NEW YORK, MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 10, 1846. THE ENCAMPMENT OF THE NEW YORK LEGION, OR THE CALIFORNIA REGIMENT, ON GOVERNOWS ISLAND, IV NEW YORK HARBOR. The above beautiful engraving represents the encampment of the volunteers at Governor’s Island, and the regiment drawn up on parade. The appearance of the encampment at present, is very beautiful; the snow white tents regularly pitched on the store south of Castle William, with the frowning batteries above, and the waters of the ocean rolling below, present a fine view to the observer. The public here generally, have been much interested in the organization of this regi- ment, from the fact that it is the first to sail from our port for a foreign soil, and is composed of men taken from the heart of society—hardy me- charics and farmers, who are the pioneers to found a new empire on the shores of the Pacific, depending on their own exertions and persever- ance for success, on their arrival at their destina- tion. This regiment has been raised mainly through the exertions of J. D. Stevenson, who ranks as Cvlonel; and he has displayed an untiring industry and self-denial in the details of its formation, proving him to be admirably qualified for his station: assisted as he is by officers of merit, he will carry the whole enterprize throug’: with credit to himself and his country. Lieut. Burton is the second in command, and is well known as a supe~ erior officer and a brave man. Lieut. Hardie, Major of the regiment, is admirably suited for his command, from his perfect knowledge of military tacties, and his popalarity among all with whom he associates. Captain Marcy, a son of the Secre- tary of War, has received the appointment of As- sistant Commissary; Lieutenant Scammon as To- pographical Engineer; Lientenant Folsom as As- sistant Quartermaster. All of these, with the ex- ception of Marcy, are graduates of West Point, hold rank as officers in the regular army, and have been professors at the academy where they graduated. Lieutenant Matsell, son of our Chief of Police, having acted as adjutant of the regiment during the absence of Captain Stevenson, a West Pointer also, and a son of the Colonel, originally appointed to that station, upon the withdrawal of the latter to take command of a company, was, from the fitness he showed for the performance of his duties, confirmed in the rank of adjutant.— The different companies are oflicered.as follows : Captains. Ist Lieuts. Qd Lieuts. Steele, Penrose, Young, Turner, Matsell, Harrison. Brackett, ‘Tremelis, Andersen. Nagleo, Pendleton, ‘Theal. Taylor, Ferris, Cutreil. Lippit, Carnes, Hubbard, Bonnycastle, Wenick. Frisbee, Gilbert, Adams, ; Shannon, Magee, Hulett. K. Dimmick, Hubbard, Lee. Many of the above are graduates of West Point, and the officers generally are of the right sort to enforce discipline and secure respect. The dis- turbances which have made so much noise in the papers lately, were much exaggerated, and were such as are impossible to avoid among so many men of different characters, and were promptly quieted. We were amasif tiem ‘yesterday, and nineteen twentieths of them appeared perfectly contented, and were satisfied with their treatment ; although their drill is of course severe at first, continuing six hours in every day. Each compaty full, comprising 77 men, and Cg Ng ae when added to these are the field officers, ser- vants and followers, the whole body will be near nine hundred. Every exertion is being madeto start the expedition by the 20:h inst. One vessel is engaged, and the other two will be during the week ; stores and eee are rapidly being prepared, so that whether peace is declared or not, government seems determined to be indem- nified for her expenses in the war with Mexico, by the possession of the Californias. If no ar- mistice is concluded, the regiment will be certai needed ; butif a cession is made of the Cali- fornias, they will be of so much the more service in governing the territory. There is no donbt but that they will sail before the Ist September, though no convoy is expected to accompany the regiment, nor is it needed. A band, selected from the different companies, and instructed by a leary now attached to the orchestra of iblo’s Garden, willbe raised, and will add much to the military appearance of the regi- ment. There can be no doubt but that the whole plan connected with the organization, and destination of this bedy of troopsis a good one; and that the influence of a thousand young, active, erterpri- sing working men, on the shores of the Pacific will redound to the honor of the American peo- ple, and add to the glory of the flag. eae = ee EW XOKK AND GLASGOW LINE OF PACKETS, ee a FromN.

The city of Camargo—or what is left of it—sands on the south site of the river San Juan, and three mil ly from the Rio Grande as 6000 ; but previous to Za crec dreadful flood, it had now even than that number. Many of the inhabi- tant, who have lost all, will never return, choosing higher ground in the vicinity on which to rebuild their jacales, as their houses or tenements are termed. F The extent of the freshet, or the rapidity with which the waters of the San Juan rose, have not been exagger- ated. In this place alone no less than eight hundred and sixty houses— among them some of the best houses— were either much injured or totally destroyed, the frightened inhabitants flocking to the hills in crowds, when they saw that the place must inevitably dated. ‘The houses immediately around the P' cluding the church and the dwellings of the pri alcalde were injured but little, although the waters gave ev thorough soaking.

Several fell to the ground exhausted by the heat, while others were so much overcome that it was necessary to give them places in the forage wagons. McUulloch’s Rangers did not suffer to the same extent, being all well mounted ; bat this thing of campaigning in a southern latitude, during mid-summer, is not so particularly pleasant un- der any circumstances.

It was with great difficulty that topics were got up before the close of the session to af- ford materials for those speeches which were in- tended in reality, not for be Chamber, but for the constituencies. fhe recent catastrophe which has occurred on the grent northern raitway, has filled the public with horror of railways, and shares have falien at the Bourse. Duligence’ companies have adverti- sed that their conveyances are re-established on | the ordinary roads, at fares less than those of the railway, and that they will take passengers be- tween Brussels and | aris in eighteen hours. Paris is now deserted. Fashionable people are gone to the watering places, to their country houses, and on their summer tours. Professional and parliamentary people have gone to the pro- vinces to canvass their constituents. Would-be fashionable people have taken refuge for a time in lodgings in the suburbs. The usual influx of cockneys has not yet arrived, owing to the con- tinuance of the London parliamentary session, and to the excitement attending the recent minis- terial crisis. The heat of the weather for the last month has been such as the oldest Parisian does not re- member an example of. On Sunday the 5:h, the thermometer stood at 98deg. in the shade. It was the hottest day known in Paris for half a cen- tury. This weather has done terrible damage to the peaices, some of which have been almost de- serted. The opera of the Mousquelanes, by Halevy, which I have already mentioned in my former letters, continues its course. Since the weather has moderated its audiences are as fuel as ever.— On the night of its seventieth representation, not a place was to be obtained in the house at reven o'clock. It is decidedly the most successful opera which has been produced for the last twelve months. At the Academie one or two new operas have been produced with indifferent success. Flotow’s Ame en peirie, has been a failure. A new ballet called © Betty,” has been produced with some éelat. Tt wilt All the void. until the retarn of Car- lotta Grisi, You are of course aware that the Feecn, obtained against Fanny Elssler for her breach o! enaese Dent during her American trip, has excluded her hitherto frem Paris, She will not revarn unless the directeur consents to abandon his claim. Miss Cushman and her sister have been en- gaged at the Haymarket, but owing, doubtless, to the intoierable heat of the weather, and the un- fashionable season of the year, the audiences have not been so crowded andso brilliant as before. The reputation, however, of this artiste is estab- lished, and she is on the sure road to an honora- ble independence and fortune. Mrs. Bishop, (now Lady Bishop,) whose depar- ture from her husband, the celebrated musical composer, in company with Bochsa the harpist, excited so much attention some years ago, has re- turned to England, having acquired a high repu- tation in Italy and elsewhere as a prima donna. The lady disavows any other motive in her pro- ceedings than that of improving her professional income, and thereby benefitting her husband and children, She has been announced to appear on the London boards, but probably this experiment willnot be tried until next season, She is now singing at a series of concerts in Belgium. Itis now eight months since I announced to you the approaching repeal of the corm laws. he thing is now accomplished, and the political eco- nowists here have hed the triumph of we speasing their doctriue of the absurdity of all prohibitive an protective tariffs acknowledged by the British Le- islature. Duties will henceforward be levied in ingland only for the purposes of revenue. “Pro- tection of home industr/,” ‘is a doctrine, which has now taken its bled beside the “ Ptolemaic system,” and the “ Vortices” of Descartes. Other countries « arope must and will soon follow the steps of England in the great commercial re- form, and it may be hoped the United States will not lag behind other civilized nations. 3 The systew of inertia and quiescence, which has been the invariable policy of Louis Philippe, wil no doubt operate ior some time to come, against any relaxation of the prohibitive spirit of the commercial code in France. If the elestions now aboutto take place, prove favorable o the present cabinet, the licey of inaction, which is so favored by the opinions of the King, will be persevered in. But doubts are entertained on tais subject. Nowa verrons.
