persist in copying their European news i

poses of the reactionists,) asserts that no
important continental advices reached Lon
don during the week ending on the dam

' 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

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

sequences of the writings of the many ab

IThis is false. He is no socialist ;.,nor is he

ing—denoUnCe the patriotic opposition of
Rollin and his compeers to such conduct
as measures foreshadowing : the re-estab
lishment of the republic of the days of Re-.
bespierre.
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

of power; are certainly with him heart and

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. I, on

,The New Orleans papers of the :11th
state that the' steamei'CieSeaft, City
arriVed.there on the Itith, from cii*te - s
which pllice she left on the 4th:
The Croseent'City,' (by special order,)

Capt' Forbes, of steamship Califor
nia,•carne paSsengefon ilia Crescent City,
having left San Francisco . on 'the Ist of
May. He brings news to. the i "date.Of his
departure. • "
Capt.'Forbes represents the Pacific. as a
most delightful sea. The weather:its: al
w'ays free froth storms, and the water calm
and smooth as a' mirror: Slight Rigs oe,-
casionally impede navigation, tait they are
tnldem of long duration.*
Among the vessels thaLb44iiallral from
PanaMa was en old ship called:the I
bolt.. She bad golf& around originally nS'' '
a coal vessel, a ndliiy at Panaisaa 5 months
without employment. At last kSpeeula.- •

We learn from Capt. Forbes. that the
marvellous 'stories respecting thd
dance of gold, are not at alt exaggerated;
but on the contrary; Call far short•of the
reality. The limits of the region'in'Which
the precious metal abounds are .getting
\more extended every day by new discove.

continually pouring into The . plam
commodations of any kind.are scarcely t r i \
be obtained: The meanest hut orshed,
such as here would be considered unhwha.
bitable, commands enormous rent. G6 3 d
provisions are alMost equally Scarce.
ecarfrest kind of food must be used, as ne .--
other can be rocurcd. No person stays
any longer in San. Francisco than he can
help ; but all who'are lucky . enough to pro
cure transportation, immediately take their ,
departure for the mining, districts. When
they arrive there, they find no difficulty in
accumulating. almost , any amount. of.the
precious metal. 'Three tb four ounces of
gUld is considered a common
,day's work.
Less than that. induces the digger to move
to a richer spot. Much more ,is kicbdiop
gained in a feW hours, as the - poss es sors of the large lunips may attest.' ,
There. was -a great deal of conversation
hi California respecting the eStablishnient
of a ProvisSiOnal Government, but as yet
nothing had been done. The-people are
anxiously awaiting news of the action of
Ccmgress`upon- the subject; not laVing
heard of the failure of that body to act np.
on the subject. In the event of nothing
being done 1,7-,t
Congress, it was generally
understood that when the miners shOuld
return in. the.fal4 a State Governinerit
would be established. • : " • .
