If I am named President, I will not re- treat betore any danger, before any sacrifice, to defend Fociety so audaciously attacked. I wil! devote myself wholly, without mental reservation, to consolidating a republic, wise in its laws, bh in its intentions, reat and powerful by its acts. I shall engage my ono: to leave, at the end of four years, power conso- lidated, liberty untouched, ys ed. Whatever msy be the result of the election, shall bow before the will of the people; and my con- currence is given by anticipation to any just and firm government which re-establishes moral as well as phy- sical order; which effectually protects religion, family, and property, the eternal bases of all society, which takes the initiative in all reasonable reforms, cal animosities, reconciles parties, and thus allows the disturbed country to rely on the morrow. To re-est: blish order, is to restore confidence, to provide, by es- tablithing credit, for the temporary insufficiency of resources,—to restore financial prosperity. To protect i d family, is to assure the liberty of wor- ehip and the liberty of instruction. To protect | property, is to maintain the inviolability of the produce of labor, the indepen- dence and security of possession,—indispensable foundations of civil liberty. As to the reforms that may be effected, the following appeir to me the mort urgent:—To adopt euch rigid economy as, without injury to the public service, will allow a dimi- nution of the ‘most onerous burdens of the people; to engourege enterprises, which, by developing the riches of egrisulture, may in France and Algeria, afford em- ployment to unemployed artisans; to provide for the old age of the operative classes by suitable institutions; to introduce into our industrial Jaws the ameliorations which tend not to ruin the rich forthe advantage of the poor, but to found the welfare of each on the pros- perity of all; torestrain within just limits the number of employées dependent on the State, and which often rake a free people a people of mendicants; to avoid thet dangerous tendeney which induces the State to execute iteelf, what private parties could do as well or better than it. The centralization of interests and enterprises is a kind of despotism. ‘The principle of a republic is opposed to monopoly. And lastly, to preserve the prese from the two excesses which always compro e it—arbitrary interference, and its own licease. With war, there eould be no cure for our ills. Peace, then, would be the most intense of my wishes. France, at the first revolution, was warlike, because she was compelled to be so. To invasion she responded by conquest.

The moderation and forbearance shown by the citi- zens, atatime of the most intense excitement, has been the means of preventing a sanguinary collision: and their passive eubmission since to all the measures cf the government, has placed the latter in a vastly more responsible position, with regard to the policy {¢ has adopted, than would have been the case, if any re- tistance had peen offered. It remains to be seen, now, how the government will be able to justify measures which have teen entirely unprovoked by the citizens; inasmuch as the appeal to physical force, and the con_ tinuance of the state of siege in this capital, must by regarded illegal; if no actual resistance can be said to have been, or still to be, existing. Thejsuspension of all political rights, and the estadiishment of « militar: derpotism, are’ measures which cannot be justified, “unless an actual overthrow of the government is threatened. No such danger could be appre- bended, as I can assure you that the great majo- rity of the people, either from excessive fear of the “red”? republic, or misunderstanding of what true liberty is, still adhere to the constitutional monarchy, beyond all doubt. The steps, therefore, taken by tce government in suppressing all rights of the people, and declaring the capital ina state of siege, are con- sidered illegal, even by the great number of those who would be disposed to advocate the policy of the go- vernment on all occasions. Yut the question now is, will the government here continue to act upon the policy it hasrecently adopted in concert with the central power and the Austrian Cabinet? 1 will not hetitate to say what is generally believed here with regard to that question. The success of the | ipyrerrage if it be fellowed up any further, must lead to @ serious embarrassment. Though supported by some two hundred thousand bayonets, and at the present moment holding the undisputed possession of he capital, the government cannot think of ruling b ® military dictatorship, because it is aware that 4 mijitary despotism mtcnt be successfully maintained inthe Austrian capital, the Prussian people will not endure it for any length of time. The refusal of the payment of taxes,and the embarrassing position in which the government would be placed by it, makes it leas digposed to risk the last degree of its populority for the purpose of maintaining the policy it has adopted, On the other hand, it is not to be doubted that the Yernment will not, in the present state of things, make any liberal concessions. If the liberty of the pro: which is now suspended, again be granted, it wil only be under a censorship. in like manner the right of public assemblage will be restricted. The ministry, Brandenburg, against which daily protests from every part of the country are sent in, will, as 1 have been in- formed on the best authority, resign as soon as the conflict between the crown and the | assembly is adjusted, and a more popular ministry be appointed by the king. The prorogation of the National Assembly, and its removal from here, by which so much excitement and agitation had been caused, have led to the result of an entire separation of the differeat sections and parties continued their sittings here, but were disp every meeting by the military. In direct contraven- tion of the strict order of General Von Wrangel, these members, we may ray at the risk O° their lives, have since almost daily met at different localities in the city. Only yesterday, a meeting of a number of mem. bers was interrupted by a file of soldiera, who disparsed them at the point of the bayonet. To-day an order has been issued by General Von Wrangel, threaten! all who offered localities for the assemblages of m: bers, with the severe penalty of the law. Meanwhile, a part of the Assembly consisting of members of the right, have prepared to meet at Brandenburg according to the royal command, and the first sitting of the Assem- bly in that city was opened yesterday in all form. into The cathedral of the city having been converted the hall where the deliberations should be he and the Assembly having met in the merning, the re- fult proved to be that no complete number of members was prerent. Only 154 had assembled, and two-thirds, or 204, {8 the number required. Nearly all the sections of the Assembly, with the exception of that of th. extreme right, had determined upon not assembling Brandenburg, and thus protesting against the m cures of the king, proroguing and removing the As- sembly. The result is, a defeat of the government. As the Atsembly was incomplete, and the deliberations could not be commenced, the sitting was adjourned until today. This morning the Assembly again met; but no more, members than yesterday were present. In consequence of this the Assembly has again been Prorogued until the 11th of next month.

But it would be unjust to accuce the emperor Ferdinand of cruelty or severity. Weakness is his only crime. He is but the tool of a designing court- the instrument in the band of the archduchees Sophia, who is plotting the downfall of Vienna, and of the | whole democratic party in Austria, for the sole pur- pose of her own aggrandizement. Jn the March revo- | jution Ferdinand showed himself # little more firm and unyielding. An anecdote is related of him which gives atrue insight into his whole character, When the inhabitants built barricades, and rushed in great crowds toward the imperial palace, with petitions andre- solutions, he enjoyed himself greatly. and seemed de- lighted to witness the commotion of © his faithful Vien- nee,’ the miniaters tried to persuade him to eup- ress the revolt by means ef cannon and bayon-ts; but | Ke steadily and peremptorily refused, ‘1 will mot let | them shoot—i will mot let chem Bill my faithfal sub- | jects,” he would anewer to every argumentaddaced by the courtiers, At last he grew angry at the porse- yerance of bis mini:ters, and cried out, at the top of his voice, “Am I emperor, or amI not?

Weshould, however, be uncandid, if id not state that the more general opinion enter- tained here, is, that the French government has acted with too much’ presipitancy in ordering troops to the Papal states, whereby they have given the red mab: canes an advantage over them in argument. It is, however, expected that if the expedition has sailed from Mareeilies, measures will be taken to prevent the troope from landing in Italy, and thus avoid all risk of a collision. This question has had considerable in- fluence on the minds of some of our moneyed capitalists for several days, under the apprehension that the land- ing of French,troops in Italy, underauy pretext, might produce # misunderstanding with the Austrian gov- ernment, and farther complicate European affairs.

Several whqhbad left their dwellings in the upper part of the city, on their way to the theatre, witnessed the fire here, and soon retired to their homes. Bowery Turatax.—The past-week has been a re- markably successful one at the Bowery, and though Mr. Hamblin has lost the Park by last evening's con- flagration, he has still the satisfaction of knowing, that the Bowery remains to himpne of the best appointed and regulated theatres inthe Union, if not the very beet. The company at the Bowery is most excellent; all the various branches of acting, from desp tragady tolow comedy, are well enacted by them; and as for the scenery and decorations, dresses, &c., belonging tothe house, they are most splendid., Thus fally equipped, as he is, for a theatrical campaign, the pro- prietor of the Bowery is well able to retain his eleva- ted position in the theatrical world. Herr Driesbach took his benefit last night; the house was well attend. ed, and the extraordinary performances of this great lion tamer went off with their usual eclat. The other entertainments went off finely. During the coming week, a variety of novelties will be presented, Bnoapway Tueatne.—At the opening of this theatre last evening, Mr. Blake, the manager, came forward and said :— Lapies axp Gextiewen—Tho Park Theatre is now in the midst of the devouring clement, (fire,) which wall throw hun treds of professional friends out of employment. The performers of this ‘theatre, therefore, feeling that they cannot offer their sympathies at the present moment, authorise me to tell you, that, while such 8 celamity is around them, Siey cannok sppear before you on this evening, in the comedy advertised, This announcement was received with warm applause and cries of “ excellent,” “ good,” “capital,” from the body of the house, when the audience immediately left, and the theatre was closed for the evening. Nationat Turatne.— Monselgneur” was played last evening, as the first piece. It is an amusing drama, and we think Mr. Thorne’s acting in it more interesting than in any other piece he has played in during his present engagement. Burke, as the jewel- Jer’s apprentice and Monseigneur’s brother, was capi- tal. The famous “ Mysteries and Miseries ” was next played, and for the last time. Move, therefore, will not be scen again for aseason; but we hope that some new local pieces will ere long’ be got up, to show him and Sykesey off to advantage. “Ella Rosenberg” was the last piece, and the Thornes were much applauded in it, ‘To-morrow, Mr. J. R. Scott, who is engaged permanently at this house, will make his appearance. je is always welcome to the National audien: with care on bis part, he is able to give every 8: tion to any audience. The novel of Wacousta, an In Indian tale, has been dramatised, and will speedily be produced, as it has been in active preparation for some time. Bvaton’s Tueatre.—Mr. Burton appears to be de- termined te keep up with the present march of im- provement in the theatrical line, by getting up new and attractive pieces almost nightly. Last evening s new piece was performed, touching on the present gold mania for Califofnis, embracing some very excel- lent hints to thore who are about to embark on the gold digging speculation, receiving the general appro- bation of the audience. This piece, called th fornia Gold Mines,” was remarkably well p! received from the audience well merited “ Where’s Barnum’” finished the even’ menis, together with the “Tragedy Queen,” all o: which’ were received with much delight by the nu- merous audience. Broapway Circvus.—The attractions here continu® still to draw immense houses. Messrs. Carroll, S geant, Nixon, and the clowns, are the theme of u: versal admiration; and the equestrian feats of Mrs. Nixon in particular, are loudly applauded each eve. ping. We would recommend every citizen to go and fee the entertainments at the Circus. Thecelebsated clown, Kemp, will appear here on Monday evening, Zoorocicat, Hatt.—The fine condition of the many “prisoned tenants of the fore who are to be seen here, afforde, to their many visiters, much satisfaction during their visits.

Full details of the foreign news received by the steamship Niagara, which vessel arnved at Bos- ton yesterday, wil! be found in this day’s Herald. Our columns are so much crowded that we can- not possibly find room for any extended comments on this news. As may beperceived at a glance, itis of the greatest importance 1n a political point of view, and tully bears out what we have repeat- edly stated, viz: that the repose, or absence of ex- citing revolutions, which has prevailed in that part of the world for some time past, was but the calm which precedes the storm, and that eventu- ally, the spirit of democracy, so long latent, could not be repressed permanently, but that it might be smothered, to break out, however, with renewed vigor and indomitable strength. Such is the case in Rome. The people, or their direct representatives, are in full control of the government; the Chambers are about to be con- voked, and the power of the Pope, as a temporal prince, 18 virtually at an end. The probability is that the Seven-Hilled City will, after the lapse of ages, be a republic again, tor the tendency to that ferm of government is making rapid progress in Europe—especially in Rome, Italy, and Ger- many. The Austrio-Italian question, it appears, is about o be patched up by the mediation of France and England; but it will be patching up, and nothing else. If any conclusion be arrived at, we do not think it willbe of permanent duration, for the rea- son given above—that free government, in the shape of democracy or republicanism, will, sooner or later, be in the ascendant in that, as it will be in every other European nation. The excitement in regard to the Presidential election in France, still rages. Before this, the great question who shall be the executive of that country for the next four years, has been decided, we hope peaceably and in an orderly and satisfac- tory manner. Prince Louis Napoleon’s rhanifesto, which will be found in to-day’s paper, has, it ap- pears, inclined the scale still more in his favor, and makes it almost certain that he will be elected. Weave no room for further comments to-day, and must leave our readers to draw their own conclusions on the details of the news which we furnish so amply. Caltfornia Geld Mines. We are in receipt of intelligence from the gold district of Calitornia, of a date later, by nearly one month, than any news from that quarter which we were previously in possession of. This intelligence will be found at length in to-day’s Herald, and wil! be read with more interest than common, in con- sequence of the fever and excitement which the vast auriferous discoveries in that part of our ter, titory have created in this city, and threughout the whole of the country. It will be seen by this news that a meeting of the people of California has been held, at which Measures were adapted to fix a value to the gold dust, which the diggers were obtaining in as great quantities as ever, on the borders of the several streams which run through the gold region, as well from the soil, and that a memorial to Congress has been adopted, praying for the establishment of a mint there. The fever, it will also appear, still rages with violence, and the yield of the preerous metal is as abundant as ever. Later From Havana.—by the steamship Isabella, at Charleston, S. C., we are in receipt of files of th® Faro Industrial to the 9th inst., three days late’ han previousaccounts. There is nothing new go- ng on in Havana, nor do we find anything of in- terestfrom any other part of the world in these files- The opera season is going on swimmingly—allthe artiets seem to be in the enjoyment of high favor and full houses are the rule. The opera of the “ Puritan” had been sung very successfully. Ma. tint, as well as Beneventano, had been most en- thusiastically applauded in it. The California fever has not yet appeared in Cuba; at least, no mention 1s made of it in the papers. Arrest or Yorna Bracn.— We understand from good authority, that P. .F. Barnum, Esq, who was sent to Europe in search of Beach, for abstracting funds"trom the bank to the amount of $17,000, in the city of Bridgeport, in Octo- ber last, succeeded in arresting him in Paris, and obtaining $1,600 of the money.

TERRIBLE CONYLAGRATION—THE PARK THEATRE IN RUINS—SEVERAL OTHER NVILDINGS DAMAGED. It is our melancholy duty, this morning, to chronicle the total destruetion, by fire, of the Park Theatre, in this city. This sad event took place last evening, about s quarter past six o’olosk, an hour before the time appointed for the performances to take place. | About that time smoke was seon to issue from the | Fear part of the establishment, which butted on Thea tre alley, a small street running in the rearof Park row, from Ann to Beckman streets. The announcement was made immediately that the Park Theatre was on fire; and in a few minutes after- wards, the smoke poured from every window and sky- Yight im the building. Soon # fame shot forth from the windows, and in an inconceivably short period of time, the whole building was enveloped in fire, When this occurred, the scone was frightfully aud terrifically interesting. The dark peavy clouds which we:e hur- ried across the firmament by a strong easterly wind reflected the illumination and lighted up the city so fully that a pereon could read ordinary-sized type ata distance of half a mile from the scene of the conflagra tion. Crowds of persons, far and near, attracted by the glare, burried to th ne; the fire belis pealed the alarm, and the whole metropolis was in a state of com- motion rarely equalled. The firemen were on the spot with their accustomed and praiseworthy alaority, and in less time than we have taken to write this much of Our narrative, as many as forty streams of water were being directed on the burning edifice, But human effort seemed of but little avail in stop ping the progress of the destroyin Tho flames whisked and danced, as if in defiance of the attempts to stop their destructive career, and in abou half an hour the burning rafters were visible. All hopes of saving the theetre were then abandoned, and the firemen directed their attention to prevent the adjoining heuses in Ann street, Beekman street, and Park row from being destroyed, Accordingly, they sorrowfully left the theatre to a fate which they were powerless to avert, and played their streams on the Property most in danger. Their efforts were crowned with success, There are various conjectures as to the origin of the fire. M. Martini says he was in the theatre about half- past one o'clock, when the smell of vitriol was 10 strong that Mr. Dawson, who was engaged in the re- heareal of a comedy, was obliged to stop, not being able to go on in consequence thereof, and when the Monplaisir troupe assembled afterward, they were also obliged to suspend their rehearsal. He spoke of the unpleasant smell, and said something about vitriol: when he was told it was gas; but he says he is satisfled it was not the gas which produced such a smell, and he thinks the house must have been filled with an in- flammable gar, whieh caused the whole interior to be wrapped in flames so suddenly. When the fire firs broke out there were several ladies belonging to ths troupe and ballet, who became very much frightened and one of them swooning, was rescued by Louis, the servant cf M. Monplaisir, All the rest escaped, It is said by those who were in the theatre at the time, that the fire originated from the scenery taking fire from the gas light over the prompter’s stand, which, being of such inflammable material, caused the flames to rpread with great rapidity. Only about one-tenth of all the costumes were saved, which were very valuable, especially these of the Mon- Plaiser troupe. Mr. Hamblin’s lors is about $25,000, upon which there was a very trifling insurance. The building belonged to Messrs, Astor and Beekman, and Was worth $30,000, upon which there was also a trifling ineurance. ‘The flames communicated to Earle’s Hotel, adjoining, the rear of which was partially destroyed, The most of the bedding was rafely removed, though the other furniture was considerably broken, and the whole building was flooded with water. I'he damage to the furniture was fully insured, The injury to the house is probably $2,060, which was insured 9 The fire alsocommunicated to Clarke's House, which sustaived trifling damage by fre, though the furniture ‘was conciderably injured by water. They are both five Story houres, which was the cause of their taking fire #0 quickly, The Park House, a five story building, was at one time thought in imminent danger, though by the exertions of the firemen it sustained very triding de- mage. The Fountain House, adjoining the east end of the theatre, took fire, but was extinguished without material damage. A building in the rear, on Theatre alley, took fire from the heat, bat o single stream of water at cnce extinguished it. In one hour and three-quarters from the time the fire ‘was discovered, the flames were subdued, with a loss of property to the amount, including the costly costumes of the theatre, of probably $60,000. It is twenty-eight years since the Park Theatre was burned, and yester- day was the anpivereary of the great fire of 1835, when an enormous amount of property was destroyed, Avxotnrk Fine—A Woman Burnep to Deatn. fire broke out about half past 4 o'clock yesterd, ternoor, inthe building No. 62 Ann street, in which woman, whose name was not ascertained, was burned to death by her clothes taking fire, The house suffered but little damage.
