To thete bounties, which are to con- itsntly enjoyed that we are prone to torget the Soorce from which they come, olhera have been added, which are of to extraordinary a nature that they eaa- aot fall to penetrate and soften even the heart which It habitually Insensible to the ever-watchful provi dence of Almighty God. In the midst of a civil war of onequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes teemed to invite tnd provoke the aggressions of foreign Slates, peace bat been preserved with all nations, order hat been maintained, the laws hare been respected and obeyed, and harmony hat prevailed everywhere, except In the theatre of military conflict, while that theatre has been greatly contracted by tbe advancing armies and navies of the Union. The needfnl diversion of wealth and strength from the fields of peaceful Industry to the national defence have not arrested the plow, the shuttle or the shin. The ax has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, at well of Iron and coal at ol the precious roetalg, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population hat steadily increased, notwjthstaodlhg the waste that has been made In the carnp, the siege and the battle-field and the country, rejoicing In the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, Is permitted to expect a continuance of years with largo Increase of fretdom.

No human counsel hath devised, nor bath any mortal hand worked out these great things. Tbey are tbe graclout gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with ut In anger for our tins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they sbonld be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and voice, by the whole American people. I do. therefore, Invite my fellow-citizent In every part of the United Slates, and also those wbo are at sea, and those who are sojourning In foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a day of thanksgiving and prayer to our beneficent Father, who dwelleth In tbe heavens.

And I recommend to them that, wbilt offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular dellveranoes and blerslues, they do also with humble penitence for our national per-vtrsenett and disobedience commend to their tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners, or sufferers In the lamentable civil strife In which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently Implore tbe- interposition of tbe Almighty hand to heal the wounis of the nation, and to restore It, at toon is msy be consistent with ihe divine purposes, to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility and union. In testimony whereof I bare hereunto set ray hand and caused the seal ot the United Statet to be affixed.

AREIT1L OF TUB EUK0P1 IT BOSTON The French Note to Russia on the Polish Question.

Prince GortschakofTs Reply to Earl RusselL British Opinion on Mrs Lincoln's Last Letter. TIIE PROPOSED MONARCHY IN MEXICO. By the arrival at Boston of the steamship Euro pe, from Liverpool, on the 19th ult, we have received filet of foreign journals to that date. We make a few extracts, but all the news which these papers contain has been anticipated by telegraph. THE POLISH QUESTION.

THI FRtNCU TO 1'EINCK UORTSCHAXOy t. We make the following extractt from the di- patrn addrevsed by the French Minister of foreign AOairt, M. drouth hots, to tne rrencn Am bat. ador at St. Petersburgb, in reference to the Polish question now cngxging so seriously the alien toil of the three Western Powers In their neaoua tions with Russia.

The document has been published only since the IHUi Inst. It opens under date of August 3. with a statement of the naaes upon which tbe three Powers bad commenced their efforts to establish tranquility on a lasttnt( foundation, and preventing the return of petiurballont which have never octuired without disiurDtng the piiDiic mind ot Europe, ana endanger lug the existence of peace." These efforts the French Government regrett to see misapprecialed by the Czar, and it proceeds at once to argue aaalDnt the Kusstan denlsl that the l'on-n Question It European and not a local one. We quote i i ne polish question, according to Prince Goati CHAiorr, It only European from lit origin and revolutionary tendencies, and the present events are solely tbe work of cosmopolitan demagogues. Our time has seen societies agitated by too many different move ments to coniound under tbe same designation the desperate efforts of a people defending Its nationality ana the wtio aspirations ol wrong-beaded men at tacking the very bases of social order.

Tbe agitation in roiana springs Horn ousts wntca nave nothing factitious or accidental. They are tbe result of a state of affairs which commenced nearly a century ago, and which hat, more than any other, perbapa, contributed to produce an-i perpetuate revolution in Europe. The insurrection which we now witness was announced by evident symptoms, and provoked by a measure which, in tbe existing state of men minus, could not tail to have tbe most disas trous consequences. Poland responded to it by an appeal, not to revolutionary passions, but to tbe no-blett lentiments of the human neait, to Idea of justice, patriotism and religion. Is It t.ot a fact of Indisputable noloiiety that the whole Poll.h nation, each and every clan, according to its means, actively and pa-nnely, according to place and circumstances, has joined the Iniunection body and soul? nit is, in pretence ol sucu a manifestation, the agitation got up ti a lew emigrant committee Consequently ihe Cabinets have not been mistaken as to the real character of the Insurrection.

They have pointed out it meaning to trie Cnuitnf In Ibe 1'iench Chambers, In the English Paillatnent. and In Ihe Au Irian Ruichsiath, the public opinion ot mr three countries rms made Itself hoard by Its moat accredited oigant.to encourage the Gov ernments to preserve In the course on which they had entered. Everywhere in Europe where deliberative assemblies exlt, the same language has been heard. In addition to the constitutional Powers fiee mt spontaneous riemonmaUons huve everywhere ptoved the sincerity of tbe nubile 1m- preeslont, the unanimity of which wat dally recorded by the press. Constrained by the feeling of their ie-spons bill ty to more nfrayve and dtrcumspection al most all tbe Cabinets, Trom the Court of Rome to the Ottoman Porte, and from Stockholm to Lisbon, have consigned in dispatches, the tenor of which Ihe Kussian.uovernmeot Is acquainted with, the expression of opinions conformable to those of which tbe three courts have made themselves more particularly tbe Interpreters." Again: The signature of the general act of Vienna was.

It Is true, preceded by tbe conclusion of special treaties between tbe three rowers on the borders of Poland but those treaties bad been prepared by long and laborious negotiations, tbe real European character of which cannot be misunderstood, ine Congress, moreover, did not establish so absolute a distinction at the Cabinet of St Petersbuigh supposes between the general stipulation! and the private arrangements. If the one it textually introduced into the final act the others are ex pressly annexed to it. 1 be task of the Powers, moreover, is not to revise tne details of Administrative regulations, and to put them In harmony with tne progrett of the day. The general principle! themselves are under consideration, and the object of the Cabineti it to restore peace to Poland, either by determining tbe proper application of the stipulations of Vienna, or by suggesting the modifications which may be made, in order tbe better to satisfy the necessities of the future. The Power! who signed the sets of the Congress are therefore competent to delib erate.

In concert with Kussla, on tbe question of public right and of general interest, which the Polish In surrection placet In some measure on the order of the day." The pennltlmale paragraph of the diadatch it couched in an unmistakable tone or warning-. ii remmna at tne same time to the (Government of tbe Emperor to discharge an Imperattoe duty It It to call Hit Excellency'! moit leriout attention to the gravity of tbe altuatlon, and the responsibility which it imposei upon Russia. trance, Austria and Great Britain have point ed out tne urgent necessity of putting an end to a deplorable state of things, which it lull of danger to fcurope. i bey nave at the time time indicated tne meant which, in their opinion. ought to be employed to airlve at this termination, and they have ottered their cooperation In order to attain It with more certainty.

If he doet not enter uprn the pith which li opened to her by friendly counsels, sn msket herself respon ble for ibe serious contequencet wnich the pro longation oi tne troubles oi i'oianu may produce.

Th L(mtim Tiwua or tho 17th Inst, lacUaf ajjiUlMolnaalar ItUt) delivera Iteelf of a screed lpon President Lraeou. It accounts It Strang a -that such a man should hive been celled apon to gnlde tbe dertlniea of mighty nation daring a grand historical crisis, but that he anoald have blundered and vacillated as ho hat. without for a moment losing confidence In himself. or altogether forfetung that of hie countrymen, ta stranger it argues that Mr. Linoou'i course on alt the questions at Issue hat been inch nt to thow that he never can have bad anything worthy of being called a policy, unien It be that which ho describee In tbe wisest of all his homely sayings na resolution to "keep pegging away." Hit Inconsistencies have been mott glaring In the treatment of the greatest proolem wlin which be has had to deal Slavery and It would be isalble to cull from his declarations on this subject passages ia favor of every principle trom Abolitionism to absolute non-intervention.

The Timet thenquotes what It Is plessed to term tbe more ambitious paragraphs of the President's recent Irtier to the unconditional Union mea of Illinois, as a specimen of his style and habits of thought That portion of tne letter which refers to the opening of the Mississippi and the achievements of Uncle Bern's wet feet'' Is thua commented on How any man In hit tober senses could have sat down io compose such a rhapsody as thU, or having composed It, could have read It over with gravity and ordeied It to be primed, passes our comprehension. It Is something between a prophecy and an oiacuiar retpoi.se, with a dasn of Yankee slang and terms of expression which remind us alternately of Osslan.of Ihe Incoherent utteiances of the Maori Chiefs, and ol scnooi-boy translations of corrupt choruses In Greek trsgedlans. CaonatLL never spoke and Cailtli never wrote anything so hopelessly obscure, and the persons, if there be ary such, to whom such a jargon can appear Impressive or even Intelligible must bare faculties and tastes of which we can form no Idea. One is really tempted to thick that Mr. LincuLs cannot have been hlimelf when he penned so grotesque a production.

Hxaonorci tells that the aucent Persian deliberated drunk as well at softer on important affairs of 8ute. but we maybe sure that the ronclus on of a debate was conducted tn the latter condition. It Is difficult to beileve tnat the Amerxan President can have observed ibis pre-csution, tnotiKh he winds up with the timely injunction, "Let us be quite sober," and solemnly warms Ins readers not to be over-sanguiue ol a speedy triumph. And yet it would not be fair to judge of the whole letter by this wild and vague declamation. The eaily part, tbouith by no meams free from fault! ot grammar or compatible with our nottom of literary dignity, Is not devoid of a certain rough honesty and force.

It it this, tempered by a lawyer-like smartness, that secures to Mr. Likcolh, In tplte of hit arbitrary weakness, a certain popularity among a people who enjoy a joke even when It It practiced at the expense of themselves or the dearest interests of theli country. At! aLtogithkr DirriRr.jrT orufiosi. From thi London Star, Stpt. 17.

The text of President Likcoln'b letter to the Bpnngfield Convention Justifies at once our distrust of its telegraphic abstract and our canfidence In ihe writer. It it disappoints the expectation of Imme diate peace, It confirms our faith in the man wbo has the conduct of Ihe war. It offers no new Induce ment to the Soutnern Statet to return to their allegianceneither doet It attempt to placate the Northern opponents of the Federal Government But it place in tbe clearest, strongest light ti wicked unreasonableness of the rebellion and the religious duty of all loval citizens. At a vindication of tbe Washington Cabinet. It is a masterpiece of cogent argument As an appeal to the spirit of tbe nation, it is sublime in the dignified simplicity of Its eloquence.

-Vo no6r Stan paper toes ever penntd. It it the manifesto of a truly giea' man in an exigency of almost unequalled moment, ll is worthy ol a CaoMwiLi. or a VV ashimoton. It breathes the Calm heroism of a Christian patriot trusting In the bleaalng of God upon dauntless exertions in a just eaue. It is such a Gasiraldi and Mazxini might have written Irom Ho.ne 11 evenlx had placed them at the head of an Italian commonwealth thrrnteded by a formidable comblnatlo ol enemies to its freedom and Integrity.

It la the utterance ol a statesman who ha noihlog lo conceal, of a ru er guiltiest of oppression, of the genius that ronmsii In transparent honesty and unflinching resolution. Addressed to friends and neighbors, to supporter! and opponents, It open to ail tbe world to read. It really challenge the judgment of contemporary civilization, though It contains acurcn a hint of any country but tne Unite Stales. If it fall' mere to combine all parties in ardent approval of the President't policy. It must be because party difference! are liivluciole to logic and But abroad, it must enlarge and strengthen tbe evergrowing sentiment in favor of a Government that insists upon making citizens of all its subject, and vindicating the supremacy of tne national will against groundless discontent and a local Insurrection.

MR. MASON'S WITHDRAWAL. A Richmond letter in the Index, tbe organ In London of the Southern Confederacy, stating that the Commissioner of the South at tbe English Court would be shortly recalled, in consequence of the present attitude ot the British Government, O', at report putt it in consequence of the rudeness with which he hat been treated at the Foreign Office, haa been copied by the Moniteur, the official organ of the French Government which Is considered to be significant of the Emperor's leaning toward the South.

The ratification by tbe Moniteur of the blonder It committed (as I pointed out at the time) In calling tbe Ftvnda a privateer, haa created a sensation, and made the Northerners and their friends quaae tn their thoet. The official print correct! Itt error in bandtome termt, and the notet mutt be added to the many significant tymptomi apparent of late of the growing friendship between the Cabinet of Richmond and the Tuilerles. The effect produced by the Mowttur'i declaration respecting the gallant Confederate cruiser bat not by any meant been lessened by the newt that Mr. Sudill.

who Is spending the season at arritt with bit family, is a favorite guett at the Villa Eugenie, and that the Empress has shown even more than her usual grace and urbanity la her reception of the representative of the Confederate States. Tbe Florida being now officially acknowledged by tbe Monueur as a duly com missioned man-of-war, common tenae would seem to indicate that the sham action brougnl against her as a privateer will naturally fall to the ground. Were tbe action a bona fiJe one there it not the remotest doubt that the parties would be fully Indemnified by the Con-fenerate Government But tbe action Is evldedtly agot-up affair by authorization obtained on in parte statement from a minor tribunal at Marseilles, procett-serteis dispatched to Brest, Ivlng in wait for the FiortUa as crimns lor sailors on Tower-hlH. AU this has a very suspicious look about tt. On thlt subject the France baa the following, which seems to be In accordance with equity If a ench frigate tlnkt an Ehgllth merchantman, or merely damages it, Ihe owners of tbe latter cannot seize the French vessel to Indemnify themselves, but are bound to apply to their Government who forwards their claim to that of Franca, and taket ttept to obtain tn Indemnity duly by law.

Tnote principle are applicable not only to regular Powers like France and England, but also to those States which, without being politically recognize are neverthelest ackaowiedeea at in poeaas-slon of the rights of belligerents. However that may be, the civil claims against the FLerxda will enable these Important question! to be dltcuased and decided by the law court." THE MEXICAN CROWN.

In looking around for an eligible Prince, It easily Uses Itt gage, at latt upon the Austrian Archduke MAxmuua, and presents a long array of his acquirements aa a scholar, his repeated and varied journeylngs In near ly every part of the world, bis enlightened Intelligence, bis liberality of mind, his amiability of character, bis experience In government, and hit ad ml aula record generally. Thlt btndsome record It roumied ff with quotation! from the text of their compatriot, OuTixaxi EtriADA, and by the official testimony of Lord Malkucst, British Minister of Fotelgn A ftHira In I h39, touching the liberal and conciliatory spirit of tbe tombardo-veoeiian author lilts when Maximilian presided there. This appro ballon of ni lend, and tne Archduke's connection by marriage with the Belgian dynasty, are hailed at bnppy auguries. Finally, summing up all lit argument, tbe Com-mlsnlon holds that it hat fully show a that "1.

The Republican tyttem, whether in tbe federal form or under a central power, baa been the ex-bsu'tleu source, since it has been la practice, of ail the evils that overw helm our country. (Mexico,) and that the evil cannot be destroyed except by plucking uo Its roots. 3. That the monarchical form it the only one that ean ha ettabliihed In Mexico, especially under exist ing circumstances, because ia It are united or and liberty With tbe force necessary to overcome anarchy and demagogulsm, the Immoral and disorganizing principle. 3.

That In order to found a throne It tt Impossible to select a citizen of the country (although It lacka not eminent men) because the qualltlet noveatary for a Klnc cannot be entendered on tne spur ol the mo ment, ana are not likely to be found In the private life of an ordinary Individual. 4. And lastly, That among Prlreet Illustrious for their exalted oirtn. not less than lor their perioual qualities, the Archduke Maximilian, ol Ausuia, ta tne man who should receive the suffrage of ibe nation aa tbe dlrecor of ua destlrf.es. because, of all the exi'Ung scions of royal tamilien, he Ik one of the most distinguished for Ms virtues, hit extensive acquirements, his exalted intelligence, and bit skill in the ait of governing.

Conseouenilv. the Commission submits for Ihe con sideration ot tne honorable assembly the following resolutions 1. The Mexican nation adopti a Itt form of Gov ernmenta limited and hereditary monaioby witn a Calhnllfl 3. The sovereign tball assume the title of Emperor of Mexico. J.

The Imperial CTtw of Mexico la offered to Hie Imperial and Roval Highness Prlne. PianmAnn MaxiniLtAn, Archduke ol Austiia, for him and ma ue- Bc.endants. 4. In case that, owing to circumstances lmposlb'e to be foreeen, the Archduke FganiMAHD Maximilian should not conclude to accept the throne thu ottered him. the Mexican nat oa refers to the good will of H's Imperial Maje-ty Napolioh Emperor of the French, In order that be may designate lor it tome other Catholic Prince.
