FUTURE DESTINY OF THE WORLD.
Europe is hastening to democracy. What is
France but a republic, fettered by a director? i
Nations have outgrown their swaddling clothes; I
they have attained their majority, and pretend I
that they have no longer need of guardians.— !
From the time of David down to our days,1
Kings have been at the head of affairs—it seems
now to be the turn of the people. The short i
exceptions of the Greek, Carthagenian and Ro- j
man republics, do not change the general fact i
of the political state of antiquity, viz: that mon
archy was the established condition of society ;
all over the globe; now, all societies abandon i
monarchy, or at least monarchy such as we I
have hitherto known it.
The symptoms ot the social transformation j
abound. In vain do we attempt to reconstitute [
a party (or the absolute government of one !
man; the elementary principles of this govern
ment are not to be found; men have changed !
as well as principles. Though facts sometimes
appear to oppose each other, they nevertheless .
concur towards the same lesult, like the wheels *
a machine, which, turning in opposite direc
tions. product a common action.
Sovereigns, by gradually submitting to neces- •
sary liberties, by detaching themselves without I
violence, and without shock, from their pedestal, |
might transmit to their descendants, for a long-!
er or shorter period, their hereditary sceptre, re
duced to proportions measured by the laws.—
France would have more calmly ensured her
happiness and independence by keeping a child
who could not have made of the days of July
a shameful deception; but nobody understood :
the event.
Kings persist in keeping what they cannot re
tain: instead of descending gently by an inclined j
plane, they expose themselves to the dangers of
falling into the abyss: monarchy instead of dy-1
iog a glorious death, full of honor and years, i
runs the risk of being flayed alive—a uielan- !
choly mausoleum at Venice contains only the j
skin of an illustrious general. The countries I
least prepared for liberal institutions, such as
Spain and Portugal, are impelled to constitution-'
ai movements. In these countries, ideas outstrip
men. France and England, like two mighty
battering rams, shake, by their reiterated blows,
the crumbling ramparts of ancient society. The
boldest doctrines on properly, equality, and li
berty are proclaimed morning and evening in
the face of monarchy, who tremble behind a
triple line of suspected soldiers. The deluge of
democracy is gaming upon them—they ascend j
from story to story, from the ground floor to the i
roof of their places, whence they will cast them- i
selves into the waves that will swallow them lip. i
The discovery of printing Ins changed the |
conditions of society; the press, a machine
which cannot now be broken, will continue to i
destroy the ancient world until it has formed a J
new one. Printing is the creating word of all
powers; the word (/« parole) created the uni
verse; unhappily the word (/«* V'erbe) in man
partakes of human infirmity; it will mingle evil
with good, till our fallen nature shall have reco-!
vered its original purity.
Thus the transformation brought on by the
age of the world will take place, every thing is
calculated on this plan; nothing is now possible ,
but trie natural death of society, as at present
constituted, which n»u3t lead to its regeneration.
It is impiety to contend with the angel of God,
to fancy we shall arrest the designs of Provi
dence. Behold from this elevated point of view,
the French Revolution is but a small part of
the genera! revolution; all impatience ceases,
all the maxims of ancient policy become inap-!
plicable. Louis Philippe has brought the demo-!
cratic fruit nearer by half a century to its nia- j
turity. The stratum of civism in which Philip-1
pistn has planted itself, being less exhausted by .
the revolution than the military and popular i
strata, still furnishes some sap for the vegeta- I
tion of the Government of the 7th August; but
it will soou be exhausted.
*******
But, alter all, it must go. What are three,
four, six. ten, twenty years in the career ot a i
people? The former state of society perished |
with the Christian policy from which it issued.
At Rome the government of a man was -ubsti
tuted for that of the law by Ctesar; they passed
from the republic to the empire. The revolu
tion now proceeds in a contrary direction; the
power of the law takes the place of that of a
man; we pass from royalty to republicanism. *
The era of the people has returned; it remains
to be seen how* it will be filled up.
*******
What will the new (state of) society be I can
not tell: its laws are unknown to me; l do not
comprehend it any more than the ancients could
comprehend the state of society without slaves,
produced by Christianity. How will fortune be
brought to u level? how will wages be adjusted
to labor? how' will woman attain to complete
emancipation? I know not. Hitherto society
has proceeded by aggregation and by families:
what aspect will it bear when it shall be merely
individual, as it is tending to become, as we see j
it already form itself in the United States? Pro- j
bably the human race will grow greater, but it
is to be feared that man will grow less—that
eminent genius will be lost—that imagination, j
poetry, the arts, will expire in the cells of socie- '
ty like a bee hive, in which each individual will :
be but a bee—a wheel in the machine—an atom
in organized matter. If the Christian religion '
were to be extmguishd, the world would come !
through liberty to that social petrification which ;
China has attained through slavery.
Modern society has taken ten centuries to '
compose itself: now it is decomposing itself.— 1
The generations of the middle ages were vigor
ous, because they were in the ascending pro
gression. We are weak, because we are In the
descending progression. This waning world
will not recover its strength till it shall have
reached the lowest degree, when it will begin
to reascend to a new life. 1 see, indeed, a po
pulation which proclaims its powers, which cries
‘/ rri/?.0’ the future is mine! I discover the uni
verse! those who came before me saw nothing!
the world was waiting for me! I am incompa
parable! my forefathers were children and idi
ots!”
Have the facts corresponded with these magni
ficent words? What hopes have been deceived
with respect both to talents and to character!—
If you except about thirty men of real merit
what a herd have we of libertine, abortive ge
neration, without convictions, without political
or religious faith, scrambling for money and
places, like beggars fora distribution of alms—
a flock which owns no shepherd, which runs
fitpm the plain to the mountain, disdaining the
experience of the old herdsmen, inured, to the
wind and the rain. We are but transitory, in
termediate obscure generations, devoted to ob
livion-forming the chain to reach the hands
which will reap the harvest of futurity.

LONDON POLICE.
Mansion Bouse.—A tall able-bodied Irishman,
named Thomas Moore, was brought before the
Lord Mayor, with a child in his arms, under the
following curious circumstances:—
The defendant used, some time ago, to sweep
a crossing in the borough, and contrived to get
as much by that occupation in winter as ena
bled him to support a wife and two or three
children. He, however, in a lazy or drunken
fit, sold the crossing for sixpence, and hud re
course to the more inglorious profession ot beg
ging, which he practised in the extreme of its
quirks and manoeuvres, and by which it is sup
posed he could manage to put a good joint up- ;
on his table on the day of rest. The figure he i
cut in the street proved he was an admirable
judge of effect. A child, about four years old,!
with naked feet, lollowed him, holding the tail ,
of his coat, while he walked along with a baby j
in his arms. The elder child had in her hand
an old leaky saucepan with milk in it, which
the defendant now and then put to the mouth
of the infant. This parental office he took care
to perform whenever he saw ladies approach, |
and when he perceived the bait was taken, he ,
never failed to say that the poor mother was on !
a sick bed, or rather a sick truss of straw, in
Kent street Borough, where she was just “ kilt”
for want ot victuals, and had not n drop in the
world to give the “baby.” Such masterly
grouping could not bat attract spectators, be
fore whom the defendu it exhibited his skill in
the art; but there happened to be a hard heart- '
ed person among the number, who removed the '
little interesting family to the Compter, and
from thence to the Mansion House.
Mr. Hobler said that he was in the habit of
seeing many fellows in the streets carrying ve
ry young children in their arms, and appealing
to any respectable females who passed by. He
knew of no class of beggars better deserving
punishment than such sturdy rascals. :i How !
long is it, my good sir,” said Mr. Hobler to the !
mendicant, “ since you turned Bull nurse?”—;
[Great laughter.”]
A policeman said that the defendant carried !
the child about, he believed, since a few days |
after its birth. t>o unaccustomed was the poor j
infant to the breast, that when put into a wo- j
man’s arms, it never turned towards that part \
to which “ natur” guided every other body’s :
mouth.—[Laughter.]
The defendant said that he carried about the j
“ childhern” to give them a little fresh air; and j
that his wife was too ill to attend to them.
Here a man, who said his name was illiam
Morgan, stepped forward and said that he was
the person who had purchased the street-cross
ing from the defendant. “ He didn’t act like a
man to me,” said Morgan; “ for the day when
1 tuck up his business, lie opened a new consarn
twenty yards at the t’other side o’ me.”—
[Laughter.]
l lie Lord Mayor: What! He swept the street
across in another part?
Morgan: That’s jist it, my Lord; but I would
n't cared abo.it it. if he didn’t builnurse at the
same time. He used to carry that ere baby in
one hand, while he sweeped up the mud with
t’other, ami the soft-hearted vomen used to say,
“ Oh, Mary, see if you ha’nt got a halfpenny to
give that ere poor man wot looks arter his ba
by so tender.”—[Laughter.]
Mr. Hobler said that the system of hiring
children had been very prevalent of late. It
was considered a sure source of profit, particu
larly amongst the able bodied paupers, who, ra
ther than go up a ladder or down into a sewer
to earn their bread honestly, would crawl over
the town all day bullnursing.
Morgan—Aye, please your Lordship, the
gemman’s right. I’m ble : it' J wouldn’t rather
sweep St. Giles, in the > • rmost streets nor
meet with one of the..*’ ’> •im orses. I wouldn’t
a cared if he sweeped t street within a yard
o’my consarn, pro* iding h- *!t the child at
home; but I’m Mowed if the wouldn’t a
walked twenty miles to go t! rough his shop.
(Great laughter.)
The Lord Mayor said that he certainly should
try whether he could not check the builnurse
system by sending every one he caught to Bride
well.
Morgan—But please you. my lord, what 1 con
siders worst of all is this here. Veil he r.ould
me the sweeping he gets up afore me in the
morning, and he smears it all over with mud,
and when I gets up I had to sweep it all away,
and while I was a sweeping he was doing a ve
ry pretty stroke of work, and no mistake, for 1
the people was passing over and over, and I’m '
blest if you’d think they’d ever stop where he
was bullnursing.
Mr. Hobler—What, did he carry this child :
there?
Morgan—Did he not! Aye, and if there’s a j
bit of dirt in the street, he sweeps it up in a cor-1
tier and puts his bare feet into it for to make the .
people pity him. Now I can’t do no such a thing, j
1 tried it once, but I’m blest if it didn’t hit mein i
the bowels.—[Laughter.]
The Lord Mayor directed that the wife of the
defendant should he brought up, and remanded
the defendant.
Sailors’ Combination.—The packet ship John
Jay, for Liverpool, and Henri IV, lor Havre,
sailed this morning, at the usual hour, having
been detained one day in consequence of the
sailors’ combination. Our distant readers may
perhaps need to be informed, that a combina
tion has existed among the sailors of this port,
or many of them, for a number of months past,
abetted by most of the sailors’ landlords, the ob
ject ot which is to control the price of seamen’s
wages. The price they demand is 15 dollars
per month, which is two dollars more than they
could command on the principles of free trade.
The Captains of the John Jay and Henri IV.,
not holding themselves bound by any illegal re
strictions, engaged their men, through notaries,
at 13 dollars; but the seamen who were engag
ed finding that much excitement existed among
their fellow's, and being apprehensive of person
al violence if they actually went on board, ap
plied on the afternoon of the 22d for a release i
from their engagement, w hich was accordingly i
The owners sent immediately to Phi- j
ladelphia for the necessary number of hands,
winch were easily obtained at satisfactory rates
and arrived here early this morning. At 10
o clock the ships were taken in tow by steam
boats, and are now on their way to their ports
of destination.—AT. Y. Cour. ^
Prospects Liberia.—Those Abolition fail*-]
tics who sneer at the efforts of the Coloniza
tion Society to establish settlements on the coast
of Africa, under the presumption that the
scheme will prove abortive, do not reflect how
much more Cluixotic some of their own wild
projects are o< sending missionaries to Pekin or
Seringapatam, with the hope of converting the
natives of those countries. The chances ofsuc
cess for the colony of Liberia are, after making
all due allowance for the inferiority ofthe blacks,
just as fair as were the daring attempts of
the early white settlers upon the continent of
North America. Were not the expeditions of
Columbus, Cabot, Raleigh, Hudson, Winthrop,
Oglethorpe, Jtc. also deemed visionary? Sup
pose our Puritan, Protestant. Catholic, German,
Dutch, Swedish ancestor-', had been of such
timid temperament that they would have been
deterred by the dissuasions of the croakers of
that day? Our glorious empire would have
still been a wilderness of savages, and this
great experiment which we are making to de
monstrate the capacity of man for self-govern
ment,- would have been to this day an Uto
pian dream. With our own proud example,
therefore, before us, we should be the first to en
courage this noble attempt to reconquer degrad
ed Africa from her miserable vassalage by
the light which her own liberated children take
bark* with thorn from this free country. The
day may come when Liberia shall prove anoth
er rock of Plymouth, and Timbuctoo the seat
of another Harvard—when Africa, the land of
the moor, of tire desert, and the camel, shall
have its oases peopled by sovereign States; and
the inappreciable blessings of education and
of republican institutions shall extend over her
sandy plains from the gates of Hercules to the
mouth ofthe Niger.—N. V*. Star.
Graham, the temperance lecturer, succeeds
very well in the bread and water line, but there
arc some of his doctrines and practices, that
are it seems, absolutely indigestible. He is now
in Portland, giving lectures to the married la
dies at which neither their husbands nor other
persons of the masculine gender—except the
lecturer himself—are permitted to be present.
Spinsters too are excluded. It is very natural
that gentlemen should wish to pry into the se
crets of these Eleusinian ceremonies, to pluck
out the heart of their mysteries; but all their ex
ertions to obtain a peep at the doings of the con
clave, have proved fruitless. The married la
dies refuse to reveal to their leige lords a title of
what takes place at their secret sessions, and
fearing that the bieath of suspicion might light
on them, they have had a public meeting, and
passed flaming resolutions, declaring that Mr.
Graham neither says or does any tiling that
might offend the most fastidious delicacy. Mr.
Graham gives out that in there lectures he dis-1
courses on the science of human life.
This does not exaclly satisfy the curious gen
tlemen and spinsters of Portland. “ A discourse
on human life” is about as definite a title for a
lecture, as “a dissertation upon things in gene
ral” would be. The Portlanders, like so many
Paul Pry’s are curious to know what peculiar
ramification of the science of human life the
learned lecturer chiefly confines himself and
his learned audience to. They will not be con
tent with the protestations of the married ladies,
that there is no harm in Mr. Graham’s seciet
discourses. The Portland papers are getting
warm on the subject.—A*. Y. Times.

ALEXANDRIA:
WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 30, 1834.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
The packet ship Roscoe, at New York from
Liverpool, sailed on the 21th June; and the pac
ket ship Rhone, also at the same port, sailed
from Havre on the 19th. We make the annex
ed extracts from the Commercial Advertiser.
. ENGLAND.
The British Parliament had been principal^’
occupied in discussing the subject of Tithes, the
Poor Laws, and the conferring of University
honors upon dissenters. An act authorizing
the latter had passed the House of Commons by
a majority of 174.
It is very evident, from the tendency of the
discussion going on, that a deep determination
exists, by a large party in England, to reduce
the revenues of the Church establishment; and
J not a few are disposed to sever the connexion
! between Church and State. Earl Grey is pledg
ed, indeed, to sustain the connexion, and will
doubtless do so as long as he can; but the cur
rent has been setting in very strong ever since
Lord John Russell, in 1828, obtained a repeal
of the Test Oath. The Tories havebeen grow
ing weaker ever since, whilst in the mean time
the liberal party has been growing stronger and
stronger. It is expected that the bill authoriz
ing dissenters to receive University degrees will
Jie rejected in the House of Lords; but the pa
pers speak of its final passage in tones of en
tire confidence.
The arrival of Don Carlos in England has
been previously announced in this paper. This
personage landed at Portsmouth on the 18th of
June, with his family and suite, from a yacht
which had been despatched to receive him from
the Donegal.
On Friday, the 20th of June, in answer to
a question by the Marquis of Londonderry,
Earl Grey declared that it was the intention of
Government to receive and treat Don Carlos,
while he remained in that country, as a Prince
of the Blood of Spain.
A public dinner was about to be given to Ge
neral Mina, in London on the 25th, in anticipa- |
tion of his return to Spain, where it is under- i
stood he will occupy an important place in the j
government. Joseph Bonaparte had requested
that his name might be added to the Committee !
on the subject.
Mr. Buckingham, the member for Leeds, is
about to introduce a bill into Parliament to
prevent the barbarous practice of duelling.
It is stated from undoubted authority that
Charles X. has sent to Don Carlos a cheque on
a London banker for a million of francs, (£40,
000.)
Mr. Spring Rice, the new Secretary for the
Colonies, having of course resigned his seat in
Hie Commons on coming into the Ministry, has
been returned again for Cambridge, by a very
small majority. It was considered of vital con
sequence to the ministry, that his election be
carried, und every effort was made for that
purpose. On all hands it seems to be conceded
that the present ministry stands very insecure
ly. The Times, and the Morning Herald, lead
ing journals, are strongly opposed to them;
und it is added, that even now, they hold office
upon the extraordinary and unenviable tenure,
that there are no persons willing to take their
places!
From the Loudon Mom inp Chronicle, June 23.
The Leeds Trade.—Considerable more bu
siness has been done in our cloth-halls during
the week, but at losing prices to such of the
manufacturers as bought their wool in Decein
| tier or January last. The stock of goods, how
| ever, which had accumulated in the munufac
I hirers’ hands during the early part of the year
| is now much reduced. In consequence of the
fall in the price of wool since January, and the
dull markets which have been experienced
since that time, the manufacturers have been
making very sparingly', and some descriptions
of goods have in consequence become scarce
—the firmness, however, which there is now
evinced in the wool market, the settlement of
the Trades’ Union question, and the recent im
provement in the demand, will induce the man
ufacturers to extend their operations in unticipi
tion of the fall.
The great falling off in demand consequent
on the derangement of the monetary system in
America, the fall of the price of wool, the strike
of the tailors in London, and the strike of the
Trades’ Union men here, combined almost to
annihilate the spring trade in Leeds and the
sesaon being now far advanced, little can be
expected to be done in the warehouses, until
the buyers are down to make their purchases
for the fall.
The advance in the price of wool at the Ger-1
man fairs has had the effect of improving
tfip demand for English worsted stuffs in that
country, though the stulfs are not made of for-,
eign but of English wool.
IRELAND.
Cholera in Di-bun.—The cholera has made
its appearance again in Dublin and its vicinity,
with scarcely any abatement of the virulence
which marked its first approach. In the
neighborhood of Kingston and Blackrock (says
a letter writer, numerous fatal cases have oc
curred; and although no public mention has
been made of cholera in this city, I have heard
from good authority that 40 deaths occurred in
one parish on the north side of the river last
week.
Chops and Markets.—The crops in Queens
county, Ireland, appear healthy and luxuriant,
and the potatoes promise well. In a very few
instances there has been a failure of the early
kinds, which are not planted in this country ex
cept for the u»e of the gentry; so that the class
whose fooc is the potato exclusively will suffer
nothing by the deficiency; but the general crop
is thriving and forward for the time of year.—
The poor man’s garden is well stocked.
The markets have experienced a further de-1
cline from the prices of lust month. A number
of farmers who had been hoarding provisions,
“speculating for a rise,” crowded the markets
on Saturday, and potatoes were sold at 3 l-2d
the stone.
Emigration.— The total number of persons
who have emigrated from the north of Ireland
at Londonderry this season to America, is 6054
—of whom 1699 went to Quebec, 1630 to St.
Johns, 2075 to Philadelphia, and 670 to New
York. There are a few emigrant vessels still
in the river, and it is probable that to the above
number 1000 more may have yet to be added.
Most of the above were persons in very poor
circumstances, laborers, and small farmers, but
all of a hard-working industrious temperament.
FRANCE.
Paris, June 21.—At length our inactivity as
respected general politics is on the point of ter
minating. The elections commence and will
end to day, unless in those cases on which a se
cond ballot shall become necessary, hut they
will positively close to-morrow. At present ,t
would be hazardous to make a guess at the re
sults in Paris. Within a day or two a slight n
action in favor of the opposition candidates has
taken place, which has suggested an expect
tion that MM. Laiitte, Solverte, Chardel Odd.
Ion Barrott,and Dupont det’Eure. Arago* Daii
non, and Berond (the author of the Charte) wi'l
be returned.
These are represented to be liberal, honest
patriotic, limited monarchy men, against wl
thb government is exerting its influence.
SPAIN.
Considerable alarm prevailed at Madrid cm
the lltli of June, in consequence of the sunno*
ed near approach of the cholera, and the Court
and the Ministers were flocking in from Aran
jeuz, as it is intended to include that site within
the line beyond which communication with the
capital is to be suspended.
1 hough that disease has been for some time
existing in the South of Spain, no great apnre
hension was eutertained. as the Sierra Morena
was looked upon us a sufficent barrier to its an
proach, and as the most strict regulations were
enforced to prevent the access of travellers from
infected districts; but now that two suspicious
cases have occurred in the town of Manzare
nes, not more than thirty leagues distant from
Madrid, the Government has taken a gr«\,t
alarm, and all the terror attendant on the
march of so direful an enemy is visible in tin
public generally. Physicians have been s«-n»
down to report on the deaths alluded to, and ,i
triple line of guardians and quarantines is about
to be established, to check if possible, its fuitiier
progress.
A Mr. Delaval has been appointed Spanish
Charge ri’Alfairesto the Emperor of Brazil \
slight disturbance took place at Seville, during
the festival of Corpus Chrisli.
Baron Rothschild has advanced 20 millions of
francs as a loan to the Spanish Government,
and, in addition to certain good tangible collate
ral securities! he is to be rewarded with the ti
tle of Royal Banker to the Queen of Spain.
The Russian Ambassador quits Madrid to iv
turn to liis Sovereign. The three Northern
Powers forming the Holy Alliance hav.- then
fore no longer Representatives at the Court m
Isabella. The Court will return to Madrid on
the 15th instant, and probably not again leave it
this year, on account of tie* meeting of Corio.
M. San Miguel, Minister of Foreign atTmr-i
1823, is expected at Madrid.
The house of Carasco & Co. of Madrid, one
of the first capitalists of that city, has stonp-J
payment.
LOUISIANA ELECTION.
The Globe of yesterday admits the defeat ot
the Jackson party in the City of New Orleans
thinks it probable that the Whig Governor is
elected-n nd only hopes that one or t wo of the Ke;>
resentatives from the State may be for Jackson
To account for this disastrous result, the Globe
gives out that the merchants in Louisiana have
been bribed by the Dank, and the merchant;
have bribed the people! A very convenient
way for settling the difficulty. Positively, tins
