MAncY, therefore, by no moans holds good.
Ihsides, he himself refuses to assent to what,
after all, is little better than organised and legal
piracy—the greatest scourge of war, and the chief
cause of damage to private individuals.
As Mr. MARCY has rejected the most important
of all the points, the others necessarily fall to the
ground, so far as the United States are concerned.
Ic was distinctly and positively stated by Lord
CLARENDON that any of the principles could not
be appealed to by Governments that refused their
acceptance of the whole. Without the participa-
tion of America the arrangement can be of little
practical utility, and ought, therefore, to be re-
pealed at the first favourable opportunity. Lord
CLARENDON owes it to the nation to get us out of
the difficulty in which we have been so improperly
involved.

When are we to get rid of the German Legion ?
Some have already been discharged with gratui-
ties and other benefits that might well excite the
envy of our own soldiers. But the Germans are
manifestly the favoured race, and " the mere
English " must submit to being slighted and dis-
regarded in every possible way. We may rail at
" German cormorants," but, according to the
old proverb, we must " grin and bear it " with
the greatest amount of patience possible under
the circumstances.

But it appears that we are not to get rid of
the parties quite so easily or speedily as antici-
pated. If we do not know when we have good
soldiers they know when they have good -pay-
masters, and are not disposed to surrender their
comfortable quarters without a struggle. It is
true that they have displayed great insubor-
dination, and have been always ready to
wield against. Englishmen the arms which
were never drawn againd the enemies of
England. But they have a friend at Court.
The back-stairs' influence is all in their favour.
We are told on very respectable authority
(the Essex Herald), that Bergholt Heath has been
surveyed as a place of encampment for two regi-
ments, and that negotiations have been carried on
for the hire of the Freehold Land Society's ground
near the railway station at Colchester as a place
of encampment.
It certainly was not anticipated that England
was to be saddled with a permanent corps—a
standing German Legion. It undoubtedly was
the object at the time that the obnoxious Foreign
Enlistment Bill was brought forward, but we had
hoped that the almost unanimous voice of public
opinion, clearly and unequivocally expressed,
would have put a quietus- on the scheme. We
find, however, that the snake is scotched—not
killed. " The Prince's Own" seem to anticipate
a protracted sojourn ; and now that the militia
has been disembodied, without receiving all that
they were justly entitled to, we may have argu-
ments put forward as to the propriety of retaining
the services of these mercenaries. If Lord HAlt.
DINGE still nominally presided at the Horse
Guards, allowing the control and direction
to remain in other hands, we should have
but slender hopes of getting rid of the
incubus. We have now, however, a General
Commanding-in-Chief who has an opinion of his
own, and who will not permit his name to be
sullied for acts for which he is not really respons-
ible. The debates in Parliament, articles in
public journals, discussions in the clubs, and
wherever bodies of persons are collected together,
all show the strong objections entertained, by men
of all classes and grades in society, to the garri-
sons of England being occupied by foreign mer-
cenaries. They have themselves shown that they
are rather inclined to break than to preserve the
peace. Were it even otherwise, their presence
naturally exasperates the people, and leads to
comments which, if heard, might be very unpleas-
ing to Princely ears. We can scarcely imagine
anything more impolitic than retaining them.
The cry will soon be not only, whets shall we get
rid of the Legion, but when shall we free our-
selves from the Germans ? It will find an echo
in every district in the land, and may possibly
lead to very disagreeable results. We would
.mphatically caution those in high places not to
lend themselves to anything calculated to produce
so much vexation and dissatisfaction aullngst the
tax-paying community. It may be very agree-
able to H.R.H. to have a body guard of his own
countrymen ; bill-, as he has cast his lot with
England, he must learn to conform to the feelings
and wishes of the people, who have provided a
very snug and comfortable home for himself, al-
though he may be disposed to consider them un-
founded prejudices.

Russia is said to nourish—and there can be
tittle doubt does nourish—an intense feeling of
animosity towards this country on account of the
part we took in the War. It is very ungrateful
of her if she does, for she is really very much in-
debted to us—at all events, to our Government.
No doubt she regards us as, in the long run, the
most dangerous opponent, as well as the "most
invidious rival she can have ; and attributes to
the naval strength our Government was compelled
to put forth the formidable attitude the Allied
forces were enabled to assume towards the conclu-
sion of the War; and far be it from us to deny that
she is right. What suffering she has undergone
is, in the main, attributable to us, for withou t
our transports and the military appliances
brought to hear sgainst her by means of our
shipping the Allied forces could hardly have
maintained their ground before Sebistopol.
But let her look at the credit side of the ledger,
and she will see how little cause she has to corn
plain,_ and, comaquently, how ungenerous it is on
her part to cherish animosity against us.
Had we not joined in the War and assisted our
allies, what would have been her case ? Russia
would not have been calla I upon to put forth all
her strength, and would, in all probability, have
gone on in ignorance of her weak points. For
the knowledge of these, at the present time, she
is chiefly indebted to us. To whom else can she
with so much fairness attribute the insight
she has got into the ineffective condition of her
fleets, the weakness of her fortresses, and the im-
portance to her welfare of the construction of
railways? And to whom, if not to our Govern-
' meat, or those in the background who pull the
strings that control its action, is she indebted for
" the Precious Peace" which, finding her compara-
tively unhurt, affords her the opportunity
to turn the knowledge she has acquired to ac-
count ? Reatly she must be an ingrate of the
first magnitude. Already her fleet has undergone
a reform and been augmented in numbers as well
as efficiency ; her fortresses are pronounced im-
pregnable; her troops, disciplined in the War, are
turned against the independent tribes of the
Caucasus ; and a cloud of capitalists hovers over
her frontiers, to obtain permission to intersect her
barren wastes and cultivated soil with railways,
so that ere long she must be tenfold more formid-
able in the eyes of Europe. Instead of cherish
ing animosity towards us, the name of England
ought to be engraved on her heart and carved on
every Russian fortress and railway station as that of
her greatest benefactor--one that loved Russia
hotter than herself

DEATH OF DR. BOYD.—The Scotsman announces the
death of Dr. Boyd, one of the classical masters in the
High School of E iinburgh. Dr. Boyd has been con•

Plie whole of the engineer equipment belonging to
tb.d Turkish Contingent, which is sufficient for upwards
of 20,000 men, has arrived in the River Medway, in the

home has been landed at Gillingham, and safely placed
in the powder magazine. The stores are to be selected
and put together, and handed over to the Royal Engi-

A STEAMER WRECIEED.•.- IRASEREURGH, Aug. 18.-
0a Thursday, the 14th inst., about 11 a.m., the screw
steamer Taurus, of and for Varel from Glasgow, wl
300 tons of coal for ballast, went on shore on Rattraye
Head, about nine miles south of this placej; the wea-
ther at the time was very fine and clear. She is a new
vessel, on her first voyage. The wind blew strong
yesterday from E.N.E., and still continues, with a heavy
sea, so that she is not expected to be got OM
SOUTH WALES RAlLWAY.—yesterday the proprietors
of this railway held their 23d half-yearly meeting .at the
Great Western Hotel, Paddington ; Mr. C. R. M.
Talbot, M.P., presided. The report was adopted, and
resolutions for the payment of the preference dividends
and for the payment of a dividend at the rate of 3/. 103.
per cent. for the half-year on the ordinary stock were
I passed.

- NORTH AND SOUTH-WESTERN JUNCTION RAILWAY.
—The directors report that the total receipts from all
sources during the past half-year are larger by 26i per
cent. than those of the corresponding six months of 1855;
and the balance, after deducting all outgoings and the
interest on the debentures, is nearly 48i per cent. more
than that of the 30th June, 1855. With the balance
left fr•le last half-year, the amount available for divi-
dend is sufficient to pay 2i per cent. for the past six
months, and leave the sum of 1491. Bs. Bd. to be carried
forward. This dividend is 1 per cent. more than was
declared in August last year.
REPEAL OP SLEEPING STATUTES.—Among the acts
passed in the last session was one to repeal 118 statutes
not in use, stalled sleeping statutes, including laws from
Edward T. to the reign of George 111. One act in Ed-
ward Y. was that "Night-walkers and suspected per-
sons be safely kept," and another (the let of Henry IV.)
was " For the punishment of the Mayor, &c., cf London
for defaults committed there." The titles of some of the
laws were curious.
WlLES.—Probate of the will of Mr. Henry Hoare
has been granted by the Prerogative Court of Canter-
bury ; personalty 99,0001. Mr. Thomas Dickins, Re-
gent-street, 50,0001. Mr. M. A. Borth wick, St. James's,
20,0001. Mr. Thomas Sherwood, Aldersgate-street,
16,0001. The will of Mr. Joseph Mallaby, of Loxley
Park, in the county of Stafford, personalty has been
sworn under 2,0001., within the province of Canterbury,
and under 70,0001. within the provinces of York.
THE SUSPECTED MURDER AT HAMPTON COURT.—
S'nce the coroner's inquest relative to the death of Lewis
Solornons, who was found in the Thames at Hampton
Court, with several severe stabs in his body, the police
have been prosecuting an active investigation into the
matter, but nothing has been elicited calculated to
dispel the mystery in which the affair is enveloped.
No trace of the arrival of the deceased in Hampton
Court on the day when he was missed has been dis-
covered. The surgeon who made the post mortem
examination states, that though there are several stabs
in deceased's side, the Guernsey shirt which completely
covered the upper part of his body has not been per-
forated.
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—The weather has
been very fine, with an occasional light refreshing
shower, and a rather cooler atmosphere. The wheat har-
vest progresses under very favourable circumstances ;
much has been cut, and a little carried. The ripening
has been so rapid that the quantity will not be so great
aswasexpec;,ed ; the shocks are also not so thick on the
ground,
yet it shows a good average. A great breadth
of gel early barley has been carried in fine condition ;
tied late will be rather thin. Beans are ripening fast ;
they show plenty of corn and no blight. The turnip
crop is improved, but many of the late planted are very
indifferent. Mangold is doing well, and bids fair to be a
heavy crop. All kinds of keeping are getting scarce.—

CEIIIIICHES OF COLOI7RED PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON.
A writer in the Washington Era states that there is a,
g ,ufi d-greo of thrift and industry among the coloured
people in that city, notwithstanding the discouragements
of their po-ition. Their number is ten theu,ano which
about (see-fourth of the number of whites. They own
11 places of woralt:p, the aggregate value of which is
nearly $40,000. Ten of the coloured congregations pay
their pastors on an average $650 each, besides marriaee
fees and other perquisites; making a total of $6,500
yearly for the maintenance of a preached Gospel, over
and above the expense of keeping the houses, fuel, re-
pairs, &c. There are above 1,000 children in the Sab-
bath schools, who are mostly taught by members of the
several congregations. This is a hopeful picture of their
condition.
ARRIVAL IN LIVERPOOL OF THE GOVERNOR 07
CUBA.—His Excellency Don Jose Diaz, the governor of
Cuba, was among the passengers by the royal mail
steamer Persia, wqich arrived in the Mersey, on Friday
night, from New York. His Excellency put up at the
Adelphi Hotel ; and on Monday afternoon, accompanied
by M. Thomaso, the Spanish interpreter, residing in
Liverpool, paid a visit to St. George's Hall, the assize
courts, &c., and expressed himself in high terms of
praise at the beauty and magnificent proportions of the
noble structure. In the evening his Excellency left for
Birmingham, whence he will proceed to London. Be-
fore he returns to his native country, we understand
that his- Excellency purposes visiting Manchester.—
Manchester Guardian.
ROYAL BENEVOLENCE.—The late Sir J. Milley Doyle,
K.C.8.; although decorated with honours which had
been conferred on him by the sovereigns of England,
Portugal, Spain, and the Ottoman Empire, died in very
straightened circumstances, occasioned, as he alleged,
by his not receiving a large sum of money—about
15,000&—due to him from the Portuguese Government,
as Commander-in-Chief of the Liberating Army in that
country, although his claims were admitted to be per-
lastly just, by the Duke of Palmella, the Brazilian
Consul, General Antonio de Silva, at Lisbon, Baron
Solignac, late Commander-in-Chi f of the Portuguese
Forces under Den Pedro, and also by Lords Brougham
and Cottenharn, Lord High Chancellor of England,
as being in strict accordance with the contract
made with the British Auxiliary Forces. Sir John,
at his death, left a sister ninety years old,
totally unprovidod for; and this circumstance
having been brought to the knowledge of het Ma.
jesty through the kindness of Vi count 'Palmerston, to
whom, as well as her Majesty, Sir John was personally
known, the Queen, with her characteristic kindness, has
bests graciously pleased to settle the sum of 501. per
annum as a pension for life on this aged lady, and Vis-
count Palmerston, in the kindest manner, also sent her
401. from she royal bounty fund for present contingen-
cies. Any observations on such noble actions as those
of the Sovereign and her Minister would be superfluous.
SALE or CROWN ESTATES.—About 1,500 acres of
freehold land, the property of the Crown, were offered
for sale by auction, by Messrs. Driver, of London, at
the Court-house, Epworth, on Thursday last. The pro-
perty consisted of the manors of Epworth and West
-eood, together with a quantity of arable and grass
land, farmhouses, and buildings. The sale was at-
tended by many of the leading gent'emen and solid-
ters of the Is'e of Axholme and surrounding districts.
The manors of Epworth and Westwood, with their fines,
chiefrents, &c., were sold to Mr. G. S. Lister, of Hirst
Priory, for 5,1501. Seventy-five acres of warp lard in
0 wet9n parish were sold to Mr. W. E.Hobson,sKettleby
Thorpe, for 3,7651. 179 acres of similar laud near
Flaxey were sold to Mr. Black:of Leverton, for 3,690/.
A farm in Belton and Epworth parishes, consisting of
141 acres, was bought in at 5,0001., the highest bid pre-
viously being 4,0001. A few other lots were also un- .
Fold, but the great bulk of the property was disposed of,
alld the sale realised about 23:000/.

MADRID, AUG. 19.

It is asserted by Government partisans that the
important questions which are pending will be
soon resolved.

ante of right to destroy, the Constitution, then he con-
firmed and fitiaranteed It j nti fact Afterwards cccurred
to atttnorise the pretended right oi rep!.le3.liis it ciatO
not be forgotten that, when the sad collision of the lea
of May, 1848, the culminating point of the anarchy,
placed the authority in the best oondition of strength,
the first use the King made of the victory gained wee to.
assure the nation that he would never withdraw a con-
stitution to which ho had solemnly sworn, and from
which might be expected the consolidation of order
and of the monarchy. The proclamation of tho lab
of May is engraven on the memory of all ; in it the
King recognised that the revolution was the work of
a few, and that public opinion loudly reproved and
condemned it.

" The frankness and moderation of that proclama-
tion gave a new element of life and force to the Go-
vernment. In the name of the constitution the re-
bellion was suppressed in Calabria, the Royal autho-
rity re-establi.hed in Sicily, and public crier in all
the provinces of the kingdom ; not only were all
arrears of taxes paid, but even those not due were
anticipated ; never was authority so supported by the
nation.

" What was the consequence of the happy results ?
The insitutions were calumniated after their prWigc
bad been made use of. The nation was punished after
benefiting by its moderation 1 The constitution of the
10th of February was thrown aside with the other laws
of the kingdom, and absolutism returned triumphant to
power, showing itself more insolent in fact as it felt itself
less founded in right. The abnormal state which exi,ted
before 1847 was aggravated a thousand times after 1848;
inoffensive opinions and innocent actions were alike per-
secuted. suspicion became the criterion of Government,
confiscation a means of prevention, calumny an instru-
ment of revenge, judicial forms safeconducts from pre-
scription, and oaths and Trornises broken by the reac-
tion ; the country disorganised as well as the Govern-
ment—no faith in the one, no principle in the other ;
the King removed from the centre and the official direc-
tion of affairs ; Government without a Ministry and
without responsibility ; the directors holding the place
of Ministers without confidence and without authority,
the internal and external policy opposed to the moral
and material interests of the nation. That is the true,
though not apparently true, condition of the kingdom of
Naples.

"Such a state of things cannot last long. Every one
perceives that the country is in a stage of crisis and
transition. On the one hand, the Governments of France
and England appear to interest themselves in the fate of
the 'kingdom 01 3.`Taplcm loam ay muClt tin thoy did iz,
that of Turkey ; on the other, the people are moved and
agitated between the stimulus of resentment and the
anxiety of hope.
"But what possible solution is there for this compli-
cation ? Where shall we seek the conditions of the fu-
ture and the repose of this important State of Italy ?
" Public opinion and reason are fully agreed ; now, as
in 1847, it is a question of guarantees rather than of
reform. But if the conditions of fact of civil and poli-
tical society in the kingdom of Naples are infinitely
worse since 1847, the conditions of right are nevertheless
immensely improved. The solution which it was then
necessary td await from concession or revolution is now
found altogether in the strictest and purest legality.
"The constitutional law of February 10, 1848, sanc-
tioned and irrevocably sworn to by the King, has be-
come the public law of the kingdom, and forms the com-
plement as well as the sanction of all the general system
of laws. If the constitution is not put in execution that
is no proof that it does not exist ; it exists in the condi-
tion of all the other laws of the monarchy, in the condi-
tions of right, not in those of fact. Absolutism, with
the support of power, has usurped the place of all the
laws; the cessation of absolutism and the execution of
the laws, that is the word of order of all honest men who
form the great majority of the kingdom of Naples. The
only solution, then, is in the execution of the constitu-
tion of February 10, applying and modifying the prinei-
pies in the various organic laws composing it, according
to the necessity of the times and the lessons of experi-
ence ; with it all the laws will become a fact, without it
all promises are false. .

"Lord Clarendon said, in the English Upper House, in
the sitting of the 14th of July, that the British Govern-
ment had recommended to the King of Naples a better
administration of justice, an amnesty, and toleration of
inoffensive opinions ; and yet the answer was anything
but satisfactory. If any other proof were wanting, that
alone would be sufficient to show that the Government
of Naples thinks the actual system of administration
the best, and therefore intends pertinaciously to persist
in it ; and, as that advised by the English Ministry is in
the spirit and in the letter of the law of the kingdom,
the refusal of the Government of Naples to accede to
the counsel betrays on its part an open resolution to re-
main in illegality and continue arbitrary power.
"But, supposing be should bs induced to concede
what is asked, what advantage would result to the
country ? The King would in appearance concede that
which was already established by law, without by so
doing destroying or curbing arbitrary power. How
could the better administration of justice be otherwise
more assured than by the existing tutelary forms of pub-
lic discussion ? How can the tolerance of opinion be
better protected than it is protected now by the actual
system of the penal laws ? Nevertheless, Europe' is
aware of what is the administration of justice and the
tolerance of opinion in the kingdom of Naples. Per-
haps it is thought that the repetition of a law adds force
and efficacy to its prescription. But who can assure its
execution ? Will France and England constitute them-
selves the edsampions of legality and good government,
by retaining permanently their fleets in the Bay of
Naples ?

" It must not be forgotten that in the kingdom of the
Two Sicilies people no longer believe in anything,
neither in men, nor things, nor in oaths, nor in laws.
Want of confidence has entered into the minds of all—
of men of all classes and all ages. Fifty years of oppres-
sion and of undeceiving have caused loss of faith in
justice and virtue. To cure this evil which to the miseries
of civil and political life adds the aridity of scepticism,
paralysing every principle of expansion and progress,
the sole and unique means is that of supporting the
Government of the State with institutions that may
supply the want of confidence by the aid of reason:
The people suspect the good faith and loyalty of
the Legislature ? Well, let them name it themselves.
They doubt the regularity of the administration ? Let
them either directly or indirectly fix the rules. They
cry out against the weight of the taxes ? Let them con-
sent to them and discuss them. In a word, suspicion
is only cured by publicity, doubt by discussion, want of
confidence by reason. The constitutional system is the
only suitable one in such circumstances; for Naples it
is not. only a necessity, but happily it is still a legality.
" But is a constitutional system attainable at' Naples ?
Certainly there is an obstacle which opposes it not
coming from the country ; on one side, the trial made
in 1848 and 1849 was neither made outright nor in
good faith, since those times were days of anarchy for
one party and perfidy for the other, of passion and
agitation for all; on the other side, the success of such
a ostetn in Piedmont bears witness how much more
tas ly it would take root in this part of Italy, which
is inure advanced thin any other on the road of sx-
perience and of civil progress, and would not find itself
in the serious difficulties of foreign and domestic policy
as Piedmont did, and from which she was only saved
by the good faith of the Government being able at
last to overcou e them.

" The sole, it must not be unknown, the positive
obstacle to the execution of the constitution in Naples,
exists in regions which, in the normal state of things,
can only be reached by diplomacy, and which the in-
terests of Europe can alone overcome without a re-
yolut;on. If this obstacle should disappear ; if, con-
formably to public necssity, the constitution- of the
10th of February and, by it, all the laws of the
kingdom arrive at execution, perhaps it may be that
the nation will succeed some day in putting itself in the
path of justice and progress ; but certainly without the
constitutional guarautee there is no hope of eitherjustice
or repose ; the laws will rcmain a fiction, and the only
future presented to the country is an abyss of despotism
and revolution.

"The great Powers of Europe cannot assuredly he
indifferent to a state of things pregnant with such a
suture. A. revolution here might probably cause war
in Italy and complications in Eur ipe, and it is for that
reason that the interests of general peace require that
the empire of the law should be restored is Naples, and
the obstacles which oppose it boldly removed. This is
how we understand the truth of the grand principle that
Lord Clarendon proclaimed at the Paris Conference—
`There can be r.o peace without justice'—and which
the diplomacy of the Western Powers may take as a
rule to guard the scarcely sketched edifice of peace. It
'is to he hoped that the love of a true and durable peace
will so prevail in the policy of France and England
that they will not bedtate even for a moment before the
ecru: !es of a pretended right—the right of non•interven-
to.,—which it is now sought to make the bulWark of
lxtrb,iristn and tyranny. The Holy Alliance never was
stopped by such scruples.
"The power of France and England has become in•
contestably preponderant in Europe ; the maritime
power of England renders it especially preponderant in
the kingdom of Naples.
"Now, every Power bears with it responsibility, and
every responsibility the right of action."

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.

The Liverpool and Philadelphia screw steam-ship
City of Baltimore has arrived with advices from
Philadelphia to the 7th inst., and 296 passengers.
On the 10th inst., in lat. 4258 N., long. 60.35 W.,
she spoke the screw steam-ship Kangaroo, hence'
for Philadelphia.
The President had communicated to the Senate
a reply to the resolution calling for information re-
lative to the recent affairs in San Francisco, toge-
ther with the correspondence on the subject. A
letter from the Governor of California, asking for
arms, had been referred to the Attorney-General,
but the President had insuperable objections to the
demand.

Mr. Cushing argued that obstruction to the con-
