      Breathes there a man with soul so dead , Who never to bimsdf hst ' i said This is my own , my native Land . My Beloved Fjuesds , —Having now determined that tic shall remain a--distinct and separate body , still straggling for the achievement of our political rights , with the resolution to use them for the attainment of soci . il happiness , and having placed the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones , prominently In the catalogue of those concessions to the jopular ¦ srill , which it is ABLE , IF WILLING , to achieve , I address you tkis first day of the New Yesr upou this , to us the most immediately important subject connected with our movement . When we rejoiced in the overthrow of the "basa , bloodv , and brutal

      Whigs , " we appeared to forget that , though they were dead and gone , their measures and cruelties remained after them . How can vre- say that Vhiggevy is dead w ! u > . the Poor Law Amendment Act stilt remains upon the Statute Book I How can we say that we have triumphed while Holterry , Duffy , and Clayton lie coU in their graves ? flow can we say that we have conquered , if our friends are still rgtained by the enemy as hostages ? True , the sli *! ft encouragement given to Lord John Russell during his OCCASIONAL restoration , marked popular aversion to him and his associates ; but yet that triumph must be but poor , mean , and scanty , which is satisfied with the overthrow of ftajenemy , but is sallied by the degradation of our fr&ads .

      I believe , inmysonl ; that if a popular move , a national move , a great and simultaneous move , was now made , fur the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones , that it would bs successful ; while I feel assured that no circumstance would give more general satisfaction , or would more tend to convince the world of our devotion to principle . To me , it is a melancholy fact to know , that , during the seasons of prosperity , the sufferings of our friends are lost sight 6 f in higher wages ; and , indeed , it has been a charge , and no :- an unjust one either , that the working classes are loudest in the advocacy of their principles when they are poorest and least able to advance them . Can any man read 4 he simple but affecting letter from Frost , which , appears at foot ,

      without being moved to a iirin resolution to do what in Mm lies to achieve his restoration to country , to family , to home , and to friends ? It would be needless to travel over ihe beaten ground of informal , and 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 endeavour to create feeling in the brutish mind , 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 teen doac for Frost , Williams , and Jones , that they « ould long since have been restored to such an appeal , but never was there more criminal anathv than that manifested by the trades of Great

      Britain to the sufferings of tuose men . If the English people had acted as the Canadian sesels did , we should now be able to point to our triumph over Whiggery in the restoration of our frien < fe . 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 Doncombe—upon the first day that Parliament assembles . Let every man with a famil y get bis whole household to sign one ; let everv iaau

      in a shop get his every shopmate to sign one ; and he vho 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 irust , and to ask you for a renewal of their tenure , shallknowhowiheyareto be judged , perhaps tfcev mav ha-re bowels of compassion for their

      classmade victims . Bear in mind , that , when threatened with ejectment before , the prison doors were onl y barred by a majority of ene . Let nssee whatef&ct such another threatened visitation may have upon the p iiant Commons . "While whole factions are thinking of their pelf , let us think of our friends—the friends of our principles . Let usBeverforget thefact , that while FroststoodupontiieTerjTergeof eternity ! and while resigned as to his own fate , tliat he anxiously corrected the misrepresentation of our principles by lis counsel . You will learn , with delight , that the glorious Chartists , and noble trades of London , have desidtedjapon honouring onf-great leader with an entertainment becoming the man , upon the night pre-¦ viaos : to the meeting of Parliament / -Let petitions ,

      with miJlionsof signatures ; be read y 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 upon the platform to gladden our heaiis , and prove our devotion to our friends and our principles . Let all other business be laid aside until this , of paramount importance , is done . Let ns devote the first twenty-one days of this year , pregnant with change , to this holy purpose ; and to the women we would say , think of the wives and daughters of ilie exile ? , vie with your husband ? , get up your petitions also , and let the tendernes-- of affection , and the manliness of devotioB , be mingled and joined in ibis juss and holy work .

      Who czz read , or who can hear , the affecting letter from Frusi read , without being moved to tears and roused io action ? What reliance he still places npon his countrymen I How he pardons their criminal apathy , and yet twines hope around their exertions ' l ~ then , Englishmen and Scotchmen ! Oh Ireland , where sleeps tut former glory ? You , whose sons , till debased , were ever foremost in deeds of daring aud patriotism , why should not your sons join in this ho ' : y work ? But Patrick O'Higgins and his

      brave band of patriots may swell the national anthem , rind give to the world some proof that justice still lives in the hearts of Irishmen . For myself 1 am ready to devote every hour of the prescribed time to the good work , and I am as confident as 1 am that I now address you , that our united exertions ¦ will be successful . And oh ! think of such a New Year ' s gift—think of [ such a triumph . 1 hope bl uest Saturday to be able to report the formation of such machinery in London as will give effect to the national will .

      Here loiiows the letter of John Frost : — Mr Deir Sir , —I received your letter of Julv last ( favoured by Mr . -Marshall ) , and a packet of iews-Iiapers , for which accept my best thanks . They were indeed a treat , such as 1 bavc not nad for several wars . During my confinement on Tasman ' s Peninsula for three years and a half , I had scarcely seen a newsp aper ; since 1 came to Hobart Town , in December , !? £ > , I occasionally see a paper , but not often . The local papers give extracts from the Eng lish . papers , uut they are generally of a kind in vh icfl I ice ! but 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 .

      Jiy companions , Williams and Jones , arc both well . Jones was in the police for some time : he was appoin ted to the situation of guaid of the Lauuces ton mail , and about a fortnight ago he bad a ticket of leave , and I understand lie intends to follow hU basiness . Williams is in the police , at a station about twenty miles from liobart Town , called New >" oriolk . He was very desirous to got otlicr employment , but things are here so bad , aud work «> difficult t o be had . " tlsat he could not succeed . The prcducc of the colony has fallen so much in value , that xue -cttiers are rerv badly on " , and notliaviug the meaas toi-ay men , they cannot employ .

      Eilis is iiiil on Tasinau ' s Peninsula ; I heard from him a nil-Bin ngo . He is in pretty good health , but sadlv tired of h's situation . If you have any communicaikia with Mrs . Ellis , inform her that her liustaud in JMt'inbtr last , was still at the same station , the Cascades , but he was in pretty good health . It is < o < liiik-iilt t-j convey anything to a prisoner in those stations , and so dangerous for another prisoner to attempt it , that one is deterred , by the certain ' const

      out-nets , 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 , cf those concerned in the Canadian outbreak have been pardoned , and the rest are in weekly cxpectatio : i to sea their names in the Gazette . From the time 1 li : aid that tiiose engaged in the Canadian affair we beiiig pardoned , 1 Jia « l the greatest eoiiliutnee that we should ultimate ] v be placed in the same

WE HAVE GREAT REASON TO BE GRATEFUL TO 0 UR COUNTRYMEN , and I have no doubt that their exertions will finally bs crowned with success . ALAS ! WHAT HORRORS . WE HAVE EXPERIENCED FROM OUR DESIRE AND ENDEAVOURS TO SERVE THEM ! SURELY ENGLISHMEN ARE NOT UNGRATEFUL ! You will receive this letter about the latter end of

      May or the beg inning of June . By that time you will know what are . th p intentions of the Government as to our pardon . If it be not probable that we shall be nardoncd this year , I shall feel much obliged if you ' will send me as many Northern Svirs or NortJtern Liberators as you can . If they are three or four years old , they will be news to jne , add I feel great interest in reading papers which must . contain subjects of an important : nature ..

I . niay observe , in " passing , tliat 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 , aud the parties entrusted with their receipt Living no notion as to the writer of that document which I should have

      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 , Fbaruus O'Co . vvon .

      FRANCE . It appears that Louis Philippe is determined , little by little , and bit by bit , to adopt the ancient symbols of France and of his family , and which we ' re proscribed by the revolution of 1830 . Thus , the fleurde-lys is beginning to re-appear in certain royal edifices , in figures on the flagstaff * 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

      tules 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 on the throne by a revolution , he is anxious to be as much the legitimate king as signs aud symbols can make him . Such is the state of insecurity which is felt respecting the personal safety of Louis Philippe , that no less than 800 . s oldiers are lodged every night in the Palace of the Tuileries , 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 .

      OrEMXG OF THE ClIiMDEllS . —PilllS , SaTUKDAV , Due . 27 . —In conformity with the royal decree of the 10 of November , thelegislative session wasopened today by the king in person , and with the usual formalities . The Ring haying taken his scat on the throne , delivered the followin < r

      speech . Gentlemen , Peers , and Deputies . —In calling you together around me , I am hapjiv to think tliat we fan con . gratnlate cfich other on the general state of our countrv . 1 am confident tliat tlie good understanding of the powers of the state , aud the maintenance of our policy of order and conservatism , insure more and more the regular devtlopment of our institutions , and the progress of the national prosperity . SI v government has proceeded with the execution of the great works which you have voted . The measures uecessaiy for fully cirryunj them out will . be proposed t « you . We have thus , ina few years , given to France on the one lisnd , powerful guarantees of peace and security , and on the other , the means of extending its fruitful industry , and of-spreading prosperity throughout all parts of our territory and among all classes , of the pojmlatiou . " At the same time that these important results have been -accomplished , the state of our finances has become from day to daymore satisfactory . '¦ - ' ¦ ' ' :- ~ ) . .. :.-. ~ ';' . ' -

      ;> The financisl laws , and otherlaws , "the ^ object of which is ' taintroduce importantanieiidratibnsinto 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 muuy storms will one day do honour to the memory of my reign . The friendship wlii h unites me wiilitUe Q , n « en of Great Britain , and of which she has lately given me so affectionate apioof , aud the mutual confidence of our two governments , have happily insured the good and intimate relations of the two states . The convention co-. icUuled between us to put an ewl to the odious traffic iu slaves , is at this moment iu the course of execution . Thus , bv the cordial co-operation of the maratinie forces of the two states , the slave trade will be effectually put down , and at the same time our commerce will be aj'aiu placed under the exclusive surveillance of our flag .

      I have reason to hope that the great exertion ; of Fr . mce and England will bring about , on the banks of the Plata , the re-establishment of relations commercial , regular , and pacific . Thisistlie only object of our tftom . 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 have taken prompt measures to ensure that the domination of Frauce shall everywhere maintain the force and ascendant which belongs to it . With the aid ot time , our energetic perseverance will lay the foundation of the security and prosperity of Algeria .

      Gentlemen , you have given me your loyal concurrence in the great and difficult task which the will of the nation has called on me to fulfil , i ' rovidcuce h : is blessed our ffiVirts . Ii lias also granted to me precious consolations in my family . Wherever my sons have appeared , 1 have the confidence that they have worthily carried the name of France ^ Jly grandsons increase in number , and grow under my eyes . My dearest wish , and my fondest hope is , that by our devotion to France , by our zeal iu serving it well , Us affection may be insured to us , an ., the intimate uniuu of my country aud family be for ever continued . The Paris papers of Sunday , were of couise occupied with the above speech , which is denouueed by the opposition journals as " the colourless and insipid production of an enervated Administration ; " and the Ministerial Organs themselves do not venture to claim for it any greater merit than that of " Great happiness of expression , and a simplicity which lias its eloquence .

      Electoral Kefoiiu . —For the first time the Knghsh daily papers noticed , on Wednesday last , the iinportaut meeting of the French editors , commented on at length in our seventh page .

      • . .., SPAIN .., ; . .. . - . .. ; We take the following significant intelligence from the'ZiMcs' : — . ""¦ Baiiceloxa , December , 1 $ . —Since " the return of General Breton 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 daysi ? have now " been converted into permanent military positiohs ^ -tlieir walls loopholed , and put in : Mch , a 6 tate ; of , defence ,: that it will require heavy artillery to reduce them . Provisions have been placed in them for a month , and a chief of the army named to defend them .

      1 he garrison of Monjuich lias been doubled , and its artillery put pn a most efficient footing ; both that fort and the citadel are now being provisioned for six months . These measures show clearly tliat Narvaez is resolved to force on Catalonia the measures about whicl : there has been such a continued clamour for years , aud with the difficulties attendiug on which no Ministry has as yet dared to grapple . The manufacturers of Catalonia have heretofore successfully resisted every attempt to admit foreign cotton goods , and , emboldened bv former triumphs .

      are , 1 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 . They say they will raise the standard of rebellion all over Catalonia before they cede . I doubt if they will carry 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 they could not control , aud which is proverbially known to be the most lawless , violent , ami sanguinary population of Spain .

      Additional force is exp « cted to arrive here from other districts , barracks having been ordered to be prepared for 4 , 000 or S flOO 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 hand , and the turbulent and rebellious spirit which has ever marked the Catftlonian 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 fucros , supposed to be destroyed by the constitution , lias been severeW

      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 J /« pitch , and cries were heard to the effect that— " We will do the same to-morrow , or alter . " It is said today that the Captain-General has ordered the repetition of this opera for to-day to be suspended .

      ITALY . AlOVKMESIS OF THE RUSSIAN AUTOCRAT . —TllC Diado of Home announces the arrival of the Emperor of Russia in that city on the 13 th instant , travelling under the title of General ltomauoff . lie took up his residence in the Palace Giustihiani , the s ..-at ot the Russian embassy . We extract the following on this subject from the Qaotidieanc : — We Jiavo received letters from Rome of the loth . The Emperor Nicholas had arrived during the night , ; . nd in the morning , at eleven , he went to the Vatican in the carriage of ii . de Buuten : eff , who was seated at his right , and alone with him . The aidee-de-camp 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 . some inquiries as to the Emperor ' s journev , the

      Pope introduced him into his cabinet , where he remained an hour and a quarter with him and M , de BoutenR-ft ' . Cardinal Acton ' acted- as'interpreter ,- ¦ On leaving the Emperor presented to the Sovereign Pontiff the persons of his suite , and , ? fter a few words , the Emperor withdrew . It is , of course , impossible to ttll or even guess at the result of this interview . But we could read in the faces of the two sovereigns rather an expression ol friendship than distrust . We may also allude to the i > riirious state of things . It is known that the Emperor comes ts solicit a dispensation for the inarriisge of his daughter with the ArchduKc , and it appears that he had never given any orders which could have authorised the recent persecutions by » schismatic bishop , and had promised that rigH investigation should take place , and the bishop be exiled to . Silierin , if the charges against him were proved . On his side , Hie I ' ope had demanded tli . it a nuncio should be recfived at St . Petersburg , and that the Hucrtj of the Catholics should be acknowledged . A letter from Florence of Dec . 19 th says : —

      The Emperor Nicholas arrived here this morning at six o ' clock , accompanied by Count Orlotl ' . The Grand Duke liad given orders to have the Pitti palace prepared for liis reception , hut the Emperor desiring to guard his incognito alighted at the Hotel d'ltalic . The Grand Duke called at nine o ' clock to pay him a visit , hut the Enipeioi had not risen . The Grand Duke sent two hours after to iuvite the august traveller to a graiid dinner at the court , and a conceit , The Emperor declined all invitations and hoiieure , expressing a wish to dine without ceremony with the Grand Ducal famil y . In the course of the day , the EMiperor went to return the Grand DviUfc ' s -visit . lie was dressed in the uniform of the Iletinan of the

      Cossacks , and was accompanied by Count OrlotV . Prince Paul , of Wurtemberg , also received a visit from the Emperor , who , however , did not enter tlie apartment , but merely had the names of Count Orion and General itomanoll' inscribed at the door . The two interviews of the Pontiff and the Emperor are much spoken of here . Notliing otlicial is yet kuuwn of the result . Although he spent considerable sums of money in the purchase of mosaics aud pictures , and gave away a good deal of money iu charity , his reception was , on the whole , rathur cold on the part of the Uomun populati on . The Empiror is tu quit Florence to-morrow , or on the ' . ' 1 st at furthest . His intention is to go by Kolomna , to Vcukc , where he will pass a day . aud thence to Vienna direct .

      ihe following is an extract of a letter from Flolence , of tlie 20 tli : — Kienzi , the leader of the last insurrection in the Koiiingua , wlio escuiivil icci-mlv n on . lUreeilleS . has Iwen arrested at Florence . He is carefully 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 time in order that he may get some promise of mercy from ihe Pope . M . Murtiuc , the umk-r secretary of state , has bctu sent to Il » ine as envoy from Tuscany , to settle the differences between the two Suites .

This portion of the correspondence contains the last letter of Mr . Pakeiihain , declining- the compromise of the 49 th parallel offered by the President , and the last letter of Mr . Buchanan , withdrawing that proposition , and re-asserting the American claim to the wholeof the territory .

      llus matter is now in a most interesting positionin the very crisis of its destiny . It was thought at Urst that all negotiation had been exhausted , and as the proposal for arbitration had been rejected by our . uoyeriimcnt , the next step would present a serious iljlhculty , and a probable interruption of the peaceable relations between the two countries . We have information , which we can rely upon , that it is not so . It appears that negotiation has been rc-opencd by Mr . I ' akcnham , ai-. d the probability is , that tilings wjll go on for some time without any thin " calculated to create difficulty , or impair the present position ot our relations with England . The inquiry now will bo made , " what are the new instructions received by Mr . l ' altciiham ? or what , is now- proposed by England to terminate the difference ?

      It is well known , that the great difficulty in settling this plotter , grows out of that strip of territory which lies batween the 49 th degree of north latitude and the Columbia River , embracing Pugot ' s 5-Mind , which contains the only good harbour in the whole territory . If the American government , with its unquestionable claims to the wholcterritorv so clearly and forcibl y sot forth by Mr . Buchanan should give up that portion of the territory with tinonly harbour , it might as well uive up " the whole territory . . But , by the renewed effort of the British government to compromise-the matter , and from other indications , we have reason to believe that Mr . lakcnham may otter anew bouwlavy , dividing this disputed section , passing by tho head of IVet ' s Sound , and giving tho British this harbour , embracing the land a bpufcto the northward . Wedonot uunk that our . ^ overnnient will accept suoh a pvopo" eT * ? ni 1 lt wiUl'ccedefromthe one before made , of the 49 th degree . ' -f . '¦¦ ¦ ¦ : ¦ ' f ., . - ¦ ¦¦¦¦¦'

      • In tne meantime , pending the negotiation , there is no doubt that both parties . will .. proceed to make arrangements , 4 u ;; vie $ ; vof 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 the 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 tf / ritoro , for the protection of American citizens ' . itthns 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 pas * ;\ law organising a territory —admitting Dr . White as a deli-gate—and forming a mail route to the 1 ' acific , without , however , cmbracing any action which may embarrass the conflicting points of dillerenccstill under negotiation between tiie two governments .

      PROJECT FOR " ANNEXING" MEXICO TO TUB UNiTKD STATES ' . [ From the New York Herald of Dec . loth-l A very Important stage in the intercourse between the United Slates and Mexico , lias now commenced . Mr . Polk , in his recent message , announced tliat the negotiation between tlie two countries , which had been interrupted by the annexation of Texas and which was terminated by the abrupt departure ol Mr . Almonte last sprimr , has buen renewed ; and that Mr . Slidell , of Louisiana , is sent to open fresh diplomatic intercourse , for the purpose of settling the important questions in dispute between the two countries . This was official . Of the nature of the new negotiations , we are enabled to gather somo intimations brought by recent arrivals in various ways from Vcra Cruz via Havana , Ponsacola , New Orleans , and Washington .

      By those accounts we learn that propositions have been informall y placed before tlie Mexican government by an agent of the United States , proposing the Rio Grande del Norte as the boundary between the two countries , and also embracing a proposition to purcluwe New California , as far south as the Gila river , at the head of the Gulph of California . It is further stated that a . sum varying from live to ten or perhaps twenty millions of dollars , has been named to be paid by the United States by way of imloinnitv tor those new countries and the fresh boundaries between Mexico and the 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 lias commenced , and no 0110 can tell where it will terterniinate .

      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 tor the purpose of uniting tlm two Republics , and for the annexation of Mexico to the United States , or of ihe United States to Mexico , as you please to express it , and thus presenting to thu world a Republic unequalled , even in the imaginations of visionaries of past times , or of the present age . There is nothing to prevent the union of the two republics on the same principal by which Florida , Louisiana , aud now Texas and Oregon , will be added to this republic . In every point of view it would bs u happy and fortunate thing tor the Mexican States to Iihvc a stnblo . uovcr > imc ! : t in tliat beautiful region , and to put an end to the long series of revolts , insurrections and revolutions , which have characterised t ^ uit country for the last thirtv ve ars . The union

      CMild bo eii ' eeted immediately by authorising the Mexican States to elect representatives in proportion to the iwmilatiou , ou the sumo Wis r . s exists in this country , by the last , census . The diversity of religion tuid language is wt an insurmountable objection to such a project . Wo sec iii this republic , Catholics and Protestants , all uniting to cany 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 politically , such a union would be a benefit to both countries : A republic of such a description , embracing tlie United States and Mexico , would comprehend all the great gold and silver mines of the world , the greatest cotton {' . rowing country , the greatest wlleat growing country , in fact , pos-sufciui ; a monopoly of every thing that is valuable and riuh on the face of ihe

      Untitled Article

      earth . Ihe population of the two countries would then amount to thirty millions , and the number of voters-would be about five millions . We have , existed in this republic for nearly two thirds of a f . .. ntur >' :.. muler a , E-ite of government preserving lite , and liberty , and property , far beyond any thin " the military government of Europe can show The new republic , formed by the union of the United States and Mexico , would present the same features and give to the Mexican States sonic promise of that happiness which they never yet have had , and which the tumults and revolutions of the last thirtv years have shewn they never can possess without ; the ' infusion of some powerful element of civilisation into their government . That element must come from the grand reservoir of Anglo-Saxon energy and stability . SuclLis the plan which is now forming for the union ot the United States and Mexico . It embraces in . magnitude , mighty results , and will be the cause of making great changes in the old world and in the ; COMMEMORATION OF Till ? POLISH REVOKVcS ; , ° I 1 S 30 > AT TUE STUYVESANT lMs 111 U 1 Li . LFrom the New York Jforning News office . 1 18-151 : The lecture room of the Institute , was filled on Saturday evening , November 29 th , iby a largo and highly respectable audience , who listened with extreme delight to the various exercises of the occasion . The chair was occupied by tlie lion . Win . T . M'Cqun , as president , . assisted by lion . Judge Oakley , as vicepresident , and very many of our most noted and patriotic citizens were in attendance . A fair—very fair delegatios of the softer sex , also graced the celebration . On the right of the Chair were clustered tho Italian guard , ( Captain Averzani ) , in their rich uniforms of green and crimson , and on the left were gathered the members of the Scandinavian Seciety . In the rear of the platform , appeard the Polish white eagle , surrounded b y thecntwiued banners of Poland , Scandinavia , France and America , while the-large area of the amphitheatre was filled with the natives

      ol nearly every European nation , and many of our own distinguished citizens . It was an occasion of no ordinary interest , and the frequent applause from different portions of the assembly , as each in turn , luswd the peculiar and familiar language of his childhood ' s home , in eloquent appeals , not only for the liberty of Poland , but for the freedom of the whole human family , evinced most strongly the depth , fervour , aud progress of republican principles among the exiles from the despotic rule of the monarches ot Kiirope . After a few remarks from the president , a letter from the Hon . L . Bradish was read , stating liis inability of attending on account of the severe illness of a relative . ' 1 he reading of the letter was i ' oliowed by Johu Jay , Esq ., in a speech replete with nervous thoughts , passing in review , briefly , but graphically , the principal evcnts | in the history ' of Poland , lie concluded by ottering the following resolutions , which were unanimously adopted . —

      1 st . Tliat the wrongs of Poland involves pi-ineijilcs 0 : right , justice , " and humanity , peculiar to no laud , but of universal interest , and that the tyranny perpetrated by Russia , and eoumeiiadcu by the stilish apathy of &iuv rounding Europe , demand from the American people the uxpression of stern indignation against the perpetrators , and of generous sympathy for the victims of their oppression . 2 nd . That the history of Poland , from its fivst partition in 1772 , to the present time , teaches lessons of grave importance—that little dependence can bo placed upon the magnanimity and good faith of cabinets , when opposed by ambition aud sulf-interest , that a nation ' s best security is in tlie virtue and vigilenee of the people—the strict accountability of its rulers , and absolute exemption of all foreign influence .

      3 rd . Tliat tlie I ' oluh Revolution of 1 S 30 , 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 tht ! part of Poland , no less by determined and patriotic ; valour , than by moderation and clemency towards those in wliosu cvutlty it lwd originated ; and that its failure , e : \ used by thu 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 % source of deep and pcrttiuuent affliction to all who truly value those eternal principles of freedom , which were proclaimed to the world in the lXclaration of American Independence .

      • 1 th . That the spirit ot nationality , the great elements of a people ' s power , and that , in this spirit , so religiously K »;; talivc in dismembered Poland , and so beautifully exnibited among her patriot sons scattered in foreign lands , we recognise the surest guarantee for her restoration to the roll of independent nations , when the free principles , now rapidly advancing through the world , shall have accomplished the end to which they are inevitably tending . Theodore Sedgwick , Esq ., supported the resolutions in a speech replete with vigour and feeling , and which elicited frequent applause from tho large and sympathising audience . He : was followed , in Italian , by M . Foresti . His beautiful Tuscan electrified the audience , for he touched a chord to which evri-y manly heart must

      respond . He said that nationality is , for mankind , vyhat individualism is to a nation—tliat without the t ' ultihnent of theduties of either mankind would be a great sufferer ; and hesaid that there was more than a fUlow-feeling between Italy and Poland . Those two nations are burdened wtth fetters ; they are bath uhjantie , but touched with the finger of the angry God ; yet the power of the despot must yield to perseverance , as witness the indomitable spirit of the mountaineers oi' Caucasus . Thu speaker , alluding to the occasion of the evening , compared it to tho invocation of the gods by Hannibal before the altar , and

      in the presence of llamilcar . lie said that this commcnuiratiun 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 ihe Muscovites , and as having common interest with the Poles . Finally , he spoke with charming simplicity of soul , to the Americans , as enjoying the fruits of liberty , bespeaking at their hands warm sympathies for tlie oppressed , while they would keep their hearts tree from indifference to tyranny .

      At the conclusion Dr . Wicrzbicki , with his usual terse manner , pointed out the spirit of generosity and devotion to the cause of humanity that pervades the Polish history , aud animadverted with just indignation on those who falsified it , as , for instance , Allison , lie spoke of the real causes that brought on the fall of Poland , and , in conclusion , he drew ;< graphic picture of the future prospects of humanity , through the agency of Poland and America . ^ Professor llebe , of Stockholm , who spoke in Swedish , in a masterly discourso maintained that , without nationality , nations have perished , aud thai Italy and Poland having preserved it , have a guarantee of the future realisation of their hopes .

      Air . 11 . Kalussowski , who addressed the audience in elegant French , thanking them for their kind attention , said that the Poles in exile must profit from this freedom of speech , aud tell of their , country and her hopes , inasmuch as this blessing is withheld from their brethren at home , who in heart are united with the exiles . At . tho 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 that country are by no means satisfactory . In addition to the general insurrection among the natives in the western districts of the colony , the most unequivocal symptoms of discontent have shown themselves iu the otlicr provinces , lt is evident that the Arabs are kept do vn by feu- alone , and that they watcli every opportunity that eflors of recovering their country ami liberty . The rule of Marshal liugeaud 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 bv violence , cruelty , and oppression ;

      and it cannot be , therefore , wondered at tlut such proceedings operating on the fanatical feelings of the Arabs against their conquerors , should Etir up a spirit of resistance , lt appears , besides , that Marshal IJugcaud ' s despotism is not confined to the natives alone . The French colonists and employes arc also louu in their complaints . M . Blotulcl , the dircctorgcucrul of civil attains in Algeria , in consequence ot ' a disagreement with Marshal Bugcaud , has thrown up liis appointment in disgust . The National , in alluding to the resignation 01 M . Blondel , says that Marshal IJugMttM has , by his obstinacy and general misconduct , caused great confusion in the civil government oi' Die colony , and continues to . sot at delumcc the instructions of his Government .
