FRANCE AND BELGIUM.

We find the following items of intelligence in
the Courier DIES Flats UniS, of New York,
bearing date of Paris, April 5, 1855:
"By decree dated the 3lst of March, M.
Thouvenel minister penipotentiary of the first
class and director Of political affairs, will be
charged, during the absence Of the Minister
Secretary of State of Foreign Affairs, with the
direction Of the labors of this department and
with intercourse with the diplomatic body.
The following appears in the Moniteur:
DAT the request Of his imperial highness
the Prince Napoleon, and conformably to the
instructions of the government of the Emperor.
the French Minister on the 22d ultimo placed
in the hands Of the Belgian Minister of Foreign
Affairs an official complaint against the editor
of the pamphlet published at Brussels in re-
gard to the Crimean expedition, and calumin-
ously entitled: "Men,oir addressed TO The Cor
e11amem fhis Majesty The Emperor Napoleon
III by a General Officer This complaint was
Immediately transmitted to the judicial authori.
ties
"The Constitutional and other journals pre-
cede the notification Of the Moniteur with these
lines:
"Some foreign editors having pushed the
disposition to conjecture so far as TO attribute
to Prince Napoleon the pamphlet relative to the
war in the East, to which the attention Of the
Belgian government has already been called
prosecutions have just been ordered against
these editors, as will appear from the following
notification which we find in the Moniteur."
The Belgian ministry, as we learn from lie
Progres, (another French journal published at
New York; is constituted as follows Foreign
affairs, Viscount Villain XIV; interior, M. de
Decker; justice, M. Nothomb; war, M. Crendl;
public works, M Dumon; finances, M. Mercier
This is the ministerial combination which
was abandoned by NJ. de Decker, since modi-
fed by the adjunction Of M. Oh. Villain XIV,
whose resistance has been overcome, and by
the return OF M. MERCER to the department Of
finances. Taken as a whole, this ministry be.

tholic party.

Satan Rebukinp Sin.

The London Times is struck with a holy
horror at what it chooses to designate the 40.
gressive character Of the United States diplo.
macy, the encroaching tendency OF our Govern
ment, the annexing proclivity of our policy.
The ''thunderer" was never in a worse way.
He tells us that IT is all well enough and to be
expected in barbarousy impelled Russia, that
she should go in for all these shocking aggres.
sions and encroachments and annexations of
territory. But for great and glorious republi.
can free America to follow such an example, is
"tolerable and not to be endured"
We could not but think, while perusing these
lugubrious articles Of the Times about Amer.
can affairs, of fable we read the other day
about the old rat, who, calling the younger
members Of his family and his friends generally
around him, delivered them moral lecture
against the horrid vice Of depredating upon the
property Of mankind, and declared it to be his
purpose to set the example Of great penitence
and austerity to all ratdom for the rest Of his
life, to retire altogether from public view and
TO lead life Of seclusion. His homily made
decided impression upon his auditors, and there
is no knowing how abiding it might have been,
had not somewhat inquisitve and communi.
cative rat of his acquaintance, passed one day
by well stocked pantry, observed the peniten.
tial recluse safely housed in the very heart Of a
fine old Cheshire cheese.
Il would not occupy very large space in the
columns OF the Times to apprise the world it
enhghtens in what period Of England's history
she has ever pursued aught but an aggressive,
encroaching and aggrandizing policy and what
part Of the habitable globe has ever been "free
from her ambitious finger" The Times talks
Of barbarous Russia and enlightened America.
What in this connection, Of Britannia? How
came she by Ireland, by Scotland, by her
American colonies, by her West Indian posses.

her own in the heart of Asian In good sooth,

Rumored Battle and Death OF Omer
Pasha.
The Liverpool correspondent Of the n. Y.
Herald, writing on the 18th, just before the
steamer sailed, has this rather doubtful story.
"At two o'clock this afternoon great agita-
ton prevailed here, in consequence of a London
private dispatch, which announced great
battle at Eupatoria, the defeat Of the Russians,
with loss of 5000 men, and the death Of 0mer
Pasha. Whether true or not / cannot tell, but
! doubt Omer Pasha being killed"

WHAT PARTY PLATFORMS USED TO
BE-WHAT THEY ARE NOW.

Every robust, prominent, respectable and ma
tional party in this country must have creed,
a comprehensive creed, in which are developed
and laid down all its articles of faith. This
creed cannot have some immaterial matters.
and pretermit and ignore material matters. 1t
must, to be sound and honest creed, include
and specify all the prominent and pressing
questions of the times.
The Democratic party is the only party that
presents such a creed. 1t construes the Con.
stitution, and applies that construction to every
conceivable emergency. No other party, now
a-days, pretends to do so. The condemnation
of Catholics and the Acknowledgement of for
eigners are the only two articles of faith laid
down by the Opposition. The old Wing party
used to have plain and comprehensive creed,
which it made as different from the Democratic
creed as light is from day. But the old Wing
party is dead. 1t has been swallowed up by
the Know-nothings.
Banks are deemed of some Importance.
Tariffs are reckoned things Of much political
consideration. Internal improvements used to
be regarded as of the essence of Government.
Slavery was always considered a requisite in
party creeds. The Cuba question has assumed
an imposing shape. Yet the opposition to the
Democracy has quit banks, tariffs, and inter.
nal improvements, and "ignores" the great
slavery question and Cuba. Such a lean lank,
and wretched platform was never before ex.
hibited in this country. Who can support it,
and deem himself a statesman?

THE VIRGINIA ELECTION-THE EDI-
TORS-BETTING ON THE ELECTION.

The canvass in old Virginia is waxing warm
1t has brought out the talent of the State Old
men and young men, distinguished politicians
as well as those who never before "Aeshed
their maiden swords" and "won their spurs"
are actively engaged in the field. 1t takes
ideas in politics to find their way down among
the Industrious, working, and mighty masses.
Men Of this stamp, the small farmers, gene
rally confne themselves to their homes. They
have to labor with their own hands. Going to
court is to them like going to town. Many 60,
but many more stay at home. The sheriff
calls for his taxes, the cross roads store is near
at hand, the gossip Of the county is gathered
by some busy, busting body, who goes regu-
larly to the store, and SO it is unnecessary for
the man of business to take his horse from the
plough and trudge to the courthouse. These
peope-the bone and sinew Of the country
are just beginning to hear of and understand
Know-nothingism. It's to them mysterious
and incomprehensible something, new idea,
a chimera dire"
The calculations of the Know-nothlngs are
based upon the pledges of the trading politi-
clans, not upon the pledges of the masses.
The masses have not joined the Order, and will
not
We discover that some of our brothers of the
"gray goose quilr'-the editors of Virginia
have for season abandoned their papers to
other hands, and are actively engaged in the
canvass. Nor are they less effective as speakers
than writer's. Some Of them, indeed, have
won prouder laurels as speakers than writer's.
Nor do we here intend to disparage them as
editors. The speeches Of Mr.. Pryor, of the
Enquirer, and of Mr.. Irving, of the Lynchburg
Republican, are pronounced to be among the
ablest most eloquent and most effective that
have been elected by the canvass. Mr.. Banks,
Of the Southside Democrat, has also acquired
a high reputation as speaker.
| We have learned that the class called sport
ing men are, as a general thing, eager to bet
odds against Mr.. Wise. But they have one
thing to learn. 1t is-that playing at faro is
one thing and betting upon the honest masses
of Virginia is another thing. The Virginia
election is not yet game of faro. The cards
cannot be stocked on that intelligent people.
Let them bet to their hearts content but their
betting will have no effect. When the country
people learn that these city gentry are selling
them like sheep in the shambles, they will take
a malignant pleasure in disappointing them.
