TUESDAY EVENIG, AUGUST 12, 1862.

_~i.

pretext of raising revenue to maintain the Government,
Southern industry was taxed to support Yankee workshops.
With this they waxed fat and grew insolent until their in-
solence became unbearable.

We choose no longer to submit to their rule, and so
sought simply to Withdraw from all political association
with them. We ask nothing of them. All we want is
simply to be left and let alone; and the simple fact that
they should attempt to force us to remain in political asso-
ciation with them, is proof enough as to the inequality of
benefit which the old Union conferred upon the two sec-
tions.

The fuss and turmoil aboilt slavery is merely incidents
in this unhappy state of affairs. In most of the Northern
States it is against the law for a freed negro to come there.
They will not allow a negro from the South to dwell among
them.

and which is unequalled by any other iron-eased ships in
the world. The only important differences between these
vessels consist in certain variations in the extent of the
armour with which they are to be plated. The Warrior
and Black Prince are plated partially ; the Northumber-
land, Minotaur, and Agincourt will he completely covered,
and the Achilles will be like the Warrior, but further pro-
tected between wind and water with the belt'hich I have
had the honour to introduce. In order to meet thesechanges,
the dimension of the vessels have also been correspond-
ingly varied, for the very purpose of securing a uniform
speed in all, that the whole might act together as one colos-
sal fleet.

Aftmsupplying the North with whaiever they required
of our produce, and buying of the North, upon their own
terms, whatever we required of their manufacture, there re-
mained annually to the South a quantity of surplus produce
which requires 20,000 ships and more than 200,000 seamen
to carry abroad and distribute among the markets of the
world.

In the handling of this produce Northern factors and
Northern shipping did the principal part. Besides this the
laws of the Union gave the North the preference over all
the world in the markets of the South. These were great
advantages, and the North waxed fat and strong upon them.
Their correlatives were wanting to the South—for the South
could sell dearer and buy cheaper in other countries.
twelve millions of such customers as inhabit the South
are enough to make any people rich, and they are such as
no nation can afford to lose. But let secession be acknow-
ledged as an accomplished fact and the North will lose this
preference, this trade, and taest, customers, with all the
benefits derived from their political association with us. It
is therefore not for the negro, but solely on account of pecu-
niary and selfish considerations, that the North is waging
this war. She is vainly seeking to compel us to renew an
association that we abhor.

Hitherto we have acted purely on the defensive. We have
not sought to invade the North, but panoplied in the triple
armour of a just cause we have stood still, and ever since
the battle of Manassas (now a year ago) quietly looked on
while the enemy raised his armies and completed his pre-
parations for the war in his own way. Having destroyed
his " grand army," we shall now carry the war into Africa,
I hope, compelling him to withdraw his forces from our bor-
ders and to sue for peace.

But peace is very difficult at present, I admit ; in the
North reason has lost its sway over the mind of the people.
and the judgment of their rulers has been taken away. In
the South passions run high. Therefore, in the present
temper of the two peoples it would be impossible just now
for them to agree upon the preliminary step to any lasting
peace—viz., the adjustment of boundaries. We are, there-
fore, drifting into a war of exhaustion.
There are rumours of an armed intervention from your
side ; but upon what basis this intervention is to take place
the many-tongued dame has not deigned to enlighten us.
Any such intervention cannot but work mischievously if
it fail to recognise the right of the people in the disputed
states of Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri
freely and fairly to decide for themselves whether they will
cast their lot with the North or the South. Neither can it
be supposed that intervention would recognise any dismem-
berment of present states.

With us this is not a war of conquest, but a war for a
principle which is dear to every French heart—a principle
by which your Emperor sits upon his great throne—the
right of every people to be governed in their own way.
The strong arm of mighty nations may force a peace upon
some other basis, but any such peace will prove a hollow
truce.

It itshould be objected that in this fleet there are but six
ships, I answer that six such ships are enough to form a
fleet. At the most moderate estimate they win cost more
than two millions sterling, and therefore, in money value,
no:less than in offensive and defensive powers, will be equi-
valent to 20 of our old 100 gun line-of-battle ships. It is
easy to say there ought to be a much larger number of such
vessels, and that is a subject upon which different opinions
nosy fairly be held ; but in my humble judgment it would

built of timber (like most of the French vessels), and then
plated with iron; while the remaining four are to be
of iron throughout. The five plated timber ships are the
Prince Consort, the Royal_ Alfred, the Royal Oak, the
Ocean, and the Caledonia, all of which will steam from 12
to 121 knots. When we consider that they are to be plated
all over from stem to stern, and will therefore each carry
a large number of protected guns, we might without
exaggeration consider that of themselves they are not
unworthy to be called a formidable fleet. But there
is not the shadow of a reason why we should not join with
them the iron ships Hector and Valiant, which are as nearly
as possible of the same tonnage, and which are expected to
steam at just the same rate. The remaining two of the nine
vessels are the Defence and the Resistance, each of which
is of 3,700 tons burden, and have actually steamed at 114
knots. So that here we have another splendid fleet of nine
—or, to say the least, of seven—well-matched vessels, all
much more nearly equal than those which composed our
fleet during the wars, and all undoubtedly capable of co-
operating in the most reliable and perfect manner. What
can possibly be meant by saying, under these circum-
stances,
ertlhyatunwaebarle
to n e"
With regard to the Defence and the Resistance, a most
singular error has obtained currency. In his pamphlet on
nbouedcitnurg
e no. fleet at all" I am wholly
and
" The Fleet of the Future " Mr. Scott Russell gives an
imaginary conversation between Lord Clarence Paget and
the constructors of the navy, with the view of showing how
the designs of these vessels were originated—a conversa-
tion which is intended apparently to reflect exclusively
upon the Secretary to the Admiralty, but which seems to
me to indicate so poor a spirit, and such very attenuated
conversational powers on the part of the constructors that,
if I were they, I certainly should not thank the author for
his representation. lam sure Mr. Scott Russell is not
fair to those gentlemen when, in answer to a request from
Lord Clarence Paget, he makes them humbly say, or
rather ejaculate—" My Lord, I am sorry, but, if you
please, it can't be done." lam certain this is not the
language of real life, but imaginary conversation with a
vengeance.

There has, permit me to say, been already at least one
error committed by France and England in this war. When
these difficulties commenced all Europe viewed them
through Northern media. This was natural enough, per-
haps, for all Europe depended upon Northern statements
for information concerning us. These have now been found

to be erron?.ous ; but not until France and England had
committed themselves to a blockade that was against all
rule. The effects of that blockade upon our industry is
likely to prove lasting, and certain classes in France and
England may yet find ceuse to rue it, even if ministers do
not.

You can well conceive that the blockade affords most
effective encouragement to home manufactures in the
South. The energies of the people have, by it, been
diverted into new channels of industry, and manufacturing
establishments are Tepidly springing up on all hands.
So that, when France and England decided to respect
Lincoln's paper blockade, they unwittingly, perhaps, called
influences into play which are rapidly converting us into
a manufacturing as well as an agricultural people. The
operatives in your workshops may yet have cause to
lament a policy which cannct fail to call into existence
many rival establishments to your own, and which would
not have found existence but for the course which the two
Governments thought proper to pursue.
As for the preservation, restoration, or reconstruction
of the Union, it is simply an impossibility. Laying aside
all questions of military power and prowess between the
contending parties, the mere hatred of one for the other,
and which is obvious to every intelligent being who has
attentively observed the events of the contest as they have
developed themselves, is enough to destroy all hopes for
any such union.

Harmony between the states, goodwill among the
people are essential to any such reconstruction or preserva-
tion, and you see enough even from your distant stand-point
to satisfy you that we are two people, and that so long as
our favourite doctrine holds good—viz., that every rightful
Government rests on the consent of the governed, no power
on earth can unite us again or make us one.
But enough of this.
Let me thank you for remembering me with your wind
charts of the Eastern Coast of South America. I had, as
you know, watched their progress in your hands, with a
lively and active interest, and had waited the publication
with anxious solicitude. Imagine ray disappointment at their
loss. Nothing from you save the letter to which this is
an answer has reached me since I left Washington.
I am rather proud of the abusive attacks which you
tell me have teen heaped upon me in the North. You
generously denounce them, but I draw consolation from
them, for it shows that I am of some importance still
in the eyes of the Yankees. They have offered a reward for
my head, and classed me among the chief rebels in the
cause of civil liberty; and so they have honoured me with
a place among the great rebels of whom our Washington
was first, foremost, the greatest, and the best. What he
fought for, for that I contend.

Adieu, my friend, and let me hear from you, and believe
me yours, most truly,

M. F. MAURY.
Viscomte de Chabanne, admiral French navy, Paris.

OUR I-RON-C'ASED FLEET.

But to return to the vessels. Mr. Scott Russell does them
great injustice when he says they are no better than " what
are technically called mere tubs." It is true that they are
very imperfectly protected ; that their ports are compara-
tively low; and that their speed is less than 12 knots. But
this is all that can be said against them. As regards their
lines, they are really most excellently formed vessels ; and
it seems to me a great exaggeration to pronounce a ship with
ports seven feet above the water capable of steaming at
what many consider a very good speed, and formed so as to
behave admirably in a sea-way, a " mere tub." I deny
altogether that a ship of this kind is what we technically
understand by that expressive phrase. It seems to have
satisfied Sir Morton Peto, however, for in his speech in the
House of Commons on the Ist of the month he spoke of
these ships as " two of the veriest tubs imaginable," and so
gave Lord Clarence an opportunity of telling him truthfully
that he did not understand what he was talking about.
I do not think I need extend these remarks upon Mr.
Scott Russell's letter any further except to say that I agree
with him in believing that we have wasted money in' build-
ing so many unprotected wooden ships. Even on this sub-
ject, however, much might be said in mitigation of a harsh
judgment. We must remember that the Board of
Admiralty are compelled to rely greatly upon their profes-
sional advisers, and professional shipbuilders are only just
now awakening to the fact that we can build small iron-
cased vessels as well as large. I was myself told only
three months ago, by naval constructors in high po-
sitions—and very able naval constructors, too—that the
thing was impossible. Fortunately, however, it is not only
possible, but practicable, and even easy.
I do not feel at liberty to speak more fully upon this
point at present ; but 1 have succeeded very recently in
demonstrating that even without the single experimental
f€ ature introduced into the Enterprise (the erection of an
iron top-side upon a wooden bottom) we can build cor-
vettes, sloops, and even gunboats, either of wood or of iron,
protected with iron armour of the usual kind; and not
partially, or imperfectly protected, either, but absolutely
coated all over from end to end. This is a result so satis-
factory and so momentous that, until it was actually se-
cured, I scsrcely hoped to see it accomplished. The effect
of it will be to sweep away at a stroke the necessity for
making our iron-cased ships so extravagantly large and
costly, and to enable us to seud our flag all over the globe
in shot-proof vessels of all sizes, as perfectly adapted to our
various necessities as our wooden fleets ever were.

is eutitled to the utmost con2ide, •It takes
the form of this answer to the South •
—" We are
not prepared to dispute the justieo of your claim,
but to grant it would really injure you. Instead of
ending the sufferings of your people it would stimu-
late the efforts of your adversaries and prolong the
war." Nothing can be more reasonable than this
view, and it is unquestionably sound if applied to
recognition on the part of England alone, while
other Powers hold back. Such a step would be pre..
judicial to all parties, and in the North it would
have the effect of a personal affront. But this is a
measure which no one recommends ; that which is
advocated is not English, but European recognition.
This would be void of the sting of personality. A
man may be incensed at the action of another man
when the same action on the part of a multitude
will not create a feeling of irritation, but one of
awe. There would be a sense of humiliation in
any deference to the action of one Power, which
could not be aroused by the concurrent action of
several Powers.

What, then, would be the effect in the North of
the only kind of recognition which is recommended
—that of two or more leading Powers ? On this
point no evidence can be better than that of Ameri-
cans themselves. Why is it dreaded in the North
if it would supply them with the stimulus they need
so much ? Why is it deprecated by the advocates
of the North if it would do their cause invaluable
service ? So also with the Southerner, who should
be able to judge more correctly than ourselves.
How comes it that he desires it if dangerous to his
own interests ? Here we have the evidence of those
best informed upon the subject, and between whom
there is no collusion. When testimony from oppo-
site sides and hostile witnesses agrees it is regarded
in every court of justice as very conclusive evidence.
If we examine the subject in detail it will be diffi-
cult to discern how political capital could be made
out of so solemn and adverse a fact. It would be
the aim of a recruiting sergeant to conceal rather
than parade it. If an Irishman will not enlist for
his love of fighting and a bounty of £4O, his objec-
tion to lodging in a swamp or returning short of an
arm is stronger than any rhetoric will overcome.
Words will only be wasted where money fails. But,
in reality, the continuance of the war will not rest
with orators or New York newspapers, but with
Mr. Lincoln and those who advise him. When-
ever the day arrives for peace it will be decided at
Washington, as in the case of the Trent, and the
country will acquiesce at once. Hence, the real ques-
tion is what effect will be produced on those at the
head of affairs, on men above the reach of declama-
tion, and well aware of the difficulties and dangers
that surround them. Every such man knows that
European recognition ends the contest, unless it be
continued without an object, or a hope. There have
been many similar cases in the New World, and in
all of them recognition has sealed the result. It is
dated—others who had an office and lost it. In
order to get rid gradually of the wholesale system
of corruption which was fostered by the old Govern-
ment, Northern employes had to be brought down,
especially for the higher posts, and they are natu-
rally looked upon as intruders who take away their
bread from others.

TIDE TUSCABORA FEDERAL WAIT
STE.4IWER.

----- - - =r -~-~--..._

The Federal screw war steamer Tuscarora, Capt.
Augustus Craven, arrived in Kingstown harbour
on Saturday, at 1.30 p.m. She took up a position
somewhat near the mouth of the harbour, the place
usually occupied by war vessels, and hoisted the
American ensign, the Stars and Stripes, at her
wizen-peak. At two o'clock the captain's gig was
sent ashore for the American Consul, Mr H. B.
Hammond, who went off to the ship, and remained
on board her during the afternoon. The Tusca-
rora is 1,300
,tons burden, barque rigged. Her
exterior is pltin and unpretending The masts
and rigging appear in good proportion with the
hull, which is sometimes not the case with large
steamers. The hull has a slight sheer, as it is termed
nautically, the bow and stern being somewhat higher
than the midships. She is one of forty war vessels,
ranging up to 1,500 tons burden, that were built by
the Federal Government in six months ; and in 90
days after her keel was laid her captain took the
command of her. Her dimensions are—leng th 130
feet, beam 33 feet, and draught of water 13 feet. She
carries coal for 20 days. The engines are 250-horse
power, and can work up to 400. They fit compactly
in the engine-room, are almost entirely below the
water-line, and are also sheltered by t"ie coal-bunkers
on each side. As seen from alongside,and when viewed
on board, the Tuscarora seems a solidly built and
well appointed vessel. Her deck is flush with the
exception of a small forecastle, on which a sentry
mounts guard. Her armament is altogether on the
upper deck, and consists of eight guns. Of these
six are heavy 32-pounders, and are run out three
on each side from the after bulwarks. The remain-
ing two are the principle feature of the ship. They
are Dahlgrcn guns, placed on pivots, and throw
1 shells of 1351 h weight. The bulwarks alongside
each of these guns strip off, so as to admit of their
1 being worked. The after-part of the lower deck,
exclusive of the engine-room, is devoted to the offi-
cers' cabins. The captain's cabin is on deck at the
stern. The forepart of the lower deck contains the
quarters of the crew, the hospital, the cook-house, &c.
The space between the decks is not very high, The
armoury is on deck, alongside the captain's cabin,
and contains cutlasses, rifled muskets, Minie breech-
loading rifles, and a supply of revolvers ; the latter
being kept loaded. The crew are about 200 in num-
ber, of whom a very considerable proportion are
Irish and Irish-American, and there are also a few
English and Dutch, During Saturday afternoon
the public were freely admitted on board, and were
received by all with the utmost courtesy. The ves-
sel will remain four or five days for the purpose of
doing some repairs. The Tuscarora is stated to be
in these waters for the purpose of watching, and if
possible capturing, a large steamer lately built by
Messrs. Laird and Co., and supposed to be intended
for the service of the Confederate States. This
vessel, called " No. 290," sailed from the Mersey
within the last few days, and the Tuscarora, then
in Southampton, weighed, and gave chase to her,
but the object of pursuit escaped through
the north channel, Another steamer, which
sailed on the same day from Plymouth, called the
Merrimac, and supposed to have guns and cargo
intended for Confederate use on board, was also an
object of pursuit by the Tuscarora. The latter vessel
was in Holyhead and Queenstown previous to her
arrival here, and she was warned to leave both ports
within 24 hours. She will not be allowed to coal
here without special permission. The public will
be admitted on board the Tuscarora this day.
Saunders's News _Letter.

There is nothing in all this but what was to be
expected after so sudden a transition from one to
another Government, and from what remained of
the evil effects of the former sy stem ; yet all these
are facts which make the position of the Govern-
ment in face of the agitation extremely difficult.
They may reckon on ninety-nine out of a hundred
against the reaction; against a movement headed by
Garibaldi the proportion would be very different.
How deep the feeling for their liberator still is
appears in the most trivial circumstances—for in-
stance, the effect produced whenever tile Garibaldi
March is played. Every itinerant band thinks it
its duty to begin and en.l with it, and is sure to
earn applause, however bad the performance be.
There is another feature which complicates mat-
ters, and this is that the masses are convinced that
the apparent dissension between the King and Cali-
baldi is merely the revival of the old game of MO,
and this suspicion is strongly spread in the army
too. For instance, the regiments of the Reggio
Brigade which left Turin for Sicily openly expressed
this belief. There are 2,000 Garibaldian officers
distributed in the army, who will never be per-
suaded that their duty could call them to act against
their old captain. Finally, the youth of the last
two conscriptions have their share of the spirit
which impels so many young men to enlist for
another campaign without even troubling them-
selves with the inquiry where they are to go; such
is the blind faith which they put in Garibaldi.
The movement, which is as yet in its infancy at
Naples, carries away everything and everybody in
Sicily. Even Messina, which has less of the African
blood, is in a fever of expectation at the arrival of
Garibaldi, and shows a spirit which it would be diffi-
cult to check by force. Yesterday the proclama-
tion of the King was torn down wherever it was
posted up, and this morning the Carabinieri had to
watch to prevent the thing from being repeated. It
is not a question of a Garibaldian party, for every
one you speak to is of the same opinion. It is the
old worship which has revived, perhaps, more fer-
vently than ever. If the Northern army assisted
in reducing Capua and Gaeta, all that was done in
Sicily was to all intents and purposes Garibaldi's
own work. The strange thing is, that with all the
int( rest which the subject excites, nothing is known
either to Government or private individuals of
Garibaldi's movements. All that is known is that
he left Palermo on Thursday, and that he is on his
way to this place by the sea coast. Several articles
directed to persons in his suite have already arrived,
but when he is to come is not known. From
here he is to go to Catania, and thence to continue
his round in the island. But these are all on (Zits,
for he is essentially the man of impulses who
.de-
cides on his movements according to the inspira-
tion
of the moment. Never was there a greater
necessity for both sides to be rightly inspired
step in a false direction, and there is danger of the
work hitherto so successful being checked, or even
undone. There can be little doubt that the circum-
stances connected with the Sarnico affair. were such
as to destroy the confidence of
Garibaldi in the
Government. The King alone, it is my firm belief,
can once more heal the breach, but it must be done
soon. There are, as usual, influences on both sides
which endeavour to widen the breach, but they
would sink into the background.

THE IMPERIA LISTS AND THE TAETING

We have been permitted to publish the following
extract from a private letter from Shanghai, dated
June 3. The writer has the best means of informa-
tion as to what passes among the Chinese
"The English and French, ca-operating with
Colonel Ward's men, who now number about 3,000,
have made several expeditions into the country;
before going out the Chinese authorities gave the
Admiral to understand that if he would retake cer-
tain cities Chinese troops would garrison and hold
them. Accordingly, Lading and Nandsing were
taken ; much ammunition was used up, and very few
rebels killed. That done, it became known that
there were no Chinese troops to garrison the cap-
tured towns. Our people held Kading for a while,
but General Staveley became alarmed, and fearing
that while he and his men were at Kading the rebels
would quietly walk into Shanghai, he decided on
evacuating the place; accordingly, he last week re-
turned to Shanghai.
" The people here labour under a great delusion.
They imagine, from thepagnacious manner in which
the Taepings are prowling about Shanghai, and get-
ting into scrapes with foreigners, that the Taeping
cause is increasing in strength, and that, having
taken the whole of the rest of China, they now
want and must have Shanghai. No such thing;
the idea is quite erroneous. The fact is that the
Chinese Imperialist troops, put in motion from
Hangkow, and operating eastwards down the
Yangtze valley, have been so well led that they
have carried everything before them. They took
Nankin last September; from that they drove the
rebels down the river towards Wuhu ; at Wuhu
the rebels made a stand, but ten days ago the Itre.
perialists retookliruhu and drove the rebels towards
Nankin, A steamer has just now come in. withi\an thekin

are marching steadily. Thus, it is not the
rebel cause
which is gaining ground. The pug-
nacity of the Taepings about Shanghai must be
accounted for in another way, and that is that in
their present position they are hemmed in ; they
must either take to the water, stand at bay, or
make a dash southwards along the coast line. Now,
they object, of course, to go into the water; they
are chary of going southward, as the Allege of
mountains that cringe the southern borders of the
Chekeang province present great obstacles to a
comfortable march ; their only other resource is to
stand at bay. Their numbers around here arc great,
and the men that are here are their best fighting
men, who came from the south originally,
who have
traversed the whole country, and fought in every
province ; here they all are, hemmed in, and the
circuit is daily becoming more circumscribed. They
begin to find it no easy task to procure provisions,
and thus they are cutting about ferociously in all
directions within the limits of the boundary I have
indicated. I think they are almost done for; and
I believe that in two years more the supporters of
