Panis, July 18, 1843, Immediately after the terminution of the insur- rection, I told you that, from the best information i could obtain, the number of killed and wounded amounted to between 10,000 and 20,000; and sinze that e I have given you some accounts, placing it a little more then three thousand, m sources that ought to be quite responsible. ‘he Constitution, of to-day, discusses the subject in full; and says that the numbers are not, and never will be, accurately known ; that in the revolution of July, 1830, the fighting continued but two days, was limited to a comparatively small portion of the city,and yet the number of killedand wounded, as ascertained, amounted to seven thousan nd that from the facts already known, the great surface of the city where the fighting took place, its duration of four days, and its great ferocity, they regard 10,000 a low estimate, In this opinion I concur; and why the French are so anxious to diminish the number of the insurgents, and of the killed and wounded, is not apparent. folly to talk about 40,000 insurgents, when th more than 200.000. men and women; all Paris, east of Rue Montmartre, Palais Royal, and the Luxembourg, | and most of the Banlieux, were insurgents, and this | embraces one half of the city—of the population, I mean. Then, as to the killed and wounded; there | were more than a bundred regular pitched battles, | terminated generally by the bayonet. ‘The 48th regi © ment of the line, out of nineteen officers, had fourteen killed and horri'y wounded; snost of them killed on the spot, | One battalion had more than one half ofits | number killed; and a National Guard told me of an- otter that had but one hundred men unhurt, out of feven hundred who commenced the fight, There were nearer five hundred thousand men, including those that came from the country, engaged during the four days, at different period. in’ guarding the city, and fighting each other, The numbers, duration, f.rocity, space, rapidity of movement, uninterrupted. ness—all were far different now than in 1830, Now both sides were well prepared with arms and ammuni- | tion; then only one side had arms at the commence- ment, Certainly I rhould be glad to believe that the numbers were as sinall as some now represent them; but I bave given you my impressions, and still have no doubt about their correctness. A very intolli- gent French gentleman. with whom I am intima two days ago arsured me that no more than 400 had deen killed, and G00 or 700 wounded. I had been just | reading the remarks of the President of the Assembly, | in which he informed the Assembly that 1500 then re- mained in certain hospitals, which he named and had visited. M. Dance, another representative, died of his wounds yesterday. A great proportion of the balls used by the insurgents were not round. They were run, some of them in holes. some in one thing, and some in another, and they made bad wounds, A great many wounds prove to be mortal, that at first were not thought to be so. ‘Twelve generals wire cut down in the eld; come of them mortally wou ded, all the rest badly, if one more does not prove to be mortally, Only one general. in command, I believe,tescaped, Ge- neral Lamorecivre. There is no record of auch s slaughter among the officer. in the history of France. It equals that of our own brave heroes at Buena Vista, where, | believe, about one quarter of all the officers in the army fell, killed or wounded. I refer to this with someadditional attention, because facts are interesting; and I do not intend to mislead any one, nor to permit others to create the impression that things are spoken. without sufficient consideration or knowledge. ‘There are those whore opportunities for judging are better than my own, because they lived in the part of the ety ‘where the fighting took place, who estiveate the new, ber of killed, wounded. prisoners, and missing at 60.000, and that the killed and wounded constitute the major art.

The public admiration for its conduct grows stronger and stronger. Composed as it is of young lads, geemaly from 15 to 22 years old—more generally from 17 to 19— it was notey cd that they would take the front of ‘the battle; ¢ they did. Thore decorated with the Cross of Honor are from 15 to 23, and already they have been scattered in pictures containing their protiles to the four corners of the world. General Cavaignac has adopted the youngest of them, a lad of 15, He thinks that the General saw him fight, whilst looking out of a -window, but he says he did not know it when he wag fighting. These Guards are to be sent alittle way out the city for the present; for the insurgents shoot -one, whenever they can get an opportunity, dey or night. There was no limit to the bravery of these boys. One of these lads, who rushed in among the insurgents, and brought off their flag, fell just as he returned to his company. ‘They took him up, sup- ing he was dead. He said “No; I am not hurt, but [ could not help fulling”” But he was still holding on to his flag.

Hungary is a strong power, and although nemi- nally under the Emperor of Austria, it is but nominal.

General Brea, shot dead, and General Damasme, were successively placed in command over Col Thomas of the line,on the south side of the river, and both were shot, leaving Col. Thomas twice in command of the troops, who finally achieved a complete triumph, exposing his person in the most daring manner, in a great number of charges upon differ nt barricades, and etcaped unburt. He has been promoted for his good conduct. I have remarked, that of thirteen generals, twelve were shot; and, I now recollect that Gen.

Five perrons were allowed to ree him. to whom he protests, that he did not intend to betray the Assembly. Some say he was drunk; perhaps he was; but his conduct was none the less masked.

Thave seen some discussion in the American papers upon the subject of ‘tableaux vivans,” ex- hibiting in New York. We have had them here in the purity and perfection of nature—fourteen or fifteen young girls, from fifteen to twenty years old, two or three young men, and three negroes, have been exhibiting in all the charms with which na- ture has clothed them, without any of the drapery of art. The police were informed of these exhibitions, entered while the exhibition was proceeding, and after it had finished,srrested the managers and the “tableaux vivans’? themselves. Upon their trial, the managers were called upon to explain what part of the divine art of painting, poetry,or sculpture, they elucidated in these representations; and he responded, giving his explana- tions of the offices fulfilled by each of these represente- tions, either singly or in groups—their histories, char- acter, &e. &e.; and by these explanations, and the teati- mony of the girls, it appeared that several of these fe- males bad thus been hg ao don since they were four, five and six years old; but after a fall. ki court fined the managers 100 francs each; some of the older “tableaux vivans” 16 franes each, and the younger ones they discharged on account of their youth. | believe these figures were generally from Italy; where I think the manners of society are a little freer than even in Paris; and where young ladies, in imitation of Pauline, sit hours and days for young gen- tlemen to take their full length portraits; ‘and where thore who have good figures receive their daily pay for so doing—not excceding a franc or two—such is the price which modesty pays for the developement of the fine arts and personal vanity. I appreciate the value | of paintings as highly as any one; but it seems to me that too great a price may be paid for them—or for “tableaux vivans.” The latter is a little beyond the manners of Paris, whero ideas are quite free, and the | taste for the fine arts will be grati most any expense. Here they exhibit in statuary and paintings man and woman as they exist; but they do not admit the public representation of living nature, in that form. The French taste is accustomed to these exhi- ditions frem their infancy—they look upon them as upon marble, and with the same indifference—there is no shock, no thought, no recoil from the image created. earing, the | £0 monopolife bs to keep up the prices—and so they put the m@iey into their pockets. ‘There are to be stands established, where] the poor can buy at low rates and Without profit; and the monopoly is to | be removed, Ido not know how much consideration is to be given to ciroushstances and constraint for the sake of pres@tving tho peace ; but certain it is, that that the finahees were badly managed by the Provi- sional Government.

That France will act upon this contingency, 1s more than probable ; depending, of course, upon what she ascertains to be the sentiment of the eight to welve millions of people whose territory bas been in- vaded, and perhaps the sentiments of the German | States. This Russian movewent will be felt, perhaps, as severely on the Rhine as on the Seine ; and how fat England will acquiesce in it, will depend upon her prospects for a division of the benefits, This act of Russia endangers the peace of Europe ; it may bring ona European war.

I feel that if there i much to gain in one respect, there is much to lose in another. We do not understand the condition of the society of foreign countries any more than they | do ours, and when we undertake to introduce the! manners too suddenly into our country, we make a great mistake, and do violence to a well ordered public sentiment.

La Crosse was the candidate of the Thiers party; Bac of the extreme radicals; Marrast of the administration; yet I do not consider Thiers in opposition to the administration by any mea: though he is not in its counsels, nor are his particular friends in the cabinet, yet he and his friends have great strength in an Assembly s0 nearly divided, and in which they ha‘ m advantage in experience and talent developed. The socialists, as a body, appear to have diminished in power and numbers very much, since the affairs of May and June, and Proudhom alone seems to stand forward to advocate their doctrines, The sentiments of this man, put forward in argument before the committee upon his motion, to seize one-third of all the incomes of individuals in France, and appropriate one-sixth to the State, and one-sixth to the poor, are startling, to use no stronger term. He says he considers property, like Christianity, a thing wearing out; that both will | soon cease to exitt; that they are a ‘great tax, and great evila to society. and in an improved condition of society they will have no existence. Thus he lays the axe io the root of the tree boldly, and declares the object of his measure proposed to be. to hasten the coming of that state of the world. What a fanatic; or what avillain; probably both. This man has been elected in Paris by about dne-half the number of votes given for the highest candidate upon the list; but he could not now be chosen, And we have been told such maniacs as this man aided in bringing about the insurrection, by filling tne streets and shops with their prints, filled with such kind of doctrines, and their consequences ; for, where Choist!anity and’ pro- rty are abolished, there all organizations and laws their creation and protection become » dead letter. Families will cease to exist—to inherit—the diatination between mewm aud twum will be abolished, not only in reference to property, but to everything else, Wives husbands, children, fathers and mothers, mine and thine, will have no existence. All obligation to sup: port or to protect will cease to exist, and the human family would become a congregation of barbarians— worse than that—wild beasts—for the savages some idea of mine and thine, touching both property and persons, and thero are some things held sacred even by them. Men who hold such doctrines in such high places ought to meet the scorn of the human family, without limitation They are not republicans —they are anarchists, atheists, and tho enemies of the well being of the human family, and wherever they are met with they should be treated as such. I hope Thiers will do himself and the world justice in his report upon this maniac’s doctrines. The committes are unanimous against him, and | have no doubt that the Assembly will be nearly so, The insurrection and its consequences will have a purifying effect in Paris and France, and will be productive of more good than evil, [have no doubt, It has brought a good many hidden things to light that need extermination.

OBSERVER, Burns, July 11, 1848. The sate of Prussia may be compared to that of a patient who has just passed from a high fever to the languor of convalescense, and whose frame 1s still suffering from the inroads of disease. The worst symptoms have subsided, or appear under a modified aspect, but the enemy may yet be lurking in the constitution, and a relapse would be fatal to the invalid, whose strength is not equal to sustain a fresh attack. The new m mstry, of which Iansemann is the primum mobile, though he has not thought fit to assum, the title of Premier, seems to be breaking down under the same difficulties that led to the diss: lution of the Camphausen administration. The first of these is the want of confidence, the second, the want of money, or rather, the second is occasioned by the first, which is increased in its turn by the reaction arising from the second. There is @ profound distrust pervading all classes—a distrust of tho stability of the Prussian mo- narcby, of the German Confederation, of peace and or- der in general, of everything and everybody. It is felt that a strong effort is requisite to save a nation palpi- tating under the throes of # new birth, and writhing ¢ tary one, | in the fortieth year of bis age, it strikes one asrather ab- in the agonies of emancipation from centuries of poli- tical enthralment ; but this is not to be attained by a mere burst of frantic enthnsiasm, waich evaporates without leaving a trace of its short-lived existence Leaders are wanted—practical men, not dreamers — men of action, not men of the closet. covered with the dust of that profitiess science which has done more harm to Germany than ages of ignorance. Such lead- , unfortunately, are not forthcoming. Had the King of Prursia been & man of spirit and energy. capable of stemming the tide, instead of being borne away by it, he might have performed a splendid part, and have easily raised himeelf to that pre-eminence which his house has been solong striving for ; but hisirresolution and political tergversations have proved fatal to him, and the election of Archduke John bids fair to reduce him to the rank of @ vassal prince, while the star of Austria, though Iately eclipsed and almost extinguish- ed, is once mere in the ascendant. ‘he deficiencies of the Prussian Ministers may find some excuse in the overwhelming difficulties that sur- round them, but their want of candor and openness must disgust the most unprejudiced, With the Scylla of Democracy 9 ning on one side, they are not al- ways sufficiently lous co avoid the Charybdis of Ab- solutism which threatens them on the other ; and henoe their endeavors to gloze over the malpractices of the old régime, and to cover its nakedness with the broad man- tle of Christian charity.

Of late, indeed, there have been éigns of a rally, occa- oned principally by the restoration of a vigorous go- vernment in France. and the prospect of a peace with Denmark ; the funds have risen, and there is a little more activity on ’Change than heretofore; but the heavy clouds that obscure the political horizon of Europe preclude all hope of a permanent amendment. The stock of combustible matter is kept alive by the prolonged warfare in Italy, and the republican move- ment in the south of Germany, while the revolt of the lavonian provinces of Austria, and the revolution in Wallachia. will probably call forth the intervention of Russia, and precipitate that collision that has long been inevitable. “ Coming events cast thoir shadows before them,” and it is this shadow that chills the public mind, and fills it with vague apprehensions and forbo- dings of evil. A. B. If reports are to bo cre- | Aunany, August 3, 184: The Buffalo Convention—The Necessity of Nomi- nating Judge McLean—The Reason for Repu- diatmg Van Buren. There has never been a time when the politi- cians cf the capital city were so filled with per- plexity and embarrassment, as at present. Old as- sociates, who have acted together for scores of years, and have devised plots and plans for ac- complishing certam political objects, now find themselves in direct opposition. They scarcely ean approach each other in confidence; all their former associations are disbanded, and in accost- ing each other, it is ten chances to one, if a politi- cal enemy is not encountered—high words ensue, and an enmity created at parting. Standing aloof from all connexion with either faction, I occupy an eminence, from which can be viewed with the utmost impartiality, the character, course, inten- tions, and proceedings of all the various political hacks, who assume to dictate, and lead the masses. I discover that portion ot the democratic party who support Cass and Butler, gliding quietly along, without suflering themselves to become ex- cited ‘with the free soil humbug, the all absorbing topic of discord, and the only disturbing element in the coming contest. When accosted, they only exclaim—-Amold, Burr, and Van Buren—‘par nobile fratrum.” They view with stoic fortitude the Kikenny fight between the barnburners and abolitionists, and appear perfectly indiflerent whe- ther the black voters unite upon Giddings, Fred. Douglass, or Van Buren. They see that New York is lost to Cass, and are, therefore, prepared to ield the electoral vote of the State to either Tay- jor, McLean, or anybody else. The Cass demo- crats are the only quiet and peaceable politicians in the city, and do not intend to resort to any ex- ertions to obtain the State. fi The last letter from General Taylor has given no satisfaction that he is any more whig than he was when whiting to Sken Smith, Birkey, Dr. Clarke, Delony, W. G. Wood, Col. Mitchell, of the Richmond Republican. The whig inagined that he would declare himself an u!tra in his reply to Governor Morehead ; but their disappointment is so great, that measures have been taken to un.te with the whigs of New England, Ohio, &c, and present a force so formidable at Buffalo, as to no- minate Judge McLean. Should this be effected, it is freely acknowledged here, that the Judge would carty the largest vote of any other candi- date in the Eastern States, in Ohio, and in New York. He is claimed as an orthodox whig, as an original free soil man, and as a consistent aboli- tionist of long standing. He has no revenge to gratify—no rival to defeat, and no ambition unat- tained. He has never been under a “ Joad of hay,” nor had an impertinent son, rambling to and fro, for four years, preaching treason to the people. The judge will come before the electors with clean hands, and with principles uniform and consistent. | His friends will not ask votes from a class. of | people whom he has constantly abused for thirty | years, nor ask them to abandon party ends for his | own personal gratification. He has no “ heir ap- parent” to whom he wishes to bequeath Jpatro- nage and power. The whole country know Judge M‘Lean’s principles—he has never disguised them—never been accused of being a ‘dough face”—a man with one set of principles for the North, another for the South. But he has always stood firm and unmoved in the faith which he pro- fessed, without any variableness, or even a shadow of turning. If the Free Soil Convention, which will soon assemble at Bullalo, desire a leader pos- sessing honesty, capacity and integrity—if they desire a representative of their principles—if they desire a man for a candidate who never yet uttered an untruth or deceived a triend—then will the upright, righteous, and undeviating Judge M‘Lean receive such nomination. A meeting ot the whigs who still adhere to prin- | ciple is called for to-morrow evening. ‘The call is | made by such staunch men as James Kidd, Tunis Van Vechten, John D. Livingston, Judge William Parmilee, Thomas B. Ridder, &c., &c. Tnvita- TWO CENTS. ment in favor of that measure, until after the last Balumore Convention? Why has he re ained silent, while this free soil question was convulsing the nation in and out of Congress during the last three years? Why that long si- enee, if he believed so much danger really existed in the extension of slavery? He has had frequent Opportunities of making known his views; an he done so, he imight then have exhibited some claim to disinterestedness, No, it was only at the eleventh hour that he ventured out from his retire- ment, after the nominations of Cass and Taylor, and when he diseovered that the principle of free terntory was becoming a formidable ingredient im the approaching canvass. We tell the Buffalo Convention, that if anything is tobe attained by that assemblage, they must indignantly repudiate Van Buren’s pretensions. There 1s no political honesty in him—he has treacherously betrayed the por which sustained aim through a long life, and will again betray any party, and abandon any principle, for the sake of accomplishing a personal gratificetion, Trust him notin this great emer- gency—the occasion demands honesty, integrity, and political consistency. A traitor to one set of principles, cannot so summarily be converted to opposite extremes. The brand is upon him. Let the Buffalo Conyention act nobly in choosing Judge M’Lean. Police Inteltigenee. “Arson and Larceny.—On Friday night, between LL and 12 o'clock, the premises No 73 Nassau-stroet wer» discovered to be on fire, The room where the flame were blazing is occupied by M Lapyre Lad- vere, publishers and printers of Eco de Europe et les Deux Mondes. The rooms above there offices are occupied by Mr. George Hayward. lithographer ; and: in a room directly over the fire was sleeping Johm 8 lithographic printer, and his two sons, both small boys, who were all asleep until awakened by the alarm of fire, when, endeavouring to make their escape, and flying to the entry, found it im- practicable, as the dense smoke renderad it impossible to get down stairs. The firemen came promptly, and soon extinguirhed the fire; not, however, until the whole of the papers and valuable correspondence ware consumed, and.a large hole vurnt in the ceiling. From the appearance of the fire, it was considered at the time to be the work of some incendiary, as fire wae communicated in two distinet places; and only for the timely arrival of the firemen. in all probability Mr. Major and his two sons would have perished in the flames. ‘The most singular part of the story is yet to relate. Between Zand 3 o’clook the same night, as officers Owens and Carland, of the 6th ward police, were on duty, in the Park, near the fountain, they ob- served a young man sitting on one of the tenches, in rather a peculiar manner;and on afurther examina- tion. they found that he was sitting on a bundle of something which looked like clothing, and on opening the same, reveral coats and other articles of wearing ap perel were found. He was at once taken into custe- dy, and informed that he was arrested on a charge of stealing the above articles. On his way to the station house, he informed the officers that he wanted to be ar- rested. and for that purpose he had stolen the clothing from No 73 Nassau street, and fearing that would not be sufficient to hold him. he set fire to the house to make sure—explaining the manner, and how he com- municated the fire, to the officers, before they knew of the fire having taken place. On. the prisoner's foot was a pair of slippers, belonging to Mr. Ladvere. the prisoner having tuken off his heavy boots. put on the slippers because, as he said, they were much oooler. All these statements, the officers found to be exactly correct upon visiting the burnt premises. The prison- or 1s asmall, slim, young man, of twenty-two years, and a Scotchman by birth, giving his name as William Spears, and said he only arrived trom Glasgow about four weeks since.

Lapyre and Ladvere, as they were not insured But what is more unfortunate is the loss of valuable papers and ccrrespondence, which cannot be restored by money. From the con= duct of the prisoner in the police office it is supposed he is insane. Justice Lothrop committed him to prison for a further hearing. 1 Dishonest Sailor—Ofiicer Hopkins, of the 3d ward police, arrested yesterday a young man by the name of Thomas Bowen, a sailor, formerly on board the schooner Factory, lying at Littio Egg Harbor, on « charge of stealing’ $260 in si the vessel, belonging to th jamuel F:ndicott, ‘The robbery was effected about two weeks since, and imme diately Bowen preceeded to Philadelphia to have & glorious sprece on the money ; where, after a few days’ spree. some woman eased him of ‘all his bank bills, amounting to over $100. Finding his stock of money diminish rather suddenly, he concluded to come on to New York and spend the balance—arriving im this city on Tuesday night last, taking up his quarters on the Hook in Walnut street, where he was found by the officer. On the officer searching him, $95 in silver was found on his person, in the identical bag in which the Captain had placed it before the robbery. The accused, after being confronted by tne captain, acknowledged his guilt, and said he was very sorry for having done so. Justice Lothrop committed the accused to prison for trial. Constructive Larceny. — Officer Bowyer, of the chief's office, arrested yesterday a genteel looking man of the legal profession, by the name of Solomon B. Noble, o charge of obtaining a gold lever watch, valued at the property of Mr. George C. Baldwin, jeweller, No 110 Broadway, by a trick and device, under the follow ing circums‘ances, according to the affidavits. It ap- ears that the accused called upon Mr. Baldwin on t th of last month, and represented that his moth wished to puréhase a watch, and selected the above- mentioned watch as one he thought would suit her, and wished them to let him take the watch up to show his mother; and if she did not Hike it, he would return it again at 9 o'clock the next morning. Upon this con- dition, Mr Baldwin allowed him to take the watch.— However, 9 o'clock arrived,and no watch came baok. The next day Mr. Baldwin saw Mr. Noble, who stated that his mother said the watch did not exactly suit her, and that he would bring it down the next da: ‘Well, the next day came, and no watch, and then more days passed over,when Mr. Noble was seen is who then gave as a reason for not bringing the watoh, that his wife had gone to Philadelphia. and by mistake took the watch with her, but faithful; promired that he would send it back onthe third of August. This story, likewise, proved false; when Mr. Baldwin, finding that Mr. Noble was practising a de- ception ‘upon him, applied to the chief of police, and Mr. Bowyer was deputed to unravel the mystery, which he did, by ascertaining that on the 27th of Suiy, the day he obtained tho watch from Mr. Baldwin. he employed a Mr. Richard J. Parisen, residing at No. 203; Madison street, to take the watch to Mr. Sim son's pawn-shop and obtain $25 on the same, whiok he did, bringing the money to Mr. Noble, who was wait- ing at Tammany Hall until the job was done. Con- sequently, under these circumstances or false repre- sentation, Mr. Noble was taken into custody and conveyed before the chief of police, where he was de- tained until a further hearing before his honor the Mayor.

On the contrary, what have the tree soil party to expect from Martin Van Buren? Can such a man be trusted? During his long political, office- holding life of thirty years, what evidence has he ever manifested that he was a free soil man? | When and where did he ever advocate that doc- | trine? Has he not rather been a Northern. instru- ment, to sustain Southern interests? Look at his | course when a candidate ; he so adroitly and com- pletely hoodwinked the South, that the slave States | adhered to him, when the whole North, East and West abandoned him. Van Buren advocated every Sonthern interest—even went so far as to arrest the public mails, and establish a censorship overthem, rather than suffer intelligence to reach the South. Would any Southern slaveholder have done more? Would John C, Calhoun have ven- tured farther? No President who ever occupied the chair, was ever so subservient to slavery as Van Buren, None of the Presidents from the Southern States, where personal interests might | dictate them, ever attempted to intercept the peos nle’s sealed mails, to prevent Northern publications | from being transmitted inte Southern States. When did Van Buren become an advocate of fre soil? Did he not vote for the nominees of the Syracuse Convention, when the Wilmot prov 80 wos repudiated?

Upon this representation. together with paying ,$1000 cash, the goods were sold, Hampton & Smith taking Mr. H ward’s note, at 4 months, for the balance, $1838. ‘Thi went on until December following, when Hampton & Smith arcertained that Hayward never had «store fm Portsmouth, but immediately conveyed the goods on te Cincinnati,where theywore sold at auction.
