The following is from our New York corm-

NEW YORK, Dzc.23, ISM.
When Kossuth reaches Washington we may ex-
pect to hear of very interesting events. In my last
I informed you of a rumour that the representative.
a the European monarchical powers near this go-
emmout have threatened to withdraw from the
country if Kossuth is received with public honours
at the e.,pital. 'Mt he will he, to a certain extent,
I cannot doubt. That these ministers, however,
should be so imprudent as to make threats of with-
drawal at the moment, of all others, when their
presence and their sagacity would most benefit their
eon nutsters, appears singular enough. The Presi-
dent and his cabinet will take great pains to avoid
anv :apt that tin implicate us with foreign powers.
vjrc possibly Mr. Webster may in some way attempt
1,1 the torrent now threatening to break over
the 'bounds of our long-established policy.
And yet, at this moment, he hardly dare
esp.we himself to the danger which would
mead such • course. President Fillmore, who
evidently would like a re-election, is in the
podiessoent. On the other hand, three of the
democratic candidates for the presidency have come
cut boldly and decidedly iu favour of the new doc-
trine of intervention as promulgated by Kossuth,
vu.. Mr. Walker. lieneral Cuss, and, within a few
Bass past. tiocernor Marcy, the best thinker and
%hi. most isinscreathe of the three. All this looks
strangely even to us. I think it very probable that
some attempt will he made by c ingress to instruct
the Presid. at to propose the policy of this interven-
tion to England and France —powsibly to remonstrate
with Russia against its assistance of Austria.
At this moment the news of the romp tri'tat of
LaliA rev. teed by the Europa at Bahia:,
IMO tome upon uswith the most astounding force.
It is a very curious circumstance that such a man
as Kossuth should have arisen at this moment, when
time is such a reimukable agitation throughout the
weird on the subjects of polities and religion. It
would scent Out in the opinions of many reformers,
Christianity had bee,rne effete and obsolete; and
that governments were about to dissolve at the touch
of the social philanthropists. Rut here comes a re-
fcus r of a different stamp, a protestant by convic-
tion. who bows down his head before the Almighty
power which governs the world and brings order out
of confusion. Hite is a reformer who knows the
true condition of humanity, its 14 CakIICSSCS, its wants,
and its cares. Such a man aiipearing among us
Vial a resistless eloquence shames all the pitiful par-
ries who grope in their own corners only for the
light.

it,RD PALMEKATON.—The "forming Herald, after
alluding to "the retirement dismissal" of Lord Pal-
m. nton, says retirement
have poseeseion, from undoubted
authority, of all the facts in connection with the recent
cant, and we *lull proceed to detail them without any
current rite or comment, adhering elueely to the narrative
of the event* as they °mond. We shall thus afford to our
readers the best possible means of deducing their own con-
clusions. Before the cabinet differences respecting the
Finsbury-Kossuth affair had been arranged with his col-
leagues, situ in higher goluters by Lord Palmerston, Count
Walewski called on the noble ea-Secretary for Foreign
Affairs, and communicated to him the fact of the ernv
if fiat which had been accomplished by the Prince Presi-
dent, together with the reasons by which Louis Nape-
Iten cousidend himself compelled to take the steps
which he had adopted. Lord Palmerston on that occa-
sion, as the result of the interview, approved of the
course adopted by the French Preeident, considering that
the reaeons, assigned for it by Count Walewski were
sufficient to justify it. These facts having been made known
to Lord John Russell, the premier rent a written remota-
strauee to Lord Palmerston, complaining that the Foreign
Faeretary hail taken a step so important as that of as Sp
proval of the coup if. tat of Louis Napoleon, without cow-
salting his colleagues, whom he had thus committed to it.
She reply of Lord Palmentou to this written re-
monstrance was, that his interview with Count
alewski had been a private conversation, and'
that neither its terms nor the rveult committed the
govenuni nt to any particular course of action, and that the
British Eleciitive might, if it pleased, go to war with
France even then without violating any official pledge
given by him—that Count Walewaki had proved to him,
by unipiestionableelecoments, that Louis Napoleon would
have been arr.ted in a few days by the opposite party in the
Aweinbly (who had prepared their coup it. tat), and would
have been shut up in Vincennes, had he not struck the
blow—which he had thus been compelled to strike.
'thus far Lord Palmerston approved of the course
&opted by the President; but, he urged, ho hail not then
been made acquainted with the arrests, the lighting, and
the °tin r CITCYIII4,IIICI,9 which had immediately billowed the
new .ate of affairs, and, therefore, he did not think it se-
r...ary to consult formally his colleagues as to triremes
stauces which had only been initiated. Moreover, he did
12,4 omsid.T st necessary for a Secretary of State—the
acknowledged head of a departosent to consult his colleagues
as to every transaction which came properly and positively
ender his administration. This reply to the Premier Lord
Pimenton considered would be thoroughly matislaetory,
and he rather cipeckd the ainende honorable; but to
his anissement he received a demand for the transaiis-
non of his wale of office to the First Minister of the
Crown. On Monday, the 2nd ult., the cabinet met. The
members of the administration wen up to that time per

BALL OF TICE NUN COMaIssIONED OFFICERS OF

THE 2NII Ltrs.tl tianua:Thaioe Atalwart sons of Mars, the
non•eirnamiationed officers of the 2nd Life-Hoards, ogres
their usual anneal b.ll yesterday evening, at the Commer-
ted flail, Kintrieroad, Chrbica. The room, which is bole-
fully decorated, and admirably adapted to entertainments
of this de,wription, was comfortably thronged with the
military heroes and their fair friends, and both parties
seemed determined, by their hearty enjoyment of the scene,
to make the most of the short time that is to elapse, before
the coati mplatol migration from Knightsbridge. The
%What! ArTAIIRVIIIuIItS were curried out under the auspices of
Mr. Grattan (*.poke, with an order and regularity that
would have dorw honour to Almack's, and the music, which
was also arranged by that gentlemen, wu both tasteful in
selection and brilliant in esectition. The " Schottische,
Polka. and Quirdrile" were danced with much vigour and
enioyment, and although, looking at the stature of the
gentlemen, they could hardly be said to " trip it on the
light fantastic toe," they did their spiriting very gently,
and no doubt much to their own and their partnere satis-
faction. The dancing finished at a late hour with the old
k:nglish country dance of " Sir Roger de Coverley."
