liheral men in this that an extensive yetbnn
is required in the Constitution of the United states.
It is clear that the Executive wants power to conduct
with dignity and effect nearly all questions
of Liternatiooai policy. This was painfully . ap-
parent in the case of APLEop's trial, the Boundary
question, and the affair of the Creole. There
is a feeling springing up in Europe that it is no'
longer safe; in any matter which may affect the in-
terests of individual States, to accept the pledges of the
Federal Government. The Executive has no power
to coerce refractory States, who may at any moment
plunge the Union into all the horrors of an unjust,
unnecessary war. This evil will be a thousand times
more felt now than it could have been before the
discovery was made that we may safely traverse the
Atlantic by steam. America i 3 now our near neighbour.
We can partake of her hospitality on her own shores,
and resume our desks in Threadneedle-street, in a
shorter time than it would have taken us, thirty or
forty years ago, to make a pilgrimage from London
to old Melrose Abbey. The intercourse between
America and England is also so constant and so
regular, that we insensibly become mixed up with
every great movement by which she is agitated. Her
journals find as enthusiastic readers in London as in
New York; and in proportion as she is brought within
the range of our sympathies, are we affected by the
blemishes which we discover in her Constitution.
No doubt the action and re-action in this way is mu-
tual, and that to the nearer approximation of America
to us by means of steam navigation, ought we indi-
rectly to attribute one cause of the rapidly increasing
spread Chartism.

His lloliness Pope GREGORY XVI. addressed an
allocution to the Sacred College on the 22d ult , set-
ting forth the persecution of the Boman Catholic
Church in Russia and Poland, under the government
of the Emperor NICHOLAS. As the Russian Govern-
ment refused to allow any Papal Bull to be pub-
lished within the Imperial dominions, the seeming
silence of the Holy See attracted attention, and it is
to acquit himself of all remissness, that the POPE ad-
dresses the Sacred College, enclosing the Members
copies of the several pastoral letters sent to the Ca-
tholic clergy in Russia and Poland. The following
extract from the late allocution includes all that it
contains of interest. The papers to which the POPE
refers have not yet been made public :

Venerable Brethren,—We have already communicated
to you from this very place the grief which has so long
afflicted our mind on -account of the deplorable state of
the Catholic Church in the Russian empire. It has
happened, to our legitimate grief, that as the measures
which we have unceasingly adopted for the security of
the Catholic Church within the bounds of the Russian
dominions have received ho publicity in those regions, a
rumour has been fraudulently propagated by the here-
ditary flies of the Holy See amongst a very great num-
ber Of the faithful in those parts, that we, unmindful of
the most sacred of our duties, have silently passed over
the great calamities of those faithful, and have there-
fore almost deserted the cause of the Catholic religion.
Vie affair has reached to such a point, that we should
become, as it were, a stone of Offence and a rock of
scandal, not only to a very large portion of the Lord's
flock over which we have been placed by Divine ordi-
nance, but also to the whole Church which has been
founded upon him, as upon a firm rock, whose venerable
dignity has been exte:aled to us his successor. Under
those circumstances, our duty to God, to religion, and
ourselves, demands that we should repel far from us
even the suspicion of so unworthy a fault. We have
accordingly ordered a complete account of all that we
have done in the before.mentioned empire for the Ca-
tholic Church to be made public, by being transmitted to
each of you ; so that the whole Christian world may
clearly discover that we are in nowise wanting in our
apostolical duties.

There is no news of any interest in the French
Journals. The Constitutionnel has a long article on
the disturbances in the English manufacturing dis-
tricts, in which our operatives are blamed for not
habituating themselves to starvation, as do artisans in
that greatest of countries—la belle France.

Pants, AUG. 25.—The Moniteur of this morning has,
in its official part only, a note from Neuilly of the 24th,
stating that the Ambassadors of Austria, Portugal, and
Baden, had had private audiences of the King, to pre-
sent the answers of their respective Sovereigns to the
notification of the death of the Duke of Orleans—Con-
stitutionml.

A Berlin letter of the 18th states, in the Wurtzburg
Gazette, that the Prince Royal of Prussia, whilst inspect-
in; the troops on the lath, had a fall from his horse, but
received no injury. The same letter mentions a report
that accounts had been received in Berlin of the death of
the Russian Minister of Finance, by a pistol
:shot, from
the hands of an officer, for whom he had refused to pre-
sent a petition to the Emperor.—Galignant's Messenger.
Everybody is struck with the idea that the present
Chamber of Deputies cannot last.
The Emaneipateur of Cainbrai has the following
lines :—" The period of the dissolution is not so distant
as might be supposed ; for any minority is formidable
when it rests upon truth and the national policy ; and
let it not be forgotten, it is a minority of 94 votes that
threatens the Guizot Ministry, which is expiring, or the
Thiers Ministry, which is coming into existence. Neither
the one nor the other has sufficient strength tobrave such
a minority, supported by public opinion. Let us then
expect a speedy dissolution of the Chamber, and let us
prepare to cement with as little disadvantage as possible
on the unfavourable ground on which monopoly places
us."—Gazette de Fiance. _ . _

On Monday the Minister of War informed Mischa and
Mahomtned, the wife and son of the Arab chief El
Flamekioui, that the King had been pleased to remit the
imprisonment of this old man, who was condemned by
the Council of War of Constantina, for a letter written
by him to Abd-el-Kader, suspected of being treasonable.
Until then,-Flamelaoui had been remarkable for his filt
lity, and had even received the cross, at the request of
the Dake of Orleans, for his conduct during the expedi-
tion of the Penes de Fer. It was the Queen, says the
Debuts, whose
.kind offices are never implored in vain,
who, on this occasion, interceded with his Majesty for
the unfortunate Arab chief.

The Toulon journals of the 21st give accounts of the
squadron of _Admiral Hugon up to the 15th. It had
been at anchor at 2\jaccio, in Corsica, for two days.
Its further destination was not known.

The Belle Poule left Toulon on the 20th, to go to Brest.

A private letter from Algiers, of the 15th, published
in the Todonnals, says, "The Governor-General has
just arrived here. He has visited the plain of Stavueli,
Mahelma, Blida, and Medeah, by the road of La
Chilfa. He appears to be much pleased with his tom•."
