We understand from good authority, that the frends of Mr. Tyler in this city have at length broken ground, in rather a private way thus far, but ina few days they will be before the world, and openly make the commencement of the grand movement which they intend shall exercise a most important and effective bearing on Mr. Tyler’s chances for the next Presidency. ; On Tuesday evening last, a primary meeting was held in Washington Hall, consisting of the friends of Captain Tyler in this city, at which a very warm and eloquent discussion took place on the present prospects of the country—the present position of parties—and, particularly the present position and prospects of Captain. John Tyler tor the succession. ‘A number of very respectable citizens attended this meeting, having been called together by private printed notices, issued by the friends of the ad- ministration, and moved thereto by the recent cir- cular issued by Juhn Jones at Washington. After a very thorough discussion of the various questions of the day, and the chances of the prominent can- didates tor the succession, the meeting adjourned to meet again on Friday evening of the same week. On that evening, accordingly, there wasa second meet- ing if the same persons, with an additional infusion, consisting of a number of the friends of Mr. Cal- houn and others opposed to the nomination of Mr. Van Buren at the Baltimore Convention. The ve- nerable Barnabas Bates was called to the chair, and a distinguished young statesman named L, G. Gay selected as Sccretary. George D. Strong, Peter Smith, Jun., JamesL. Graham, Andrew McLehose and some dozen highly respectable citizens of all parties were present. At this meeting a lon- ger and more remarkable discussion took place, on the relative position of public affairs dard, has arrived from Havre, with advices to the Cabinets, “An article recently inserted in a St. 10th ult. inclusive. ‘ Petersburgh journal, concerning the Prince Cotton in Havre was firm in price. fe Wasa, confirms this Positions a it will i t i intelli, i ye remembered that the Emperor o! The most important pieces of intelligence by this | Ruseia ried one pf-bierdaveljers rye i packet, is that the French government have most probably given up their “ Trans-Atlantique Steam Ship Line.” Jt appears by the papers, in which the subject has been fully discussed, that in consequence of the enormous expense the government have incurred in building the fortifications round Faris, and in the anticipated expense in their numerous railroad projects, they have no money for ‘ uncertain” mecetanien, no matter how important these may ie. This fact is a curious one, and does not speak in the highest terms of the enterprize of the French government. It exhibits, however, the policy of the existing dynasty of France In the construc:ion of the immense fortilications round Paris, and in the covering of France with railroads, running to all points, we see the deter- mination of Louis Philippe to fasten the Orleans branch of the Bourbon family upon France through alltime. it such a thing be possible in such a coun- try. With the fortifications, which are really of a most stupendous character, and the lines of rail- roads shooting, when finished, in every direction, entirely under the control of the government, they can at once put down an émeute that any tumnituous assemblage of people in that excitable country may create. So far as this goes Louis Philippe shows a little foresight for himself and Count de Paris, but the stoppage of the trans-Atlantique steam ships before they make one puff across the ocean, exhibits a want of enter- prise and an indecision in a most important move~ ment that neither the Russian, nor the American, nor the British government would be guilty of. ‘The Commerce announces that on Wednesday evening, 7th ult., a long conference took place Frederick of Hesse, heir presumptive to the crown of Denmark. For the present, the death of King Charles John will have no real influence on the aflairs of the north of Eurepe ; perhaps the internal government of Sweden will feel the effects of it, and the Opposition will increase its accusations. As far as foreign countries are concerned, Prince Oscar would ascend the throne without opposition. It remains to be seen what re:ult will attend the idea of a Scandinavian Union which world bind together Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, a pro- ject which 1s in advance of the present tme, ani which, like all other extensive ideas, appears at present under a very confused form.” A letter from Constantinople of the 23d ult., in the France, contains the followin . _ The same fanaticism and dislike to the Chris- tians continue to manifest themselves here, The coffin of Boghos-Bey, the Pacha’s Prime Minister, has been hooted by the crowd because he was an Armenian. On the day of his funeral the various Consuls proceeded to his residence, buttound that Turkish authorities had made the religion of the de ceased a pretext for not attending. The death of this Minister is an event of some importance to Egypt,as he was justly deemed remarkable for histalents »s a financier. He was the oldestof the Pacha’s offi- cers, having been 35 years in his service. His death has proved that he was disinterested in his efforts to improve the condition of the country, as he died without leaving any property behind. It is only Habs to state, when Mehemet Ali heard of the in- sult offered to his old servant’s remains, he ordered amost strik i their bands ing reparation. Two battalions, with playing, and all the authorities, were directed to proceed to the tomb of the deceased, and there perform the salamelic (a kind of compli- mentary salute.) A distribution of provisions to the poor was also ordered in honor of the occasion. and the Armeni:;n Church, which the deceased had established, to be kept up, and the priests paid from the money of the State. The Pacha also wrote a very severe letter to the authorities for presuming to show any disrespect to the deceased.” | The following from Pera, 17th ult., we find in’ the and public men, and a variety of new views were put forth, stating the vantage ground which Mr. ‘Tyler would possess asa candidate for the next Pre- sidency, in consequence of the new position of the Oregon and Texian questions, creating a great ex- citement throughout the country and in a measure laying aside all the old political topics of the day. The views taken by this new party willprobably be very curious and seem to be founded on a pertect knowledge of the movements taking place by the Executive at Washington, in reference to some of the most important foreign questions ofpolicy, on which a great excitement may certainly be expected before many months are over. It is now assumed as be- ing the destiny of this republic, that her power will be incomplete and civilization restricted, until her institutions of all kinds be spread from the Isthmus of Panama at the South to Hudson Bay at the North, and from the shores of the Pacific to the shores of the Atlantic—thus embracing the whole of North America and forming the North Ame- rican Republic, comprehending within its wide- extended arms all the British Possessions in the North and all the Texian and Mexican territories in the South, asfaras the Isthmus. This is believed to be the ultimate destiny of this republic; andthe foolish and vain outcry raised against any exten- sion of the present territory, on the ground that it is already too large, is regarded as fallacious and ridiculous, for it is at once set aside by reference to the little Island of Great Britain, which possesses and governs a wider space and more extended em- pire in the old world. Why should not the Anglo- Saxon republic of the new world do as large a business in the way of territory and conquest, as the Anglo-Saxon monarchy of the old world ? In process of time then the events of the age will bring about the annexation of the Cana- das down to Hudson Bay, and the whole of Mexico to the Isthmus of Panama. But for the present it will be sufficient to confine their views to Texas and Oregon, and on those ques- tions, it is supposed by the friends of Captain Tyler, that the popular excitement throughout the coun- try will be so great, and that the opposition of Mr. Webster and his allies will be so headlong as com- pletely to dissolve all parties; create a new issue and introduce an altugether new state of things, which will increase his chances for the Presidency beyond all previous conception and all previous hope. With these views generally guiding the new organization in favor of Mr. Tyler, we under- stand that in a week or a fortnight an address will be issued to the people of this city, sign- ed by seventeen delegates, one from each ward of this city, calling together a State Conven- tion at Albany or Utica, on the 25th of April or thereabouts, and investing them with the power of selecting delegates for the Baltimore Con- vention on the 27th of May, there to meet the al- ready chosen delegates from Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Such 1s the position which the new organization of the Tyler party have taken. Such are the prin- ciples and views on which they act, and such is their determination to carry it out into fall force at avery earlydate. We await the issue. But these factsare ail correct and to be depended on. We ought to add, however,that to all these movements, the leading office holders here, Edward Curtis, Si- las M. Stilwell, Ogden Hoffman, and others, are all resolutely opposed. The best policy of Mr. Tyler would be to remove the whole batch, and put oth- ers in their place, who have cultivated the cardinal virtues of gratitude and fidelity with more success.

The Courrier Francais ccntains a letter from Athens of the 19th ult. which says:—‘* The Nation- al Assembly, on the 15th, entered upon. the discus- sion of the Constitution, as drawn up by the com- mittee. Three sittings were devoted to the consideration of the first two articles, which re- late to religion, and form the first chapter of the constitutional charter. They were both adopted with very trifling amendments. They declare that the pre- dominant religion of Greece is that of the Eastero Church of Christ—that all other established reli- gions are authorized, and exercise ot their worship protected hy the laws. Proselytism, and every other intervention against the predominant church, are forbidden. The Orthodox Greek Church is declared to. stand alone, and is to exercise its sovereign rights, independ ently of every other church, being at the same time overned by a synod of bishops. ‘The Minister of >ublic Worship, M. Michel Shinas, maintained with great zeal a proposal for placing the national church of Greece under the dependance of the Pa- triarch of Constantinople, who is known to be de- voted to Russia; but the national party, represent- ed by Messrs. Coletti and Mavrocordato, ultimately prevailed. The part of the constitution relating to the order of succession to the throne has been moditied by the addition of an article, which de- clares that, in default of male descendants, females may ascend the throne.

The Débats has an article on the iast accounts from the United States, in which it again exhorts the Americans to redeem their character in the ci- vilized world by adopting the old adage of “honesty is the best policy,” and paying their debts. The Débats anticipates that this will be done almost immediately by the State of Pennsylvania, and that the example will be followed "by the other States which have broken faith with theircreditors. It repeats the arguments which it had formerly ad- duced to show that they can pay almost without a sacri and that it is equally to their interest as to their honor not to delay. The three great lines of railroad which have been completed in France have cost, with theirma- teriel, says the Moniteur Parisien, an average of 360,000f. per kilometre, viz. 1,440,000f. league of four kilometres. The road to Orleans, which is132 kilometres in length, cost 50 millions of francs, be- ing 370,000f. per Kilometre ; that ot Rouen, 128 ki- lometres, cost 50 millions, being 390,000f. per kilo- metre, and that of Strasburg, 140 kilometres, 45 millions, beiag 320,000f. per Kilometre. This ex- pense, although considerable, is far from equal to that of the three lines in the environs of Paris, viz. the two Versaillesroads and that to Saint Germain, which form together a length of 56 kilometres, and cost 900,000t. per kilometre, or 3,600,000f. per league.

The present ministry had appointed him commander of the dis- ciplined custom house corps of Valencia, but not considering himself adequately recompensed for his services, he eecrey conspired, at the same time scraping together ull the money that he could ob tain from parties engaged in smuggling for allow ing their goods to pass free of duty. “Ane minis- try, however, got some inkling of his proceedings, and thought ot dismissing him, but Bonet had so well established his reputation for fidelity to the government, that the general commanding in Va- lencia did not hesitate to answer for his good con- duct. cle had been sent with the troops which he atterwards made use of at Alicant, on an expedition to visit the landing places on the coast, and particu- larly the little port of Benidorme, a noted repair of smugglers. ‘Throughout hia journey, Bonet’s only care was to get as much money as possible from the smugglers, avoiding most carefully any spot where their goods might be fallen in with. en he had arrived at Benidorme, he spread a report that he was sent to disarm the national guard, to arrest the liberals, and 1e-establish tithes and seign- orial taxas.

Dear Str:— Dhasten to inform you of the result of the trial of Hall, Robert and Bell, for the murder of Mrs Bacon. The testimony closed last night, and the counsel were to.sum up this morning. The train of éevidenee was so strong that it left but little doubt of the conviction of all of them, Hall saw this, and during several twinges of conscience, he sent for his counsel about 8 o’clock last night, and made a complete confession of his guilt—that he, and he alone was the one that perpetrated the horrible deed. Hisconfessionthas not yet appeared in an authenticated shape, but itis as follows: — He had contemplated the act about six weeks revious to its perpetration; he went tothe house of acon ; went into the kitchen ; Mr. Bacon was not at home, and Mrs, Bacon not in the room at the time ; he went to the desk to get the money, and as he was doing this Mrs. Bacon came in ; he instantly seized a chair and struck her, but did not hurt her much the firat blow, but the second blow fetched her to the floor, where she laid insensible ; he then took out his pocket knife and stabbed her in the breast, the blade hitting a rib which forced it shut, and cnt his hand ; he then went to a butte- ry and gota butcher kuife, and stabbed her seven times in her breast; he then went to the desk again and took all the money he could find, which was about $80; left the house, and hid it in the barn where he jived. ahi confession was ning the States AuaEeY, made last night ; this mor- Mr. Tyler, went to the lace described in the barn and found the money belore the trial proceeded. He then came into Court, and told the jury of the contession and of his entire conviction that it was true. The jury were so charged by Judge Williams that they ac- quitted Roberts and Bell. The Judge then, in a brief but eloquent manner, sentenced Hall to be hung on the 20th of June next. Erastus. Circuit Court. Before Judge Ken! wr of Matthew Smith, hard M Hoe, sur ‘his was an action of replevin. facts are shortly these. In 1836 or 1837, Jared W. Bell executed a mortgage for $12,000 on all his propert to Hoe & Smith. About the same time, aman named Drahiam Voorhies obtained a judgment against Mr. Bell, issued an execution upon it, and levied on Bell’s property. ‘The plaintiff and his partner brought ‘an action of replevin immediately. and was tried on the 10th October, 1838, and the plaintifis were nonsuited on the ground that they could not explain to the satisfaction of the presiding Judge why they allowed the Property tones in in the possession of the mortgagor. The rule of law under which the Judge nonsuited the plaintiffhad been shortly after reversed by the Court of Error, andthe case was again tried in 1841 ‘The defence on the second trial was that plaintiff's mor- gage was fraudulent, and made for the purpose of covering his property from his creditors; and, in addition, he offer- ed to prove that Bell executed mortgages to other persons of the same property subsequent to he execution of the mortgage to plaintiff, The Court ruled this last evidence out, and the jury found verdict for plaintiff. To this erdict exceptions were taken, and it was ultimately set aside by the Supreme Court on the ground thet the Court below thould have allowed the subsequent mortgages to be read in evidence. The case now comes up. to be tried a third time, on the e state of fucts, the Pipe bein, allowed te give in evilence the mortgages above menti ed. The Court he Jury that it was long discussed in the Courts of law in this country, about the porseasion of pe property; that it was the opinion both here jin England, that possession of the property by the mortgagor was evidence of fraud, and the Courts non suited the plaintiff. The question is now settled, and it is decided thet the question of fraud between the mortga gee and mortgagor must be left to the Jury, and the only stion in this case was whether the mortgage to plain- tiff'and his partner was executed in good faith; if so, they should find for plaintiff; if they thought otherwise, they should find for defendant. Brady and Bloomfield for plaintiff; Mott and Blunt for defendant. U. 8S. Cireult Court.

The brokers are much alarmed at the tone of the accounts from Wash- ington, and feart!enews will continue to operate on the price of securities, both real and fancy, very unfavorably. United States 6's declined 1} per cent; Ohio 6’s 24; Har- lem 3; Long Island 3}; Farmers’ Trust 1}; Pennsylvania 5's}; Kentucky 6’s9; Hlinois 24; Norwich asd Worces- ter 2; Indiana 2; Mohawk 2; Canton 1}. The sales were very large, and the disposition to get rid of stocks appear- ed to be very general. ‘There has not been a bluerday in Wall street fora long time, and the brokers are taken by surprise, not anticipating so greata decline. Wall street presented aperfect panic. Ohio 6's were affected very much by the accounts from Ohio relating to the new banking law. The Bank of Louisiana has deslared a divident of three per cent, payable to New York stockholders at the Mer- chants’ Bank, on the 20th inst.
