanc e , i n hi s popular i ty, and in his eminent nationality--he presents a marked resemblance to Daniel O'Connell; but he enjoys this superiority over the great agitator, that he never seri ously designed to lead his countrymen astray. If he talked to them after their own fashion, he rarely car ried these popular views into the practical administra tion of the State; and if his resistance to public ex travagance was not always what might have been de sired, it was perhaps as much as could be attempted. He was beyond all doubt an accomplished scholar, an acute lawyer, an experienced diplomatist, and a great statesman. In this last capacity his proceedings were occasionally opposed to our ideas of such a character, hut it must be remembered that statesmen are ad justed to states, and a Minister who can secure the permanent approbation of his own countrymen with as fair a renown abroad as was enjoyed by Daniel Webster, has achieved as much glory as even the best politicians are likely to obtain. FORTIINE-TELLING.—A fellow, named Tattersall, who has just been committed to the Rochdale House of Cor rection, a short time ago induced a woman, named Ann Howard, of Facit, near Rochdale, to believe that he pos sessed certain supernatural powers; and, amongst other marvellous revelations, he told her that she was under the power of some mysterious enchantment, from which he would deliver her on the payment of ss. The woman paid the mo ney, and in consequence of a promise she had made to give herself and children to be controlled by him, she became very unhappy, supposing that she had by that promise rendered herself subject to an infernal power, from which she could not be released. Her fears became so alarming as ultimately to dethrone re ason, and she h as b een conveyed by the local authorities to the lunatic asylum. FATAL RAILWAY Accumwr.—On Sunday evening, an accident, resulting in the death of two highly re spectable persons, took place at the Seaforth station of the Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport Railway. Mr. Edward Hamnett, of Islington, Liverpool, principal of an eminent firm in that town, was, with his niece, a governess in a school at Seaforth, waiting for the arrival of the 8 p.m. train from that station to Liverpool. It was rather stormy at the time, and on the arrival of the train a great many passengers rushed to obtain seats. Mr. Ramnett, who is upwards of 80 years of ago, was also endeavouring to obtain a seat, and was getting into a carriage when the train began to move off, when he Jet go the handle of the carriage door, and, with his niece, who had hold of his arm at the time, was dragged under the carriages, and both were instantaneously killed.
