National Law.
ETtract from the letter of the Paris correspondent OF
the Courier 6es Etats Umis. published in that paper
yesterday, dated September Is, 1858.
The Russo-Turkish question will not probably be
the only discussed in the little Congress at Oh
mutz. Austria will easily have it in her power
there to put forward the scheme spoken of in the
Correspondence Lithographie, of Berlin, uponAthe
suhlecl OF collective declaration of the principal
powers against the thesis of international law sus-
tanned by the United States in the affair Of the re-
fugee. kOszta. have noticed that, in republishine
the article of the semiofhcial journal of Berlin the
Paris Constitutional suppresses the phrase in which
France was named among the powers who wished
to make that declaration. This suppression is sig
nifcant 1t corroborat,s the opinion of the Siece,
which refuses to believe that France, whose gov
ernments have always defended the rights of neu-
trails, would be disposed to take the part of the
power which has taken the lead in violating neu-
tral territory by causing refugee to be carried off,
without legal authority, and by a troop of bandits
To the doubts of the SiecleI will add that if !
am we'll informed, MIR. P Soule. in his interview
with MIR. Drouyn de Lhuys, has eIoquently called
his attention to the moral and material advantages
which more intimate alliance with the United
States mi ght offer to France. Notwithstanding the
present policy of It's interior administration, France
has remained the most natural and the surest ally
of the American democracy which sees in her its
instincts and It's civizing mission, which the form
OF her government may restrain but cannot stihe -
On her side, France, although imperial, has great
interest IN relying upon America against European
JeaOuses. and in strengthening the bonds of their
commercial relations for the purpose Of supplying
that which may be wanting in the affinity Of their
political relations. 1t is said that Nr. Drouyn de
Lhuys we'll understood these elevated views that
he replied to Mr.. Soule: 6 You have Just expressed
my own ideas" These germs of intimacy must
bear fruit and hope that, before long, we shall
see the two governments sign treaty which
will open France to Austrian productions, and mer
lea to French products, more amply than hitherto
At a juncture when the suggestions of Mr.. Soule
are SO sympathizingly welcomed, the cabinet of the
uleres would not band itself against that of
Washington in any demonstration which might not
appear to it imperousy required by its interest and
its duty.
1t is not alone the affair of the refugee Koszta,
Whlch engrosses attention in Germany. America
occasions them other anxeties less poignant by
the increasing number of emigrants which she at
tracts within her borders. The New Prussian Ga
zette has published an article this subject, sign
ed by Mr.. Blucher, which implores the government
to regulate this movement by laying tax on emf
grants for the benefit of the poor. The Patrie,
however, says, with reason that the German gov
ernmens are fighting between two impossibi tiles :
the impossbility of compelling the poor to emigrate
otherwise than by inhuman measures, and the i'm
possibility OF preventing, except by arbitrary re-
strlctions, the emigration of class having cer-
tain competence, and drawn towards the American
shores by the hope of increasing it, and of uniting
to the blessings of that competence those of liberty
Those Germans who cannot 90 to America in quest
of that liberty, which is mans second bread hope
that, some day, the New World viii bring it to
them and when men do not, souls do, thus emigrate
towards the prescribed land
Mr.: Soule, who has been received somewhat as
one Of their Messiahs by the democracy of Europe,
has not yet been able to quit Paris, where he has
been detained by indsposition of some days du-
ration and for the purpose Of buying complete set
OF furniture, which he takes with him to Madrid -
For the purpose of harmonizng the simplicity re-
commended by Mr.: Marcy to the representatives of
the American republic. with the usages of the court
of Madrid, so exacting in matters of etiquette, Mr.
Soule has employed one of our taors most f,mous
for his tact to make coat for him which is to be
neither that of a courtier that of peasant of
the Danube-that is to say, of the Mississippi. The
tailor has ngeniously extricated himself from this
difficulty by substituting black velvet for plain CLOTH
and silk embroidery for gold lace. 1t is very nearly
the dress of the first representatives of the American
Union at the court of Louis XVI. MIR. A Belmont,
who is also at Paris, will no doubt have similar
one made for the court of the Hague and the grand
problem set By the puritanism of Gov Marcy will
be solved to the satisfaction of everybody.
