France and Switzerland. Russia and Austria Turkey
and t31oece. Denmark and the Cermanic Conieders-
tioa, are al respectively at loggerheads. To these
may be added Great Britain and France, for the re
fusa 81 de Sabine Porte TO sanction the Suez canal
The pet prgst Of Louis Napoleon and the occupa
ton Of Tie rock Of Perrin BY English forces, taken
in connection afford ahundent pretext for the break
ing forth Of the ancient hostility Then, again, the
English people are sore about the refugee question,
about he lion share taken by the French troops at
sevastopol and Canton. Moreover Napoleon III has
very large army Idle, and selects for them camp
at Bonlogne, while he sends the Due de Malakoh to
"spy out the land" All these shadows point to
some large body Of trouble coming on.
On the other hand, England and France seem to
have very perfect understanding about the island
Of Hayt and according to recent indications, appear
to be willing to assist the blacks in totally extngaish
ing the white population in the Dominican Republic.
The readers Of the Crescent have not forgotten that
during Pieree's time treaty was formed between
this island republic and the United States and that
the allied French and English compelled President
Santana, literally at the cannons mouth TO abrogate
this treaty, TO which compulsory abrogation Uncle
Sam submitted with his usual meekness. The old
fellow Is patiently biding the time when his neigh
bors across the water shall be TOD fully occupied with
each other TO interfere with his schemes; then the
foreign policy Of the present Administration will be
fully inaugurated.r
Meantime, we continue as Of yore, entirely submis
sive in all foreign matters to the beck and nod Of the
minions of John Ball. So much 80, that Demo-
cratic paper in this city-the "states,D Douglas

Foreign Relations i steadily and consistently, yet
so corertly pro. European, that II such an idea was
in the smallest degree admissible, we should say all
its resolutions on Spanish Ameican affairs were out

One can smell Douglas bidding for popular, and
particularly for Southern favor, nnder all this. Bot

Therefore 1t Is that one feels not little anxiety to
see Kansas disposed Of, that Mr.. Buchanan may have
no excuse for longer deIerrng bis foreign policy. as
for masking under the pretended pressure Of home
matters weak submission to AngloGalIic dcta-

The Clayton Bnlwer treaty is far from any danger
Of abrogatioB. A new notion is entertained on the
subject. II we abrogate this treaty, England will
hold the Bay Islands until we eject her vi ct arms
She may refuse her assent to the abrogation, and
that will bring into unpleasant relations 1.-THE
most horrible Of all ideas to the old foges Of the
Cabinet. Strange, indeed that the fogies should
have forgotten Gov Hammond's speech, in which
conclusive proof is given that England can't eight u.s.
She dare not Yet we truckle to her.
There seems to be general outbursting of opinion
In favor of the slave trade. recent number Of the
Richmond Wing contains capital article in its IA
vor. Heretofore the Wing has been backward in re-
gard questions styled pItrRsonthsn but upon this
point II has stepped forth with boidness surpassed
by none.
Edmund Ruifiu, Of Virginia, the wel-kuown agri-
culturist, has printed a powerful pamphlet on the
"Potical Economy Of Slavery or which your read
should not fail TO possess themselves 1t ought to
be largely distributed among the thinking men Of
the North even the middle classes would peruse It
with profit II not with pleasure. Mr.. Runn thinks II
possible that the fanatieiam Of the North, growing
yearly in strength by accretions from abroad, may
extinguish slavery. Never. Ten years from this
day, the civilized world will be unanimous in favor OF
slavery. The man who shall live to see the twentieth
century will find slavery the general condition Of
servtade, whether the servants be white or black.

any Yankee who may choose to settle there. Will
we be blessed with the sight Of foreign colonization
Of Central America, and will there be divergence

the question. win our Yankee friends get along

thereafter and for many months we knew that it had
been rejected. John Bulls meddlesome finger is not
yet out Of that pie and never win be until cut of by
the sword Of the American filiboster.
/ Our wise and interchangeable Senate have agreed TO
reconsider the vote by which the Pacific Railroad was
defeated. But am more than ever convinced that
the scheme is practically dead in Congress and that

Stephens. of Georgia. in regard to the Conference
BILL He was miserably lambasted but stood up to
the fight more manfuliy and bore the defeat better
than any other man on the opposition side Of the
House could have done. It was literally battle of
giants, and during the fifteen minutes of gadiation
OF incessant questions and retoTts, the scene was
more intensely exciting than any we have had this
session. All the strength Of either side seemed con-
centrated In their respective champions, and each
thrust and every word was instantly recognized and
Justify cheered by the partisans of the conbatants
1t is In certain sense gratifying TO know that the
Black Republicans are unable to make even show

taken such position that in the event Of Northern
success, we may look to see him high in power.

this scheme is destined TO utter failure. Apart from
the business aspect Of the question: there Is no deny
ing that we are already sufficiently intimate with
England. If we are now under the control OF the
