The English and French Intervcnsien ss'
American AfEairs-The Duty OF ths UnAced
States 60 Rep~siacauissn.
The more we consider this Cuban Intervention
by England and France, the better are we satisfied
that, with little discretion, we shall frustrate a
meditated attack on reputlicanism throughout the
world. By the memory of past obligations, old,
but stin subssting, we should refuse TO break with
the French people but any consideration of graft
tude, however weighty, is dust in the balsnce,
| compared with the consequences Of such rupture
to mankind. II will be frenzy to throw q way the
victory of selfgov eminent, which yet remains in
the const tuition Of the 18th November, ls1s well
established in France, and held by her in trust,
also, for the masses of Europe. In red COLI
sicn with US that constitution may yield to the
fortunes Of prohigste usurper, who aets mechapi-
cally upon the designs of England.
The Cuban Intervention is bat further step in
the system of despotsn established by all the Euro.
pean powers, and we must take the proper stand
now, with respect to the whole future external
policy of the United States. We have had none.
Come 70 mans estate, we still affect the language
and timidity Of a child among strangers. That
must cease, and We should speak, and think, and
act hereafter with the decision of reemen and our
conduct should not be from impulse and hazard,
nor by its and starts but we should have our doc
trine, means, and our ends, in foreign in do
mestic Affairs. In short, a system Of external
policy must speedily be organized and adhered to
firmly by the people Of the Unitei States. We will
probably decide TO have a new law of nations; the
old one being sfete for many reasons two Of which
may be stated: First, the United States not
consulted when the code was adopted, nor was the
principle Of popular sovereignty represented at all
among its irresponsible authors 1t stands on the
fallacy of sovereignty in a unit, instead of the
mas it stands not any base at all, but upon
apex Such an inversion de nands correction and
il is for to insist upon it, and that very shortly,
aud very emphaticaly. The first Of few royal
families must fall before the will sf the people, and
instead Of a heap of jargon, men chosen for the
purpose must propose a rational substitute. But,
secondly, the la Of nations was repudIa.ed at vi
enna, and most inadmissiole interpretations were
made in it the arbitrary parcelling out of Europe
in ISIS. Before that period, the independence Of
nations was received truth, with which the
srop ger States were content, and professsd to be
governed. Since, there has been no such thing.
The code was torn 70 pieces by violence, with the
partition of Poland, and does ne. exist to bind any
body. We shall directly have occasion to state,
briefly, what kind Of notions the congress OF despots
there assembled had of national rights. II will
help to understand the proposed Intervention of
! European powers here, of which the ostensible
agents only are announced, clothed, however, with
authority to speak for all the governments who
co-opera.ed in ISIS.
Cuba has always been q most sensitive point in
the despotlc prog'amme, and nothing could surpass
the futteng Of the London press of all colors and
the rawlings Of the tories, in both houses Of Parlia
men., when it was menaced by Lopez the FIRST time.
Mr.. DiraeN rose, on the 7th Of June, 1850, in the
Commons and asked, most incisivey, If the govern
men. had any notice Of "the buccanee-ing expedi-
tionr' Palmerston's reply was worth noticing, as
proof of the vigilance Of British attention to Cuba
| He said he had seen the Spanish Minister, who had
arrived in town yesterday, and had already had a
conference. Amongst the "forcible feebles' of the
Lords, the excitement was extreme; our favorte
