A bill brought in by the Lord Chancellor for the as eh-Dilation of the mercantile law of the United Kingdom contains a clause abolishing the necessity for a written contract In the purchase and sale of goods. The measure will cnnie on for discussion after Easter, and it is parti cularly desirable that this part of it should be folly ue iterstood, since it mu-t have an important bearing on every mercantile transaction. According to the 17th section of the Statute of Frauds, no contract fer the sale o f goods of 101. or upwards is valid unless some note or memorandum in writieg of the bargsin be made and signed by the parties to ho charged by such contract or by their authorised agents. The act is a very old one, and, in the ()vision of a former Chancellor, every lire of it was " worth a subsidy." It has not applied to Scot land, in which country a verbal agreement is binding ; and in some parts of England, especially Manchester, i has been disregarded. In London Alias been looked upon with favour, and strictly adhered to. This discrepancy of custom being inherently objec!ionable, although it dose not appear to have been attended with s practical inconvenience as might have been anticipated, the Mercantile LAW Commission, in a report printed last rer, recommended that tt e enactment uheuld be re pealed, "and that the laws of. England and I•eland should in this respect be assimilated to the simpler rule o f the common law observed ill Scotland." On the theoretical propriety of effecting an assimilation of the law there can be r.o quesiiiin. The point is, slieuld the Scotch system be made to conform to that of England and Island, or should the process be of the opposite kind ? The chief ergument in favour of abolishing the prevision smile to consist in the in xpediency of making an inflexible rule in a matter which, without interfering with any moral principle, may be left to individual dis cretion. Those who cemider a written note of contract advantageous may still insist upon having it; but why, it is asked, shut out the possibility of parol testimony in cases where parties prefer the risk of dispensing with rue' a precaution In the absence of a written note juries would be entitled to require evidence of the most unimpeachable description before deciding in any given case that a contract had been completed ; but instances must sometimes occur in which persons through ignorance of the law enter into verbal agree ments, which could not be disputed without reckless dishonesty ; and it is contended that no enactment can have a salutary operation which precludes redress under such circumstances. Ori the otle r h end, the r axons f g the English practice possess considerable weight. The cases of error from ignorance of the law are mostly of an insignificant character, whereas the fact that the enormous tray sections of London, which affect the commerce of the entire world, have always been carried on under the existing system, and would, at least temporarily, be unsettled by any change in it, is a strong plee for demanding its continuance. At pre sent the broker who makes the contract which is to bind both parties sends the bought and sold note at once to each party respectively. If he has misunderstood or abused their instructions, the mischief is at once corrected ; but if no written evi dence be required, and the transaction rests on the verbal evidence of the broker, there is obviously an opening for much mischief " It may be said," observes a legal correspondent of great commercial experience, that this mischief will in time be corrected, and that if brokers are found to abuse the confidence of their em ployers they will cease to be employed, or will on all oc casions use written contracts ; but to arrive at this re sult you will have to go through a very doubtful expe riment, and probably much litigation." This diversity of opinion being prevalent., it is desirable that the atten tion of the merchants of London should be given to the suiject, and the object of the present remarks is to sug gest that' they should take some measures to ascertain the general feeling respecting it. . On the propriety of written contracts being always insisted upon practice there is not likely to be much difference of view among the prudent persons, and even if the expediency of .abo lishing the law by which they are made imperative should be a Imitted it is to be hoped that the custom, as a custom, will never be relaxed, and that juries willlearn to view with great suspicion any claim in which it way have been neglected.—Tinte3. The bar silver brought by the last West India mail was sold yesterday at 61d. per ounce, showing an ad vance of Mr. Heory Luard, the general manager of the Lon don and County Bulk, has resigned, and Mr. William M`Kewan, his deputy, has been provisionally appointee to succeed him. This change is stated to have no con nection with the recent death of Mr. Sadleir, whose se. eurities deposited with the bank, and which consisted of title decd;, have all been pronounced perfectly regular, after an eamninatiou instituted by Messrs.

For some days past the greatest possible trcitemeitt'has ,prevailed in the parish, in consequence! of the opposition offered to the re-election of Mr. Wes,- terton in the person of Mr. J. 11. Tuck, a florist an tl coal merchant, By the friends of Mr. Westerton it was alleged,that Mr." Tack's return would virtually put an end to the suit- now pending in which Mr. Wester Lon and Mr. Beal are the promoters, and the Hon. and RAI?. Roi,eft Liddell, M.A., the incumbent of St. Paul and St. Barnabas, is the defendant. On the other hand,' it 'was contended by Mr. Tuck's friends that Mr. Westlrton was unworthy of the confidence of the parishioners, as he bail proved himself disloyal to the queen, wad an enemy to the church of England. Such charges, ais well as many others of a minor character, were placarded about the district by both parties with the utmost perti nacity.. Ina few moments after the school-room doors were opened there was a tremendous rush. It is an up-t-tairs room, capable of holding about a couple of hundred per sons, and was soon filled. Some two or three , hundred ether persons remained outside, being unable to effect an admission. Oa its being put to the vote nn adjourn ment to the back yard of the school was carried by a large and anxious majority, who lost no tine in making their escape. _ As soon as the audience bad assembled, the "open air meeting" was commenced by the Him. and Rev. Mr. Liddell declaring himself ex officio in the chair. At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Gels, market gardener, presented his card and "little account" to the rector, and demanded payment of 131., balance of 161. due fee flowers furnished for the decoration of the church. He said be had received 31. •n account, but could not get the rest, and he wanted the money very badly. He had been represented as a pauper, but he never was a pauper in his life. Mr. LIDDELL—WeII, send in your account then. Mr. GELL I have sent it in. Mr. LIDDELL—If you disturb the business of the meeting I shall give you over to the care of a police. man. You are not a householder of this district. (" Shame," and hisses.) Mr. GELL— Never mind, you owe me the money. Mr. LIDDELL—If I owe you anything it shall be paid ; but I know nothing about it. The CHAIRMAN then stated the ohject of the meeting. It was usual, he said, to read the minutes of the pre vious meeting before commencing the business that called there together, but the minute-book was not forthcoming. Where it was he could not tell, for he had not had charge of it fur some time. He should no minate as a church-warden, on his own behalf, Mr. `William Jackson, of No. 50, Wilton-crescent, and then leave the ratepayers to exercise their own peculiar function, which was to elect a fit and proper person to ail the (Aline of churchwarden for the ensuing year. If no other candidate were nominated, he would put the question to the meeting. The Hon. and Rev. F. Banes said be.helieved he represented the universal sentiment of the ratepayers in saying that they owed a great debt of gratitude to Mr. Westertnn for the zeal, ability, and courage with which he had fulfilled the office of churchwarders for the past three years. (Cheers) He hail not only done his own duty, but instructed the chairman in his. He had maintained his rights, and had shown that he was not appointed solely to look after the building, but also to take care of the funds of the parish. He showed it to be his province to see that the money collected at the offertory for the poor should not be frittered away in 11 iral decorations. (Hear, hear.) They had heard that Mr. Tuck was to be put forward, and if he were elected the ratepayers would not only have Mr. Tuck the ft rist as purveyor of flowers to the church, but also as auditor of the accounts. If Tuck became their churchwarden, he feared there would be very little "tuck" left for the poor. (Laughter and cheers.) Her had been asked by Mr. Westerton to take tin office in his stead, but he had always refused ; first, becau • he did not feel competent ; and secondly, because he could not conscientiously sit in the parish church, and hear the Bible perverted. (Loud cheers, and cries of " So it is ;" "Its rank blasphemy, and nothing else.") Independently of religious scruples, he felt that he could never have any sort rif confidence in Mr. Lid dell. (liar, hear ; " Who would !" lie had no hesi tatien in sayiug that a person who would break faith with him in one instance would break faith in others. Mr. Liddell had sent him a message by two personal friends that if he (Mr. Baring) would take legal measures to re move those things which the Bishop of London objected to, he (11Ir. Liddell) would offer no opposition. A. faculty had accordingly been applied for, and the result was well known. The faculty was granted, but Mr. Liddell had appealed against it. (Groans and hisses.) The CHAIRMAN said he wished to ascertain what, the law was. When that was really ascertained, he was ready to bow to it. (Renewed groaning.) Mr. BARING —The impression no doubt was, that the churchwardens would not have shown so mush determi nation, but he was proud to say, there were members of the Established Church who were not lukewarm, and there should be no peace in the parish while the existing state of things continued. The hon. gentleman concluded by declaring he would continue the etrug,Oe sin gle-handed, if ever it came to that point, and proposed Mr. Wester ton as churchwarden for the ensuing year. Mr. JONES, M.P. (of Ten Glas), seconded the nomi nation. The contest had only been got up with a view to baulk the decision of the question between Mr. Wester ton and the chairman. (Hear.) Mr. LIDDELL asked whether there was any other can didate to be proposed, and loud calls were made for Mr. Tuck, but he di I not appear. Mr. BEAL said he had authority to state that he had retired from the contest. (A. voice— "He is regularly tucked up.") _ _ _ . . Mr. DIVETT, M.P., said he rarely took part in paro chial contests, but he had c - rrns forward on the present occ rsio;i to vote f m Mr. Westerton if occasion required. Mr. Wer.terton was then declared duly elected ; Mr. Liddell stating that he La 1 nothing to do with the oppo sition to hi. , r+turn—a fact which teat gentleman would confirm. (" Hear, hear," from Mr. Weste - rton.) Mr. WESTSRTON then addressed the meeting, acknow ledging the compliment paid to him, and exp!aining some facts which had been made the ground of mirepresenta tion of his conduct. He then proposed, and Mr. Beal accorded, a vote of thanks to Mr. Liddell for his conduct in the chair, which was agreed to, Mr. Beal expresing hope that the hon. and rev. gentleman would hereafter rely upon such popular expressions of good will rather than upon meretricious trumpery upon which he had hitherto depended. . _ _ Mr. LIDDELL briefly acknowledged the compliment, and the proceedings terminated.

Naval and Military Intelligence. Sir Charles Wood, B irt., M.P., First Lord of the Ai miralty, and Rear-Admiral the Right Hon. Sir Maurice F. F. Berkeley, K.C.B , M.P., Senior Naval Lord of the Admiralty, accompanied by his son and private secre tary, Mr. Berkeley, arrived at Portsniouth on Monday right, and were entertained at the Admiralfy-bonne by Vice-Admiral Sir George F. Seymour, K.O B , G.C.H., where they slept. Yesterday morning, at 10.30, steam o as ordered to be got up on board the Admiralty yachts Black Eagle, Master-Co nmander retley; Vivid, Master- Cowman er W. H. Alen, and Fire Queen, Master-Com mander F. W. Paul ; and about 11 o'clock the Lords of the Admiralty before named, accompanied by Sir Gore Seymour, Captain Codrington, C. 8., and Cap tain the Hon. J. R. Drummond, C. 8., embarked in the Blsck Eagle for Spithead. The Vivid and Fire Queen followed, and, as her Majestfa steam yachts Fairy and Eifin were going out at the same time to try their machinery, &e., prior to being reported ready for the service of the Court, the scene pre keoted was a very interesting one. The Vivid had on board Lady Csdrington, Mr. Berkeley, Commanders Risk, Crofton, and Saumarez, R.N. The Fire Queen had on board Lord de Blaquiere, Sir Wm. Jolliffe, M.P., and Sir Win. Stewart (friends of the Cominaeder-in Chief, Vice-Admiral Sir G. Seymour). The Admiralty squad ron steered towards the fleet, on the way to the Mother bank, the flag-ship Victory having previously made sig nal for the Colossus, 81, Capt. the Hon. Henry Keppel, C. 8., and the guieboat flotilla under his command, to get under way, signal having previously been made from the flag ship at Spithead early in the morning for all to get up steam. When their Lordships arrived at the Motherbank the gun-boat squadron (comprising between 20 and 30 four and two gun steam-vessels) weighed in two columns, following the Colossus, and proceeded to wards the westward. The gun-boats, in addition to their steam, made all sail to keep theirallotted stations.; in doing this the fleet-keeled Vivid acted as a sort of whipper-in, being ever and anon sent by the Admiralty ahead to order such and such a boat t r get upend keep berstation. When off Osborne Vice-Admiral Sir G. Seymour and friends reArned in the Fire Queen to harbour, and landed at 3 o'clock. The Black Eagle, with the Lords of the Admi ralty ()is board, proceeded with the flotilla for Portland, where they will muster and - isiiiriteuvre them, and not re turn befog Thursday. The whole force passed over the " Bridge" ( .ff the Needles) at about 2 o'clock, at which spot the Vivid left them, making all speed towards Portland in two lines, one on each quarter of the Colossus, and each keeping position as yell as it could according to the seniority of the respective commanders. Tile Admi ralty 'netlike:re were to sleep on board the Black Eagle last evening and resume their manoeuvring of the squadron this morning in Portland Reads. The Vivid returned to Portsmouth harbour at half-p ist 4to land her visitors and to recoal, and will proceed to Portland this morning with Admiralty despatches. So extensive a movement in con uexion with the fleet at Spithead, combined with the beauty and clearness of the weather, caused quite a corn inetion at Pertsiuouth and Ryde. Her Maj -sty arid the Court are expected to revisit Osborne on or sabout the 10 , n proximo, when the salute by the fleet will be a very interJsting feature should the weather prove as favourable for a spectacle as yesterday. When the gun boati are competed arid commissioned we believe they will be formed into a coast blockade should the war be ended and their services not required with the fleet. The last coast blockade was abolished by Sir J. Graham when he was first Lord of the Admiralty about 1831. The Wanderer, 6, new screw despatsh gun-vessel, Commander Luce, went out of harbour and joined the flotilla at the Motherbank yesterday, and accompanied it t r Portland. Th© steam-sloop Geyser, Commander Tower, went out of Foamy uth harbour yesterday, and Failed for the westward. The Gl.itton, 14, steam-battery, Captain Cumming, was doe, el yesterday fur refit. The AlgiJrg, 91, Captain Codrington, C. 8., was un docked ye t, rday at Porten:meta after refit. The screw steamer Andes, of the Canard line, has ar rived at Liverpool from Portsmouth, where she landed invalids from the seat of war. Sue is still retained by Government as a transport, under orders to be prepared for sea when required. The steam-ship Alps is also in port, waiting Government orders. Yesterday Mr. Jobn Laird launched from his Liver pool shipbuilding yards two iron mort-►r-boats. To-day be will launch two more, one from Liverpool and the other from Birkenhead. The following instructions have been issued fr.rn the Admiralty relative to the regulations to be observed in the gunboat flotilla. It is tie direction of the Com mander-in-Ghiet that the following arrangements be at tended to : " The gunboat flotilla has been divided into three large squadrons : Red squadron, under C.ept. Codrington, C. 8., White squadron, under the Hon. Capt. Keppel, C.B. ; Blue squadron, under Capt. Yelverton, C.B. ; and the left squadron under Capt. Key, C. B. Toe gunboats are to be painted black on the outside, the funnels and mast heads above the rigging to be painted as follows : —Red squadron, red ; blue squadron, blue ; white, white ; light, black and two white rings. The red, white, and blue squadrons will carry ensigns according to the colour of squadron. The light squadron will carry a blue en sign. The three large squadrons have been divided into four subdivisions, and will be d'oitingnished by vanes at the main as follows : Ist subdivision, two colours per pendicular ; 2J, two colours horizontal ; 3d subdivision, colours as let subdivi• ion, with ball on two bars ; 4th subdivision as 2d subdivision, with ball on three bars. The light division divided into two or more subdivisions, will be distinguished by vanes at the fore. Ist subdivision, same as great division ; 2d subdivision, same as great division. When a ball is hoisted with a signal, it is to be considered as addressed exclusively to gun-boats.

The large new lunatic asylum for insane soldiers, in course of erection at Fort Pitt, Chatham, for the use of soldiers arriving from foreign stations, is nearly Cara pitted, and wilt shortly be ready for the reception of this class of patients. The asylum forms a most desirable building for such a purpose ; it is situate within the ram parts which surrouud Fort Pitt, and is in a fine open si tuation, commanding a beaut.ful prospect in every direc tion. A large corridor extends the whole length of the building, which is intended for the use of the patients, who will thus be enabled to take open air exercise daily, regardless of the weather. The ramparts form a bar rier to the rear of the asylum, and in the front is a taste fully-arranged garden, railed off, in which the insane men will be allowed to walk, and from which they will be able to see arid converse with their convalescent com rades. The internal arrangements provide accornmoda ' Lien for a large number of patients, and the various wards are admirably adapted for the use they are intended. Captain George Goldsmith, the newly-appointed Cap tain Superintendent at Chatham dockyard, formerly in command of the Sidon, on the Mediterranean station, has arrived at Chatham and taken up his command at the dockyard, succeeding Rear-Admiral Wyvill, who has been promote]. The Surprise gunboat., Commander Harcourt Vernon, has arrived at Chatham from the Thames, to be fitted for sea, and is to be brought forward with all despatch. The launch of the Etna, 16, floating battery, now nearly completed, at Chatham dockyard, will, it is un derstood, take place on the 3.1 of April.

The 'intelligence which we communicated some days s inde, to the effect that the Pot to had refused to sanction in some pullet:liar§ the proceedings of I the -'.'aria conferences, is now confirmed. Th e Couneeil of Constantinople, , it is now known, has direitted Aali Pasha not to coneent to tho insertion of tt.e Sultan's late degree among the articles of pea ce, as such a concession would bind the Porte to a, certain form of administiation in its own inde pev.dent territories. •The Plenipotentiary has been also formally ordered to oppose any arrangement akaaut the Principalities which: should be in any \s ay prejudicial' to the sovereign rights of the Porte in those provinces. Of the former question we have already spoken. The institutions which are to give the Rayali subject's of the Sultan new rights I and a new career must be the care of the Western Towers for many years to come. It will be some time before England and France will be able to relax their hold upon Turkey.. The matters to be determined are important and complicated, and even the most enlightened statesman must confess that he sees but a little way .before him, in this Medley of hostle races, deeprooted prejudices, de caying yet tenacious creeds, intrigue, misrepresen tation, and venality. WO may be content, there fore, in some degree to wait, and see how gradual and-teadative reforms work in a land where every thing has been prescription and immobility fur . ages. But the question of the Principalities de mands a speedy decision. These provinces aro the most exposed and coveted part of the Turkish em pire. Theyare even now occupied by foreign armies. They have been for several generations under the influence, and at last under the recognised pro tection, of Russia. Within a few years they have been twice invaded by Russian troops,. and at the outset of the war were almost formally confiscated by the Czar. They are, through a large part of their extent, fertile beyond the average produc tiveziesS of Europe'; they command the great river of Europe, and the rectification of frontier proposed by the new treaty will add to their terri tory the delta and fortresses of the Lower Danube. The race which inhabits them is strangely situated. A part is under Russian sway, in Bessarabia and that part of Moldavia which was appropriated by Alexander in 1812. A part is subject to the dominion of the Austrian Emperor. Each of these potentates can place large armies on the frontier of that part of Roumania which is still in a manner independent, and each may be tempted to violate treaties by the natural desire to extend his empire, and the equally natural fear that his rival may anticipate him. The seizure of • the Principalities was the cause of this war, and must be the first step in any new aggression of Russia. It is, there fore, the duty of the Allies to settle the question on a sure basis, and build up a - political fabric which will give content to the inhabitan's, preserve las far as possible the rights of the Porte, and with out giving cause of offence to any powerful neigh bour, insure peace and tranquillity to Europe. It is singular how differently the question has been regarded by the Western Powers, by'the people of the Provinces, and by the Turks. - It is almost needless to say, that the - first notion of English statesmen was to give the Roumanians a young hereditary Sovereign, with a constitution of the regulation pattern. This plan seems now defi nitively abandoned. The Moldo-Wallachians them selves are rather vague in their aspirations. Tba free Boyards, clergy, and people of Moldavia have presented to their Hospodar, Prince Ghika, a pro test against the proceedings of the Ambassa hors at the Porte. They express a wish to see the Prin cipalities united into one nation ; declare that Der vish Pasha, the Turkish Commissioner, had held out hopes that their wishes would be regarded; and regret that the Porte, the Ambassadors, and the Paris Plenipotentiaries should proceed to re duce them to the level of a Turkish Pachalic. They talk of themselves as " Rournains," and of their Hospodar as a Christian Prince, but do not recom mend any definite measure. Sa far, however, as the protest represents the feelings of the people, it seems that a desire exists to enjoy even greater in dependence of Turkey than before, without sub jecting the country to any general protectorate of Europe. The Porte holds very different opinions. The manner iu which the Council has roused itself of late to assert its independence of foreign control is well described by our correspondent at Constanti nople. It seems that the Turkey whose armies were ordered to and fro by the allied Generals, and whose assent to diplomatic arrangements it was hardly thought necessary to ask for, is resolved once more to assert a will of its own. Whether the Porte will have the courage to persevere we know not, but at present its policy seems to be to uphold the independence and integrity for which the allies have declared that they fought. At the preliminary Conferences of Constantinople the question of the PrincipalitieS was debated, but no thing was settled. The want of full instructions was pleaded by the Ambassadors of France and Austria, and the matter was referred to the Confer ences at Paris. Shortly after the telegraph in formed the Porte that L )rd Clarendon, Count Or loff, and their associates were debating on the union of the two provinces. This idea had not been brough forward at the Constantinople Confer ence. The receipt of the news threw the Council into much excitement. Meetings of the high dig nitaries of the empire were daily held, and the re sult was a formal protest by telegraph against the discussion even of the uni on o f the two Princi palities, as an interference with the internal affairs of Turkey, and a violation of the sovereign rights of the Porte in those provinces. In spite of long interviews between the French and Austrian Am bassadors and the Ministers at the Porte, this pro test was sent. Such is the actual state of affairs. Into the ad vantages of the different plans proposed we shall not enter. Whether the Moldo-Wallachians would be better under one Hospodar than two, or under an hereditary than an elected chief, are questions which it would be useless to discuss bore. No doubt, an infinity of different constitutions might be con structed for these States ; it is also nearly as certain that no constitution will succeed unless it subjects the country to a good and strong, although enlight ened and patriotic, Government. The matter must soon be decided, and probably with a little energy difficulties will vanish. But these events are chiefly worthy of note as showing that Turkey is by no means so acquiescent as was supposed. The old Tartar obstinacy yet lives, and the West must prepare itself for resistance and evasion when it asks for the accomplishment of the changes which have been so often promised. (From the Morning Post of this day.) In England there is a judgment of the People to deal with soberer, stronger, and more steady than that which has hitherto growled, and thundered, and at times shaken everything to rain in France. We use the term, judgment of the People, in both cases, though the position and character of the two has been widely different in the moment of revolu tion. In our case the wealth, and much of the birth and standing of the country joined with the mal contents to a great degree, restrained the license of their worst classes, and succeeded in securing to us the benefits of the constitution which we now en joy. Yet we have no great King since the day when Cromwell shattered the rule of England, and once more bound it together again. William the Third, a foreigner with all the disadvantages entailed on him by his want of sympathy with the land in which he lived, and by his unfortunate temper, had, at least, the reputation of ruling as a successful ad venturer. He was accepted by the Parliament as a means of carrying out the reforms on which they were determined ; and to this feeling, to these conditions, no less than to his undoubted powers of mind, he owed the success which be enjoyed. In France a very different state of things has pre vailed. Richelieu broke the power of the nobles, and created none in its stead. When they fell they fell utterly, and their place was taken, not by the people, but by the m o b , an d t h at mob the worst that the world could produce—clever, educated, and entirely unscrupulous. From that strange domination under which all France groaned and laboured, from that possession of evil spirits which tore and disfigured her she was rescued by the first Napoleon. He fell—from what errors we need net now inquire or discuss—but he did not fall until he had carried France to the height of her glory and her greatness, until he had made for him self the name, as a Public Man, as the Head of a great Nation, that will always stand in the fore most page, not only of the history of war, but of the history of the internal regulation of a great empire. It is natural that Napoleon the Third, chosen by the people as he has been to succeed this great example of his family, shoulitiollow him in those parts of hie character whiolvmogattooted ! and which best please the E'rench nation. His Court and his attendance a re , ,as t h e F rench nation I wish those of the Emperor to be, splendid and . perial. But with this grandeur of display mingles a true elevation of mind. It is an elevation which, while it carrief him to the'greatest heights of State affairs, - does not raise him above the ordinarydutiea of humanity. If be be a great Emperor, he is at the same time a tender hu.shand. If he be a keen diplomatist, he is not the less a tenacious friend. be carry nobly and well the high dignity which wears,-he never 'forgets to whonihe owes it, by whom he was chosen, and ah,se interests-are en trusted to him. In every answer to the ;natty ad ! , dresses which pour on him from all classes, and from all parts of the country, he attributes to the choice of the people, and to that entirely, the place which his dynasty once more holds on the imperial throne of France. He has filled that place better, we believe, than any other man now living could - have filled it. 11 • has vindicated his claim by the strongest proofs. He has brought France, weak, tu multuous, discontented, and miserable, to a state of order in which site is strong, at rest, prosperous, and happy. Ho has plaCed her, whom her enemies sneered at as a sinking Power, once more in the first rank of nations. He gives her the prospect of a calm and steady greatness. Such—so acute, so firm, so honest, 'ana so steadfast—is the character of the man who now stands, by the choice of the - people and by his own deeds, at -the head of the Imperial Dynasty of France. No ruler of France could long hold his sway who could not direct armies, who had no sympathy wit h the soldier, who could not make the army feel that he was the man- who should be at their head. This Napoleon 111. has done. :He has joined us with equal ability in the direction of a disinterested war, and in the making of an honourable peace. That peace once made, there comes his most difficult task and his proudest achievement, the keeping France rich, industricms;and peaceful, in content' andunity. This will be the strongest test of that consummate ability in the management of the State which he has already shown. This will be the format:on of the noblest legacy to his family. This will be the continuance—in friendly - emulation and in inter change of commerce—of au alliance with England, in which he has displayed an honesty and an un swerving frankness which no man has ever exceeded The blaze of joy which the birth of the Prince ex cited in all Franco had none of the commonplace character of regal or .imperial rejoicing about it. It was, as we believe, a real, strong, and cordial feeling, warranted by the fact that it gave permanence and stability to the existing order of things. We hare leen, not without regret, the grave yet eager sugges tions in which some of our contemporaries have in dulged for a change in the constitution of France. In Heaven's name, what have we to do with the French Constitution ? What business have we with the . . form of governMent und er w hi c h a neighbouring and allied country thinks it proper to fir it-elf, after sixty yews of disastrous trials, from which it escaped in a condition calling loudly fora strong hand to set it in order ? The foolish prejudice which clamoured against the Emperor aka tyrant has passed away for ever. No man is more willing than he to give the French nation all the liberty it wants. No man is more determined to save the good and deserving majority from the tyranny of ths few clever and unscrupulous adventurers who would willingly override all that is independent of their influeuc3. No man, we should think, could be less anxious to leave the Child 4 France, who fills the Imperial cradle, and satisfies the hope of that great .country, the dangerous monopoly of power ; but no man will keep a stronger grasp •on that power, so long as it is for the good o f th e nation that he should do so. No man has au eye more keen and more just for what is right—uone has a judgment less liable to ho warped—none has a courage more unfaltering than Napoleon 111. THE SOUND DUES. COPENHAGEN, March 20.—You are aware that the ground upon which the Government of the Unitsd States has denounced the treaty of amity and commerce with Denmark of the 26th of April, 1826, - is their u; - willingness to surrender to any PoWerthe right of using the ocean as the " highway of commerce," mid, to ac knowledge the right of Denmark to levy the Sound dues —a right which the Ueited States have recigni , td from the moment of their entering in'• the class of indepen dent nations until 1826, as a not privileged State, and as a privileged State' from Vint year until the 1, .h of April, 1855, when they denounced the aheve-named, treaty. Some of the most eminent American etatestucii—as Daniel Webster and the celebrat?d Henry Wheaten —formerly acknowledged the right of Denmark to levy the Seund due*, as resting upon " immemorial usage," and sanctioned by numerous treaties ' • and the bet writers on public ltvr—for example, B' yekershoel to d Lord Stowell—consider the law of nations as derived from the usage and, practice of mankind. The first time the right of Denmark to levy tolls upon tee m r chant vessels passing the Sound nal the Belts has been denied was in 1843, by the then American Secreta"y of Stat-, Mr Upsh2r, who, in a report to President ; i:er remarked "That Denmark could n o t d eman d t hi s t o ll upon any principle of natural or public law, nor upon any other ground than ancient u age, which finds t 0 justification in the existing state of things. She renders no eervice for this exaction, and"—this, I presume, ie the princie al argument—" has not 'even the cairn of power to enforce it." But Mr. Upshur died shortly after, and his successor in office, Mr. Calhoun, the great knew insult, entirely abandoned the stand taken by Mr. Upshur in this question. Now, the new American doctrine of public law might, perhaps he defended, at least from an American point of view, if the Uiiited States themselves acted up t ) it in their relations with every other ration. But if you compare the course pursued by the United States' Government in a recent negotiation about the free navigation of the St. Law rence river with that which they have adopted in regard to the Sound dues, you will perceive that the ja3 for. tionis is the real principle of American public law. In the neg )thition with Great Britain about the free navi gation t f the St. Lawrence the Unite-I States claimed that the stipulations o' the Vienna treaties, "by - wh:ch the navigation of the great European rivers had been male free to all nations, were applicable per analogy to the navigation of the St. La erence." In their ne gotiations with Denmark about the S mud dues the United States (viz., Mr. Marcy, in his Oespatch to the American Charge d'Affaires at C .penhagen, of July 18, 1853) decidedly repudiate the i lea of elle% ir•g any weight to the treaties of Vienna in regard to the Sound dues question, and does not take any notice of the fact that the Congress of Vienna, although makieg fiee the navigation of the great European river=, left, the right of Denmark to levy the &end dues entirely un touched. By the 4th article of the reciprocity treaty with Great Britain of June sth, 1854, the United States agreed :—"That the citizens end inhabitants of the United States shall have the right to navigate the river St. Lawrence, subject only to the same tolls and other assessments as now arc or may hereafter be exacted of her Majesty's said subjects, it being understood, how ever, that the British Govtrnment retains the right of suspending this privilege on giving due notice thereof to the Government of the Ueited Stitee." But to Den mark Mr. Marcy ta ) ks in a high tone of the "free high way of nations," and refuses to have anything to do with European public law and E iropEan balance of power. When invited to the conferences shout the Sound dues, held at present at Copenhagen, and where Austria, Bel gium, France, Great Britain, Holland, Oldenburgh, Prussia, Spain, Sweden and Norway, and Russia are represented, the United States declined taking a part 'n them, and in all probability the question will be resolved without their co-sp. ratio In a recent meeting of the conference the Danish Commissary, Mr. Blubme, submitted a propels' of capi talisation of the Sound dues, according to which Den mark should receive 35 millions of Danish six %Pars as indemnity for the abolition of the tolls, on the following conditions : pa Pe ri le c r pa i t n e ter in es t t h ed e pinaytmhtent%taidc to by the Powers represented in "r.

"(b.) That's sum of 2,335,088 rixdollars shall be con sidered an indemnity for the lighthouse dues, and 32,664412 rixdollars as compensation fur duties upon goods. - "(c) That the payment of the quota share of each of the represenlei Poe e ei shall he guara nt ee d to Denmark in a sa(i.factory m anner. " • The Danish Commissary further stated that the above named sum was the minimum of indemnity ehich Dan mark had the right of claiming. According to this proposal, the Aare of Great Britain t 720 1 0 d, otnheey carne e a s b u o m u that of Prussia about 4,500,000 Danish rixdollers, that 006301 . 11/i the s l h ° it e rrol ° R Cl u D ss a ia ll a is b h ou m t of Sweden and Norway about 2,000,000. that of the Ne t herlands 1,500,000, thee of France 1,250,000, that of Belgium 300,000,000 rixdollars ' that of Spain 1,000,000, and so on, in pr ipottion -to the yearly average amount of dues each State has paid in later years. You will easily understand that it is of the greatest importance to Denmark that this affair should be regu latel before the 14th of June, 18511, the prolonged term of the expiration of the Danish-American treaty of 1826, as after this time any extremity of violent measures may -be feared , on the part of -the American Government. The journals of the Union at least speak of seizing upon the Danish West India Islands, especially St. Thomas's, as reprisals against the Danish Governnaent, should it exact the payment of Sound dues by AmerieLn vessels peeling the Sound after-the expiration of the treaty of 1826. Many British subjects being settled in those islands, and St. Thomas's being an important British postal and packet station, it is to be supposed that the British Government would not look with indifference upon such an act of violence on the part of the United States. But still it would be preferable that, .tie Bound dues question being settled before the above named term, the threatened complication did notte*Feet The 47,000/. of gold brought by the Lightning Ins been taken to the Bank of England.
