Panis, Aug. 10, 1848, Grand Fite in Paris—Description and Incidents—R. port of the Insurrection Committee—Trouble Antic pated—Hopes of the Regency Party—Conviction of the Insurgents—It.lian Affairs. Within the last week, two or three eventa have oc- curred here which have excited much publio interost. The first of these was a grand /éte given in the new hotel of the Presidency of the Assembly, on the even- ing of Thursday last. This celebration was ushered in with much previous noise and trumpetings; various ‘were the rumors of the wonders and delights prepared by M. Armand Marrast for this oirée; three hundred workmen had been employed in the preparation; ten maitres d'hotel had ordered the dinner and were to preside at the collations in the evening; 4,000 guests had been invited; vocal and instrumental concerts of the first celebreties had been organized, who were to give the chefs deuvre of Mozart, Rossini, Weber, &c. All the luxury, all the harmony, all the pomp, all the elegancies of the most pacific times and of the first of capitals, were to be there pre-eminent. It was, as it ‘were, to.be a resurrection of a world of arts and of en- joyments, which for six months had disappeared in the tumult of intestine struggles—the first smile 0° reviving confidenee—the restoration of the salon afte: the violences and tyranny of the streets. The féte did not belie these promises; it was bril- liant, animated, and numerously attended. Open a corner in this immense city, by which a glimpse may be caught of amusement or enjoyment, and imme- diately the whole of Paris will flock toit. Paris is an Athenian city. It is in vain that barbarians endea- vor to make of it a desert—Athens will survive. At nine o'clock, the magnificent hotel, besieged by an impatient crowd, offered a spectacle unseen since the 24th of February. There were hands with dress gloves, varnished boots, white shirts—not a single segar, or paving stone, nor barricade; the linen was irre- proachable; crosses and orders shone on the breast, ribbons adorned the button holes, women in gauze and lace, women perfumed—a race one might have have fancied to have been extinct, were seen again wielding the fan, and breathing the odors of a lovely bouquet. The paisicnne—that is grace, affability, and ele- gance—can no more perish, than Paris itself. The saions were of a richness and taste unexception- able; brilliant with the light of dazzling lustres, gilded walls and ciclings, and resplendent with paintings, Flowers and evergreens refreshed with their beauty and verdure the staircases and the vestibuies. This @elightful hotel, commenced {under the royalty of Louis Philippe, with all the luxury of pure monarchies, ‘was destined to be—who would have believed it?—inau- suraieg by the republic. OneJwould have said it was leatined to Louis X1V. or the Regent, and it serves as a residence for the President of the Assembly, born on the 24th of February. However, the republicans of the veille were not more embarrassed with jthese mo- marchical decorations than the republicans of the /en- demain; they very Pillosophically reconciled them selves to them, and, we may suppose, witho much audacity, that the tenants of the lendema that the ces of the veille suit them admir From a spirit of conciliation, fraternity, and har» which dererve praise, M. Armand Marrast invited of all parties and shades of opinion to this brill soirée. The principal part of the gathering nati consisted of the Chamber of Representatives; the tagne elbowed the Plaine; the Provisional Gov ment jostled M. Dupin, ainé, and M.Duvergier de;Huu Taune. Litera ure, arts, the National Guard, the aca- demy, our intrepid army, had also their envoys, with- out forgetting the Garde Mobile; and it was not the least curious and least significant spectacle to see these children of the people, recently decorated for their png hs mixed up with the brilliant crowd, be- sieging t uffets, expediting ices, and devouring cakes under the fire of chandeliers, with the same sang froia that they attacked the criminal insurrec- tio: cades. the 24th of June, under the fire of the barri- . The guests sought out the men who have made themselves a name, and played a tin the last six months, which have been more fertile in events than years: ‘General Cavaignac, especially, attracted all ks; every one, in s resolved, intellig nt, and ho- nest pbysiognomy, in which intrepidity is united to a cast of melancholy, sought and endeavered to divine the secret and last word of the future. General Ca- yaignac wore a simple black coat, and the ribbon of Commander of the Legion of Honor, round his neck. He conversed for a long time with the Ambassador of England, Lord Normanby. M. Armand Marrast exer- cised this first republican hospitality with good and taste. The ublicans who do not love Athens, will accuse him, without doubt; for ourselves, we wil- lingly co: tul: him on this Attic penchant, even should it be a pretext of accusation and reproach against him; and we will confess that we prefer the republic which circulates gold among the people by fétes, to that which dries it up by insurrection; the Tepublic which softens the mind and disarms passions by arts, to that which irritates and envenoms them py hatred and envy; the republic singing the airs of Rossini, to the republic thundering murder and pil- lage. The second great event was the voluminous and most importont report of the Commission of the As- sembly on the insurrection. As you will, however, have at your disposition a very complete translation of this, which appeared in the Daily News,a London journal, it is not necessary for me, here, to give you ‘any of its details. You will have perceivéd by it that four members of the Arsembly—M. M. Ledru Rollin, Caussidiere, Louis Blanc, and Proudhon—belonging to that section called the Mountain, and celebrated for ultra-democratic tendencies, are inculpated by the report, with being more or less privy to. and concern- ed in, the various insurrectionary movements which have taken ploce here since the 24th February. Seve- ral scenes, characterized by the greatest violence, have taken place in the Chamber, in consequence of this. No debate, however, has yet been held on the sub- ject of the report, in’ consequence of the documents and evidence on which it is founded not being yet printed. These documents, which are most voiumi- nous, are now in the press; and it is said that they will inculpate the above members, much more seriously than is expresred in the report ; indeed, the greatest Slarm fe felt for the consequences of the approaching discussion, and many parties are most anxious, if pos- sible, to avoid it altogether. It is feared that it will produce a schism in the Chamber, and civil war in the streets. During the present week, | am informed that negotiations bi been opened between the mo- derates and the republicans—the purty of the Rue de Poitiers, as they are ealled. and the party of the Club of the Institute, which have for their object to put aside the debate altogether. A proposal is understood to have been made to effect this, that the question of the report should be dropped, and that no debate should take p.ace, but that leave should be given to the public prosecutor to bring Caussidiere and Louis Blanc before the tribunals. The emtarrassment of the government lies here. The report and the evidence before the Committee leave no doubt that at least Caussidiere and Louis Blanc were as deeply implicated in the affair of the 15th May as were Barb’s, Albert, Blanqui, and the others who nre now shut up in Vincennes, On what principle of common justice, then, can the former be permitted to go at large, and escape with impunity, while the others are shut up in @ fortress, and visited with the penalties of the law? Either the prisoners of Vincennes must be liberated, or Cauesidiere and Louis Blane must be prosecuted, There is absolutely no alternative. The necessity of publishing the documents and de- tions, is, however, paramount, Justice to the ‘emmittee requires this ; justice to the accused, whether guilty or innocent, demands it; but, above all, justice to the country will imperiously exact it. y in France has been assailed by an occu't from time to time, at almost regulated since February.

It willform a curious commentary on the his- tory of events in France since the 24th February last, feanwhile, what is most interesting at this moment is the debate in the Assembly which will follow the publication of these documents, It will be a conflict ofperrons an apprehension more timid entertained respecting it eaving the enpltal; f happe friends of his, afew days ago, to mak from Paris for a fortnight. or three weeks. T have been assured to-day, that the present distract- ed state of parties, and the feeble minority which exists in France really favorable to a republic, has inspired the regency party with strong hopes It is said that Marshal Bugeaud and M. Thiers have had conferences with the friends of the Duchess of Orleans, and that the slichtest Incident which would shake down the frail fabric of the present government, would be seized as the occacton of establishing a constitutional monar- y. under the nominal sovereignty of the Comte de Maris, with a regency. Meanwhile, this great capital resembles a vast bar- of | the Bois de Vincennes er personal or documentary, | rack; the military literally swarm in it. We have in upon the plain of St, Maur, nearly 20000 men encamped. The northern fortifica- tions are fringed with a camp of nearly the #1 Ke tent, apd cannon are planted in all the ba: within the capital itself, upon the open spots on tl nortk bank of the river, known by the name of the Ile Louvierr, celebrated in the novels of Eugene Sue. an- other extensive camp is planted. The detached forts which lie outside the fortifications, bristie with bayonets. Considerable progress has been made by the military commission in the trial of the insurgeuts. Up to the Tthivatant, they had decided 2,718 cases, of which 1,396 bad been set at liberty, 1,206 ordered for transportation, and 116 ordered for trial by court mar tial Of those ordered for transportation, upwards of 500 have already been sent from Paris,and are new distributed between Brest, L'Orient and Cherbourg, waitirg the ultimate decision ag to their destination.- They were sent away without any previous notice, and could hardly believe it possible that they were actually not deceived by their senses. When they saw the sea, some wept, others cursed; some were indifferent, oth- daring; and one man boasted that he himself had ot at least 30 National Guards. So soon as they have arrived at thi joint of destination, their wives and families will be allowed to follow them. P. S—Since writing the above, we have received the following news from Italy, which will probably be more recent in date than what you will havo received from yee Italian correspondents. This isthe more likely, nasmuch as all direct communication with Milan has been suspended for several days, owing, as to that city being invested by the Austrii A letter from Turin, dated the 4tb, says, * The nows spreading at this moment (throe o’clock in the after- mre) respecting our army is rather disquieting, and we wish to believe that it is not well founded. This morning, we learned from Vercelli, that in the morn- ing the noise of cannon was heard there. A soldier, arrived thisinstant from Milan, announces that the two armies were engaged pear that city. The enemy’s army is said to be greatly superior in number, and it is added that some of ours, being demoralized. had taken to flight. The general opinion here i, that our emmy, of more than 45,000 regular troops, reinforced by tho numerous Lombard population, whohave p'azed themselves at the disposal of the provisional govern- ment, must victoriously oppose the enemy, compelling them, if not to retrograde, at least to stop. Milan is bristling with fortifications and innumerable barri- 8. Let us hope |"? We have received from Milan an evening paper of the 3d, and @ morning paper of the 4th. From these it appears that at that date the Committee of Public Defence was still in power, since they published a no- tice on the 3d, calling on ever: n, not doing duty asa National Guard, to work at the fortifications, Every workman was to receive three lire a day No mention is made of the Austrians, or even of the ex- pectation of a battle for the next day. The Pensiero Italiano of Genoa, of the bth, states in a postecript, that at noon intelligence had arrived there of the Austrians having entered Pavia, which was almost completely deserted on the morning of the 4th. The bridge of the Po had been cut by the Pied- montese, who were on the other side of the Po, under the command of General Trotti. ‘The prevailing subject of conversation here to-day is the intervention which has been resolved upon by France and England for the pacification of Italy. The following facts, connected with that, are authentic.— The Sardinian government has rent the Marquis do Ricei to put two distinct questions to the French ‘government. The first was, what France would do in case Piedmont should be invaded by Marshal Radetsky; the second was, as to the formal demand of the inter- vention of France, The answer of Lord Palmerston also embraces these two different points. As to the eventuality ofan invasion of Piedmont by Austria, the English cabinet participates in the opinion of France, that it must be opposed by all possible means, and that the representatives of rrance and England, M. de Reizet and Sir R. Abercromby, should be furnished with every requisite authority for imposing an armis- tice on Marshal Radetsky until the cabinet of Vienna sha «nen answer to the offer of mediation abou be made to it in the names of France and Great Britain. As to the bases of the arrangement to be proposed for the conclusion of a peace between Aus- tria and King Charles Albert, we know from good au- thority that the French government wished that at least & proposal should be made to Austria to evacuate Italy entirely, on being guaranteed a pecuniary indem- nity for the territories given up which had belonged to the ci-devant Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. On this point, Lord Palmerston observed that, after the confl- dential overtures he had received through Baron Hume- lauer, the envoy ed hoc sent to London by the Aus- trian. government, he was convinced that Austria would never, at any price, consent to give up her Italian provinces, and the ‘more s0, as she could rely upon the support of the German parliament of I'rank- fort inretaining posession of the line of the Adige, which, in strategy, is considered to be the bulwark of South Germany. Thisis why Lord Palmerston is of opinion that for entering upon serious negotiations with the cabinet of Vienne it is necessary to recur to the proposals for peace which Austria was, two months ago, the first to make ta the government of Lombardy. These propositions are sufficiently known, Austria, preserving the Venetian provinces up to the left bank ofthe Adige, would acknowledge the political indepen- dev ce of Lombardy. stipulating for an engagement from this last, that it would take upon itselfa partofthe debt of the imperialtreasury. Although these propositions were put forward by Austria under conditions much more unfavorable for her—that is to say,at a period when the Sardinian army threatened to force the line of the Adige, and when most of the Venetian towns were en- franchised from the Imperial Government—Lord Pal- merston strongly urged the cabinet of Vienna to accept the mediation of France and England, if our govern- ment would consent to adopt the line of the Adige as the basis of negotiations to be opened for the conclu- tion of a treaty of peace between King Charles Albert and Marshal Radetski. At the same time as the an- * swer of Lord Palmerston arrived at Paris, a telegraphic dispatch was received, announcing that, on the Sth, the remains of the Piedmontese army, rallied under the command of the Duke of Savoy, have sustained a de- feat under the very walls of Milan. Whatever may have been the heroic resistance of the inhabitants of Milan, it is to be feared that the capital of Lombardy will fall ere long, if the conclusion of the armistice be not pressed. But Marshal Radetski, emboldened by success, will not consent to an armistice as long as he shall feel a conviction that the propositions made to his government by France and England have been fa- vorably received at Vienna, Consequently, the coun- cil of ministers, which was held yesterday under the presidency of General Cavaignac, resolved that it was urgent that the arrangement proposed by Lord Pal- merston should be adopted, and according to which the line of the Adige should be guaranteed to Austria if she consents to abandon Lombardy. It was to thisef- fect that instructions were sent last night to our agents at Vienna and Turin, in order to induce the bellicerent parties to accept as promply as possible the Franco-English mediation.”’ There is now no doubt that Milan has surrendered to the Austrians. A letter was received yesterday, from that city, dated the Sth, and put into the post office of Como, cesuriaa th that, after a capitulation, Milan had been occupied the same day, at five in the morning, by the Austrian army. It added that the capitulation gave 48 hours to the Sardinian army, which bad fallen back on Milan, to evacuate the Lom- bard territory. It is said that the Sardinian army was cut in two by Marshal Radetzky ; that one portion retired to Alexandria, and that which had fallen back on Milan, commanded by the King in ion, recie on the 4tha very decided check. The King, it was in operating this movement te cover, by a last effort, the capital of Lombardy, declared that he was fully aware that he was committing a military fault, but that he wished to prove to the Milanese, that they had judged him unfavorably. All announce, besides, that the Austrian General-in-Chief does not think of pyr- suing his advantoges on the Piedmontese territory. INVESTIGATOR. Our Milan Correspondence. Mitan, August 3, 1848. The Italian War—Stirring Incidents and Events— Battles and Victories—English Mediation. Since the date of my last, the tide of war has turned against the cause of Italian independence; and it is pro. | bable, if not morally certain, that before this despatch sails from Liverpool,the Austrian eagle will soar over this capital of Lombardy, and the brave Sardinian army will have retired within its own frontiers. Let me, however, go back and give you the events, as they have oceurred from day to day, during the last most inaus- picious week. I have little to communicate but a series of reverses. Overpowered by numbers, our army has been obliged to retreat from one position to another, until, at last, they entered this city on the 3d, mot, I am sorry to tay, in any thing like order, but with all the precipt- tation of a flight. Jury 28—The Piedmontese army was encamped on | the two banks of the Oglio, between Bozzolo and Cre- mona. This position was convenient, and, for the moment, a good military position, from whence the king could march to the succor of Milan by Pizai tone and Lodi and could watch the two banks of the Po.

The marshal had not yet taken any forward movement, either on Brescia or on the road to Milan. His first operations have suc- ceeded, but his troops, like those of the Piedmontese army, seemed worn out with fatigue, by four days of severe conflicts. Charles Albert addressed the following proclamation | to the army :— | sta Etnies tenets 2 eee te | Sonprens—The r ich ye have cunced oh the el of battle, and nian ive nds have deeply touched mo, The enemy Soe sseer meal oe’ We have iodo ts Ger erenestet ousand prisoners of hie troops, and he cannot hay: CANS, Spent, eee heen to rr low you some rest aud no ES Hesuvioge of the Sarhersane f' determined ‘fa truce ; but it was offered on such conditions as ‘wo should all blushed to accept.

This noble, energetic, and frank proclamation will certainly re-aesure public opinion in Italy, relative to the real nature of events, and kindle a fresh patriotism of the people. It does not dissemblo the danger, but merely holds it. forth as a reasonto combat with double energy and courage. Jury 30.—King Charles Albert, at the head of his army, was encamped near Cremona, where they were attacked early in the morning by an advanced body of the Austria Intruth, Charles Albert hag not, at that moment, more than 20,000 men under his orders, and he required at least two or three days rest to sum- mon the detached corps which, acattered round him, might have then formed double the number. He thought he had time to effect this junction, and in that case, his right placed towards Cremena, and his left near at Pizzighettone, he intended to attack Radeta! ‘in. It was presumed that not more than 10, s had crossed the Oglio; but, alas! it was an nd on the 31st, at one o'clock in the morning, found necessary to evacuate Cremona, whic! the advanced guard of the army entered at about 8 o’clock, A. M. Charles Albert first directed his march towards the small fortress of Pizzighettone. Atalater hour of the eame day, he was desirous of taking up his position at Codogno, a rather Fog igri city between Cremona and Lodi. His project was evidently to array his army in that ition, where he occupied the line of the Ada, having his first line on its left bank, from Creme to Pizzighettone ; the second on its right bank, from Lodi to Codogno. But he was immediately com- pelled to abandon that position, and, aswe have befere said, a hasty retreat has brought him beneath the walls of Milan. He was preceded, on the 2d August, by General Oliviero, who had come to take the direotion of politi- cal and military affairs. conjointly with the committeo ofdefence. The city was in a state of groat agitation; the people erowding the public squares, uttering cries as clamorous as vain, In order to calm their uneasi- ness, they were led to hope the French army was com- ing {mmediately to their assistance. We read an arti- cle,inserted in the .Avvenire d'Italia, to the tollowing effect :—‘ The intervention of France is now a positive fact. The army, commanded by Gen. Oudinot. has, doubtless, at the moment we are writing these lines. crossed the Alps.” It was also announced, and with much greater probability, that Charles Albert was on his march hither with 15,000 men, and his whole force of artillery. In @ short time, the minds of all became more calm, and one and all set to work. sotnat in a short time the defence-works were finished, under the direction of military engineers. It appears that the Italian army bas recruited, while affecting its retreat, by a numerous reinforcement of fresh Piedmontese troops. On the 26th, the king proposed a truce, but the mar- shal insisted upon the evacuation of Peschiera, of the duchies of Parma and Modena, and, it is even snid, upon the surrender of Venice. It was impossible to accept such conditions—the king could not but deter- mine upon continuing the war with the utmost ener- gy. Let what will happen, the honor of Italy will re- main unspotted. The command of Brescia has been entrusted to (e- neral Griffini. The committee at Milan has just issued several very energetic decrees; a loan of 14 millions of franks is to be raised upon persons of every position of fortune, in a manner at once progressive and propor- tional. It is positively forbidden that any citizen should leave Lombardy, in order to avoid paying the Bros taxes and levies. It is likewise positively for- idden to publish any military news, except that which is officially announced by the authorities. All alarm- ists, reporters of false intelligence, are to be brought before a court martial. The government of Milan, imitating the example of that of Piedmont, has decreed pensions for the families of those who perish in the de- fence of the independence of Italy. Marshal Radetzky has issued a proclamation address- ed to the Milanese. requiring them to surrender, and by which he promises them every political liberty they ean desire, and which Austria now enjo; Duke Li '@ member of the provisional government of Milan, has just left for Switzerland, in order to re- cruit » thousand men, whom he proposes to march into Milan at his o.n ‘a The proclamation of Charles Albert, expressive of such noble feelings and steadfastness, has produced eat effect at Milan, and has ube him every heart. the republicans, till’ now so full of doubt, and so suspi- cious, have ceased all opposition; taught by adversity, they are at Jast convinced that Charles Albert, and his army, form the true bulwark of their country. ‘Marshal Radetzky has at his disposal an army, not of 50, nor of 60,060 men, as was at first stated, but of 80,000 men. It is raid that he has in his army 10,000 auxiliary Bavarian troops, who have come b ‘Tyrol, Since the 22d July, he has daily received strong reinforcements. The teoops sent from Austria and Illyria were conveyed in chariots seized for that purpose, and paid. Itis thus that the troops of the marshal on the Adige were doubled. It appears that the Piedmontere staff was completely ignorant of the foree of, and preparations made by, the enemy. The old marshal most actively turned to account his suc- cesses, and the superiority of his numbers. At Milan, every means of defence is in preparation The committee of defence hss addressed a most ener- getic proclamation to the people of Lombardy. The curés are requested to excite the inhabitants to take up arms, from the pulpit. A permanent court-martial is instituted, to try all traitcrs and the malevolent. Besides the forced loan of forty-five millions, the com- mittee of defence has put on sale the property of the state, to the amount of three millions. n is being fortified and barricaded. All the navigators who are not in arms, as wellas ail unemployed laborers, are set to work at the construction of a fortified camp, upon the Ada. They are allowed 1f. 50 cents per diem— twelve hours’ labor. All the chariotsof Milan have been taken, and are employed in conveying food to the army. The females of all ranksand classes have been again called upon to make cartridges. In a word, the most lively feeling of patriotism prevaila in every heart; and such a people well deserve to conquer their independence and L.berty. Ava, 2.—The Austrian army, from 80,009 to 00,000 strong, is marching on towards Milan, in three corps that of the centre, commanded by Marshal Radetzky. 60,000 strong, follows the Piedmontese army in its re- treat ; the body on the right, marches between Brescia and Milan; that on the left, advances along the right bank of the Po,in the direction of Parma and Pia- cenza. Notwithstanding the decree of political and military fusion between Piedmont and Lombardy, the Milanese have almost entirely isolated themselves from the king and his generals. The committee of public de- fence, instituted at Milan by the republican party, issues alone every measure and decree it deems neces- sary These measures are both energetic and usetul ; but it is to be regretted that a mutual harmony does not exist between Turin and Milan, in such grave circumstances as the present. The levy, en masse, of the N nal Guard of Lombardy, has been decreed. Lientenant-Marsbal, Baron di Perglas, commandant of adivision of the Austrian army, passed the Po «t Borgo Forte, near Mantua, having issued a proclama- tion to the Modenese, calling upon them to abandon the King of Sardinia, to form a legion under their old colore, and to establish the ducal authority. ‘The arrival of the king has rertored the courag> of this city. ‘When the news of his arrival was epread at midnight, every one got up, and the windows were adorned with flags. The Piedmontese infantry ap- pear to have suffered mneh; it wants reinforce- ments, and @ week's rest, It is not the bravery of the soldiers, but the ex- rience and skill of the generals, which has caused e defeat of the army. The heat, want of provisions, negligence of the purveyors, and the want of a good commissariat, have destroyed moro troops than the Austrian bullets, Thi Bt hy that the ambassadors of France and England are gone to the camp of Radetzky, to in- sist upon an armistice. This news has produced a sensation | can hardly describe to you. [tis saidthat these two powers will compel the belligeront parties to a compromise on such & basis as shall be proposed to them. Arrains at Jeremre—More Broopsagp py rae Presipent.—A letter from Capt.Fales, of schr. Mary Chilton, to the owners in this city, reports his arri- yal at Kingston, Jamaica, from Jeremie, on the 22d ultimo, with twenty-one passengers, (among them the collector of Jeremie,) refugees from the vio- lence of President Soloque. The ngers came on board the Mary Chilton, and the schooner got under weigh, but owing to strong head winds, was obliged to come to anchor. The President threat- ened to send a guard on board to search the schr., upon which the passengers all fled to the shore in different disguises, and secreted themselves for the night; the next day, a part of them returned, and the schr. immediately fet for Kingston. Captain Fales says his life was threatened by the brutal sol- diers of Soloque, and that things were in the most deplorable state at Jeremie ; but it does not appear that the town was sacked or plundered, as had been reported. A general terror prevailed, and it seems certain that the negroes, in these atrocities, are to acertain degree conniyed at, if not actually coun- tenanced, bythe President. Capt. Fales adds, that he has important news for our government, which he shall communicate as soon as he returns. There 1g no American man-of-war at the island.

Scott at Saratoga Springs. | The reception of Gen. Scott, to-day, at the U.S. Hotel, by the citizens and visiters of Saratoga, was truly a beautiful and gratifying spectacle. The | spacious saloon was thronged, for hours, by anx- | ious groups, who had come with a spontaneous | desire to shake the old chiettain by the hand, who led the invincible ten thousand from the shores of the Gulf to £1 Palucio Nactonale of La Republica Mexicana. The General received his frends cordially, for- getting, till completely exhausted, his feeble health, inthe discharge of the agreeable duty imposed upon him. The parlor was crowded with elegantly dressed ladies, the family of the General-in-chief being also present. To all, including the little children around him, he had a word to say. word of kindness and congratulation. [His tower- ing figure loomed above the throng, as in the front of battle—firm, but softened by the pleasing scene. IMPROMPTU, BY THE DESIRE @F THE COMPANY. Mr. F. L. Wanpeut, of New York, addressed the General as follows, in a clear and emphatic tone Mason Generar Wixrretp Scort ;- Called upon most unexpectedly, at a moment's notice, by the citizens and visiters of Saratoga, to welcome you to these foun- tains of health, after your perilous and glorious cain- paign into the heart of Mexico, we ‘eel our hearts over- flowing with a sense of pride and gratitude, which words are feeble to express. We sincerely regret that there rhould rest a shadow upon our joy in this meet. ing of our beloved chief—that he who has borne for- ward the “star spangled banner,” in the front of his invincible legions, to the ancient city of the Aztecs, through so many flercely contested battles, unscathed amid the carnage and the iron storm of the terrible conflict at the cannon’s mouth—that he, preserved amid the disasters of the shock of war, as with “charmed life,” when his gallant comrades ro thickly fet! around him, should return among us, on- feebled in health. There is a mingled sadness in our joy that he should return among us with ay enfeebled frume. and with that eagle eye, which hu’ so often gazed upon the sun of victory, dimmed by the bivou- acks of the sultry clime of Mexico. Still, General, we hope, we doubt not, that the healing virtues of these unrivalled springs will restore your constitutional vigor, with a brief season of repose, and the enjoyment of the enlightened society assembled here, to impart to you their congratulations. We welcome you to this central flowery region of beauty, taste, intelligence andfashion, The brave, the good, the beautiful, are here to honor him who has shed upon our arms the honors of immortality ; and we hope that this warm expression of our regard, radiating hence to the ex- tremes of the Union, will be received all over the land as the true expression of the common sentiment of the American people. How glorious has been your career ! How signal your victories! If we look to the past, Chippewa and Bridgewater, and the whole of that morable campaign of the North, are sufficient for the grateful remembrance of posterity; but thrilling as are those deeds of glory, they “ Pale their ineffectual fire before your unexampled campaign of the South ; that march from the captured castle, and the series of high achievemente, leading us on into the enemy’s capital, And here we may pause to shed the grateful tribute of a tear, who so cheerfally laid down their lives to vindi- cate their country’s honor. Many of them were per- sonally dear to us. Ringgold, once the charm of this social scene, one of the first to fall, and, under your immediate command, there are Graham, Baxter, Butler, and a host of others, who died as soldiers love to die, in the charge, and amid the shouts of victory. Hallowed be their memories ; and shall we not exult in the highest prospeet of their reward ?— “For blest; who in the hattle dies God shall enshrine him in the skies.” General, they loved you as their commander and their comrade in arms—their glory and yours is indivisible. ‘Their fame can never die. ‘Oft shall memory, pilgrim of the heart, visit the spot where they fell, and though atear dim the eye, yet shall she exult in their blissful transition, We trace your Southern campaign from the strong fortress at Vera Cruz, and the walled city together deemed impregnable, to the extraordinary inarch which. on the leaf of history, shall remain 2 more endearing monument than the fame of the mailed conqueror of the Aztecs.

All this is left to abler hands. Enough thattthey were led by you. To you, we say, thrice welcome, warrior, chief, and friend.

The flag of our country triumphantly floats ever before you, and all hearts wel- come you home.

The delivery of these remarks was frequently in- terrupted by a burst of applause; and the sincerity with which the sentiments they expressed were they were uttered, ‘was attested by the tears which suffused the eyes of all, Among others who were most deeply af- fected, was the accomplished lady of the distin- nished veteran.

The floating population of Saratoga to-day verges upon three thousand strong, of whom some five hundred are quartered at this comprehensive and commodious caravansary of the Marvins. The evening hops are still pretty well sustained, and the company, assembled nightly in the parlor and the ball-room, embraces a fair propertion of intelligent and experienced, and beautiful and ambitious daughters. Gen. Scott 1s the legitimate Leo Mexicano of the village. Hon, John Wentworth was introduced to him yesterday ; and, though the conqueror of the Aztec Palacio Nacionale is some six feet five or six inches, the tall member from Chicago overreached him by two or three inches in altitude, General Scott remarked, “ Yes, Mr. Wentworth, so it is; just as I find myself comfortably located, the gentleman from ‘Illinois comes in to overstep me. What I have done to merit this ungener- ous treatment, passes my ingenuity to discoy- er. At all events, sir, I hope your shadow will never grow less.” General,” replied the tall member from Chicago, “you are from the valley of Mexico, which 1s 7,000 feet above. the level of the sea. Thus far do you stand above us poor civilians at Washington, whose Be eal duty was to vote you supplies. We did the best we could and wallope you and your brave battalions had powder and salt junk enough to carry ae through.” In this good-humored key the two tall public tune- tionaries contimued talking for halt. an hour, the crowd in the portico accumulating around them, and gazing in wonder and admiration at the war- worn visage of the general, and at the aspiring physiognomy of the Western M. C. cs The old Castilians, on the discovery of America, and for a hundred and fifty years thereafter, were most absurdly superstitious regardin, the unexplored gardens of pare wi which they supposed the new world to abound. Among other things, about the time of Hernando de _ Soto’s invasion of Florida, from some Indian tradition, or some Spanish dream, they became impressed with the superb conviction, that there was a fountain somewhere among the everglades, or the pine barrens of the said llorida, the waters ot which, even to old age and decrepitude, imparted the blessing o perpetual youth. ‘That was some two. hun- dred years ago; and the miraculous fountain has not yet been discovered ; and as for the peninsula itself, and all the waters it contains, let the Florida war speak for them. Let the man who believes this life a humbug go into Florida after the search of that fountain of youth, and the malaria will soon put anend to his stupidity. Senator West- cottisa sensible man. He remains during the recess in Washington, having lost all faith 10 the healing virtues of the mysterious fountain of the everglades. It strikes us that that old super- stition, or Spanish dream, must have ha reference to the numerous mineral springs in this valley of Saratoga, for a fair experiment of forty-eight hours, will induce the invalid to. suppose that these were originally the fountains of perpetual youth of the elix vite, for which the ancient cavaliers of Hispanisca so vainly ex- plored the live oak woods of Florida. And yet we are amply satisfied that the fashionable dispu- tations ofthe summer saturnalia at Saratoga far more than counterbalance the efficacy of the wa- ters in the restoration of health; and that a half- dozen seasons or less, at these springs, tollowed out according to the usage of the first class pas- sengers, are quite sufficient to send the most ro- bust soap boiler to. Greenwood Cemetery or the dissecting room of some philanthropic school of medicine. For the last two or three days there has been an increase of visters among us. he evenings, however, and the mornings, are cool. That pre- monitory dullness, indicatlug the wane of the sed- son is here, although the company, as yet, is_suffi- ciently numerous for a gay re-union at the United States, With Mr. Wentworth and lady, and Mr. Sena- tor Breese, we visited the lake yesterday, and crossed over it in the little steamer R.B. Coleman, to the sulphur springs on the other side. The fountain sends forth a large volume of water, but it is weak and diluted compared with the sulphurs of Western Virginia, which furnish about one- tenth the quantity. The lake and its surroundings are soft and beautiful, while the distant blue mountains give an appropriate boundary of pic- turesqueness to the landscape. There were but few visiters at the spring. Since the burning of the hotel, the place has become unpopular. There were two litle girls at the fountain waiting for customers. The elder, some eight years of age, said she was saving her pennies to get herself an sister a cloak for the winter. They dip up the water, after the usual fashion, in tumblers set in a tin frame at the end ota staff. You drink, and from a penny to a sixpence is the established guid v0 quo. A P We ilso visited the Indians in their tents, in the woods, at the western extremity of the village.— There are several families there, of several tribes, engaged in making baskets, bows and arrows, bead reticules, &c., for sale, and they have been driving a brisk business in their small wares, so that they keep but a small stock of goods on hand. : Politics are at a discount. Whigs, barnburners, and hunkers, appear to be equally perplexed with the game. The position of Mr. Calhoun gives general satisfaction, though nobody can make any satisfactory estimates from it. We had desired to pass over to the jubilee, at Newport, but the hour has gone, and we must even resign the sport of that carnival. r R Now, sir, it is_these things which give zest to the season at Saratoga. The locomotive has ruled off the Carolina aristocrat, with his coach and four, all the way from Charleston. He now comes in with the crowd in the cars, and the quan- tity of champagne consumed ai the dinner table affords him but a sorry equivalent for showing off. The abolitionists have placed an interdict upon his old time cerps of servants; so that, like the reen grocer, who comes to spend two days a this democratized locality, the cotton planter ap proaches the vestibule with his daughters and hi trunks, and the head waiter can scarcely distin- guish the retailer of peanuts from the Pedee aris tocrat, with his negro quarters mustering a thou- sand slaves. The abolitionists have rendered them a contraband article, and the planter, with the good grace of necessity, assents to the 1epri- vation, and goes home, notwithstanding his con- stitutional inequality, with no very contemptible opinion of the North on that account; while his Northern brethren bid him adieu with the impres- and perhaps a Chris- sion that he is a gentleman, ¢ a tian, with a prospect that his soul will not inevi- tably be, damned because he is a slave holder; concurring, to this extent, with Mr, Corwin, the great anti-slavery Taylor man of Ohio. ‘We suspend, Yor the present, these general re- flections, tor a brief summing up of the current record of the day. It was gratifying to observe the heartfelt recep- tion of Gen. Scott yesterday, when he made his appearance in the front porch of this large esta- bhelnient, A_ populous assemblage immediately gathered round him, to shake the great chieftain of the age by the hand. He looks quite a differ- ent character from the Gen. Seott that went down to Mexico. That hard campaign, and the inex- orable chop-logic of Secretary Marcy, have broken him down, though his front still expresses the martial spirit of Lundy’s Lane, and though his air and carriage are erect and stately, He 1s feeble, and broken in heart and body. Before his friends could all shake him by that hand which led his 10,000 men from Vera Cruz to Mexico, he twelve at night, he was serenaded bys band of music.

(From the Manchester Examiner, Aug. 8.] The authority of the Queen is triumphant ia | Ireland, and the rebellion has. been su; (as aweekly journal, with a mimisterial connection, phrases it) “ with less loss of life than has been | occasioned by tne explosion of a steam-bouler.”” But though Smith O’Brien has been secured, and the gaols are crammed with prisoners, the country is held only by military occupation ; and as no rae tional man can contemplate this as a permanent state of things, the general inquiry is—What 13 to be the next movement in Ireland ? If the Morning Chronicle is to be taken, as aflording any indication of the views of leading men in the political world, the next movement about Ireland is to bea party one. In yesterday's paper, there is a long article, showing the stern necessity for something being done, but also la- boring to prove that the whigs are not the men to doit. We fear they are not ; but while we have a strong opinion as to the consistency and the capa- city of the members of the present government, we have an equally strong horror of seeing Ire- land once more the carcass over which political parties are to fight their battles. | It is all quite true, as the Morning Chronicle points out, that the whigs are, after all, remotely accountable for the preseat state of things in Ireland. They made the Litchfield House compact, by which O’Connell kept the whigs in office, they giving him counte- nance, and he sanctioning their abandonment of the appropriation clause ; and though we are not 0 quick-sighted as our morning contemporary, we dare say there are indications of a disposition to patronise a tevival of the Conciliation Hall moral-force agitation, as a substitute for the dan- gerous activity of the confederates. Moreover, we quite agree with the Morinng Chronicle, that we cannot now afford to permit the old game to be played ever again, with no other than the old re- sults ; and that—* If any set of politicians are so weak in resources of their own, that they dare not dispense with the alliance of mercenary and hy- pocritical demagogues, or so committed by their petty traditions, that consistency compels them to e complimen ary to eaiators, they ought at once to abdicate a trust which they are morally dis- abled from performing.” But contemptible as the whig administration has shown itself to be, we must per in the ear of the Morning Chronscle, that it will not get Gra- ham, Lincoln, Sidney Herbert, and Cardwell, back. to office, by playing the old game of the whigs when in opposition. So far as our feelings are concerned, we would rather see Sir Robert Peel at the head of affairs than Lord John Russell, be- cause we have a lingering faith in his business energy, and cannot give up the half hope, that if the necessity for it were driven home upon him, he would attempt something real and substantial as a remedy for the social evils of Ireland. And teh after all, this may be a ‘fond delusion ;” we fear all our statesmen, the Peels no less than the Ruseells, cannot get beyond the spell of hereditary and aristocratic influences ; and it is because this doubt sways us, that we deprecate the attempt, on the Fert of any journal, to turn the wrongs of Ire- land once more into political capital, to serve the ends of any section of our legislators or * rising statesmen.” No—we fear that all movements” for Ireland will end in nothing, until the whole question of Iris misrule is taken up by the English people themselves. As a business people, they ought to do tt, for it concerns them mightily. ‘It they want peace, [re- land is there to trouble them ; if economy, Ireland is there to prevent it; wherever we turn, Ireland glares us in the face, heapmg up our taxes, our poor rates, pouring its ene Into all our towns, deteriorating our social and our sanitary condition, and causing us to be evil spoken of throughout the whole world. The English people have no wish to perpetuate the evils of Ireland, because they fall on themselves as well as on the Irish; but these evils will be perpetuated, unless the English people speak to their legislators and their rulers in a voice not to be mistaken, and tell them that the day has gone by for quackish tampering or small peddling. Would that we saw indications of such a movement on the part of the English people ! ‘The Spectator throws out the fol ing sugges- tion, which 1s not unworthy of consideration. It is true that the labors of ‘special commissions” apt to terminate in the bog of a blue book; but it were possible to realise the suggested pecial commission of government,” and if we had the statesmen capable of framing it, and the men competent to form it, we might see our way eut of Irish darkness. ‘‘ For example,” says the Spectator, ‘it would be possible to frame a special cabinet ministry for the specific mission. Or, to avoid every kind of party implication, it might, be possible to intrust that task to a sp2cial commission of government for Ireland, composed of persons selected without reference to party, and with sole reference to fitness ; the commission to be charged with deciding on the measures that are See ea ee them and administering them, until Ireland should be fairly set going. Such a plan would not be usual—it 1s not to be found in the routine of office; but it is not unwar- ranted by analogy or historical precedent. It could not be, without an earnest will to rescue Ireland from her accursed circle of miseries ; the fact of its adoption would be a gage that at last something was to be done.” One thing is certain, that if the suppressed Irish rebellion was so extensively organised and so widely ramified, as government organs affirm it to have been, then it is all the more necessary to begin early; or if statesmen will stand in the way of Irish regeneration, nothing remains for us but soberly to see if the repeal of the union will not enable us to get rid of an enormous nuisance. Bexar, Trexas.—We rejoice to learn that the trade of Bexar is rapidly reviving, and this an- cient town furnishes evidences that it may, ere long, egain become pre-eminent among its sister towns of the beautiful West. A large number of traders have recently visited the town, from the settlements west of the Rio Grande, and there is a prospect that a lucrative trade will soon be opened between this town and the districts around Barras and Chihuahua. The route from Bexar to the Eagle Pass on the Rio Grande, has been so much beaten by the numerous caravans that have passed on it, thatit resembles one of the largest roads in the vicinity of Houston. The lower route from Bexar to Laredo is also much worn, and indicates that the travel in that section is increasing. The settlements around the town are mee extend- ing, and the large number of new buildings in the town Indicate a degree of prosperity that it hasnot before exhibited since the revolution. The ci- tizens of Bexar expect that the main military de- ot of the 3d regiment of drageons{will be estab- ished there. A market willthus be aflorded to the neighboring farmers for their surpias corn, beet, pork, &c.—-Houston, (Teras) legraph, August 3d.

He considered that his first duty was to his country, and that in all things he must abide by its laws and treaties. He reprobated, also, the idea of forming brigades in this country to invade Ireland. Other, and more practicable modes of succoring struggling freedom there, could be used, and ought to be used.
