No country now fills so large a space in the oyo of the world as France. She presents the anomaly of a large, wealthy, intelligent, bravo, and resolute population, thoroughly subjected for all practical governmental pur* poses to the will of one man, nnd ho being the most astute of inonarchs, wields the power thus conferred upon him with astonishing effect. The action of France on any great internal or European question, depends nei* ther on tho will of her people, nor the deci sion of Parliaments, but on tho determination of her Emperor. Internal “order” having been secured by destroying or holding in abey ance some of tho raoßt sacred and inestimable of human rights, a sort of liberal and enlight ened despotism lias been established, by which Louis Napoleos has secured the power of guiding her destinies, and controlling her re sources, with the tacit understanding, how ever, that while be can do as ho pleases, ho must in tho main please to do right. Thus supremo at homo, ho is equally power* ful abroad, and his movements are watched with a fur moro scrutinizing and jealous eye than those of any other monarch. \Then ho first assumed tho Imperial robes, ho was pa tronized by some of his brother Sovereigns, and mi libbed by others, as a parvenu; but the proudest of them now court hia friendship, and fear his haired, and, to all appearance, lio is as firmly seated upon his throno as those who boast a line of kingly ancestors, running back for many centuries. Tho firmness with wlvicii he lias hold tho reins of government, and tho success which attended his demon strations aguiust tho colossal power of Russia at Sebastopol, aud against Austrian tyranny in Italy, have given him a prestige that no other Imng*mnn possesses. The known mar. tlal superiority of the people of Franco—their love of military glory, and their readiness to sustain tho most protracted, bloody, and ex pensive wars—may well make any nation dread a monarch who can direct their mighty arms ugotust any country ho chooses to an tagonize. Tho military renown of Franco bus been purchased at a cost of human life which cannot be contemplated with out a shudder; but while we are aston ished at tho semi-barbarous tone of na tional sentiment which has not only sus tained but applauded reiterated and re-ro itcrated wars, and at tho perverse taste which has given to military pursuits an unwarranta ble preferonco over peaceful occupations, uo one cau fail to pcrceivo how much this superior development of the military Idoa has added to her rank in the scale of nations. Nothing illustrates in so striking and forcible a manner her immense waste of human life in war as her slow increase of popu* lotion. This has not been quite doubled dur ing the last one hundred and fifty years. In 1701, her population was 19,CG9,320, while in 1851, H was but 85,781,628. In 1801, it was 27,810,003. During the first fifty years of the present century, the tncrease was considerably less than forty per cent, and it is estimated that in the wars of tho Empire France lost no less than 1,700,000 men. During the same period tho population of Great Britian nearly doubled, and the population of tho United States rose from 6,200,007 to 23,191,876—an increase of nearly 400 per cent, While other causes may have dono much to retard the in crease of tlie population ofFrancc, her bloody wars have doubtless been by fur the most im portant one. A nation thus lavish in her ex penditure of that which It is the primary ob joct'of all Governments to preserve—tht life-ot her citizens—in foreign wars, necessarily ex ercises, when she is under the guidance of an ambitious and skilful ruler, and when she pos sesses sufficient material wealth to support the necessary expenditures of warlike enterprises, —a degree of influence, bordering on terror ism, over contiguous nations of a more peace ful disposition. By those tvho consider an abundance of the precious metals ono of the surest criterion* of national wealth, and their rapid accumula tion ono of tho best evidences that could given of national prosperity, France must bo regard ed as tho most prosperous country on tho globe. Her average excess of imports of tho precious metals over exports for tho ten years ending with 1858 was 808,787,51X1 francs, or $02,000,000 —so that since her present ruler was elevated to power she has increased her stock of gold ami silver about $020,000,000. Her foreign commerce during the same period has nearly doubled in extent, her exports in 1858 being valued at 2,5Gtf,000,000 francs, and her imports at 2.161,000,000 francs. Nearly all branches of her internal industry have received during the same period an im petus unparalleled in her former history. But tho fears of a French invasion, which in England so frequently “fright tho isle from its propriety,” arc based more upon the re markable increase in strength and efficiency of tlio French navy than upon any other cir cumstance. It has gradually risen from a small and almost contemptible fleet to a strength approximating that of Great Britain ,* and while the numerous colonies and extensive commercial interests of tho latter Power com pel her to stud every ocean uitd sea with the sails of her war-ve&sels, France can readily concentrate her navy upon her own coasts. Upon no branch of thy public service has Iter Emperor bestowed more marked attention, and in no branch has thero been a more rc mavkaiile increase in efficiency. In 1858 she hud afloat or building 209 steam and 252 sail ing vessels, carrying 12,520 guns and 56,610 seamen and marines, and site had also a large reserve forco of murines. It is, therefore, nut unnatural that the people of Great Britain should be anxious to be, as far as possible, prepared to resist tlio attacks of so powerful a neighbor it’ any unfortunate combination of circumstances should destroy the peaceful re lations of the two countries. The Missing Balloonists, (From the Northern New York Journal* Sept. 2?.J La Mountain, owing to tbo storm of Tuesday, was compelled to defer his ascension till Thursday, when the weather was fine. Tho pubtio adware was crowded with spectators, and every window looking out upon it whs fillod with heads, while the roofs of buildings were black with human beings. At about ten o’clock tho process of infla tion was commenced, which continued till bl F. M when La Mountain appeared among tho crowd ana bid adieu to them. John A. Haddock, Esq., of The lieformer, also took a seat in tho car, to tho surprise of everybody, as it was not known that ho ant/oiputed accompany Jog Mr. La Mountain in his aeriul voyage. Tho balloon rose beautifully and majestically above the village, amid tho ehouts of tbo crowd. Aftor reaching n few hundred feet, it passed off to the northeast, and in about twenty minutes was out ot sight. It was soon to pass Philadelphia, 18 milts distant, fifteen mi antes after its departure. Tho last that was hoard of it was Us passage ovor tho town of Fowler, St. Lawrence county, 3l» miles dis tant, when it seemed to bo moving at a rapid rate in tho same direction as before. It was supposed that they would oomo down before dark, and their roturn to tbo villago was confidently expected by tho morning train from Potsdam. Up to this time—five dAys—nothing has been hoard from them, ami consequently there Is much anxloty about their safety, and the balloon and its passengers ia the thorno ofoonvorsatloneverywhere. >Vo hope, however, that tho predictions of maoy friends may not be realized, and that we may have the ploasuro of welcoming him back among us after a successful and pleasant voyage. A gentleman somowhat versed in air travelling and the condi tion of tho voyagers states that tho aeronauts, at tho last moment, evidently werodisposed to remain in tho air over night if they found circumstances favoring such a course; that they probably did so, and landed in tho wornlug in somo out-of-tho-way wlldoroeas; and that the distanoo on landing from an inhabited point explains tho delay of tidings from them; that they were well clad, and could not suffor from cold; thatthoy had but a small quantity of pro visions say three pounds, but thatat this season of tho year they could not find it very diflloult to ob-, tain the menus of sustaining life; that they are both resolnto men, and well calculated to surmouut obstnoles; that they had from two hundred and fifty to three hundred pounds ballast, which would enablo them, if they struck the Gulf of St. Law ronoo, to cross that body of wator, aud possibly to cross the ocean, if their course unfortunately lay in that direction; and that their absence should not cause especial alarm, even though they should not return for several days.

Heed’s Speech an 1 * Inconsistencies. [For The Preu.] As Mr William B. Reed basso modestly given bis “ earnest, cordial, and (he hopes) disinterested testimony” to the “ patriotism, integrity, and abi lity of the Administration of Mr. Buchanan,” and has kindly told his auditors, in order to mitigate bis own inconsistencies, that “Mr. Webster, who was called a pretty good Whig, supported a fugi tive-slave law,” and “ Mr., Clay, as late &* 1850, announced it to be his doctrine, (and we Whigs were very apt to take his notions as law.) that a Territorial legislature could not interfere with slavery, or the tenure of slave property—the Pre sident’s doctrine exactly”—designing to lead his hearers to believe that Mr. Webster and Mr. Clay would, if living, follow the illustrious lead of Mr. Rood, and accept the Administration dogma that tho Constitution gives the right to carry slaves into the United States territory—will you allow a gubscribor to inquire what the late Commissioner to China thinks of the following sentiments of Mr. Webster and Mr. Clay, uttered during the very year, 1850, when he claims their opinions to he as he states?— On March 7, 1850, Mr. Webster said : ” Wherever there Is a substantive good to be done; wherever there is a foot of land to be stayed back from becoming slave territory, I am ready to assert the principle of the exclusion of slavery. I am pledged to it from the year 1837: I hare been pledged to it again and again; and I will perform those pledges.” r On February 6,1856, Mr. Clay said: ‘•I have said that I never could vote for it mr se.f, and I repeat that I never tan, and never will rote, and no earthly power will ever make me vote, to spread slavery over territory where it does not exist. ’ Again, on May 22, 1850, Mr. Clay said: ‘‘lf, by the Constitution of the United States, there is a right, on the part of every slaveholder In this country, to carrysUves fnfo the ceded territo. nes, (ichich I certainty do not bdieve or admits Ac.” ' Are those doctrines “ tho President’s doctrine exactly Lot the wary Commissioner answer. But we can come a little nearer home to this “dis interested” politician and late office-holder, who, “when the Whig party marched over in a body to the Abolition camp,’' magnanimously marched him self into tho Democratic fold, and now speaks so cavalierly of “ some suoh abstraction as slavery in the Territories,” which ho compares in importance with a oonteat for position in a City Democratic Ex ecutive Committee! On pago 173, vol. 2, et scy. of his lifo of his grand father, General Joseph Heed, Mr- Will Urn B. Reed says: “Slavery nercr took deep root or spread its dark branches far in Pennsylvania.” lie quotes from President Reed’s message to the Assembly, as follows: “ We would also again bring to yonr view a plan for tho gradual abolition oi slavery, so dis graceful to any peoplo, aud more especially to those who have been contending in the great cause of liberty thesmolros. Honored will that State be in the annals of history, which shall first abolish this violation of the rights of mankind, and the memo ries of those will bo held in grateful and everlast ing remombrance who shall pass the law to restore and establish the rights of human nature in Penn sylvania.” And again remarks himself: • “ Abolition with them (the Pennsylvania states men of the Revolution) was no wayward freak of headlong enthusiasm, but a reasonable measure of economical administration—the application of high principles of abstract equality, In order to eradi cate without violence, and by gradual processes, an admiited and inveterate ev Mr. Heed, again, referring to the authorship of tho Preamble to the Pennsylvania Abolition Act of 1780, is unable “ to claim the honor for President Heed,” and adds: “It may not bo inopportnne to recall public at tention in this place to another legislative measure of kindred interests. The resolutions of the Senate and House of Representatives of Pennsylvania, of December 22.1819, on the Missouri question. They were written by William J. Duane, then a repre sentative from Philadelphia. They breathe, in eloquent language, the Pennsylvania sentiment of 178 U.” From an original circular to the Representatives iu Congress, signed by the then Gorernor, William Findlay, the following portion cf the production thus above praised is extracted .* . “The Senate and House of Representatives of Pennsylvania, therefore, eannot bnt deprecate any departure from the humane and enlightened policy purrned not only by the iUustrtou* 'Congress of 1787, bat by their successors without exception. They are persuaded that to open the ferine re gions of the West to a servile rowe-would tend to ‘lncrease theft* numbers beyond tfstyuT'elfltopU >■ would epen a new and steady market for the law less wndorft of human dash—and weald render all schemes for obliterating this most foal blot upon the American character nselesi and unavailing.” These were sentiments which Mr. Reed approved “as late as” 1847; they are sentiments which he need never have been ashamed of; but being now (“in office and out of office”) a “ warm personal friend of the President,” that champion of the in famous Lecompton .Constitution, and giving an “ earnest, cordial, and disinterested support” te his Administration, he has found it convenient not only to indirectly deny his own former sentiment*, but to endeavor to misrepresent those of Mr. Clay and Mr. Webster.

Hi# Eminence Cardinal Wiseman has recently been requested to visit Rome in hia official charac ter as a Frinccofthe Church. No doubt tho ill* uesa of tho Pope bus something to do with this.

M., in Hamilton Park, corner of Sixty sixth street and Third avoaue. At 2 P.M., the great yellow orb of oiled stuff was fully distended, and multitudinous gaud-bags were put in requisi tion to hold it down. A large concourse of people were attracted by the announcement yesterday moruiug, that he would attempt gome experiment# in takiug up the balloon attached to a rope und windlass, by which it could bo pulled down. Although the wind was a little gusty, the anxiety of the people was so great to see tho ascension, and tba desire of some gentle men whom ho had invited to go up witk him was so decidedly in favor of going, that he made the attempt. At 3 o'olock, with two gentlemen, be rose nearly 800 tcet. They described the sensation as exceedingly pleasant. They had no dizziness, and for onco in their lives got an idea that New York was not so very large a city after all. From tho Battery to High Bridge it was rolled out be neath them like a may ; Westchester, the Sound, Flushing, Brooklyn, the islands, and the Nar rows, were toward the horizon. They looked over the Palisade ridge into New Jersey, and far up the Hudson. The air was pare and in vigorating, and they said that they were not id tho loast frigbtonod, though some envious peo ple, who could not go up, did insinuate that they saw thoir faces suddenly grow white. It would be a very pretty play, with spy-glasses, to watch the oouutenanoes of people as they go up, ami see how it seems to them, xheropeand wind lass arrangements, undor tho direction of an old sea captain, worked admirably. In asecond ascen sion, Mr. Wise took up two other gentlemen' The breezo became fresher during this trip skyward, and they were swept over bo that the rope was caught for nmoment in some trees near the Windlass, bringing the balloon down upon more distant trees for a moment. Tho windlass will be placed in a four-acre space of smooth meadow, on the Park, to-day, so that the treeacannot interfere. Of coarse no attempts were made at photographing the scenery lrom the balloon yesterday. That proems requires perfect calm.

The long lino of the Linden, from the Brandec* bug Gate to the Los and Garten, had been aUre that day, with cuirassiers, humara, and infkAtrv who with slow and stately march had the long procession of state carriages, glowing in all the gilded splendor of mediaeval tunas, to the sombre-looking palace.

As the procession was not exported former* than an hour, I availed myself of the leisure aSetded to take a stroll through wane of the principal chambers of this gbom/cld pile so raooVnod f U Prussian history. Through the eutrtoy of one of the ehamberlams, I obtained entrance Into the celebrated “White Ball," then abUia with myriads of wax lights, that filled this splendid chamber with their eoit radianee. More than hair a zaUloQ of thalers had been recently expended in its decorations. There in solemn state stojd the statues of the twelve Brandenburg electors, the eight allegorical figiree representing the Prussia* province*. It wm in this hail that tho founder of tho Prussian monarchy, Frederick L nUeed the crown upon his head on the-ISih' of Jane ary, 1701, and three days after, in a chamber not fat removed, the Great Frederick was bora. On tbe day of his christening, an American wu observed to btimose for the first lime in forty years, and into *• The Whim Haii“ the beautiful plant was brought, which h£fi thua symbolised tbe splendor that Prussia was oca day to attain under the prince who had just been given to the nation. In fact, everywhere I wax oontmnaUy reminded of the *tory of boyhood and manhood of Frederick the Greet, and the abuses and fearful suffering he was made to undergo through tho brutality of his half-mij father. Here was tho ecece of many of the most shameful cruelties inflicted upon tho Prince, which would havo erushed the manhood out of the mow of human kind, but which appeared only to strengthen and develop his. Josr as I was enter ing the Elttervaal, a loud and long-drawn trumpet peal gave notice of the approach of the proceowou to the picture gallery; and I was just abt« to gel a good position in the line as the entrance dZot swung slowly open, end the heads of the magnifi. oent procession—chamberlains and pages xfce court in richest and most picturesque costume— entered the hall. Immediately after came the members of the royal family of Prussia, with their train-bearers and lords in waiting, sweeping ©a with proud step through the long line of their liege subjects, who goxed upon each member of the royal family with delighted eyes. The fair young Brin eess,yo soon to be a bride, was in the nriist. out ap pearing at a sad disadvantage with her high crown of circlet upon circlet of diamonds, surmounted with an emerald eroas, which fairly made her stoop with its weight. Her face was pale, and her eyes downcast, the lids of whieh had a ewoUao look, aj If she had been weeping.

For a considerable anaco, it rich stuffs, and a daxsle of diamonds and precious stones, as onaaftor.sßn«h«r of the habituuof the court circle passed on. But it was, tike seme empty pageant at Vanity Fair. Presently there was an onosual stir In the crowd, and a Ie w mumur pervading the whole gallery. It was easily sees by the excitement, and the earnest looks visible in the crowd, that some very distiqgaiibod personage was approaching. I turned to my nearest ceien bor to inquire, when he quickly replied, “Don’t yon soe > Baron Humboldt is eominj.” Invat a glance that the venerable philosopher Lad a fii*: hold upon the popular mind. The flashing pa. geantry of the coart they hod gaied upon without much emotion. They felt it iraa & splendid but an empty show. Now the majeity of Mind was ap proaching, and it wanted no chamberlains or pages, glittering in silver and gold, to announce its coming—no blaze of diamonds for its ornament, aj the serene light of intellect shone round it.

Queen Louisa, of the last reg-'tna, with bead somewhat bowed and hands crossed to- • hind him, tbe venerable |<hiloeopher moved thoughtfully on. Thero was a mumiur r.f appro bation,only restrained by the etiquette of the oc casion from swelling unto loud acclaim. Of this, however, he did not appear to take the least r>.- tice. The pageantry by which he w&s surrounded clearly had no charm* for him, and he looked, I havo no doubt he felt, that he would have much preferred the solitude of his study to mingling in this dance of folly. n This was tho first sight I had obtained of the man I mo?t derired to see in all Prussia: I gazed at him. therefore, m< st earnestly a# long as he continued *ii sight. His dress, as [ have said before, was faded in the extreme, and he evidently had tbo student’s coc teaapi for it# fopperies and'fripperies, ftyusd hi neck he wore suspended, by a plain black ribhrn, the portrait of the reigning King, while the point# vf two or three orders were just visible, peeping from beneath the fold of the left collar of bts coat. Hii manner was abstracted, and his thoaghts evidently elsewhere than amid the splendid pomp ana pagoantry surrounding him. As he approached the centre of the line, where I had taken up my fisition, he looked up for a moment; and* then wa# struck with his wonderful resemblance to the late venerable Doctor .Alexander, who hju “ left a name to live'* among the churches. There was the same dove-like expression ont of his eyes. tho same quiet repose about the lines of hlj mouth;* and the same calm serenity about the high pale brow, that all those who bad ever seen the Patri arch of tho Presbyterian church weuMharehai recalled to their minds in gating on the Prussian philosopher. Considering his great age at that time, nearly eighty-six years, his step ws» remarkably firm; and. with the exception of the stoop habitual to the student, bts car riage wo# indicative of strength of ex tern. The friend and counsellor of the last king of Prussia, and in high favor with the rrigu ing monarch, there was nothing within the rang* of royal benefits that Homboldt could not have had for tho asking. But, with the true pride of rho devoteo of science, he put away from ham ho nors and emoluments, anxious to enrich Ptuxsla with the contributions of science, and not seeking riches in return.

Hi# worldly goods were not great, and, with the ex ception of his library, be owned no property of a&v great value. His library he left to his faithful serving man, who has offered it for sale, and we be lieve Mr. Wright, our minister at Berlin, has been making efforts to obtain it for the United States, I left the old Schtoss about ten o’clock, and passed out of the gate towards the Lust Garten, between the celebrated bronze hordes, a capital imitation cf those on the Monte Cabello. at Home. As 1 looked up at the ancient pile, lights were glancing at every window, and I coaid hear the faint notes of tha music, which was opening the dance in the Hall of the Knights. Tho next :iorning the prostrate form of one of the guards was found upon tho threshold of a chamber in the palace, and when re stored toeonscioasuess, persisted in the story that he had seen the vision of the “White Lady.” All Ber lin believed hi? tale, and from the palace to the humblest cottage there was au anxious feeling as to what the future had in store. A few months after, the Emperor of Russia died, and a# he was related by marriage to the royal house of Prnsria, the coming of the apparition, theqnidnunc? conceived, was legitimately accounted for. There had been a death in the royal house. J W W. Burlington, N. J. Casting of Mills’ Statue or Washington*. —Last Tuesday quite a large party was assembled at the foundry of Clark Mills, near Washing on, t-> witness the final casting of tho equestrian eutue of Washington, which was attended with the happiest result. This statue represents General Washington at the battle of Princeton, at th© mwt cri losl mo ment of that decisive contest. He Isi mounted tu his hone, which rears backward upon his haunches, alarmed at the roar of battle; hU sword is drawn, and his intrepid countenance seems to defy tho danger by which he i? menaced. The statue i>%s - the merit of being a faithful portrait, 89 tne artist ha? modelled tho features of the General from the plaster cast taken by Qoudon from Wash ington himself, and which, antil recently, was pre served at Mount Vernon.
