Mr. Rush—Rendezvous for Americans at Perv—Crops— Major Poussin—Fashions, §c. The National Assembly was opened on the Ist instant. A vast crowd of lookers on surrounded the building, but every thing passed off quietly. The sessions of Monday and Tuesday are entirely void of interest, being principally eccupied ia orga- nizing the committees, &c. Yesterday, there was no session. As yet, no ministerial changes have taken place. Great economy is in contemplation -by the government; the army, if possible, 1s to be reduced to the peace establishment ; but this will not be possible, for France, as she now is, has more to fear from enemies at home, than she ever had to fear from foreign powers; and then, things all overthe continent of Europe, I am sorry to say, have not so peaceable an appearance as they had -this time last year. The Roman affair cannot be said to be finished; and, even if it should be par- tially patched up by this government, depend upon it, it will not long remain so; 1t has been altogether avery unpopular business, and will require time and wise legislation to arrange it satistactorily. The Turkish affair, too, is a speck on the horizon, ‘which | fear will be unother cause for war. ‘T'/ French ambassador, at Constantinople, ( al Aupick, has acked for a fleet to be im aeiately Aespatched to the Dardanelles ; and Sir Stratford Canning, the English ambassador, has asked the same of his government. This, certainly, looks rather warlike. The English minister has also caused several English eflicers to come from Gibraltar and Malta, to serve as instructors in the Ottoman army, which has lately been augmented by the addition of 20,000 recruits. before yesterday, the theatre De la Porte St. Martin was closed, pur ordre de Raion The .

In the midst of his pressing engagements, he finds a ttle time for recreation. I met him, a few days «ago, driving through the Park, at Neuilly, with the ‘Princees Demidoff at his side. He looked more fike a blican Premdent there, than I had ever qaouent could; he was dressed in a plain suit of ‘olack, driving himself, without any attendants, or Garde dw Corps. The matter of extending the Octroi line of s is now under consideration, by which the duties payable at the gates will be ly augmented; und 250,000 metres of land now without the walls, belonging to the city, will be much enhanced in value; if acted upon, the re- venue of the city will be wenderfuliy increased.

The negotiations be- tween the Austrian and Prussian catnnets have all remained without result. Austria refuses to con- sent te the establishment of a umion under the headship ef Prussia, and threatens te make the question a casus belli. For the purpose of proving that she 1s in earnest, she is concentrating an army of 50,000 men in Bohemia, the command of which is entrusted te Prince John, of Austria. The sensation which this step om the part of the cabinet of Vienna preduces at the present moment, when all endeavors to bring about an accommoda- taon between the latter and Prussia have failed, ean be easily imagined. Nor is this the only mea- sure which the Austrian cabinet has taken to show its determination to support the hostile policy it has adopted towards Prussia. The Austrian corps at Vorarlberg, on the southern frontier of Ger- many, has been considerably increased, and eleven: battalions of infantry from Milan have been ordered to join the troops already stationed there. An army thus is concentrated likewise in the south, with which Austria threatens to invade Germany. It cannot be doubted any longer that, un- less Prussia intends to abandon the project of form- ave arrived when the quarrel between the latter and Austria for supremacy in Germany, will have to be de- cided by the sword. The present military demon- a confederation, the moment will strations give ample evicence that Austria is resolved to bring matters to such a crisis, if they cannot be settled otherwise. She has been urged to assume this hostile attitude by Ruseia as well as by her old jealousy for Prussia. Her present position—now that the insurrection in Hungary is quelled, Italy subdued, and a close alliance formed with Russia—is more favorable than it has hitherto been for the carrying out of the policy she has decided upon with regard to Prussia. ‘The government here, in the present state of things, seems as yet not to have come to any reso- lution on the course it means to follow under the existing difficulties. Saxony and Hanover have withdrawn from the Prussian league, though they have not yet formally declared their intention to do so. An interpellation to the ministry on the union question was brought forward at one of the latest sittings of the second chamber, in which the government was asked to declare whether it intended to call together a Revhstag, er parlia- ment, and what course it should pursue ler the present circumstances? The reply, on the part of the ministry was, that the government should not be able to answer the interpejlation until Friday next. In the interval the government has resolved to request the cabinets of Saxony and Hanover to give a final declaration, whether they are wil- ling to join the union or not, after which it will communicate to the chambers its decision. With- in a day or two some result, one way or the other, must now be come to. | 4 ‘The report, which had circulated for some time that the central power at Frankfort had ordered the German fleet, now tioned in the North sea, to proceed to the Mediterranean, for the er ¢ of remaining there through the winter, called forth an interpellation to the ministry a few days ago in the upper chambers. It was maintained in t ‘e same, that, if the central power had taken that | step, there was every reason to apprehend, under the existing state of things, that the and all the States of Germany, with the exception only of Austria, was to be removed from the North | sea for the purpose of engaging it in the Mediterra- nean, exclusively for the service of Austria, and | leaving the northern coast of Germany, in the | event of a re-commencement of the war with Den- mark, completely unprotected. ‘The government was, therefore, asked whether there existed any foundation for the report, and if so, what measures ithad taken to prevent the removal of the fleet. The minster for foreign affairs, in reply to this, stated that the direction of all matters concerning the fleet was still in the hands of the central pow- er, though the latter was no longer recegnized b Prussia. The Breen had not yet receive any official information respecting its removal; but sf the report should prove to be founded, it would certainly take necessary steps to prevent ap violation of the rights of Prussia and of the dif- ferent German States.

The project, though apparently 80 chimeric would take ages to realize it, if itcould be atall, has nevertheless gained general approbation, and the society is daily increasing in number.

Atevery meet- ing of these different Vererne, or associations, it is | required that an officer of the police be present, who is authorized to close the same, whenever to- pics are discussed which might lead to conversa- tio: ‘or.

To relieve the monotony of these meetings, bails are now being arranged on some evenings of the week, instead of them, The ladies on these occa- sions, in defiance of all police regulations, have made it @ point to wear an abundance of red rib- bons, and other emblematic colors, calculated to ‘ive the parties a decidedly democratic appearance.

GENERAL OBSERVATIONS OF FASHION AND DRESS. The warm sunny days of the present week have perueey resuscitated some of those gay summer abilments which en interval of cloud and chilli- ness had consigned to temporary banishment. Bonnets of crape, satin, and poult de soie, covered with crape lisse, have been very generally seen on the promenades at the watering-plac we may mention that many of the bonnets red for the present autumnal season are trimmed with feathere. The tips of ostrich feathers are much in favor. ‘Two are employed in trimming a bon- net; one drooping on each side. Tufts of mara- bouts ere also much worn as ornaments for bon- nets of light materials, such as crape, crinoline, &e. Agreat number of beautiful cocks’ plumes, in every variety of hue, are in preparation for the bonnets of the ensuing winter.

Jt may consist of narrow bands of the same material as the dress, with bows of mbbon in the centre, Another very favorite style of trimming for these open corsages consists ot rows of black lace attached to very narrow bande of the seme material as the dress ; or narrow pinked frills of ribbon or silk, spaced at cyual dle tances on a pidce de poitrene. | ‘The following is « description of two costumes adapted to the seaside promenade at the present season:—I1. High dress of gray or drab colored pout de soie, the skirt trimmed with two broad pinked flounces. A large cashmere shawl, the ground arcen, and the border, exceedingly deep, richly worked in palm tree foliage, pagodas, mipa- rets, &c., preeenting an endless variety of rich oriental design and color. Bonnet of white crino- line, trimmed with groseille-colored therry velvet ribbon. The ribbon is not passed across the bon- net, but is merely fixed in a fanciful style at each side of thecrown The bavolet, or curtain at the beck, is of the same ribbon. Under the brim, on each side, large bows of the same, without any admixture of blonde or tulle. A large damas! rose, with buds and foliage, the flowers bern; nearly as possible the color of the groseille ribbon, as fixed on one side of the crown. | This bonnet is decidedly one of the most distinguished elegancies of the present seasen. 2. Dress of glace silk, in shades ef dark green and black; the front of the ekirt ornamented with bouillonnée of silk. A pardessus of the same silk as the dress, trimmed with pink frills, headed by a quilling, ‘also pinked at the edges. Bonnet of white glace silk, covered with white crape, and on one side a small white ostrich tip, '(1éte {de plume,) ly curled and twisted spirally. vid Messrs, Baring’s Circular, Lonpom, October 5, 1849.
