MORNI NG HERALD.]  We are glad to find that the opinions we ventured to give a few days ago relative to the awlshin character, and the- events which are passing in that country, have been in a greet measure confirmed by the accounts and documents which have since arrived. in that temple of fraud and falsehood, the Stock Exchange, some of the desperate adventurers, who stick at nothing to pro. duce a turn in the market, have made someu tten,pts, we see, to throw,discredit upon these documents, anti to impute to the parties sinister designs,altoether at variance with their plain and avowed put., port. It is natural enough that thnse'n ho live by deception. themselves, and to whom truth, ingenuousness, and sincerity are.unknow n,should qtrestion the existence of such qualities elsewhere ; but to minds uncontaminated by the malaria of this sink of all that is vile and loathsome, the accounts iu ' question carry with them an nir,of innate troth, alike creditable to the parties they come from, end an earnest of the continuance of the 'peace of Europe. We cannot too strongly deprecate the dig' position which exists in other quarters besides the one we have mentioned, to look With a jaundiced eye upon every thing which happens in other countries, and to assume that there can be nothing like truth and sincerity in Potentates and States. men. And this is done not so much with any real or apparent foundation for, or conviction of, ,the truth of what they say, as to exhibit the wonderful sagacity of the inventors. We do not deny that the history of past ages, the annals 'of diplomacy, and the intrigues or Cabinets, both at home and abroad, have heretofore furnished too many grounds for justifying such imputations. But the mystery which used to en, velope the science of Government hits been of late years gradually withdrawn ; and the light of general knowledge which has long since broken in upon the mass of Mankind, in most countries, leaves so little to conceal, or s hich can be con ci.aled, that the objects and designi of Cabinets are now, for the most part, as well understood and anticipated as the 'events of private life.— Nor can we see any just' grounds for impaling sinister designs and motives MN! which would not apply just as readily to duals in private lifel and we need not point out what would'be the 'state of insecurity and distrust in which mankind would be placed, if 'ail confidence•• were .at, en end, and each man was justified in imputing to every word and action of  his neighbours art object quite the reverse of that which they profess, From all that we yet know or see of the events which have followed the unexpected death of Alexander, they appear to carry upon the face of them as fair a bona fide appearance as any thing of the kind the world has ever witnessed and, to say the least of it, it is truly ridiculous to witness the wonderfully " wise saws " of political quidnuncs, who see nothing but civil and foreign wars, deception, cruelty, revolt, and murder, in an affair, extraordinary certainly, and almost unprecedented in its nature, but one with which, as far as we yet know, the Powers of Europe have apparently but little connizance, and froin which the peace of the world,as far as appearances serve to guide us, seems to have 'nothing to fear.
