grciicn the first day of its sitting, we may form
a pre V correct idea of whatwiilbe thtlr thar
acter during the remainder of the amnion. The
iMti oftd Qurtifon lkh shook Ue. Uidon Jp Jti
centre last winter is sgin to be' brought up, and
the public mind to be thrown into another fer
ment to gratify the wild ambition of a few men,
and to indulge the obtrusive and pernicious hu
manity of their humble imitators, who' know s
little of the southern states aTdllie'condinonrof
their slaves, as they do of-the-inhabitants of uno
ther sphere, and even, we might a.iy,of the con
stitution of the United States.
But we hope that the compromise effected last
session will be adhered to, uud Missouri, be ad
mitted on the same footing as the new state of
Maine. Certainly there arc patiiotim and good
sense enough in Congress to crush tlti ircticnal
jealousy which is reaiing its hateful head, and
threatening to destroy those kindly and brotherly
feelings which the different sections of the Un
ion should chemh towards each olhcrand on the
cultivation of which depend not only our happi
ness and prospei ity, but our exuteucc as a nation.

QUEEN OF ENGLAND.
The following extract of a k-ttcr, says the National In
telligencer, copied from the Huston Ct-miuel, appears to.
us to place in its true light the q'irsUon rcspccfii. the
Queen of Great-Britain, which so much agitates that
country, and excites a great deal of interest in U. :
KITBUT Or A LITTIR.
" Losnojr, OCT. 2. The true motive of the-State I'ros
ecutiou which so much agitates this nation, is not known
abroad. It is more political than frrt;iiai. The (Jmn
Contort has great power, revenues, and palroine, inde
pendent of the King. This, and other circiiir.sunces
nuke her an invaluable rallying point of 0)crh'on.
They know if she is not kifivutti,.tiic. min'stcrs must
shortly bo wifnrsrd. The ministers kn.iw tin also; and,
having dead n.ajoritica in both Houses of Parliament, it
is easy to calculate, that the bill will pss tliem both.
The king savs he does not care a straw whether the di
vorce clause' is passed or not, as he is resolved never to
live with her."
EUROPE.
mOtt TUB 5ATIOXAL HtXCTTX.
In the Lcttm .X'ortnandet, published at Paris,
a work which is considered as the substitute of
the Minerve suppressed some time since, we
find the following representation of the character
of the struggle supposed to be about to become
general in Europe. It is one of the leading Lib
erals who writes :
44 The revolution of Naples, the revolt of Pa
lermo, attract all attention, fix the eyes of Eu
rope upon the countries wivvc the ancient vol
canoes of the physical creation still burn, and
from which a spark seems at this moment to be
emitted which may kindle the volcanoes of the
political world.-"AH interests are awake erect,
armed, and in a hostile attitude; the old jolicy
arrays and drills ignorance and inveterate Tre ju
dices the ncw-pwvokes-Hnd Hceleratcs-the
progress if liberal ideas. If the battle: should be
joined, the strife would be terrible.
44 Hut is there no way of preventing the onset?
Is there no practical compromise fitted to con.
ciiiatc all interests ? Are not constitutional mon
archies, equally favorable to authority and liber
ty I Arc they not, at thVsrrme lime, the guar
anty of the l ights of the people and the Stability
of the throne ? Yes, undoubtedly : but what ad
vantage, do they hold out to aristocracy ? This is
the question : It IV Tor or against aristocracy
that Europe seems about to fly to arms : In this
war, Tiings are but auxiliaries.
44 'rhcnittioris wish arnl ask for Constitutions t
that is to sav, they desire that the dominion of
law should be substituted to arbitrary rule, or at
leist to traditions and uqwritten laws. Those
styled rcvolutiotiibts, call for solid institutions ;
they aim at a durable; deftimte order of things,
which shall put crowned-heads beyond the haz

WAsiuKOTOK ctTT, U.
Under the proper head the reader will find an
account of the organization of the Senate on yea
terday, and of the proceedings which took place
in the House of Heprr se'ntatives.
It will be seen that, ow ing to the diverse inter
ests which came in conflict, the house did not
succeed, after seven VjliRs m making choice
ofi Speake It Is af, Jnt, from an inspection of
me uuio iua, inaicuc oiu ummeiiuu ui )
have been broken' down. on thl occawion ; und
that the votes do not indicate the strength of any
hitherto known party in the house or the country.
Thr number of ballotings is without precedent
in the House of Representatives, but not without
precedent in the Senate; iii which "body, on a
late occasion, there were eleven ballotings before
a choice was made of a President.
The balloting will recommence to-dny. How
it will result, no man can pretend to foretell ; but
it is quite povublc that intermediate an ivals of
members may have on influence on the choice,
ihr house, being far from full. At 3 o'clock yes
terday, nearly fifty members wtre yet absent.
Owing to the unusual state of things in the
House of Representatives, the Messane of the
President may not be delivered as early as has
been customary, if at all to-day. ut. Intel.
