A few days back, « party of vearlye thousand came to visit us. What we should have done without them, | really don't kwow. They have afforded an incessant topic of con ‘versation for idlers and gossips, since they have been im London, besides which, our places of amusement Dave deem liberally patronized by the Frenchmen. They go in bodies of two or three hundred, to see the view of Paris at the Collosseum, then adjourn for a mid-day visitation of the out-of-door celebrities, wind- img up their doy with visit toonecf the theatres: London is a famous place to be stared at, and you may suppose that our French neighbors are regarded with anemazing deal of curivsity and astonishment. Itis no unusual sight to see a great brawny English gre- madier rush up to a National Guard, and give him a hearty shake of the fist, by way of renewing the entente eordiaic, To show how far this street friendship may be epended upon, | may mention that a couple of English _ grenadier guardsmen, on meeting some of the National Guord in the street, seemed mightily pleased to think their Gallic comrades bad come at last to “ perfidious Albion,” and persuaded the latter to treat them to some refreshment. The Frenchmen generously re- sponded to the request, but no sooner had they placed some money before the shopkeeper, than one of the Englishmen snatohed and ren away with it. He was scon apprehended, and has been sentenced by the civil power to five weeks imprisonment, with the pleasing information from his commanding officer, that wpon the expiration of his sentence, he will be dis- missed the army. The National Guards appear pieased withthe attention that has been generally shown to them during their sojourn in London, and have writ- ten a letter to the papers to that effect. Iam very ‘lad to be able to send you authentic information that mith O’Brien,and his unfortunate associates, will not be hanged. This is not yet publicly announced, but Iam by an authority, on whose statement Tecan place the greatest reliance, that this step was decided at a cabinet council held two or three days Dack. Thus far, itis consoling intelligence; but in what manner they will be treated, or whither they will be sent, is yet a matter of speculation. ‘The newspaper wars, of which [ sprcised ou in my last, have died a natural death, and have ym suce ‘eeeded by others not a whit less venomous or spite- fal. Lieut. General Napier has made a most ferocious attack upon Sir James Hogg, the late chairman of the ia Company. From what can be gathered inky battle, it appears that Napler heard y, upon the authority of Sir James H. ‘been amply remunerated for his at Seinde, having received, as prize money. upwards of seventy thourand pounds. At this the Lieut. Gene- ral was artonished, and forthwith pens a letterto the Standard, flatly ivgthe truth of the statement, and applying to Sir James the epithets of “the Hogg,” “ Hogg,” “ thie man,” &c. Now, after all. it comes out, that auhough the prize money had wot been ac tusily received. it was a matter perfed understood roved of by the East India Company, and was only waiting for some formalities to ba disposed of — General Napier has been very roughly handled for his ‘wngentlemanly letter.

Although the weather has been very unfavorable, ‘| Newmarket was scarcely ever known to be so crowd d. ‘This extraordinary influx of the sporting fraternity is attributed to the doings of the Eastern Counties’ Railway, who decided upon taking passengers to New- market and back for four shillings. The aristocrats on the course loudly complain of this proceeding of the railway directors, who have, as they allege, en- tirely destroyed the selectness of Newmarket. Your Teaders will. consequently. glean from this that there is yet extant in England set of people who adbere te the belief that race-eourses and green fields were only made for the aristocracy to tread upon, and that the man who pays his humble four shillings to the station clerk is not sufficiently respectable to walk in the same county as some of the satellites of the betting ring. ‘The sessions are again on at the old Bailey. and Mullins (whose trial was postponed from the last ses- sions.) is now before the judges. He was concerned in the same insane proeeedings as Cuffey and his gang, and will, no doubt, meet with a similar sentence The | same man who turned Queen’s evidence on the re- cent Chartist trials, has become approver in this so that there are no peculiarities for me to allude to. I cannot keep my letter open to await the conclusion of the trial, but from the evidence already adduced, there does ‘not seem the most remote chance of his acquittal.

What I have predicted for a few days ha3 come to pase—the cabinet isbroken up, Dufaure, Bedeau, Vivien, Havin, and Achille, Fould, have received otlers of aseatin the cabinet. Dufaure and Vi- vien are disposed to accept; but the others have refused. What they wants an entire change— Gen, Cavaignac excepted. All 1s in confusion and uncertamty upon this subject. The vote of yes- terday, upon the question of the suspension of the journals, only adds to the necessity of immediate action, if Gen. Cavaignac intends to save himself even. All power now has gone py the board, and a new cabinet 18 necessary. It must, too, come from the right; for the extreme left has become 80 violent, and are go full of reckless projects, that no adiminietration, except one of terror, could be con- fided to their hands. They cannot complain if Gea. Cavaignae takes his cabinet from the right, for they have driven off most of the considerate men from them. i r There can be no stable administration, under a republican form of government, so long as tne present European practice prevails, of looking to the Ministry altogether, tor the measures of legis- lation, and turaing them out whenever one is Bros posed which 18 not agreeable to the Assembly. No Minis ought to be looked to for such measures, for they will always look to their own existence, quite as much as to the good of the country, and it is impracticable that they can always be in concord with the majority of an As- pankias All I ean say positively, before this letter will be mailed, which must be to-day for the boat of EEL is that the present Ministry is broken down, and all attempts to form anew one have wholly tailed--that the crisis is critical for General Cavaignac himself; and, unless a new Ministry be imme: ai 9 formed, none hereafter canbe formed by him. The attack against Louis Napoleon was one ot the primary canses of breaking down the first Executive, and it has been the cause of the fall of the present Ministry. Fear of his election induced the Ministry to vote for an election of President by the Assembly, and that vote gave the Ministry the mortal blow. : The proclamation cf the Austrian Emperor to the Hungarians, denouncing their leading men and their measures, dissolving the Hungarian Assembly, and appointing Jellichich, the captain of the Sclavee, commissary general over them, has raised an excitement in Austria, which has found its way even to Paris. Civil war now rages in Austria; and the treachery of the court at Vienna, and of the Emperor himself towards Hungary, has been unmasked. It was first disputed, then’ dis- coveied by a private correspondence; and, when concealment was no longer practicable, the cloven foot was boldly put forward. Contradictory ac- counts are received here of the result of the con- tests between the forces of Hungary and of Jelh- chich; but all Hungary has gone to battle, in mass. It appears to me that now is the time for France to purh the settlement of the Itatian question, upon the state of which a good deal of disquietude is felt in France and the Assembly. I am by no means certain that a ministry taken from the right can survive three months; for the moderate and extreme republicans can at any time combine and overthrow it; and upon this foreign question they will be very likely to do so. | All parties appear to be preparing now to push perward the Presidential question, so as to have the lection in November; but there is so much versa- tility in French politics, that what seems to be al- most certain may be very improbable. I think that the state of siege will soon be removed—the suspen- sion of the journals withdrawn—and an amnesty to the insurgents proclaimed. Whether another bloody rebellion will follow these measures, re- mains to be seen. The French had anarchy alter the revolution till they had their rebellion and a ‘ood fight. They complained, during that time, that France was not governed. Since June, they have had a firm and strong government; and now they are tired of that; and, like the frogs who wanted a king, they are not satisfied with any that is gent them, but are in the act of overturning again. They want a constitution that will go on trucks, and roll over upon pullies--having, there- lore, a double rotary motion continually; and the Chamber wants to be the sole agent of this motion. Children! Children! Children! They act like children playing with their toys; and seem to be as incompetent to form a constitutional govern- ment that shall have the elements of liberty and permanency. Panis, October 18, 1848. Defeat of the Ministry — Resignations therein—The Presidential Question—Coalition of the Legitimists and the Orleanists—JApprehensions of another, Revo- lution, ete. ‘This week has been full of events, and like all whieh have occurred since February, unexpected ones. At the date of my last letter, the Cabinet was tottering. It had received blow after blow from the overpowering majority in the Asrembly, who are secretly hostile to the democratic power of government which has been established since February. | announced to you the enormous majority by which it was defeated on the vote for the mode of eleoting the President. Another division took place on the question of the suspension of the journals under the powers conferred by the state of siege, in which, in a full house, the Cabinet only obtained a mojority of five.being in fasta minority, because if the vote of the ministers themselves be sub- tracted, the majority would have been the other way. The Cabinet could not survive this, and the next morning, accordingly, they gave their resignation en masse to General Cavaginac. ‘The position of General Cavaginac has been a diff- cult one. You know his tendencies and his principles. He is a staunch republican, a republican “of the veille,” as they are here called. Heis not, however, a Mon- tegnard ; he stops short of communism. As the chier of the State, standing in the shoes, as it were, of the sovereign, and bound to govern on constitutions; principler, only one course was open to him. He must appoint @ ministry representing the opinions of the majority cf the chamber; but such majority, it must not be disguised, ia the reverre of republican. It was accepted by the republic for peace sake, but it was op- pored to it in principle. Gener. Cavaignac was nat- urally repugnant, therefore, to commit the infancy of the republic to hands which he knew would willingly choke it rather than nourish and strengthen It. He therefore hesitated, and endeavored to make terms, First he tried to'tatisfy the exigencies of the majority by offering to one or two of its members subordinate ministries, such as that of public instruction and | This, however, was peremptorily de- | public works, clined. He then tried to tempt them with foreign af- fairs; but since the revolution, this ministry, which was formerly the principal, has become secondary, and the moderate party in the Assembly would have no- thing less than than the interior. The policy of this demand will be easily understood. The minister of the interior governs the entire ma- chinery of the departments, —prefecta, mayors and mu aicipai bodies. ‘There is not parish officer who does not directly or indirectly derive his inspirations from the ministry of the interior of Paris. When the elec- ding, whether for the Presi. or the Legislative Assembly, interior possesses an immense in- fluence, whether for gocd or for evil. This influence was exercised in the most unscrupulous manner by M. Ledru Rollin. No means, whether of persuasion or in- tirsidation, or corruption, were spared to give the result of the elections the tendencies which this minister de- tired. ‘The moderate party, therefore, was resolved that this should not again occur, or at least that the influence should proceed from and of their own party. Accordingly it wasinsisted upon that M Dufaute, one of the principal men of the moderate party, inclining, however, considerably towards the left, should have the | ministry of the interior. After much hesitation, Gen- eral Cavaignac was compelled to concede this demand, and accordingly, in & supplement of the Monizeur, pub I shed gf a late houron Monday, it was announced that M. Dufoure was appointed minister of the interior; M. Divier, another moderate member, minister of pub- lic works, and M. Freslou, also a moderate member. minister of public instruction. Besides these, the moderate party gained in the members of the cabinet, who were retained in office, these being decidedly moderates ; also, General Lm Moriciere, Minister of War, the brother-in-law of M. Thiers, belongs to that party. M. Thouret, Minister of Commerce, belongs to that party; i, Minister of Jua- although «republican, was against the sudden transition which was effected in February. and who would rather have adopted a regency. The first consequence of the change of ministry was the resignation of M, Ducoux, Prefect of Police. and | an exalted Montagnard; he was feucceeded by M. Ger- vois, 0 name of little note, butgbringing with it nothing offensive to the moderate party. M. Thouret Chauvel continues Prefect of the Seine, notwithstanding his resignation was announced, M. Etienne Arsgo. an ultra democrat. {9 atill Direotor of the Post Office, but his resignation is talked of daily. Immediately upon the appointment of the ministry, it was resolved that its strength should be tested inthe Assembly, and for this purpose # demand for secret service money was made on Monday, Previous to this, the severa! parties held meetings to decide upon the courte to be adopted The party of the Rue de Poitiers net, and, ara mark of con- SUNDAY MORNING, elliation, agreed to support the re-election of M.

The of the Rue Taltbout, consisting of Montagnards, communists and extreme demoorats, resolved to oppose the cabinet as one map, on every point. ‘The consequence of these resolutions was made ma- nifest on Monday evening. There were about 825 mem- bers present, when, after s most tumultuous debate, 570 votes were given to the new ministry, 155 against it,amd the remainder abstained from Voting. ‘This was. of course, considered # decided triamph. The ultra democratic party are literally furious, and the cry on every hand is, that the republic is betrayed. The moderate party are srgmatined a6 royalists in dis- guise—whieb, By the way, is not far from the truth, General Cavaignac is denounced as a traitor to the re- public. Anotherstruggie in the streets is epenly men- tioned, and no one appears to doubt it must enrue. In private the moderates and old legitimiste take no pains to conceal their convictions that things must ultimately return toa constitutional monarchy; but none undertakes precisely to answer the question of Shakepeare’s here:— {Under what King Benzonion ’—Bpeak cr die !” You must know, however, that the legitimists and the Orleanists, have come to av strangement. The partisans of the Duke of Bordeaux have oon- sented to recsgnize the Count de Paris as his heir and successor. The Duke of Bordeaux has at present no issue, and if he should have nore hereafter, the Count dv Paris would at all events be his heir, I¢ is assumed by the family that he will probably have no issue, and this concession therefore to the Orleaniate involves no t sacrifice, Meanwhile, it has the effect of com- ining the strength of the two parties. ‘The other pretender, as you know, is Prince Louis Napoleon, the heir of the Emperor. Prince Louis isa candidate for the Presidency, and at present he has by far the best chance of success. In faot, there is no other candidate who now could have much ground for hope. The friends of Prince Louis of course, regard the Presidency merely as the step to the imperial throne, Prince Louis once President, they think the pretensions of the legitimists and Orleanists would vanish; this latter party think otherwise, and it iseven said that they would vote for Prince Louis, in prefer- rence to any other President. They think that his success would be ephemeral; that the people would get tired of him. as they have successively of all other idols since February. Lamartine rose and fell; Causidivre rose and fell; Cavaignac rose, and has almost fallen. At present the throne of popular favor is vacant, and the only candidate now presented for itis Prince Louis Napoleon. His claims, it is true, rest neither on personal qualities nor om personal tervices, and per! on this very account they are mere likely to be durable. They rest on what is in- communicable—on # quality in virtue of which it is wholly imposssble he can bave a rival—on his heredi- tary claims as the representative of him, whose name associated with the most glorious recollections of nee. Claims resting on this basis, if acknowledged at all, are indisputable ; but how long the basis of the claim will be acknowledged remains to be seen. Some assemblages took place last evening on the ex- terior boulevards, particulariy in the vicinity of the Barriere Poissonniere, where the announcement that a democratic banquet should be presided over by M. de Lamennais had attracted a considerable crowd. Precautionary measures were taken, and notwith- standing there was a certain effervesence, we have not learned that order was disturbed om any point. It a demonstration, in which a great number of workmen, incited by guilty counsels, would take part, was to be made yesterday; but the good tense of the working classes led them to understand and baftle the secret of @ demonstration which could have no other result than to aggravate the difficulties of # position with which the authorities are ecoupied more solicitously than ever, st the moment at which | the approach of winter increares wants and renders them more imperative. From all ree appeals to calm and to the respect of order are addressed to the work- ing classes, and we learn from a certain source that the members of the extreme left themselves decided | last evening, that a sort of proclamation to the p-ople recommending calm, should be profusely distributed this day in the faubeurgs. This proclamation bears the signature of all the members of the extreme left. It is as follows. We leave our readers to say if it be calculated to calm passions, and restore confidence :— “ We are fur from the day on whish, after heroic combate, the republic, issuing brilliant and glorious from the midst of’ vic. tery, displayed itself to the world as the living image of likerty, equality and fraterni'y, as the sacred symbol of all the hopes of the future From one extremity of Burope to ations saluted it with their acolamations, and, the new spinit by the regenerating, breath, the right which besarlf immodiatoly gacherod the the abolition of pris and universal sufftege; in eocial order, the enfranchisement of workmen, first condition of the transformation of labor itself, to arrive ata just- ts products, to the guaranty of the life of ali in a. ntly reeponsible, Socn, however, the compaercad partics united and organised.

Rev. Dr. Baird’s Lectures on Europe. The Rev. Dr. Baird commenced a series of jectures on the present state of Europe, political, social and religious, at the Central Presbyterian Church, in Broome street, on Friday evening last. The proceeds of the lectures are to be devoted to the promotion of the goepelin France. The present lecture, which was introductory to tho course, he said, would be more in the,style of @ familiar conversation than anything else, upon the present state of things in Europe gene- rally; and his remarks on that occasion would neces” sarily be of @ general nature. His lectures would be much the same as those given by him on the same subject, three or four years ago, when he lectured on Europe, at the request of a number of gentlemen, who suggested that he might be able, without interfering with his proper work, to give @ course of irctures which would impart a good deal of information on the state of Europe to the American public. Iie spent a number of years in that part of the world, and has visited it no lees than five times within the last twelve years, Europe is a quarter of the world with which the peo- ple of the United States should be well acquainted; from the intimate relations existing between it and this country. itis, to be sure, but # small portion of the world; but, owing to its great olvilization, ite commerce, its literature, and its great military force, we Hifould be well acquainted with it. It operates on us by its commerce, its arts, its religion, its literature, and by the immense emigration which it pours on our shores, a8 no other part of the world docs or probably can do, And the probability iv, that it will continue to do so, The emigration to thi® country from Europe, during the past year, will not fall far shert of a quarter of @ million. A few y go it did not exceed forty thousand annually; and when it reached sixty thourand, we thought it quite alarming. Now, however, it amounts to two hundred and fifty thousand, and it will go on increas. ing, as lon; orth America offers the advantages which it does to the millions of the old world, or until, in fact, the population of the globe shall be reduced to " equlibrium, The population of Europe is two bun- and fifty million while it comprises not more than fonspeemth, past of the area of the world, its pepuiation is nearly one-fourth. The population is principally om the western side ; that on the eastern side scarcely exceeds sixty-five millions, which is little more than a fourth part of the whole. In regard to civilization, the highest is confined to the westera side, the side with which we have the most intimate relations. In Russia, Turkey and Greece, there is very little show of civilization, in comparison with Germa- ny, Italy or England; the first named countries being, in fact, more Asiatic than European in their charac- ter. As to Russts, it was not considered @ part of Eu- rope until witbin the last one hundred and fifty yeat and to this day the Greeks and the people of Turkey do not speak of themselves as Europeans, or as being in Europe. If s man goes from Greece to Italy or England, he will say be is going to Europe, because the ae of thore countries, as bas before been said, jardly esteem themselves Europeans. It is indeed af- feeting to think that civilization should be confined to the western side of Europe, and that if we add to that, the civilization of these United States, we have almost the whole of the civilivation of the world. No one can travel over Europe without being struck with the fact, that although the population of Europe is Caucassian in its descent, ther are still a great many varieties among them. In tl northern parts, the faces an: ures of yo pl are peculiar and differ Their complexions are lighter, and they have light blue eyes. In the central parts of Europe— Russia, Germa- olland, and England—you haves people whose faces are very different from those of the others. faces are round, with the exception of those of the people of highlands of Scetland, who are to be ranked smong the Seandin: mveh the people of Norway, Swe In the middle parts of Europe, the face hair and eyes are darker, and the people are of greater | tize. If you descend into the touthern parts of Eu- rope, into France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greese or ‘Turkey, you will find the people to be of a much darker complexion than the ethers, with faces still more oval, the hair much darker, and the complexion the same. Thus, we ste,there are varieties in the population of Europe. There is no African race in Europe worth mentioning. The races are almoet wholly Caucassian. ‘There is the same variety in regard to costume, erpe- cially among the lower classes, and in retired places. The middle and higher classes dress pretty much alike, get their fashions from Paris, which city governs Zurope in these matters. If you want tosee the varie- tiesjof costume which prevail in Europe, you must go down to the lowest classes of soviety. in the different oountr: d there you will see it. For instance, take Swiczerland,which contains twenty-two cantons,each of which has a different variety of costume. This manifesta itself ofte: d-dress ofthe women. It is also observable in a portion of the dress of the men, but affecting oftener little things, which are very striking. Some ot those costumes ‘are quite picturesque and i teresting as objects of contrast. The only philosoph : Neds Zag taken of these varietie: costume is, ey a origin of the people.

He first studied law, and then entered the army and rose from the ranks to the station of marshal, under Napo'eon. He was a man that gave Bonaparte a great deal of trouble. Bernadotte was choren king of Sweeden in 1809, after Gustavus the Fourth was chased away, and reigned till 1542, when he died at the age of 80.

Law Intelligence. States Cincurr Count, Nov. 11 —Before bilities of the Ceilector of this Port in relation to the Loss of Bonded -Brivac et al. vs. Lawrence.—In this cause which was decided on Thurs: yr of the plaintif—s, his honor charged, thet this wae ction against Mr. Lawrence, the co!- lector of this port, not in his public character, but against him asa private citizen, charging him with baving been the means of losing property of plaintitts by carelessness and negligence.

If, while in the discherge of his public duties, he goes beyond his pow- ers, and, eith r by commission or omission, commits wrong, he is then to be regarded as a private citizen, \ the ame as any other private individual who may bave | committed a wrovg om the rights of others, In this case, it has been insisted. on the part of the plaintiffs’ counsel, that defendant has been guilty ofan act of carelersners in the execution of his officiel duty under the act of Congress, Wes which the warehousing system Was connected with the collection of the publio reve- nue, and that upon the asrurance of the of that act he is responmble for these goods, The act provides, among other things, that the on im- ported goods be paid in cash, upon making entry, or, if the owner should choose to bond his goods, then the collector should take possession of them and place them inthe publie store, there to be kept with due and reasonable eare, at the charge and risk of the owner, and, upon payment of the duties to be ascertained, the property should be subse- quently delivered. tothe consignee or owner. Now it is true the act provides that, for the purpose of being diepored of in the warehouse, they are usually in | possession of the colleotor of the port, and doubtless under bis eare and supervision, which waa to enable to carry out the pu! of the act, because he is the officer who is responsible for the eollacti chargeable upon this descriptien of goods. I sory, therefore, that nominally those good regarded in his possxssion The act also provides, that, whilst they are in his pos | kept’ with all due and reasonal | doubt, therefore, but it 18 a duty imposed upon some officer who bas there goods in charge, but the law which imposes this duty on him only means such oare as a'prudent man would take of his own property under like circumstances The question here, how- ever, in, who i nsibie to the consignee or owner for the care of these goods during the time they remain in the warehouse! Is the collestor responribio? It is not the question whether those go ds are to remain in the warehouse without the responsibility of gover ment officers or agente, but the question is. whethe the collector, who isthe head of the department, is responsible for his subordinates, by whose negligence goods were lost. Now it is true. that a privat | individual, no matter how extensive the bi cern; they ate all regarded as standing in his place, d as representing him while exerting the powers and authorities he delegates to them, and therefore he is very properly held respovsib'e for the faithfal execution of their duties, and for any damage that may be sus- tained by third persons, by rearon of their nogligenoe or misconduct in the powers conferred upon them ; but once the difference between that case and they f w collector, who has no private interest in the discharge of duties devclved upon him by law. He appoints, if at all, subordinates, not by virtue of any authority in bimself personally or individually, but by authority of law, and such subordinates ra- present not the collector as their principa’, but the government. They are agents of the go- vernment, engaged to discharge its busines, and responsible to it for the execution of their dut'es. Take, as an instance of it, the ollector of this port, in this one department of warehousing, where some thirty. eight or forty persona are employed, in dircharging the business of this particular depart- ment. (there are reveral other departments conneot- ed with the Custom House ef this port, which stand in the seme relation to the collector as the persons en- gaged in the warehousing department,) and if the col- lector is. upon principle of law, responsible for all da- meges that may be sustained in consequence of the default or negligence of all the individuals engaged in carrying on the business of the Custom House of this crt, itis obvious that no man of responsibility, who jad & proper sense of the rink he would be obliged to arsume, would encounter the frightfal responsibility, which would at once be appalling. and in a ease whore he had no private interest. or was deriving no indi- vidual benefit from the agenc'es of those persons. The principle contended for by the counsel for the plain- tiffs, would go; the length of subjectiag every exeou- tive officer to the pena ties of the law, who was bound to procure sub-sgents to assist in the exeention of his public duties, for their neglects, defaults, nonfeasance Cr misfeasance. Take, asan instance, the mayor of this olty. who appointe, or licenses, all the cartmen, as wall an various other agents, in the discharge of the public duties devolving upon bim as executive officer of this city. Now it would be dificult to maintain the propo- sition tbat he is to be held rerponsible for the oarcless- ness of all those sub-agents who derive their authorit from him. The true rule is, that whe: | for, and in the exeoution of hia du employ subordin: duties. that he is responsible only for the employment of faithful | h’s responsibility ends, and if any injury or out of earel rdinal vdually « rec res Mr t mage or mirconduct on the part of at responsibility belongs to them indi-- ¢ party aggrieved must look to them fi r ; aud this principle will be found Inid down by Justice Story, in his book on agenoy, which oon- ns the true dovtrine applicable to the parti are.
