From the New York Corte;Foi:ent of tab %Vash inglon Union NEW YORK, Juno 16, 1849. The Cambria' most important news con cerning the progress of the contest over the right of the people to le governed by rulers of their own choice. , • & Smith's European Times, from which the journalists of America will persist in copying their European news i tems, (though the reliable advices by each succeeding steamer prove that paper's ver sion of the accounts by the, last previous ones to lave been garbled, to suit the pur poses of the reactionists,) asserts that no important continental advices reached Lon don during the week ending on the dam , s sailing day. This story, untrue, as ' I shall preSently prove, was faithfully re echoed by the anti-liberalist who makes up the telegraphic despathesat Halifax for the associated presses of this city, through which (being onall occasionsthe firstburst a t ilt° news) it was communicated to every Paper in the United States, Not withstan- Aing - Thelnteresr zinc fcs~cctcw - passing on the other side of the Atlantic, full half the newspaper readersof this coun-; try content themselves with but conning these telegraphic accounts, not taking time or trouble to look deeper into the condition of the European world - than as presented by the Liverpool Times man and the anti liberalist despatch writer on this side of the herring-pond. The consequence is that comparatively few of our countrymen' ever learn the truth in this connexion,,,- But the sympathies of the conductor of the English paper above referred to, and of the tory telegraph man, arc mere " moon shine,' when compared with the evil con sequences of the writings of the many ab solutists at heart who furnish garbledstate ments for English and American popular reading—always magnifying against the cause ofliberalism, and•diminishingagainst that of the "red monarchy" of the day. . Your Washington readers Were a'day or two since treated to a specimen of the style of misrepresentation of men & things republican—against which . I complain— throughout three columns of a Paris letter in the. National Intelligencer. - Ledru Rol, lin is represented by these writers to be a monster of a red republican or socialist.- IThis is false. He is no socialist ;.,nor is he the advocate of popular violence, ftirther than it may be necessary for the protee ' tion of the now constitutional liberties of the. French people against any and all vio lent attempts to compass their abrogation, whether the Violence resorted to by the ab solutists be in the shape of flagrant and shameless setting aside Of the laivs of the land, under the pretence that the people cOn teMplate the destruction of their own liber ties, or by, coups (Petal!, such as the monar ehists'who assume to advise Odillon Ban. rot undoubtedly designed to essay, onfind ing that popular sentiment was about tok• gaily decree that they should . resign NW er.

I Will leave you to the papers for details of the French news, cautioning your read errs to recollect that the conduct on the part of the ultra republicans, so,vehemently de nounced by the reactionists, is sustained by General Bugeaud, who, though proba bly a monarchist-in principle, see ins to be aware that the only real danger of civil war, Or a Contest of castes in France, ari ses frail the _Measures of-the anti-republi cans, taken with the view to nullity the revolution of 1848. You will perceive that the reactionist writers are ,insisting that the increase of the strength of the ultra democracy in the new Chamber (from 85 in the old to 225) foreshadows a speedy return of the rei g n of terror. These same writers, • a few weeks since, were chuckling over the pre tended belief that in a very short time the French would call a monarch to the throne. If they can create either impression, even temporarily, theirpurpose of throwingcold water on the cause of 'struggling freedom is attained. I question whether thc people of Paris— of all France—were ever more law abiding and orderly than just now.— , SCeing . that their rights are to be protected and extended in spite of the efforts of re troaction, they are content to bide their time. This important fact -is more , esic, cially apparent in the details of the news by the two last Steatters. • The chances arc that ere long that Rollin himself will be prime minister. If sufficient of the moderates of the ChNnber act with him to give him a majority, nothing can prevent his elevation, or that of parties represent-1 ing 'his views, for the moat, art. eavaig nac aud his friends,. who hold the balance' of power; are certainly with him heart and soul n' _onestionsliffectintr, _the.: foreign 'policy-on; all Those immediatc.dy aur rounding the person of the President seem to have at length learned the lesson of the "court"of St. James—to promptly consent to .a change of men when the nation intl.' mates its 'want of confidence in the person nd or policy of the ministry of the day., It is a remarkable coincidence, that the governments of France and tip U. States I should, at one and the 'same' time, verge to l close approximation to the British practice of intrusting the responsibility - of adminis tration, not in the party placed by the e lectors at the head of affairs, but -in minis ters of his choosing. But, to recur to the original thread of my letter- 7 -to the news that the Butcher. Ferdinand of ,Naples, af ter the' defeat othis 'vanguard, fled' precipi tately to his capital—preceding his troops,l following in total disorder. This is of irn-1 portance ; so also is the fact, that on the 25th ult., it was understood in Vienna that the Emperor, on hearing*of the state of the public mind in. France—foreboding a junc tion of Oudinot's army. with the Roman re publiens against his troops—laid hastily recalled Marshal Winnpflin with the army I on the march for Rome. There is little! doubt of the truth of this account in my mind, though the anti-liberal journals have - not yet beard ,of it. - Your readers will perceive that it is strictly in keeping with the policy I have heretofore-suggested as the only lino or common-sense conduct left for Austria in the present juncture of allitirs: The Emperor cannot afford to be . beaten in-Italy. Just now, to suffer defeat in that. quarter, would; as if,by Magic; un do all t.adetZlii has done for his master in the laSt three months.. So. Frederiek.b seph!s cabinet will not risk an engagement not certain to end in a victory for -their master's arms.' Rome,,then, .is entirely free from dan ger from foreign enemies. AV hat a change in the'prospect for the consummation, of republicanism in Italy his taken place, in the last silty or seventy'days. Your rea ders will remeMber that; in the defeat of Charles Albeit, every writer for the Amer ican press upon continental affairs, but my solf,, announced that event as sealing the destruction arthe republic of Rome.

The " moderate liberalist , i" of Germany arc no;sy aware of what they have to expect; and having their eyes opened, I shall expect to hear by the net two or three steamers that, as in the case of the Cavaignac and Lamartine party in France, when forced to an election., between flat footed democracy and abseatisin, they arc doing their best to seeure the former fir their respective States.
