BtPORTANT DECLARATION BY THE SPANISH MINISTRY. The Madr id correspondent of the l'aria PreUe givea the following account of the interpellation* pat to tho Spanish Ministry In the Cortes on the subject ef Gen. ?DMha'a despatches:? The Cortea same to a vote to-day (March 8) of high iaapurtaace? aa importance the greater from the fact teat it teem* to prejudge the solution of the question toft to tho Assembly by M. Olozaga. It ha* affirmed in principle tho exiatence'of two chamber*, by a majority ?f 201 vote* against 166. Bat the sitting reeerved for na other emotions. I an noanced to you, a few day* since, the discovery of a **ry serious conspiracy In the iiland of Cnba. Thi* atoning the government received circumstantial dea paubea brought to it by M. Bastilloa, one of the moat distinguished officers of the Spaniah navy, who hat juat returned trom the iiland. Now General Serrano sud denly interrupted the debate on the constitution by demanding of the miniatry If they oould give aeme ex planation as to the content* of theie despatches M. Luztiritiga, in the midat of a silence truly to'emn, gave a reply at categorical as the circumstances would permit. A great conspiracy had in fact been discovered. But the Otptain- General Conch a had suooeeded in nipping it to the bud. All the principal actors in this drama were ia the hand* of the authorities. The minister was able to give the assurance that the lecority of this rich col ?nv was in no danger. Large re-enforcements of troops were about being dispatched to Gen.Concha. Spain would Mead from all nor vela*, sooner than support in that qaarter either injory or dishonor. On the charac mt of the conspiracy Mr. Lnzuriaga was ?ot as explicit as he himself would no doubt have desir ed. Ho only ventured to insinuate a fact which people here would like to doubt, namely, that the impulse of this conspiracy came from the United States ; and he immediately asserted with energy and in a manner which produced a profound impression on the assembly, that all tbe conspirators arrested were acknowledged parti aaas of the maiatenance of slavery. ?a this occasion tbe minister made a declaration which reheats the bigheat honor npon him, at well as upon the ?abinet wboae sentiments he expresses. He said, that without invading the rights of established property, without refuting to compensrte them by a suitable in drmnity, the Span'ah government was finally decided to pat aa end to a barbarous Institution, which all civilized nations condemned, and which M. Lu/uriagadid sot fear to eall a peat and a shame to humanity. The Kapartero minUtry has the more merit for having taken this generous initiative, from the fact that negro slavery reckons, in this liberal lnnd of Spain, numerous and very warm partisans. And for Cuba itself, the declaration ia not without lta perils. M. Olozaga constituted himself the interpreter of the aeatimenta of the whole Assembly, by proposing a rote ?f adhesion and thanks to the Cabinet. It was the pen daat to that which was pasted about a month since, in aanaequence of the explanations demanded by H. Maria tognv. 1 he Cortes have proved once more that they are I decided net to retreat from this position, in which tbe baaor of Spain is ao deeply involved Apart from tbe debates of the Assembly, I have learned that the principal author of this Cuban conspiracy ia an aafrocked monk, who had succeeded in insinuating him anlf, to a certain extent, Into the confidence of (Sen. Concha Mention ia alao made, in connection with it, of ^r?n known employ* belonging to the engineer corps. AFFAIR OF THE BLACK WABRIOB. Tie Madrid Uaz<fU of March 4 contains the follow ing? Some journals have, during the last few day*, occu pied tbemaelves with the question of the Black Warrior. It is their right to do ao, but it is to be regretted that they are not in possession of more exact details. Tbe government lias clearly made known in the Cortea the principles which will guide it in its international rela tions, they are tkoso of justice, which is the sole source ?f veritable force, veritable authority, and veritable na tional dignity. The affair of the Black Warrior has been treated with tbe strictest justice, and as soon as it shall ho terminated on botb sidea, the government will give pablicity to all its acts. AFFAIRS OF CCBA? RPMORS OF A MINISTERIAL CRISIS. The Clamor. Publico ot March 10, says that the govern mat had received newt that tome of the conspirators in Cnba had been executed. A letter says ? It has been reported for some tima past that a palace totrigae has been got up against the ministry and the revolution. But the truth ia that the Queen, in a ro aeat conference with Marshal Eapartero, showed every confidence in him, nnd the General, on liis part, displayed tho moat respectful deference towards her Majesty. The Queen, moreover, has formally denied in her own urn. and in that of tbe King, that there was any truth in the rnmors that had been spread about on the sub ject, and she added, aa a proof of her sincerity, that she waa ready to make any change in her household that might be conaldered deairable. If any interpellation on tha sabject be made in the Cortes, the government will otato that it ia perfectly satisfied with tbe eourt. It has been rumored that the debate In the Cortea relative to the constitution of tbe b'enate may lead to a ministerial aatais, but the ministers have determined not to make a ?abinet question ef it. In addition to troopa who are about 'e be sent to Cuba on tbe 18th, 600 volunteers are to leave at the end of the month. The Spanish government at Madrid had delayed the mlMsm ef the Havana mall steamer of the 0th of March to order to send out a regiment of Infantry in her. In the Cortea on tbe ftth of March, the Minister of Fareign Affairs, la reply to a question from M. Kances, aaid that he entertained hopes that tbe differences be tween Spain and the United States would be satisfac torily arranged. M. Ranrea said that what the country vaatod was to tee tfcem honorably settled. LATEST. Maiirik.

The friendship of England ha* cost Spain more than tho enmity of France in days gono by end her love embraces now will be certain death ; tbe nerves of old age may not endure it. On Spanish plains, and before the walls of Spanish cities, the battles bave been fougfct that were, at the moment. essential for the safety of Great Britain, and hpaln paid ths largest por I tion of the debt, or gave the bond*, which have been wearing into her viuU lince. With the new sprout of tbe ancient terror, that Britain is bleeding it every pore her beet blood to nnrture and strengthen, a new and un natural line of obligations are bring created, which out be finally elucidated and adjusted upon British soil in stead of Spanish, when they may feel th? want of' the strong arm of the green child? the towering sapling of the Western world? too late.

I am ' no prophet or the son of a prophet." but these things may just as weU be, as tbe ?reama whieh tincture tbe present of British policy, now being webbed round the feet of Jonathan ; so adieu to the shade of Monroe and his doctrine ? it ia not a necessity for human progress, and therefore can never be realized. Ia this connection I may as well note that full advan tage is taken by tlie sis vers of the ' 'actual circumstances" of alarm created in tbe palace by premature declara tions ef the invasion for which it was "notorious that preparations were being made i?t several points in tbe Lnited States," not a thousand miles from "Saguala authorities are ho sensitive as to tbe vitiating influences of a painted spread eagle upon an eighteen inch square piece of pasteboard, hidden away inkthe counting room of a Yankee merchant- not dis played over the entrance of his offise. An awful alarm was created a few evenings since by the report that some thousands of fillbuiteroe were being landed In the vicinity. The volunteers and tbe regulars, both white and black, were aroused from their dreams of safety, and got inlo marching oraer as soon as possible. Ad 7* nee guards of picked chivalry, soon came in view of the oause. and hastened to give the fraternal embrace to their brothers from the eoaxt of Africa. The peaoe of the neighborhood was restored; two hundred ounces comforted the loyal officers, who went to sleep, to dream over the nightmare of tbe "spread eagle," which quaking bosoms; and four hundred and Arty African* rejoiced In having escaped the chances of British philanthropy. Several other landings have been made on the south and north side of Cuba during the "extraordinary cir cumstances" which make the key to the still pouring oilers of personal services and means, predicated for the period when consummation shall occur by piratical in - vaslon, and the number ii stated at over two thousand five hundred Africans that are duly registered and pro vided with "eedulas" of protection. On the morning ot the ad of March, I think, an Ameri can man of-war steamer wae reported in the offing, sup posed to be the Princeton, Eagle, commander, (the San Jacinto had arrived the day previous.) We had be-n so long in a period of some excitement, without any na .5 > representative, that tbe rumor caused the curthlii of Valde* to be filled with spectators to witness her en t ranee. Strangers and citizens mingled together, and as the noble steamer entered port the air was filled with waving handkerchiefs in welcome to tbe stars and stripes and tbe ship. I am told that such an incident on the entrance of one of our vessels has never before taken place. I mention the fact only to intimnte the necessity that always exists in this port, for the pres ence of a respectable vessel of war. It makes a great difference in the confidence of business men, and in tbe treatment of American citisens. It gives security to our commercial marine, employed in the carriage of tbe island products, which is to day sixty five American .vessels against ninety nine of all the rest of the world, including Spanish; and 1 have known of two hundred and fourteen vesiels in this port, two thirds to be of I'nited Stktes tonnage. The idea of i be proximity of Cuba to the coasts of the United States mak ng it unnecessary 11 ,** *rror? the vicinity makes It more Imperative. The relief of our versels of war could be so regulated that henlth would be consulted while the publ-c Interests would not be neglected, as lias been the case in past years. I see H. B. M. brig. of- war Espeigle reported arrived on the 10th from Port R. with "powder and ball," not a usual form of announcement at tlie inspec tion office and leaves the impression that she brings those munitions for the Cuban government. In the pa ET,r", tH? reported from I'ort Royal only. While England uses these arguments to impress her reasoning among her neighbors, it Is not to b? presum ed that we shall keep up with her. without a little of the same logic, which will be found much more effec tive with the Spanish mind than the fine spun expecta tions of the State I)ep?rtment? at any rate, it will oerve torenforce "respectful attention," which has never ob tained in this jurisdiction without it. It ia hoped by our business folks that the matter will be esteemed of sufficient importance to induce investigation or enquiry by the proper department, when the declarations of your correspondent wiU be verified, as they ever have been. Our vessels are fired into, and no reply is even condescended to official questions as to the reason why <>nr arms are hunted out from the interior of a* public office and dragged from the walls, with out the shadow of cause for tlie indignity and our alliens taken in the peaceable and honorable discharge of their public duties, and dragged Use con victs from Sagua to the Havana, under a guard of sol diers. to the great injury of their business.. Arter being detained here a few days, Mr. Thompson is told that be can return to Sagua la Grande, but no Intimation given him that be will be compensated for the outrage; and while these things are being done, under tbe protection or lfagland, Era nee and Africa, the treaty between Spain and Eog land is violated in so open a manner tbat it is not po- sible to escape the attention of John BuU: but the difference. With the seed now strewn broadcast !n the land, the objection ceaaes. They will make excellent vo lunteers In two or three years, for service in Cuba or the peighlorlng coasts, as may be deemed advisable for the fruition of British policy. The San Jacinto, it was known, could only remain here a day or two, which caused the welcome of the Princeton and lta 'Eagle" u'der the belief that they would not put their hands with impunity upon him, to drag him from his ablp, for reason of the obnoxious name, worn in liocer by the noble sailor.

He was put in tbe "capilla" the 'Jlst, morning 'ollowingthe eonelu sim of I he verdict ? delivered to the hands of tbe exe cutioner, morning of the 241 ? and expiated tbe offence of which he was sii peeled, a few ininu es after seven o'clock A M.

I little thought when I cloned my last letter to you that I should again have occasion to mention the name of Ramon Pinto ; but circumstances that transpired af ter his brutal execution, exhibit in so strong a light the character of General Concha, who manifested his ven geance even upon the dead body of his victim, that I feel I should be wanting in my duty as yonr correspondent, were I not again to " write of the dead." You would scarcely give credence to the fact that positive orders were given not to permit the members of the family of Pinto to follow his remains to their last resting- place, and that it wss only hy a special personal application to the Captain General that a nephew, a son of his sister, who married General ? , was permitted to do so. Ihe body of Pinto was taken charge of by the "Hu mandad de la Curidad," a negro religious society, who narrowly searched thejeorpne? stripped it, I understand, to find any money or valuables upon it; but the brutes only found a- single segar in one of his pockets. Then the Captain General refused to permit the corpse of Pinto to be placed in one of the n'ebes in the wall that sur rounds the " Csinpo Santo;" and the body re its in the pan e hole ss that in which the remains of Narcisso Lopez were placed. Every effort was inado to induce Pinto to make dis closures tliat would involve other parties. The Chief of police went to him in t he prison several time* for that purpose ? on the last occasion about three o'clock In the afternoon of the lay preceding his execntion, wlen he was in capillo, making him an offer that his life should be spartd if he would make the disclosures; but the dying man nobly replied, "Do not pester roe? let me die as honorably as 1 have lived." When he was ascending the steps of the scaffold the attendant priest impressively urged the doomed man to make the desired disclosures; but, waving his fastened hands after the marner of Spaniards, he simply tald, ' No ! padre, no Within two minutes after uttering these words? which were bis la.-t, except those mentioned in my last letter ?he ceased to be or this life.

The reviling court can be aisemblei at any moment when it may be esteemed necessary to evade the legal adviser of this branch of the judiciary of the country ? the ever just and honorable "Auditor of War," who refuses to ssuction the use of vile convicts for the con struction of esses of their own denunciation ? or the sen tences that may he derived from them by the honorable gentlemen of the " commission." whose " sense of jus tice" sleeps w th the s words they wear? in tneir scab bard* - not to be driven to houest action, even, if ?eor plon like, they could strike back with the spurs they wear upon their heels. We liive just canght breath to ytt on in toil for our daily bread, with the hope to hear no more of military conmissinne," courts of correction, or Concha convictions ? when we are aroused again by the alarm that more justice i* about to be dene? after the last sample. 1h? trials of Messrs Felix and Estrampes, both citizens of the United Kate1, were ordered for yesterday, by General Concha, before the Military Comm s-ion, ami a commu nication of the intention was sent to the acting consul of the l otted States, invitingbim to be present at the trial. Tte consul went to the place appointed for the display of justice, afid Hiding the court not organized, *n<t the members of the augustbody amusing themselves as thry could, be drew a chair n?ar ? window, for the advantage ot fresh air. and seated himself. Ia a moment an officer of the court approtefced aod Informed him that it was not usual to admit strangers into the part of the bail whete the court was organized. Tbe consul replied that he bad no intention of intruding and could retire, bu- that he was invited by the Captain General of Cuba to be present at the trial of his countrymen, as the con sul of tbe United States. He was immediately informed thst a place was especially appropriated for his service, which, after several serpentine curvatures, he was biought to? behind the arrae ? a rat' a rat'? in tberanrof yellow? very yellow fever looking curtains? which made a convenient whispering screen for secret inquisitorial meMtgt*.

THE OUTRAGE ON THE AMERICAN VICE CONSUL AT SAGUA LA GRANDE. The reeent arrest by tbe authorities at Saras U Grande, of J. P. C.

Having written m recently u Tuesday last, I have not much to cay to-day. The Conferences at Vienna hare commenced. Prussia is not represented tneie. Of ceurie nothing reliable haa transpired as to what took place at the first meeting. A general opinion prevails that the new Emperor, Al exander II, will do what he can, without compromising his dignity, to ceme to terms of peace. The last words ?f Nicholas are said to have been advice to conclude peace. The dying Emperor avowed that he never believ. ed that the alliance between France and England would last. That was a great mistake. We have letters from the seat ef war ta the 4th March. The railway at Bai&klava was alrtady of great ser vice. lie this It is completed to the camp. The Freneh had a very serious brush with the Rus sians on the nif ht of the 23d February. The following is an account of it: ? It ii known that the Russians wire erecting important works of counter attack near the Malakoff Tower, to wards which the Trench linen were gradually appro* th ing nearer and nearer. Ah these works were likely to embarrans the French miner* and disturb the plan* of the allies, It wan resolved to destroy them, fo this effeet a portion of the Third division, under the orders of General Monnet, advanced daring the night of 'the 23d, and attacked the Russians in their intrenchmxnt*. The Russian*, much superior in numbers, made a valiant defence: but, notwithstanding their resistance and the fire of the batteries and vessel! in the port which bore upon the battle pound, they were driven out of their positions and the works destroyed. This, it appearx, was the tele ebjtct of this nocturnal expedition, an there was no idea of remaining in a position that could be swept easily by the guns of the port. The French relurned after accomplishing tbeir object, but not with out considerable Ions, estimated at 100 killed and 300 woutrded. Among the former there were seven or tight officers, and some twenty officers woundfd. General Moonet himself bad the thumb of his right hand shot off, and received a shot in his arm. The loss or the Russians, which must have been considerable, could not be ascertained. The reports of a great battle, in which Osten Sacken was wounded, &c., are all pare fabrications. No furthor attack has taken place in Eupatoria since the defeat or the Russians on the 17th Feb. what llenschikoff styles ' 'a reconnoiasance. ' ' Menschikoff has been recalled from the command in the Crimea. What ever may be his faults, his defence of Sebastopol was well managed, and the sinking of the ships at the en trance of the harbor saved that place. The news of the death of Nicholas had been received by the allied armies, but the effect produced npon the Russian army has not yet oored out The French have been throwing a new kind of rocket inlo Sebastopol, which has net it on Are in two or three places. Here all Is quiet enough, and the first warm days of spring have shown themselves. A letter from Rome, of the 6th, says The diplomatic eir< le here has recently sustained a freslr Ions in one of the most amiable of its members, w) Icath Huerct-de'l ttoheof the Mar?hesa I'ralormo, W a Bargagli, and Baronne d'Arnim. Mrs. Mary hi' rn I mulum. wife of the Minister of the United fct was yenterdaj -I natehed from life and from the a) tion of h*r relations by the bursting of a blood vessel in the head. She was near ber accouchement. Her vir tues, beanty, and unable qualities will make her me mory deeply regretted by all who knew her. tauis Napoleon has not yet left for the Crimea.

This event ban fallen with such stunning effect on the genera councils of Europe, that parties and individuals seea (lad of the momentary pause, to lay aside old manoeu vres, and take a fresh survey of the polioy of the day. A new starting point appeared to present itself. Every one has been busy endeavoring to solve the groat prab'ie a whether, hitherto, we have been fighting a system or a despot V and the balance of opinion among club-states men was, at the ou*ret, 'most decidedly in favor of the last. Lord Palmerston himaelf was at first disposed to believa that his old field of protocol was fairly reopened, and that the laurels he obtained after the French revo lution of 1830 were, after the lapse of a quarter of a'cen t?ryi ubont to bloom anew. I<ord Clarendon, we knew, caught up the ?traw, and fairly flew away with it ; but it Is understood that communications from Lord John Ruasell, at Vienna, have tended greatly to shade off the bright hues of first impressions, and to impart a severe, if not sombre, tone to the hopea or the future. As far as relates to the new Emperor's manifesto, every allowance limade for It, and its identification with the he fedltary poliey considered as a thing of course, whatever degree of modification m'ght afterwards occur. But i4 has, somehow or ether, ooxed out that Lord John has ascertained that whatever might have been the present Czar's reluctance to the commencement of hostilities once tbe sword drawn, his very existence prevents him from sheathing it, except at the triumphant cry of vic tory. With an understanding that he will give the im perial prestige to the prosecution of the war? that he will see St. Petersburg, hko Moscow, reduced to ashes, before, by acceding to peace, he takes a step in Russian retrogression? tbe whole Influence of the party repre sented by his brother Constantino is to be brought In support of the throne, and under tbe double Influence of a listless, mild, but diseimulative chief, and a stirring, active, talented, and arbitrary younger brother, backed by a majority in public opinion, Lord John thinks that the chances of a peaceful eolation are even farther off than during the lifetime or Nicholas. | While these views are floating up by little and little from tbe Austrian capital, public opinion at hom? is gradually of Itself assuming a shape and tone that indi cates a settled conviction that a struggle is about to ensue of a nature calling for many and bitter sacrifices for years to come It is observed that nothing has oc curred during the long reign of the law Cxar to change tbe normal and aggressive character of the Ruasian State ; that though be has greatly improved the millions he governed, morally anil socially, that he left his empire as he found It? a people still seeking for a local habitation and a nam*. It In observed, that while England, shcrn of all fcer dependencies, would be Eng land still ; that France, biiected and subdivided, would be France to the very nail, Russ'a present" the seat of her empire to the world-her capital of St Petersburg? a mere depot of lodgings ? of public ofBces ; tbat com paratively few females take up their abode In it, and that commerce, instead of establishing itself and becoming d* veloped and rooted in localities, as the nucleus of civilisa tion, is driven hither and thither, and rendered suV*r" vient to military convenience and gorerLment It U ob served that Russia is a mere aglomeration of Poland, Persia, Turkey, Tartar; and eastern desert, and that her very constitution seems to compel her to push onward to the standing ground of European civilisation ; the her colonies are military if not penal, and tha*. Turkey would have been safe to this day If the military settle meets in southern Russia did not at once supply the not posts, the recruits, sud the reserves for tbe armies en the Iianube, the Prnth, and the I'cbernaya. It is ob served that wnerever Russia has nut her foot she has never receded, and that blight and desolation soon fol lowed ; that Livonia, Finland, Lithuania, PoUnd, have all become withered or nipped up? all sank and their history olosed? and that whether the Cxar he .Nicholas Alexsnd.tr. or Constantino, this policy of Russia It and will be, th? same. Therefore, that the choice for Europe? for England especially? hoe between continued advance ment in civilisation, or submission under Russian en ercachment. The danger of French aggrandizement is alleged by some, and there i? a growing disposition to admit the objection; but tho answer is, wo have no choiee except to go forward lathis fight? punish tho aggressiv* cha rector and barbarian Imoeoce of Russia, even tbouah Franco and England fly at each other afterwards. Hn?l, an evil might ariee wLether Russia warn oppo*?d or not and If when we have battled together against the com' mo, foe we .hould afterwards fall out, at least tho con test will not find us unprepared. unexercised In arms aad ignorant of the resources of our foe. Rueeia-it is lh* f*U "f Greece; of Rome, under I he Gothic invasion; of the Haracens, uncor the Franks? mnst be made to keep her bounds, aad. If need be, diegorga tho nab cos she has devoured, anleee we are prepared to hand down England to our children tbe shadow of her former self. It is very true that Mr. Rright is tleteaed to, wh'le wi'h fluent aad unquestionably powerful oratory he d? clares we u? waning for an unattainable object? a, phantom of the very wildcat character? that tor the take cl the fall of tiebastepol and military renown, we are paying the price of education, civilization, morality, aay, even life itself -< hat we are plunging the eoantrw into pauperism of the very worst and molt oppreaaiA character? that the country la disgusted and be wiWitred, the House of Commons scarcely lew ae, and the government a perfect anarchy. But th-se are arguments which do not yet penetrate into the large midnle and thinking ciasars, who, with few exception-, are unanimous In the belief that the war is a most just and necessary evil, which. In justice to the common country, we have no right to refuse. lu the meantime, the state of our executive i? ene of deep anxiety. Lord Palmers ton's position ehows no signs of being stronger, and there are many who uredic> that it will fall vhen Mr Cornwall la wis comes for mod with his budget That the opposition are waiting to \T7 their strength on that occasion is generally believed, and it la thought, moreover, that Lord l'almerston will ejer' w? to make the financial proposition ?f suvfa a chancier ai m?y enable hi a If DMIssAfy, constitute it an appenl to the country. 1 have repented- 1 ly ac vised you that whenever that appeal did take plaes it was to be on a financial question, because in this onlj ia tberb a chance of weakemog the protectionist party, who are quite as ready to prosecute war ai the Primter himself The only question on which l^ini Palmers ton has sin<e bis elevation, appeared at all like hi- former sell* is bis defence of Sir Charles Napier, which has won him ?olden opinions. Tlie country ia slow to believe th*t Napier is unworthy of his reputation; and the diacove rles o* gross mismanagement in the army, incline it to sospect that if a searching inquiry were made, he wouM be found to have very just cause of oomptalut agaimU tliOM* whose duty it, was to s*e him adequately provided for the important expedition be commanded. Sir Jamea Graham, on the contrary, is by no mesna popular wi-.h the country ; and a tuspiuion prevail* that whenever th? correspondence is published, Mir Jamea will have tho worst of it. The Knight of Netherby has a peculiar ta lent for getting into hot water with hi* asso-iates. In 1634, he separated from t!ie whig* and disgusted every one by the personal spite lie flung Into lils oppeaition. You know, in England, we don't admit of the sameHoeni* aa in America: and when Sir Jamea aaid that Rngland had had all kinds of administration*, but never before '-a shabby one," and that Lord Brougham, after floun dering about In the mire of radicalism, had sunk ? oH shame ! ? into the lee* of the ballot ? he was thought to use very strong language indeed. He was e-iuaily via lent about the China war, till snubbed by the Duke of Wellington: and then there was bis "peeping" at the Post Office, as shown by Mr rbomaa Buncombe, member for Fins bury : and many other things beside. Altogether be is not the man to itraogle Sir Charles Napier, and Lord l'almerston had both the Houie and the oountry with him when giving the cold shouUer to bis former colleague. He declared that nothing which the gallant Admiral had done lately bad in the slightest degrea cbaoged his former opinion of him. There 1s no doubt tlie ('rentier has still his ey* upon the Admiral'* futur* services, should his administration hold on. He could n<* re appoint him to the Baltic fleet, because Sir Jamea l.'r.vt am, as First Lurd of the Admiralty, hid appointed Admiral Dundas? Admiral of th* very China expedition he once *o loudly condemned? just before his lata resignation. But unless death ? and he, too, ia a , septa - genarlan? intervene, "Old Charley" will still probibly | have another chance. t Commotion, it is to be remarked, seems quite the order of the day. Kiota in Australia and proclamation of martial law at the Ope, the prospect of another Cafflr war. Cuba is unsettled, and General Concba is busy imprisoning and garrotlng.

Dr. Gran ville wa* originally in the Neapolitan navy aa surgeon. His proper name is Bozrt, but thinking that of Granville more euphonious, and, to English ear*, aristocrats, he! adopted it. Being an Italian, ne managed, on first so -! ting up in London, in 1816, to pick up some little practice! among the opera singers then chiefly In vopae. FrumH there, he worked up his way among some ot the mem bers of the aristocracy, as a capital physician for strengthening the vocal organs, chest tones, Sc. Being a good looking man, and, above all things, a foreigner, he soon became famous He took a splen id hoese, gave magniflcect soiree*, at which bis singing friends from tho lta an Upera assisted, and rapidly got on. He (peat money infinitely taster than he male it, but his genilltH kept him above ?ster lie went to Russia lor a month, and came back and published its history, la two volumes!

The feverish state of the public mind respecting th^ absorbing quest on of peace or war, is evidenced ia ?v phase or society. The absence of any faithful channel through which the ebb and How of populur thought uij be recognised, cnusn it to gush forth in mott eceeoti jet?, now soaring up high in air, straight, clear, pel!u<| cid as truth itself? now twitting, spurting, gyratin and splashing its turbid stream in the face of eon sense, as it trudges on in ilail; routine, lhe roie , dU'gebt correspondent is, I weeu, ao to eatch up th^ salient sprav and condeuse it, that men afar ell may re all, without the trouble of inspection. It is perfectly true, then, that since I last wrote 1 Bourse has gone up on the report that the plenipotea| tinries at Vienna have commenced their prelin conference with the firmest persuasion of a peaceful solution; but it is no less trne, that the moment sal* began to be effected, the Bourse went down as rast as ll get up; and though the air is resonant with gaatlf breathings of courtly letters from Prussia, ef i plated mourning for the deceased monarch of Russi*, o| tender emotion* and oompunctious misgivings e f Aui tria ? the C tar's former fidtu Arhatri ? still, I confess see nothing that should laJuce any modification of mj previou-ly expressed opinions, that the elements of wan fare are precisely where they were, and that Europeaf convulsion has hitherto only been dallying on t,hl *hre?hbold. The dying request of thr late Russian Kmp?ror to b'J brother in law at Berlin, tha*. he would never forget t words of William the Third, his father? a request wh is said to have sunk deep Into tbeCi ng ef Prusaia'| heart? are the following: ?

His actions, however, are precisely such we see in every day life, when the animal temperas and the intellectual are too nloely balanced. Foj in stance, a difficulty suggested itself at Vienna about en taring upon negotiations. Alexander tbe Second had i yet bten recognized by Franc* or England. as severeif of Russia ; and it would have been competent for Pr?sM| when, at a future time, called upon to subscribe to result, to plead tbe informality, and so Invalidate whole prcceedings ; but King Frederick showed hin at once ready to remove this ground ef ciifllcnltjl I proposing himself to be the medium ef Alexander'^ . e- sion to tbe two Westtrn Oonrta, who, in acknov sent, will put on court mourning for tbe C?.ar. Thus all fear of the Vienna business having to be dene ove again, in consequence of a technical objection * taken away.
