STAMPED The Monroe Doctrine. business in Mexico, in the first place ; but, as the case stands, people are more disposed to mock when his fear cometh. But assuming that the French troops are to remain in Mexico in obedience to their royal master, the question naturally arises, What will be the consequences ? The last Congress of the United States passed unanimously a reso lution to expel MAXIMILIAN, but Mr. LINCOLN, with his usual good sense, said—" One war at a time, boys : lets wait till we get through the war for tho.preservation of the Union, and then we'll see what can be done for the poor Mexicans." Well, the war for the Union is now happily over, but the feeling in America against MAXIMILIAN has not abated one iota; on the contrary, it has been intensi fied since the termination of the late war. And that the present Congress will re-pass the Mexican resolutions of last winter I have not the shadow of a doubt. Then war is inevitable ; for President JOHNSON is, and always has keen, as firm a believer in the Munroe doctrine as any statesman alive, and MAXIMILIAN will have to go. But it is said the Southern States, in the event of a foreign war, would re volt again. I know something of the sentiments of the Southern people, and I undertake to say that in no part of America would a war with France be more popular than in the late Confederate States. The South had reason to expect aid and recognition from NAPOLEON in her late struggle: she got neither ; and nothing would suit the fiery temper of the Southern people bettor than to revenge herself on France for this treatment.

But, as there appears to be some misunderstanding in Europe as to the precise nature of the MONROE doctrine as applied to the American continent, as well as surprise at the tenacity which the Yankees, who have the reputation of being sopractical a people, cling to an idea, and even seem willing to go to war to vindicate that idea, I will endeavor to givesome reasons for this strong current of national feel ing. For the last two hundred years the diplomacy of Europe has been a perfect network of public or private treaties Monarchy after monarchy has arisen or fallen through the signing of a treaty. Until very recently the "balance of power" was the great cause of all the wars in which Europe has been embroiled for centuries. The twenty-five years' war, following the French Revolution, was participated in by England for the sole reason that she feared the first NAPOLEON, and not in self-defence, or for the redress of , ry , or renburi i n to the ►n.

He was well known in the United States as a prominent member of the last four Congresses, as an eloquent orator, and a staunch and fearless defender of freedom. He acted in Congress as a member of the Committee of Ways and Means, and as Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. The positivenesss of his convictions and his ardent tempera ment sometimes unfitted him for co-operating with those who esteemed themselves Ins friends; but he did good and emancipation in Mary land, to advocate their cause. se r service c e i n t d a o t y h s e w c a h u e s n e of wasfl oy a p l et perilous His marked abilities were recognised alike by his friends and his opponents. He was born in Annapolis in 1817, and was educated at Hampden Sydney College. In 1852 he published a book entitled •" The War of Ormuzd and Ahrinam in the Nineteenth Century." DEATH OF MR. GERARD HALLOCK. Mr. Gerard Hallock, the veteran editor of the New York Journal of Commerce, one of the most respected and enter prising journalist., died in that city, at New Haven,:Conn., on January 4. One of the - kindest-hearted men, generous to a fault, fond of doing good, Mr. Hallock was ever the suggester and promoter of benevolence. His long life was devoted to enterprises in the right direction, and while differences in political and ecclesiastical points may have at times led him into discussion with his fellows, his purity of life and general bearing of charity towards all were the notable features of his existence. He was born in Plainfield, Mass., March 18, 1800. He graduated at Amherst College in 1819, and established in 1824 the Boston Telegraph, a weekly journal, which he united with the Boston Recorder in 1825. He became half proprietor of the New York Observer in 1827, and in partnership with David Hale became proprietor of the New York Journal of Commerce in 1828, which paper - he has continued to con duct until the present time. any grievances at all. And though the principle of non intervention has gained much ;ground with the great Powers of Europe during the last few years, it is far from being the settled policy of those Powers even now. The late Crimean war, the universal feeling of indignation expressed at the recent conduct of Austria and Prussia with little Denmark, and the close scrutiny with which every move of the Emperor of the French is watched * is proof of this. Indeed all the great Sovereigns of Europe at, this hour sleep with their hands upon their guns, knowing not what moment they may be called upon to wage a war for the balance of power—for the fulfilment of some "Holy Alliance," or for some private treaty. America has ever kept signally aloof from all the broils and struggles growing out of these treaties and alliances, and has never in any way, directly or indirectly, interfered with the affairs of any European country. Had the am bition for power and prestige by the Emperors and Kings of the Old World been confined to their •own continent there never would have been such a principle enunciated as that known as the Mosnoz doctrine. But during the early part of the present century, so grasping was Spain that, not content with her already large possessions in the New World, she rode rough-shod over several of the small republics of South America, and did then what she is trying to do now in Chili, force the weaker Govern ments to succumb to her outrages and demands. And when the United States, in 1820, from the purest motives of humanity and disinterested sympathy that ever actuated any nation, proposed to England a treaty whereby those two great Powers should throw the mantle of their protec- , tion over the struggling Governments on the western con tinents, as a matter of simple justice, England's Foreign Minister eagerly accepted the terms of that treaty, and England and the United States shook hands through their Ministers —Mr. CANNING and Mr. Rum—over the great prin ciples—the protection of civil and religious liberty contained in that treaty, which treaty is nothing more nor less than the Monroe doctrine, called by this name because it was inaugurated under the administration of JAMES MosnoE, who was then President of the United 'States. The sub stance of this treaty can be stated in a single sentence—it does not, as many erroneously supposed, pr event the establishment on American soil of an Empire or any other species of strong Government, provided the people are consulted in the matter. It simply declares that no foreign Prince nor Potentate shall force a Govern ment upon any people on that continent against the people's wishes. The United States does not and never has pro fessed to dictate to any of her sister countries what form of government they shall have. She only asks that they be allowed to have a free choice in their selection of the Government that is to rule over them. Now, can anybody say that this is not fair, just, and honest ? Is there any assumption, or injustice, or unnecessary interference in these cherished sentiments of the American people ? Manifestly not. I know the maxim applied to individuals or nations, "Mind your own business," is a good one ; but there are times when it is a man's business to interfere. When a strong man sees a brother, especially if he be a weaker brother, knocked down or robbed by a ruffian, he would be a creature whom it would be the basest flattery to call a coward did he not come to the rescue and seek to relieve the suffering. Mexico is the weaker brother of the United States. A Usurper has been forced by foreign bayonets on her people. A Usurper, who has characterised his reign by plunder, I!_y unprece-_ dented extr.v. 1 ,—...., oy - tne - setting aside in his deal lea, with the Mexicans all the rules of civilised warfare, and by his bloody decrees of extermination of all prisoners rL.k&e,:easslg...ka a_pameAvhich_will live in hispiry Poor Mexico ! bleeding at every pore, panting for poaco and security, and groaning under the oppressions of the merciless tool of the French EMPEROR, reaches out her hands, for aid to her old friend and neighbor the United States. And the United States would be false to her history, false to the treaty of 1820 and false to the genius of her institutions, to the spirit of liberty, did she refuse support to Mexico in this her time of need. But there are other reasons why the people of America feel so deeply sensitive on this Mexican question. They say that the invasion of Mexico and the placing of MAXIMILIAN on the throne there was a part of the late rebellion, that nothing of the kind would have been thought of had not the United States been engaged in a terrible life-and-death struggle—that NAPOLEON 111. took a mean advantage of us, and walked into Mexico through the back-door of our weakness, and that the rebellion will not have been fully crushed till MAXINIILIAN is driven out. These views are hold by Generals GRANT, SHERMAN, and SHERIDAN, and many other of the first men in America. Indeed the reason for the Emperor of the FRENCH going to America was so clearly defined in his celebrated letter to General FORRET, viz : " to extend the Latin race, and thereby check the advancing power and growth of Republicanism on the American Continent," that it is useless to argue them. And the whole press in England and throughout Europe unfriendly to the United States (and nearly the whole press was so till the surrender of Genekal Lee), boasted of the fact, and glorified themselves over it, and were never weary in telling the American people that the expedition which placed MAX in Mexico was an insult to them—that it was meant to be an insult by its great pro jector (as it unquestionably was)—and in taunting them again and again over it. It is really marvelloushow these newspapers have changed their tone since the col lapse of the rebellion. Now, the expedition was only, it was said, to "collect a few debts," only a little harmless affair, in which the United St a t e s were asked to join " etc., etc." But the Americans are a sensitive people, and despit2 all the good feeling which, till recently, has always existed between them and France, they can never forget the course of France when she deliberately, knowingly, and maliciously violated the MONROE doctrine. But says the Emperor, through his Foreign Secretary, to Mr. SEWARD, " We are willing:to withdraw our troops, but we want some guarantee from you as to your future conduct towards MAXIMILIAN." Ah, but, Mr. Emperor, you did'nt ask your guarantee when you placed him there. Why be so particular about guarantees now ? And what business is it to France whether we recognise MAXIMILIAN or not? Are not the States the best judges of the matter? And have they yet asked for any instruc tion from NAPOLEON as to the course they shall pursue on the Mexican question ? No ; yet he assumes to dictate to them by urging them to recognise MAXIMILIAN, as if every nation had not the right to regulate its own diplomacy. But, says the EMPEROR, in his Speech last Monday, "the United States were invited to join us in the expedi tion," which planted Imperialism in Mexico, as if that was any reason for our non-interference at the present time. Yes, Mr. Lino's was invited to take part in that unholy crusade ; but he spurned the offer, and earnestly protested, in the name of the American people, against the occupation of Mexico by the French. As well might mid night robbers ask the clemency of the Lord Mayor of Lon don, when brought up for trial, on the ground that they invited said Lord Mayor to join them in their plundering schemes, as for France to seriously plead this absurd invitation as a bar to American interference. And to cap the climax, the EMPEROR dwells on his belief in a SUPREME BEING, which fact the world will be intensely interested in hearing—and says that "America will be appeased by the frankness of our declarations." What declarations? Surely the EMPEROR must have meant this for a joke. I look in vain through his whole speech for any declarations at all on the subject of Mexico, further than that he, the EMPEROR, "is arriving at an agreement with MAXIMILIAN, whereby the time will be fixed for the withdrawal of the French troops." Arriving at an agreement—but it may take twenty years to make that agreement—and then the time " fixed" may be twenty years more. And those aro the declarations of which he boasts. But when we Atnerieans were engaged in a great war NAPOLEON did not use to talk in this evasive way about Mexico; but it is evident something troubles his conscience now, as it has not beeetroubled before — "When the Devil got sick, A monk was he ; But when the Devil got well, The devil a monk was he." The EMPEROR feels that he is in a very critical position. He evidently thinks to retire from Mexice now, after the spicy correspondence which has passed between his Government and the United States, it would be looked upon as disgraceful and cowardly; and, on the other hand, to remain there is to incur in all probability a war with the United States. Like the man who was holding on with both hands to a bear's tail, it won't do to let go, nor it won't do to hold on. NAPOLEON would really be entitled to some sympathy in his present delicate and dangerous position if he had any Besides, what would the Southern States gain by rebel ling again ? If the late war has taught us anything, it has shown that two Governments cannot exist on the territory of the United States, and that any section, however strong, cannot resist successfully the overwhelming power of at once the freest and strongest Government in the world. No, should such a war break out, the Southern States would be the first to respond, all past quarrels would be forgotten, Generals LEE and JOHNSTON would be given commands alongside GRANT anil SHERMAN, and united as one man they would drown in the sea of oblivion all by-gone differences, and think of nothing and fight for nothing but the dignity and honor of the re-united States of America. And so far from fearing or dreading such a war, I believe President JOHNSON thinks that nothing would hasten re-construction so soon, or cement the Union more firmly, than a war for Mexico ht the present time. The South, by her valor on new battle-fields in defence of the old flag, would win for herself a place more honorable than she has ever yet held in the family of States. But men say America has a largo debt ! Has Prance no debt ? America's finances are in quite as healthy a condition as those of Franco, while her resources aro infinitely greater. France has no gold or silver mines, nor cotton-fields, nor rich prairies, nor coal, nor petroleum, all which America possesses in inexhaustible quantities. The United States having just come out of a great war, in which were enlisted at the North and South over 3,000,000 men—a greater number than England, France, and Russia put together, ever raised inono war—is in a better petition to protect her honor than she has over been before. Secre tary STANTON reports that ho has on hand army stores enough to last three years ; while the navy reports a greater number of ironclads and gunboats than the com bined navy of France and England together. Again, France in a war with America would labor under the great disadvantage of having to fight 5,000 miles away from home, and in American waters. If it be said we have no army left, having mustered out 800,000 men since last July, letbut General GRANT sound the cry," To arms!" and, as if by magic, that whole great army, with as many more recruits, if necessary, would rally to the rescue instantly. If it be said American soldiers are not equal to French soldiers, I point them to a hundred blood-soaked battle fields, and say—that not at Marathon, not at Thermopylae, not at Waterloo, when the Old Guard marched into the jaws of death; and perished rather than surrender, was displayed more of true heroism, more sublime courage than was displayed at Antietam, at Gettysburg, at Chanchellors vine, and at the battle of the Wilderness. Unquestionably the great mass of the American people would regret another war at the present time,"or rather they would regret the necessity for it. The policy of the United States is peace, but not a dishonourable peace ; and there is not a man or woman that has an American heart but would rather endure poverty, taxation, and loss of friends for forty years than submit to a national insult, or the violations by a foreign power of their most cherished principles—the principles enunciated by JAMES MONROE. Of course, we as Americans should prefer that "the nephew of his uncle" should withdraw his troops ; and h.ux , An_art_mtcs. MAIL' is in my mind only a question of time. The first Napoleon, when In the very. zenith of his glory, sat on hie horse one bright morning in front of his great ar m y, an d f or th e first I rcut‘r he rose up in his stirrups, and cried " Behold the city , of Moscow—it was time." The NAPOLEON of our day I would do a wise thing if—standing as he does on the high pedestal reared to the first min of Europe—lie I should proclaim to the world, " Behold the evacuation of Mexico —it was time." Naval and Military Intelligence. The iron-cased frigate Royal Alfred, 18, 4,045 tons, 800-horse power, got up steam and worked her machinery yesterday alongside Portsmouth Dock yard. To-day slle will make a preliminary con tractors' trial of her machinery off Spithead, in readiness for her trial at light draught of water over the measured mile in Stokes Bay. The Conqueror, screw line of battle ship, 2,845 tons, 500-horse power, Capt. W. G. Luard, arrived at Spithead at 3 p.m. yesterday, from China, and on anchoring exchanged salutes with the Victory, the flagship in Portsmouth-harbour of Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, G.C.8., the Admiral Command ing-in-Chief of the port and district. The Con queror has brought to England the battalion of Royal Marine Light Infantry that has recently been on special service in Japan, and a number of in valids, naval and military. The Royal Marine bat talion embarked for service in Japan at Plymouth in December, 1863, under the command of Lieut.- Col. Suther, and arrived off Yokohama, Japan, in June, 1864, where it landed and encamped. In the following August the battalion re-embarked in the Conqueror, and proceeded with the allied fleets to the inland sea, where it was present at the bombardment of the enemy's batteries at Simonasaki on the stll of September, 1864. On the following day, the bat talion was landed under the command of Lieut.-Col. Penrose as part of the allied force placed under the command of Lieut.-Col. Suther, R.M.L.I, (Lieut.- Col. Adair, third Lieut.-Col. of the Royal Marine forc . e, commanding the second battalion under Col. Suther on the occasion), and participated in the destruction of the forts and storming of the stock ades. In October the battalion arrived at Yoko hama, where it was disembarked, and formed part of the garrison of that place until August, 1865, when it was re-embarked in the Conqueror, and left for England under the Command of Lieut.- Colonel Penrose, its late comm andin g officer, Col. Suther, C. 8., having previou sl y obtained leave to proceed to England. On the passage from Yoko hama to Hongkong, the Co n q ueror ex p erien ced a terrific typhoon, to repair th e dama g e inflicted by which a stay of three week s was necessar y at the last-named port. The battalion has bro ug ht to England as its " lawful pr ize of war " two brass field-pieces captured in the a ttack on th e stockade at Simonosaki. Having left behind in China and Japan about 100 volunteers, the present strength of the battalion is 26 officers, th ree staff - sergeants, 25 sergeants, and 350 rank and fil e. The Legati on guard of Royal Marines, who hav e been in Japan, since March, 1863, for the protection of he r Ma jesty's Minister and the Legation, have also re turned to England with the battalion in the Con queror. His Netherland Majesty's screw steamer the Watergeus (6 guns), Commander Escher, which put into Falmouth with partial damage and short of fuel on the 30th of December, resumed her voyage to Java from that port on Saturday morning, after repairing and coaling. The spring half-yearly changes of quarters of the Foot Guards will take place on the Ist of March. They are as follows :—Grenadier Guards. —lst bat talion from Wellington Barracks (the head-quarters) to St. George's Barracks, and a detachment to Chelsea Barracks ; 2d battalion, from Windsor to Chelsea Barracks ; 3d battalion, from St. George's and Chelsea Barracks to Windsor. Coldstream Guards.-Ist battalion from Chelsea Barracks (the head-quarters) to Wellington Barracks, with de tachments to Kensington Magazine and Bucking ham Palace Barracks ; 2d battalion from the Tower to Shorncliffe Camp. Scots Fusilier Guards.—lst battalion, from the," old wing" of. the Wellingtqn Barracks, Kensington Magazine, and Buckingham The Nightingale Fund. The report of the council for the year ending June, 1865, has been published :—At the date of the last report there were nine probationers still under training at St. Thomas's Hospital ; in the course of the year 23 new probationers were entered. Out of these eleven completed their course satisfactorily, at or before the end of the year, one was disquali fied and left, five were dismissed, and one died in the hospital, thus leaving 14 under training on the 24th June last. In the month of May last, a staff of 12 nurses, under the charge of Miss Agnes Jones, as head, all being former probationers, entered into service in the Liverpool workhouse infirmary, in order to commence a new system of nursing initiated by the guardians, by which, if successful, the work house infirmary, containing GOO beds, is to be placed under trained in lieu of pauper nurses, and the accounts since received express great satisfaction with the result thus far. This is the second party of nurses who have gone to Liverpool ; the first party having been engaged as training nurses to the Liverpool Training School, in connection with the Royal Infirmary. Another point to be remarked upon with satisfaction is the number of former probationers now holding appointments— viz., two as lady superintendents, at a salary of £lOO and £7O respectively; four as matrons of small hospitals, at £7O, £5O, £45, and £4O respectively ; one as superintendent, at £44, and one as sister, at £5O. The salaries of the nurses range from £2O to £3O, lodging, full board, and washing being in all cases provided. In the course of the past year numerous applications have been received for assist ance in establishing nurses' training institutions and homes, and the committee trust that a few words on this subject explanatory of the results which have been derived from experience may not be out of place. The demand for trained nurses has ne3essa.- iily created also a demand for educated and properly trained superintendents. This would seem to afford an employment peculiarly adapted to many women of education who are vainly seeking it in other less congenial quarters. They must not, however, ex pect to fulfil the required duties satisfactorily unless qualified by having passed througli-the same eourse of training as the nurses whom they arv , ---- 7, -.,- N Axing rtYx Lilt x tal.a.lfin fithi multi , viintrzase the num ber of probationers to be trained as hospital nurses at St. Thomas's, and in that case they will be pre pared to receive a certain number on payment of a part of the expenses incurred. Some misconception exists as to the object and plan of the scheme which is in operation at King's College Hospital, under the direction of the Council of St. John's 'louse. The object, as stated in the regulations, is to train midwives, or midwifery nurses, to be employed ex clusively among the poor, under the direction of the medical men. The women who are to be trained must be selected and engaged (subject to the ap proval of the Lady Superior of St. John's House) by those persons who intend to employ them. The committee do not undertake to train nurses with out a definite engagement. While the applications for district or village nurses, ready trained, are numerous, but comparatively few of the appli cants arc prepared to comply with the regulations either from inability to find a suitable woman to be trained, or else from disinclination to fulfil the conditions with regard to the payment and employment of the nurse after she shall have been trained. Many persons also desire to have a sick nurse in preference to a " midwifery" nurse. Experience has proved the correctness of the view taken by Miss Nightingale, that, with the limited means at command, a greater benefit would be con ferred on the poor by affording a special training in ' the duties of a midwifery nurse than by a more general instruction. It is not, however, desired to restrict the nurse to midwifery, whenever, without interfering with a due attention to such cases, she m ay be usefully and prudently employed in cases of ordinary sickness. Attendance on feve r an d o th er infectious cases is obviously inadmissible. Acci dents, on the other hand, may usually be safely nursed. Many of the probationers have, with this view, passed several months in the accident and general wards after the completion of the assigned period of six months in the Maternity Ward. The committee have, from the first, required an under taking both from the nurse and those who send her to be trained that she shall be employed for a cer tain number of years solely among the poor. This has been found to be quite essential, having regard to the very expensive and valuable education the nurse has received, and to the great temptation to which she is frequently subjected to transfer her services to the rich. To give practical effect to this undertaking a guarantee is required from the em ployers that a nurse shall receive, either directly or by supplementing her earnings, a competent salary, or its equivalent. The amount must vary with cir cumstances. What is usually required for an expe rienced woman is a sum sufficient to provide com fortable board and lodging, and £2O a year. The salary might in some cases commence lower and rise by degrees. Fourteen nurses are now in active work and giving very great satisfaction. In con clusion, the committee trust to be in a position to state in the next report that arrangements havebeen completed with the governors of St. Thomas's Hos pital, under which the Training School for Hospital Nurses will be continued on an extended scale at the magnificent hospital about to be erected in Lam beth,' opposite the Houses of Parliament.
