Report of the Post Master General* We Have received the report of the Post Master .■/General,sotting forth very clearly and fully the ope and conditions of the Department, and con* . gaining many very important suggestions and recoin? ■ mehdaUons. Among the most prominent recommcn* are these:—To make the rale, of postage unlfolrin . ror Idler. at 5 cent. llio lialf ounce; for .-newspapers at 1 cent the ounce; for periodicals, 2 cents'the ounce; and for foreign letters 15 cents the half ounce; the total abolition of tho franking privil ege; the pre-payment of all mall matter, dec. The "Report.ids very able one, and -contains, aa we aaid, many wholesome suggestions;—but wo cannot see Why it U that Mr* Johnston *l9 so obstinately in favor V.nf. Using newspapers* Tho press, and the people have; in a voice approaching unanimity, asked that , 'newspapers be permitted to bo carried free of postage jo ,apy pari of the county in which they are publish ed; and yet in the face of this the Post Master Gene- V'raJfecommeDds that newspapers pay a postage of “I'ciht lho ounce!'* He recommends a reduction - lb>tler postage. This will suit the.wishcs of wealthy men—men of business—but will be of very little ad •• vantage to the poor man. Tims is it 100 often, that the prayer«f the nabob is listened to with respect, end granted, when at tho same lime tho prayers of the masses are entirely disregarded. Wo do hope -‘that the good sense of members of Congress will in vitee Man to pass a bill abolishing that part of the present law requiring postage for newspapers. By dblngso (hey will but grant (he prayer of the people. If the Post Master General is sincere in desiring a bfceap rate of postage, he cannot and will not oppose thepasssgo.of such a law. But, whether ho opposes •it or. not, the member of Congrcia who desires the respecland confidence of his constituents will not dare oppose'it. Judicial Appointments* .

The facts elated ard so triumphant—the results proved'by the figures aro so astounding—that the reader is fre quently called upon to ask himself whether, indeed, all these events have transpired within less than (he four years which began on tho 4th of March, 1845? It is as If some magio power brought before our eyes, in startling review, the whole of bur great country, as it existed when the present administration began, only to compare it With the still more startling spec tacle which that country now exhibits, with thousands of miles added to its boundaries, millions of acres to its soil, new harbors and rivers to its waters, new wealth to. its unlimited resources, new fame to its history, and new glory to Its flag !. It is as If the magio creations of a night had again been enacted —this lime not by (he weird agency of the.fubled lamp, but through the Influence of that courage which crushes all obstacles, of that progreat which overleaps til space v df that civilization! which rolls back.lho clouds of anarchy and.'of superstition, and of that Democracy which shrinks not and falters not in tho performance of Us high and holy mission. ’ To enjoy this exhibition. profitably—to read this.impressive lesson—-to store away, this graphic history, of the greatness and advancement of the republic—all re quires great patience and profound deliberation.— \Vq have therefore deferred our own comments upon tho Message of Mr. Polk, until oiir readers had formed opinions of it for themselves. To sa y that (ho facts of tho Message are triumphant facts—facts that vindicate (he administration against all opposition—facts that realize the predictions of the Democracy—to say this, is to say what will not be denied; but it is not to say all. The great (rail of (bis resume of tho acts of tho government since March, 1845, is (bat it leaves no one thing which has not been fully carried out, or subjected to'failure or defeat Wo do not except.the slavery question, because that Is an issue which ban only be settled when both the great parties of tho day see that (be Democratic policy in rcgaid tq il ls correct. It is an issue which has been thus far kept open owing (0 matters over which tho existing administrate has had little or no control. And yet there is.no division of tho Message of the President which is clearer or more patriotic than its suggestions upon the adjust ment ofthi# difficulty. They are indeed among the most triumphant parts of the phper. and cannot fail to be responded to effectively before tho present ses sion is terminated. We will not attempt to condense the important 1 points of this noble, radical Democratic Message.— From the. first to tho lost, it is itself luminous and convincing—inviting to perusal by its easy'slylc, challenging antagonism by Us facts and figures, and asking for criticism by tho apparent mastery of the whole subject upon which its distinguished author has treated. No : American will restrain his feelings, of exultation while reading it. If he has feared that the war would annex to us a valueless territory, ho secs, with pride, that his fear was groundless. If he lias apprehended (hat the war would plunge us.in si sea of debt, ho sees how skilfully we have been pi*i lolled into safety by a wise and fearless financial policy. : If he has looked at Hie Independent Tree* snry as to the fetter ihat was to muzzle Commerce, he may now percojvo that Ilia the great check which first prevented expansions, and next defeated tho policy (bat would have led to irremediable disasters. | Even the Tariff, upon which it has been so faslilona. ble to blame, everything, has ,5n the general trium phantly vindicated the great causes which led to its creation; and manufactures, it la now more than probable, have suffered lest under the present revenue policy than they could have suffered under the system which it superseded—the. same causes existing to produce confusion in the old world. If (he reader of the Message la one of* that large class of mistaken bat honest citizens, who have believed that the per | pcluity of the Union—il« peace at home and its rep- I utation abroad—required that no territory should be added to our already ample domains—ho will see,; even as the last soldier loaves tho soil of Mexico, (hot i not only has the war given us territory to extend oar borders, but territory that is necessary to ourselves I and (ot/. ,Q world, in (he promotion of peace in all time to come:—for, as Commerce pours into our rivers and through oar States—as (ho trade cf the world seeks and finds our shores, through tho avenues recently opened upon our Pacific coast—Liberty is thrice secure, and Peace becomes more than ever (he I essential clement of institution* which resort to war only when their vitality is assailed by the enemies [of Freedom. Ho may sec (and believe as he secs,) that the country which, a few years ago, had 14 (ho Mississippi for its frontier’ 1 and now 41 for its cen. Ire,”—and yet, during Its whole expansion, has pro. gresied to greatness in all (ho peaceful arts, as well i as in tho science of arms—cannot bo made the prey i Ito tho calamities he has lately so gloomily anliclpa- i 1 tod. But if this American olllxen is a Democrat, how unutterably rejoiced ho will feel at an exhibition ] [which, coming Ttflcr defeat at the ballot boxes, Is a new assurance that our recent reverse was the cause, more of attachment to the soldier than of opposition to Democracy, its measure, or its men. Wo will not assail tho popular intelligence so grossly as to believe that the vote for General Taylor was a vote against the system which the results, as eloquently explained and illustrated in the Message under review, have so magnificently vindicated, In all its parts, from the first to the last of the projects originated and con aummated by the present administration. Amid prevailing doubts as to tho course of the incoming Dynasty—amid (ho fears of the honest Democracy of flie Union that we are to hove a revi val of the worst excesses of Federal mtarulo—tho Democratic r artt or the Union will hoi! the Message of Mr. Pout as the welcome ami unanswerable proof that It Is only by Democratic frinciplbs that this COUNTRY CAN BE HAPPILY AND ■UCCESBfUU.Y GOVERNED. Its profound truths—Us eloquent reflections—Us un deniable facts—will go out among the masses, to en liven Che discussions at the domestic hearth—to awaken enthusiasm at neighborhood, gatherings— •nd to lay the foundation for that triumph qf tlio right which is sure to come at last, and to oome soon. They will go oul—they hate gone out—as the peace ful but resistless conquerors of error, and (he ever living warnings against the dangers of Federalism, no matter what guise it may assume.

THE CONTINENTAL DISTURBANCES. ; The intelligence from the continent Übf dnTft ■ poitantond alarming character. In the.face of Ihe j recent: trouble in Berlin, the revolution before that oily, end with the experience of the French revolu tion'before him, the imbecile and sanguinary despot of Austria has characterized his success by the most atrocious and cold blooded murders... In Vienna the defenceless citizens are shot dead without ceremony* their houses rifled and even ! women rind children massacred. .The Students of the University, who used almost superhuinan exertions in defence of the sity, aro hurled down like- wild beasts, and executed when captured. " If any thing were wanting to urge Ihe. poople of -Berlin,Frankfort, Breslau, and other places to" revolt, Ferdinand of -Austria has, fearfully supplied it, VVe should not’ wonder to KoWiniclll* gonoeat ho distant day that theso acts have raised a flame which neither regal nor imperial despotism will he able (0. extinguish. i; 1 The King of Prussia having cautiously waited the termination of tho siege of Vienna, appears.anxious' to follow in the footsteps of the Austrian emperor.*— Annexed are the details oftho Intelligence from Ber* ,lin, which is ,of the highest importance. . . < - Tho King arid the Prussian Assembly are at issue; and military preparations have' been made to quell any attempt'that may bo made by the populace to rise in favor of the latter. Up'to the moment that the National Assembly adjourned, On the afternoon oftho Blh inst.,tho fbrmallonof thedabihet was.ap* patently undecided, and tho •expectation was enter* tained that Colint Brandenburg would either be com* polled to renounce the task olforming tho compost*, tion of the Ministry, or that ho would endeavor to strengthen himself by tho selection of supporters from among the members of the chamber. The King, howevor; it appears, adheres to his resolution of excludtng lha members of tho chamber from the administration and tho courti* Brandenburg consented to bravo the storm, and on the Olharrivedat the National Assembly with , de crees signed by the King, transferring the sitting of the Assembly from Berlin to Brandenburg. At a I subsequent meeting of the Assembly it ,wns decided that the House should declare itself en permanence, and resolutions passed, declaring that In the event of attempts being made to dislodge the Chamber from its present place of meeting, that the President should have the same Validity, a* though the Houses had not been prorogued. . 'tho result of the first resolution was that the President declared that ho and tho offi* cere would remain at their, post attended by the members.' The chamber remained on permanence the whole night, and a large detachment oPthe Burg her guard, composed almost exclusively of the Rifles, occupied the interior of the building to protect the 1 members. The President of the Ministry informed the Assembly that such proceedings would bo illegal and mill and void. The President also informed the Assembly that an order had been issued by the chief oftho police to the commander of the Burgher Guardi requiring that the Guard should prevent the contin* .nation of tho National Assembly, by occuping the building and not permitting any member to pass ex cepting those who left tho Assembly. The comman der of the Guard declined obeying this-summons, as ho considered the removal of the National Assembly from Berlin as a measure calculated to endanger the rights and liberties of the people,- which the Guard felt itself bound (b protect, In consequence of this declaration, the chief of the police issued a procUu motion staling .that as.tho Burgher Guard had rofu sed to execute the order given for diasoivingtho Na tional Asaomly, ho had been directed to make known that the Government of'his Majesty the King had resolved td call into requisition the troops of the line for the purpose of executing that order. The troops in tfio capital would therefore receive reinforcements sufficient to execute the foyal command. Tho effect of this proclamation was a kind of a panic; which ran with rapidity throughout' the city the, same in. slant it becamo known, and immediately tho alarm sounded, calling the oitizeiis togelhcr'in every quar ter of the.city.. The, Burgher Guard, of which sov* oral battalions were drawn up. before. the National Assembly, resolved not to offer resistance (o the mill tary of the line, but, if possible, to avoid a collision, which would bo attended with serious consbqenccs. Towards afternoon about 15,000 men, infantry and Germans, entered the city with a largo park of artil lery, and were posted at various places, chiefly near life Gen. Wrangle, st tho head ofbis staff/entered the square and sent his chief of staff to wait Upon the President to communicate to him and the deputies sitting en permanence , that his orders were to close the Hall of Assembly, and to cause it- to bo evacua ted,* which was done under tho protest bf the Aesem- bly. ' On tho 7th the King Issued a proclamation* dissbl* vlng the Burgher Guard, and the* city was'dcclared in a state of siege. No pcVeons were allowed to form gatherings on the streets— I ’no meetings were permit* tod—no placards allowed to bo published—the Olubs ordered to bo closed, andall arms to bo delivered up, Tho Constituent Assembly met in Schallzen’s house at 3 o'clock, and rc’dcotcd Untop os their President. Tho Burgher Guard oUo'met and rbsolv* ed not to yield or give up their arms. Meanwhile the period named for delivering up arms and dissol. ring the civic guards, was delayed 24 hours, and would remain open until sunset on thb 13th, when measures would bo taken to compel them, should they not obey. During thu day thd whole of the garrison were under arms, the Palace being occupied by two baU lalions of guards, while tho force in tho Arsenal had been Increased, aslikewiso the principal gates. . Gen. Wrangcl had his head quarters in the Palace. ' Tho gates were closed and tho soldiers furnished with three days provisions a good Wpjily oT carlidgcs. Tho whole of the streets loading from Schullzcrt'; house, were occupied by bodies of armed men ready for (ho fight. Towards evening (he streets became somewhat.clearer. It was evidently not the inten aion of tho leaders of (ho movement to . commence hosliiitics. ■, The Erpariache Volkt Halle says, intelligence re ceived at Berlin on the ,11th, by telegraph, slates that Breslau was in a slate of.insurrection. The palace of Count Von Broadonwund had been burned down. This was considered untrue by the Cologne Gozoltee, ; I The Communal,council of Colongo had soot, an address to the National Assembly at Berlin, declaring that, the King had no right to adjourcPor dissolve.tho Diet without its.consent.- , , ; . Up , to .the evening nf lho ;l3th though nn actual collision had taken place, in Berlin, the utmost ex* citement prevailed. Gen. Wrangcl had extended tho I time allowed to the Burgher Guard (o'deliver up their arms, and there was some indication that (ho government shrank from tho adoption of rigorous measures. Tho people maintained a system of pas slvo resistance, No arrest had taken place. The troops wore becoming wearied by incessant duly,— All the placards were torn down by tho military ex ■ cept. one, which was an address to the citizens urging them to wait patiently for the decision of tho Pro* vlncos, and should they pot fly in arms to the assls. lance of the Capitol, recommending to the people not 1 (o risk the blood and property of 40,000 Inhabitants ’ of Berlin, for 15,000 ungrateful Provinclalisls. When the last accounts wore leaving Berlin, a proclamation had just been Issued by ilia town com mandanl, declaring that in consequence of the (Here, sard paid by tho people to the proclamation of Gen. Wrangcl, and tho insults .offered to the troops, notwithstanding thoir forbearance, the military should at odco fire upon persons who attempted resistance or persisted in assembling, after being summoned to ’ withdraw* Gen. Wrangcl has under h|s command In Berlin, men and 64,H01d pieces. The last news from Vienna announced Its capitula. I ” tion, and tho entrance of tho imperial troops. The number of killed during tho siogo was 6600; tho greatest loss was bn the side of thu imperialists. Marshal Weldor had been appointed Governor of Vienna, and Prince WlmUschgratx Is to command (ho army against Hungary. Some military execu tions have taken place. Tho moot Raison is to bo . hanged.
