P.M, after an illness of ten days of the vomito. jor Cross writes us: “I can do no jus- tice to the memory of this meritorious officer, who has served his country well since he joined the army, Captain G, was with Gen, Taylor at the battle of Monterey, and since that time has performed arduous duty in the valley of Mexico, and particularly at this place."We have conversed with an intelligent foreigner, & passenger on the Great Western, who left the city of Mexico on he 12tu. He says that the government was exceedingly alarmed on account of the succes of Pare- des, and it was proposed to fortify tae garitas of the city inorder to resist his approach. It will also, be seen by the letter below that the universal belief is that Bustamente was signully defeated by Paredes, the Official report of the former to the contrary notwith- | standing. Two Americans were robbed at Jalupa the | taight before the troops left there, and then murdered. ‘They had a large am-unt of money with them, but ‘were intoxicated at the time of the murder.

Veka Cruz, July 16, 1848.—The British courier ar- rived last night from the city of Mexico, but he brought | no papers, or at least | could hear or none, I have been aesured, however, by persons who have received letters from respectable sources to the 14th instant. that the prospects of Paredes look brighter, and but little doubt is entertained by intelligent foreigners in the city, that be will eventually succeed in overthrowing the government. By these letters have also been received authentic accounts of the battle between him and Bus- tamente; and all agree that the latter was soundly whipped; and they expect that, under the excitement and advantage of victory. Paredes will soon find his way into the capital. One thing is certain, that revo- Jutions in Mexico have. even with less advantages, ©verturned the government, and for the last ten years none have shown in their infancy brighter rognostications of success than the present one.— ou can form your own opinion of the singular posi- tion of the United States, should Paredes succeed, but it is well known that his opposition to what he terms the disgraceful cession of the public domain, in the treaty with the United States, is the base of his revo- Intionary movements, If victorious, will he not feel hhimee'f bound to carry out the avowed purpose of his the treaty as binding upon Mexico, and probably by carrying on a guerilla warfare along the line of our exposed fron~ jer? Should this be so—and | think it not un- likely—the only hope of a permanent peace will be for the United States again to invade the country, conquer it and keep it. A rumor was afloat this morning that Par:des and Bustamente had had another fight, but I could not trace it to any authentic souree. The Sons who have been employed in the custom house here, under the United States authorities, held a meet- ing the other evening, and passed resolutions highly complimentary to Mr. Dimond, the late collector. I have also heard that it is the intention of the merchants of this city to testify their sense of his uniform politeness and attention by a public dinner.

(per Great Western.) given ‘Delow, confirms the report of the defeat of the govern- ment forces under Bustamente. The British courier arrived in Vera Cruz on Sunday morning, having left the city of Mexico on the 14th. At the! moment | of tho courier’s departure thence, verbal intelligence | was received of the rout of the troops of Busta- | mente. It was stated that Paredes had received large | reinforcements from the environs of Guanajuato. The | government forces took up a position near the village Of Marfil, three miles from Guanajuato, On the 6th, the insurgents, under the command of Gen, Paredes and Padre Jarauta, marched out of Guanajuato and engaged the government forces at Marfil. An official report of this affair had been received by the gover: ment from Bustamente, in which he d his loss at geo P. twenty-three wounded and five ki! is report is | couched in such terms as to lea ioubt he had ‘been worsted. He stated that “he ho! drown off his | troops and reserved their ardor for a piled battle.” | It seems the occasion was near at hand. The next day the insurgents renewed the attack, whon a deci- Biv battle took place, resulting in the defeat of the overnment forces, under the command of Gens. Bus- e loss mente, Minon, Cortazar and Lombardini. is stated to have been severe on both sid government troops were represented to have soat | in various directions, after their discomfiture, while | the insurgents, flushed with victory, were marchi rapidly upon Queretaro, en route for the oity Mexico. Full files of the Monitor Republicano tothe 11th in- | stant, inclusive, came to hand yesterday. They were Drought over from Vera Cruz by the Alabama, on Thursday. Active hostilities have at length com- enced between the government forces under Gen | Bustamente, and those under Paredes and Jarauta.— ‘After operating for ten days consecutively, in the vi- | cinity of Guanajuato, Bustamente, on the 6th instant, | amade a vigorous demonstration by a portion of his forces, which,in the aggregate, amount to 4000, on the fortified approaches to that city, which are of’ most formidable character, consisting of cerros or hills, crowned with artillery. mutually protecting one anoth- er. commanding all the natural entrances to the place. Paredes’ forces amount to 400 disciplined troops, and alarge number of the populace, or leperos, ofthe city. Under Minon, second in command, four regiments made an attack, which Bustamente calls xeconnoissance, on @ garita named Hormiguero, an fortified hill called Cerro Tajado, which brough| considerable number of the besieged, who, afte conflict, were driven into their eatronchments with a Joss of '27 killed and 60 wounded. The government troops had 5 killed and 23 wounded. Bustamente’s forces retired without effecting the capture of these two places ; but in his despatch he states that the ar- dor of the men was gratifying in the extreme, and it ‘Was with difficulty that they were restrained from pur- suing the enemy into theirentrenchments. On the fol- Jowing day, he stater, he will make a grand attack simultaneously, with the -rhole of bis forces, on the different points occupied by the besieged, He also in- forms the government that Paredes’ foroe has been eitly increased by the junction thereto of the rabble in the vicinity of Guan-juato, and that of the contig. uous towns, Valenciana, Melinda and Rayas, to whom he has held out the hopes of being permitted, in case of success, to sack the city: The Garita of Hormi- | guero was battered down by the artillery on both Bides, during the conflict. Bustamonte had taken | Possession of three cerros, Tumultos, and two Others, and was preparing to strike a decisive blow. ‘The official report of Bustamonte relating to his e agement with Paredes has been reesived, From t Scoument 1 appears that he arrived at Marfl on the \ | 5th inst, established there his headqn.urters, ‘He immediately ordered reconnoissances tobe made of the beights on which Paredes had planted can- mon, and ordered line to be formed by which all the entrances to the city of Guanajuato rhould be so- oured, This was done amidst a short discharge of | amurketry, which did no harm. ‘The principal posi- | tions of the enemy were found to be the Gurita Hormi- quero, and the heights of El Gallo, Rocha, El Tajado and San Miguel, On the 6th he determined to attack the Hormiguero and the Tajado. This was accord Angly done, but with no decisive result, so far as we ean judge, not knowing the localities, Ho claims that he drove the insurgents several times behind their ‘works, they having sallied out toattack him. His own Joes is said to be slight, while Paredes had twenty-seven Killed and about sixty wounded, ‘The forces of Pare- | der reevived considerable accession from the people of the surrounding counrty, he having promised them | the sacking of Guanajuato after his triumph should be | feoure, Khe report of Bustamente is accompanied by various eub-reports of no interest here, an ad of Bustamente to his troo; is @8 genuine a specimen of Mexic | ment journals | of the actions between Paredes and Bustamente. The | papers in the interest of each claim the victory for their | TR cent, July 22. |. The ‘New | news :—Information diloquence as we have met with in a long while. Private letters from Guajuato to the 7th, gives a less favorable coloring to the success of Bustamente, | though they speak well of the courage displayed b him They say the prenunciados had muoh the ad- vantage of position, and Paredes, commanding in pe son, succeeded in frouting a portion of the forces of Bustamente. The leperos tool went about stealing t! eu them. The letters say that many were killed, without 8 eltying on which side. A Yankee artillerist,on the of Paredes, had «foot shot off in the action, and one of Bustamente’s guns was dismounted. The superiority in numbers of the forces of Busta- mente enabled him to put a gocd face en matters and toremain tranquil all the 7th. The papers wonder og why he remained passive, believi t by vigerous action, and with his superior forces, might at once crush insurrection. From various indications. we should judge that the cause of Paredes was every day acquiring strength. Henoe the anxiety of the govern- t he should be crushed at once. Ja- rauta was wounded by being thrown from his horse. It is eaidhe will probably die from the effvote of the injury. Since the above was in ‘ype we have received from Capt. Auld, of the New Orleans, a memorandum of the news at Vera Cruz, in which it is stated that the latest intelligence from the interior reported the defeat of Paredes by Bustamente, and uot Bustamente by Paredes, as we bave it from another respectable souroe, Capt. Auld, in connection with this, has the following paragreph in his memorandum :—Ingelligent Mexicans at Vera Cruz, in tho face of the reported defeat of Pa- redes. and without contradicting it, positively affirm that il overturn the government of Herrera. The Boletin Official, of Merida, publishes a de- cree, by which the right of fishing onall the coasts of the peninsula is granted to Spanish vessels, The same paper states that the Indiuns had been commit- ting more outrages, Laving burned San Jese and the hacienda of Chaca. They then penetrated to Tecoh, from which they were repulsed. Dy the same paper, of the 23d, we learn that the Indians had been repulsed from Hampolol—burning, in their retreat. the hacien- das of Yaxcaq and Nacheja. Another triumph had also been gained by the whites in the town of Muna. They likewise succeeded in driving the savages out of Cenotillo, killing 89, and taking arms and ammunition. Later from Mexico, [From the New Orleans Picayune, July 23,] Our letters and papers by the New Orleans came to hand tapping a Our files from the city of Mexico are to the 14th instant—three days later than we re- ceived by the Alabama or Great Western. We are still left in much uncertainty as to the result side. In the Monitor Republicano of the 14th, there is a kindof diary of each day’s events, from which it appears thaton the 7th very thing ‘was quiet. On the 8th Bustamente attempted to carry by assault the fort of E] Tajo.but was repulsed after desperate fighting. Some deserters went over this day to Paredes. On the Sth some troops of the 3d Regiment of Allende went over to Paredes. There was little fighting this day. On the 10th tranquillity reigned, but there is a report that this day Bustamento retired from Mar- fil but the government newspapers refuse to believe it. Even from this enumeration, we think it manifest redes had the best of it down to the luth, We 4 lettor from a very intelligent foreigner in. Vera Cruz, who writes that the report is current there that Bustamente had fallen back, in consequence of his reverses, to Celaya, about half way between Guana. juato and Queretaro, and that most of his troops had deserted. Bustamente confesses, in a despatch dated the 8th inst., that the division of Cortazar had been repulsed, and that many of his troops dispersed; but he affects to treat it as a light affair. The Supreme Court had Pronounced its decision upon the question of the treaty, declaring that it was not necessary that it should be submitted to the legis- latures of the different States for their approval. The steamship Palmetto, Capt J. Smith, arrived last evening from Vera Cruz, having sailed on the 18th inst. She brought over one hundred and fifty Quar- termaster’s men, company G. 4th Artillery and bat- tery, ninety-five and $70,000 in specie. The fol- engers came over in the Palmetto :—Capt. W. F. Wood, Quartermaster; Lieut. Lovell, Lieut. Wil- coxand Lieut. Porter, 4th Artillery; Capts. Adams and Clarke; Messrs. E. E. Kottian, T. E. James, J.C. Wealand and son, J.

Arista, late Minister of War, had resigned. From private letters received trom Toluca and other places in the interior, it appears that domes- tic and political difficulties have commenced. Gen.

(From the New Orleans Delta, July 22.) Many of our young men who have partici pated in the Mexican war, and whose term of service has expired, manifest a strong desire to return to that country, and locate there permanently. All that is wanting to open Mexico toa large immigration of Americans, 18 the seeunty of good government and laws. There 1s no more beautiful country on the face of the globe than Mexico. We speak not of the rugged and remote waste acqui by our treaty—whioh Mr. Polk thinks 1 abund. yee suflictent satisfaction for the treasure and ives lost in this glorious war; but we refer to the interiorand more Somers States—toStates where an American soldier has never trod—to Jalisco, Guanajnato, to Tabasco; as well as to the rich and beautiful valleys of Jalapa and Onzaba, and the fertile table of Puebla—where our armies have en- comped, Mexico has acted wisely in | from her vast trunk such dry and rotten branches as New Mexico, the maccessible valley of the Rig jant indemnity for the |! | Grande, and the distant and exposed California, ‘They were of no value to her, and we fear they will prove of little value to us. The restless, enterpris- ing and Jand-loving—the nch-land loving—people oO this country, will never be content to throw away their energies on this hard soil of New Leon, Ta- maulipas, and New Mexico, when the lovely’ val- leys of Panuco, of Jalapa, and Mexico, and the rich soil and vast commercial facilities of Tabasco and Yucatan, are gontinually inviting them to scenes of Eden beauty, and lands of exhaustless wealth. It will require some more powerful barriers than the narrow Rio Grande or the lofty Sierra Madre, to hem-in the currentof American emigration, when it, once sets strongly towards the South. Nor will the fear of Mexican pale even when organ- ized, nor the terrors of Mexican anarchy in its wildest excesses, restrain their impulse, when it has gathered in its full force and strength, Our people will flow mto Mexico, to conquer it, either by the arts of peace or of war. They will go there in colonies, with the plough, the spade, the anvil and the loom, and show the degenerate races who are now starving amid the elements of bound- less wealth, what enterprise, industry and energy can accomplish. They will build up the fallen and decayed power of Mexico, and infuse into her life- ess body the vigor and vitality of Anglo-Saxon civilization. Overleaping all national and re ious prejudices and distinctions, they will c lesce and become homogeneous with the native population. It needs no gift ef prophecy to foresee what inust be the ultimate result of such combi- nations. The American character must predomi- nate, and eventually rule, as it has done whagever our race has settled. That beautiful region of our own State embracing the Florida parishes, sup- phes us with a striking illustration of the all-con- quering nature of the Anglo-Saxon, when brought in conflict with that of the more Southern races. The latter are soon merged in the former, or crowd- ed out by it. In that region, which, in 1810, was a Spanish province, it would be difficult, indeed, to discover a pure descendant of the old Castilian race, whilst many thousands of Americans occupy the land, and have covered it with the mo:t endu- Ting evidences of our civilization and enterprise, A like process must go on in Mexioo. It behooves the Mexican people to imitate the wisdom of the old Spaniards of Ftorida, who invited the Ameri- cans into their country, and thereby increased the value of their lands, and realized fortunes for them- selves, at the same time that they redeemed a fer- tile land from desolation and waste. The liberal party in Mexico, perceiving these advantages of American immigration, has declared 1n favor of the most hberal system of foreign colonization. When they have succeeded in overthrowing the old Chinese exclusivism and jealousy which have long oppressed the prosperity of Mexico, and they can offer a free welcome and invitation to the en- terprising immigrants from other nations, there will be such an influx of Americans into the coun- try as will soon change and revolutionize its con- dition agd character. These immigrants will build up on our Southern border a republic of the South, rivalling in enterprise and enlightenment the great confederacy of the Nort Ni se) The U.

Dinner to Amenican Orricers 1n Canapa.—The Montreal Herald gives the following account of a din- ner given by the authorities of Montreal, to the offi- cers of the United States Revenue steamers “ Dallas’’ and “ Jefferson '’—to welcome them, and to commemo- rate the first passage of craft of the class they com- mand through the lately completed Canals. The din- ner took place at Donegana’s Hotel. About one hun- dred gentlemen sat down to the repast. which was perveda la Russe in a style worthy of the host and his splendid establishment. The room was hung with the banners of the National Societies of the city, and at the head of the table was a kind of screen formed, also, of banners, and having for its centre the Arms of the City of Montreal, with the meteor fiag and the star- spangled banner gracefully arranged on either side The Russian dinner. as the dinner-eating world knows, affords great CORE ORDAEE, for ornamental display on the tables, and the profusion of epergnes, alternating with vases and pieces of confectionary, formed a coup dail, which it would have been a pity to demolish, for any less laudable be ag than to make more ample room for the supplement . Besides the guests, whose visit the festival was erpecially designed to celebrate, we observed Cols. Bruce, Dynely, Wetherall, Major L’Es- trange, Town Mejor McDonald, and the Hon. F Eger- ton and Dr. Stratton. R.N. "The Mayor, of course, presided, and Messrs La Rocque and Hartley acted as Vice-Presidents. The capital brass band of the 71st Regt, was, through the kindness of Major L’Estrange, permitted to come into town from St. Johns for the oc casion, and during the dinner played appropriate airs, The cloth haying ‘been removed, the Mayor proposed the toasts of “ The Queen,” “ The President of the United States,” and “The Governor General,’ pre- facing each of them with a few neat observations, On proposing the next toast, he said: “It is my leasing duty to propose to you the toast of the even- ing, which I feel acsured will be received by my fellow citizens with the greatest enthusiasm. ‘The arrival in our port of two American steamers will long be re- membered asan important era in the history of our country; and the manner in which the proposition to celebrate the event bas been responded to by the high- ly respectable assemblage by whom I am now sur- rounded, affords conclusive proof that the community at large are quite alive te the importance of free and unrestricted commercial intercourse between this country andthe great American republic. It is not the simple fact that two steamers in the employment of the government of the United States have passed through our canals, on their way to the Atlantic, that has given rise to the enthusiaem which has been felt bere and elsewhere. No. gentlemen; it is because these veesels, coming at this particular time, when the entire Canadian community all look with eager ex- pectation for a total repeal of those laws which have operated to restrain our intercourse with our noigh- bors, are considered to be the harbingers of free and unfettered trade between Canada and all nations throughout the world. With these sentiments, I now propose to you the health of ‘Our Guests, which I am sure oat. drink with all the honors.’ Capt. Howard replied. He thanked the Mayor, for himself and on behalf of his follow officers, forthe com- pliment paid them that evening, which filled his bosom with feelings which he wanted words adequately to ox- After some allusions, in reply to those of the ; Felative to the character of the canals by which the two steamers had descended from the lakes, the gallant officer turned to the two flags behind him. and said that he saw side by side the meteor flag of England and the star-epangled banner of the United States.— But how did he see them? As they always should have been, and as he fervently hoped they might evermore be—in harmonious union. What might not the world look for from the peaceful march of those two flags, the harbingers of liberty and civilization, wherever they were seen? Nothing could be more appropriate than the motto which was now between them. He there saw for the first time the arms of the city. “Concordia salus” was the motto which should ever govern them. He would say this, that if ever the glories of that sea- te isle, on whose dominions the sun never seta, should extinguished, that moment the great light of liberty in Europe would be put out.

Or if that sceptre should again pass from the elder sons of Britain to the younger rons, among whom he then found himeelf, he was convinced that it would still be wielded by those who had lost none of the characteristios of the great family.

For this purpose there is a tariff of prices framed, and walls, or barriers, built round tha: part of the town which embraces the principal popula- tiom “and at the ¢ in placed the govern- ment agents, to examine every person, and evory package, even to a girl’s satchel or bag, who enters through the gate and upon every article dutiable; the tayiff is to be paid before it can enter. All per- sons arriving in the satges, railroads, er other means | Ascembl: of al veyance, are subject to the same examination; in taking # carriage to ride out of the city, upon | ounseturn it is subject to this kind of inspection. | ife Tn France is subject toa kind of military disoi- | pline, F which the people of every country would not | submit one moment; and this system gives rise to all kindsipf devices to evade the payment of the duties, whichin the care of wines, alcohol, of the expenses of the government of Paris aré de- frayed by the reeeipts.of this imposition; and thore who oan raie these commodities and escape their du- ties, muke fine profits, Asan example of the devices, 4 man was arrested and fined 1000 francs, beside the forfeiture of his alcohol, cart and three horses, last week. He was noticed to pass through the gates, fre- quently during several days. with three fine horses, and his cart frequently empty; and at a certain place in the street. each time, rest his horses, and take them into acertain stable; and in a short time return them again to his cart. ‘The officers asked to examine him the and finding nothing in his cart, examined | in the collars of which they found ves- ing pure alcohol, upon which the duties pri nd the severity of the penalty. The poorer | classe of the people live without the barrier, for the | sakeof avoiding the increased prices of provisions oc- casionpa by the octroi; and the government admits smiali Quantities of meats, I believe, and some other ar. ticlesf necessity for poor families daily, free of duty; and thus many such families go out of the city proper every May to purchaso their provisions, and bring them over én small quantities within the limits of the line. 1 beligve the duties on a good sized ox amounts to 100 to 126 francs; and thus all who consume in Paris, aid in paying its police expenses. Persons arriving from Englagid here must first pay their duties of the Cus- tom House, and then their octroi duties, if they bave wines, or any other articlas of consumption. with them. The French officers are et | civil and polite in the performance of their duties; otherwise it would be anextgeme annoyance to strangers. They examine your carriage so quick,that a stranger would not know what the driver was stopping for; and before he could inquire, it would all be over. But the examination of large trunkss is a great inconvenience to travellers arriving in the cars, and sometimes produces conide- rable delay. There is anothor peculiarity to whch | the traveller is subjected, and that is the weight and management of his bagg: All baggage @. weighed before it is put into the cars, and if not at the depot about thirty minutes before the hour of leaving, it will be detained till the next train, and no deduction made, as exists when it goes with the owner. All these gnd a thousand other such rutes are enforced with @He most rigid discipline, and are greatly annoy- ing to. gn American, who has never been accustomed to them At the depote people are divided off into rooms corresponding to the class of cars which they take, and none others allowed to enter—not even an accompanying friend to a lady; and the number of seats in carsis established—they are filled, and the door locked by the manager, and opened only at cer- tain depots, Perhaps, these rules are necessary, but they are not very democratic or agreeable.

With some, the idea has been adopted that an expedition will be fitted put to capture Bermuda; and it has been sug. gested, in such an event, to make Mitchel governor of it. The case of Mitchel excites the sympathy of the whole liberalized world. His trial was a prostitu- tion of the forms and essence of judicial proceedings, and none but tyrants and corrupt men would have lent themselves to or supported such proceedings, England cares little, however, for these things. Her whole government is a system of oppression, and thoxe who govern her policy have only hearts of stone. Ing- land is callous to the sentiment of other nations, ex- cept she thinks it may endanger her interests. Look at her bold manner of bringing forward her propositions to re-open the slave trade, about which sho has filled the world with her professions of horror, and by which she will ceize, and carry into captivity, thouands of the negroes of Africa annually, to supply her sugar plantations, in her islands, and to enable pete with the United States in this respect. This proposition to seize and export slaves enough from Africa to enable her capitalists to work their sugar lantations at a lower rate for their products, ught forward with so little disguise, that it is de- claimed against by even members of the Parliament, as @ measure to re-open the slave trade. I referred to er to com- | this subject at the time it was brought forward, and | refer to it in this instance to support my position— that England cannot be affected by any sentiments of shame, in any addresses to her honor or her humanity. She bas neither the one nor the other; and Amorican movements which do not threaten the Canadas, or some other of her possessions, or her interests, will be but as idle wind to her, and labor spent in vain. Words with her are nothing; she feels only blows; and they who cannot deal them have no power to affect England, and become objects of ridicule through her prese, The Irish are an oppressed people, and their condition demands the sympathy ot the civilized world, England holds them in a state not only of de- gradation, but of actual starvation, Such an in- stance of inhumanity and barbarity has no parallel in the history of the world; and when man speaks out in favor oF remedy against such a state of things, he is banished for fourteen years, and the courts of law prostituted to effect his conviction. But our people may do well not to excite hopes which cannot be real- ized, for that would be doing Ireland an evil instead of a benefit. If they are going to act, that is another thin, & very different thing from talk. Talk does the Irish an injury, when it urges them to measures which, single-handed, they cannot sustain. Besides, it will lead to expectations in Ireland, among the igno- rant, which will create disappointment that they are not fulfilled. If Americans intend in good faith to assist the Irish, the more they do, and the less the: say upon the subject, the better it will be for Ireland, Ireland needs help, and the civilized world ought not to permit one nation to hold another in bondage, and starve them to death, as England has Ireland, for the Inst thirty years. Until the last year, the number of human beings amounted to about one million who ac- tually starved to death. America and France, in par- ticular. where the people govorn, share some responsi- bility in standing by. as governments, and seeing the poopie of Ireland thus perish, in their condition of ndage to England. And these governments must be brought to bear upon England in this respect, betore Ireland will be relieved from her condition of suffer- ing, Representations from these two governments upon this subject would receive respectful attention OBSERVER. Paris, July 9, 1848. Latter of M. Emile Girardin—The Question of Posen— Assembly at Naples and atRome—Death of Gen, Duvivier. M. Emile de Girardin has published a letter, which I translate as follows :—“ Arrested without motive, and held eleven days in secret, without there existing against me an indication the most vague, or a suspicion the least probable ; hardly in- terrogated, for form; released in full as irregu- larly as I had been imprisoned; without one piece of evidence having been made known to me why I had been deprived of my liberty the 25th of June, or why it was rendered to mo the 5th of July; my firet act is, to protest against this sequestration of my person, and against the suppression of the journal of the Presse, « double attack upon liberty and property, which I reserve to myself to discuss, as soon as the Presse can appear, of which all the material continues under geal.’ Ten other presses are in the same ca- tegory, sithowgh their editorsiwere not imprisoned ; by which it will be seen that Gen, Cavaignac's mission isnot upon a bed of roses, But the editor was im- prisoned in the midst of a rebellion, under « state of siege. a8 a dangerous citizen, in the same manner, and for the game motives, that General Jackson im: yrisoned Judge Hall—to save the effusion of blood, and to protect the country from the acts of the enemy. ‘The Presse was among the most inflammatory papers in Paris, and decidedly the most able of that olass ; and it was a moment when the question was one of life or death to all, and of even the existence of civil soelety ; and I presume the laws of Franee provide the neoeseary remedicr for such cases; and certain it is, that the President hi sed them with judgment and success, But the qu n touching the press for the future, after the siege, is full of difficulties, and even danger. In the present state of the public mind in Paris, words are gums and swords in the hands of common people have little confidence in the doctors | in the hospitals, which may be accounted for from the fact that comparatively few come out alive, and this because ihe poor people will not go into | the hospitals until they are almost past hope, and | are frequently brought into the hospitals in dying state. The cholera is so rapid in its effects that it admits of not the least delay, and if immediately at- tended to, as we have had occasion ourselves to notice, may be suecessfully treated in most in- stances; but the poor people sufler the disease to operate half a day or more before they think of a doctor. A water-carrier, who brings water for the writer, was taken ill with cholera at 3 o’clock this morning, and his brother went for the doctor at 9 o’clock, when the poor fellow was in the last gasp. This is one of a multitude of similar instances, Mr. Chambeau, the private Secretary of the Empress, died of the cholera last week at Peter- hofl, where we hear there are many cases, as also at_Cronstadt. 5 We have been informed that there have been no cases (or deaths) from this disease in Tsarsko- Selo ; but cannot vouch for the truth of the report. ._ Mr. Harvey informs us that there 1s one quarter in Moscow (the Basmannayah) where there has not been a single case of cholera either in the visi- tation of 1 1, or at present.
