It is of conese nothing but (peculation to at tempt at this time to attire at Just conclusions ai to the policy or the incoming .administration.? *'' 8t!)l, the indications thus Tar, in and out of Con ' 'gKfk ???'? sufficiently accurate to enable ua tc firm some kind of an estimate as tosomeofiti '1 leading measures, and particularly as to its for policy. It is now made apparent that the , foreign policy of our Federal Government will re ' main, so far at least as European questious are con cerned, on the basis established by Washington, namely, "friendly relations wi.h all, entangling alliances with none,"" and despite the efforts ol demigogues to create the Kossuth mania, and then to ride into power on its breezes, that the mature ' .and balanced judgement of the great body of the people, of both political parties, has settled down upon the conservative and national principles, ' adopted by ourrerolutionary lathers, and acted up on by all the administrations of both parties, from that period down to the present. We have ever been a firm believer in the sober second thought of our citizens, and ^though we are human enough to 'know tbat by forceof-excitement, and under the high pressure system so often induced by an inflamed press, and designing leaders, weareall too apt to give an imprudent* expression of our sentiments, ' _ yet when the occasion has passed and we give ourselves time to think, our people are ready to see their true policy, and to act accordingly. Thus has it been crith the Kossuth humbug. He was ^ caught up, on his arrival amongst us, by the differ ent presidential aspirants or their friends, inflated byover puff ng, and thusinade to act a part, a'nd to caume an importance, and to make pretensions which we are well satisfied the prudent Ex-Gover ' nor of Hungary (so prudent in his resignation,) - Would otherwise never have attempted. ~ .'Hfc has now passed away; and with his comfort able '-matt rial aid" in his pockets, is spending hi3 time very pleasantly in England?while the "du 'pem duped," who remain behind in the persons of ?nndry prominent politicians, Whigs and Demo t aTe uP?n a plankless foundation, without ' even the consolation of public sympathy in their ' tnfsfortunes. This is as it should l>e. The best men of both parties and the great body of the peo ' pie are sound upon this national question, and will * decide in favor of affording every facilily for pro *tfcctioh to foreigners here, and letting European n"G&vertments take care of their own concerns. As to Cobfa, we have nothing to say at present other than to commend the position taken by prominent j'&nxferats in Congress, merely tbat no European ifoVenhnent other than Spain shall have any con cern with the internal concerns of the American *'Continent, except so far as such Governments may already have possessions in America. This is as it should be. Mr* Monroe has long aideie laid down this as part of the national 'policy of our Government; and we hope to see it ' made perpetual by all our Administrations, no mat ter of what party. Foreign Governmentsshouldcon tlnue sucl*. Thi y should be kept upon their own "soil and should be compelled to let America take care' of and manage her own concerns. For our own part, we have for some time supposed that Hayti was much more likely to claim the attention of our government. France is getting up a pretended ''claim to that Island, alleging a sort of mortgage right on it, and seeking in (act. to re-establish her silfnpon the western'continent- The inhabitants of ' that Island are in a semi-civilized state, ready to fall Intb tK4 arms of the first comer. If our Filibus ' ters want territory, we wonder that they have not selected Hayti rather than Cuba, as they could urge as a rt ason for taking that Island, the same argu ment used against the Indians of our continent, namely, the necessity of civilization. But enough of speculation for the present, and we may close qur article, by expressing the hope tbat the 'entire policy of the new administration mav be ns sound and national as it propiises to be, upon tbp . questions to which we harp referred. All that we ^desire is to have a wise and good administration, ^ahdifour Democratic friends supply us with one, "as we hope they may, we shall le'woie than grati ?"ieS, sod shall at all times be prepared to award to 1 to It all proper commendation, t!* ? .

' A dispatch ?u yesterday received from Mr. Kerr Iransmitling a copy of a letter to him from Senor Castellon, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, who declines, on the part of the Nicaraguan Govern ment, to comply with the Presnlenfi request expresses a wish that the reason on wWeh M M founded be given, to be submitted to th*.

To Senor Don Jose de Marcoleta, etc., etc. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune assigns the following reasons for this step on the part of our Government: It grew out of Mr. Marcoleta's course pending the negooiation of the famous treaty pf mwliation and settlement between hngland, the United States and Costa Rica, which Mr. Marcoleta utterly op posed and Nicaragua afterwards rejected. Duung thistime, it is alleged that, finding himself crowd ed and the interesls of Nicaragua likely ?o be sa crificed to England and Costa Rica, the protege ol England, he indulged in some ratherundiploma tic language with respect to Mr. Webster ond the Administration, and also undiplomatically made public the date of the negociations through the journals -f this country. For this. Mr. Webster demanded his recall. It is said also thatMr. Everett feel, himself aggrieved by the late publish ion.by Mr. Marcoleta or with his consent, of the official note addressed to the Nicaraguan Minister, as well as to all other members of the diplomatic corps here, of Mr. Everett on his accession to office. It was published io show that t his Government recognized Mr. M. as a Envoy in good stinding, when it was by no means inten led by its author to go be Tort the world as an endcrsement of Mi. M.'s official character. The Flood. The Brookvrlle (la.) American says that the damage to the Whitewater canal, from Harrison to Cambridge, will amount to #100,000. The same paper says: "The damage to individuals, in various ways, on both branches of the river cannot be less than 8600,000. Nor in this do we include the loss which the valley will lose in the decrease in the price of produce. The loss to citizens of Brookville is not less than 840.000. The entiie loss of the canal, and of individual losses, aud the depreciation of corn and wheat, and the loss of time in repairing mills, farms, (fee., will not be less than 81,600,000 to the Whitewater valley. The damage to the soil of the farms is at least 8100,000." The Bedford (la.) Advocate says that the loss on the two White rivers will reach a million of del lars. This, however, must be a very extravagant estimate. Mr. Lewin Bailey, who was packing pork near Bedford, lost a quantity of pork and lard. irr-The citizens of Orleans, la., suffered consi derably by the recent floods. The loss at Cambridge City, la., it is supposed, will amount to 8100,000. Messrs. Dinsmore &. Conklin were the principal sufferers. The following, we copy from the Indinnapolis Journal: "The Indianapolis and Bellefontame railroad did not sustain any damage. "The Peru and Indianapolis line likewise escap ^"TheLafayette and Indianapolis Railroad Com pany lost tho bridge over Crooked creek, five miles from this city, and their bridge across Fall creek, near the city, settled four feet at the south end.

Mr. Kennedy answered the letter of Judge Brsgg promptly, feelinrly, and eloquently. He informed Judge B. that he would with pleasure, order the Fulton to JVV ashingtoq, and place her at the disposal of Col. K. to proceed to Havana on any day he might name. This kitjd offer was acknowledged and accepted, and the steamer will be here on Tuesday next, "be let ter of the Secretary is creditable to the head apd heart of its author, and I anticipate the pleasure of transmitting a copy of it to you in a day or two. From the Alexandria (Va.) Gazette. The Trade of the Nor(l(-Wost The trade of the North-Western portion of Vir ginia ought to be centraljn this place. Alexandria is the proper and legitimate p:int for the reception and transportation of the products of that section of the State; and it is unnatural to see them earned into another State and used to build up cities there, to the injury of our own. The Richmond Enquirer publishes fcn article upon the resources of Marion county, as a specimen of what the North-West can do. "This little county lies on the Mononga hela river, at a point fo which steamboata only of the smallest denomination can ascend, and then only during the spring and fall freshets. The pro duoeofthat county was hitherto carried by flat boats down the river to Brownsville and Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania, to which places a considerable traffic in lumber will still be continued.- From Fairmont (the ojuL'.y site) to Baltimore is a distance of thiee hundred miles, aud the railroad between the two places crosses the great Allegheny range of moun tains. Yet, we see, from the fine spirit of the peo ple, that transportation over these thiee hundred I miles of railroad will work a revolution in their af I fairs; indeed, has worked an entire revolution in tho management of farm* and the prospects of the farmers." In view of these l'act?, the Enquirer well asks: "What shall we say of Eastern members, who have driven almost the whole of North-West ern Virginia (enough for a little sovereign State) with her great resourcts, into the lap of Baltimore, to the privation and impoverishment of their own sea-port towns! Where is Alexandria? Is she not one of the finest interior ports in the Union, and much nearer the county of Marion than Baltimore? So, indeed, is the wholeof theNcrth-Westera sec tion of Virginia. The two, three or five hundred1 timuand dollar* worth of trade from Marion might just as well be poured into Alexandria, and the pro fit derived from ill exportation or consumption contributed to the common stock of wealth at home - as abroad. It would, at least, increase the aggre ?te amount of taxable subjects, if we could ap ." *?i the connexion in a sense no higher.

In the United States C-rcuit Court fcr Rbode Is land, on Thursday last, Judge I'.tman read tl.e opinion af Justice Curtis, in the case ?f Wm. H Green, vs Nathanial M. Briggs et al., j11'''?! the constitutionality of the Maine Liquor Law. We find in the Providence Journal the following a j ^ThVactUm was'rep?evin forcertain spirituous li quors, committed to the defendants M ConstaWes of reassess" tion of the case involved important ^uest.ons an sing under the Constitution and lawI of States. Judge Curtis, in giving his opinion, cited the lOtli and 15th sections of article 1st of the Constitu ""sec" 10 iln all criminal prosecutions the accused shsll enjoy the right to a speedy and bv an impartial jurv; to be informed of the no lure and cause of the accusation, to be confront ed" Uh the witnesses against him, to bneeon nulsory process for obtaining them in his favor, to have^ the assistance of counsel in fa. defence, and Shalt be at liberty to speak for himself, nor shall he be deprived of life, liberty or P^P"1*'by " ^'c.e^e.DThe ngh^of'trial by jury^ shall remain o^lu-X jury fiop hori in those classes of cases in which it had been practised do>v n to the time when the ConsUtution was framed, and such trial is to be substantially in accordance with sucl: modes of proceeding t en existed, or might thereafter be devised by the Legislature, without impairing the Hut in all crimnal cases the right to a trial ny lury accompanied by {he other privilege, enumerated and defined, U al solutely to exist. 2 and iroMhe VeTu^pressU of Drinking as ssw? csassRr obl.in . 1.1.1 by tice of peace increased fivefold if the quantity of the liquor seized should exceed, as in this case it did exceed, five gallons. In the constitutional provision that no person shall be deprived ~.f "life liberty, ur property, unless by the judgement of bis peers or the law of the land," the phrose "the law of the land" had been construed to mean "by due process of law." This provision of the act also conflicted with section 14th of the Constitution, "every man be ing presumed innocentuntil be is pronounced guil ty by law, 110 act of security which is not neces sary to secure an accused person shall be permit ted." The act also conflicted with the clause re quiring that the accused should be informed of the "nature and cause of the accusation." r This act did not require that any particular person should be charged, and in the case at bar the complaint charged no one. The process was defective also for want of certainty in specifying the liquors to be seized. It wss also defective in not charging fully the crime upon which the trial was to be had., The accused had not only an absolute right to a trial by jury, but also a right to be so charged that when that trial takes place the jury should pass upon the whole charge. But the act provided, in the case of an appeal, where liquors seized shall exceed five gallons, if the final decision shall be against the appellant, he shall be adjudged a. "common sel ler," and be sentenced as such, so that he might be convicted of this bigbe> offence without being charged withit, and without a trial by jury of one of the facta essential to constitute it.' But even if the proceedings against the person and the proper ty were repairable, and the only result was a for feiture of the property, the complaint would still be so deficient in the requisite, certainty as to be badforthat cause. He consequently held the order of forfeiture in valid; first, because there was no sufficient com plaint, and sepondly, because the complainant was deprived of his property,by a criminal prosecution, in which he neither had nor could have atrial by jury, without submitting to conditions which the Legislature had no constitutional power to impqse. The Court ^thought the order not simply voidable, but absolotel)' void; the magistrates having no ju risdiction over the proceedings.
