      Breathes There A Man With Sbtu So Dead, ...

      Breathes there a man with sbtu so dead , Who never to himself hath said This is my own , my native land . My Mr Beloved Friexds , —Ifaving now defafKineu iiAt vat we shall remain a distinct and separate " bsdyv tilll still struggling for the achievement of our political tjigbtigbfe , with the resolution to use them for the attainiientient of social happiness , and having placed the eestosstoration of Frost . Williams , and Jones , prominently

      du tin the catalogue of those concessions to the popular rrill , rill , which itis ABLE , IF WILLING , to achieve , ' . ' . ad address you this first day of the New Yc ? r upon Jhis , iiis , to us the most Ininiediaiely important subject wmwmneeted with our movement . When we rejoiced an in the overthrow of the " base , bloody , and brutal IWlufiTiigs , * ' we appeared to forget that , though they pwewvere dead and gone , their measures and cruelties rctmaimaiued after them . How can vrc say that Wluggery iis is dead whU *» the Poor Law Amendment Act still

      irearemains upon the Statute Book ? Iiow can we say fthathat we have triumphed while Holberry , Duffy , and fCkiClaytou lie cold in their graves ? flow can we say 'thsihatwehave conquered , if our friends are still re tat tained by the enemy as hostages ? True , the slight eni encour agement given to Lord John Russell during hbhis OCCASIONAL restoration , marked popular aviaversion to him and his associates ; but yet that tri triumph must be but poor , mean , and scanty , which is is satisfied with the overthrow of an enemy , hut is su sullied bv the degradation of our friends .

      I believe , in my soul , that if a popular move , a m national niove , a great and simultaneous move , was n « now made , fur the restoration of Frost , Williams , at and . Tones , that it would be successful ;• while 1 feel aa assured that no circumstance would give more genek ral satisfaction , or would more tend to convince the w world of our devotion to principle . To me , it is a B ! melancholy fact to fcnow , that , during the seasons of p' prosperity , the sufferings of our friends are lost sight fe fcf in higher wages ; and , indeed , it has been a chaise , a and not an unjust one either , that the working c classes are loudest in the advocacy of their principles v when they are poorest and least able to advance t tbem . Can any man read the simple but affecting 3 letter from Frost , which appears at fort ,

      with-< cut being moved to a firm resolution to do what in ] him lies to achieve his restoration to country , to i iamily , to home , and to friends ? It would be need-] less to travel over the beaten ground of informal , and 1 therefore illegal trial , and consequently illegal conviction ! It would be an insult to attempt to create ! sympathy in the feeling heart ; it would be absurd to t endeavour to create feeling in the brutish niiud , that : is Indifferent to the sufferings of our friends . This much I will say , that if one half that was done for the Dorchester labourers , or for the Glasgow cotton spinners , had been done for Frost , Williams , and Jones , that they would long since have been restored to such an appeal , but never was there more criminal anathy than that manifested by the trades of Great Britain to the sufferings of those men .

      If theEnglish people had acted as the Canadian BE 3 ELS did , we should now bs able to point to our triump h , over Whiggery in the restoration of our friends . An election—perhaps " many elections—are at hand '; for . believe me , that this country is near a great convulsion : and should we lose such opportunities of performing an act of simple justice ? My friends , I will have my own petition ready to send to my own leader—the only leader I acknowledge in the world , Thomas Duncombe—upon the first day that Parliament assembles . Let every man with a family « ret his whole household to sign one ; let every man in a shop get his every shopmate to sign one ; and he

      who lives by his labour , and refuses , is a bad man , a wicked man , and a cruel man . Let those petitions be set about in time . Let them be read / for presentation the moment the House sits , and let them be presented as soon as the forms of the House will permit . Let there be public meetings ; let there be speeches in their favour ; and let there be loud and angry denunciation of the wrongs they hare endured ; and then , when the gentlemen now about to resign their trust , and to ask yon for a renewal of their tenure , shallknow how they are to be judged , perhaps they may have bowels of compassion for their classmade victims . Bear in mind , that , when threatened

      with ejectment before , the prison doors were only barred by a majority of one .. Let us see what effect such another threatened visitation may have upon the pliant Commons . While whole factions are thinking of their pelf , let ns think of our friends—the friends of our principles . Let us never forget the fact , that while Frost stood npon the very verge of eternity , and while resigned as to his own fete , that he anxiously corrected the misrepresentation of our principles by lis counsel . - Ton will learn , with (" f light , that the g lorious Chartists , and noble trades of London , have decided upon honouring our great leader with an entertainment becoming the man , upon the night previous to the meeting of Parliament . Let petitions ,

      with millions of signatures , be ready for that night , and let the ripe affection of Englishmen constitute the greatest delicacy of the repast . Let' them be ready for that night , that they may be piled in waggon-loads npon the platform to gladden our Keavts , and prove our devotion to our friends and our principles . Let all other business be lmd aside until this , of paramount importance , is done . Let ns devote the first twenty-one days of this year , preg nant with change , to this holy purpose ; and to the women we would say , think of the wives and daughters of the exiles , vie with your husbands , get up your petitions also , and let the tenderness of affection , and the manliness of devotion , be mingled and joined

      in this just and holy work . ; Who can read , or who can hear , the affecting letter from Frost read , without being moved to tears and roused to action ? What reliance he still places upon his countrymen How hepardonstheircriminal apathy , and yet twines hope around their exertions Up , then , Englishmen and Scotchmen ! Oh Ireland , where sleeps tht former glory ? Yon , whose sons , till debased , were ever foremost in deeds of daring and patriotism , why should not your sons join in this holy work ? Bat Patrick O'Higgins and Ms

      brave band of patriots may swell the national anthem , and give to the world some proof that justice still lives in the hearts of Irishmen . For myself I am ready to devote every hour of the prescribed time to the good work , and I am as confident as I am that I now address you , that our united exertions will be successful . And oh ! think of such a New Tear ' s gift—think of | suck a triumph . I hope by next Saturday to be able to report the formation of such machinery in London as will give effect to the national will . Here follows the letter of John Frost : —

      Mr Dkak Sib , —I received your letter of July lost { favoured by Mr . Marshall ) , and a packet of newspapers , for which accept my best thanks . They were indeed a treat , such as 1 have not had for several years-. During my confinement on Tasman ' s Peninsula for three years and a half , I had scarcely seen a newspaper ; since I came to Hobart Town , in December , 1843 , I occasionally see a paper , but not often . The local papers give extracts from the English papers , but they are generally of a kind in which I feel hut little " interest . They , like most other papers , contain what will suit the readers , and there are but very few in this colony who feel any interest in the progress of the movement .

      My companions , Williams and Jones , are both well Jones was in the police for some time : he was appointed to the situation of guard of the Launces ton mail , and about a fortnight ago he had a ticket of leave , and I understand he intends to follow Ms business . Williams is in the police , at a station about twenty miles from Hobart Town , called New Korfolk . lie was very desirous to get other employment , but things are here so bad , and work so difficult to be had , that he could not succeed . The produce of the colony has fallen so much in value , that the settlers arc very badly off , and nothaving the xueans topav men , they cannot employ .

      Ellis is still on Tasman ' s Peninsula ; I heard from him a month ago . He is in pretty good health , but sadly tired of Irs situation . If you have any communication with Mrs . Ellis , inform her that herhuslrand . in December last , was still at the same station , the Cascades , but he was in pretty good health . It is so dilLcult to convey anything to a prisoner in those stations , and so dangerous for another prisoner to attemptit , that one- u deterred , by the certain

      cotseautnecs , from running the risk . WE ARE IN GREAT HOPES THAT WE SHALL SEE ENGLAND AGAIN , AND AT NO VERY DISTANT PERIOD . One half , at least , oi those concerned in the Canadian outbreak have been pardoned , and the rest are in weekly expectation to sec their names in the Gazitte . From the time I heard that those engaged in the Canadian affair were bciwr pardoned , 1 hao the greatest confidence thatwcshould ultimately be p laced in thesame

      Breathes There A Man With Sbtu So Dead, ...

      situation . From everything we hear , the greatest efforts have been made for our liberation . WE HAVE GREAT REASON TO BE GRATEFUL TO OUR COUNTRYMEN , and I have no doubt that their exertions will finalfv lie crowned with success . ALAS' WHAT HORRORS WE HAVE EXPERIENCED FROM OUR DESIRE AXD ENDEAVOURS TO SERVE THEM J SL'RELl ENGLISHMEN ARE NOT UNGRATEFUL ! Yon will receive this letter about the latter end of

      May or the beginning of June . By tlurt time you will know w / iatare the intentions of the Government as to our pardon . If it be not probable that we shail be pardoned this year , I shall feel much obliged if yon will send me as many Nortlicm Stars or Nergiern Liberator * as you can . If they are three or four vears old . they will be news to me ; and I feel great " interest in reading papers which must contain subjects of an important nature . Be good enough to direct theiu to " Mr . George Rogers , High-street-,-St . Giles ' s , London . "

      I wrote to Mr . O ' Connor in January , 1 S 43 , and in the month of December I received the letter back again , it having been refused because the postage was not paid . —I remain , dear Sir , yours truly , JohsFkost . Hobart Town , Van Diemau ' s Land , Jan . 24 th , 1845 . To Mr . James Sweet , Nottingham . There , my friends , who can read that simple letter without pledging his troth to accomplish the object of the writer ? T may observe , in passing , that nothing ever caused me half the mortification as the fact of Frost ' s letter to me being returned . It must doubtless have arisen from the rule , at my office at

      Leeds , where the Star was then printed , not to receive letters that were not post-paid , and the parties entrusted with their receipt having no notion as to the "Titer of that document which I should hare esteemed as a treasure . Let us then , in our future exertions make amends for our past apathy , and wishing that the happiness of the New Year may be marked by the restoration of our friends . I remain , Your faithful friend and servant , Fsargus O'Cossor .

      France. It Appears That Louis Philippe I...

      FRANCE . It appears that Louis Philippe is determined , little by little , aud bit by bit , to adopt the ancient symbols of France and of his family , and which were proscribed by the revolution of 1830 . Thus , the fleuvde-lys is beginning to re-appear in certain royal edifices , in figures ou the flagstaff ' s of certain regiments , and is about , it is said , to be placed on the standards of others . Thus the Gallic Cock has been brushed from the caps of the soldiers , and a royal crown established ; thus the fleur-de-lys begins to figure in the royal arms and royal ornaments ; thus , ancient titles are given to members of the royal family ; and thus , iu a hundred other ways too minute to mention , is Louis Philippe showing that he has not forgotten

      that he is a Bourbon ; and that , though placed ou the throne by a revolution , he is anxious to be a * much the legitimate king as signs and symbols can make him . Such is the state of insecurity which is felt respecting the personal safety of Louis Philippe , that no less than 809 soldiers are lodged every night in the Palace of the Tuilcries , ready to rush to arms at a moment ' s notice . In addition to them , all the guardians and watchmen have been armed ; and incessant guard is kept up in every corner and cranny of the palace . Opekixg of the Chambers . —Paris , Saturday , Dec . 27 . —In conformity with the royal decree of the 19 of November , the legislative session wasopened today by the king in person , and with the usual formalities . The King having taken his seat on the throne , delivered the following

      SPEECH . Gentlemen , Peers , and Deputies . —In calling you together around me , I atn happy to think that we can congratulate each , other on the general state of our country . I am confident that th » good understanding of the powers of the state , and the qiainteuanceof our policy of order and conservatism , insure more and more the regular development of our institutions , and the progress' of the national prosperity . My government has proceeded with the execution of the great works which you hare Voted . The measures necessary for fully cmying them , out ' will ' . be proposed to you . We have thus , in a few years , given to France on the one haad , powerful guarantees of peace and security , and on th *> other , the nuaus of extending its fruitful industry , and of spreading prosperity throughout all parts of our territory and among all classes of the population . M thesame time that these imjrortaut results have been accomplished , the state of our finances has become from day to day more satisfactory .

      The financial laws , and other laws , the object of which is to introduce important amrliorations into the administration , will be immediately laid before you . I continue to receive from all foreign powers pacific and amicable assurances . I hope that the policy that has maintained general peace through so many storms wfll one day do honour to the memory of my reign . The friendship wlii-ft unites me with the Queen of Great Britain , and of which she hits lately given me so affectionate apioof , and the mutual confidence of our two governments , have happily insured the good and intimate relations of the two states . The convention concluded between us to put an end to the odious trafic in slaves , is at tliis moment in the course of execution . Thus , b \ the cordial co-operation of tht maritime forces of the two states , the slave trade wilfhe effectually put down , and at the same time our commerce will be again placed under the ' exclusive surveillance of our flag .

      I have reason to _ hope that the great exertiens of France and England will bviug . ahwii , * a tnebauta of thi Plata , the re-establishment of relations commercial , regular , and pacific . This is the only object of our efforts . Events which I deplore , but which have given a new opportunity for the display of the heroism of our soldiers , have troubled our possessions in Africa . I hare taken prompt measures to ensure that the domination of France shall everywhere maintain the force and ascendant which belongs to it . With the aid ot time , our energetic persever * nc < will lay the foundation of the scouritj and prosperity of Algeria .

      Gentlemen , you bare given me your loyal concurrence in the grrat aud difficult task which the will of the nation has called on me to fulfil . Providence has blessed our efforts . It has also granted to me precious consolations in my family . Wherever my sons have appeared , 1 have the confidence thit they have worthily carried the name of FraureJ ify grandsons increase in number , and grow under my ejes . " My dearest wish , and my fondest hope is , that by our devotion to France , by our zeal in servin ? it well , its affection may be insured to us , ana the intimate union of my country and family be for ever confirmed .

      The Paris papers of Sunday , were of course occupied with the above speech , which is denounced by the opposition journals as "the colourless and insipid production of an enervated Administration ; " and ihe Ministerial Organs themselves do not venture to claim for it any greater merit than that of "Great happiness of expression , aud a simplicity which has its eloquence . " Electoral Reform . —For the first time the English daily papers noticed , on Wednesday last , the important " meeting of the French , editors , commented on at length in our seventh page . The following shabby paragraph appeared in the Jfonim

      coming to au understanding as to the most efficient means of carrying their object . The Paris journals in this association are not very nuingrous , and are of the minor character ; the total number of journals , including those of the provinces , which have joined , is thirty-seven . A committee has been formed , and has commenced its discussions . The Chamber of Deputies met on Monday , for the purpose of electing its President , Vice-Presidents , and Secretaries . The candidates for the President ' s chair were—31 . Sauzet on the side of the Ministry , and M . Dufaure on that of the Opposition . For the Vice-Presidency the Ministry brought forward four cant'idates - .-Messrs . "Bi gnon Debdleyme , Lepelletier , d'Auluay , and Duprat , and the Opposition Messrs . Biiiault , Vivien , de Sale , and de Tracy . There artfour secretaries of the Chamber , but as it is usual tohave at least one member of the Opposition among

      the secretaries , the Ministers brought forward only turcccaudidates , Messrs . de TEspec , dclas Cases , and Boissy d'Anglas , while the Opposition proposed two candidates , Messrs . Lacross and Ilavin . The Chanimet at two o ' clock . The first business proceeded with was the arrangement of the nine standing committees ( bureauxJ , into which the chamber is divided , which is done by lot . Out of the nine bureaux the government candidates were elected in eight , and the Opposition candidate in only one , so that of the eighteen presidents and secretaries , sixteen are on the side of the government , and only two on the other side . The government candidates elected as presidents are Messrs . Brunei , Dekssitt , Cousture , Perrier , Bignon , J . Lefebvre , Sapey , and Clement ; and the secretaries are Messrs . De Sahune , St . Aur aire , Desmertiers , Molin , Dc Gouland , l'trsil , the Duke d ' Uzes , and Viscount de Montesquieu , The

      snccessfnl candidates of the Opposition uue M . dc Sade , president , and M . Sieves , secretary . At halfpast three the Chamber commenced its public sittins , and at five o ' clock the ballot was declared . The following was the result : — For M . Sauzet ... „ 213 M . Dufaure 147 M . ftupin , 3 M . Odilon Barrot 1 Majority in favour of the Ministry ... ' —~ -CO P-utis , Tuesday . —At a meeting of the Chamber of Dsjuties to-day , the election of the four vice-presidenkwasprocealcd with , and the i'e > ult has been a writer victory on the side of the government . The four Conservative fandidates were elected oh the first ballot . The electio-js for the Secretaries has confirmed the result obtained far the Vice-Presidents .

      SPAIN . We take the following significant intelligence from the Tmts : —BinrawraA . —Since the return of General BrcSou the military occupation of the city , which I alluded to on former occasions , has been carried to a much greater . extent . All those posts which I frequently mentioned were relieved * every eight days , have now been converted into permanent military positions—their walls loopholed , and put in such a state of defence , that S will require mavy artillery to ' reduce " -them .- Provisions have been placed . in them for a month , and a chief of the anay named to defend thorn . . -

      The garrison of Monjuich has been doubled , and itaartillery put on a most efficient footing ; both that fort and the citadel are now being provisioned for six months . These measures show clearly that Narvaez is resolved to force on Catalonia die measures about which there has been suclt a continued clamour for years , and with the difficulties attending on which no Ministry has as yet daFed to grapple . The manufacturers of Catalonia have heretofore successfully resisted every attempt to admit foreign cotton goods , and , emboldened by former triumphs .

      are , I am assured , preparing to make desperate efforts before they yield up the monopoly which they have , with such immense pecuniary advantages to themselves , enjoyed for years . Tiiey say they will raise the standard ot rebellion all , over Catalonia before they cede . I doubt if they will curry things so far—at least if they be wise they will not attempt it , because were they even to triumph over Government , which may be considered much more than doubtful , they would be then the victims of an enraged populace whom tliev could not control , and which is proverbially knon-n to be the most lawloss , violent , and sanguinary population of Spain .

      Addition . ' 1 force is expected to arrive here from other districts , barracks having been ordered to be prepared for 4 , 000 or 5 , 000 more men at Barcelona . With such a force I believe that it may be safely asserted that Government will be able to triumph over the factious and interested attempts of the manufacturers on the one lnmd , and the turbulent and rebellious spirit which has ever marked the Catalnuian populace on the other . A strong feeling against the military has arisen here , which the press seems disposed to foment . A late ordinance restoring the military fueros , supposed to be destroyed by the constitution , has been severely

      animadverted upon by more than one of the Barcelona papers , and a further manifestation of dislike to the army occurred on the representation of the opera La MududiPorlici last night . The duetto " l ) i la Libertad " was violently applauded , and on arriving at the beginning of the third act , where tlie infuriated people disarm and murder the troops sent against them , although the singing , as in the duetto , had no avtistical merit , the applause rose to a deafeniit " pitch , and cries were heard to the effect that— " We will do the same to-morrow , or after . " It is said to day that the Captain-General has ordered the repetition of this opera for to-dav to be suspended .

      The Fomento of Barcelona of the 21 st announces the capture of the Cabecilla Felipe Tresanga , the chief of the conspiracy discovered at Berga last summer .

      ITALY . Movements of the Russian Auiockat . — The Diana of Rome announces the arrival of the Emperor of Russia in that city on the 13 th instant , travelling under the title of General Romanoff . He took up his residence in the Palace Giustihiani , the seat of the Russian embassy . We extract the following on this subject from the Quotidknne : — We have received letters from Borne of the 13 th ; The Emperor Nicholas had arrived during the night , und in the morning , at eleven , he went to the Vatican in the carriage of M . de Boutenisff , who was seated at his right , and alone nithhim . The aides-dc ' cRtnu followed in two other carriages . The guard of the palace paid the honours shown to crowned heads . The Holy Father went to receive the Emperor in his hall adjoining his cabinet . The Emperor bowed and kissed the Pope's ring , and then the two sovereigns embraced . After having made sonie inquiries as to the Emperor ' s journey , the

      Vope introduced him into his cabinet , where he remained an hour and a quarter with him and M . de Bouteuieff . Cardinal Acton acted as interpreter . On leaving the Emperor presented to the Sovereign Pontiff the persons of his suite , and , after a few words , the Emperor withdrew . It is , of cotrse , impossible to tell or even guess at the result of this interview . But we could read in the faces of the two sovereigns rather an expression ol irienOsliiu than distrust . We may also allude to the pre vious state of things . It is known that the Emperor comes t » solicit a dispensation for the marriage of his daughter with the Arcnduhe , aud it appears that he had never given an ; orders which could have authoriacd ilie recent persecutions by a schismatic bishop , and had promised that rigid investigation should take place , awl the bishop be exiled to Siberia , if the charges against him were proved . On his side , the Pope had demanded thai a nuncio should be received at St . Petersburg , and that thelibertj of the Catholics should he acknowledged . A letter from Florence of Dee . 19 th says : —

      The Emperor Nicholas arrived here this morning at six o ' clock , accompanied by Count Orloft " . The Grand Duke had given orders to have the Pitti palace prepared for his reception , but the Emperor desiring to guard his "incognito alighted at the Hotel d'hnlie . The Grand Duke called at nine o'clock to pay him a visit , but the Emperor had not risen . The Grand Duke sent two hours aner to invite the august traveller to a grand dinner at the court , and a concert , The Emperor declined all invitations and honours , expressing a wish to dine without ccremonj with the Grand Ducal family . In the course of the day , the Emperor went to return the Grand Duke ' s visit . lie was dressed in the uniform of the Hetman of the

      Cossacks , and was accompanied by Count Orloft . Prmce Paul , of Wurtemberg , also received a visit from the Emperor , who , however , did not enter the apartment , but merely had the names of Count Orloff and General U <> - mauoff inscribed at the door . The two interviews of the Pontiff and the Emperor are much spoken of here . Nothing oilicial is yet known of the result . Although he spent considerable sums of money in the purchase of mosaics and pictures , and gave away a good deal of mousy iu charity , his reception was , on the whole , rather cold on the part of the Homan population . The Emperor is to quit Florence to-inorrmv , or on the 21 st at furthest . His intention is to go by Bologna to Venice , where he will pass a day , and thence to Vienna direct .

      The following is an extract of a letter from Florence , of the 20 th : — Rlcnsl ) tUc lender of tUo last insurrection , la the Romagna , who escaped recently tiom Marseilles , has been arrested at Florence . He is carefull / guarded by order of the Grand Duke , and he is daily examined before the magistrates . It is said that the Grand Duke cannot help giving him up to the Pupal authorities , but that he is trying to gain tiiue in order that he may get some pro-: nise ot mercy front the Pope . M . Martine , th « under secretary of state , has been sent to ltaine as envoy from Tuscany , to settle the differences between the two States .

      BELGIUM . State op the Coustbv—Brussels , Dec . 18 . —In the Chamber of to-day , on the discussion of the Budget of Ways aud Means , Messrs . de Breyne , Stavart , and Eloy dc Burdinnc , expressed their opinion that the estimates of the Budget were too favourable . They dwelt on the necessity of reducing the taxes which bear on the middle and necessitous classes , and of laying the burden of the taxes on the great landholder . M . Eloyde Burdinnc drew a most deplorable picture of the condition of the farmers , and announced his intention of proposing an amendment to several articles of the Budget . M . DelfoBse and M . Verholgen made many objections to the Budget aud the actual system of taxation and expenditure , but no practical . measure was formally proposed in support of tlieir . theories .

      Several members insisted on measures for relieving the poor and lightening the burdens of the taxes on the middle classes of the town and country . Several Members called the attention of . government to the deplorable condition of Flanders , which requires speedy and eueractic measures for its relief .

      POLAND . The Post Am ;> t Gvzmc of Frankfort gives the following from Russia : — " The Ukase which deprives all such Roman Catholic and Greek priests as refuse to be converted , of their preferments , is being carried into execution with the greatest rigour . Their lands arc cither sold , and the produce given to the apostate priests , or they are annexed to the crown domains . A few only of the priests remain faithful to thcii creed and receive pensions : while tita others eUhsi

      WILL THERE im WAR ? [ From the Mw York Herald of Dec . 15 th . ] We publish to-day , tho last of tho diplomatic correspondence accompanying the President !! Message , developing his views of the present position of ovw relations with England . This portion of the corrcspondence contains the last letter of Mr . Pakenham , declining the compromise of the 49 th para'lcl offered by the President , aad the last letter of Mr . Buchanan , withdrawing that proposition , and re-asserting the American claim to the whole of tho territory . This matter is now in a most interesting positionin the very crisis of its destiny . It was thought at first that all negotiation had been exhausted , and as the proposal for arbitration had been rejected by our

      iiovcrnment , the next step would present a serious iltlliculfcy . and a probable interruption of the peaceable relations between the two countries . Wo hare information , which we can rely upon , that it is not so . It appears that negotiation hns been re-opened by Mr . Pakenham , and the probability is , that things will go on for some ttmo without any thin ? calculated to create difficulty , or impair the present position of our relations with England . The inquiry now will be made , " what arc the new instructions received by Mr . Pakenham ? or what is now proposed by England to terminate the differ , once ?" It is well known , that the great difficulty in settling this matter , grows out of that strip of territory which lies between the 49 th degree of north

      latitude < 'ind tlie Columbia River , embracing Puget ' s Sound , which contains the only good harbour in the whole territory . If . tho American government , with its unquestionable claims to . tho wholeterritory , so clearly and forcibly set forth by Mr . Buchanan , should give up that portion of the territory with the only harbour , it might as well give up the whole territory . But , by . the renewed effort of the Briti . ii government to compromise the matter , and from other indicaiions , we have reason to believe that Mr . Pakenham may offer a new boundary , dividing this disputed section , passing by the . head of Puget ' Sound , and giving the British this harbour , embracing the land about to the northward . We do not think that our government will accept such a proposition , or that it will recede from the one before made , ot the 49 th degree . In the meantime , pending tho negotiation , there is no doubt that both parties will proceed to make

      arrangements in view of the contingencies which may arise if the negotiations should terminate unfortunately . The British government have now a law under which the Hudson ' s Bay Company exercises criminal and civil jurisdiction , in that part of the territory which they inhabit . That law was passed in 1 S 2 I , during tlie pendency of the joint occupation . The President has recommended to Congress to pass a similar law , organising a territorial government in the Southern portion of the ttrritoro , for the protection of American citizens settling there . Indeed , already a provisional government has been established , and Dr . White , a delegate from the people , has arrived at Washington to ask Congress for admission in that capacity . No doubt Congress will pass a law organising a territory ' —admitting Dr . White . as a delegate—and forming a mail route to the Pacific , without , however , cmbracing any action which may embarrass the conflicting points of difference still under negotiation between tho two governments .

      PROJECT FOR "ANNEXING" MEXICO TO THE UNITED STATES ! [ From the Nm York Herald of Dec . loth . ] A very Important stage in tlie intercourse between the United States and Mexico , has now commenced . Mr . Polk , in his recent message , announced that the negotiation between the two countries , which had been interrupted by the annexation of Texas , and which was terminated by the abrupt departure of Mr . Almonte last spring , has been renewed ; and that Mr . Slide !] , of Louisiana , is sent to open fresh diplomatic intercourse ; for tho purpose of settling the important ancstions in dispute between the two countries .. This was official . Of the nature of the new negotiations , we are enabled to gather some

      intimations brought by recent arrivals in various ways from Vera Cruz via Havana , Pcnsacola , New Orleans , and Washington . By those accounts we learn that propositions have been informally placed before tho Mexican govern . - ment by an agentof the United States , proposing the Rio Grande del Norto as the boundary between the two countries , and also embracing a proposition to purchase New California , as far south as tho Gila river , at the head of tho Gulph of California . It is further stated that a sum varying from five to ten or perhaps twenty millions of dollars , has beon nnmod to be paid by the United States by way of indemnity for those new countries and the fresh boundaries between Mexico and tlto United States .

      This is but another step , however , in the great progress of events in reference to the progress of Republican government , in this hemisphere , which has commenced , and no one can tell where it will torterminate . Instead of a negotiation for the settlement of the boundary line of Texas by the Rio Grande , or the acquisition of California , we believe a project is on foot lor the purpose of uniting the two Republics , and for the annexation of Mexico to the United States , or ot the United States to Mexico , as you please to express it , and thus presenting to the world a Republic unequalled , even iu the imaginations of visionaries of past times , or of the present ago . There ia nothing to prevent the union of the two republics on

      the same principal by which Florida , Louisiana , tmd now Texas and Oregon , . will be added to thi s * republic . In every point of view it would be a happy and fortunate thing for the Mexican States to have a stable government in that beautiful region , aud to put an end to the long series ef revolts , insurrections and revolutions , which have characterised tijat-country for the hist thirty years . The union could be effected immediately by authorising tin-Mexican States to elect representatives in proportion to the population , on the same basis as exists in this country , by the last census . The

      diversity of religion and language is not an insurmountable objection to such a project . We see in this republic , Catholics and Protestants , all uniting to carry out our glorious destiny as a nation , and the same results would be apparent if Mexico formed an integral part of our Union . _ In all respects , physically , commercially , and politicall y , such a union would be a benefit to both countries : A republic of such a description , embracing the United States and Mexico , would comprehend all the great gold aud silver mines of the world , the greatest cotton growing country , the greatest wheat growing countw , in fact , possessing a monopoly of every thing clmt is valuable and rich on the face of the

      Ar00105

      earth . Iho population of the two countries wotud then amount othirty milhons , nnd tho . number „* voters w < mW be about five millions . We have existed in < hi * republic tor nearl y two thirds of » century , under a state of government' preserving ute , and liberty , and property , far beyond any thin " the military government of Europe can show The hew republic , formed by tlie union of the United States and Mexico , would present the same features and give to the Msxiean Sfcttessome promise of that happiness which thsy never yet have had , and which the tumults and revolutions of the last thirty vears have shown they never caii possess without the " infusion ot some powerful 1 element of civilisation into their government . That element must come from the grand reservoir of Anglo-Saxon energy and stability . Such is tho plan which is now forming for the union ot the United States arid Mexico . Itembraces in magnitude , mighty resulfe , andwill be the cause ot making great changes in the old wojld and in the

      new

      COMMEMORATION , OF , TOE POLISH REVO LUTION OF 183 eV AT THE STUIVESAN'J ¦¦

      INSTITUTE . - ' , • [ From the New York Mrninq Mm of Dee . 1 , 184 &] , Thelecture . room of ¦ tSe'Institute was'fill' / d on Satuvday evebing , . Novemb » r 29 th , jby ' a large and highly respectable audience , why listened with extreme delight to- the various ^ xerevses of the occasion . Th e fchair wasoceupied by the Hon . Wiri . " 'l ' , SrCbun ,-as president , assisted-, by Hon . . . Judge ,. Oakley , , as vicepyesideht , and Very many o / our most ' noSed ' and patriotic citizens' were in att 3 adanct \ ' A ' 'M r—very fair delegation o ? the softer se *? > also graced ' the celebration . On the right of the * Chair were siustbreci the Italian guartl ^ Captain Avwami ) , in their rieli uniforms of green ; and crimson , . ! tnd ou thelejt were gathered the members of the Scandinavian Society . In the real * of tlie pbtfonn , append the Polish white icaglc , surrounded-4 > y theentwjucd & rin ' ners of Poland , ! ScandinaviavFrahceamd America ; while the large ! area of the amphitheatre was h'lM'with tlie natives

      of nearly every European nation , aad many of our own distinguished citizes » s . It was an occasion of no ordinary interest , aud tlw frequent applause from different portions of the assembly , as * each in . turn , hcH ? d the peculiar and-faaiih ' ar language of his child-IwMi ' a h ome in etoipiento appeals , noi- onlv for tht liberty of Poland , but'for the freedom ' of the whole humn & ifamily , evinced most strongly the depth , fervour , aad progress of republican principles among the exiles from the despotiemleof the monarches ol Europe . After a few remarks from the president , a letter from the Hon . Lv Bradish was read , statins ' his inability of attending onaecount of the-severe illness of a relative . ' 1 he reading of the lettor was followed by John Jay , Ew \ .,. hva speech repktewith nervous thoughts , passing in review , briefly , but graphically , the principal eveiitsjtothehistory ' o ? Poland , tie concluded by offering ;' the following resolution * , which were unanimously adopted ;—

      1 st . Hhat the-wrongs ' of Poland involves principles o ; right , justice , and humanity , peculiar to no lam ! , but of universal interest , and that the tyranny perpetrated by Russia , aud coumcuaded by the sellish apathy oi' surrounding Europe , denumd from the Aroeviean people the expression of stern indignation Ji » ain » t the perpetrators , and of generous sympathy for the victims of theii ' - 'oppression . 2 » iJ . That tlie history of Poland , from its first partition in 177 'J , to the present time , teaches lessons of grave importance—that little dependence fan be placed upon the Magnanimity aud good faith of cabinets , when opposed by ambition and self-interest , that h nation's besi security is in the virtue and violence of ihe people—the strict accountability of its rulers , and absolute , exemption of all foreiifii influence .

      3 rd . That the I'olUh Revolution of 1830 , was the natural result of the cruel despotism of Russia , marked , too , by violations of good faith , which increased its infamy ; that the gallant struggle of that revolution was of all wars the most just—strictly a war of independence , characterised , on the part of Poland , no less by determined and patriotie valour , than by moderation and clemency towards those in whose cruelty it had originated ; and that its failure , caused by the criminal indifference of the nations which , in the Congress of Vienna , had guaranteed her constitutional privileges , and followed by renewed and aggravated outrages on the part of the Emperor Nicholas , is h source of deep and permanent affliction to all who truly value those eternal principles of freedom , which were proclaimed to the world in the Declaration of American Independence . .

      4 th . That the spirit of nationality , the great elements of a people ' s power , and that ,- in this syirit , so religiously koyt alive in dismembered Poland , and so butiutifmly ex . liibited among her patriot sous scattered in foreign lands , we recognise the surest guarantee for her restoration to the roll of independent nations , when the five principles , now rapidly advaneing through the world , shall have accomplished the cud to which they are inetitnbly tending . Theodore Sedgwick , Esq ., supported the resolutions in a speech replete with vigour and feeling , and which elicited frequent applause from tho huge and sympathising audience . He was tMlowed , in Italian , by M . Fovcsli . His beautiful Tuscan electrified the audience , for he touched a chord to which every manly heart must

      respond . He said that nationality is , for mankind , what individualism is to a nation—that without the fulfilment of theduties of either mankind would be r . great sufferer ; aud he-said that there was more than a fellow-feeling between Italy and Poland . Those two nations are burdened with fetters ; they arc both gigantic , but touched with the linger of the angry God ; yet tho power of the despot must yield to perseverance , as witness the indomitable spirit of the moantninccro of Caucasus . The speaker , alluding to the occasion of the evening , compared it to the invocation of the sods by Hannibal before the altar , aud

      in the presence of Ilamilcar . He said that this commemoration takes place before the eyes of nations , and it is a good thing to have it repeated from year to year , and that those who lend their countenance to this occasion deserve the blessings of all mankind . The speaker then addressed himself to the Scandinavians , as the nearest neighbours of the . Muscovites , and as having common interest with the Poles . Finally , he spoke with charming simplicity ' of soul , to the Americans , ns . enjoying die fruits of liberty , bespeaking at their hands warm sympathies for the oppressed , while they would keep their hearts free from indifference- to tyranny .

      At the conclusion Dr . Wierzbicki , with his usual terse manner , pointed out the spirit of generosity and devotion to the cause of humanity that pervades the Polish history , and animadverted with just indignation on those who falsified it , as , for instance , Allison . * He spoke of the real causes that brought on the fall of Poland , and , in conclusion , he drew a graphic picture of the future prospects of humanity , through the agency of Poland and America . Professor ilcbe , of Stuck holm , who spoke in Swedish , in a masterl y ; discourse maintained that , without nationality , nations have perished , and that Italy and Poland having preserved it , have a guarantee of the future realisation of their hopes .

      Mr . H . Kalussowski , who addressed the audience in elegant French , thanking them for their kind atfeiitii-i ) , said that the Poles in exile must profit from this freedom of speech , and tell of their country and her hopes , inasmuch as this blessing- is withheld ' from tlieir brethren at home , who in heart are united with the exiles . _ i At the conclusion of the remarks of the last speaker , the President made a few observations , when the meeting ciosed .

      ALGERIA . The accounts received from Algiers as to the state of tluvt country are by no means satisfactory . In addition to the general insurrection among tlie natives in the western districts of the colony , tlie most unequivocal symptoms ' of discontent have shown themselves in tho other provinces , it is evident Unit the Arabs are kept down by fear alone , and that they watch every opportunity that foffers of recovering their country and liberty . The rule of Marshal Uugeaud is certainly not of a nature to gain the affections of any people , or the approbation of the world . It is everywhere , and on every occasion , characterised by violence , cruelty , and oppression ;

      and . it cannot be , therefore , wondered . at that such proceedings operating on the fanatical feelings of the Arabs against their cemmcrors , should stir up a spirit of resistance . It appears , besides , tliiit Marshal Bugcaud ' s despotism is nut confined t ^ the natives alone . The French colonists and employes are also I ' .-tui in their complaints . M . Blomiel , the directorgeneral of civil affairs in Algeria ,, in consequence of a disagreement with Marshal Ikgeaud , has thrown up his appointment in disgust . The National , in allud . ingto the resignation of M . Bknulel . says that Marshal Bttgeaud has , b ' ; his obstinacy and general misconduct , caused great confusion in the civil government of thf ; colony , and continues to set at dehonce the yhstrnetions of his Government .
