 American in London, dated Sept. p, 1855.
 France is omnipotent in this hemisphere She has humbled Russia by her arms, Englanc by her diplomacy.
 The last resnng branches of the Bourbon family are to be dethroned. Jerome Napoleon is to be King of Spain, and Lucia Murat King of Naples This is the programme which ha been prepared at the Tuilcrics
 Jerome Napoleon has been over here, some what in cog. He re- embarked at Woolwch fo Froncc on Monday. It is whispered in diplo matic circles that the object of his visit was tc open negotiations for marriage with the Prin- cess Royal, who will be fifteen years old in No vember. His advances would, of course, be in. dignantly repeled if Great Britain were in re- ality any longer an independent nation. But this, practically, she is not. She is bound hand and foot, soul and body to France. She know, l it, and acknowledges it in her action. All hel intelligent subjects with whom have convers ed upon the ject admit that she can adopt nc foreign policy adverse to the interests of France her recognized superior. In the matter o the marriage, therefore, if Louis Napoleon wills it, Victoria has no alternative but to consent If 1t shall occur, one of the conditions conse- quent will be that the first decree which Jerome Napoleon issues at Madrid will be that for the ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN CUBA! This you may mplicitely rely upon. It was the mean. ing of the GuildhalI speeches of Louis Napo- leon, last summer.
 The Know Nothings may cease their outcry against mmigrantr and foreigners. They may want theirlabor hereafter but they may as wei call upon the "spirts of the vasty deep" tc come to their aid. With this year there will be measurably a termination to emigration to the U S. from Europe. Labor is in extraordinary request, not only throughout this realm but al so on the continent. In every branch of the iron industry wages have been advanced volun tary by the employers, ten per cent, within the last few days. In Ireland common field hands are receiving from $1 to $1 25 per day There is wonderful shortness of supply of la borers, resulting from the wars. The low est estimate of the destruction of life attend ant upon hostilities is estimated at .fve hun dred Mousand persons capable of performing military duty. This, consequently, is almos equal to taking that number from industria pursuits.
 And for what has such sacrifices of the blood of humanity been made? To grat!fy the ambi ton, heartless, ruthless ambition of potentates Russia fights for aggrandizement, France fol glory, Great Britain for the balance of pow er" Christianity weeps in the presence o such spectacle. None worse occurred under the worst rulers in the worst ages It is emi- nently calculated to bring all regal forms of go vernment into utter disrepute. If rulers wan tonly butcher their subjects they should pre- pare themselves uncomplainingly, to be butcher ed in their turn. Retributive justice may be slow, but it is certain. The crimes of the wa have to be expiated. England has precipitat ed herself into as bad condition as her mos relentless enemy could desire her to be placed She unsheathed the sword in defense of tht "balance of powcr," and she has secured he object with vengeance. She has assisted il giving France twenty times as much strengtl to do her harm as Russia could have ever ex ercised, even in possession of Turkey.
