THE LIGHT BREAKING IN.

We are highly gratifed to find that leading
me, of the South are beginning to appreciate
the inherent weakness of their position, result
ing from their favorite institution of Slavery,
and to anticipate the terrible issues OF war
will any of the great Powers of Europe. We
sine srely hope that the Enquirer, the States, and
otht + organs of Southern opinion, may succeed
in q gakening the Southern people to sense of
thei danger in time to save them from the dis
astr JUS consequences of the Presidents reck-
less demagogism. The Enquirer, so far from
exa ,gerating, has under stated the dangers to
the south which necessarily flow from the Pres
idebss policy. The editor only hints at conse-
quences which may be set down as inevitable.
Nat,1ns at war with each other always asSail the
enemy in his weakest part. All know that Sla-
very is the weak point in our position. Great
Britain, or France, or both, in conjunction with
Spaia, would have no difficulty in setting the
South in blaze, by appealing to the slaves.
With twenty thousand troops landed at Charles
ton, as many at Mobile, and twice as many at
New Orleans, nothing would be easier than TO
paralyze the whole South, by the issue Of proc
lamatjon.
The Enquirer, as matter Of course, is UNI
just to the Black Republicans in assuming
that they would be ready to join the common
enemy in the contingency supposed. The prob
ability is, that the abolition of Slavery would
result from the violence Of the conflict. We can
see 40 possibleway for it to escape such q fate
at least on the sea coast; and it is probable
that~6lavery being thHs violently overthrow OIL
disorganized, Che question of its reinstitutior
might be raised in the Negotiations for peace
We will not undertake to say what might be
~ ,rrr'rrrrfpaTor snot1r
become an indispensable condition of peace, il
would result from the weakness and danger o
the South. Slavery could never be Reconstructed
after one violent shock, such as it would receive
in war with the great Powers of Europe.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. &c, 1852

Mr. EDITOR: In private letter written by
me last Summer to my estimable friend, Lady
Havelock, / mentioned to her the fact that Sir
Henry Hayelock's noble character was SO high
ly appreciated by the American people, that on
the receipt of the news of his death the flags of
the shipping in our harbors were lowered to half
mast, an honor which believe had never before
been paid in this country to British General
Her reply, received few days ago, contains SO
expressive response to that part of my letter,
that cannot refrain from offering it, through
you, to the public.

HesPeCUIuIIy yours, L. d. d.
Extract from Lady Hdrelock's Letter.

X The first intensity of that fearful
bereavement which God saw fit to send me- has
been in measure modified and sanctified by
his tender mercy, by the devotion of my loving
and dutiful sons and daughters, and by the
sympathy of my Queen and country. But
greatly as have been blessed and comforted
under my affiiction, never can sufficiently ex-
press how great balm it has been to my
wounded heart-how very great an honor-the
mark of attention paid to the memory of my
beloved husband by that great nation across
the Atlantic! If knew what body of sympa-
thziers to address, | would gladly and proudly
offer them the grateful thanks of sad and
lonely heart; and could tell them with honest
truth that not one word too much had been
said in praise Of him who has now received the
crown which will never perish.
Believe me, my dear Eliza, sincerely and af
fectionately your friend,
HANNAH S. HAyELoCK.

Just such story as We love to read. Graphic,
natural life-lke indeed, yet easy-told with no ev-
ident aim at efect-it is the same mind and the
same pen that first awakened our deep interest in
Margaret Maitland" We regard her as one of
the best of the female writer's Of fiction of the
present day, and She is here on her own chosen
field. There is deep pathos in some of the
scenes of trial, the exhibition of noble manly
and womanly feeling, beautiful development
the continually -converging circle of interest
and final issue of the whole, just as we are glad
to find it, that every reader, we think, will &C.
cord to the author the praise of having written
a tale of unusual excellence. Its high moral
bearing, too, is not its least recommendation.
The ways of Providence in watching over and
conducting the affairs Of men, thwarting the
designs of the treacherous and wicked, and
browning higher and nobler aims, leave a lesson
ON the heart both satisfactory and healthful.
One who writes so WELL and with such benefit
to others, should often make her appearance,
to claim her deserved need of public favor.

to their feelings in violent passion aud heap
ed terrible anathemas upon such peace,
avoiding to mention the name of Napoleon,
out of respect to his brave wounded officers,
who fill the streets Of the city. There were
men who went up and down the streets raw
ing, and striking their fists upon the tables of
the cafes, like madmen. The Frence officers
were apparently as astonished as anybody,
and avowed their inability to comprehend it..
And well they might, for without explanation
the thing was entirely incomprehensible.
Matters remained thus the first day
The King came to town that day on his way
home to Turin, and was rather coldly received
by the people. Napoleon had heard by rele-
graph of the feeling excited in Milan by the
peace, and delayed his arrival here. In the
meantime he issued proclamation to his
soldiers in which he gave them to understand
that he had been forced to make peade by i'm
perious and unexpected circumstances. This
seemed to modify the acrmony of the people
to some extent and when he arrived yesterday
he had a tolerable reception-about such rs
he receives every day when he travels about
the streets of Paris, but not such one as
the conquer of a people is permitted to ex-
pect. The King went to meet him at the sta
ton and the two made the entry seated side
by side in a carriage. An immense proper
ton of the citizens remained away from the
line of the procession designedly, while an
other portion who were present made dis
tinction between the emperor and his army,
and remained silent while the Emperor and
King passed, cheered vehemently the Generals
of the suit and the soldiers who formed the
escort. The army at least were conquerOrs,
if there commander was not.r
