Among :he numerous items of interest furnished by cui ~|h;cUl1 Washington correspondent this morn ing, wi find that Gen. Scott actually wrote a letter las: winter, which not only favors tbs Compromise, but meets with equal approbation from Southern whigs as well a? Northern free soilers. How tho General has contrived t? season this " hn-ty plate ?f sonp" so as to tickle the palates of these politi cal antipodeans. is a mystery which will soon bo solved by the publication of his letter. At all rveuts, it is doubtful whethsr this epistle can now t?e of any great service to him. It has been de tained from the table too long, anil beeonio cold; while Mr. Fillmore lias been satisfying the Keutuck* iars. Louisianians, &c., with a substantial compro mise meal, cooked in n plain way, and easy of di jre^tion. The difficulty between the United States Collector ?t Astoria and tho Hudson's Bay Company, will probably be amicably arranged by the British Min kUr at Washington. The agents of the company, an intentionally perhaps, mistook the meaning of the Oregon treatv, and carried goods for third parties ?cress onr territory, free of duty. They will bo set *??ht by Mr. Crampton. More petitions were presented in the United States Senate, yesterday, from Ohio and Michigan, in favor of granting additional aid to the Collins steamers. The people of tbo various States, if wo arc to judge of their feelings by the petitions they aw transmitting to Congress, thoroughly under stand the importance of sustaining this line as a great national enterprise, and are unwil ling that it should bo allowed to fall through for want of sufficient support. From the action of the Senate committees with regard to the numerous other proposed linos of steamers, *, mn to Ireland, Africa. &c., it is inferred that Senators intend only to favor the granting of aid to thoss lines already established. After disposing of considerable unimportant preliminary business, the Senate took up Mr. Clarke's non-intervent ion resolutions, when Mr. Sonic, of Louisiana, took the floe>r. lu anticipation of this event, a large number of ladies were attracted to the Capitol? more than sorld gain admission? all anxious to hear the -pc?ch of this distinguished State Rights' democrat. Mr. Sonic opposed the doctrinc of non-intervention, and avowed that even Washington and Jefferson locked upon it as a transient measure, called for bv the necessity of the time? in which they lived. L'po? the whole, he made by far the most convinc ing speech that we have yet seen in support of General Cass's doctrine of intervention. There was another long debate in tho Hou^e of Representat ives, yesterday, on tho Deficiency Appro priation bill. Some of the democrats were particu larly opposed to tho enormous expenses of the Quar ter-master's department . They disliked the literal throwing away of money in New Mexico, where fcur "ix, and ten price? are allowed to have been paid for forage, fuel, rent, &c. Our territorial Interests certainly require looking alter ,norc Aarp'y. Both our civil and military arrange ments' must be sadly out of joint, else we should not hear so many complaints ot noglec , mismanagement , corruption, and utter disregard of national and territorial affairs. Mr. Houston, (dem.) of Alabama, ns chairman of the Cominittco of Wavs and Means, urgently recommended tho pas sage of the bill before, the House; but at the samo fetor acknowledged that there was evidently a lack ?f economy on the part of many of tlw officers of government. In the course of the morning, it was announced that tho flare-up between Messrs. Dun ham and Fitch, democrats, of Indiana, had been amicably settled; so there will be no immediate use In the priee ef gunpowder. It is understood that the Committee on Rivers and Harbors will shortly report a bill appropriating *1,200.000. for works of a purely national character. Vo favor will be ehown to the proposition for the establishment of a permanent Board of Army and Sai v officers and Civilians? the affairs to which it was suggested this Board should give it? attention, will probably be placed under the control of a Bu reau in the Treasury I'< partment. From Albany, we learn that the moralising in flux >.?? of the Sabbath had the effect of somewhat eoolmg and modifying the har-li feeling of Senators lowai <l" one another. The discussion of the journal ?f the boisterous proceedings iu Tncsday'sesesutive ,c?*;on, was avoided yesterday. A committee was appointed to investigate the extraordinary conduct of Me-srs. Piatt, Upham and Pierce; and the Senn'e went to woik upon thebusinesiof the po-pl*. Mike Walsh, in the Assembly, expressed liirns< It" ver\ strong ly against the rei-ort of the Canal Letting inves ti orating committee. He spoke of the avaricious and rr .i-THi.g speculators of all partics-he made no dis tinction? and 'aid there was no denying that the a;ost unprecedented frnu l and corruption had been )ira< liaed. Thr bill imping fines and penalties on railroad comi?niefl. for employing persons who use j ntvxieating drinks, was considered at length, lu ; ts present shape, this bill is about as stringent n? , ihc Maine law.

' 1 ' " * " UlhwH.^ Imliniun f Aaurlea, ^ The despotism that now reigns securely all over Europe ic destined to have a moat extraordinary cffect upon emigration from the aid ooontry to the now. It will cumulate it info a degree of activity unprecedented in the history of thin country, or of any nation of the world, while it* influence upon the destinies of the United State* is beyond the cal culation of tbe human niiud. In all ages of the world, extensive emigrations hav? been produced by political and religious causea. The persecution of the Israelites drove them out of Egypt, to settle in Palatine, after forty yearn' wan dering in the wilderness; and the migrations of tho ancicnt (.'reeks were causcd by war, and rnpine, and extermination; and those of the Hons, and Goths, and Vandals, who overran western Europe, and mined the gigantic Roman empire* sprang from the same causes. tJroaf Britain would never have been the mighty power that she is, but for the ancient migrations into tho island, and tho fusion of tho ui#ft enterprising and the most vigorous rates of the earth. The persecutions of tho " Pilgrim Fathers" brought that hardy, sturdy rooc from Old England to New England, where, by a singular retribution of Providenec, they afterwards defeated j tbe armies of the mother country, ami in co-opc ra | tion with other emigrants driven from their native I land by oppression, wrought out tho indepen dence of tho colonies, and In id tho foundation of such a rc public and such a nation as the world has never seen. Even recently in this country, persecu tion tor "pinion lias bad its effect in producing a mi gration, whose extraordinary character is only equalled by the exodus from Egypt? the march of the Mormons over the desert, to the great valley of tho Salt Lake, where they have grown into a mighty poople. Emigration has been produced from time to time, like the swanning of boos, by the pressure for room and food, leading to a flitting and the formation of new hives. But the grand cause? that which has al ways produced the greatest amount of emigration, and particularly emigration en masse ? is political oppression, and most of all, after wars and the failure of revolutionary movements. Since the failure of the Irish revolution in 1848, the emigration of the people to this country is enor mous, beyond all example. During the laet two or three years, the emigration of the German popula te n, from the same cause, has increased to a wonder ful extent; and as despotim is growing stronger every day in Germany, and the cause will continue in operation, the effect will also continue. With the exception of the inhabitants of Great Britain and Ireland, the Germans possess the groatest facilities, in point of language, in settling here, for there are vast numbers of Germans before them who speak their native tongue, and constitute the link that unites them to tbe social and political ohain. The Italians and French, and such Hungarians as do not speak German, labor ttuder great disadvantages in that respect ? the French not so much as the others, but still to such an extent as hitherto to prevent large emigration; but recent events will overcome all these obstacles, and despair of ever seeing liberty and prosperity at home, will induce vast num bers to come out to this great field for hu man enterprise, where there is *room enough for all, and every man can enjoy not only physical plenty, and even comforts and luxuries, as the reward of his lnlor and exertions, but complete civil and re ligious freedom, such as was never possessed by a nation before. There is not a ray of hope for repub licanism or constitutional government on the conti nent of Europe. Louis Napoleon is firm in his scat, and will form such a league with tbe other despots around him that the absolute government of each one will be sustained by all the others, in the event of a revolutionary struggle to over throw it. Tho tide of emigration will, there lore, continue to swell, and the greater tho num ber of emigrants the more firmly will despotism be established in Europe; for it will be thus re lieved ofa troublesome class of restless spirits, and be permitted to enjoy undisturbed possession of it* power by the men of law and order who remain be hind : and this result, on the other hand, will keep up the emigration of those who love freedom bettor than home, so that, in the course of the next ten years, the emigrants to this country will be counted by millions, and the effect mi developing its gigantic resources, and in swelling the population, will be tremendous. In the nations of antiquity, migrations were generally destructive to the people among whom tho migratory hordes cumc? for they w<rc warlike, and conquered or drove out the natives. In fact, they were large armies, accompanied by their wives and children ; and being driven out by stronger nations, they made weaker ones their prey in turn. The hordes which come from Europe to tho United States are men of peace, coalesce with the population, and adopt their institutions ; and, *trange a* it may appear, it is nevertheless a fact, that dcspotismln Eu rope is for tbe interest of this country. If Europeans enjoyed liberty and prosperity at home, they would not abandon their natal soil, where lie the bones of their ancestors, and brave the perils.of the ocean to j srek an asylum in a strange laud. But not enjoy i ing these blessing?, they come in quest of them to I tbe New W orW; and even the seditious, the rebel i lious, and revolutionary become useful citizens? friends of law and order? in the United States. Somo j oi these spirits, it ir true, entertain extreme opi : nions, that would peril the i>eaee and integrity of ; this republic il tbrv prevailed to any great extent; but they arc counteracted by othrr influences, and tluir growth is choked; so that what was so formi dable in Europe is powerless here. The foreign ele ment i? so absorbed and moulded by the plastic influence of the .American raec ;uid their institutions that it is lost, and is only ?<;on in if* effects upon tho growth and health of the body politic; like food, which, taken into tbe human ?ystem,docs not ehaogo I it to its own nature, but is itself changed and assi | milatcd to the body, which it dcvelopes, supports, and ?u-tfins. The greater the number of emi grants. therefore. wlio visit our shore", the gruator and the more vast will be our prosperity, and tbe ' more rapidly will the wealth and poircr of the nation ! be unfolded. This, as we have ?jd, is jvj-uliar to .America.

Tin Greek* wore roorc distinguished for their mi grations than any other nation of antiquity.

The progres* ef mercantile industry and maritime dis covery was coupled with the cultivation of the nobler arts, and the owning of new intellectual fields in a degree to which history affords no parallel before the commencement of the latest period ef European ei viliratiou. The arts, refinement, aud waalih wore developed much more rapidly in the Asiatic colonies than in the mother country, where they were not equally favored by nature, and wore also chocked by intestine troubles. The cities of tho colonists wore distinguished by a degree of IU11117 unknown in tiwof, and Corinth alone could l?c compared to ' them for the cultivation of the arte of peace. It. is a ' curiouB fact that the eolouists brought buck to the 1 old land improvements in ship buildiug, navigation, I and ether arts, just as the Americans have been cn- I lightening the mother country at the Ut? exhibition i of the World's Fair. There was one cuusc that ope rated to destroy these colonies, and prevented the development of their greatness. It was the wnntof a political union to hold them tog wt her? that bond of strength which made the American colonies the United Ktates, and the United Ntatcs the envy and the admiration of the world. TEcee migrations from Europe to Asia were seve ral centuries before the Christian era. The first of the great irruptions from Asia into Europe, which finally resulted in the overthrow of the Roman em pire, eommcnced in the beginning of the second l century. After the Huns were vanquished by tho Chinese and a tribe of the Tartars, their fato was chiefly varied by their character and situation. AN hilo the poorest and most pusillanimous wero con tent to remaiu in their native country, to renounce their peculiar name and origin, and to mingle with the victorious nation, and others, who aspired somewhat higher, retired south, under the protec tion of the Emperor of China, which thoy repaid by ! guarding the frontier, the most worliko and powerful tribes of the Huns maintained, in their adverse fortune, the undaunted spirit of thoir antes tors. The Western world was open to their vaJor, and they resolved, under the conduct of their here ditary chieftains, to discover and subdue some re mote country, which was inaceossiblo to the conquering tribe of Tartars and the Chinese. One division settled in the fruitful plains on the eastern side of the Caspian, and their man ners. and even their features, became gra dually softened by the climate, the fertility of the soil, and perhaps some faint traces that wore left of the ancient civilization of Grecce. Tho other division gradully advanced towards the northwest, and the hardships of a colder climate, and tho inter- j course with savage tribes, exasperated and developod j all their native fierceness. They settled on the banks ' of the Volga, proceeding north in the summer, and J south in the winter. But the same forcc which had driven them from their native seats, still continued to impel their march towards the frontiers of Europe; and having conquered the fierce tribes of tho (5uth?, between the Baltic and the Euxine, finally subdued the Romans, tho vaunted lords of tho world. The migrations of the Goths and Vandals completed what was begun by the Huns, and tho Roman empire, already sunk insthe lap of luxury, fell before the overwhelming hordes of barbarians. Tho Huns subsequently settled in Himgury, but the prevailing element in that country at present, w tho Magyar population, who are of Turkish oiigin. These migrations wero invading armies. The hosts which throng to the United Stale-? from Europe, come in peace? they are active and intelli gent, and in uny ot them bring money and property *itli them. All of them increaeo tho value of property in their adopted home, arid contribute to the grentnes'of the country. They have increased this city, within a few yiars, to an extent unappre ciated in ancient or modern history. They people > ur savannahs and prairies, clear our forests, culti vate tlic teeming soil, build our railroads and eitics, and introduce the mechanical arts in which Euro j cans cxcel, and in a few 3 oars Europe is repaid by improvements on what she gave. Emigration not only increases the population but improves the raeo on this continent, for it is always the most vigorous, healthy, and energetic who emigrate; and this, with the. crossing of breeds, is one great cause of the go-a-liead character of the American people. Vi ith a homogeneous race *0 rapidly increasing? the "highest stjle of man," fu=ed out of many ele ments into one, like the celebrated Corinthian br.k.j ?with a homogeneous language and homogeneous institutions so free, and with a virgin soil to fertile ar.d so vast, what 16 this republic to become in a few short years'? Neither eye hath iecD, nor ear hoard, nor has it entered into the heart of man to conceive the mighty destiny that awaits the United States before the present generation shall have passed away. Thp. Crystal Pa lack is R?:?krvoir Sqvabe.? Wc give, elsewhere, in our column', a port of bul letin or programme, indicative of the first move ments in preparation for tlie Crystal Palace, which has been authorized by the Corporation and char tered by the legislature, ia favor of certain parties and persons in this city. It will be percehcd, from this statement, that the idea originated among wme of the exhibitors of the Crystal Palace in Ilyde Park, who waited a market, probably, for most of their goods, merohan dize, and works of art in thin country. If the pro ject be supported by the capitalists of Wall stroat, and all tbc hotel* ? equal to an amount of two or three hundred tliousaud dollare ? it tuay have some success out At Reservoir i^'juare, even In the faoc of the opposition whivh may be brought against it by the old American Institute. Its prospccts, how ever, are not very brilliant, link's they have plenty of cash. The Institute of this city, and similar In stitutes iu other citics, under their old organisation, will make a more tlian Ufual effort to get up a guerilla opposition to this crystal project. The rivalry #ni->ng the whole butch may, however, hare some good effects upon American art and wanufao turcs. We wait far farther developments on both li'l> s, and t-hail take an activo but impsi tial iatoreet j iu the fight. T*OV AVi) Cotton. ?

' blot only tbeee persona engaged in tho lii|u?r busnesa in all the towns, but those oiti tens who were accustomed to the use ef variens drinks, and were suddenly deprived of thein by a pmc tical bluo law, have loft tho State and gone to tho "land of gold," or other States in the Union, whero tlicy can enjoy that personal freedom of action guar antied to every man by the constitution of tho United HUitcs, and where no absurd and tyrannical law pro scribes what a man shall en o. drink, or how ho s ? ill entertain bis gu? Bt- in his own house. 1 1, is is the re.il cause of tho tranquillity in Maine ? it is the result of the flight of the inhabitant* f m the i cr.-eoutious of tyranny and fanaticism. Americans tne too nuch accustomed to practical liberty, and appreciato it too highly, to be controlled and tied dow n, like slaves or children, by sumptuary l'iws : and, if the spirit of fanaticism should prc ; va'l for a timo in any particular State, tho e t< < I will be to cause a migration of free and [independent n inds to other States, till tho ' in ii'l id condition of the public mind works itd own ! cure, or ibe disease dies out, and the law becomes an ; o!>ro!ete, dead letter, as is the case with every bluo j law ever yet enacted in the world. | Blue laws must always eventually fail, because tliry assume a degree of human perflation that does not exist in the world, and they are not based on human nature. Experience haa proved that they cannot be praotically carried out. The failure of re publicanism, established by Cromwell, in England, was entirely caused by the repulsive, straight laced, stiff necked laws introduced by the Puritans, against which human nature revolted ; and a reaction was the result, which led to the restoration of monarchy, and those pastimes, recreations, amusements, dross, eating, and drinking that had prevailed in " morrie old England" from time immemorial. Tie fai.atics assume that men and women can be mxde angels by an aet of the Legislature ; but the truth comes out by and bye that thoy are still human, and have the same passions, inclinations and propmeitics that thoy ever had, and that their fathers and mothers had before them, from the days of yore. Thus fanaticism runs in eyeles, and eur progress men a re compelled at last, after playing many fantastic tricks, to come bnck to the very point from which they started. '1 jik Japan Expedition.? One of our Washington correspondents, in a late despatch, intimates that the Japan expedition is not intended for the avowed occupation ot the Japanese islands, but that its ob jects are more of the scientific ordor than the aggres sive. Tlv> Emperor of Japan has never had a coast survey taken i f hi- beautiful cluster of inlands; or at least, he ha" never had the politeness to furnish the cations of" outside barbarians" with a copy of the maps and charts of any such survey. Conse quently, the "outside barbarians" having boen kept at a rcspcctful distance from his sacred territories, know nothing of tho shoals, rocks, reefs, capes, erecks, inlets and outlets by which they are sur rounded. And thus it happens, sometimes, that an American wLaler, driven off its course, or a iner chantman running in for the coast of Chiun, is sliip wrecked frnong th ? islands of his Japanese Majesty. Mr. Fillmore nn I Mr. Webster have, therefore, como to tho icscuc ; ; nd their naval expedition is for the piirfosc of volunteering, tor the benefit of tho Emperor and the rest of mankind, a bydrographical survey of tho Japanese i lands. Mark that ? a hy drographical survey. To do this upon the plan of our own coast survey, would require a vast amount of trigonometrical observations on land, and a hun dred guns, at least, to complete it ; but it i- to be purely bydrographical, by water. We presume that even this examination will be limited to a few im portant points, beginning with tho bay and harbor of Jeddo ? tho imperial metropolis; and that if it i- necessary firr-l to bombard the city, we suppose it will he bombarded. Those unsatisCed outrages upon American seamen are also to bo looked after ; and if, in a quiet way, a commercial treaty can bo made with the great Emperor, it will be ilono. It is to bo distinctly understood, in any event , that Commodore Perry doe" not go out upon tuiv filibustering expedition, lie may, pcrhapa, find it necessary to knock the royal palace of Jeddo about the cars of the Einperor, in order to pave the way for commercial negotiations, and to burn up a few towns around the coatt, in the prosecution of the bydrographical survey; but that is all. Neither tho conversion of the heathen by heavy artillery, nor the "re-annexation" of Japan to tho United States is intended by the enterprise. Nothing is to be dune to provoke tho intervention of the Dutch. New Hotels is tnc C'itv. ? New hotels? ?time of thciu on a most extensive and magnificent scale ? arc springing up in \iirions localities in this city, to meet the increasing pressure of etrongen from all parts of the Union ? in fuct, from all parts of tho world. In trade and commerce, science, literature and the arts, and nlco in political opinion, New York is to the United Stales what Paris is to France, and London to (Ircnt Britain. It is "till more. It i? the centre of (ho wholo civilized world; and thejirogrcs of events io hotli hemispheres is daily making this great fact more evident to all men.

Joseph Mct'leskey and John Cook, ?lii' have no rcik r' lihly volunteered tholr service* and everted thcmi-clvos no kindly in eur behalf. He feel that we owe to these gentlemen n deep and lasting obligation, which can never bo fully remunerated, landing as we dil in a strange city, far from our homes, after suffering hard* ?Mm ? !? i? HI solium tail to thi lot of human hein;;?, it wa a *itn emotions of sincere gratefulness to au overruling Pro vidence that we found lirin and steadfast friends in the per* sons of Messrs. M< ( loskey an. I Cook. On tlx' iustant these gentlemen wereinformod of onr destitute condition, and that m< tt ot us wirlu d to eel Utlt homes in thu South, know ing how difficult it would be to get employment while many citiTeus arc unable to obtain it. they uobly eame for ward and tendered tin ir kind and valuable services to ai<l us in gutting to our homes, and maintain ns whiio in the city. Such conduct as there gentlemen have exhibited can nevec be forgotten l>y the liberated captive*, surviving the unfor tunate enterprise that left New Orleans on the third of Au gust, ihfil.for the purpose of assisting tbe Creole population of Cuba to experience the blessings of liberiy, s?? well appre ciated in ourown beloved Country. Resolved, That the Cuban flag, now in t ho possession of the President, be presented to Mr. MeClosksy as a token ot the remembrance and high esteem in which ho will ever be held by the members composing this meeting, Resolved, That Mr. John Cook deserves, and lion, on? warmest praise and heartfelt gratitude for the disinterested exertions ne has made in our behalf, in connection with Mr* MeC'loakey.

T~ 1 HE CALIFORNIA EXCITEMENT? PALMER It CO.'S proposition for settlement. ? Security given to passen gers amicably disposed.? To-day, the proportion Bade bf rainier A Co. last week, has been consummated, with a largo number of passengers, who enter intuit aa the bosfc that can be done under the cireamstancoa ; that ia, aa as signment on the part of l'almer & Co., of the charter par ties of the steamships City of New Vork and William Pens, including all th? furniture and fixtnrea en tho steamship City of New Vork, belonging to l'aliuer St Co., and all the monies on both steamers aocruing from their rctnrn passage from the Isthmus to this port. Tkia assignment ia made aa security for the repayment of the money taken frem tbe passengers, which money. Palmer & Co. affirm th?y caa re fund en the arrival of their steamers. It is dno then to aajr that large numbers of passengers have been sent through by them from Panama to San Francisco, and the first cause of detection at Panama was tho rise in tbe price ef tickets om the Pacific tide, occasioned by the vast numbers there de tained, waiting passage, which caused Palmer A C?. to fill back upon tke reaerve arrangement not noil at tho betteoi of tliair through tieket, vis :? " If satisfactory arraaec menta cannot be made by the first independent steamship, passage money te be refnndod at the Istltmns," which money, in large amounts, have been refunded by Palmer A <_'o? showira the absence of all designs of the extensive frauds chargeJupen them. Futhermore, Palmer Co. have made aat exhibit cf their financial mattera to Mr. Cooper, (firm of Scales A Cooptr. 30 Chamber* atreet), whe, as Attorney, represents the interests of a large number of passengers, which exhibit can be eoen by all interested, at Mr. Cooper's office. Aa the public hare heard but cue side of this ma'. tor, ard as one * rong step excites universal suspicion and makoa facts out of fancies, it is deemed jnst to make this statement. It is proper further to add. that Palmer A Co. have trana ported but a imall share of the vast crowd of passenger*, who, at the Isthmns, are waiting to be carried forward, ia consequence of the inadequacy of conveyance en the Pacli* side. 11.
