Clarendon Treaty as amended by dbe Sehate continues to be the theme of much specu lation and remark on the part of newspaper 'corre sppndents from this city one of the most intelli gent and well informed of whom writes under date of the7th instant as follows: Presidential campaign for 1860 had hardly been opened by th Republicans when they were uucipectedli by the Ralmtrslon Government It trill be seen that the Republican presets re echo the denunciations of American slavery umcn nave lately been uttered by the tish Premier nnd unite with him in ''censuring the Senate for their presumption in refusing to become a 'party to stipulations the only object of which is to cast a slur upon the domestic institutions of the United States The chuf reason assigned by Lord Palmerston through his London organ for rejecting the Senate amendments to the Dallas and Clarendon treaty is tire recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the Dred Scott case whereby aa the article sets forth negroes who wera free while America was under British domin ion are now decided not to be citizens of the Republic This is a new point in our relations with England Ne groei who were British subjects ptiorto the Declaration of Independence are now disfranchised and declared not to be entitled to the privileges of American citizens Of course a restoration of people to their ante revolu tionary rights is to tee an issue Another reason is given howeverfor the rejection of the treaty in its amended form to wit that the Uni: ted States Senate had refused tobe a party to the stipu lations of a certain treaty between Great Britain and Honduras whereby it was expressly declared that slavery should never exist in the Bay Islands Thit the Dritieh I'remivr denounces as aa artifice of the Senate to promote the extension of slavery in these islands and he intimates that the British Government will not permit a solemn engage ment into which it had entered with Honduras to be ignored at the dictation of the Senate The reasons for rejecting the treaty were published only two days' before Lord Clarendon informed Mr Dallas of the decision of her Government adverse (o the treaty as attended by the United Slates p'There is one other objection of a more general na ture to the amendments to wit that they seem to be intended to destroy British influence in Central America A grand discovery It may bo doubted whether if is the intention of this Government to pursue this matter by further negotia tion The story that Mr Dallas will return and Mr! Marcy be sent out is probably without the least founda These statements it will be seen add nothing to our knowledge of the facts op considerations which are supposed to have influenced the British Gov ernment in coming to its deteraiination respecting the defunct treaty They consist rather in com ments and reflections which though put forth with the assurance of one who speaks by authority we must yet regard having no sufficient founda tion in the facts of the case so far as they are known to the public and which moreover if they should be generally credited could have no other effect whatever may have been the intention of the writer than to irritate and inflame the pub lic temper An analysis of the reasoning contained in the aUve letter will suffice we think to show that it is equally illogical in its premises and unjust in its conclusions In the first place we have the intimation that this I recent decision of the British Government is to be I regarded as a reinforcement by the Palmerston I Ministry of the litpublican party this coun I jflE PROPOSED CHANGE IN THE LAWS WAR Gen Lewis Cass Secretary of State Lbxtxr III Sib In my previous letters I have endeavored to show tijt liadoplion tho of the Paris Con fe cnee would operate only to change the manner inich the United: States could avail themselves ofiteir merchant marine for purposes of war whilst jerminaiion on the' basis of Mr MarcyJp pro )sal would deprive them entirely of that branch their belligerent resource" nnd so compel them to maintain a regular navy equal to the armaments of their chief maritime competitors or iu case of war Lid monopoly of commerce and and tlte(dominion of the to their enemy The necessary conclusion from this reasoning is that the adoption of tlie alone would be far less injurious to the imerests of the United States than its adoption with Mr Masa proposed a Idition and that as the de claration itself is acknowledged not to be reeommend bk or desirable to this country neither the one nor the Other plan ought to be adopted by il Mr Marcy assumes in his despatch to the Count dk SianfiKS and more emphatically in a late correspond jm'ee with some merchants of Baltimore that the ex emption of private property on the as on land mJ a consequent mitigation of the rigors of was die inducement to the Paris declaration and that his proposed addition to the declaration would complete and establish the beneficent It is also asserted by the only writer who Jis far as 1 I bro heard has undertaken to vimlicatelargumeutatively Mr proposition (I allude to Mr Law etxcs the learned editor of the late edition of ton's Elements International that the principle I which ought to govern the proposed change is that of aimmimity to the subject (i private property on the vcean) and not the regulation of the species of that may be used against it I have heretofore shown in a uuhiber of pieces on the subject that whatever may lzre been the purpose with which the was adopted by the diplomatic representation at Paris or whatever end Mr Maucy may have supposed that his proposition would attain neither tho one nor the other could have the effect which was assnmed to be their pur's pose That fact has been proved beyond disputation But it now further appears that the immunity of the saljeet was no pirt of the intent did not enter iaio the of the councils which led to the de lara'ion of Paris This is clearly shown in a speech in the House of Commons (9th March last) of the eminent statesman of Great Britain who himself participated in those councils as the representative of her Government Lord John RossetL not only does notsar that the exemption of commercial enterprises from the risks of war was a purpose of the declaration he announces the fact that such an exemption would increase the probabilities of nations entering into wir by tnkiny away one yreal reason for their remain up at i That fact was early perceived on this side of the water tad to my mind at least furnished an insuperable objec tion to the proposed change iu whatever form it could i presented If however any change is to be made undoubtedly the true principle that ought to govern it lAoulil be immunity of the species of property that is proposed to be exempted and not the regulation of the ehzracter of the forces by which if it were not exempted it might be attacked To effect this that is to effect the exemption of private property at sea as on the Palis declaration and modification of 'it' mast be amended so as to right of blockade aud abolish the distinction between what is called con traband of and cargoes that are held to be lawful llnh regard to the latter point a precise designation of the articles that shall be counted contraband is a deside ratum without reference to the proposed change iu bel ligerent rights But such a designation would not reach the object that is under consideration for as long as the ilmim tion exists between contraband aud lawful goods priiate property on the sea whether an or neu tral must be exposed to annoyance search delay in ka r' to the will of the attacking party The absolute abolishment therefore of that which after al is absurd for the supply of whatever want to a bel ligerent is an aid to him and the difference is in degree sar not in prinwaple together with an unreserved ab tterstion of commercial blockades are necessary to effect that exemption of private property on the sea which the hte Secretary of State seems to have flattered himself he bid provided for In ftict with all that added to the propMsuion of Mr Marcy it will not be difficult show American commerce and the intercourse social an commercial of the American States and people would still nut hast that nor enjoy theirhare uf any benefits thai it might confer Supposing however chat it were otherwise and that the rule evuld be rjade te operate equally then the question arises 111 fs it expedient that there shall be a complete afbsftmeni of the belligerent right to make captures of private property al sea As the only idea that has been advanced in favor of Air Marcy plan (beyond the suggestion that unless this country should yield to the concerted action at Paris it wotid be or that he has himself suggested is that of immunity to private property it ia obvious that Ue inquiry here presented is the proper odc and that the plan of Jr Marcy presents a false issue In txiis inquiry the question properly arises Whether the sune reasoning that commends the (professed but by no means true' in fact) modern usage of sparing as an operation of war the seizure of private property on land applies to and should lead to a like exemption on the Quean I have assumed the same reasoning is not applicable evefi admitting (which is not however in its 4ull extent yet a settled question) that tho reasoning is md a regards operations on land Thz re are various uf prosecuting warfare on land and gaining such anania in it as to make it

name wc may say almost with Out a figure js already known throughout the depths of ocean for it is by means' of his invention that lep soundings are now taken and that the soundings were made' for thei'Occan Telegraph illis reflections and suggestions on that (interest ing subject are entitled io great respect and we have no doubt that they will be' carefully consider ed by the officers engaged in laying down the cable There are some who doubt (he possibility of laying atelegraph cable across the Atlantiq I think it may be easily shown however that the eventual accomplishment of the project is much within lhe limits of probability It is true that we have but little experience in this kind of engineering yet in kindred branches there have been many interesting facts developed bearing directly upon this subject We know for instance that not unfre I quently four or five miles of small twine less than one I tenth of an inch iu have been veered into and dragged by heavy weights to bottom of the sea and that in some instances these lines have been recover ed from a depth of nearly Your miles Suppose that without attaching weights you were to pay this twine freely out and to run on with the'ship you might go from New York to Ireland and if the line were slack enough to meet the demands of diverse cur rents it would be unbroken This twine would require no regulating machiaerybut it would scarcely sink to lhe bottom i to i Now in some experiments in' tho Gulf Stream under the direction of Lieut Walsh six miles of steel wire were veered out and much of it was recovered before break ing I ou might then but for its too rapid descent spoil the ocean with a wire it would reach bottom quickly but would require the most minute attention and various appliances lo regulate its velocity and to guard against waste ro tnat what we require is to combine as it were (he strength of iron with the lightness of twine to con struct a cable that may be strewn uponthe water to find its way slowly to the bottom while the ship' runs at her highest rate of speed Thus the greatest resistance to the descent of the cable may be obtained and the tendency to slide away diminished This most favorable' of all Conditions is only limited by the probable strain arising from lhe action of unequal currents Gutta percha the insulating material affords a ready means of diminishing the specific gravity of wire cable Il is trueAhat in adding percha the surface expos ed to thq action of these currents' will be increased but (here is evidence of their absence atthe depth of a thousand fathoms This we learn by microscopic examination of specimens obtained from the bottom of the sea But apart from this there is a compensation afforded by the movement of the cable itself it will sink in the direction of its incliaation in other words it will run away from the ship in opposition to her course and this ret resting qf the cable may be its back It is evi dent that while this action tends to waste the cabled it will more than supply tfie demand of the current This back set which with a heavy cable presents the most serious obstacle with a lighter one becomes au ele ifieut of success It is the opinion of several eminent I men that the simple copper wire clothed with gutta I percnat most nearly fulfils the required conditions Bu there are certain contingencies liability to abrasion ffom the rolling of the ship and in veering it would even be endangered by the heel of abbot a hungry shark would cutit jn an instant is necessary tq protect the gutta percha The cable of the Atlantic Telegraph Coihnanv is com posed of seven copper conducting wires coated with gutta ppreha forming a core which supports in spiral coil some seventeen twisted strands of iron wire each composed of several smaller wires It remains to be seen in practice whether these vari ous materials have been most advantageously combined Suppose that the copper and iron wires were straight and parallel in that cose since the relative ductility of I these metals is about as four to five in favor of the cop per the iron wires would practically bear the strain re lieving the copper and this without regard to change of form in the core of gutta percha But in the cable now to process of manufacture the outer wires make two whole turns to the foot It becomes then a serious ques tion whether by strain or the pressure of five or six thousand pounds to lhe square inch the core will be compressed or altered in form The water penetrating be tween theiren wircswill surround each part of tho cable and on them individually exert its powers of compres sipn if tlie guttapercha yields the iron wires will become lopse will extend nnd the strain will come on the straiftlil copper drawing it and although it 'may yield twenty zper cent of its length without breaking any such pro cess involves risk It is stated that India rubber is less compressible than water and it may be inferred that gutta percha rerem bles it in that respect ns well as in some others But this comparative incompressibility of india rubber is only observed when that substance is entirely immersed but parts of the cable will be above water and as gutta percha is ot nearly the same specific gravity as water its longiLwUnal extension granting it incompressible will chieflbe restrained by adherence to the Copper wires tne outer wires will in some degree'elon gate with the gutta percha toils perfect form this cable possesses flexibility lightness and great strength it might be lighter with advantage To say that a cablew ill support six or seven miles of its length when suspended in still water con veys bufr a very general notion of its adaptability for a rope of specific gravity nearly that of water would support many more miles of its length when so suspended We tnqst take into consideration the fact that the cable is toa pertain extent toLe dragged laterally through the water the resistance from (his source will exhibit itself inthe sliding astern or back set before alluded to is this tendency of the cable to run in the direction of inclination which will render lhe operation of laving it difficult Perhaps til will be necessary to arrange the regulating machinery so as to indicate constantly the strain upon tho cable and then to veer no more than safety demands It has been observed in deep sea sounding that the lines have a tendency to I wist probably in part due to spiral character of surface it is usual therefore to attach I of the house had barely tiiue icape Tho loss will
