TIlE DEATH OF NATIONS. ''''a
1t is astonishing how many. nations
seem ut this moment absolutely expir-
ing. There is the Kingdom Of Na-
piles; which has existed, as a separate
and independent nation for a hundred
and fifty years, and with Bourbon
Prince ON the Throne all the time, ex-
cept during the few years Of the. pow
er of Napoleon /. This nation, tho
seat for ages of all that is luxurious
and most voluptuous, now seems rot
merely changing its dynasty or alter
ing its boundaries, but merging its ma
tional existence into that Of Sardinia.
Tuscany has already. gone, 7andsnthc

it is doubtful how long Austria can sur
vive. Thus much for Europe:
In Asia, the descendant, Of Makom-
met, against whom all christcndom has
commended vainly for ages, is now rap
idly giving away under the rencroach-
mcnts of old age. Steam, rather than
gunpowdcr, is the death Of this en-
pire, which for ages was the dread Of
Europe. Even: as lately as within
twenty years, when Miller, the half:
crazy interpreter of prophecy, wasprc-
dieting the downfall Of this power il.
is43, it seemed, of all things he said,
the most incredible, that it should DO
SO near its dissolution. 1t seemed
most incredible to ordinary minds, and
yet about that very timc,, Nicholas tho
Emperor of Russia, actually visited the
Courts of France and England and
proposed its dismcmbermcnt, Euro
pean powers could not agree about
the spoil, and soft has stood until now,
that the madness of a few fanatical
Druses has brought Christian nations
to pretty unanimous feeling, that it is
a nuisance which ought to be abated
and without delay. - 9'.1 S'A''.<

that our nation as.hadi 8 the first ca,,d
greatest proyocation of any, a cause of
complaint not yet settled, in the muir
der of All American family at Jaffa, for
which no satisfactory atonement has
vet been made; indeed, the paltry sum
Of two hundred dollars. and the impris-
onmcnt Of four of the perpetrators for
a short time was, all that was offered.
The sum We believe, has been increas-
ed to two thousand four hundred dol
lars, but none Of the perpetrators Of
the outrage have been brought to pun
ishment. We might have sent fleet
and bombarded half a dozen towns,
but cgo,iation has been Preferred

Inall,llese cases France, or France

the world has seen since the breaking
up Of the Roman Empire. France,
however, is but the occasion;s inward
decay is the cause. Ahigh wind may
