The Coune ^ € reae > afc | r e no ^ bemg w rked ' w , order to get up a movement for the Empire . Accordingly , a long string of
addresses are daily appearing in the government papers , m which the members of the council express their gratitude to Louis Napoleon for " saving society , " ' by the " grand act of December 2 nd , " and a desire for " stability and repose . " The selfish ahd unprincipled fools will learn nothing from experience ; i They might , know from the lessons of the past that there cannot " be " stabiBt-f where there is no justice ^ and that their support of the existing despotism , so fa ? from being calcu-^ tate # k >; preserve toe ; repose ol -France ^ k eertam to gwe birtn to the most violent of revolutions .
While the Councils-General are making themselves the mouthpieces of the empire seeking Bonaparte , a " scandalous , spirit of opposition to that personage is daily growing stronger M . Bourlon de Eouvre has issued the following amusing - decree , Le . consequence of the opposition candidates having obtained a niajarity at the late election for Municipal Councillors at St . Flour : — . . „
" Considering that the re-election of Municipal Councillors who had resigned in order to avoid taking the oath to the Constitution , and the re-entering of those men so notoriously hostile to the Government into the council of the commune , is a scandalous act of opposition calculated to afflict honourable men , and that it is the duty of the authorities immediately to avenge public morality , insulted by those appointments . We decree : — of Flour is from the
" The Municipal Council St . suspended exercise of its functions . A commission , composed of MM . Dessauret d'Auviae , Mayor , President ; Chattel , Deputy , Tourseiller , Vassiere , Founder , will perform the functions of the Municipal Council of the town of St Flour . " The Sub-Prefect of St . Flour is charged with the execution of the present decree , which is to ba immediately published and posted in that town . " I find some of our friends were , though but few of them would
like to loose even the name of the Piepublic , and would like to retain that if they could not th » reality . For my own part , I should be more glad than otherwise , were the Empire to be at once proclaimed ; it would in no ways tend to uphold the power of Louis Bonaparte , and we would be spared the mournful spectacle of the cherished name of the democratic form of government being desecrated by that band of-infamous wretches , who have seized upon the material power of France .
I have received intelligence of anti-Haynau demonstrations , which were made at the Vauxhail at Brussels on Sunday night last . The Austrian tiger may well say , " Save me from my friends , " for had it not been for the exertions of his friend ( let the Belgian , people mark the friend of Haynau , ) General Chazal , to do hini honour , he might , through their disgust and scorn , have escaped the indignation of the people of Brussels . But tie sycophancy of the Belgian baron was too dishonourable to be borne , and they expressed their indignation in shouting ,
" Turn out the- woman-tlogger ! turn him out ! " One young woman , says my informant , loudly expressed her wish that she was a man , so that she might with her own hands revenge the crimes the monster has committed against humanity . _ 1 hope he will get even a warmer reception here . Such a wild beast should be destroyed , or driven from among civilized nations . The adjourned ball was given to the Dames de la Halle last Tuesday night , but Bonaparte did not attend to the great disgust of ' the fair merchants , who had procured , inmost instances , very elegant apparel for the occasion . soldiers whom
Pensions have been granted to 75 , among are Generals Changarnier and Bedeau , who are each to receive 6 , 000 fir . ¦ By a decree the electors of the 3 rd and 4 th conscriptions of Paris are convoked for the 26 th of Sept ., to choose deputies to the Corps Legislatif in the place of General Cavaignac and M . Carnot . M . Dupont de PEure , who had been elected member of the Council-General of the Eure by the inhabitants of Nonancourt , has sent in his resignation to the Prefect . The 'Debate says : — ' ¦
" We are informed that M . Druyn de Lhuys yesterday signed , with the Belgian Plenipotentiaries , a convention for the protection of literary nronerty . This is a measure the importance of which we need ' not enlarge upon . It is said that another contention , gran ting certain commercial advantages to Belgium , was signed at the same time . " It would undoubtedly be well if the infamous system of literary piracy carried on in Belgium could be put a stop to . I am sorry to know that a very large party in that kingdom are opposed to such a just step , and I know also that this party contains men whose political principles are a disavowal of selfishness , It is true thev have a right to demand advantages from France in return , which , I am given to understand , are by no
means granted by this new convention . A serious accident happened on the Strasbourg Railway a few days since . The train ran off the rails , struck against a bridge , and sixteen of the passengers were severely injured . Letters from the provinces this week state that a great portion of the crops and much other property has been destroyed by the late severe storms of wind and rain ; An English gentleman , named Hogg , has been sentenced to six months' imprisonment and 3 , 000 fr . fine for circulating here a political publication , entitled the Nouveau Bulletin Francois
BELGIUM . Another Eaynan demonstration—The Government and the Ardi-Bonapartist Press . While the . young Emperor of Austria has heen ostentatiously journeying through Hungary to demand the homage of its subjugated people , the discarded and forgotten Haynau who burned and bombarded his subjects . back to obedienee , iias been a wanderer in Belgium , where he has this week learned , somewhat unexpectedly , the popular estimate of his merits . On Sunday nine visited the
evening last , about a quarter to , Haynau Brussefs YanxhaU , where , as . usual , a concert was taking place . nine o ' clock , says the Echo , the marshal showed himself in garden , and was immediately surrounded by a-curious of about two hundred persons . His attitude , it was , had something theatrical about it .- It being apparent a demonstration was about to take place , General Chazal , Belgian service , who was in the garden , went up to the , and entered into conversation with him , hoping by pTesence to overawe the rising feeling . A few moments

passed and no manifestation took place , the crowd meanwhile increasing very rapidly . M . Singelee , the director of the gardens , caused the orchestra to play two favourite pieces , m the expectation that the attention of the crowd would be withdrawn from his uneasy guest ; buti n vain . Hisses were heard , then some very pointed observations were addressed ' , to Haynau on his share in the Hungarian war , while the majority of the ¦> multitude cried , " Turn him out , turn him out . " M . Chazal essayed to address the people and assuage the storm , but was not listened to , and the tumultuous excitement rose still higher . Meanwhile messengers had been sent to the police-station and barracks , and shortly the officers arrived , together with a file
of soldiers , A number of arrests took place , but the parties all being persons of character and position , were released immediately . After this , Haynau remained some little time at the concert , guarded by a knot of Belgian officers , and followed by the spectators in all his movements . As he returned fiMm the concert to his hotel , he was again hissed ,, and a number of uncomplimentary cries were heard , but no violence was practised , Notwithstanding-the decisions of the jury in the cases of the Bulletin Francois , " and the Nation , a pamphlet called Les Nuits < h . & -. blmiy wlwikm Gmvh has been seized by thfe . pofe at Brussels , on the . complaint of the _ French minister ; and a judicial prosecution has been commenced against the publishers .
Germany. Movements Of The Kaiser—Progres...
GERMANY . Movements of the Kaiser—Progress of Reaction in Prvssia—Ravages of Cholera in Warsaw and Silesia—Anti-Danish Demonstration in JSblstein . Austria . —The Emperor of Austria , left Vienna on the 17 th for Ischl . After a fortnight ' s stay at that watering place he will proceed to Pesth to attend some grand military manoeuvres , ancl , towards the end of September visit Croatia and Slavonia . " Prussia . —Dr . Franz , an energetic partisan of M . Von
Manteuffel , and lately appointed secretary at the foreign-office , published , a few clays ago , a political pamphlet , which was immediately confiscated by the police . The work probably proposed measures which , though in accordance with the wishes and intentions of the government , involve an infraction of the present constituted order of things , and are criminal , therefore , from the circumstance of anticipating by a few weeks the government ' s acts .
The deaths from cholera at Warsaw were upwards of two hundred on the 17 th instant , still * a very large proportion . Th ravages of the disease in the poorer districts of Upper Silesia and in the lowlands in West Prussia , at the mouth of the ' Vistula , are terrific ; villages are mentioned , where two-thirds of the inhabitants have been carried off . Several districts in the Crimea have been devastated by clouds
of locusts which have descended on the nearly ripe corn-fields . IIolstein —The Danish government has withdrawn a Holstein corps -from Eckernforde for service in Copenhagen ; and Altona is garrisoned by a body of Danish troops . The departure of the Holstein battalion from Eckernforde caused a demonstration , on the part of the inhabitants . No one was arrested , but . an order of the police forbids such displays for the future .
SWITZERLAND . Conclusion op the Leoislativb Session . —^ The Pope ' s Recruiters—Tub two legislative councils of the Swiss confederation composing the Federal Assembly concluded their session on the 18 th instant , and in the ordinary course of events will not meet again till January . The district tribunal of ' Sargans has condemned in a fine of 106- francs a man who has lately been recruiting for the Pope in the canton of St . Gall . He ; was arrested at Wallenstadt with his recruits . Another man has been fined 220 francs at Old Toggenburgfor the same offence .
ITALY . Robhery in the Roman States—Crimes of the Papal Government—Austrian Brutality—The Neapolitan State Trails . Rome . —The diligence from Viterbo to . R . ome . was . stopped and plundered by robbers on the 10 th .. inst . A man was shot on the 2 nd inst . at Fermo , for a political homicide , committed in August , 1849 . The execution of the four young men at Forli who vvere attacked by a band of armed
Sanfedisti in the same year , and in defending themselves , inflicted a-blow with a stone , from which one of the aggressors died , has excited public feeling in Romagna . Cardinal Falconieri , the bishop , an 4 the municipality , all recommended them , but in vain , to mercy . The sentence , of the Consulta tribunal condemned , them for having murdered , " with malice prepense , one of the friends of the government . ''
Naples . —The state trials continue to reveal the same perjury and injustice so frequently pointed out . They will probably finish within a month . The prisoners anticipate the galleys at least . Lombardy . —The Augsburgh Gazette contains a letter dated on the 8 th instant from . the " banks of the Po , which it appears that the Austrian authorities have been giving a fresh instance of their brutality ..
An Englishman was quietly sketching the picturesque Amphitheatre of the old city of the Montagues and Capulets , when he was accosted by an Austrian sentry , who commanded him to desist . Upon declining to comply with this . military prohibition- he was arrested and thrown into prison , where he was detained for several days . After his liberation , this martyr of the pencil was thrust unceremoniously out of the city , and conducted by Austrian gendarmes out of the territory , subjected to the mild sway of Marshal Radetsky . The Gazette , says that the Englishman called upon the commandment of the forces to apologize , to him , but that this demand wes refused . He then applied to the Earl of Westmoreland , at that moment at Venice , for redress .
Turkey. The News From The Turkish Capita...
TURKEY . The news from the Turkish capital is ' of great importance . The Grand Vizier , Eedschid Pasha , has resigned .. The Sultan ' s , brother-in-law , Achmet Fethi Pasha , the Pasha of Topnana ( Director-General of Artillery ) , has been dismissed . All Pasha has been appointed Redschid's successor . Faud Eftendi , who was in Egypt a short time since has received the vacant portfolio . The Pasha of Tophan ' a has been replaced by Redschid Mahomed Pasha who was before Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard . All these up and downs took place on the 6 th , in the evening . On the plea of not being well and . strong enough to bear the fatigue , Ali Pasha has only consented to accept the office of Grand Vizier for the moment The correspondent of the Oest Deutsche Post sees hi all this a concession made to Austria .

E $ QM : Q . UR QWN ( JO ^ SPONDEST . Ne , w- Y § m , August 11 th . . By electric telegraph I have just teceived an account of the doings of the friends of freedom in their convention at Pits , burgh , yesterday . I cannot better explain to you th & objects of the Friends of Freedom than by sending you the following resolutions which I extract from their Platform : — ° Unsolved , That Civil Government is an ordinance of God , and men are oiil - delegated agents to carry out righteous purposes , by righteous means m ? i whenever human lavs are opposed to God's will , such laws are null and \' oU and are not binding udq . il men either , mprally or politically .

That the Democratic and Whig parties have baselv bo \ mi th » knee to the dark spirit of Slavery , and there is no course left for the frieS ot liberty to pursue , but to refuse to co-operate with either tfto

Resolved , That the right of self-government by nations spring nccessarilr from the-doctrine of the right of the individual man to self-governme ! I that when tins right ot self-government is violated by unsolicited iuterven turn on the part of any nation , the true and only remedy for such invasion nf right is contravention by other nations , for the sake of non-intervention and that it is the duty of this Government to interfere by all peaceful ftiflu ' ences on behalf of the liberty of any nation struggling to be free from tho power of the oppressor .
I need hardly say that I heartily concur in the sentiments of this Free Soil Convention , regarding the abolition of slavery Until not only the fugitative slave law but slavery . itself be abolished , we cannot possibly be a moral nation . Regarding the second subject mentioned in the above extracts—the land I believe we want more than a Homestead Bill ,- that we want the nationalization of the land apropos , of this subject , an " indignation " meeting was held in the Military Hall , last night , when the following resolution was adopted : —
Resolved , That we hold an Indignation Gathering in the Park , at an early day , to express our disapprobation of the infamous course of the majority ot the recreant Land Committee of the present Congress in suppressing the Homestead Bill , after receiving the sanction of the House of Representatives and sustained by the universal voice of the people . I had just , begun to get the stench of those infernal Newfoundland fish from my mental nostrils , when they were suddenly assailed by that of guano . It seems we are to have another row upon this savoury subject . You may : gather the particulars of the threatened dispute from the folio wing document : Department of State Washington , 5 th , June , 1 S 32 . Capt . Jam . es C . Jevrett , Master of the bark Philomela ;
Sir , ~ I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 2 nd instant inquiring whether citizens of the United States can take guano from the Lobos Islands , which are situated near the coast of Peru , without . infrin < nn < r upon the rights of the citizens or subjects , or government of any other nation ! In reply , I have to inronn you , that if those islands should lie within the distance of a marine league from the continent , or , if being further than that distance , should ' have been discovered and occupied by Spain or by Pern , the
Peruvian government would have right to exclude therefrom the vessels and citizens of other nations , except upon such conditions as it may think proper to prescribe . There can be no doubt that the title of Peru to the Ghineha Islands , whence , guano is now chiefly taken , is founded upon the basis of discovery ancl occupancy . That article was taken from those islands , and used as a manure by the Peruvians anterior to the conquest of Peru by Spain . It continued to be so taken and used throughout the Spanish dominions in that country , and this practice has been kept up to the present day .
Although those islands are uninhabitable , the custom of resorting to them from the neighbouring continent , for the purpose of procuring guano , may be said to have constituted such au occupancy of them as to give the sovereign of the continent a right of dominion over them under the law of nations . This department , however , is not aware that the Lobos islands were eithftv discovered or occupied by Spain , or by Peru , or that the guano on them has ever been used for manure on the adjacent coast or elsewhere . It is certain that the distance from the continent is five or six times greater than is necessary to make them a dependency thereof , pursuant to public law .
On the other hand , it is quite probable that Benjamin Morrell , junior , lrlip , as master of the . schooner Wasp , of New York , visited those islands in September , 1823 , may justly claim to have been their discoverer . Ho gives a full account of theni in his narrative , published in New York in . 1832 . " Under these circumstances , it may be considered the duty of the government to protect citizens of the United States , who may visit the Lobos islands for the purpose of obtaining guano . This duty will be more apparent , when it is considered that the consumers of Chincha island guano in this country miglit
probably obtain it for half tho price they now pay , were it not for the charges of the Peruvian government . I shall consequently communicate a copy of that letter to the Secretary of the Navy , and suggest that a vessel ohvarfco ordered to repair to the Lobos islands , for the purpose of protecting from molestation any of our citizens who may wish to take guano from them . i am , Sir , very respectfully , your obedient Servant , ( Signed ) DANIEL "WEBSTER P . S . —It is considered important that this letter should not be made public
at present . The Kaine extradition case is not settled yet . Judge Nelson has decided that the case of Thomas Kaine can he taken , for review , before the Supreme Court of the United States , on the grounds as to the power of Commissioner Bridgliam to Mi as Magistrate under the Treaty--the sufficiency of the app hcation ( made by the Consul ) for his Extradition---and as to the sufficiency of proof of the original complaint in Ireland , an the standing of the magistrate taking it . A- writ of Ha ! tf flS Corpus has been issued pro forma ,. returnable before W Nelson at Cooperstown to-day , ( Kaine himself will not be required to go , ) and the case will be certified , thence , to tlio
Supreme Court . ' , It is reported here that Mr . Webster has had a quarrel jvit ' the President , and has determined to retire from the Cabn ^ but I cannot answer for the truth of the report . # , Thomas Francis Meagher , the eloquent . Irish patriot , n * j . determined to this hated monarchy and become a citizen ot t »• Republic . The day before yesterday he made a formal d # ' ration to one of the judges of the Superior Court of his rot * tion of becoming a citizen of the United States . The follow is the form of the oath to which he subscribed : — y I , Thomas Francis Meagher , do declare on oath that it # j horn-fide , intention to become a citizen of the United States *^ to renounce for ever all allegiance and fidelity to any w ° prince ,, potentate , or sovereignty whatever , and particular ^ the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland , of whom I am » °
