Thit it would caue an run for gold, in the face of a Larjje importatio luc a that now aiiiiouncd from New York, penUntous existence in the country, not an exotic forced on by the of the State. Oold, which flow to and fro, which, a the anti gold" docton take care to tell us, an article of commerce, and risei and falli in the market, ii here in a natural and tponlaneoui manner. Were it pur chwed by the State at a premium, at the occasion required, it would no longer hare that character which qualifies it for the standard of value.

It would, in fact, be no Ftandard at all. The State, too, would be forthwith saddled with, an offico which certain philosophers appear to hare' thought the chief end of good government, but which would, in fact, be a moot childish and ridiculous ambition that of keeping the gold in the country." The chiaf aipect of such a measure as a large advance on the credit of the country is, that it is an extraordinary interference with the course of trade. The preeent state of things, though we choose call it a crisis, is a natural and a healing proce. It is the natural result of certain causes, physical and human of famine and, excessive speculation and expenditure. From these causes the floating, and convertible capital of the country has been reduced to a very low ebb; and though it if alwoltitely low, yet it is very much lower when it is compared, with the present unprecedented nmor.st of old engagements' and new There is a fierce and universal competition for it.

It is urgently required for all kinds of.iutercfts for railways, for 'manufactures, for domestic trade and foreign trade, for speculation in share, fund, and produce of every description, for the management of sugar plantations and other estates, for working existing rail wars, for the purposes of Government, and even, as appears, for the expenditure of our own metropolitan worlhoupe. is only a little to be divide amongft many. There are two direct ways of meeting this evil the one ordinary and natural, the other extraordinary and artificial. The former is art tally in progress. Ready money being much in request, and bearing a very high interest, is coming in from abroad.

Foreign, capitalists know very well that, notwithstanding the occasional follies and of England, yet, in the long run, the British securities are the very best and most convertible in the world. Now, of course, is their harvest No.f is the time for foreigners to buy Knglisb stc ckf to pay 3 per cent, for the purchare money, or railway shares to pay 7 or 8 per or to lend money to good Knglirh houses at 8 per cent. We do not say it is a matter for congratulation that our pec jritie should pass into the hands of foreigners. It 'is by no means pleasant to consider tbt by our miffortur.es or our follies so large a portion of our public and private dividends is likely to go abroad for the future. Nor do we contemplate with much satisfaction the prospect of our' own market being disturbed by foreign fluctuations.

We only say that the rpontaaeous import of gold is a natural remedy for the present pressure, and is likely to afford considerable relief. In the nie.mtime, an indirect remedy is in progrcw and one cf much more efficacy than the. introduction of foreign capital. The pressure is already relieved, and will be further relieved by the suspension cf railway works, and genera! contraction of mercantile engagements. As then state that Chapoltepec had been just carried by storm, and that the American army had entered Mexico, Saxta Amu retiring before them to Guada lonpe.

The conduct of the American troops throughout the whole war, which, as far as regards their behaviour in the field, docs honour to the race from which they spring, 'will lead us at once to the conclusion that the last reports are highly probable, and that the previous reverse, if it ever happened as is related, was brought about by some prodigious disparity of numbers or position. Still this mends matters but little, for neither the capture of the city of Mexico nor the display of national superiority is the object of Mr. Polk or his General. What they want is the submission of the enemy and the conciliatory termination of hostilities, and so far are these ends from being attained that the exasperation and pertinacity of the Mexicans increase Upon each defeat, and they have never made a nearer approach to a masculine or creditable deportment than at this very moment, when according to all calculations they ought hare been beaten into sure subserviency. The abortive negotiations which preceded the renewal of the war, and which will be found detailed form elsewhere, are in a high degree instructive, as indicating more conclusively than any other evidence could do the intentions and confidence of the respective parties.

On the side of the United States it was proposed that the boundary line of the two republics should run up the middle of the Grande, strike off westward on teaching the limit of New Mexico, take the course of the Gila and the lower Colorado, and so through the mouth of the latter river down the middle of the Californian Gulf into the Pacific. In other words, this would bring the south western boundary line of the United. States about ten degrees further south, would deprive Mexico of all Upper and Lower California as wU as of the districts on the Grande, and would leave her with the Gila for her northern boundary, but ju6t, above the present frontier of Sonora which' marks her settled territories. Knorroous as was this claim, it was not the point upon which the negotiations broke off, for the Americans phrased their requirements considerately, and offered a liberal price for the cession they desired. Santa Ansa, it is true, was for reserving a certain portion of California for Mexican expansion, and he suggested the in place of the 32d parallel as the boundary of the two countries.

Yet it is hardly disguised that on the point of cession and sale in this quarter the Mexican commissioners were amenable to the reasons which Mr. Polk brought, by millions, against them, and the transfer might have been completed but for a comparatively insignificant slice of debatable, land. The old Texan boundary line was again brought under discussion, the one party insisting on the Grande, and the other, as in honour bound, upon the Nueces and this little difference proved incapable of adjustment lietween parties who had just been judiciously chaffering about ten degrees of territory It is thus clear that from the great object which has been so unhappilyT sought by a war the Americans are now only separated by an obstacle which that very war has We have before expressed our persuasion that, looking at the natural destinies and necessities of men and states, the vast province of New California would much more reasonably fall to the lot of an expansive and enterprising peo fist as cemjauiep Cad it utterly impossible to I pie who might reclaim its wastes and colonixe its 1" or liorrow u.oaer, as fast as contractors find that their employers are penniless, that a railway nute of hasd longer negotiable, and that they are taemwivefi no longer trusted by navvies, or by tie of victuals and drink, the works must stop.iu.d do slop.

We did our best with two successive Ministries to induce, them to apply mere time! clit when millions of capital too sunk in earth, and now unavailable prLaps for some years, might have been saved. We wire referred, in answer, to the natural course of eients, and the deck which nature herself would ipese.

It is not the demand itself, but the manner in which it has been made, which has proved at once so discreditable and disastrous to the aggressors.

It can scarcely be doubted that if the United States had quietly and sagaciously made the same offef before the war which they make now, the bargain might have been amicably arranged, and the costs of the intervening hostilities, which independently of blood wasted and credit sunk, amount to more than the whole purchase money of the desired territory, might all have been saved. This, however, then appeared too costly a policy, and bullying was substituted for barter by a Cabinet willing to acquire a province without paying its just price. Advantage was taken of two flimsy pretexts to proclaim a war. With a signal forgetf ul ness of her own indebtedness to foreign States, and of the outcry with which she had received a monitory intimation hat compulsion on the part of a despairing creditor was strictly justifiable by international law, America announced her intention of enforcing at the sword's point the demands of her own citizens upon the Mexico. The preference to bo given to one of two contiguous' rivers as a boundary supplied' an immediate opprtunity of action, and from the debatable strip between the Grande and the Nueces the American forces marched into Mexico, thinking to fir the terms and the period" of their own retreat, and to win, by a glorious and agreeable campaign, the land for which they were reluctant to pay down a more equitable consideration.

The proverbial fruits of such policy are now before the world. Instead of the fortune they anticipated, they have now experienced eighteen months of distressing and unprofitable warfare, in which they have indeed lorne themselves bravely enough, but in a cause so bad that nothing but the most egregious compound of poltroonery and gasconade could have deprived their adversaries severe enough there is no need that ii should be aggravated Jy the rapacity and tyranny of a series of gaolers, warders, sham attorneys, and impostors acting as the clerks of admitted attorneys. These are the inner cogs and wheels of the machinery of the criminal law with which the public cannot be acquainted, but, doubtless, in their working they produce suffering far more intense than the actual punishment awarded by the Judge. A mere narration of the. facts which are said to recently occurred at the above police office will be more damnatory of the system than any comments we can offer upon it.

The story, as it is told by Mr. Rotch, is as fol lows A prisoner, whose name does not appear, was onr own BadkaJs!

From this course he as dissuaded by the 'gaoler, who prevailed upon him to engage the legal services of a person named Uobissom, as the charge was serious, and Robimso.v was expert in bringing prisoners through a desperate case.

Roans) "was of course waiting in the neighbourhood, and demanded five guineas for his services. The method in which this money was raised, and the result of the' disbursement, will scarcely be credited by those who hare not unhappily been compelled to know that such proceedings are of every day, occurrence at the Central Criminal Court, and at sessions. The poor woman had not the money. Her first step was, therefore, to dispose of every thing she had in the world, furniture, clothing, tc. Kven so she could not make up the sum, and Robinson would be sati3 Sta wiik no less than the exact five pounds and five shillings.

Shethen took the shoes off her feet and pawned them. Still the tale was short, and Ro bi'ssox obdurate. She had already borrowed from a friend, sold all she had, pawned her clothes and shoes one only source of raising a shilling or two remained she took the shoes off her children's feet, and pawned them also. With all this she was. still three shillings short, but she gave Robinson all she had raised, and implored him to save her husband.

This legal gentleman, it appears, was not satisfied, but taking hold of the poor woman's pocket, shook it, and said, This is not all you have got you have something more here Finally, a sum of 5. Cd. was made up and given to the legal adviser. One might have supposed that Robinson's services were of some value as he set so high a price upon them. The consciousness that he was in the possession of a great secret which would enable him to get the man off might have excused hini to hLfown conscience.

No such thing. As soon a3 he had pocketed the money, he coolly informed the poor woman that, by the advice of counsel, her husband must plead. Guilty." The next point in this distressing tale is this The unfortunate woman, hearing that her husband was condemned, was anxious to communicate with him, to learn what flannel or little necessaries he might wish to take with him. She waited underneath the court for the purpose of speaking to him as he was being conveyed from the cells to the van. Before this moment arrived, however, she says she gave he last sixpence she had in the world to the warder for conveying a message to her husband, and ith the same view was induced to promise another official on duty that she would find the means of procuring him a pint of porter from over the way.

The account would stand something thus between this unhappy couple and the harpies of the Criminal Law Paid Mitchell, gaoler at Marvlebone Police o5ce. by husband, for bearing a message Paid ditto, by wife, for same purpose Paid ditto, price of gin. say Paid Robinson, legal gentleman, for profeasioaal wr vices in recommending husband to plead Ouilty," proceeds of sale of furniture, clothes, wife's shoes, children's shoe.

Let us hope that it will be sufficient to call public attention to the existence of such iniquities in the very heart 'of our social system to procure the immediate dismissal of all parties concerned. By the report it will be seen that these' are not the only acts of extortion with which the warders, stand charged, and thema gistrates have already done what they could in the matter, having discharged two of the warders and severely admonished another. So far all is well but we cannot so easily get rid of the i r.t Vr.r TUav Lira Biieali I FUV l'1UUU U1K1J fi, I of their fellow creatures.

If any citizen of the United Statd should be perversely persuaded that. Kngland doires either the discomfiture or embarrassment of his country, he need only observe how the arrivul of each successive mail affects our great commercial communities. Calculations of exchange and exports Use very little room for considerations of jealous), aad political conclusions altogether, vanish eotipured with the prospects of trade.

It canrivt be dinied that the apprehensions of interminable hostilities, excited by the late despatches are full) warranted by the intelligence they bring. Indeed, it ls not easy to discover a single point embarked in the war to save, they find their propo and the inutility of their efforts in the efforts of theliench to discountenance them on every occasion we look for an alleviation of the ill rather than a sals deliberately rejected by an emboldened enemv, i total reform. The matter is, we understand, to be and themselves reduced to straits from which they can only escape by concessions which would convict at once their first policy and their present perplexity, or by redoubled efforts of sanguinary violence which may end no better than before. We earnestly entreat the attention of pur readers to a report of the proceedings at a meeting of the Middlesex magistrates, which appeared in our Friday's number. The iniquities of prison disci laid before the Hme Se( ret a it for his careful con sideration.

This person has written to us denying that he received any money. We have received by our ordinary express the Paris journals of Friday. The Journal tin Debatt publishes the following article on the affairs of Switzerland: In Switzerland, in everywhere else, and more perhaps of an extraordinary courier from Paris for Switzer land, with despatches for the French Charge d'Affaires and fresh instructions, in case the Diet attacked the cantons of' the Sonderbund. "We have been assured," adds the Courrier, that, should that event be realized, M. BoU Ie Comtc has been ordered to present a protest to the Vorort, to quit Switzerland immediately and return to France.

Similar instructions were forwarded by M. de Mtt ternich to Baron dc Kaiscrsfeld, Minister of Austria in Switzerland." The National cogtains the following observations on its seizure on Thursday last "We read in the Mmittur Paruun that the Xationul was seized on Thursday at the Post office and at the printing house. Nothing is snore true, and we must admit the accuracy of the statement. We could hare wUhed, however, that the jounnl abvvenaxoed had carried its civility further. It would hare been agreeable to us to Icam the cause cf our seizure, for we declare on our conscience that we neither know nor ran we guess the cause.

We vainly analyzed our entire number to discover what remnant of a phrase, what ill sounding word, could explain the susceptibility of the law fficers. We vainly examined through the nugnifying glaas with which the Attorney General reads the Xational, still the cause has escaped us, and we are reduced to the necessity of soliciting as a favour that the law officers would acquaint us the crime we have committed. It is the more urgent do so, as our ignorance exposes ns to repeat the fault which caused a risit from the Commissary of Police. But an idea occurs to us. I'nder the Spanish Inquisition prisoners were obliged to make an examination of their past conduct, and to demand the secret of the severity practised by the Holy office.

It was thus, on their own confession, they were coidemned, M. Delangle, the Attorney General, and inheritor of those sacred traditions, mean to force us to a publnvtonfes sioa? If so, our examination of conscience shall be shortly conclivied i and there is no occasion for torture to unseal our lips. The Government, moreover, knows us. Well convinced partisans of the principle cf the sovereignty of the peopli, we acknowledge no legitimate power but that which derives Its right to direct society from that source. The existing Government has no other foundation and if, deny, in? it, origin, it would establish its basis without the limits of that fundamental principle, in that case the nation, released from every engagement, would resume the full exercise cf its sovereignty.

We go further, and we affirm that the law always remaining independent of the fact; nothing should prevent France from modifying hr institutions, if such was her will. As long as a constitutional monarchy shall be sufficient for the wants of oar society, it' shall be maintained but if the ma jority of citizens believed it necessary or useful to the ge nera! interest to substitute for it the democratic riyime for example, Royalty would have completely finished its tk anl if, notwithstanding, it endeavoured to prolong its existence, it would te the Government which would be ia revolt against the universal wish of the nation. Have we been seize! for having professed those undeniable truths! If so. the law officers ought to hare begun by tearing the Charter, and even that would not be sufficient, the events of 89 an i 183o should be effaced from our recollection. But, perhaps, though innocent In the domain of theory, we are culpable in practice.

Of that we willingly admit that we are' guilty. Yes, we'bitterly deplore that the Government has cast the country into a course full of danger and misfortune. Corruption at home, revolutionary reaction abroad, afflict ani irritate us. Is this complaint a crime! France, whea establishing a new dynasty on the throne, did not, a far as we are aware, renounce the natural development of her destinies. The revolution of July was net accomplished for the exclusive advantage of a family st least, we believe to.

But when we see the Go vernment, in place of marching in the road of progress, in cessantly receding whea every day aristocratic, tendencies are more and more manifested in complete disaccord with the desires and with the interests of the country, hare we not a right to assert that the nation has been disappointed in its hopes and it is imputed to us as a crime that we point out the cause of its error. Some persons on our'sid ima gine that a remedy for those evils may be found in electoral reform. Did we ever deny the efficaciousness of those means! Did we refuse that pacific solution! Jot the least in the world. The experience of the past, however. inclines ns to doubt that the Government will erer consent to it.

That opinion may offend them, but it cannot constitute a crime. But to what purpose would it be to carry this discussion further Though we have been seized, it is not that we were more culpable in the eyes of the Govern ment yesterday than the preceding days. Our crime arises from our independence. That which the Government prosecutes in us ii the public.roice, which will not permit it to demoralize the country, ever on the watch to defend the principles of authority ani of liberty, equally compromised. The, Government has forgotten but one matter between its dream of revenge and the reality between the seizure of the Xational arid its conviction, there is the jury.

It is to it we submit with confidence the care of pronouncing between Several fishing establishments have been founded of late on the coast of Although not yet numerous, they possess nevertheless between and 400 boats, manned by 1,400 or 1,500 seamen. With a view to encourage those first elements of a maritime population, the Minister of Commerce and Agriculture had submitted to the sanction of the King an ordinance to the follow ing "effect Sea fish, fresh, dried, salted, or smoked, caught and cured on the coast of Algeria, either by French or native fishermen, or by foreign fishermen domiciliated in the colony, and prepared with French or Algerian salt, shall be freely ad mitted into French harbours on a certificate of their Algerian origin delivered by the Custom officers of the port of embar cation." That Royal ordinance appeared in the Momitmr of Friday. Letters from Toulon of the 19th inst announce that the Prince de JoinviUe had left the squadron at the Islands of Hyeres, and sailed in the Titan steam corvette for Civita Vecchia. The maritime tribunal of Brest pronounced on pline it discloses arc scarcely credible at the present aot very lisely. wiucn tne pition oi tne Americans is materially day.

Tiree ir 75f. 50c. 1 Since the foregoing was in type, we have reofvcl the Paris papers of Saturday, with a large m2T foreign correspondence. The affairs of Switzerland occupied for the moment public attention in Paris beyond all other topics. There is, nevertheless, nothing decisive on tlie jecf to be found in the journal before us tr't correspondent encloses U3 a proclamation and a dr cree of the Swiss Diet, repeating the decree tf tii 2tth ofMuly last, and calling upon the inhabitar.t3 theseven cantons to oly it implicitly by dissoV.iar their league, and (although it does not no jj.

cally demand it) expelling the A gocd deal of anxiety was expressed in Paris on th part which the French Government would tak? the event of hostilities between the cantons. The htnton of Friburg and cthtr of its sua" confederates might be overwhelmed, isolated, they are. The season is, however, so far advancf tuat the Radical volunteers would not.fiai many in an expedition into mountain, region cn with snow, and lined by dauntless, unerring rp shooters, the descendants of the founders of rxixt freedom, now additionally stimulated by rlig: enthusiasm. The numbers of the Catholics ever, so dLpropi)rtionate, that they woul3 har Jl bj able to resist successfully their anemies: Au3tria intervention would, therefore, in suci appear inevitable, and would render corresptnLcg action by the French Government The one has, however, so much occupation or. its hands in Italy, and the other would feel 's.

emlrrassed by concurrence ia Austrian Cjav: Ta tism, apart from other considerations, that interrea tion by them, even though it should be a mediators, seem3 doubtful. The Radicals rely upon their nura bers, and the comparatively defenceless conditioi of the smaller Catholic cantons, and are, therefore, nnvinn for irftr Trip rVafttnUp' ani I abnost fanatical. The chances would appear, therefore, that by the time at which ive publish these lines a blow.will have been struck. Austria and France would 'willingly interfere iTit could bedonewita safety, but this is a quality that would not belong to their intervention. End as it may, therefore, this affair can produce nothing consolatory or satisfactory.

The news from Spain brought by tiis'espres insignificant. The reported interruption of bliss at the Royal Palace of Madrid, mentionrJ in our correspondence of the 17th inst, seems pretaar ture. In the interim, matters were not at the Tulle ries deemed so conclusively satisfactory as to justify a journey of their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess' de Montpensier to the Spanish capital. From Italy our accounts are more important. We give elsewhere the Proprio Biota issued by the Pope on the 13th inst, which, it appears, was hailed with.

delight. This interesting document will be found ia another place. The Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Tuscany, accompanied by the Hereditary Prince, made their solemn entry into. Lucca on the 14th inst. The civil and military authorities, and the entire popula tion, went out to meet them at some distance from the town.

The Grand Duke caused te distributed amongst the poor; and all the articles pawned at the Monte Pio for less than 4f. to be restored free to their owners. We regret to be obliged to add that the intelli gence from Naples now before us. is extremely un satisfactory. The King was stil doubIe consequently getting deeper into danger.

The promises of an amnesty and of concessions to the public demands had not only not been carried into effect, but were universally considered as mere masks cover designs of a contrary kind, or as hollow pledge? given to enable the King to get over that which he hoped was but a transitory crisis. The proof of this insincerity, and of the. cruelty of the system, ia operation, is to be found in the numerous sanguinary and secret executions perpetrated daily. The consequence of this state of affairs was aggravated and widespread discontent, which was sure to produce new partial insurrections. Should any event occur to make the lower classes suffer, and throw their weight into the scale of discontent," says our correspondent, a revolution would be certain." As ii there were not enougn nearer nome to occupy the attention of the French Government, it was reported in the best informed circles that a naval expedition to aid the son of the Queen of Madagascar against his mother was in preparation.

The Prase, in noticing the failure of the Liverpool deputation in its attempt to" procure assistance from the Government, observes that it will be impossible to make any change in the bill of 1844 without the consent of the Bank Directors, inasmuch as that bill constitutes a formal contract between the state and a public company, which places it beyond ths reach of any amendment. The Prase then quottJ Sir Robert Peel's speech in the House of Commons when introducing the bill, and concludes with following remarks "It follows dearly, from these explanations, that tli. right of revising the bill of 1344 has been alienated, for 1' rear, and that the legislative nowers cannot exercise such a right until after that period. After that interval tt resumes it entire force. In matters of contract, we repeat, the legislative powers are rigorously limited.

It is not allowed invoke exceptional circumstances in order tojustify the re consideration of an act of Parliament. The engagement! most be strictly executed in the.terms in which they are inscribed and accepted by all parties. The bill of 1544 is. there. fore, not like ordinary acts of Parliament, which may be modified from year to year according as experience may demon strate the tieeessity of such changes.

It has a perfectly special character, which must not be losttisht of when the chances of a revision more or less proximate are discusJ. are convinced, for our own part, that a revision is not possible unless the proprietors' of the Bank place themselves ia accord with the Government, and it is not perhaps so easy to accomplish such aa accord as it i supposed. The rag the 17th inst, the acquittal of the captain and crew i jouniJji. wtith KCu5n, loudly against the Csbictt at of the Brazilian scnooner ires uoracoes, capturea moment, appear to us not to take a tumcienuy acmnu on the western coast of Africa by the French corvette view of the difficulties against which it has had to contend Camille, as suspected of piracy. in that respect.
