LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20.

WE look upon France pretty much as one might
upon a body stretched out for dissection. We admire
the noble form, that fine receptacle fur life, when life
was in it. We imagine its vigour when it stood up.
right, and the strength with which nature had Mt.
dewed it for good and great purposes. But it lies
prostrate, with all the elements of corruption active
and those of regeneration dormant. We may admits
or regret the part, as connected with that once living
form ; but in connexion with the present, we can feel
neither sympathy nor passion. And me
could dissect it with all the cold indifference m
the anatomist. Very different indeed are one's feel.
ings when treating of Italy, or Hungary, or Got.
many, or any nation, however crashed, which still
has life and youth, hope and feeling—which writhe
and resists even in despair—which obeys a principle,
and owns a religion, in politics as well as in eternity,
It is difficult to imagine a country so totally de.
void of public feeling or of public pride. Any firm,
handed despot might humble France before Europe,
might use her resources to support any criminal, or
superannuated, or imbecile cause ; might convert its
army into mere police, and take the mosey of the in.
dustrious to pay them. Throughout a land of
thirty millions there seems no motive for public
conduct acknowledged save fear or avarice, or the
merest selfishness. There is no principle in public
men, no force in public opinion. There reigns in the
political atmosphere, that dead, dark, and solemn calm
that accompthies or preludes great convulsions,
when there is not a light to guide one, nor a breath
of wind to move a sail, were one to spread it.
Upon such a world has poor Louts NAFOLEON been
thrown—we say poor, for we profoundly pity him.
He has been a twelvemonth at the head of- a noble
country, and he has not found one principle of govern.
ment, one public aim, one true support, one genuine
friend. The interests of each party that he advanced
to power were hostile to him, yet he has shrunk
from those which could best have coalesced with him.
He was made to consider evervthing popular and every.
thing liberal as a bugbear, and he consequently flung
himself into the arms of parties whose chief hopes
consisted in his betrayal.
It certainly was a perplexing thing, for a prince
or a president, placed at the head of a French govern.
ment, to find out support for that government. The
popular party was profoundly ulcerated, the middle
class terribly frightened, the monied class outrageous
with losses, of which they flung the entire blame on
liberalism and republicanism, instead of attributing
them to their own improvidence, selfishness, and folly.
Loyalty was a sentiment unknown. Even the V.
timists disown it : what they want is a prince, to
stand capitol of that column of which they, the
aristocracy, form the shaft. But their principles are
as little chivalric and as much calculated, se the
carnet of an agent de change.
The monied class, who were ruined by the repute
lie, and the legitimists, who had been in ruin and dia.
grace during the last half century, coalesced ; and
they offered power to whoever would put down reptile
licanism and do their work. They offered it to
LAMARTINZ, they offered it to CAVAICNAC—
The one was too foolish, the other too honest, to
accept such terms. Louts NAPOLEON grasped at
them. Ile was elected by them—at least appeared
to be so- and he became their tool. They hold him
in their mends. They have got an Assembly of their
choosing. For the popular element, which was at
first sufficiently strong in it, was got rid of by a most
foolish conspiracy, which decreased and discredited
the liberal ranks and cause. Louis NAPOLEON hes
no power to dissolve this Assembly. He has no
power to govern, save through its majority. And
although this majority was obtained from the country
under the idea that society and property were in
danger, and that the men to be returned should be
men who would vote for them at all price, there is
no appeal from the extravagant reaction of this majo-
rity. We see what it has done in Rome—something
that neither LOOM I'HILIPPE nor CHARLES X. could
have dared. And whet they have done in Rome they
will strive to do in France—that is, restore the ancient
state of things, the monarchy of the elder Bourbons,
the court, the priesthood, the categories of proscrip-
tion, the censorship of the press, the colleges in pos-
session of the learnt'. The reaction at Paris moves
at a point quite as extreme as the reaction at Berlin
or Vienna. All that is wanting is the scaffold, and
that may come.
Bat although this is the aim of M. FALLOUX and
M. MONTALEMBERT, and of the united majority of
legitimists and Orleanists, we cannot believe that M.
'NIERS has put himself at the head of any such erusade.
M. THIERS is too much and too indelibly a son of the
revolution to commit himself to any each doctrines,
or any such party. M. Tntens is essertiully a foreign
politician; his whole soul is in the interests and advance-
ment of his country abroad. And in order that it may
have a commanding position abroad, M. THIESS would
perhaps desire to raise to power that party which is
strongest in domestic politics. What LordAzenueeor
recommends in England, M. THIERS recommends in
Franc,. Lord ABERDEEN says, let us make friends
with Austria and absolutism, and by that means ap-
pear to support and share in a reaction that we can-
not resist. M. THIESS says, the tide of reaction and
absolutism is strong; let us join it, and make the
most of it.

M. 'rums and Lord ABERDEEN are, we think,
equally wrong, equally untrue to the great princi-
ples of both their countries, which principles can
alone give force to the policy of those countries.
But both, we think, would join in dissimulation, not
in sincerity, the retrograde policies whose alliance
they uphold.
M. TRIERS is, like Lord ABERDEEN, biassed in no
small degree by motives of personal rivalry. The
old feud between TRIERS and Due'AuxE, Titans and
PASSY, survives. And M. TRIERS, who fought the
battle of the right of ministers, and not kings, to
govern, under Louts Paturre, is most unwilling
to give up such a principle to a Louts NAPOLEON.
For the president of a republio to write a letter dis-
' owning all complicity with the unpopular but neces-
sary policy in which his cabinet has embarked, is la
trick in M. TIIIERS' estimation which no public man
ought to allow.
Such we believe to be the explanation of M.
TRIERS'S conduct; and we are far from thinking it
satisfactory. Bat it, at least, removes or contradicts
the very deplorable supposition that such men as DL
Talmo have given their assent, their talents, and
their efforts, to a legitimist restoration.

The way in which West India proprietors manage
their estates was well exemplified some days ago by
one of our correspondents. " I knew a proprietor,"
said he, " who for two successive years sent out
3,0001. for the purpose of improving the culture of
his estates ; and the whole of his money went without
affording him the slightest return for it. At the com-
mencement of the thud year, therefore, he communi-
cated to his agent the necessity of throwing his es-
tate out of cultivation, and out of cultivation it re-
mains to this moment."
Now this proprietor is as good a sample of a West
Indian proprietor as it is possible to meet with. He
was a liberal proprietor—in proportion to their means
West India proprietors are all liberal. According to
his own notions, too, this proprietor did everything
that was required of him • g that he conic
do—to improve his property. Ike sent out 3,0001.
year hard cash—no small sum in these times—to fact-
litate the operations of his " managers.* He got for it
not a sixpence by way of return; but, instead thereof,
a demand for another similar "matting's. Whereupon,
I after taking two or three tarns up and down the
I
Cheltenham Pregneaadeo he determined that be

° would stand this no longer ;" that ho had better
relinquish his estate altogether, and forthwith he
sends out a mandate to dismiss the niggers, to sell the
sock, to dismantle the house., and make away with
es" mill " for old iron ; in fine, " to throw the estate
out of cultivation altogether," without the smallest
hope oft ear obtaining from it another fraction of •
halfpenny.
This is told to us with lamentation by a well in-
kesh;il West Indian, as the fate of a proprietor, one
(this ore class. Of "a" proprietor, do we say? It
is the hike..;v of hundreds of them ! Nothing can be
awe graphic, mu.'_' true, or more complete, than oar
florreepoodent's sketch en han'a-dmsn nose. Ho has
given us, in a few word', the closing scene of West
Indian recklessness and "ruin." And the WOW
West lodia proprietor he describes is, msfll
be booed to say, at this hour cursing the
limancipation Act, exclaiming against the isjastiss et
Great Britain, besieging the Colonial-ofte• with
grievances, to which the authorities therein pay_ so
mot of attention, and assisting at meetings of " West
India merchants, proprietors, and planters," at which
the strongest possible resolutions are arrived at, cash
et which may form the subject of distinct resolution)
la the House of Commons, to be moved by Mr.
Peru BoaTnwtog, whenever that worthy again ob.
Mite a seat in parliament.
Gracious heavens! Is it possible to conceive such
a combination of infatuation, recklessness, extra's-
pace, credulity, folly and despair as this (our corns.
spondee.) tale unfolds ! Here are proprietors know-
Jog little er nothing of their property—ignorant of its
management—entrustiog their own fortunes and the
fate of others to agents of whom they know nothing,
except by reputation or correspondence, and sending
out their thousands, at the simple demand or recon-
dition of those agents, to be emplojed " ia promoting
the cultivation of the estates," how they .
know, and with what advantage they have not
cient iiiformation to appreciate.
Nevertheless, the mosey goes out : they have cheap
these proprietors will tell you, everything that is is
their pewee—they console themselves with that reale-
tion as they sign the cheque. Well, a couple of yeses
pass over aid they see to symptoms of the least ine.
turn. Does that awaken them ? Not a bit of it. Are
they aroused to look further into the state of affairs,
aid to exert their own energies. to avert the threatened
ruin ? Oil the contrary, they give themselves up with
eonstitutionsl resignation, to what they seem to think
"their late ;" and instead of personally endeavouriog
to redeem their losees, they order " the estate to be
thrown out of cultivation altogether," thus destroying
themselves without even a decent appearance of a
struggle.
Would any other proprietors in the whole world
resign themselves to despair and ruin in this fashion,
after making such an investment ? Would any other
body of men, let them be proprietors, merchants,
msnufactuters, or who they nay, have made
such an investment in " improvements," with
even a chance of being obliged to abandon,
not merely those improvements, but their capi-
tal, estate, and everything else at the expiration
of two years? This case, narrated by a West Indian,
places his friend the proprietor upon the horns of this
dilemma : either he must have acted in utter igno-
rance of his own concerns in making hie investment,
or else he must have given way to mere despair in
abandoning his possessions. Our acquaintance with
the West Indian proprietary convinces us that be
stands fixed, not on the one horn or on the other, but
on both.
Sapp:re, this West India proprietor had taken a
different coarse. Suppose, when he wu called on to
invest in improvements so high • sum as 3,0001. a
year over and above his ordinary outgoing', be had
gone himself out to the estates—had examined, in a
business-hke way, into the intended appropriation of
his money ; had made a business-like calculation of
the probable returns upon it, and had acted upon
what he saw with his own eyes and what he calcu-
lated with his own knowledge of arithmetic? Is
much a case as that, how many thousand pounds is it
probable he would have been the richer on this 20th
of October, in the year of Grace 1849 P Or
suppose, when the 6,000!. was sunk and gone—
suppose our West Indian friend had even then taken
a different course. Suppose, instead of "throwing
the estate out of cultivation altogether," he had gone
out to the colony himself, had commenced a whole-
sime reduction of the expenditure upon his property,
bad laboured for a few years upon the spot, to right
the ship after the &mage she had sustained; had
thrown over the lumber which encumbered the decks,
had taken in some of the superfluous sail, had trimmed
a little to meet the unfavourable weather she is said
to be encountering;—why, would there not have
been ago chance of his getting into port, " with
damage," no doubt, but at least without the owner
being liable to the charge that he was the first to
abandon his owe ship ?
In the case before us, however, the evil is woos-
plisht d, and is irremediable. Why do we refer to
it? To afford an opportunity for blaming or con-
demoirg the P By no mean. Oar object

measure, they way have brought upon them-
selves; but in their hour of that distress our
duty is not to increase their sufferings, but to afford
them our assistance. We desire to point out the evils
of the existing West Indian system—if we could do
so with advantage, we should be glad to point out
how many of those evils may be remedied. We take
no despairing view of West Indian affairs: we be-
lieve there are prosperous days in store for those
possessions. But, like the landlords here,
the West Indian proprietors must abjure
exploded fallacies. Slavery and taxes upon
food have both for ever passed away. The sys-
tems of management which both created must also
undergo a chatgo. In the case of the West Indies
that cnaege must be more extensive than the change
at home, because the system is more deeply ingrafted,
and is more atrociously corrupt and has fewer exist-
ing influences opposed to it. But we warn the pro-
prietors—aod the facts we dwell on here sustain our
position—we warn the proprietors that either that
" SYSTEK " must go, or THEY must go. There is no
alternative for them. They most either abandon
their estates, or abandon the existing mode of manaff-
ing those estates. And in pressing this position—in
showing them now and hereafter, what must and
can be done—if we are obliged to tell them painful
truths, we beg of them to believe that we administer
the nauseous medicine for their own advantage.

NEW YOBY, Ocr. 3.
M. Poulain, the French minister, has arrived in
this city, where he will for the present remain. He
is evidently sorry fx his mistakes, and is very much
in hopes that he will somehow be enabled to remain.
A rumour is afloat as to this affair, which I shall
allude to in another part of this letter.
We are in possession of later news front Yucatan.
A brig arrived here en Sunday from Sisal, which
place she left on the 10th of September. The Indians
had advanced within fifteen miles of that place, and
an attack was hourly expected. Great alarm existed
among the inhabitants; but the authorities of the
Aoaoe, 'wino bean reinforced by 600 trams from
' Merida, was determined to Main a stout reashmee.
It is the opinion of many sensible persons, that the
Indians, being numerically superior to the Yenta-
nese, showing equal bravery, and burning with the
desire of renege, will finally obtain possession of the
country.
Wave an snivel from the east coma of Africa;
the brig Margaret Anne having arrived here from
the island of Mozambique, with dates to July 6. The
French settlements on the coast have been attacked
by the natives, and burnt to the ground, and neither
wood nor water could be obtained by vessels visiting
that coast.

We have also, by the way of New Orleans, advice§
from the city of Mexico to the 224 of August. The
Indians had been ravaging the state of Durango to a
feuful extent. General Uraga had obtained an im-
portant vistory over the rebels in the Sierra Gordo,
and a regiment of cavalry had been sent from Mon-
terey to Matamoras, to reinforce the troops already
a.m. Mr. Cliffurd, our minister, having been re-
called from Mexico, had his audience of leave as the
oth. The circumstances attending it are
.remartable

and serve to justify some of the predictions which
made at an early day; in tbetiourse of this correspond-
ence. All pains were taken to show him honour.
The President received him in his audience-chamber,
surronaded by his cabinet, and a guard of honour was
in attendance, presenting arms. l'dr. Clifford made a
very complimentary address, to which the President
replied as follows :
Direr I feel a lively pleasure to listening to tio neanifeela.

limited Mates of the North towards Merino, sod he mete.

SIMS the two republics. I beg of your excellency, Mr.
I:l3lbrd, that in oar name you may be pleased to manifest ta
the most iniosinat President of your nation that the govern-
ment of Mexico cherishes like sentiments, and that Its met
coma drive in Is see daily augmented harmonious relation
Minn bah emearise. But I see with positive repel the
a=loa Mtn Minable a minister as your excellency, Mr.
,who. In discharging the functions of your miasma, to
eassatleg the actual relations of good undnutanding, sad
le earieg to he forgotten the motives of discord between
bee republics, have fulfilled the duties of a diplomatist, OM
issagher, sad lover of the peace of notices. I hope that
year szaelloney, on returnieg to your °emery will do ell
tied yea ay believe aftweary tl promote the friendship of
red andentanding of our people, and you may be save
east you carry with you the sympathies and kind renew
lumen of this government and of the Mexicans.
When this was over, the President, accompanied
by his secretary, went to the minister's house to take
have of him there ' • the first instance of the kind re-
cordcd to the history of tl.at country. He informed
him that he had ordered an emote of the National
Guard to accompany him to Vera Cruz ; that his
talents, his love of justice, and his gentlemanlike de-
portment had endeared hint to Mexican hearts, and
that if such ministers is he bad previously repre-
sented the United States in Mexico, toe friendly re-
lations c f the two countries would never have been
interrupted. (Mr. Clifford has since arrived in Wash-
ington.) Letters from Puebla, seven days later, in-
form us that the &arm in regard to the secret expedi-
tion still continued.

The conducts for the English mail steamer passed
through on the 23th, with specie amounting to
1,300,000 doh. The stocks of merchandise in the
oountry were large, and business was very dull. The
weather had become remarkably fine.
A communication from the Mexican Blinieer for
Foreign Affairs has been addressed to the British
ministry, through the authorities of Belize, Honduras,
complaining of the ass stance afforded by that colony
to the insurgent Indians; and the reply received was.
that the colony had only exercised its undoubted
rights. Some difference had arisen with the governor
of Jalisco, in conszquerce of his having imposed a
duty of 61 per cent. on the tobacco imported into
the country during the period of American (meow
lion. The matter bad become the subject at dip:4)-
121111 C correspondence.
We have by the way of Savannah intelligence from
Havannah to the 14th of September.
There have been 1,349 cases of yellow fever, and
84 deaths during the month of August in the Ks-
vannsh. In the rest of the island, same month, 234
cases, 12 deaths.
A en•pension bridge is about to be constructed
across the river San Juan, from Matanzas to Pueblo
Nuevo. _ _ _ . .

We ises received about ten days' later intelligence
from California by overland conveyance. The Ameri-
cans had determined on driving. all the foreigners
away from the mines, and had given them notice to
quit by a certain day, or they would expel them by
force. The amount of gold taken from the mines
'outlaws to be large. Before closing this letter we
shall probably have a telegraphic despatch from New
Orleans, giving us the news by the Falcon, from
Chagres, with a month's later intelligence from Cali-
fornia. A friend, writing me from San Francisco,
says he is about to visit San Jose and Puebla (the
finest part of California), where the most delicious
fruits are abundant. When I again hear from him
you shall have the results of his journey.
Within a few dais paseit has leaked out that as
hag ago as May last Mr. Rush, our minister
Paris, wrote to our Secretary of State, that Louis
Napoleon had declared if he went to war with any
country it would be with the United States. Thb
communication from Mr. Ruh wu dated the 3rd of
May, and it was on the 12th of May M. Poulin made
his uncivil demand on our government. This infor-
mation comes direct from Washington, and has got
into our newspapers. Most of them think the re-
mark has been misunderstood. I do not. Believing
that a crown is the aspiration of the President, that
he believes his popularity will carry him through
every thing, when events mature, I should not be
surprised if he sought to give a turn to the
French sentiment against this country, solely bseaw
it is a republic. If this was his ibtentin be has
now the opportunity, for General Taylor hasi taken
his ground, cad he will be supported in it by the
country without respect to party. Our navy is pant.
ing for active service, and if France wishes to lose a
few ships, and roll up a few more millions of francs
debt, she has the opportunity. I take it for granted
that Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield and Leeds
would have no objections to the exchange of a few
blows between the United States and France.
Mr. Abbot Lawrence, our new minister to your
court, is probably with you ere this. It is due to
him to state that he was opposed to the recall of the
late Secretary of Legation, and had Mr. Clayton
listened to him or to Mr. Everett, there would have
been no recall. It is doubtful whether the gentleman
who fills the poet will be acceptable to the United
States' Senate. Mr. Clayton certainly goes on Mun-
i= a style which is rather unusual for an
Secretary of State.
Amara railway, reaching from the city of New
Took to Albany, on the east bank of the river, is
vapidly approaching its completion. It was opened a

Allied to live in narrow dirty streets, and are sob-

By. the arrival of the bark Einem Corning, Capt.
Corning, we are in receipt of files of the Rio Janeiro
Jornal do Comercio to the 19th of August, nice days
later than previous accounts. Quite an excitement
had existed in Rio Janeiro from the fact of the
British ship Apollo having arrived there on the Bth
of August with several cases of cholera on board.
The conduct of the captain is much praised by the
papers. It appears thtt immediately on his arrival
off the port, without waiting to communicate with the
•"..Ifhorities, ne .noisietl "allow fief, and come to
anchor rat a long distance from the Mid inttirrege
ground. He bad on board 700 soldiers, and was
bound to China. During the voyage to Rio symp-
toms of the cholera made its appearance, and be-
fore their arrival they lost 18 oases ; the last one on
the day previous. At that time, however, all were
healthy on board.
At :a meeting of the authorities and those con-
nected with the marine service, both Brazilian and
foreign, it was determined to afford the vessel all the
assistance which the exigencies of the ease required,
at the same time to take ell due precautions and pre-
ventive measures that should be deemed proper by
competent judges. The Apollo was met to Grand
Island on Brazilian coast, a place peculiarly ap-
propriate to disembark the crew and soldiers, and
perform the cleaning and painting of the vessel,
and at the fast accounts no further cases had oc-
curred.

ACCRust' bad been received from Para to the 18th ;
Mamnham, 21st; Cara, 24th of July ; and Pernam-
Imo, to the Bth of August. In all these provinces
perfect quiet reigned. At Pernambuco the elections
had passed off unusually quiet, and the government
party were in the ascendancy.
From Buenos Apes and Montevideo nothing later
had been received at Rio.
