The London Post has the following
dispatches;
PARIs, June 20. III. Pouriates will
arrive here forthwith, contrary to what
has been reported, without visiting either
the French or Austrian headquarters.
King Victor Emanuel has officially
declared that be viii not consent to the
annexation of any part of the Roman
States TO Sardinia.
The Times Paris correspondent says
that NJ. Kossuth has arrived in Paris,
and is stopping at the Hotel Jacob, Rue
Jacob. In one of the Times leading ar
iicles of the goth is the following:
IN. Kossuth will be employed at once
in action on the Hungarian regiments in
the Austrian service, and, if possible,
produce revolt in Hungary itself AT
the same time, We receive a proclamation
from Gen. Klapka, published at the
French headquarters. The meaning Of
these proceedings is not doubtful. The
Austrian empire is to be attacked beyond
the limits of Italy. The war is to be
carried into the other hereditary domin-
ions of Francis Joseph not indeed by a
French army, at least for the present,
bnt by a revolutionary propaganda, sup
ported by the whole strength of the
French, and perhaps the Russian Court.
The consequence may be of the very
greatest Importance. In the present
state of Germany on the one side and the
Danubian populations on the other sec
ond revolutionary outbreak in Hungary
may light up war from the Baltic to the
Black Sea. If Kossuth and Klapka be
seriously combining to kindle the fame
of the remote province of Austria, the
Germans may have that caSuS beli which
the more hot-headed among them desire.
Should Napoleon persist in the scheme
which the proclamation of Klapka and
Kossuth's departure from England indi-
cate, it viii be a sign that be is ready to
wade into the deepest waters of European
commotion."
1t is stated that the King of the Belgi.
ans will start on June 22d for London
from Ostend. Some persons are disposed
to surmise that the visit may have refer.
ence to the proceedings said to be contem.
plated by Prussia with the view of bring
ing about treaty between France anC
Austria.
A letter to the Times from Berlin, o
the 18th inst, says the corps darnaee t.
be modified are the Sd, 4th, 9th, 9TH ant
9Th, and the Guards. The LIST. I'd, ant
9th corps are reserved to be opposed, j
necessary, to Russia. The other corp
will be concentrated, and only sutfcien
troops will be left in the provinces to gar
rison the towns and the fortresses.
The Times Vienna correspondent say
the Russian Circular of May p is vel
written, but it has failed to convince thu
German governments that the German
Confederation was formed simply an,
exclusively for defensive purposes
Prince Gortschakofss dispatch must b
considered complete confirmation Q
the continually recurring report, tina
Russia has promised France to interfere
should the German Bund render assist
ance to Austria, its federal ally.

pons, and viii resist any nomination made
under the threat Of secession from the
Democracy, by all the means within his
power. In truth, be himself threat ems
secession from theparty, for, as he would
not accept a nomination rendered by
Convention which may refuse TO sane
ton his view of its principles, it follows
that he viii oppose the election of any
candidate standing upon a platform not
conformable thereto.
Now, for the first time, does the schism
in the Democratic party appear really
serious. There is no material difference
in doctrine between Mr.. Douglas and the
most extreme Southern leaders. They
only demand positive legislation by Con-
gress for the protection of Slavery in the
Territories. Judge Douglas comedies
that Slaves are property in the Terrific
ries as well as in the Slave States, and
that, as such, ownership in them is pro-
tected by the Constitution. He refers
all questions which may arise as TO the
mode of furnishing this protection, TO the
Supreme Coart and its subordinate tri-
bunals. Nov, can any sensible man en-
terrain dou,t that the Supreme Court
is more rhorough1y devoted to Slavery
than Congress is? The Court is alto
gether Democratic and Southern, with
the exception of one of its members
Congress is already half emancipated.
and there is some prospect that it may
draw theiangs of slavery and render the
institution innoxious in its influence over
? national legislation, and at the same time
wrench from the Supreme Court its
usurped functions. The doctrine Of
Judge Douglas is far more dangerous tc
popular liberty than that of Congression-
al intervention, and beside, by poisoning
the fountain Of justice, has tendency tC
bring he Judiciary into odium and con-
tempt. If the Southern people were
left tothemselves, they would soon come
: roundto the position of Mr.. Douglas.
TIL, quarrel, then, is altogether one o
personal ambition. Mr.. Douglas is de-
termned to be President. Mr.. Hunter
JEFF Davis, and their associate salaman
ders, are equally determined that he shall
not be They have resolved to pack til,

petitor, and against the settled policy o
the party. If they do not succeed ii
