The State of French Kingdom—The Policy of Louls Phillppe—The American Political Sys tem—What will become of France? Paris, May 22, 1847. A few days ago, the king and royal family left the Tuilleries, and took up their residence at the royal country seat, at Neuilly, near St. Cloud—a very lovely place, too. This is the signal for the dispersion of the fashionable people from Paris. Louis Philippe leads the way, and the world follows after. The king is now getting old and feeble, but his talents and intellect are yetfresh and active. Indeed, Louis Philippe may be justly considered one of the saost re- markable men in Europe. For seventeen years he has now governed France in peace and quiet. Over an unruly, ideal, fidgetty population of nearly thirty-eight or forty millions, he has or- ganised a permanentgovernment, and given them many of the elements of prosperity, with some of decay. This is a work that never wasaccom- plished by the revolution, or the empire, or the restoration. Napoleon was great in war, but in nothing else. The old revolution only could break up and break down. It created nothing. The restoration attempted to restore the old re- gime of priests, monks, women, and coteries. It failed. Louis Philippe alone has accomplished the strange work of establishing a permanent representative government in France, on such principles only as can be appreciated by the French people. It is true he has been assisted by able men in other departments, and in the management of the Chambers, but I cannot re- sist the conviction that the king is the master spirit of the general organization of the present government, as much in its details, as in its most comprehensive view. The old dynasty lost the crown by their utter ignorance of the French people of the present.age. They supposed that they had been restored to the throne of Louis XIV., but had forgotten that France had passed through a terrible revolution, that had left its marks upon the whole race.— Louis Philippe, when he was called to the throne by the aggregate factions that had banished the Bourbons, in 1880, found the people of France full of certain general ideas of popular liberty, but withoutany real practical knowledge, such as is possessed in the United States, or even in England. With great tact and facility of cha- racter, he adapted himself to his position, and out of this chaos and comparative ignorance, he has created a system of government which has given peace to France for seventeen years, and made for himself a great name as a statesman, politician, and man of talent. In that long pe- riod, Louis Philippe has had seventeen cabinets, or modifications of his ministry, but he himself has always been the leading spirit. A minister of the highest talents has little influence, unless he submits to the king and his system. At this moment, the active government of France may be said to be concentrated in a triumvirate, con- ng of Louis Philippe, of Duchatel, and of Guizot. Duchatel is the Minister of the Interior, and manages the elections, and the electoral body the press, and all the other internal arrange- ments on which the Chambers and the public depend. Guizot takes care of the foreign af- fairs, and foreign policy, and plays his part with skill. Allthe rest of the ministry are merely second rate men, pins to hide rents in petticoats, and are put in and put out, without any scruple or delicacy. How has Louis Philippe accomplished all this in such acountry as France? How has he tamed the French people for seventeen years? How has he become the Van Amburg of his race and country, and manages his menagerie so well? 1am persuaded that Louis Philippe has profit- ed much by his journey to the United States, in the early part of his life. He travelled in the United States during that period of its history, when the organization of the democratic party was forming, under the genius of Jefferson and his associations. It is well known that Jefferson was the first statesman in the United States who organised a compact party out of the popular masses. This was accomplished by a due com- bination of popular feelings and local organiza- several States, all bound together by a proper tribution of patronage, and the work- ing of the press. In that period, the num- ber of popular voters in the United States did not much exceed that which Louis Phi- lippe found in France, when he was elected as their king. The democratic party was man- aged in the United States, by the establish- ment of permanent administrative commit- tees in the several States, who generally were men of much practical talent. This remark- able organization of the popular party ex- isted for nearly twenty-five years, and through three double presidencies. It was only broken down in the time of Monroe, and that principally by the enlargement of the electoral basis in al- most every State, which had increased from 200,000 to nearly 2,000,00 der the presi- dency of Jackson, it is well known, that the old system was attempted to be revived by Mr. Van Buren, but it was found impossible to manage the electoral body, which had then grown from 300,000 voters, in 1790, to 3,000,000 in 1840. tions in th Hereafter, in the United States, no party ¢2n be permanent, and every Presidential election, 80 far as regards the man, will be more or less acci- dental. It is impossible to organize a party to be controlled by one man, among mass of four cr five millions of voters 1 am persuaded that Louis Philippe has drawn his political knowledge from the United States, and only adapted it to the purposes of an elective monarchy in France; for as yet, the monarchy is only elective—not permanent. The action of the political institutions in England is altogether different from that of France or the United States. The separate houses of the nobility or- ganize the elections—corrupt the elections—in- fluence the elections—and then combine the power into two or three large factions in Parlia- ment, There is no central system, as in France. ‘The queen is nominal, and the government is an aristocracy. Well, then, how did Louis Philippe manage affairs, on his election to the throne of France, orthe Presidency of the French people? I will explain. The population of all France consists of about thirty-six millions of people Of this number, there are nearly nine millions of males, all good dancers, over twenty-one years of age, or of the same class who would be voters or rifle shooters, in the United States. Yet, it is an absolute fact, that out of this immense number of men, over twenty-one years of age, there are only 200,000 entitled to vote for the members of the Chamber of Deputies, whichis the principal organ of the go- vernment now existing. The Chamber of Peers is appointed by the king for life, and is only an appendage of the crown, a sort of a towel tacked to the royal breeches, but possesses no popular influence. The manner.in which the electoral body is re- stricted is curious. No Frenchman enjoys the privilege of being an elector, who does not pay a direct tax of 200 francs a year to the treasury; and none canbe a member of the Chamber under paying a direct tax of 500 francsa year. Both these taxes are laid by the government, and they refuse when they choose. Now it happens that the division of property in France is so great that the proportion of them rich enough to pay such a tax, is reduced to the small number indicated— 200,000 out of 9 or 10,000,000, over twenty-one years ofage. The number of families in France, who only occupy as a freehold, about an average of eight acres of land, is nearly 4,000,000, repre- senting a population of nearly 30,000,000. The number of families who have an income, either by land, trade, or commerce, in the towns, of $1,000 to $2,000 a year, are about 180,000; and the number who have an income over $2,000, either by land, or trade, is only 10,000, or thereabouts. This throws the electoral power in France, principally into the towns, and among the merchants, manufacturers, bankers, and very few large landed proprietors. The great bulk of the nation, comprising nearly 30,000,000, and consisting mostly of the small farmers, and very small traders, have no voice inthe elections at all, and are entirely disfranchised. Now these are the naked@facts of the electoral system on which Louis Philippe has to act and to organize his government. How does he accom- plish thist What materials has he to work with? Many and powerful are his materials; and if he*did not,manage France as easily as he does, he would not be a very able man. I will explain. The king, or the government, has a civil list, ora batch of patronage, amounting to 931,977 places and pensions of all kinds, yielding an in- come to the recipients of nearly 400,000,000 of francs, or $80,000,000a year. All this astounding mass of patronage is entirely in the hands of the king, and is managed by the several depart- ments. Of this number alone, the Minister of the Interior, Duchatel, has nearly 120,000 well paid and fat officials. Here are already nearly five places in the gift of the government to every single elector, or hisfriends. But this is not all. The regular army and gens d’armes amount to early 400,000 men, and the national marine to 60,000 more. Here is another half million of men, with all their connexions, entirely paid and in the hands of the government—making in the aggregate nearly 1,500,000 of men, representing a population of nearly,six or eight millions, in the pay or service of the government, and living out of the labor of the rest of the nation, who have no vote, no control, no influence, in the progress of these things, and are so many white slaves to the government. With such materials in his hands, Lous Phi- lippe must indeed have been a great bungler not to have organised a strong and permanent go- vernment; and it is a sad commentary on the folly and ignorance of the elder branch of the Bourbons, that, in such a position, they made themselves so unpopular. At this moment it is alleged that nearly two hundred members of the Chamber of Deputies are paid officials, and receive places directly from the,executive. The whole body of electors, and all their connexions, are more or Jess in the pay of the government. Yet, with such tremendous means of influence in the hands of the government, the oppositien, in a house of 469, or thereabouts, counts 169, and the conservatives, as the ministerial party is called, counts 300, of which 50, called the young conservatives, are now forming a party, or fac- tion of their own, opposed to Guizot, the organ of which is the Presse, one of the ablest papers in Paris. And now, with all the power and influ- ence of the government, it is an astonishing fact that almost every journal in Paris, except the Debats and one or two others, is opposed to the present government, although not all are oppos- ed tothe dynasty. In the various departments and provincial towns, the press is more under the control of the government, or rather of the Minister of the Interior. There are between four and five hundred journals of all kinds pub- lished in France, the greater portion of which | are political, and in favor of the present dynasty. But in Paris and in the large towns there is a strong opposition to the government and the dy- nasty, although it is kept in subordination by the September laws, the police, and the vast masses of military. The immense agricultural population do not manifest any strong political development. As compared with the sturdy and intelliger® farmers of the United States, they are utterly ignorant and imbecile. Even in Pa- ris and the large towns, political knowledge is very scarce. The leading idea they have ot ef- feeting any political change is by a revolution— by fighting in the streets; not by a slow procese of growth and development. The policy of Louis Philippe and the present ministry, seems to be to preserve, with the aid of the army, the present system of government, by opposing all electoral reform, and all organic changes in the action of its elements. As long as they have only 200,000 electors, with 990,000 places and pensions to give away, and half a mil. lion of soldiers and sailors to control the towns, they cannot fail to produce order and peace over all France. Yet, in process of time, the em- ployment of such a large proportion of the popu- lation, to keep in order the rest, will lead France into the same condition which now afflicts Ire- land. Only think of 8,000,000 living in idleness, and feeding upon the industry of the other 28,000,- 000! Such a state of society and government is, under a different name, almost the same as that which existed in France from the age of Louis XIV. to the terrible outburst of the revolution of 1790; and it is possible that a second edition of that event may yet mark the history of France, before the termination of the present century. ! ‘The whole press of Paris almost is now cry- ing out against the terrible corruption of the Chambers—the avarice of public men—the dis- i Erie. graceful conduct at elections, and the shocking enormities of the politicians. Louis Philippe himself, and Guizot, perchance Duchatel, are generally admitted to be pure in morals, elevated above the herd of the day ; butall the statesmen and politicians of France are acknowledged to be the most corrupt and mercenary in Europe. Political corruption, as it is called, isthe very system of the existing government in France, and it is of a shade deeper and more shameless than ever can exist in England or the United States. Indeed, the only way in which a popu- lar government can be made comparatively pu: and honest, is the principle of universal suffrag Into a popular vote of four or five millions, no party or faction can introduce corruption suf- ficient to affect the mass. It is like an attempt to sully the ocean by throwing into it a bucket of dirty water. But universal suffrage in France or England, even an extension of the suffrage in the former of 2,000,000 votes, would almost, if not entirely, upset and put an end to the present dynasties of both. Hence, in both countries, the strong opposition made to any extension of the elective franchise. In France, no other system of government could exist for a month, but the present one, which is composed of equal proportions of mili- tary despotism and official corruption. It is true the press has acertain ideal liberty ; but it never can lead to any practical result under the present regime. The whole Parisian prees has not the slightest influence on the Chamber of Deputies. M. Guizot can remain minister, and control a majority, as long as the King chooses to keep him. Personally, Guizot is the most pure, al- most the only pure statesman in France. He may, indeed, tell that which is not strictly true in the tribune ; but lying is talent in European politics. He will not sully his name with bribes, places, or pensioners—in fact, he is only half a French- man in politics. D> Nothingjcan disturb the present government, or the repose of France, but some terrible popu insurrection in Paris, which may infect the mili- tary and the civil legions in the pay of the go- vernment. It wasadefection of this kind which caused the revolution of 1830. Such an event is not likely to take place in the life time of Louis Philippe, who is cautious, cunning, and eminent- ly discreet in all his conduct. He will never venture upon any coup d’etat, as his predecessor did. Yet Louis Philippe is not popular, except among those whom he controls. Whenever he goes out, he drives like the devil, and is sur- rounded with quantities of picked guards. He is almost a state prisoner in his palaces. His power over the French mind is intellectual.— They submit to what they believe to be his su- perior energy and talent. Butat his death, strange times may take place. His successors will be the Duc de Nemours, as Regent, and his grandson, the Count de Paris, a boy of nine years of age, as King. The first thing that will take place, on the death of the King, will be abreaking up of the factions in the Chambers and a contest among the different leaders. ‘The press and the popular impulses will then come into play, and no one can calculate the result. Already a party is form- ing to give the Regency to the Duchess of Or- leans, the mother of the heir-apparent, and to take it away from the Duc de Nemours. If the Orleans family divide and form different factions, they are gone forever, and France will -have another revolution. Nemours, himself, is very unpopular, and has already given strong indica- tions of returning to the ideas and customs of the elder Bourbons. He is attempting to revive and re-organize a court circle on the plan of the last century, and has already prescribed the dress which isto be worn at his balls. This is laughed at in all the salons of Paris, and ridicule is a ter- rible and efficient weapon in French politics.— In fact, the present dynasty, the existing govern- ment in France, is only provisional, or tem- porary. General Tayor’s Kircnen.—Through the kindness of a friend, who holdsa high position in the American army in Mexico, we will be enabled to present to our readers, in a few days, an exact sketch of General Taylor’s kitchen, at Walnut Springs, near Monterey, when old “Rough and Ready” was encamped at that place, taken from a drawing made on the spot. As might be expected, every thing about it is extremely modest and plain. It will be quitea treat to our readers. We shall give it to them inthe Weekly Herald of this week.

Of an average medium height. being about five feet, nine inches, he inclinvs toa heaviness of frame and general well developed muscular outline, with some tendency to corpulency ; of square build, he now inclines to stoop ; and from the great equestrian exercise the nature of his life hus led him necessarily to undergo, his inferior ex- tremities are somewhat bowed.

The outline of his face is oval, the skin wrin- kled, aad deeply embrowned by the many tropical suns to which he has been exposed. Hi anners are frank, social. and no one ever left his compa without feeling that he had been mingling with a wathunsa of the true olden times. He at times appears in deep meditation, and is then not always accessible, In his military disci- line he is firm, and expects all orders emanating from his office to be rigidly enforced and observed—treating his men not as helots or slaves, but exercising only that command which is necessary for the good of the whole. To the younger officers under him, he is peculiarly lonient—often treating their little faults more with father's,forgiveness, than with the judgment of » ruler. In his general toilet he does not imitate the,beau Bru: mels, and band-box dandies of the present fashionable epoch, but apparels his person in unison with his age, and has n t predilection for the uniform.

The “ Tompkins Blue”’ is an excellent’ edy, and affords full scope for Mr. De Bar to exercise his great talents. The “ French Spy’? is a spectacle well worth seeing, and would ot itself draw s large house at any time. Altogether, the bill to-night is an excellent one, and one that we are confi- dent will be properly appreciated. Castie Ganpen.—The evening, at six o'clock, wear- ing a gloomy aspect, and the rain having commenced at seven, prevented a vast concourse of people from attend- ing the performances of the inimitable company now engaged at this delightful, invigorating theatre ot health and amusement.

The Utele favorite Miss Clarke, played, as she always does, with spirit, Walcott’s Mr. Top is the finest piece of acting we have seen for some time. Miss Phillips en- livened us with a very hg 3 ballad, and the piece gen- erally was well sustained. Next came the prince of rope dancers, Herr Cline, who executed his feats with his ac- customed agility and grace ; his evolutions on the tight rope are the most classic and beautiful we have ever seen The cracovienne and polka by the Misses Wells were much applauded, and the Hig! d Fling by La Petite Mary Anue was encored. In fine, the company now per- forming at the garden, are sure to attract large audi- ences every evening.

Fkamens’ Crum, Tuesday June 29.—This being the regular meeting day of the Farmers’ Club, the members assembled in more than usual strength, from the fact of the Hon. Dixon H. Lewis, the Senator from Alabama, having accepted the invitation of the club to witness its proceedings, Col. Clark being called to the chair, an article was read by the Secretary on the longevity of the onion, the truth of which was {ilustrated by the savory vegetable being found in the hand of « temale Egyptian mummy, after an entombation of 2000 years, retaining not only its primitive perfume, but all its inherent ele- menta of vegetation, when transplanted to its mother earth. The article was headed, “ The Longevity of the Onion,” reminding us of the historical fact of the Egyp: tien idolatry of esoulent, as well ae modern homage bestowed upon it by a popular cuisinier In the following attractive couj — « is —— ? the waeeaet thetrentieth ‘wen! an- Pind at Castle Garden om ers; Agricuiturists, Gr &e., will take place at that time; also the annual ‘ing match By a communication from Mr. Li , and an ‘sccompany ing specimen, it was ascertais that the cherry bug he« been causing havoc among the apples, and recommended lime-water or tobacco juice asa The business of the meeting had so far extended when the Hon. D. H. Lewis was announced, and entered the club room, when a communication was read, to the effect that Mr Burchard would deliver, on the first Monday in Sepiem- ber. a lecture before the American Institute, on the subject of Agriculture. The chairman requested Mr. Lewis to give the club his 8 on Southern Agricul- ture, in which the Senator acquiesced, although, as he remarked, unprepared with any purticular digest. 1 from his own experience, the necessity of deep ploughing. His soil wasa deep black, which juced, for twenty yenrs,a rich succession of corn crops. by which he acquired from 60 to 70 bushels per acre, and when shallcw ploughing was adopted, avereged only from 30 to 40. He generally ploughed from nine to ten inches, and with. sub-soil, to the depth of sixteen inches, for the purpose of breaking up the lower soil, but not throwing it MP ‘The crop is worth from 25 to 40 cents @ bushel. This system is now generally adopt- ed on the Missiesippi. The Senator recommended dee poops alse for cotton, as calculated’to dry the land. lescribed the tap root of cotton as penetrating two fe The prosperous growth of cotton is regulated by the land, by an observance of which, an experienced planter can be guided as to the proper ‘soil. Mr. Lewis, a8 well from his perusal of the remarks of Petaoles, as from his own experience, advocated a searching analy- sin of all the component parte of the plant, seed, bron, &c. As @ manure, the seed was most valuable, and equally profitable as an oil, and enforced the necessity of the application ‘of chemistry to the practical uses of agriculture. In the course of his remarks, Mr. L stated that he would prefer raising corn at 25 cents, to cultivation of cotton at six or seven cents. He described cotton as a — manure for Indian corn, operating similarly to the ofl cake. Krom eleven to twelve hundred is a good Mr. Williams offered to analyze the stalk if Mr. Le would forward the material, » request which the Hon. gentleman promptly acceded to. Col. Clark here vacated the chair, to which Mr, Lewis succeeded, when Mr. Fleishman con- tinued his remarks upon his travelled experience in for- eign wool regions, illustrated by charts, containing min- ute drawings of various qualities of wool, their proper- ties and classifications. A curious fact was here devel- ‘on the increasing quantity of wool-hairsin propor- tion to the excellency of the breed or cross—a country sheep, upon one square inch, ses 5000 hairs. The improved breed by a merino sire and country sheep, for the 3d and 4th generation, produces 18,000 wool hairs to the square inch; in the 10th generation the fine wool predominates till the 20th generation, when the wool airs amount te 27,000 to;the square inch. Mr. Fleish- man warmly advocated a convention of wool growers, in which he was universally sustained, and {t waa the gen- eral desire of the members that facts of such high im- portance us he developed upon the cultivation of sheep. should be presented to the public eye ina more useful and jong form, that could reach universal consid- eration and adbption through the medium of the press.

The New York, Providence and Boston Railroad Com- pany, better known as the Stonington, have declared a dividend of two dollars and a half per share, This is the first dividend this company have declared, and we should judge from the statement given in another co- lumn, that hereafter the semi-annual dividends will be regularly made. Governor Owsley of Kentucky gives notice to allhold- ers of six-year bonds of the State ef Kentucky now payable, that the State is in possession of ample means, and is prepared to redeem the same on presentation at the public treasury. His Excellency designates the lst Monday of August as the day on which the State will re- deom all of said six-year bonds presented for payment, and all bonds then payable and not presented for pay- ment will cease to bear six per cent interest, and will, after that day, only bear an interest of four per cent per annum until presented for payment. The Boston money market continues plentifully sup- plied with money, and loans upon good securities, mort- gages excepted, are readily negociated at six per cent and under. ‘The Boston and Providence Rail Road Company ap- pear to be ina very flourishing condition, and its stock will without doubt be hereafter an eight per cent invest- ment. ‘Ihe Company was incorporated in 1631; road openedin 1835; length, 43 miles; cost $2,109,500. The annexed table exhibits the receipts, expenses, net in- come and dividends in each of the past six years. Boston anv Provivencr Rattnoap. Year. Receipts. Eapenses. Net Income.

The average for the last six years has been six and a half per cent The net income for the six years amounts to about one hundred thousand dollars more than the expenses for the same period, showing that the annual expenses amount to nearly one half of the anmual receipts. The local travel of this road is large, and almost daily in- croasing, by the addition of lateral lines. It takes all the through travel between New York and Boston, via Stonington, which comprises a large portion of the busi- ness between the two cities, and whatever may go direct to Providence from New York by steamboat outside. The completion of the Providence and Worcester Rai! Road, and the connecting link between the Stonington and Providence roads, will be very advantegeous to the Boston and Providence line. These roads will be com- pleted in another year, when we expect to see the net earnings of the Boston and Providence company more than two hundred thousand dollars. It must bave a surplus now on hand from previous earnings, as its divi- dends have not used up its net income. ‘We aunex our usual table of quotations for the prin. cipal State and other stocks used for investment Prices or Stocks 1x Bit New nee, Manger. deem a 1 1947, Rate. able. .

We do not keow what to attribute this deprecia- tion to, unless to the dull season of the year and the ab- sence of many operators. The easy state of the mo- ney market and the requced rate of interest, are ox- tremely favorable for an advance in quotations for all kinds of stock securities, and it is the prevailing impres- sion, that upon the opening of the fall trade there will be a very important improvement in the market valueof stocks generally. Our State and railroad stocks are steadily improving in real value. All of our public works have this season been exceedingly productive, and there is every proba- bility of their continuing so until the close of naviga- tion shuts up all the principal sources of supply. The financial condition of all the States owning public works will be very much improved,and the bonds @fsuch States 48 Pennsylvania and Ohio, will hereafter command bet- tor prices in the market, and the prompt and fall pay- ment of interest on their debts willJbe placed beyond » contingency. The unprecedented demand, and enor- mous prices ruling for all kinds of breadstuffs and provi- sions, cannot but exert a favorable influence upon those western States,which have for somany years been strug- gling along under the weight of large debts and rapidly accumulating interest. n High prices not only bring out every bushel of the sur- plus of former crops, but they give « wonderfal impo- tus to production; and we have no doubt but that in the States of Indiana and Illinois, thousands upon thousands of aores of land have this year been improved and brought under culivation from this cause, which would otherwise have remained uncultivated,and comparativelyunproduc- tive for many years. [t will therefore be seen that a season like the one just passed, not only adds at once immense- ly to the wealth of the country at large, but produces re- sults, the good effect of which is felt for ever after. The population of our Western States must,with existing in- ducements to cultivate the soil, increare with greater rapidity than has ever heretofore been realized. With- Ja the past three mouths more than one hundred thou- sand foreigners, principally Germans, have been landed upon our shores, mort of whor are bound for the West- orn States, where land is cheap, and the harvests fin- mense, An influx to this extent for a very few years, will fil up Indiana, Minois and Michigan. and increase the quantity of land in those States under cultivation. a very large per cent, There is wt present « large quanti- 2 Ee street. will ensure hird Taoeer Lhe rs enclosi the book, seating St ex ty of first rate land for sale in euch of the above named States, but it will not remain long upappropr ated.; These States are making strenuous efforts to provide
