Tho Eurnpa brings intelligence of the iletith of tlio c:l-i-bfated Kobcit Uwon, in liis 8itli year.

When IS years old he become partnci' in u cotton l'aetoiy, into which ArUw liglit's tiiachinciy hadju.--t been in troduced : nftenvurds fftabli.hed the Charlton Mill, tieu:' Manchester, and after conducting that concern for some years, undertook the fntnou. speculation at N'ew Loiuik, in Scotland, where he and his partners had the management of nulla and a liirin of one hundred and fifty acres, and a population of two thousand prisms. Mr. Owen was at the heml of this enter prise for n quarter of a century, expended great gums of money, was visited by prin ces, clergy, and the curious from all coun tries, wrote elaborate treatises on the ben efits of a Government like that of New. Lanark, which did away w ith punishment and tho terrors of the penal law, and dili gently disseminated his peculiar doctrines. In ho essayed to introduce his theo ry of Government in Mexico, but was un successful, lie afterwards attempted to establish a "New Moral Community," which failed; started a "Labor Exchange Bazaar," w hich also met a sudden end : and in 1S57, urged his claims to a seat in lii'!'ument, in ivhich effort ho likewise fuileii. Owen made several visits to tho United Si:tos, the last of them hnv ing occurred some ten years Ago, While here he received marked attention from the social reformers, and omitted no op portunity to bring his theories I .ofore the public. Mr. Owen wa very onthttid.Uitic in his devotion to schemes of social reorganiza tion ; was an avowed free-thinker ; had n faculty of fixing the attention of his hear ers when ho spoke; wrote with facility; was a man .of impressive presence, and had ln:iny warm admirers.

"EXCELSIOR." CLKAKFIKLl). PA. WEDNESDAY, DECEMHEll 22, loT PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE ( Concluded from last week.) The executive government of this couti. try, in its intercourse with foreign im'.ions, is limited to the employment of diplomacy alone. When this fails, it can proceed no further. It cannot legitimately resort to force, without the direct authority of Congress, except in resisting and repelling hostilo attacks. It would have no au thority to enter tho territories of of Nicar agua, even to prevent tho destruction of the transit, und protect the lives ami property of our own citizens on their pas sage, it is true, that on a sudden emer gency of this character, tho President would direct any armed force in the vicin to march to their relief j but in doing this ho would act upon his own responsibili ty. Under these circumstances I earnestly reccommend to Congress the piissngo oTan act authorizing tho President, under such restrictions as they may deem proper, to employ the land and naval forces of the United States in preventing the transit from being obstructed or closed by lawless violence, and in protecting tho lives and property of American eitizens theroupon, requiring at the same time that these for ces shall be withdrawn tho moment tho danger shall have passed awuy. Without such a provision our citizens will bo con stantly exposed to interruption in their progress, and to lawless violence, A similar neccessity exists for tho pas sage of sucli an act, for tho protection of the Panama and Tehuantepec route. In reference to the Panama route the United States, by their existing treuty with New Granada, expressly guarantee the neutrality of the Isthmus, "with the view that the free transit from the one to the other sea may not be interrupted of embarr:issed in any future time w hile this treaty exists. In regard to the Tehuantepec route, w hich has been recently opened under the most favorable auspices, our treaty with Mexico of tl.e "Uth December, lHou, se cures Ihc U.iited States a right'of transit o ver for their persons and merchandize, and stipulates that neither government .-hall "interpese any obstacle" thereto. It a!;.o concedes to llie United States the "right to transport across the Istlinris. in closed bags the mails of the. United Slates not intended for distribution along the line of the communication ; abo, tho clTectsul'the Unitod States government and its citizens which may bo intended for transit, and not for distribution on the Isthmus, free of custom house or other charges by the Mexican government. These treaty stipulations with New Gran ada and Mefico, m addition to thoconsid cratians applicable to tho Niiur.igua rout'1, seem to requite legislation for the purposu of carrying them into etlucl. Tho injuries which have been inflicted upon our citizens in Costa Pica and Nicar agua, during the lat two or tli roe years, have received prompt attention of this government. Some of these injuries were of tho most aggravated c' aracter. The transaction of Virgin Hay in April, 1.S5I5, when a company of unarmed Americans, who were in no wny connected with any belligerent conduct or party, were lired upon by the troops of Costa Rica, and numbers ot them killed and wounded, was brought to the knowcldge of Con cres bv inv iredeees.)r toon alter its oc currence, and was also presented to the government of Costa Rica, for that imme diate investigation and redress which the nature of the cuse demanded. A similar emirso was pursued with reference to oth er outrages in these countries, some of which were hardly less aggravated in their character thon tho transaction at Vigiu Hay. At the time, however, when our present minister to Nicaragua w as appoint ed, in December, 18j7, no redress had been obtained for any of these wrong-, and no reply even had been received to the demands which had been made by this government upon that of the Costa Rica, I more than a year before. Our minister j was instructed, therefore, to lose no lining in expressing to those goverments the' deep regret with which the President had ' witnesst.:! this inatcntio.i to the pist elainu of the United States and in d! mantling their prompt and satisfactory adjustment. Unless this demand shall bo complied with at an early day, it will only remain for th!s government to adopt such other measures as mav be necessary, in or der to obtain for itself that justice which it had in vain attempted to secure by peaceful means, from the governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica. While it hns shown, and will continue to show, tho most sincere regard for the rights and hon or of these republics, it cannot permit this regard to be met by nn utter neglect, on their part, of what is due to tho gov eminent and citizeus of tho United Slates. Aeainst New Granada wo havo long 'slr.ding cause of complaint, arising out of the unsatisfied claims ol our citizens upod thut ropublie, and to theso have been more recently added tho outrage com mitted upon eur citizens at Panamu in A pril IK,r. A treaty lor the adjustment of theso diflioulties was concluded the Secre tary of .Statu and the minister of New Gra nada, in September, 1H57, which contain- ( eiljust an acceptable provision for tljat ( purpose- This trety was transmitted to RogoU nnd was ratified by the govern tnent of New Gi'unadii, but with certain nnujiKhneits. It was not, however, returned to this city until nftet the close of tho last session of the Senate. It will be immediately trans mitted tc that body for their advico and consent, and should this bo obtained, it will removo all our existing causes of com plaint against New Granada on the subject of claim. Questions have arisin between tho two governments as to tho right of New Gra nada to levy a tonnago duty upon tho ves :ol, ff th United Stuti... in it Port., of - - ,, . . . . tho Isthmus, and to levy a passenger flax upon our citizens arriving in that country, whether with a design to remain there.or to pass from ocean to ocean by the trun.it route; and also a tax upon tho mail of the Ltntod States transported over the Puna- maruilroad. The government ofNew Ora-! nana niw uen inlormed that the United States would consider tho collection of ei ther of theso taxes as an net in violation o( tho treaty between tho two countries and as such would be resisted be tho UuitcJ States. At the samo time, wo are prepared to discuss these questions in n spirit of amity and justice, and with a sincere desire to adjust them in a satisfactory manner. V negotiation for that purposo has already been commenced. No cllbrt has recently been made to collect these taxes tioi- - any anticipated under present circumstan ces. With tho empire of Rnuil our relations ! aroof tho most friendly character. The productions of the two countries, and es pecially those of an agricultural nature, are such as to invite extensive mutual ex changes. A largo quantity of Americun Hour is consumed in Urazil, whilst more ! than treble tho amount in valuo of lhazil-' ian coffee is consumed in the L'nited ' States. Whilst this is the case, a heavy duly I has levied, until very recently, upon the importation of American flotir'ilito lirazil. I I am gratified, however, to bo able to in-' form you that in September last this has ; uecn reduced lioui SI, to tibont forty nine cents per barrel, and the duties on Other nrtseh'K Atle ni'i-iililntiiinc lm, l.or.i, 1 diminished in nearly the sumo proportion. I regret to state that the government of Brazil still continues to levy an export duty of about 11 per cent, on coll'ee, not withstanding this article is admitted free , from duty in the Unildd States. This i a heavy charge upon tho consumers of euf-1 fee in our country, as rle purchase halt' of ! the entire surplus crop of t!iat article raw ed in lirazil. Our minister, under instrue-1 lions, will reiterate his efforts to have thu I export duty removed; and it is Loped, that thecnlightcnedgovernnieiitoftho Em peror will adopt this wise, just, and enuul policy. In that event, there ii good rea son to believe thct the commerce between tho two countries will greatly increase, much to the advautad of both. The claims of our citizens against the government of lirazil are not, in the ag gregate, of very large uinount ; but some of these rest upon plain principles of jus tice flnel tlicif settlement ought not to be delayed. A renewed and carnci-t, mid 1 trust a successful effort, will be ma le by our minister to procure their liual adjust ment. On the 2d of June last, Cuiigross passed a joint resolution authorizing the Presi dent "to adopt such measures and use such force iu, in his judgment, may be neecestary and a IvisaMo" "fur tho pur-' pose of adjusting the dihVrouces between (he United States und tho republic of Paraguay, in connexion with theattaek on the United States tteamer Water Witch, and with other measures refened to" in his annual message. And on the 1-th Ju ly following, they made an appropriation to defray tho expensos and compensa tion of a commissioner to that republic, should the President deem it proper to make such an appointment. Incompliance with theso enactments, I have appointed a commissioner, who has proceeded to Paraguay, with lull powers and instructions to settle these dillcreiiccs in an amicable and peaceful manner, if this bo practicable. His experience and discretion justify the hope, that he may prove successful in convincing the Para guayan government, that it is duo both to honor and justice, that they should volun tarily and pronuly make atonement for the wrongs which theyhivo com lilted against the United States, and indemnify our injured citizens whom they have lor I'ibly despoiled of their property. Should our eommis-ioiii'i' prove unsuc cessful, after a sinceie and earnest effort, to accomplish the object of his mission, then n alternative will remain, but the employment offeree to obtain "just satis faction'' from Paraguay. In view of this contingeiiev, the Secretary of the Navy, under my direction, ha fitted out and des patched a naval force, to rendezvous near liuenos Ayers, which, it is believed, w ill prove sulliejeiil for tho occasion. Jt is niv t-arnest uoIt" however, that it may n;,'i r.e found necessary to resort to thi lat alternative. When Congress met in December last, the lusiness of the country had just been crushed, by one of thoso periodical revul sions, which are the inevitable consequence of our unsound and extravagant system of bank credits and inflated currency. With all the elements of national wealth in a buiidnncc, our manufactures were suspend ed, our useful public and private enter prises wero arrested, and thousand of la borers were deprived of employment and reduced to want. Universal distress pre vailed among tho commercial classes. This revolution was felt more severely in the United States, because similar causes had produced the liko ileplorablo effects throughout tho commercial nations of Europe. All were inexperienced sad re verses at the same moment. Our manu facturers everywhere fluttered severely not bsnuso of the recent reduction in the tar iff of duties on imports, but because there was no demand nt any price for their pro duetions. The ptople were obliged to re strict themselves, in their purchase", to articles of prime necessity. In the gener al prostration of business, the iron manu facturer in different States probably suffer ed nioro than any other class, and much destitution tva the inevitable conso quence, among (lie great number of work men who hal been employed in this use ful branch of our industry. I'hero could be no supply wero there was no demand. To present an example, there could be no dcaaud for railroad irou,. iftfr our gnilicont system of railroads, cxtendinir its benefit to everv oortinn nftlin T!tii luut been brought to a dead pause. The 1, . . . . 1 same consequence) have resulted from similar causes to many other branches of Useful manufactures." It is self-evident that were there is no ability to purchase manufactured articles, these fcaiinol he boid, nnd consequently must cease to be produced. no government, nnd especially a eov- eminent of such limited powers as that of the United States, could nnvo prevented luiu jv.uiaiuii, inn uoie comnier ciid world seemed for years to have been runhing to this catasiropoe. The same ruinom . consequences would have followed 111 tho United Stftt is, whether tho duties upon foreign imports mid remained tin they were under the tariff of 18Iii, or had beeu raised to a much higher standard. The tui ill'of 1807 had no agency in the re sult. The general causes existing through out the world, could not have been con trolled by the legislation of any particular country. Tho periodical revulsions which have existed in our past history, must continue to return nt intervals, so long as our pres ent unbounded system of bank credits shall prevail. They will, however, proba bly bj less severe in future; because it is not to bo expected, at least for ninny years to come, thut the commercial nations of Europe, with whose interests our own are so materially involved, will expose them-j selves to similar calamities. Put this sub- ject was treated so much nt largo in mv nui mat uuuu.n message mat l man not now'eu. I pursue it further. Still, I respectfully re new the recommendation, in favor of the passage of a uniform bankrupt law, appli cable to banking institutions. This is nil tho direct power over the subject which, I believe the federal government possesses. Such a law would mi'igate. though it might not prevent the evil. The instinct of self-preservation might produce a holesomo restraint upon their banking business, if they knew in advance, that n suspension of specie payments would inev itably produce their civil death. Put the effects of the revulsion nro now slowly but surely passing away. The en ergy nnd enterprise of our citizens, w ith our unbounded resources, will, within the 1 orind 'of another year, restoro a state of wholesome industry nnd trade. Capita! liAsajnin accumttlutecl in our largo cities. The rate of interest is there very lew. Confidence is gradually reviving, and so soon as it i discovered that this capital can bo profit ibly employed iu commercial and manufacturing enterprises, nnd in tie construction of railroads and other works of public, and private improvement,-prosperity will again smile throughout the land, ll U vain, however, to disguise the fact fiom ouisclvos that ft speculative in tlati n of our currency, w ithout, a corres ponding inflation iu other countries w hoso manufactures come into copctitiou with our own, must over produce disastrous re sults to our domestic lnanfaotures. No tariff, short of absolute prohibition, can prevent these evil consequenses.1 In connexion with this subject, it is proper to refer to our financial condion. Tho cause! which have produced pecuni ary distress throughout the country, huve so reduced tho amount of imports from foreign countries, that tho revenue has proved inadequate lo meet the necessary expense of the government. To supply the deficiency, Congress, by the act of the 2.'5 d of Deecmbir. 1S."7, authorized the is' sue of S2tl,0ll(l,0ijll of treasury notes; and, this proving inadequate, they authorized by tho act of Juno 14th, 18"S, a loan of s2l,l'()i,0tHl, " to 1! applied to the pay ment of appropriations made by law." No statesman "would advise, that wo should go 011 increasing the national debt to meet tho ordinary expenses of the gov ernment. This would bo a most ruinous policy. In case of war. our credit must bo our chief resource, -it least for tho first year, and this would bo greatly impaired by having contracted a largo debt in time of peace. It is our true policy, to increase our revenue so as to equal our expendi tures. It would bo ruinous to continue to borrow. Resides, it may bo proper to oh- M'rve. I it .nt the incidental protection, thus adoi'do'l by a revenue tantt, would nt tho present moment, to sorao e.t?ut, increas... the confl Joneo of the manufacturing inter- ests, ami give a fresh impulse to our re viving business. To this, surely no per son will object. In regard to the mode of assessing and collecting duties under u strictly rrveeit" tariff, I have long entertained nnd often expressed the opinion, that sound policy requires this should bo elono by speefie duties, in cases lo which theso can be prop erly applied. They arc well adapted to commodities which nro usually sold by weight or measure, and wincn irom tneir nature, nro of oqual or of nearly equal vnl-1 ue. Such, for example, are the articles nf iron of dfferent classes, raw sugar, nnd in' . . . a. 1 1 foreign wines and spirits. In my deliber ate judgement, specific clutios are tho best if not the only means of securing tho rev enue nginst false nnd fraudulent invoices, anil such has boon the jiractico adopted for this purpose by other commercial nations. Beside:,-, specific duties would til the Ami'iean manufacturer the incidental a.!' vantages to which he is fairly entitled un der revenue tariitl. Tho present system is a sliding seudo to his disadvantage. Un dor it when prices are high and business prosperous, tho . duties riso in amount when he least requires their aid. On the contrary, when prices fall, and he isstrug. gling Against adversity, the duties aredi minshed in tho samo proportion, greaty to his injury. Neither would there be danger that a hiiher rate of duty than thai intended bv Congress, could bo levied in th form of speciac duties.
