nmini inn the subject of the Piotncol to the Mexican
'ronty, w Inch, no doubt, exptcssr* tin* views and eonehi
si >ns .fill- presell l Admin sti Ittull. The M. \n*an gov •
«*runu-iit has sliown a dmpoHit.on to consider tin* Proto
C"1 as n key or guide to the cmirI ruction of the provis
ions of the Tr*nty el Peace. That such n view of it is
• i»t justified eitln r hy tire fart* of the case or hy thr*
law and us ge of nations, tu abundantly bhuwn bylina
cxpesiiioii.
I In* following is a sutntmrv of the resultH to which
the article reform I to, arrives, after a full investigation of
the w ho e matter
I That our Commissioners had no p uvers to negotiate
on any of the points to w hich the Protocol refers, except
as in the ill »de of payment of the twelve millions, on
which, however, they c mil conelu lo nothing until the
treaty of p ice,as amended mi our part, lud been ratified
by Mix on.
U. l tiai the explanations and assurances, given by our
( iiiumissioneiH toihc Mexican Government, are in direct
opposition to the sense of the treaty of peace, as clearly
and unequiv .cally shown by its terms.
8. That the treaty w as r itifi. d bv the Mexican Gov
ernment, w itliout any protest, exception, or ohjeciiou,
whatever, in its act of ratification, to any p iri id* the trea
ty
•I 'Pint the ratification was given hy the Vex
lean G ivernment wnli the foil and certain knowledge on
its part, « f the i xactness of llm first and second of the a
b we propositions.
5 1 hat tie* Mexican Government confirmed its as
sent to the treaty by immediately af erwiirca acceepiing
• he first installment of three millions of dollars, made pay
able to ll hy the l otted S'aies under the iwn jftli article,
and hy other acts in ueci rJuuce d’tth Oilier stipulations of
I ilie a line.
If those propositions he admitted—and no grounds ran
seen for impugning any one of them in any way—it
follows lice* Msnniy th it Mexici is hound to the ohser
vaocc of llie treaty in all respects, by ev *ry principle of
national law and national honor ; and the United
Mates aie equally jus ified in disregarding the inter
pretations t> which iheir Commissioners assented,
in signing the Protocol w ithout a . v powers or authority
to do to, and in express contravention of their instruc
tions.

EUROPE.
The dream of German unity is pretty well dis
sipated. Most assuredly, it is as tar as ever from
being realized. The Parliament at Frankfort i
has been dissolved by force. The Central Gov- i
eminent is suffering under financial difficulties—
the vaiious members of the Union paying their as- i
sscsed quotas with about as much punctuality as |
our States used to do under the old articles of ,
confederation. In fact,the Central Government i
is s irtually extinct. This lias been mainly brought 11
about by tile jealousies existing between Austria
and Prussia. AVe confess our disappointment, j,
Always distrustful of the capacity of the French 11
for the enjoyment of rational and constitutional i
freedom, we did entettain lively hopes, that the
Germans, from bi tter training, might be able to !
establish a form of government analagous to our
own,by which individual liberty might be secured ,
and the influence of a people, outnumbering the
population of France, be brought to bear upon ■
tlie cause of popular l ights in Europe. The first j
stages were marked by a prudence and modera- |
lion which piesaged the most favorable results.— |
lint the expeiiinent has failed. There is, of
course, some danger of reaction. Ifut we hope :
the petty German sovereigns will lake lessons from
the past, and not attempt to stifle all efforts at
reform. Their true policy would he to avert the
necessity of revolution, hv correcting adnrinistra- I
live abuses and meliorating the institutions ol
their respective countries.
In the meantime,a new.idea of union is broach
ed, which seems to he attended with iewer diffi
culties than that of including all Germany under
one Federal Government. It is now proposed
to form two distinct Imt fraternal Unions. The
Northern, of which Prussia would he the head,to
include Saxony. Hanover, Wurtemburg and the
smaller Protestant States. The Southern, with
Austria at its head,to be composed of'Itnvaria and
the < bitholic States. The division, as to territory
and people, wo. I not be very unequal,and each
would constitute n State, second, in population
anil strength,only to llu-siaand France among the
nations of Europe. There are several consider
ations which might be adduced in favor of this ar- j
rangement. The jealousy of Austria and Prus
sia was, as we have said, one of the main causes
which led to the failure of binding all the Slates
of Germany up in one grand nationality. The j
pioposed arrangement would obviate this difficul
ty. The Nmtliern States are already, pretty gen
erally, members of the Xvll I'crein, or customs
league, by which interior custom-houses are dis
pensed with,and each State receives a proportion
of the revenue levied upon commerce. This, of
itself, must exeit a powerful influence in favor of
the scheme. Then we must not overlook the de
marcation of religious sentiment. The Northern
Union would be composed ol States in which Pro
testants greatly predominate—whilst in the South
ern the Catholics are greatly the most numerous,
j Two Unions,thus formed would have no difficul
ty in entering into a friendly alliance, which
| would constitute them virtually, as to all other
' nations, hut one people. We hope the project
i may he carried into effect. We should enter
tain, lor various reasons, greater hopes at the suc
cess of popular government in the Northern U
nion. Hut even Austria, might, try example, be
led to enter upon the career of progress. At any
rale, il is better that play should he given to elec
tive affinity, and the numerous States of (Germa
ny he permitted, according to llw ii tastes and in
terests, to cluster around one or the oilier of the
two great powers, than that all should be em
braced in one incongruous fellowship.
And France—the so called Republic of France
—what shall we say of her? snail's are rapidly
approaching a crisis. The prolonged existence
ot the Republic docs not seem even to be a moot
ed question. Its speedy extinction is generally
conceded. People differ in opinion and wishes
as to the intermediate steps, hut all agree that
return to monarchy, in some shape, is inevitable.
I. ini>* N lpoleon does not affect to conceal his am
I bilious designs. Me aims to tread in the footsteps
of his “illustrious predecessor.” lie lias not Iris
Uncle’s genius —no glories of an Italian or Egyp
tian campaign encircle Iris brow—vet, circum
stances are far more favorable to bis seizing the
iCoverninent, than those, under which Napoleon
I was declared Consul lor life. There will never
I be another election ror President in France. It
required little political sagacity to foresee this,the
moment it was ascertained that universal suffrage,
with astounding unanimity, had elevated to (lie
Chief Magistracy a man whose only conceivable
claim rested in his name and relationship to Na
poleon. The vole ho received was, in fact, a
popular declaration for the principle of hereditary
right. It is confessedly difficult to foretell the
course events may lake in France—even within
the next six months. Hut the debates in the
French Assembly, upon the question of taking a
recess and investing the President, during that
period,with extraordinary powers,indicate that—
from no intrigue, but in obedience to the popular
will—early measures will be taken to alter the
clause of the constitution which limits the Presi
dent’s term of service to four years, with ineligi
bility lor a like space of time. Apprehensions are
lelt that intrigues will spring up forthw ith for the
succession,and that society will he kept in a state
of excitement incompatible with die public good,
from the commencement of the canvass to the
election. To avoid this, the first step will be to
declare Louis Napoleon President for life, or for
ten or fifteen years. This done, it would be nil
easy matter to set aside formally, as in practice
lias already been done, all the clauses of the con
stitution distiibuting power nnd limiting that ol
the Executive. The transition to Monarchy
would be easy and indeed inevitable. A great
man might earn little as to the title which lie
wore, so that he possessed the whole of the au
thority of the State—but Louis Napoleon longs
tor the title ol Kmperor, anil tile Umpire will be
tbe form ol Monarchy adopted. The Legitimists,
ol both wings, have, heretofore, viewed with
complacency the tendency of affairs to bring about
tbe overthrow of the Republic. They wish
Monarchy restored, even in the person of Louis
Napoleon.Underrating, perhaps,his strength,they
believe it would be an easy task, when the na
tion has decisively pronounced in favor of Mon
archy, to substitute a Bourbon for a Bonaparte
on the throne. The partisans of the Duke of Bor- j
dcanx, or Henry V—as they call him—and those
who maintain tile cause of the Orleans branch of
the Bourbon family, arc doing all they can to re
Ktoro Monarchy. They will succeed, but may be
disappointed in their own particular aim. The
benefit may not enure to either branch of the ex
iled family. In possession of power, Louis Na
poleon may retain it. He certainly has a better
right to it than either the Duke of ' Bordeaux, or!
the t omit de Paris. He is growing in popular
ity, and meets, wherever he goes, the most en
thusiastic reception, 11 is can ai r greeted with !
cries of “Vive l' Empereur"—cries which he doei
not affect even to repress. It may be asked,where
is the Republican party ? The moderate and en
lightened portion, few in number, is powerless
for good. The Red Republicans advocate prin
ciples of commun ism and other doctrines incompat
ible with the existence of society or government
and are justly odious to men of all parlies. Their
leaders are proscribed,or imprisoned,and they are
in a hopeless minority. The larger portion of the
people, «ho '•accepted” the Republic, are jnst
as ready now to accept Monarchy. The Le
gislative Assembly has just shown the extent of
its attachment to republican liberty and respect
lor constitutions, by passing a law, 400 to 100.
for the regulation of the press, far more severe
than any thing known, from the days of the resto
ration to the expulsion of Louis Philippe.
Unfit as she has proved for self-government_
traitorous to freedom as her course towards Koine
has shown her to be—the actual ally of Russia a
g.iinst hitman progress—we care not how soon her
fate be accomplished. We hope,whatever dynas
tic changes, she may undergo, she will not,'until
capable of appreciating the leal nature of civil lib
erty,injure the sacred cause by again attemptir \
the establishment of a Republic. She has ,fi^5e
made the experiment,and twice demonstrated*^
unworthiness of the form ol government, and thus
retarded the progress of freedom in Europe. That
Europe, in the middle of the 10th century, does
not every where recognize the doctrine of
popular sover eignty, is owing mainly to France.
Her failure was,not in re-conquering her liberties,
but in knowing how to enjoy them.

sympathy in England, in and out of Parliament,
is cordially expressed,and will greatly strengthen
hercause. It will be seen that, in our own
country, public meetings are held to give vent to
the popular feeling in behalf of this gallant peo
ple. Tile English Reviews and Magazines for
the last month — all singularly of one mimlonthis
subject—have shed much light upon the past con
dition of Hungary and the relations in which she
stood to Austria. The Edinburg's article is per
haps the ablest and most interesting. We give,
in to day's paper, a brief sketch of it, which wo
take from the Hoston Atlas. The perusal ol all
these articles has inspired us with additional hope
that the triumph of the Hungarians will he com

CAMELS FOR THE PRAIRIES.
The National Intelligencer, of Tuesday, con
tains a very interesting and instructive commu
nication from its well known correspondent, Win.
Darby (Tacitus.) on the subject of the introduc
tion ol the camel,on the boundless plains between
the Mississippi and the Pacific. It is in answer
to a note from Mr. I'. (J- Skinner, ofthe Patent
Oliice, asking his opinion upon the practicability
and expediency ofthe measure. He setsout by a
calculation of the distances between Washington
and certain points on the Pacific. From Wash
ington to the mouth of the Columbia, via St.Lou
is, air line, the distance is 2,533. From Wash
ington to San Francisco, also via St. Louis, air
line, 2,462. Retween these points,for any avail
able route, by land or water, one-third should he
added, which would mflke the distance to the
mouth of the Columbia 3,777 miles, and to San
Francisco 3,282. Perhaps no practicable route
can ho made under 4000 miles to either point.—
lie shows that the corresponding latitudes of the
Eastern Continent have enclosed for ages a most
numerous population, whilst in North America
the country is just now to lie settled. He esti
mates our Pacific possessions at 1,155,000 square
miles, and the area of the country.lying between
them and the Mississippi, at one million more—
so that, West of the Mississippi, the United Stales
have a territory far larger than all Europe, ex
clusive ol Russia, and capable ol sustaining a pop
ulation. at the rate of only 30 to the square mile
of 64,650,000. He then remarks :
“8u''h is the wide region on which it is now proposed
11 introduce die camel as an aid tu mm. To attempt,
ina brief article, to give a dissertation on the physical
fitness of the animal in the region before us, would be
out of place ; hut so far we must go ns to obviate s *me
error as to the range of that animal on the eastern conti
nent. In romtnon parlance, whenever the camel is nam
ed, sandy deserts and airy and desolate regions ris > to our
imagine i n. These ideas are deceptive, if we even
confine our views to the countries where that noble ani
mal has nccuiipanie,I man in all recorded ages and come
into the class of vulgar err ,rs. Haciiiuoa, Sogdiana, Asia,
I’arthia, Clmrasmia &c., were ancient ami partially imsl
ern provito ial na nes for the region In the east and south
east ot the Caspian sea. and extending northward and
s nthward of latitude 40°. The Baelri.m camel, so nam
ed, is in use more than two thousand miles still further
11 the northeastward, into regions of northern Asia, as
high as latitude 50°. In brief, the different specks of
the camel r xists on the rastern continent, from the recess
e*of tropical Africa northeastwards more than ten thous
and miles, over regions as diverse in climate as would
be found in Ann riea, t'ruiu thu basin ofthe Orinoco to that
of the sea of Canada.”
He thinks half a million of dollars would he
well employed in undertaking to introduce the
camel in a country of such magnificent distances,
and resembling, in so many particulars, regions
in which it is the sole means of locomotion and
commerce. Rail-roads and Turnpikes will, doubt
less, in due time.be made—but years must elapse
before a continuous connection by either will
stretch from the l’acific to the Mississippi. In
the meantime,trade and travel will demand sol '
thing swifter and more reliable than the mule i*
tlie ox. The camel meets all the requirements,
and why should it not be brought hither ? The
horse was unknown in South America when the
Spaniards made their settlements. We hope it
will engage the attention ot Congress. In the
meantime, the papers say a company is forming
in Boston to import camels. We believe five
years w ill not elapse before a mail will be carried,
on the hack of the camel,from tlie head w aters of
the Missouri toSan Francisco, in 15 or 18 days.
We published in our last a letter,from Ma
jor Jack Downing, to his old friend, the Senior
Editor of the Union. The letters of this distin
guished gentleman, during the administration of
Gen. Jackson, had no little influence in moulding
public sentiment upon some of the most impor
tant political questions of that period. The char
acter was conceived by Mr Smith, Editor, we
believe, of the Portland Advertiser, in which pa
lter the first communications of the Major appear
ed. They attracted great attention, and were
read w ith avidity by all classes, and elicited great
admiration. At this juncture, Chailes A. Davis,
an intelligent and gifted merchant of New York,
commenced writing,under the same signature,for
the N. Y. Express. We do not know how far
such an appropriation ot another’s name and char
acter can he justified in a moral point of view.—
But so it was, Mr. Davis did “filch” from Mr.
Smith "his good name,” by which act he did, in
spite of Shakspeare, “enrich” himself—at least
so far as fame is concerned. When some other
member of the club ventured to touch the char
acter of Sir Roger de Unverly, Addison, in ner
vous apprehension for his literary lame, took care
to kill tlie worthy Baronet in the next number of
the Spectator. Mr. Smith did not act thus in re
gard to the Major. From motives which may be
ersilv divined he ceased to write, and the great
bulk of these highly popular letters were w ritten
by the intrusive Mr. Davis. It must he confess
ed.the reputation ot the Major did not suffer from
the sell-assumed guardianship of the New York
w riter. With a not less delicate seme of quaint
