European Politics—The Aims ofiouis
Napoleon.
The proposod terms of the peace by which
the wav In Italy was suddenly and unexpected
ly terminated continue to he bitterly denounced'
by the English newspapers, by Jlazmni, by many
of the Italians, Hungarians; and Fronchmen,
arid Louis Nai'Oleon is soundly rated for the
non-fulfilment of his promise to liberate all Italy
from the dominion of Ausjria. Whatever of
good ho has dono is lost night of in tho clamor
i against his fltiiurc to redcom all Ids plcdgos.
ilf any oho had predicted, one year ago, that
Louis Napolkok would nccomplisli in Italy
| what ho has niroady accomplished—that lib
I would destroy'the#restigo. of; Austria, compel
: her to surrender Lombardy to Piedmont, and
to hold Yettetia only as a dependency of ail Ita
lian, Confederation —ho would have been de
nounced as, a visionary;. /When .the warning
■was given to Baron Heuner, the Austrian Am
bassador, at tho Tnileries, on New Year’s day,
all.that France apparently desired was that
Austrian aggressions in Italy should be
checked, and • that' the Italian Governments
under Austrian influence should tie liberalized.
Certainly,these objects lmve been most effectu
ally'accomplished.'
: TVoregret deeply that all Italy has not, been
freedd-that Naooi.eos’b promises have not
been fullykept—-butwe cannot think it strange,
alter France had expended hundreds of mil
lions of! dollars and the lives of thousands of
her bravest sons in behalf of the Italian cause,
Hint .heir ruler should embrace a favorable
opportunity for closing a contest in which, if
it had been protracted; he was threatened
with tho active hostility of aU Germany,
and in which his nation had ceased to have'
a direct interests for .it must be remem
bered that the war only became a necessity to
Franco Wiien Austria, by invading Piedmont,
threatened French security, and that all danger
from this source was fully destroyed by tho
surrender of Lombardy to Piedmont. The
dissatisfaction with Louis Napoleok, therefore,
does not proceed from his failure to protect
any French interests involved in tho contro
versy, but from the fact that the brilliant sue-,
cesses which marked the campaign in Italy ex
cited extraordinary hopes which he lias failed
to gratify. ,
. What his real ebjects were in tho war—why
ho was so prompt in commencing, energetic in
conducting, and sudden in concluding it—no
ono can ’iiiliy explain: If ho sought only for
vengeance’ against Austria, on account of tho
want of 1 rospecther representatives had shown
to him, and her ancient hostility to liis race,
he has accomplished his object. If ho sought
for military fame and to gratify tho martial
pride of his nation, ho lias been frilly success
ful. If he sought to win tho confliicneo and
regard of the advance guard of Republicans
and Liberalists in Italy; Franco, and Hungary;
ho has utterly failed, but it is not at all proba
ble, in view of the nature of his career, that lie
cares for their approbation.
- Among tho speculations in regard to his
Teal purposes, which arc being discussed, that
which supposes hi? so?ign to be to virtually
place himself at the head of the Catholic
power of' Europe has a certain degree of
plausibility.' There has been a strong tenden
cy Jn recent French political literature to lay
great stress upon the' importance of the unity
of the h I<i»tin race,” just as in England and
the United States mop (oye to talk of tho An
glo-Saxon race.. France ap<ji Spain tjye evi

and she was regarded a? the leading Catholic
Power, But Franco has now driven Austria
frptn. this position, arid will probably assnro.o
it hersolf. If tbo Pope acts as Honorary Pre
sident of the Italian Confederation, ho will
Stl)l ikROW very well that the position is tho,
gift of Franco, ai)d ho will naturally feel
friendly to that Power. If Lfjufs Napoieon
can thus become, riot only tho absolute rylcr
of his own country, but a sort of protector of
tho Jtglian Confederation, of Spain-—«»d-of

to exhibit hjs jnjrtrneUons on that point. It is sup
posed that this wilt scoyrp tho utiimato acquies
cence of President Juarez and hisra|n,';tpf s and tho
Littoral party generally, and that the “ 'material
aid" furnished by. tho Fodoral Government to tho
Liberal party, will onablo tho Liberal,party (o tri
umph over sii cpppaea hi, arid ostabllsh itself as tho
permanent Government of Mogieo. Wlthont the
express authority of both houses of Gougrcss, tho
President possesses no pqwor to anthorizo or to al
low tho troops of the United States to pass the bor
,dors of Mexico, and mingle tut bo ooritest fhero.
The invasion ot a foreign State, oven at tho In
stance of a do facto or of a dejnre Oppominent of
Such State, (recognised by the United Statos,) Is a
ipe»sprp which, under tho Constitution of tho
United States, tiie ffositlont does riot possess tho
power to adopt Nor ean ho d|spp|i»p with the nru.
trality law.,, nor anthorizo their Infraotion by oi
tlzena of the United States in aid of tho
Liberal party ,in Mexico; but, on the con
trary, ho la sworn to soo “the laws faithfully
.executed; rind if boshijqliJ ijpnrilve at their
violation ho would not only be remiss in his figty,
bnt his epnduct would exhibit a gross Inconsistency
to tho oourso he pursued against General IVolker
respecting Nicaragua, and would subject him to
impeachment. It )« supposed, hpwevor' that the
money which will bo supplied to tho Liberal pffty,
as stipulated in tho treaty, will answer the wished-:
fbr objoot. This cannot, however, bo proaured dt :
reptiy from the Qovormncnt of tho United States,
HR Congress has mafia an appropriation for that
oljeot. No money'whatever hasli.ecii appropriated
hy Congress in nntloipatipn of any treaty, of any
kind, and it is not probablo that such appropri
ations, if granted by, the next Congress, could bo
obtained before tho middle'of January. If any ap.
propriatfon should bo made, tho money will proha
bly.havo to be raised by a loan.
It Is a little.singular that tho programme of ope
rations being carried orit by the Administration is
so similar ,to .that foreshadowed In the conversation
had by a jnomber of the Cabinet with General
Walker, several months ago, and whlob, when pub
lished by General W., was denounced by the organ
boro, and othcrwlso by tho Administration, as a fab
ricatlon. You will rocolloot it was hinted to Gone
rai Walker from feo President, that ho could more
profitably and successfully direct, bis operations
toward Northern Mexico than towards Nicaragua,
and that in such case' the President would not be
disposed to intorforc with him, It was then,
doubtless, anticipated that n treaty would bo
concluded with Nicaragua, securing us tho
transit tbero, if Walker was out of tho, way.
But it turns out that tho bunglingcourso adopted
with referorieo to such treaty, first with Yrlssarb
next Jerez, has left us without any hopes In
that quarter; and that the Pronoh have scoured
the route through Monsieur Belly. The name of
tho French grantoo' la significant of what may bo
'oxpootedftptn Louis' If apoloon if it Is atlompted
to interfere'with the French grant to harry out the
Monroe doctrine. Wo have certainly lost the Nica
raguan rhrito, .
If the Cass.Jlcrran treaty should bo fished up
from !ho bottom of tho unknown rlvor in which it
was lost on its'way to Bogota, boforo tici), Jones
eomosTiomc, and If it should be ratified by tho
Granadian Government, wo may liavo some guaran
tee giving value to tho Prinajina inter-oceanio route.
Bnt, ut present, matters do not look fayorablo in
that quarter;
1 ' In the . whole history of our Govorniicrit, there
never has been such bungling iinbceiilty displayed
n our diplomatic affairs as Is exhibited with

matters, without troubling him except to fulfil the
functions of a sortof diplomatic mail agent bo twoen
them and Lord Palmerston. By tbo by, it is said
that the appreciation of the then Polish premier
(Lord Palmorston), and who has again borne into

high, nnd thnt Mr. Buchanan f\dly-,understood and
reciprocated his feelings.- - lVhon Mr. Buchanan
ym about leaving London, Lord Palmerston, just
before bidding him good*byo, observed with that
blandncßS of manner and significant smile which he
always haswhon intending to ho sarcastic, “'Well.
31r. Buchanan, I suppose you return to the United
States to‘be ©looted President.” Mr. Buchanan,
, touched by the remark} answered somewhat sharp.
ly,“I should not bo elected if your. Lordship could
provont it.” Tho rejoinder of his Lordship was
made in tho same manner as was the first oxprea- I

and accompanied by a graceful bow. It was, “Ah 1
no, sir, you aro always at fault with respect
‘ my dear sir, myself and my country would both bo
entirely willing to soo you- elected.” Mr. Bu*,
chanau could not fail to understand tho true mean

, and it augmented not a little the acerbity of his
feelings toward him. ,
Tho dismissal of-Mr. Crumpton by General
Pierce, fqr. encouraging tho violation of our neu»

Baobamtn, though ,he would .havo boon more

for sale. Tho earliest-notice we .have of them la
the minutes oHhe Common Council of this citj
is dated December, 1704, when “ Alderman John
Jones and Edward Smout wore appointed collectors
of rent for stalls and’standings in the markot.”
From this, rime wo have vhriouß incidental notices:
of such aa of charges for repairs, trouble in
coffeoting dues, l'c M un(ii, Kovember' 22,1705, it
w«ff “ordered thaf a netVmarket-house bo built,'
whore tho stalls now stand, by this corporation, to
bo lot onfc by the corporation for ye use and benefit
thereof.” It was easy to make this resolution, hut
how was tho money to bo raised ? Tho old corpora
tion, as shown in a former article, had no power to
lay taxos. ■ - . .
After duo consideration of tho knotty question,
it was voted, eight months after, that tho mem
bora, of the corporation should advaneo the monoy,.
and that “tho seven aldermen shall contribute and
pay double whot the Common Councilmcn' should
do.” Ten months lifter this, it was voted, that
‘“the members of this Board haye vow unani
mously agreed that a now juarket-bouso shall be
built with nil expedition.” Was it opposition to
thek which hindcrod their movements so
much? It was agrood that the sums advanced,
which wero ordorod to be paid in within ton days,
** ono half in money and tho other half in goods,”
should bo repaid with interest out of the rente of
the stalls,' “Bharo"and sharoalike.” Other iuhobi
.tan.ts of the city, not mombers of tho Council, wero
invited to contribute on tho same terms. The
raiputes do not. show-wto these buildings wore
erected. Dr. Measo says tho market-house on
High atreot was a range of wooden stalls from Front
to Second stroet. Bat tho old prison (which was
several times presented rs a nuisance, and finally
removed as suoh in 1722) occupied eomo part of this
site. Mr. Watson says this market was from tho’
old court-house in Market street, weßt side of Se
cond, halfway up to Third. But this does not
seem to accord with what follows- In November,
1718, it appeared that ,“Divers psona Renters of
fcfarkcif tftelis Lotout tiio same at throe or fpur or
ffivo times more Rent than they pay,” and conso- ■
qnently, the, want of additional accommodations be-;
ing evident, a commUteo of Councils was appointed:
to prepare a schomo for now markets. It was at
length agreed, July 4,1720, that _** tb© building bo
the width of the.,court-house, in height ten ffoot to
tho jolce, tho length of tho stalls joining to bo
eightoon ffoot, to have on alloy of ffour ffoot be-
Twixt thorn & the. next two stalls. Tho sbolter
at tho back of the stalls three ffoot & ahalf on tho
outside, tho Breadth of tko stall three ffoot 4 ahalf
within, the clear iValk (fourteen ffoot, and the
Btnlls to be eight ffoot Dlstnnco from the court
house, but tho Roof to join to tho court-hoyso.
That the whole bo paved with Brick at tho Beighth
of tho noUTUhouao ffloor in tho Middle, &. to ho posted
without on both sides.” Four aldermen/ Anthony
Morris, Jonathan piokiuson, Isaac Norris, and
James Regan, offered at this time‘to advance £lOO
each, for-building forty-eight new Stalls, Six
pionths woro spent in discussion, when Alderman
Redman contracted to build thirty stalls for .£4OO.
The money advanced, with interest, was agreed to
ho repaid in four annual payments of 429 in 1722, |
min 1723 and-1724, and £33 in 1825. In 1722-!
tho old stalls to tho of the now ones wore.or? (
derod to bo taken dqffn. (Wore theso tho ones |
built in 1710?) .In. 1?29_ twenty new stalls were
agreed to bd crpdtod oaat of Second etreot, “ for tho!
accommodation of such os bring provisions from j
Jersey*,.as woll as oar own Inhabitants having oc
casion to buy.” Several private persons haying
put up stalls, whmlj tljpy rented at a considerable j
profit, to the oast of (he courthouse, it" was re-1
solved, in 1735, by the Popucijs, that tho city cor
poration ought to have *he advantage of all snob |
arrangements. It being reported to them that i
o erect stalls in front of tho |
paving the same, setting posts, making new l
moving Stalls, and covering them with painted can
vas, would cost two hundred pounds, it was or
dered tsat the dwo stalls in front of tho court-1
house be built at once. Tho rest lay over four
years, when it'wns determined to havo tho stalls as
far dowb as Lotitia court, ‘and the street wos or
tjored to he posted and grnvellod tho breadth of
twenty feet. Sineo tho winter season was go far \

tjora tho ‘desire of manufacturers -to fill American
