ONE r SHILLING. conqueror of continental Europe is acknow ledged as both " EMPEROR, and KING" by the Governments of all the countries of Christendom. Let not the oiium of these paltry ani mosities infect oar contamporalles, in these letter days, in reference to the descendant of the Empror and King NAPOLEON. France b-i surely es much right to create for herself a President, as Prussia a King, as Turkey a Sult9n, es AnStiia an Ea l.• peror, as Persia a Schab, as Tartary a Khac, or as Montenegro a Vladika. A snow-ball incr eases as it rolls along, and so does our Indian Empire. During the last century our territory there has been gradually in course of aug mentation. Lord CLIVE, in self-defence, was com pelled to commence the system of annexation. The native Princes were angry, and not without c ause, a t the encroachments of the British, and had recourse to arms to resist them. Vain efforts of native nationality, and numbers over European civili zation and discipline. Kingdom after kingdom suc cumbed, and became a British province. Where we did not conquer by actual force of arms, we pre vailed by policy. Some Asiatic rulers, seeing how resistless was the might of British arms and wisdom, sought safety by placing themselves and their terri tories under British protection. They speedily lost even the shado w of independence. Gradually they became insignificant—havin g the trappings without the actual power of Royalty. Their Ministers rarely proved faithful. heir subjects soon saw that the name of dominion was all that remained with them. The once. dreaded Satraps dwindled down into British pen sionaries. At lest, descending lower in the scale, they lost even their nominal dignities—sometimes selling them for an annual income, sometimes corn. piled to abandon them, to secure personal safety. Whoever the Viceroy—whether CLIVE, or WARREN HASTINGS, or CORNWALLIS, or WELLESLEY, or AMFIERST, or ELLENBOROUGH, Or HARDINGE, or DAanousie—it appears CS if it were inevitable that the British empire in India must be increased. Per petual attacks against it have led to constant aug mentation of our possesions. The most pacific Go vernor-General was compelled to take the field when attacked, and victory rendered it necessa ry to confis cate the possessions of the insurgent enemy. In Indi a , if we would, we could not remain 'without constantly becoming more and more powerful, The Burmese war will eventuate, sooner or later, in the annexation of another kingdom to an already extraordinary empire in India. This may t a k e p l ace almost immediately, cr it may be retarded for some years. But, sooner or later, the Burman Empire will become a portion of British India. The war which is now raging is wholly defensive on our part —we did not provoke it ; but, being wronged, we were coin- There are certain common decencies of expression pelled to have resort to arms.

We have lately had a few brilliant exceptions, but the general practice, from WED LESLEY to ELLENDOROUGII, has been as we state. Even as we w Ate our attention has been drawn to a letter from SADUT KHAN, the chief of the Momund chiefs (on the north-west frontier) to the Commis sioners at Peshawer, which energetically embodies the causes of complaint by the natives against the British rulers of India. It says—" You have de prived us of those lands in the Dueo be which we looked upon as our life—the sinews by which we are enabled to exist; these you have wantonly taken from us, neither can you plead aught in justification of your conduct. You know that we have held these grants rent fre s f rom t i me immemorial, and that in gratitude for th e pr i v i leges we enjoyed, we lived in perfect amity w ith our more potent neighbours, the former rulers of this caun'ry. You were the first to burden U 3 with heavy fi xes , and when we found our selves unable to pay these, you attacked and expelled us from our very birthright ! Was this consistent with the justice end liberality of that glorious Go vernment of which you boast being a member ? Was it in keepfng with the honour and dignity of so great and powerful a neion es you are ? You are a great and mighty people —we a bond of poor hill people. By placing yourselves on a level with us, you lose much of that lustre which adorns your name. As for ourselves, since you are determined to force us to die of starvation, we have adopted the more manly method of dying with our swords in our hands." There is true eloquence as well as deep pathos in this, and the aggravation is that it is true. It is such a declaration as an antique Roman might have made in like circumstances — bold yet sad, complaining 'yet dignified, resigned yet heroic. 'Whatever changes may be made on the renewal of the Charter, or in the Government of India, nobody can doubt the propriety--the necessity of admitting well-qualified natives into the public offices there. If well qualified, by education, there is no reeson why a well-educated native, w ith good character, should not be admitted into situations, in India, now filled by British subjects. There is no reason why such a mar k o f i n f er i ority, as exclusion from employment, should b 3 branded upon the na tives.

Th ey are determined to ha ve th e i r c l a i ms, their wants , their deprivations fai r ly an d f u ll y brought before t h e Bri tish people and th e B r i t i s h Legislature; an d th ey can make out a very strong case, indeed, against the present system of mai-government in Hindustan SPAIN have either of them been elevated to their august position, firstly, by nearly 6 ,000,000, and secondly, by nearly 8,000,000 of free citizens, speaking by the ballot and universal suffrage —as has been the case with the French PRESIDENT. No. If Louis NAPOLEON has committed errors —reprobate them. If he has been guilty of faults—denounce them. If he has p e rp e t ra t e d any heinous crime against the law of nations or against the liberties of France—proclaim their atro city upon every possible occasion, and do so (in GOD'S name) in language of the most bitter and the most profound indignation. But don't twaddle everlastingly about " Monsieur BONAPARTE " as though the mere name (surely, a glorious name enough in the world's history !) were a brand and an accusation ! It is the sad old story over again. It is the same ignorant spirit of intolerance that set the world in flames at the beginning of the nineteenth cen tury. At that period a prtion of the London newspapers were raving against the " Corsica'n Usurper." Another portion is now with the same dogged pertinacity raving against " Monsieur BONA PARTE." To talk thus violently and: intern perately, and yet to babble about the main. tenance of peace between the two coun. tries, is th e s h eeres t ferce imaginable. Why, these opprobrious assailants themselves are the real engenderers o f that very ill-feeling against which th ey pretend to declaim with so much solicitude. T o relations at ios the with same time to be always abusing the PRINCE PRESIDEN T b y the LouisNdrAeramoLoEfoN,s Government, preserving amicable and atn yet most coarse invectives, and the most scurrilous per sonalities, is about as rational as to expect to re tain the friendship of a man at the very moment you are pelting him with mud and treating him with the most studied indignities. N o . Again we say—Whatever LOUIS NAPOLEON h as done deserving reprobation, reprobate—but do not disgrace the English Press by these mean and paltry gibes against "Monsieur BONA. rAltrE." The " great people of England "—as Mr. AIACAULAY has termed them more than once —are surely not such poor little children as to be carried away in fe e li ng by these paltry and disgrace ful violations of the commonest rules of decorum. France has of her own free will selected the Prince Louis NAPOLEO N as the chief magistrate of her Re publican Institutions. She has done this through the Ballot. She has done this through Universal Suffrage. She has done this by nearly 6,000,000, and afterwards by nearly 8,000,000 of the votes of free citizens. It is absurd therefore, in an English newspaper, to talk of the Potentate thus invested with the dignity of the popular franchise— as absurd as it would be (we repeat) for a Portuguese newspaper to talk of the Emperor of RUSSIA as Mr. NICHOLAS ! England pos sesses already the disgrace of having insulted the great NAPOLEON by recognising him rs simply "General BONAPARTE" during the period of his cap tivity in St. Helena. Now-a-days —we believe—the - -- __ ---- TIM PORTUGUESE MINISTRY.—We mentioned, some days ago, that Viscount .A LMEYDA., the Foreign Minister i n th e P ortuguese Government—who was strongly impressed with a regar d f or England and a desire to preserve fr,:o and liberal principles in Portugal —had resigned office.

It cer t a i n l y is very " late news" to tell the public on Saturday what The Sun had announced on the previous Thursday. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. Nine more votes of the Councils-General appear in the Aroniteur. They differ in the form of expression, but the same thought pervades them all, and four are conceived in the strongest terms. These are the de partments of the Aisne, Lot-et-Garonne, Tarn-et- Garonne, and Haute-Vienne. The superior importance attaching to the Councils- General has directed attention more especially upon them ; nevertheless every day brings in its quota of the votes adopted hp the Councils of Arrondissement before the close of their short session. The arrondisse ment of Blaye, which appears in the Moniteur of yes terday morning, says—" Our concurrence and devo tion will not fail you, in committing to your hands, in an irrevocable form, the temporary power which the nation has confided to you." Tres Assernblee Nationale has the following on the resolutions come to by the Councils-Gener a l : " We et present are acqua'nted by the Moniteur with the result of the u'eliherat;ona of fifty-two councils general on what may be called without fear the ques tion on the order of the day. The wishes which they express, if they differ in form, are at bottom the same. We have no desire to conceal it; and if we have hitherto confined ourselves to a summary mention of those deli berations, it is not that which elite', or astonishes us, as the election of the Ist and Bth of August had pre pared us for them. Thus, come of them, and that th© greatest number, risk for seability to be given to our in stitutions, and the government to be consolidated and perpetwe2d; others pronounce formally in favour of the re-establishment of the Empire, and for the defini tive consolidation of the power in the hands of the heir of the Emperor; others, again, without asking di rectly for any moditieation in the present regime, ex press their gratitude for the past, and their devoted ness for the future, in terms which leave no doubt as to their disposition, On ce more, w e say that there are but shades of difference, the groundwork being the same." The Pays, in its anxiety to eulogize the Govern ment for the concession of the Bordeaux to Cette Railway, has discovered that it will shorten by three months the journey to India; and the Univers, in an article on the effect that war would probably produce on the relations between France and Belgium, has a still more important announcement—viz., that, by sounding the bank at the mouth of the Thames, the longitude may be discovered ! The writer has only to put in his claim upon the English Government for the discovery of the longitude to be well rewarded for the pains that he has taken to arrive at this knowledge. The Board of Admiralty will readily forgive the alarm that he must have excited in it by the picture that he draws of the facilities for putting an end to the naval supremacy of England, in its appreciation of the value to the world at large of the simple means of asoer'saining the longitude, in drooping a line with a lead attached to it, on the bank at tee mouth of the Thames. The following are the remarks of the Moniteur on the healing article of the Times in its number of Saturday last : " We have had several times cccesion to remark the malevolence towards the French Government of certain articles in the English journe Is. We remained silent as long as they only attache I persons, but at present the ant ;re nation is attacker, end it becomes a duty to reply. the Times has devoted a long elide in one of its Fist numbers to acearms'ate insult upon France. It comperes it to the Bss-Empire, and condemns it to eteinel infamy. If the Times was the organ of a nation, ours might be affected by its attache, bat that paper, the passionate interpreter of hosi Ile parties since the 2d of December, merely represents an interested opps sition; what credit consequently, is to be given to its opinions? What right is there to endure teem? Who, in fact, could be lieve, as the Times dares to pretend, that we 870 disin herited of all our rights, and that political life exists no longer for us? Universal suffrage in France is the melt unlimited exercise of the power of election for a nation. We have said that the Times, i - i our eyes, is not the organ of the nation in the name of which it would pretend to speak, Far from us, therefore, to re criminate against the English institutions ; but could not others, loss well uisposed. do so ? Could not they ask the Times whether England can oppose to the tranquillity end good order of our universal suffrage its limited suffrage and its elections accom plished in the midst of all the scandals of disgraceful jobbery? Could it not be said to the Times that in Eng. land seats in Parliament belong almost always to the richest —that in France they are free to all without dis tinction ,• that there fortune decides—that here the People choose ; that with us everything is the expression savour s of th e i Pe ople ch oose; will; that the Chief of the_ State, the 00 4 6 1- eistator, tho Councils-General of Departments, striction of ri electoit of .Arrondissement, Municipal Councils, all are ot h er ' si ' d y e otbr ti liniversality of the ci zens—that on the cnChannel, on the contrary, everything first essay ,4,squality of . fortunes Ea well as the re system which conatPipticyeal3 The Tunes tatty, if it please, call this most unbounded liberty infamy ; but ef :the h Le . tehaelter ma aelt of. does it select oment to draw vanity from a Mentlar?chleThloef voting and to the demand etch(' apprehension of ontqhueestslood jothe substitution of public t voting in place of public elect' 83.

It is the same in terms rs that signed fifteen months ago by Hanover and France,. The King and Queen of SWEDEN arrived at Ulm on the 22d. A lettor from that place states, that during the journey of their MAJESTIES from Munich to Augsburg, by the reilroad, there was a collision of two trains, and that an aide-de-camp of the KING was seriously wounded.

The following are, according to the Independance of Brussels, the reductions in duties which have been consented to by the convention of the 22d inst. on articles connected with typography :—Belgian books which now pay in France a duty of 107 f. 50c. and 1601. the 100 kilos, according to their nature, will only pay 20f. White paper, now subjected by the French tariff to a duty of 160 f., will be charged 25f. ; the same duty will be charged on coloured and mo rocco papers, which now pay 861. 50c. and 97f., ac cording to quality. On engravings and lithographic prints, engraved music and geographical maps, the duty is reduced from 317 f. 50c. to 20f. The duty on printing-types imported from Belgium is reduced from 2121. 503. to 30f., and that on printing-ink from 65f. 50c. to 25f. In the Belgian tariff, the duty on books, which is now 311. 80c. is reduced to 10f. The duties on paper, and the other articles above mentioned remain almost unchanged, except as regards printing type, on which the duty is lowered from 25f. to 151. ; but for these different articles the duty, instead of being charged al valorem, will be by weight. In addition to the stipulations relative to artistic and literary pro perty and typographical industry, the Convention of the 22d grants reductions of duties in favour of seve ral Belgian productions. The duty on hops, which now pay 75f. the 100 kilos, is reduced about 50 per cent.; cotounettes and pantaloon stuffs, which are now kept out of the French markets, will be henceforth admitted on payment of a d u t y o f 25 per cent.

CONTINENTAL ELECTRIC TELEGRAPIIS.---We read in the S avoy G aze tt e that the electric telegraph Which con nects London with Paris, and w hich will soon co nnect it with Lyons, Chambery, Turin, and Genoa, is to be prolonged to La Spezzia by the Sardinian Government. From that port, th e Submarine Company, it is said, is to sink an electric cable t , the Island of Gor on and f rom thence another to Bastia. The French Government will then continue the line by lam: at its own expense to Ajaccio, and the narrowest point of the Straits of Bonifacio, w here a cable, 14 kilometres in l etigth, will, at the exp ense of the company , establish a co mmunica tion with Sardi n i a , w hich the Piedniontese Governme nt will continue to Cagliari. But M.

By this means Algiers would be brought within a few seconds of Paris, and news from India might reach London in little more than a week.

The Ocean of Brest states that orders have been received for the application of the steam-screw pro peller to seven vessels which are luilding in that dock. yard. By decree of the PRINCE -PRESIDENT of the Re public a school of medicine and pharmacy has been created at Lille.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 were taken for export and on speculation. The market closed steadily. Railway Shares were dull at lower prices. The employment obtained for the assets of the Bank of England had not increased, if we may judge by the weekly return to the 21st inst., when the discounts and loans, as represented by the item " Other Securities," both exhibited a falling off, but the diminution of the Active Note circulation is not attributable to this, inas much as the public deposits ePe steadily accumulating and counterbalanr3 the reduction of private balances. The bullion wes rather smaller in amount.

In the very interesting report for the year 1851 upon the state of the British Fisheries, the Commissioners, besides the usual statistics, offer some important sug gestions as to the necessity of endeavouring to obtain extended markets. They tell us that— "lt may b e ' assumed that the consumpt i on of cured herrings in the British Isles has reached its maximum. The transmission of fresh fish by means of railroad, the general fall in the prices of all kinds of food, and the re duction of duty upon the import of foreign articles of pro vision, have an undoubted tendency to lessen the con sumption of cured fish among our labouring popula tion; the coldness of the climate, the long hours of work, the severity of the physical labour to be endured, will always direct our population to the perchese of the most nourishing description of food that their means will procure them. Accordingly, it is found that neither in Great Britain, nor in Ireland, is the demand for cured herrings, taken over a period of years, at all what it used to be, and that the continent has become the only outlet for this staple of Scottish produce. It is impos sible, however, to see without profound regret, that the supplies which are wanted on the continent, which would naturally flow there, and which would then give an impetus to mutual commerce on the most profitable basis to the exchanging nations, are interrupted and suppressed by high prohibitory duties among the Con tinental States, artificially maintained to check trade, and calculated to foster national animosities and jealou sies. There are large communities on the continent where a barrel of herrings would be much preferred to any other food that could be presented to them within the reach of their circumstances. There are periods of the year, such as Lent, when in many countries they would be largely consumed, not merely a s a de licacy, but for ordinary subsistence, and it may almost be doubted whether, it the restrictions r e f erred to were removed, the coasts of Scotland would be able to supply the immense demand that would arise. It is certain that Scotch herrings would obtain a preference in every market where they could be procured, from the excel lence of the cure, the full quantity given with the barrel, and the moderate price at which they can be supplied. I t i s well deserving the consideration of the British Go vernment, and of all who may have influence with foreign states, to promote a reduction of these oppressive duties. "In the Boats Account the number of boats employed in the fisheries in 1851 was 10,914, being an increase over the number employed in 1850 of 434 boats. There wa s also an increase in the number of persons employed, of 1,967, the relative numbers being, in 1850 68,939 per sona, and in 1851 70,906 persons. The addition to the number of boats employed is one that may give rise to much satisfaction. The boats are everywhere now much larger than they were formerly taking more material to construct, more ability to plan, and more time and capital to complete. There is, therefore, a very consi derable development of national employment in the re turn that shows the number of boats in use, absorbing much of the extra population in skilled labour of the most valuable ki n d ; and it must behighly gratifying to e a maritime country t o b e assured of an extension o f these, row _ and to pe rce i ve an augmenting number of trained cat with the to our national coasts, and converse the various tides, marks, and inlets." The Com m i ss i oners very properly re f er also in their report to th e i mportance of increas i ng t h e num ber of life boats off the coast.
