The state of siege being removed in Paris, al- theugh the press is prohibited from declaring the real sentiments of its authors on that unholy and disgraceful intervention, we see signs of dis- content that certainly have an ominous bearing. Knots and coilections of people are seen in the streets, discussing political matters in any but a way friendly to Louis Napeleon; and the journils of the day go as far in denouncing the whole fo- reign policy ot France as they dare. The> Répub- lique, the recognised organ of the bourgeoiste states in reference to that subject, and the Hungarian struggle, that ‘The French government is the right arm of the msg: nanimous autocrat.

No; never since the time of Charles Vi., when the treason of Burgundies aod 4r- magnoes opened the heart of France to the English— nover did our unfortunate country suifer such depth of humiliation. The Stécle, the organ of the moderate republican party, is equally as emphatic respecting the Roman intervention. Under the shadowef the French fiag. the cardinals revive the tables of ‘roseription of Gregory XVI., ro- establishing clerical monstrosities, including those of the inquisition. and piously declare a bankruptcy of 85 per cent. The measure is full! Although the clubs are prohibited, it is easy to perceive that sentiments of this kind, expressea by the journals mentioned, are well calculated to ex- ercise avery important influence on the public mind of France, ef a character hostile to the pre- sident. The siege being removed, and the legisla- tive Assembly being adjourned, the excited and discontented ‘population of the capital will have both time and leisure to brood over their prospects, to dehberate on the sentiments thus expressed by the public journals, and perhaps concoct measures for the overthrow of the existing president and ministry. The idea is deeply roeted 1n the public mind of France, that Louis Napoleon is, after all, only a kite in an eagle’s nest; that he is a counter- feit only of the Emperor, and that they have not gained anything by the revolution which drove Louis Philippe from his throne. These things, in connection with the universal condemnation of the Roman intervention, as well as the general toreign policy of the new president, and the increase of the hostility to Louis Napoleon, which the return of a portion of the French army in Rome, who are represented as very discontented, will cause, render it not improbable we think, that before long there will be some serious attempt made to overthrow the present order of things in France, The power with which Louis Napeleon is invested, TRANGER—San- z. au MECHANIC'S HALL, Cuaisty’s Mixetae.s--Vorses Muarcar.

The tenor of the news received from Europe, through Austrian end Russian sources, by the steamship Niagara, is already keown to our reads, ‘That intelligence, we are confident, pro- duced a greater sensation, a more melancholy im- pression on the public miad of this great commu- nity, than we ever witnessed. No sooner was it published to the world, than our citizens, of all parties, classes and countries, felt as if a sudden and direfal calamity, an irretrievable misfortune; had befallen them—aindividually and collectively. They were surprised, astonished, palsied, thunderstruck. Never, in all our experience, have we seen euch a sensation as the reports of the defeat of the Hungarians produced on the people of this great eity. It was only the other day that we were electri- fied with the continued successes which they had achieved, despite of the armed hosts that were op- posed to them; 1t was but a very short time since we were informed that the enemy was ia full retreat before them, and that they threatened even the very capital of Austria; it was but a few days siace that our citizens unanimously formed the opinion that in a few weeks we would hear the glorious tidings that Hungery was a nation—that her gallant, death- daring and liberty-loving sons would, in a short time, under the leadership of the intrepid Kossuth, overcome all her enemies, and take her station among the great family of nations ; but these flat- Ing expectations, those joyful anticipations, accord- ing to the latest intelligence, were doomed to be dis- appoiated. In a melancholy hour, Fortune, which smiled so favorably on the cause of Hungary,from the commencement of her unequal straggle with her Austrian enemies,and her continuance of it with both Austria and Russia, forsook her banners; might prevailed against right, and, if the news is reliable, Hungary—poor, bleeding, oppressed, but gallant, noble, daring, and chivalrous Hungary—lies pros- trate before the perfidious tyrant of Au: and the imperious and savage despot of Russia! What a fate for such a noble country!—what a @alamity! —what a deplorable consummation !—what a sad issue to such a glorious struggle by a glorious na- tion! But isthe news of her fall true and re- liable ? Our foreign files and correspondence have not yet come tohand. We entertain the hope, not- withstanding all, that the cause of Hungary is not yet desperate.

The Roman intervention is, of itself, sufficient to create such a determination in the public mind of France, for notwithstanding all the prejudice that exists towards the French people, they mean what is right, and if they are deceived, as they have been in a great many instances, it is because their good nature has been imposed upen by wily politicians last.

In order to settle the matter, we publish the fol- owing correspondence, which has recently taken place between the counsellor of a petitioner and the Pension Department, on the subject. 50 Waxt sracer, New Youx, Sept. 3, 1849.

Considerable flutter and excitement was apparent, yesterday, in the United States District Attorney and Marebal offices amongst the clerks and officers, al- though the most profound secrecy was observed. It leaked out, however, that the Collector received infor- mation that a vessel was to leave thts port, yesterday, with arms and ammunition destined for some-port in the neighborhood of Havana, Mr. Maxwell immedi. ately communicated with the District Attorney, and, | iteeems, they were closeted together the greater por- | tions of Tuesday and Wednesday, taki: stize the vessel and frustrate the des! spirators, The result was. that the commander of the revenue eruixer, on this etation, and the deputy mar- shals, received orders to be ready to act at a moment’s otic Yesterday, it seems, Mr. Hall made the important discovery that there was “something inthe wind.” He tent @ requisition to the commander of the navy yard for all the marines at bis disposal, with their arms aud ammunition.

By a despatch from Albany, we learn that General Zachary Tay- lor, President of the United States, was to leave that city last evening, in the steamboat Isaac New- ton, for New York—and the General has probably arrived here this morning.
