The incontinence of speech in "which American . public men freely indulge is very apt to mislead Euro? pean opinion. We are startled to read that a leading minister has ac? cused a power in alliance with his Government, or that a renowned general has expressed his eagerness for war. Were M. de Lavalette to declare that Austria should be expell? ed from Venice, or were Sir George Grey to denounce the French occupa? tion of Mexico, we should foresee that war Avas a question not of weeks, but of days. The leading officials of the United States, however, assume the rights without the reticence of office, and all do not feel that sense of mutual responsibility which binds the English Cabinet together. In the United States there is no Cabinet, properly so called The President is the real ruler, with so many head clerks to execute his orders. He may consult them separately or in assem? bly, fyvt none of the secretaries holds himself answerable for what is done "beyond his own department. We saw this abundantly exemplified during the late war; on the negro question, on the best mode of weakening the South, on the personal merits of the leading generals, the ministers freely differed and freely expressed their dissenting sentiments; until the di? vergency attained its largest limits when the Secretary of the Navy for? mally defended that seizure of the Trent which, a few weeks afterwards, was formally repudiated by the Secre? tary of State. If, therefore, we must make ample allowance for the ha? bitual unrestraint even of statesmen in America, when they meet their countrymen, we must be still more careful to minimize the importance of anything uttered by a military chief unaccustomed to polities and writing with a free pen. General Sheridan, who commands the Federal troops on the Bio Grande, is the author of a le jeer which was read at a recent ban? quet of Mexican Republicans endur? ing exile at New York; and here he j writes: "It is of no use to beat around the bush in this Mexican matter; we l should give a permanent Government to that Republic. Tho advent of Maximilian was a portion of the re? bellion, and his fall should belong to its history." The choleric words of the distinguished captain are startling enough as a programme, yet they in? dicate nothing but a campaign in air, projected by i is very hot and vigor? ous Irish brain. We must speak of the man-militarily-with great re? spect; he was the Desaix of the civil war, one of the few generals in his? tory who, joining an army defeated, re-won the lost battle on the spot by leading beaten troops to a victorious charge. But stout and able warriors are not always good politicians, and tlie Washington reply to this irrespon? sible rhodoinontade is an order to General Sheridan to muster out of service all his available troops. So ends his mad dream of crossing the Rio Grande. We can quite understand the obvi? ous motives of the Federal authorities in issuing the new order. In the first place, it is the interest of the United States to reduce at once the great ex ?ense of their still large military force, n the second place, we clo not believe tliat a single statesman at Washington entertains even the most remote idea of executing un intervention in Mexico. Mr. Seward knows very well-he had been told so distinctly* ?by the Empe? ror Napoleon's envoy-that war with Mexico means war with France, and President Johnson is not mad enough to bring on his hands a very serions foreign war before he has closed the accounts of the great internal strife. Still, we can quite understand that the presence of the new Emperor is tho? roughly hateful to all true Americans; we can quite l>olieve that Mr. Seward would not dissemble his joy, if some day Juarez were to rise again into power and send back to Mirama? a discomfitted and discrowned Emperor. We can also understand that if, with? out open breach of neutrality, some thousand Americans crossed th? Rio Grande and helped the Mexican mal? contents to expel the new Emperor, Mr. Seward would heartily rejoice, however he might express diplomatic regret at this violation of American laws and international obligations. The question is whether the "muster? ing out" in Texas will not help on un? authorized raids across the river boundary. A large army actually en? rolled can be held in hand, but how can Gen. Sheridan or Mr. Seward answer for disbanded soldiers paid out the day before? The dispersed Con? federates have swarmed across the line to help the new Emperor, taking his side simply because they feel tlint Maximilian is anti-Yankee by int?r?t if not by feeling; and dispersed Fede? rals may to some extent follow their track, taking, of course, the opposite side. But there is this difference-tim disbanded Federal soldiers have homes and friends, have offers of employ? ment elsewhere, and affection and in? terest draw them North. Stvihat Juarez must be very tempting indeed bef?reli? can keep the blue-coats from the "sweet embraces of their wives" and sweethearts, or from the glory and comfort awaiting returned braves, made much of in the welcoming cities of the Northern States. Of course, it is hard to tell how far the love of ad? venture, and three or four years' ha? bitude in the wild ways of war, may make men scorn those domestic delights signified and symbolized by one wife and two or three cups of tea; but we are, at all events, convinced that whatever troubles may arise on the Rio Grande will spring from reck? less individuals, and not from any action authorized by the United States. But, then, there is the Monroe doc? trine. True, we had forgotten Mr. Monroe ; our only excuse is that the Americans themselves had forgotten him first. In 1823, that gentleman was President of the United States, and Spain was then toying to re-con? quer her revolted colonies in the New World. England, led by Canning acknowledged the independence of th? colonies-"calling a new world ink existence," as that minister magnilo quently said-and the United State: did the same. At that time, Mr. Mon roe declared that attempts on the par of the European powers to extern "their system" to any portion of th? American hemisphere would be cousi dered by the United States aa danger ons to their peace and safety. This Ava rather ambiguous; but the Presiden went on to say that if any European power interposed "for the purpose o oppressing" the new States recognize! by the f vernment at Washington or interposed "to control their desti ny in any other manner," the Unite? States would-declare war? no-woul< consider the act ' 'the manifestation c au unfriendly disposition towards th United States." Yet at that vei* time such a case had actually arisen and was in course of transaction Spain was trying to re-conquer an "oppress" SUites AV hose independenc had been acknowledged by the Unite States, and yet in the next sentent Mr. Monroe avows his neutrality i the current war. What, then, dot this Monroe doctrine mean? ] is, we believe, the poetry of America politics-the glorious, blue, archiuf but inaccessible, sky to the brown bal earth of Yankee facts. Every natic has in its politics something impract cable, some out-look beyond the pr? bable and actual work of thc da; France dreams of the Rhine; Germar of a fleet; Russia of Stamboul; Ita] , of Rome and Venice; Hungary of Magyar king. The Monroe doctrine ?us now iirteiprfeted, means that every truo American would, if he could, plant a republic in Canada, in Mexico, in Brazil, even until thc whole conti? nent should bc republican, without ono trace of thc monarchical element. This, however,.goes beyond thc origi? nal doctrine of the estimable Monroe. He said : * 'With the cxiatingcolonies i or dependencies of any European, power we have not interfered, and shall not interfere." Tn this present August, the New York Herald "extends the wings of tho spread eagle to touch Canada and Cuba. But why argue the point ? Wc are always liable to the stern and washing retort that tho American is "a child bf freedom,'" and that "his bright home is in the setting sun." In very close wet weather like this, when the atmos? phere is simply one big tepid bath, none but an Irishman could argue against logic KO irresistible and a re? partee so sublimo.

Those reports originated in inte? rested motives, and when circulated, were known to ht; false by those who dissem i nated them. The continuance of the re? ports lias compelled me thus publicly to notice them, in the hope that they will now be stopped.
