From the Pennsyivenien, Jangary 18 ) The eine extract of a letter, from a highly respectable and intelligent American gentleman in Turin, discloses an intrigue between Louis Napo- leon and the Emperor ot Russia 1n a manner so reasonable, and supports it by circumstances so striking and plausible, that we cannot refrain from laying it before our readers. The writer has pe- culiar opportunities for observauon, and 18 one of the best informed men in our acquaintances, Since his letter has been written, Louis Napoleon has been elected President ot France, and the plot here Jaid bare will doubtless ahordy be attempted: — « Purim, Nov. 80, 1848. It will be remembered that the Duke de Lichtenberg, the youngest son of Prince Eugene Beauharnais, who married a Bavarian Princess, was united afew years ‘ago to the daughter of the Emperor of Russia. ‘This ton. in-law of the Emperor is the first cousin of Prince Louis Nopoleon, (the latter being the son of Hortense, sister of Eugene Beauharnais,) whom the French are, n all probability, about to make @ President, as a ping stone to the re-establishment of the Empire under vhe sovereignty of the same personage. Now it is found, within a few weeks past. that aparty has sprung up in Paris. in Petersburg, and in Milen, in favor of settling the Italian question, by restoring to the Duke de Lichtenberg, the son-in-law of the Em- espn Nicholas, the throne of Lombardy, oocupied by is father, the Prince Eugene Beaubarnais, a3 a Vice Roi of the Emperor Napoleon. If the preliminaries of an arrangement between this Government and Austria should not be decided on before the election of Prince Louis Napoleon to the Presidency of France takes place, there is every reason to believe that his whole influence will be directed to the accom- Plishment of the object to which | have adverted, and thatinfiuence seconded by the power of Russia, can bardly fail to succeed. It is to be remembered that Russia is really the only power which is in a posi- tion to impose unacceptable terms upon Austria, ex- cept at the close of a war, in which the latter may flad herself compelled to accede to such conditions as her enemies may propore. B.Not 60 with Rusia. Her gigantic military strength is & standing menace to the very existence of Austria as an independent power.

Popery and Poverty. There has been in this country for the last twelve months, a Protestant clergyman, named King, who arrived here on a collecting mission, or begging enterprise, for the purpose of collecting funds for the propagation of Protestanism in Ire- land. He was very successfulin his mission, and collected a handsome amount of money. Those of our readers who heard this gentle- man’s discourses, are aware that the great argu- ment which he used for the purpose of reaching the pockets as well as the hearts of the American people, was, that Popery was the chief and great cause of the poverty of Ireland; an4 a liberal sup- ply of Protestantism, and afew thousand bibles, would, he said, be a panacea for all the evils which that unfortunate country suffers under. A dose of Protestantism, one would almost think, from the gentleman’s discourses, would have as wonderful effects as the celebrated pills of the Eastern quack, which were warranted to cure the ague, cleanse and purify the system, rock the cradle, and mend the hole in the kitchen stairs. Mr. King succeeded very well indeed in effecting the objects of his mission, for he recently went on his way rejoicing, with his pockets full of money, to be expended in curing seven millions of people of Popery and poverty, and making Ireland what her poets have painted her—the garden ot the world, ” 6 Firat flower of th sirat gem of the sea, All by the magic influence of a good sound dose of regular out-and-out-dyed-in-the-wool Protestant- ism. The success which Mr. King met with in col- lecting funds in the United States, for the object of making up for the deficiency of potatoes,caused by the rot, with a supply of Protestantism, has in- duced other retormers of the same stamp to try their hand too at this work of philanthropy. A re- | cent arrival has brought to our shores two gentle- men, who represent themselves as delegates from Insh Protestant churches, to solicit aid for the fur- therance of the gospel in Ireland—as, of course, a cure for all the evils of that country--social, ; political, religious, moral, financial, &c., &c. These gentlemen are of the same school as Mr. King, and unite with him in the opinion that Popery is the cause of Ireland’s poverty. We do not know whether to go quite as far as Mr. King did, for he asserted a year ago, that the only sup- ply of food which that country needed, was one ofre- lgious food—-of bibles—Protestant bibles. A good supply of those books once furnished, Ireland, 1n his opinion, would be safe beyond all peradventure- | United States. Those gentlemen, however, do goso far as to say, that where exists Popery, there exists poverty; and as there is more Popery in Ireland in proportion to its population than there is in any other country, ergo there must be more poverty than in any other country. Of course, then, Protestanism is the remedy; and as they want money to purchase the | remedy, they come three thousand miles across the Atlantic, to seften the hearts of the natives, whoee pockets they are desirous of emptying. We will not dare to say that the gentlemen to whom we have referred do not conscien- tiously believe in what they preach, as the cause of Ireland’s poverty. We will say, how ever, that if they do believe it they deceive | themselves, and permit their prejudices to over- | rule their judgment. It 1s the system of reli- gious prejudice and persecution, of which thes: gentlemen, and their predecessor, Mr. King, are living,breathing examples, which 18, to a great ex- tent, the cause of the present unfortunate position of Ireland and the poverty of her people. How can they arrogate te themselves to assert, that where Popery is there there must be poverty. In what condition were Catholic countries before Protestantism was ever heard or dreamed of? How were Ireland and England situated then? Were there any poor laws then, or were the wise heads of the land engaged in devising means to prevent intermarriage and promote emigration as remedies On the first of January. note in suit was ented at Cuyler’s Bank, to effect such renewal; was Rhere told that. tire was in Troy for ovilection, could not be a.

Away with the idea; and the good sense of the country should put dowa those who come to the United States to fool and deceive the people of this free and enlighteaed Jand, by such cock and bull stories. It 19 religious prejudice that has caused a great portion of all the poverty and degradation of Ireland, by dividing the people, and thus making them an easy prey to the Saxon conqueror. The tyranny aud despo- tism of the invader have done the rest. Tue Steamer Uniten Srares.—Atthe request of the merchants in Havre, the departure of the United States from that place, for New York, would be deferred until the Sth inst. A meeting was held in St Louis, on the 28th nit., and A resolution adopted, to request that city to rubscribs $500 000 towards the construction of @ railroad from Cipeinnati to St Louis, Unraruiamentary, VERY Hon. J. Brooxs, M. C. gixct, anpD THE Hon. Mr. Foor, or Tax Sen- atx. —The Hon. Master Brooks, member of Con- gress elect from the sixth district of this city, in the character of editor, pronounces the State of Missiseippi “ the father of lies; and Mr. Foote, Senator from that State in Congress, by impli- cation, not only a “liar,” but “ a hangman,” to boot. Is this parliamentary ? manly ? The occasion of uttering such extraordinary | guage by one gentleman of Congress not yet in Washington, to another gentleman who is there, arose trom a declaration made by Mr. Foote, that the Pres dent elect, General Taylor, was decided- ly in favor of the annexation of Cuba to the Uni- ted States, and that he had so expiessed himself. Ot the authority on which this delaration was made by Mr. Foote wecannot say anything; but certain}y there is nothing, we think, in the person- al or political history of the Senator from Missis- sippi, which would leaa an unprejudiced person to suppose that Mr. Foote would make such an im- portant declaration in his place in the Senate of the United States, without having some founda- tion for his belief in the matter. Probably we may hear more of it before long. In the question of veracity between the Ion. Master Brooks and the Hon. Mr. Foote, experi- ence, thus tar, proves that the former has not much more character to rely upon than the latter, It may be remembered that the first intimation given in the public journals of the commencement of overtures by the American government to the Spanish, upon the subject of Cuba, was made in the New York Heruld; a general statement of all our information at the time, was then given. That general statement, published by ue in good faith, and upon reliable authority,the Hon. Master Brooks, who pretends to be a gentleman anda polished man, had the audacity and the impudence to cha- racterize as a forgery and fabrication, made in our office, in New York. It appears to be ahabit of this gentleman, who by some strange accident and mistake, has been elected to the House of Repreresentatives, to rush upon prema- ture conclusions, and to use language to Senators as well as to editors, which is only fit for the lati- tude of the Five Points or Corlaers Hook. Fur- ther intelligence has satisfied the world, that the intormation first given to the world, in the New York Herald inrelation to Cuba, was perfectly correct; and judging from late appearances, there may be more in the declaration made by Mr. Foote in relation to the annexation of Cuba, than any one is aware of. We wait for further infor- mation before we will disbelieve it, merely be- cause the Hon. Master Brooks calls it a “lie,” and from the “‘father of lies.” General Taylor, as President of the United States, may adopt worse measures and more un- popular, too, than that of the annexation of Cuba. ‘We have supposed that he was opposed to further annexation—but we knew no more about it than the public—yet know of the materials of the incoming cabinet. INTELLIGENCE FROM THE West InpIES AND Vk- NEZVELA—CartuRg o¥ MARACAIBO—ARRIVAL OF vue Dex.—The royal mail steamer Dee, Capt. Allen, arnved this morning from St. Thomas and Bermuda, with advices from the former to Jan, 2, and trom the latterto the 7th. We have re- ceived no papers from Bermuda by this vessel to latest dates. The Dee leaves again this morning, from the Cunard Wharl, Jersey Uity, for Bermuda and other West India Islands. t The Dee brings intelligence from Venezuela down to a very recent date. Letters have been received from St. Thomas, dated Dec. 30, confirming the capture of Mara- caibo by the Constitutional forces, and also giving the further news of the taking of the important port of Coro, the capital town of the province of the same name, by the forces of General Paez, It was expected that the General would shortly effect a landing on the coast of Venezuela, and his suc- cess is predicted as sure. The steamer Buena Vista, now in the service of Constitutional forces, had safely entered the lake of Maracaibo, and joined the fleet of Gen. Paez. ‘The paitisans of Monagas had spread a rumor in Puerto Cabello, that his fleet had required the fort of San Carlos to surrender within 24 hours, and that the commander of the fort had asked tor 48 heurs to deliberate. No credit whatever 1s given to this rumor, by intelligent persons, as the capture of Maracaibo has given new strength to the fort. The screw-propeller Scourge, for New Orleans, arrived at Puerto Cabello, as previously stated, in charge of a prize crew, having been taken from the bar of Maracaibo, where she had anchored, short of fuel. The Captain and Mr. Ellis, our Consul, proceeded to Caracas to claimher. About the Ist Dec. she was taken in under the Castle, and the American flag hauled down, but the following day was taken out into the harbor and her flag again hoisted, in consequence, it is believed, of a protest on the part of the American Consul. Opi- nions were divided as to whether she can be con- demned or not. The precipitancy, on the part of the government agents, it was thought at that place, would bring Venezeula into collision with the We give this as it has been ru- mored, and for what it is worth. Files of the St. Thomas Tidenda, to the Ist inst., have come to hand, but they contain nothing what- Is it even gentle- | ever of a local character. Exsction or a UNITED States SENATOR BY THE Leaisiaturg.—Our accounts from Albany, in re- lation to the election of a United States Senator in the place of Mr. Dix, begin to assume a very interesting character. It appears that the old moneyed influence of Wall | street has revived, and will probably attain an im- portant position and influence on the movements ot the Legislature at Albany, as well as uoier the administration ef General Taylor. It is stated that the chances of Mr. Maxwell, of this city, for the Senatorship, are brightening every day, under | the pressure made by the moneyed influence of Wall street, who want an able and talented man in Con- gress, that would be naturally devoted to the views which they entertain in prospective. The sugges- tion recently made by Mr. Fillmore, of creaung a new currency, having an “odor of nationality” aboutit, by the deposit of United States stocks basis of bank issues, and the receiving of such currency for dues to the government at the Custom House, seems to be the natural progeny of the moneyed influence of that region. The financial power of the new administration, 18 a prize worth seeking by certain monied men in Wall street.— The election ot Mr. Maxwell, who is imbued with all those notions, and this novel plan of a new currency, would seem to confirm the views enter- tamed, that under the new administration there will be an attempt to revive the moneyed political power of Wall street, which has been lying dor- mant for the last twenty-five years—particularly since the era of Rufus King’s senatorship and John Quincy Adams’s administration. jonable Intelligence, During the pact week several recherche affairs in the thape of balls. have taken place.

After all, we confess that all these beauties of theatrical witchery and representation, are ephemeral, momentary, and pass off as rapidly as all the sudden flashes of sublunary enjoyment ; but, nevertheless, while the biaze of the short lived meteor of human pleasure passes for moment in all its glory before the eyes, one may legitimately say, perhaps with a little Unexpressed contempt, “it is really very eplendi So much in general upon all that is beautiful in this world.
