Metes from the Summer Retreats. Usarxp Srares Hore, Sakatoga, ‘Anges 16, 1819, —Horses, Liverics—Coats of Arms—Harnes The absorbing topic is still the grand Fancy Dress Ball which is te come off at this house to- morrow night. It is the determination of those who are concerned in the management, to make the ball a good one. The event itself, only ean show how they will succeed. There is at present a great want of fancy dresses for lad Sigaor F. La Fata, the Italian costumer of No.422 Broad- way, 18 here with some haudsome dresses; bat his stock is very limited when compared with the pro- bable demand. J. G. Taylor has advertised to be here but has not yet arrived. The drese-makers and milliners are, of course, very busy getting up all sorts of characteristic ature, but the want of a Targe assortment of ladies’ costumes is felt very much. Henry Clay has just left for Trey, and will not,’ therefore, be in attendance at the ball to-morrow might. It is said that he goes hence to Newport. He has improved in health for the first few days, but could not procure that quiet here which he so mueh requires. Governor Fish has also been indis- ced for a days, but is now, I unde: very well; he attended a hop at the Congress evening. ‘We have been aided materially, in the prosecu- fion of our professional duties, by the polite officers am charge of various departments of this house.— Mr. Gerry, the steward of the establishment, has Just en a us in an expedition of observa- ‘tion through tbe kitchens, store-roo: bakeries, ¢onfectioner’s room, wine-cellars&c. To the un- imitiated, the journey is an interesting one. It re- munds a person of looking in upon the complicated machinery which drives a cotton mill, orany grand piece of complicated mechanism, every department 1s well arranged, well controlled, and all the details well carried out. Some idea of the extent of this esti mt may be had from a view of the fol- lowing items.

At this table, or in their Zoouame ene 750 guests are provided with meals. Next is a table set in a separate room for the pro- prietors of the house and the officers of the. ishment ; then there ts another table for white pri- |. vate servants ; another for black private servants ; another for white servants belonging to the house; and another for servants in the same em- ploy 3 and the cooks and their aids have an exclusive table to themseives. The cooks are allowed wine every day for dinner, and claret is ently distributed ity to the oth coe their pe tables at which the servants are well set out with excellent Provisions, the same, in fact, as that which su plies the other tables. They have persons to wait upon them, and they observe all proper decorum while at their meals. The whole number of em- ployees of the establishment is about 190. The whole number to be 7 si with food—guests, servants, and all —1¢ from 950 to 1,000. We yesterday visited the stables of Mr. Cook, who keeps the horses bel: to persons stopping at the United States Hotel. Mr. Cook also keeps a livery stable, and is one of the firm of Loomis & Co., ae AOR ot the Lake House at Saratoga Lake. He is an accommodating gentleman, and has always been obliging.

The only attire which may called livery, consists of one or two coachmen and footmen, who wear plain box ¢ either drab or btue, with gold buttons or silver buckles, and a couple of servants who attend their employers in white top-boots; and there are only about six or eight of ene, all told. As to coats of arms, we had supposed that there were some on the care nages and harness which we sce daily, but on ex- emnioatios e fois only some trinkets and poane which harness makers d carriage painters are accustomed to adorn their work with; for in- stance, on one harness was a monster's head, similar to that whi res in brass upon the handles of thousands of curry combs; on another he's = Lf and upon ano- » We opine, has no name for any of these devioss, 2 ‘worn at Saratoga in 1849. e turn-outs look gay, as there are really some excellent horses here. : ie around the United States are in course of preparation for the grand event of the Usrrep States Horrt., Sanatooa Sraines, August 16, 1849.

INTELLIGENCE BY THE MAILS, Oar Washington Correspondence. Wasuinaron, August 17, 1849, The Foreign Poly of the Administration—Mr. Clayton— The Cuba and Canadian Questions— The Mission to Mexico— The Bowndary Question The Bloody Contract, &c., §c. The foreign policy of the Admunistration is pa- eific, neutral and non-progressive. The examples of its action in reference to Cuba, Hungary, Prus- ia and Canada, so indicate it to be, in all of which we detect a fixed principle of neutrality, and a rigid devotion to the legitimate order of things. Mr. Clayton is not less a legitimist than the Bour- bons, and legitimacy is a cardinal pemt, as para- mount in importance to him as it was to the Hely Alliance. We have been a listener to the speeches of Mr. Clayton in the Senate for several years. We ap- prehend they define the political ideas of the Secre- tary of State—that a change of position does not change his political opmions or prejudices. We take it, that his political opinions are anti-revolu- tionary and anti-progressive, except in respect to internal improvements. Here he ia progressive to extravagance, and liberal to a fault. We hold thus, he looks with abhorrence upon red republicanism, and with distrust upon all insurrections, whose object is by force of arms to overturn an estab- lished government, whether an oligarchy, a hier- archy, or a dictatorship. He is eminently a man of peace, and a disbe- liever in the progress of enlightened principles at the tap of the drum. He is more a disciple of the doctrines of Hamilton than a believer in the un- harnessed republicanism ef Thomas Jefferson. But more than all, we believe Mr. Clayton to be uncompromisingly hostile to locofoco progressive- ness, and ptedged to the bottom of his heart, to re- sist all locofoco enterprises of annexation, as pre- judicial in the highest degree to the safety of law and order, society and social rights; and in no single issue do we consider him at such deadly emnity with the democrats, as on this very question of the extension of the area of freedom. Mr. Clayton is an orthodox whig of the old school. Policy suggests to him that the world does not stand still, but affection for the old order of things keeps him behind. If he cannot restore, he would not revolutionize. He cannot foresee what dangers there may be in drifting with the tide, and he, therefore prefers to anchor im the stream, for the ebb, which will never return. His experience, his associations, his comfortable estab- lishment in life, his head silvered with the frosts of Ife’s approaching decline, his quiet tempera- men, his disposition for repose, render it absolute- ly impossible that he could discover anything but istasteful innovations in the encouragement of the progreesive and restless spirit ‘of the . Hence, not only constitutionally, but consis with his every inclination, we find the Secretary of State the inflexible advocate of treaty obligations and of peace, in preference to all revolutionary en- terpriees. His policy in regard to Cuba and Canada, re- affirms the Policy the whig party, as opposed to of the extension of the national boundaries. It ree declares the declaration of Mr. Webater, that we are large enough as we are. This doctrine may be selfish, but it is believed to be safe; and the maxim of the old rat becomes the maxim of the government, that “cantion is the parent of safety.” The effect of Mr. Clayton’s policy thus far, Las ven nearly to basjnces, ad com age lency een to tranquilize exchanges, and to enhance the value of Federal and State stocks— to encourage internal improvements, and to invite the investment of private capital in all the great enterprises of peaceful pursuits. But the other effect is equally apparent—the “ extension of the sleds te tne policy of he Siceseiog’ oe nistic ¢ police: ., What willbe the °52, “ Camada and war cry, as were “Texas and Oregon’ and upon that issue alone, with almost any toler- able candidate, the dem will party of this administration. ’ fr. Clayton, officially, has simply done his duty, He could do no less. Bat knowing the man, and the complexion of the cabinet on this question, the politciane y that the Fecont rosleane- tion against “ illegal enterprises,” is a —- on the part of the cabinet hestile to the doctrine annexation. This hostility has always been a doo- trine of the whig party, and the o1 y one yhieg oq have never refused to proclaim in the face certain defeat. The business of annexation, then, as heretofore, will beceme a profitable legacy to the democratic rty. PeEE-Governor Letcher, of [eatecky, goss to Mex- ico, in place of Mr. Clifford. Gov.

There were two other Wot New York, and Gea, Waddy Thongy? tly of New York, an a. fon, of South Carolina. former hae returned to the West ; the latter, by wa: of the Virginia Springs, has gone to South Carolina. It is under- stood that Gov. Letcher, as well as Mr. Ewing, was recommended by Mr. Crittenden to a place in the cabinet. Not being able, under all the circum- both to a department, in of Kentucky and the wishes of Mr. Crittenden, Governor Leicher is the valuable missien to Mexico. Instructions will bly be sent by the next steamer to Lieut.-Col. Fremont, in reference to the Mexican boun line. It 13 important that the line should be settled in connection with the new vernments required for California and New exico, Major Chevallié, late, we believe, of the Texas Rangers, at Monterey, has, we learn, entered into the bloody contract with the State authorities of Chihuahua, for the destruction of the Apache In« id the benefit of all the dians, at a scalp, an _ pang tever the morality of this contract, with his twenty-five men and their six- shooters, will soon realize a rich reward from bloody bargain. Wasurvaton, Aug. 17, 1849. Removals and Appo ntments—Secretary Ewing and a Democratic Clerk—Descendants of Mwe- trious Families—Democratic Aristocracy—The Last of the Palmettos— Ubiquity, $e. In the absence of matters of importance, the subject of removals from aad appointments in the ' office of the suxth auditor of the treasury, occupy a smail portion of the public attention. While the ' auditor was in Philadelphia, the changes were de- termined on, and he returned just in time to wit- | Nese the execution, feeling, that his own head is not so firmly set upon his shoulders that it may not be removed by the first day of the enswng month. Your friend Greeley’s Washington cor- respondent, ‘las Howard, was restored to the desk from which he was at the commence- ment of Mr. inistration, and will re- ceive a salary of twelve hundred dollars per an, democratic clerk in the land office last month, a ex ample, not ayperalty followed, ying ifedena, He had but fifty npg be 0 and 's is with thie, he the next day liquidated Racket on Two days after, having sent a communica- tion to the Secretary of the Interior, signed by forty or fifty clerks, soliciting that his salary be in- | creased, he received a , informing him, that the department had no her occasion for his ser- vices! Penniless, with a ead heart, ne sat | down and asked Mr. Ewing, by rote, to retain him t until the month was out, the might obtain the funds to “ Carry him back to Old Virginny’s Shore.” Mr. Fela | re reply. The ex-clerk, a apg | was determined to an answer verbally ; #0 he watched for the Secretary, and headed as he was on his way to the department. ‘* Ge mérning, Mr. Ewing.” “CG morning, sir.’* “ My name is —, ae you have disch: . 1 wrote to you, asking to be retained until the first of the month, and I wish to know whether you my “yes” or “* my request.” “No, the Secreta ol "us ace losi ihe antl usnally wears |, with « load of books under one arm and a bundle of papers, (probably notifiea- | tions of removals and appointments), in his nght hand, he hurried out of the office. The Union of this morning, in a jeremiade over the removal of John A. Parkes, from “ a small office in Virginia,”’ remarke:—* He is a man of high character and superior abilities, the descend- ant of a tamily which distingvished itselt daring the American revolution for its disinterested pa- triotiem and emment gallontry, and came from the county of Westmorelaad, where Washington was born.” We trust that democracy does not now consist of making any maa @ pensioner on the bones of his ancestors, and expecially if he come from the sterile section of the Old Domi- nion, where “ the father of his country” firet saw the light.
