To On F Pino Pr??lde?t Uoli?<l S'atss. After I bad made myself master of the con tent* of the London letter to Gen. Pierce, I mad* a correct copy of It. By the time I had finished doing m the boor drew nigh when I wm to meet the General at Jackson Island. At half-past three tbe horse was at my hetel door, for Jemmy Maher had kindly spoken to an 'Irish friend of his, the pro prietor of a livery stable, and the beast was sent. I mounted, cantered across the Canal bridge, and thence took my way to the Long bridge. When I reached the Washington end of It I inquired of a man standing there whether he bad seen a gentle man riding a small black horse, and seated on a Mexican saddle, cross over. He replied " Yea,"?nd 1 hurried on. True to time, I found the General on the Island, walking his hone on the road. As I rode up to blm he exclaimed: "Well, Sam, this is really delightful; I feel like a free man. Egad, wouldn't it be a good joke if we were to keep on riding incog., and let those miserable drrils we should leave behind ns Jog on their own gait, while we kept on our way, to sime Southern plantation? " I am agreed, if you are," said I. " What the hell would peeple say if I was to cat and ran, eh?" f , T. " A good many would be very glaa or It. It would be a novelty . It would give the paperwom? thing to talk about" . ? "Do you know, Bam, that I have sometimes half made up my mind to do it when I have got com mand. If poor King had have lived I think I should have done it before this. Then he would have been President, and would have got along better than I do, for he understood the ropes. Come, let ua take a long ride as far as Alexandria ? That will give us plenty of time to talk over things. Who would be President If I was to cut my luoky, or tfcroat 7 Ac cording to tbe constitution Atcheaon of course 7 "No. The constitution stakes no provision for it A law Is passed which makes the President of the Sen ate acting President of the United States In ease of the death of both President and Vice President "Why is the Vice President of the United States President of the Berate, Sam?" "It is a pieee of foolishness that he Is so. His office as Vice President of the United States has no sort of connection whatever with the preel lency of the Se nate. In fast, every legislative Dodv is not complete unless it elects its own officers; hut 1 11 tell you how it happened. When them chaps made the constitution, they talked It over among themselves. One said, 'Now, we have made the offices of President and Vice President ; now, the Vice President wont have a tbinsr to do unless the head chap dies out. Another Yankee fellow says 'Yes, and the Vice President will be receiving money and doing nothing? that won't do.' Then some knowing old duck, like Ben Franklin says? ."Well, we will make aim President of the Senate; that will give him a little to do. It will give dignity to that body, and Instead of sucking his fingers at home the vice President can come to Washington every year and foss in the Senate. "Well, Sam, that Is pretty clear. I have no doubt yon are correct. I always thought the Vice President occupied a curious position; for there Is no earthly connection between the duties of a Vice-President and presiding officer of the th&n there li bo* tween bam and eggs or park and molasses. Give me that letter 1 gave you tbis morning " I handed the President the letter, and he placed it In his pocket, and asked, "Well, Sam, what do yon think of it? That is one of Mercy's queer doings. That aint all? he has got me Into another muss about the uniform.' ' "How so, Mr. President?*' . "Call me plain Frank." "Very well, Frank?what Is the trouble about tbe ^Sulwohmny^ason, as the French papers call him, has been disobeying Maroy's orders, and ap peared at the French court In monkey costume? Sky bine with gold edging. Mr. Sandford, who re fused to dress other than in plain black, has sent me his resign ition. What can I do, fa??" "Remove old potgutty Mason. He Is a soft cake bhv way. Heaven only Knows how you came to send him U Franoe any way." .. "I did not. Never saw him to speak to him twie* n my life. That appointment was one of Maroy s d d concoction! One thing I won't do, by G? ? I won't aocept Sandfoid 's resignation. It will play hell with some of my private financial arrangements n Boston." " Who Is Sandford T" . , . " Why, be la a forty-second cousin of mine? one of the Connecticut Pierces. His father, Nehemlah Sand ford, was a worthy tlnpan manufacturer at Derby, Con ?ecticst. He married a Sheltoa-a sister ofHenry and Philo Shelton. Hen Shelton went to Trinidad, Cnba, made some money, and left it to my Paris Secretary, who Is named after him. and Philo lives in Bwton, and blm and me an thick. I wen't consent to ruin him because he obeyed *14 Marcy's order. Another thing, he is a friend of Burke's." "Oh, you have a sneaking klndn*ssfsr Burke yet? " Well, I have; and I don't careSwho objects to it He made me President, and he has been ?heeMtnlly lied aboet in son* respects; bat we differed on the subject ef abolition or free soil. It was against his advise that I took part with the Van Boreas when I came back from Mexico." . " Why den't you get together again ? You ought to make the first advances. Yon are side by side now? In fact, you area little ahead of him? and go Southern doctrines two to his one. Tell me all about you and Barke, Frank. Of course it's betweea yon and me." "Sam. you know them ButterfielAs and Georges around Concord?" ? "Yes, and I think they an small pups any way." "They have caused all the mischief between me aud Burke, and B is too quick. They say that they can do iiv thing with me, and B. believed it. It 11 not bo. BUI Butterfield edits the New Hampshire Patriot, and Is a d ? -4 good aatured, silly f sol that It does very well to take a tod with; but he 1s of no account except in bis own estimation, and Burke has made capital for him by noticing him. They have abated Burke like blackguards. But I give you my aolemnword, Sam, I never authorized or counta nanced It But Rurke won't believe It" "How long have yoa been acquainted with Burke?" _ . "Over twenty yean. We wen In Congress to 8 ether? when I was Senator and he was a member ef be House. Even then be used to render me very Im portant services? correct and fix np my speeches, and pod me in the papers. Damn It, he arranged my appointment as Brigadier -General with Polk, and seat me the documents. Why, Sam, when 1 was off in Mexico Burke used to defend me ajralast slanders that appeared in this same Union, that I detested the sight of it ever slnoe, and now they claim it as my organ." "Yon know I first started your nam* a* President, in Green Valley?" . "Well, Burke took it np from that, and he maaag*d the whole thing. He was Commissioner of Patents, had control of the Un ton, and whatever he said was done. He dnw up the whole pngramme. Bam. Ohl I give the devil his dn* always. Aat's my rell gion." "Did Burke ask anything from you? "Never, upon my soul, nam; li he had I would have given it to him, for he was a friend when I aeedtd friends." "Well, Frank, you an the President, and yea ssem to Uke good can of every sucker that *om*e about yoa. Hew Is It that you can leave an old and tried friend in the lnrch, and let him be a mark for ?lander, when yen can save him ? It Is all wrong; and tbonflh yon an a President, yoa an not a man if yoa don't sileno* Burke's enemies, and place him In his trus position before your mntaal friends and enemies in our beloved New Hampshln.'' "Ill do It, Sam. I'll be d-d If I don't; that to, If ? "Btop, Frank; you will never do It. Tbe moment that miserable preposition 'IT somes into play a man's good puroeses are silenced. But here we are, jnst rearing Alexandria. Dd you knew anybody hen ?" "Yes? office chape. Btsv. 1 hava an old friend here cf tbe name of Lewis McKenxle. Let's go and call on him." We went down to Mr. MrKenete's foffise, but the Crter told us that Mr. McKemie was in the Legls ture, and absent in Richmond so we remounted our horses and started on oar return to Washington. We had hardly sot Into th? outskirts of Alexandria whea the President again returned to the conver sation about Mr. Burke. ? H* managed that who!* business oqnal to a Tal leyrand," said the President " Why did yon not send him Minister W Franoe ImIsM of Mason ? You made Gee up Dobbin Secre tary and he did not do one half that Bnrke did." " Indeed he did not I h?ve a hearty laugh when I think how completely the thing was arranged. I never see that B. B. French but what I hold my ?id**." "Hew so?" . " Why, jnst before the nominatioa Freneh wrote me a long prosy letter, askiag me if I would serve. I told him no, certainly not I wanted him ami all my Irienda to act with a comprehensive regard to } the whole eoontry, with ft single purpose to the main object? the nonstable triumph of ear oause. 1 wrote Preach that I w*a perfectly astounded ftt receiving his letter, snd being informed ttut my same bad beea mentioned in eonMMlon wtta the Presidency. The cream of ;he joke %-eathat Fieacn ran ftll about Washington ui Its hotel*, aho trine my letter to the fiats, and amen c the net he showed the letter to Burke, who wrote toe draft of it ftod seat ?e six months before, when ft lot of us had Arranged how my nominfttlon was te be managed. Gaol, was it not ?" " But ftbout you neglecting to answer the letter te the men In Virginia who propounded qnestiens te all the Preoidential candidates? Yet did net get caught in that trap ?" '? Caught in thftt trap ! Why, that was a part of the programme, a letter was never sent to me. It was so arranged with thf man himself by my friends." "Upon my soul you ought to hare made Barke year Prime Minister after you became President Did jou see him personally before he went to Balti more?'' "Why, I went te Newport, to his house, and stayed ft week, only a few days before Burke vent on to Baltimore, aad then I macs all the dual arrange ments. Burke was my main dependance? in facW Burke did everything. He was the big man the^i and nude me; but ne has behaved very ahabhUy since." " Excuse me, Frank, for my freedom, but did the , suggestion never insinuate itself into your mind that you nad behftved very meanly and very shabbily te Mr. Burke?" "Ah! Sam, when yon get to be President you will have to crash out all sach insinuations. But [ like Burke, notwithstanding all that be has done. But don't let's talk any more about it now. How do you Ukiyoor boarding house?" "Oh, very well. By the way, I have got a good room now, with a fire in it, and you oan call aadf see me. '? Indeed ! I like that. Why, I can ran in any time, and have ft few words or jrrite a private letter, eh? I have got no good plaee to write private mat ters now." "What doee Maher charge you?" "Only seven dollars a week." "Well, that is reaeoaable; I will come and see you to-morrow night" We talked on a vftrleiy of matters, and rode on uatil we reached Washington, when we separated. Thb Mam Wot Nommatbd Faxnx Franca.

The medical and surgical profession flgire largely < in the recent issues of the patent office, nearlv one 1 half of the appara>M or Lnetrmsate patented lately, relating to them, namely:? Saliva pumps, diaphiam , pumps, pill maoblnes, tonsil Instruments, amputate in a apparatus, and traacee. . | Dr. Matthew Wendell has been re-elected by the , Common Council of Brooklyn, N. Y., health phrsl- i clan of that city. The doctor has proved himself a useful officer, and oar neighboring city has done It* self a favor in keeping him In office. An exchange paper advises one of ita correapon denta who ia afflicted wtfi that loathaoma disease the leprosy, to apply friction, warm baths, sulphu baths, ana afterwards slightly stimulating oiataients, such as pitch ointment or weak citrine ointment, with light and moderate diet and abstinence from wiie aiid stiuiulanta. ? The United Btatea Burgeon-General has made a i report to Congress, from which it appears that the adolteiatlon of drags and meticlnes is carried on more extensively since the passage of the aet of Csp grass to suppress the importation of such arti cle*, than before; so that it Is now alleged to be difflsuit to procure medicine* which are not either mixed with some foreign substances or frqm which some portion of the active principle has not been abstracted by chemical process. There are eleven physicians in the two houses of the Ohio Legislature. Dr. James E uaile, surgeon in the East India Com pany's service, has fjrw&rded from Scetiand a me morial to Congress, in wnloh he assert a priority to all Americans in performing surgical operatiooa without pain to the sutyeots, whom he rendered senselese by mesmeric influences as early as 1845. He says hirooject is to release Congress from the shame of sanctioning by its high authority another of the lies ot history. A memorial from Dr. William Turner to the New York Legislature, has been presented, praying that the measure u?w before them extending the privi leges of dixsectlog the bones of the dead, to the medical faculty , may not become a law. He opposes dissection, and quotes large lv from the writings of Dr. Dickson, tt.e distingulslu d chruno-thermalLst, of Lol&iH, In snpport of hiH position. There were living in the village of Dighton, Mass., on the fij*tdaT of January, 1853, no loss than forty persons between the ages of seventy Ave and niuty aix years, all withiu a circle of one mile radius. Their ages, added tsgctner, amount to thirty-five kindred years. .... Virginia furaithes three hundred medical studsnts annually, and the whole South probably furnishes frsm 1,600 to 2,500 Mrs. Maiy A. w. Johnson, a somewhat noted medi cal individual . has been delivering a course of lec tures on pb)kloliyy in Brooklyn, N. Y. Among the reforms in Tut Key induced bv Eura* pean influence, was that of quarantine. Tnis oo curre J m 1839. In 18S8 the plague had been worse in its r?v*ge- than for thirty jeers previously and it was estimated that during the year 50 000 people died from it in Constantinople; and notwithstanding the quarantine worked badly at first, yet for fourteen years tht re bad been hardly a case of the plague, and it has now ceased to be an epidemlo. The tables of mortality show that the average length ot time persons who have attained to thirty years of age will bve, is 34 years and 124 days; a? cording to the experience of seventeen life insuranca offices 34 years and 156 days; acc- rding to the Lon don Equitable Lite Insurance Company, 31 yean aid 120 days. la, Voltaire's definition of a physician is: "An unfor tunate gentleman, expected etery day to perform a miracle? namely, to reconcile health with intempe rance." A better definition it would be impojaible to give. The Practical Uentut sajs that the great and all powerful destroyer of the human teeth is acid, ve getable or mineral, and it maters not whether that * acid be formed in the mouth by the decomposition of particles of food left between anl around the teeth, or whether it is applied directly to the organs them selves, the result is the sa ne; toe enamel Is dissolved, corroded, and the tooth destroyed. Dr. F. H. Kelly has assumed the editorial chair of the Worcester (Maaa ) Journal ff Mtdicmt. Dr John K. Wells, of Bellows Falls, Vt , died sud denly at that place, aged seventy years A new bomeopathio periodical has been started in Chicago, 111., and another in bt. Loois, Mo. In some of the Eastern countries, oue of the mother's target cares is to promote the growth of her children's eyelashes, by tipping and removing the fine gossamer- like points with a pair of sclssira, when they are asleep. By repeating this every month or fix weeks, thej become,, in time, long, close, finely carved, and of a silky gloss. The practice never fails, and is very useful, when, owing to in flammation of the eyes, the lashes have been thin ned or stinted. ' The following are the offloeTS of the Boylstoo Me dical Bcciety of Boston? one of the most usefal medi cal associations in the country? for the ensuing year: President, Calvin Ellis; Vice President, Samuel A. Green; Secretary, Henry K.Oliver, Jr. The scarlet lever is unite prevalent in the more thickly populated parts or Windham county, Ky. In some instances, whole families have been swept away by it. The smallpox Is prevailing in Charleston, 8. C., also Mornst own, N. J., and in New York city. The whole number of deitha In Stamford, Conn., embrating a population of 4,500, daring the laat year, was 45. or ons in a hundred. Toe re died in January, 1; February, 2; March, 3; April, 5: May, 3; Jute, 6; July, 2; August, 3; September, 10; Oc tober, 7; November, 4; December, 3. The deaths by consumption were 13; typhus fever, 7; marasmus, 4; other diseases, 1, 2 and J. .Dr. Dnikee, of Boitun, has had awarded to him a bronze medal for specimens of microsoopic anatomy and natural history prepared by htm and exhibited at the Crystal Palace, New York. The number of preparations is 170, and are of great beauty and per fection. During the year 1865 the number of Interments in Baltimore was 6,160, or 1 to about 39 of the popula tion. Tbere were H93 deaths by phthisis; 180 by old sge; 250 by cholera infantum; 654 by infantile diseases. A medical correspondent of Nelson's American Lancet stales that he has applied chloreform suo aessfnLy in cases of nmralgia, tlodolereaux, teta nus, Ac. In a case of tetanus he applied lint satu rated with chloroform alosg the whole spine, and covered it with India-rubber cloth, which was attend ed with the best results. In cases of toothache, he had found a remedy in filling the eavlty with ootton saturated with chloroform, and renewing it until the sensibility of tke nerve was touched. Experiment proves that the beard, if shaved, griws from four to five times faster than if nnahorn; and reckoning the stimulus given the beard bv the first nze of the razor la adoleaence to be doable, and the coriseqnent difference in sias and weight of the fibre, and the result 4s 'bat we raise thirty times the natu ral quantity of beard. The New Orleans Medical an d Surgical Journal states tbst a young female, whose great toe was aboat to be amputated by one of the visiting sar geons of the Charity Hospital in that city, suddenly expired while under the influence of chloroform. It waa some time before she oould be brought under the effects of the aaccsthetlr, she finally, however, be came completely inseosSbie. and before the operation was concluded she sank and rapidly expired, in spite of the most strenuous and judicious eff ,rta ef several medical men preaent. A post mortem was made by tbe professor of phyaiology in the Uaiveralty of Louisiana, and all the organs found perfectly healthy. Fever, bowel and chest complaint are very preva lent at Hong Kong. Tbe I'aria correspondent of the Charleston Mtdi cal Journal and JZtmsie writes that he saw Mr. tiuersent among other surgical operations performed at tbe hospital for sick cbi'dren, execute one for opening tbe trachea in a child with croup. This is done frequently, but on this occasion it was done ao cording to Chassaianac'a method, and succeeded ad mirably. It consisted in a simple Incision, keeping the tips of the wound open with his forceps until the filte membrane and blond ceased to fill tbe orifloe, and finally inserting the double cauua and kesplac the external air warm by means of flannel wrapped around the neck. Tbe habit of wearing glasses for shortsightedness is vet y injurious to tbe sight. When convex spec tacles are real y necessary, the glaesee shoal 1 be ar ranged t?r each eve in particular, as It is rara for ana eje to bave the same power of vision with tbe other. Bp?< tarlss of green glass ought never te be use*. One ef the most remarkable cases in the annals of medicine occurred recently in Boston. A man, whes driving his team, accidentally struck his eye with tbe tnd of his w hi slash, causing the bleod to flow freely The naxt day tbe rye began to be very pain ful , and a surgeon waa called, who applied leechea. Tbs patient im prudently wsat oat Into the cold air, and tbe pain increwd.mpldlyifhe wa? sonn seised with lock jaw, and after mack suffering he d?ed. I)r Merrill wyman, of Csmbridge, Maaa, has been appointed adjunct Hswv Professor of tbe theory and l'rs' tl<e ef Medicine In Harvard College. Dr. J M. Ward has been appointed Professor of Mid wifery and Diseases of Women and Chlldrea In the Home oiMihic Medical College of Pennsylvania. Dr. W. Is well known for his prufeesteaal abilities, and will make an efficient offloer. Sir Aftley Cooper says that "tke sctenee of medl sine is f< untied on ooo|ortnre, and improved by mar eer:" and I)r. Gregory says Uat medloal doctriaes ere little better than stark-staring ataurdltiee. A huniorona writer says tbst some doe tors are un popu ar because they 4o not choose to make cham- 1 lata' shej* of their patients' stomachs. A moviment is in progress la Log land toward! tht establishment of a British Institute of Homeopathy, to be conducted In each a manner at to |1re increased vitality to that school of medicine in that country and elsewLere. Effgrts are aiae twiair made to fouad a tract society, far the wider dissemination of hosaoe patbic principles. The Bultan ef Turkey had founded an hospital similar to tLat of Chelsea and the liTalldes. The Board of Health of Vienna have advised the municipal authorities of that city to lioense the aale of herse fleah in the bntebm' atalla, to meet the scarcity of meat and provisions. Dr. Moeche, a druggist ia Hartford, Conn., fell from tbe window in the aeeond story of his house, on the sidewalk, and was se injured as to die almost imme diately. The number of deaths in the city of Boston, ia 1P52, was 3,731; ia 1863, 4,284, showing an laerease Of 641 Br. W. Chaasfag, of Boaloa, ia an artlde on hy drophobia, communicated te the Mtdual and Carrf col J?%inuU, expresses hie belief that it ia a iisease by no means pertaining exclusively to warn or het weather, bat la earned ay a morbid poieoa secreted by certain glanda from constitutional merbld action, aad which maw be ineerted into the haman penea by the teeth at aay seasea. Dog keeping, he says, ought to be rigidly regulated hy law. The maaiion house of fee original Job Sweet-n name* immortalised by its connection with so maay casea ef successful bone-setting, ia former times ? ?till to ba seen near the Tillage of Waktfisid, R I., an abject ef almost as much cariosity and vaae ration with some aa that of Shakeepeare or Sir Walter Boott. Tbe nerve from one tooth oonnecte arith the nerve to every tooth in either jaw. Thia ia the reason the pain ia so often felt on tbe opposite side from where the cause ax Ma. Pain ia often felt in the upper Jaw When the cause exists in the lower. The derangement of the be art's action, ooc&atoned by tbe asa of green tea and strong ooffee, la well known. A case is mentioned of a gentleman who conld, at any time, by taklnga cap of ooffee, produce palpitation aad bleeding from tne nose. Bat the meat nozlona luxury to the dyspeptic or nervoua ia tobacco, the essential oil poisoning oy paralyzing tbe heart. A Mexican miuiater, some years hi nee, sum* moned Dr. A. H. Stevens, of New York, to Washing ton, fer supposed organic di tease of the heart? a core was performed oy emptying his excellency's snuffbox. Tbe health of Ban FrancUoo may be Judged by the fact, that atcordlng to the latest aavicea tae number of interments fer the previous fortnlafe was only 26, out of a population or 50,900. This lot remarkably tma)l number, and speaks well for the salubrity of the climate and the health of the place. Dr. E. L. Du Barry, late fleet surgeon of the United Btates East India aqaadron, died on board the whip Riebard Allaop within one day's sail of Anjier, July 12, after a long illnsas. The hnepitals at Demarara are now free from any cate of fever, and the health of the plaoeia said to be excellent Drs. C. C. Hannlngton and Geo. M. Bourne came passengers in the Northern Light, from California. Microscopical examinations Lave been made of the matter deposited on the teeth and gums of many in dividuals, selected from all classes of society, in every variety of bodily condition, aad in nearly every case animal and vegetable parasites in great numbers were discovered. The only persons whose months were (bund to be completely tree from them, cleansed their teeth four times daily, using soap once. Pure white soap is the best article for cleansing the teeth According to the last census, the following are the ratios of mortality in the different Suites, disregard ing tbe auei at death ? New England States, 1 to 64 ; Middle States, with Ohio, 1 to 72 ; Central Btates, 1 to 73; coat-t planting States, 1 to 73; North western States, 4>to fiO? United States, total, I to 73. Th'.a is substantially tbe ratio stated by Noah Web ster for latetior towns iu 1805. "The annual deaths," be observes, " amount only to one in seventy or se venty five of the population. " The physicians of Washington county, Ga., who struck tor higher fees lome weeks ago, nave struek their colors and retormd to their former prices, tieir patients having resolved to "die by the old rates." A distinguished scientific writer says that persons struck by lightning should not be givetf up for dead until at least three hours. During tae first two hjura they should be drenched freely with cold water, and if this fail to Droduce restoration, then add salt, aad continue tbe arcnchiag for another hour. The paper j state that Dr. Morton, of Boston, is now in Washington, endeavoring to secure the recogni tion by Congress of his claimstohais g tbe discoverer of etherisation in surgical operations It will be re membered that last year a bant of $100,000 was re B tod by the 8 swats oomnflttoe in favor of Dr. V., the thing fell through.

Some correspondents, who pride themselves upon exactitude in penetration- but who have the fault of pluming the ttselves always on and of only occasion ally giving proof of the possession of these quali ties?were struck at the time with the strangeness of this fact. They suspee'ed some mvstery with out divining It; and, seeking the explanation with the (mall means which tEey are In the hatft of employing in similar circumstances, they stop A short, proud of their suto?s at the first solution that was given of It One fine morning the astonished public learned that tne Caar ef all the Russia* had opened in the United States a general ofltoe ofapliat ment The newly lauded offioers had been cfltged, neither more nor less, with the mlwion ot raising in this free country a number of regiments to sustain the cause of tyranny. At this revelation the credu lous opened wide tbeir eyes: sensible peopled shrug ged their shoulders; then silence enveloped the im probability, as it shrouds all things which cannot stand the test of discussion. ?, How Is it possible, in fact, to discuss this idea, verg ing on extravagance, which represents the autocrat of sixty millions of men, of whom he oan dispose at bis will, as coming here to pick up a few dsobtful soldiers at a distance of two thousand leagues from bis empire, sod afterwards to transport them there, at sn immense expense and through a thousand diffi culties ana dungeis. These romancists, he wever, passed nearer the troth than they themselves suspected. If, instead of halt ing at the surface of the secret or which they p * f essed the thread they had penetrated to the bottom of it, they would have perhaps arrived at the discove ry which now transpires, namely, that an enlistment, not of soldiers, but of sailors, is now carried on in New York and some other ports of the Union, and that the Russian agents are silently but actively eecn pyiug themselves, not* with the formation of regi ments, but with the arming of corsairs! The assertion may seem a little bold ; it is, at all events, less strange than that to which we previously alluded. But we have reason to believe it weu founded. Matters have been conducted up to the present mo ment with a discietion which smacks ef European diplomacy, and to which the open conspiracies which we witness from time to time have net accustomed us. But the peril is for that very reason only greater and more real. A small number of sgents, selected with extreme skill and care, were first enrolled , and then launched amongst the crowds of maritime adventurers and otbeis, who bave swarmed for some years pastes the soil of the Ameritan Union. Thr ugh their medlnn ast-urance bus tieen obtained of tne manner in which (the contingency arising) categorical propositions will be entertained by certain individuals to under take a cruise against English aud French ships. Ne gotiations more or less explicit, acoordicg tt the character of the parties, have oeen already opened, li-fs bave been drawn out, and the cadrt of equip ment almost decided upon ; even the ships have oeen indicated that will be best adapted to the pnrpoae. In fac*., matters are lu such a state of forwardness, that at the report of the lint cannon fired in tha Black Sea, all that remains to be done Is to fill let ters of marque In order to ltunch Into the AtlanMg a flotilla of American corsairs, carrying the Russian flag at their mast head. On tbe put of Russia the expedient is as ingeni ous as It ha* been prudently conducted. Without a n arlte worthy of that name, without a seaport from whence she can disquiet the csmmeroe of ner mari time enemies, she has at once comprehended tha immense inferiority in which she is u aced by bar position. She has also comprehended that it would be useless to seek in Europe what she wants at home. In default, even, of the principles of international law, which are happily still remt-mbirod.the fear of Englwd and France would h*ve deterred every secondary Power to lend any point of its coasts to tne armament of Muscovite corsairs. Of all nations the United States alone offered a resource, of which the Czar is eudeavorlng to profit with an mfu loess that justifies tbe enlogv freyucatly passed upon his perspicacity and profound knowledge of foreign countries. It may seem strange at first sight that the man ia whom is personified in the highest degree the idea i f despotism, should have thought of coming to aeek aid of an y kind or form whatsoever in a country which is not only the born enemy of aU tyrannies, and the champion of all liberties, bat waiefc has proclaimed besides her unequivocal sympathy wMh the cave of Turkey. This ap mrent anomaliy only proves that the Cult, as we have just observed, ha* studied attentively the moral and social state of the American confederation. There is no doabt mat afar years ago the pvopo titlon to make of the port* u( the Union harbors of eat>e for the Muscovite ships, and to assail the com merce of friendly Powers, would only have Met with rtfnpal and contempt from all ohuMee of AacrieaB people? but, other times, other doctiine. At that epoch the elastic interpretations were not known which have slice subjected international law and the id eati of justice and in justice to the pleasnre of the first audacious comer. At that epoch the United EUtes did aot comprise within its population that orowd of adventurers, without other faith or law titan tbeir coveteueneas, that the Mexican war and the circQmntances that followed it have attracted aad multiplied, to the misfortune as well aa the shame of the Union. At that time Russian agents woold vainly perhaps have sought a man disposed to raiao hib hand against an allied flag; at preaent? melan* chuly abundance? there is no enterprise, no Matter how sill v or unworthy, that can b* conceived, It which tne American soil does not offer a contingent, A Ld how could it be otherwiseT From the piracy, which pillages the public treasury of Cardenai aad* seizes upon Lower California, to that which give# cliiue ia the open sea to vessels of friendly nags, there ia bnt a step. Far be it from us to reflect upon the entire nation the responsibility of individual acts, but oar pen caa only spare it the reproach. It is for her and bar alone to gnaid against the consequences that moat Inevitably ensue from the tacts that we signalize. If a deplorable relaxation of principles has aad* international law a word almost void of meaning foe certain men of the Unioa, Europe has aot aa jet ar rived at this degree of progress. A vessel armed al a privates In an Amerlcau port might show all tha colors of the w?rld, and exhibit the most authentic letters of marque that the Rassiaa admiralty could sign, bat she weald not be the less considered as a pure ai d simple pirate, and treated aa such.

These summary and direct reprisals wopid sail M of little ImjKjrtence, for they weald strike onlyUjg guilty.
