NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Monday, October 20, 1845. The Naval Heroes of the Last War—Commo- dore Stewart and Mr, Ingersoll. We give, on the first page of ths day’s paper, a very remarkable production, written by a remarka- | ble man, and brought out at a very curious period of ume. This is the refutation by Commodore Stew- art of various alleged misrepresentations, reflecting | on his early career in the service of his country, | which are contained in ‘the first volume of a “ His- tory of the War of 1812,” recently published by the | Hon. C J. Ingersoll. Mr. Ingersoll professes to give an accurate and | impartial description of the events of that memora- ble period, and to do full justice to the characters who then played a conspicuous part in the great the- atre of action. Several errors have, it appears, been allowed to creep into the work—errors of an impor- | tant character, and calculated to cast dishonor on the reputation of the living and the dead, and par- ticularly upon Commodores Bainbridge and Stew- art—two of the most distinguished naval officers who contributed to the splendid successes of the American arms on the ocean during the last deci- sive struggle between the U. States and Great Bri- tain. Some of the newspapers of this city took up the subject and found tault with the history, en ac- count of these errors, to which we have thus in gen, eral terms aliuded. And now Commodore Stew- art himself has very properly undertaken the duty of vindicating his reputation, which has in his opinion been mostungenerously assailed, and in a newspaper of this city, published on Saturday last, the statement which we have transferred to our columns, not only asa matter of justice toa distinguished man, who has done the State some service, and that in an hour of extreme peril, but also because the gallant Com- modore gives a variety of exceedingly valuable and interesting details relative to his personal relations | and connectio,nwith the administration on the com- | mencement of the war. In every point of view, | then, this letter will be read with interest. Every | day the heroes of the last war are going the way whither have now proceeded almost ajl the mighty | men of valor and patriotism who survived the war of the revolution. “ Old Ironsides,” as he is called, is one of the most prominent men of the late war, still in | the land of the living—hale, energetic, vigorous, and full of the same spirit which actuated him through- out that era, so fruitful of glory both to the country and himeelf. One of the most singular results of the publication | of the history and of the controversy growing out of it, regarding the facts, may be the turning of the history, and glorious naval victories. To such an | extent may this feeling operate that we may have, in | former. on the pianolorte—makes his first appearance to- | a short time, one of those naval heroes occupying | the chair of the Chief Magistracy. Apparently | this controversy, growing out of Ingersoll’s book, | has reference only to the reputation of Com- | moderes Bginbridge and Stewart, but we should not be at all surprised to see from its/ashes, a feeling arise and spread throughout the country, making Commodore Stewart the most prominent candidate for the succession after Mr. Polk. Indeed, we are not sure but the gallant Commodore is not as well | fitted for that position as any man that could be | named. The situation of the country 1s peculiar. | In consequence of the critical position of the Oregon | *™ongst whom a perfect furor has been created by Tem. | A ; | queetion, we may be on the eve of a war with one | of the greatest naval powers in the world. In such | an event, the crisis would be tremendous. For many years, past the covntry has been ruled by | politicians of second and third rate calibre, with now | and then a master spirit getting into the cabinet, but | hardly able to remain long enough to stamp with his own character that of the administration with which | he was connected. The public mind now appears to be turning to the great men who have done ser viee to the country by substantial deeds of valour, and the result may be a wide spread desire to see | the White Houre graced by one of those naval he- roes who distinguished themselves so nobly in the last war. Such, then, is the interesting and critical period | at which this curious controversy relative to the his- | tory of the war of 1812 has arisen. Public attention | will be directed with fresh intensity and interest to | Commodore Stewart. A great crisis in the foreign | relations of the country may be nearer than is ima- | gingd. ‘Old Ironsides” appears to be fitter than any man we have heard named, for meeting such a crisis, as the Chief Magistrate of the Nation. Who can say that he may not occupy that important posi- tion ? Tue “Sgounar Press” anp THE RELIGiovs Worip.—We give to-day a full report of a very in- teresting lecture delivered at St.Peter’s Church, last evening, by Dr. Power. The subject 1s one of obvi- ous importance, and recent movements in this city He played last Saturday evening at one of the most | connected with the reading of the Bible in the schools, have invested it with additional interest. We approve highly of the temperate and Christian | tone which characterise this lecture. This was | and some of our merchant princes; we even noticed | 'n the colonial lines, the rage being confined to the | characteristic also of the lectures delivered at this one or two distinguished political characters, who | same place last season by Dr. Pise. Religious con- | troversy and discussion appear, indeed, to be now conductrd in a mueh better spirit than formerly. The Brownlees, and Cheevers, and Moriartys, and Late anp Isrrortant From Port av Painor. By the arrival of the brig Forest, from Port cu Prince, we are in receipt of papers up to the 28h ult. The news contained in them is highly impor- tant, and gives details of a further insurreetion that had taken place in favor of Herard, the former President. We learn yerbally from Capt. Drew, ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP HIBERNIA, SEVEN ODAYS LATER that an out6reak took place at Leogano about the | F RO M P E U R O P E 5 25th ult., which was headed by some of the leading citizens of Port an Prince, for the special purpose of deposing the present government, and re-in- stalling Herrera. Timely information of this | movement was, however, conveyed to the govern- ment by one of the rebels, who turned traitor to his party, and troops were immediately despatched to the place, and some forty of the leaders captured, twenty of whom were summarily shot, and out of twelve who vnderwent a trial, nine were con- demned to a like fate, but were awaiting the orders of the President. All the citizens of Port au Prince had been order. ed on duty as soldiers and police. For two weeks previous to Capt. Drew’s departure, no business had been done, and for some days the stores had been closed. During the insurrection, an English steamer ar- rived at Port au Prince, where she remained till everything was quiet, when she proceeded to Jamai- ca. {t was supposed that Herard was on board. A strong ferce, both by sea and land had been col- lected by the Haytiens, for the purpose of attacking the Dominicans. The government on the 28th ulto. issued a strong proclamation, full of confidence im the people, thank- ing them for their co-operation, and declaring the revolution at an end. A new tariff had been passed, considerably ad- vancing the export duties on logwood and coflee, the first at $29 per thousand, and the latter $16 per ditto. American produce was very plenty, and sel- ling low. Common Counci.—Both Boards will meet this evening. They are ekeing out their term without giving us the “reforms” which they promised the people of this-city, in honeyed accents, on their go- ing into office. As we are on the eve of the elec- tion in November, it is to be hoped that the streets, at all events, will be cleaned to enable the voters to go to the poles. The present Corporation will have to ‘look out,” unless they set to work ere the winter sets in, and give the citizens some relief, to rid us from the crying nuisances we have re- peatedly pointed their attention to. It is to be hoped 1t is not yet too late. ‘Theatricals.

We are | most positively convinced that the furore, which | will be created by the transcendent power of this matchless genius, will be without a parallel, and will | surprise nobody except the object of it. We judge | so from the extravagant praises bestowed upon him by all our New York artists from the first tothe last. interesting parties we have ever seen; it was a soirée d’artistes, principally consisting of musicians, painters, Jitterateurs, physicians, lawyers, editors, have held high diplomatic offices.

FIRMNESS IN THE CORN MARKET PERILOUS CONDITION OF THE HARVEST. Inactivity of the Produce Market. Increase of the Railroad Mania, O’CONNELL ON THE WING, MARKETS, Se., Se. We received at half past one o’clock this morning, by Government Express, our regular files of Europe- an journals, brought by the Hibernia. The news— a general resume of wh'ch we give—will be found of unusual interest to all classes of citizens, but more especially to those engaged in commercial and agricultural pursuits. The Hibernia was telegraphed from the station ot the Merchants’ Exchange, Boston, on Sunday mor- ning, at 45 minutes past 6¢’clock, at which time she from Boston. . She arrived at her wharf in East Boston, at 9} o’clock, bringing seven days later news from Eu- rope, and making her passage in fifteen days. She sailed from Liverpool on the 4th inst. The Hibernia brought out 87 passengers. The arrival of the steamer Caledonia, occurred on Sunday, the 28th ult,, after an excellent voyage of eleven days and a half, including her stay at Hali- fax. Ship Stephen Whitney, arrived on the 30th. On the 8d instant, at noon, the Massachusetts, with auxiliary screw propeiler, arrived ; and Jate on the 4th, they received, by the Great Western, papers to the 18th ult. Washington Irving had not arrived at Paris on the 30th Sept. The Corn market continues firm: and the fine weather which prevailed last week at the sailing of the steamer, having been followed by repeated and heavy falls of rain, the market, in the early part of the present week, acquired additional firmness, and continues so, with a slight drawback, at the present time. Large quantities of Flour are daily arriving from the United States and Canada; and from the | nature of the advices recently sent across the Atlan- tic, the supaly from those quarters, there is every reason to believe, will increase. From the causes at which we glanced in our last publication, the im- port rate on Wheay has advanced to 18e—the result of the inferior qualitiesthrown on the market. The import duty on flour is now 10s. 10d. per bar- rel Ingome instances, recently, Irish flour has re- ceded Is. per sack, and Canadian 6d per barrel, in- fluenced by the large arrivals from the West, which amount, since Monday, to nearly 9000 barrels.

Whilst thus adverting to the improved tone which begins to characterise the contreversial efforts of the clergy, we may take the opportunity of referring to one great instrumentality in the production of this happy change—that is, the newspaper press. ‘That that great agency has been brought to exercise « salutary bearing on the religious world, is now ad- mitted even by many of the clergy themselves, Dr. Skinner has recently made a public acknow- ledgment of this fact, but he omitted to state the origin of that movement on the part of the secular press to which he has the sense and honesty to as- cribe results highly advantageous to the cause of Christianity. The first newspaper that attempted to give reports of the yeligious movements of the day andghe religious anniversaries, was the New York Herald, about six years ago. We employed reporters to attend the meetings and furnish accu- | Tate reports, ‘The first result of that piece of enter- | prise was the most unmeasured abuse from some of the religioniets themselves, who berated the Herald 48 being every thing that was vile, and why? Be- cause it actually had reported their speeches with | fullness and accuracy! Foremost in that extraordi- nary movement was the Rev. Dr. Tyng, now of He delivered a speech in the Tabernacle, which was accurately reported by us in this journal, and for that awful offence he abused us in the most unmeasured terms. We have continued this system of reporting all the religious movements of the day, and have at last driven other newspapers into the same meritorious work. At this late day, some of the clergy, Drs. Cox and Skinner, have the candor to acknow- ledge the value of our efforts; but from the great mass of the priesthood, we have received nothing but abuse. Drs. Pise and Power are also to be in- cluded as amongst those who appreciate the import- ance of such newspaper; enterprise. In fact, in this | way the cause of religion may be more advanced | than by the pulpit itself, which has, unfortunately, | too often been one of the greatest obstacles in the way of the spread of the pure, simple, and ennobling | principles of the Gospel, preached by Jesus Christ and his Apostles. Law Courrs—Poity Bopine.—The courts will be all in session this week except the Oyer and Ter- miner. The case of Polly Bodine, which it was | expected would come up before Judge Edmonds, this day, has been postponed indefinitely. The ill- ness of Mr. De Witt, one of her counsel, has been | elated as the ostensible cause such as | | shakes that ever fell on human ears, when there | wasan universal rush towards his magnificent in- strument—his inseparable companion and a wonder in itseif—and involuntary exclamations of delight and astonishment fell from all lips. After an intro- | ing beauty and delicacy,he play- | duction of unsur| ed the air with the most astounding variations, and when he had executed one ot his mest tremendous towrs de force, the company could not restrain them - selves any longer, and a simultaneous shout, that shook the windows of the room, burst fromall. But this was nothing in comparison to the manner with which all, the pianists particularly, conducted them- selves, during amd after his incomparable Marche Marocaine. Old Mr. Etienne kept on shaking his head ; at every one of his thundering passages, Mr. | Scharfenberg made an involuntary start, as if in di- | rect communication with an electric machine; Mr. | Thibaut violently rubbed his hands; Mr. Loder, | with his elbows in mute astouishment on the piano, | stared with all his might ; Mr- Ensign, in his anxi- ety to get on a chair, for the sake of having a clear- er view, nearly broke his neck and the char.

France. _ » Paris, Sept. 30.—Much attention has been paid in | this capital, both by the press and the public, to the | recent arrivals from the United States with respect to Mexico. The probability of war or no war has been discussed; but all journals and all parties are unanimous in thinking that it would be the very height of folly for Mexico to attempt hostilities. The Journal des Debats, the percent organ, takes a peculiar view: It says that the Mexicans have been joues et depouilles but advises them—to use the words ‘of an American philosopher—* to grin and bear 1t;"” because, it says, ifthey don’t thee will give the Uni- ted States an excuse for seizing another tremendous shee, perhaps all of the Mexican dominions. The Debats thinks that le grand peuple, as it calls them, of the United States, have very itchings fingers for the property of their neighbors, and it advises them to be somewhat more scrupulous for the future, lest Europe should find itself called upon, by regard tor its own interests and dignity, to prevent a further gi- gantic increase of the already gigantic dominions they possess. ‘The tale of the Times, of London, of the finding of slave shackles in the wreck of the noble Amen- | can vessel, the Missouri, has been received in this city with varied feelings of contempt, disbelief and indignation. q c The defeat of the united French and English forces in their attempt to chastise the savages of Madagascar, has excited a very paintul interest. _ Tt seems quite certain, that, in the next session, | the government will present a law for a wholesale reduction of postage, and the adoption of a modified uniform rate—two sous being charged for letters go- | ing torty miles—four for letters going a hundred, {and soon.

It is said that the potato crop has not suffered #0 nuch as was represented, In Holland, where the potatoes have failed, mea- vures have been taken by the government for admit- ting articles of necessity (potatoes, wheat, barley, wards of $200, on comparison with the corres- | “¢:) ata very low rate of daty. ponding two months of 1844.

A secret club, called Young Germany, has lately been dragged to light. Itis numerous, and possesses | extensive ramifications.

Denmark. The States General of Iceland have, adopted petition to the of Denmark, praying that all countries may be permitted to trade with Iceland, instead of, a8 at present, only u few mercnants of | Denmark. There: is_no doubt the petition will be | complied with. The Danes detest the Swedes wit! an intensity 80 at that they will not admit that they are men. Notlong since, a Danish journal, in, announciag a shipwreck, said: “Five individuals perished; but happily there were only two men—the | other three were Swedes.” Russia. ‘The Russian army, in retiring within its lines, had | to act invariably on the defensive against the moun- taineers of Caucasus. The latter laid wait for them | in unexpected places, and unnoyed them from be- hind barriers, in a dreadful manner. The Russians were at length forced to assemble themselves ii a body, and await the arrival of success. The; have suffered most severely.

In Poland the usual severities are practiced to- wards tne people. In his zeal te convert the Catho- lics to the Greek Church, the Emperor, or his sub- ordinates, (it is the same thing,) goes somewhat too far. Only lately a number of poor nuns were march- ed on foot, in cruel weather, immense distances— were cruelly flogged—and some ot them actually had their eyes plucked out because they would not | abandon their religion. | Overland Mail from India and China. The extraordinary express in anticipation of the | Indian Mail to the 28th of August, had arrived. | There is no longer any doubt as to the assembling | of an army on the banks of the Sutle), in order to enable the present Siekh Government to curb its li- centious soldiery. The Queen-Mother and her bro- ther, the Wuzeer of the boy King Dunleep Singh, | are stated to be now acting in concert with the Brit- | ish agents, for the purpose of putting down the ingo- | lence and rebe'lious spirit of the Khalsa troops, and the fanatic Akhalees Umballa is named as the place | ot rendezvous fer all the “politicals,” as the Hon. Company’s diplomatic agentsare occasionally called | in India. The Governor-General, the Commander- | in-Chief, the Lientenant-Governor of the north west | Provinces, Mr. Thomason, and Mr. G. R. Clerk, | who was said to be on his way from England, are to have a conference at Agra, alter which the impor- tant movements will be commenced. Scinde was tranquil, and the British rule com- pletely established by the gallant General who had conquered the country. y Alterations were about to be made in the native | regiments employed in Scinde, and the loud com- , plaints lately uttered against its unhealthiness had, in a great measure, subsided. The cholera had | disappeared at Subkur and Hyderabad. The prepa- rations for any movement that might be necessary against the Panjaub were moing on silently but sure- ly, eapecially in the boats tor bridges and the steamers, &c. {t appeared to be expected that Sir Charles Napier would be called on to proceed to | join the Governor-General, in case any hostile mea | sures became imperative in the Punjaub. | The fame of that General along the Indusand | throughout the north-west of India is immense. Some of the envious journals of Bengal and Bom- bay seek to lower it, but in vain. The Siekh troops would fight less desperately against him than any other British General, for they know his valor in the victories over the men of the Scinde.. There was a rumor of a treaty having: hess eemmared by the Governor-General to the Siekh Government, but great doubts were entertained, however favora- ble their government might be to it, that the troops would submit to have a subsidiary British force established at Labore, even although a body of them- selves shall be incorporated with it. The intelligence from Cabul is of the usual de- scriptions of intrigues and plots and rebellions. In the interior of India tranquility prevails. Great plenty was expected in the northwest provinces, in consequence ot the abundant fall of rain. In some of the districts of the Bombay presidency the full had been scanty. The departure from Calcutta of the Governor Ge- neral for the northwestern provinces was fixed for he would endeavor to have the new treaty with the | Siekhs carried into effect. é The Southern Mahratta country was tranquil, ie some disaffected chiefs refused to pay their tribute. The news from China comes down to the 27th of June, The Government of Hong Kong had pub- lished a proclamation for the. assessment of houses, land, &c., which it was maintained was calculated to prove injurious to the colony, as tending to pre- vent parties from settling there. There ie an inte- resting discussion going forward in India relative to | the Island of Chusan, which now, when the time for its restorationjto the Chinese is approaching, be- comes of more value thin ever tothe British. A great unwillingness is exhibited to restore it, on the ground that the whole of the provisions of the trea- ties with the Chinese has not been complied with, It was said that the French and American cast ¢o- vetous eyes on this island, against which so many prejudices had existed, which were found by experi- ence to be unfounded, and that they having each made stipulations for an Island, expect to get Chu- san. The island continues still in the hands of the Bri- tish, and a very great wish is expressed to retain it. It is not improbable that some negotiations for the purpose will be commenced ere long. __ The trade with the Chinese was going forward favourably, and it is to be hoped that the negotia- tions for the final (Sages bi of Chusan will be at- tended with the best results. It appears that the best feelings prevail between the inhabitants of Chu- san and the British Hey stationed there.
