Affairs on the European Side of the Adlantic, Our Liverpool Correspondence, Liverroot, August 23, 1850. The Arrangements of England for the Pacific Mail | Steamers—Sule of the Cunard Steamers Caledo- | mia and Hibernia, §c. §c. Tam able to assure you, on unquestionable au- thority, that the British government has just con- eluded an arrangement with the Pacific Steam Navigation Company, (whose head-quarters are in Liverpoo!) fora fortnightly mail contract, for a pe- | Tiod of ten years, between Panama and Valpiraiso. Tam aware, also, that to meet and carry out this service as early us possible, the company have already contracted for three additional iron steam- ers, of great speed and capacity, which will leave England, for the Pacific, in the course of nine months. In the meantime, the existing arrangements, namely—« monthly mail service throughout the whole line, and a bi-monthly service between Cal- Jao and Vulparaiso—wiil be continued by the said company, which hold, fortunately for themselves, exclusive privileges from the loeal governments. Their stewmers touch, to land and embark pas- sengers, und, likewise, the English and local mails, at no fewer than thirty-two ports on the round voy- age; and it is certainly, in a measure, ludicrous to find our eld, good natured, yet overtaxed friend, John bull, magnanimously providing this mail service, (which ts available equally to all nations of the world) at that distant part of the globe, at an expense of from £20,000 to £30,000 per annum; but from which service the palen exchecquer does not receive more than £ ayear. [tis true that the trofiic in goods and passengers along the coast of Peru, bolivia, Chili, Eeuador aad New Grana- da, (a ste. ming distance of considerably more than 3,000 miler) is totally inadequate of itself (i. e. Wwithou! the aid of government pay) to support even amonthly steam line. Meveribaicse. we are about to witness, and benefit by, a bi-monthly line of stew You must be awere that itis a netorious faet tho: when Mr. Wheeiwright, the originator of this sh steam company, first introduced two sieeiners on the waters of the Pacific, the re- sult wes ruinous to the proprietors, and but for the aid of the British government the enterprise must have been altogeter abandoned. A very different field is that between Panama and Sav Francisco, thanks to California. There, the steamers of the United States people are re- alizing a rich harvest. The foregoing facts could not, I thought, fail of being interesting; and | rather plume myself on having—I may, perhaps, say exclusively—obtained this early intelligence on the subject. | I can inform you, too, that the Hibernia and the Caledonia have been sold. The Caledonia has finished her work in the service of the Briush and North American Mail Company; and the Hiberaia commences, to-day, her last voyage in that service. To replace these, two steamers of greater power and length than the Asia, will be, without delay, constructed. The Africa will leave Greenock, for this port, in a fertnight hence. Our Parts Correspondence, Pants, August 19, 1850. The President's Touwr—European Affawrs—Schies- wig- Holstein, §c. Louis Napoleon, as we are informed by tele- graphic despatches, has proceeded as far as Lons | le Saunier, in the Department of Jura. You will see in the French papers which | forward to you by this mail, the whole details of his reception at Macon, Lyons, and other small cities through which he passed. give you these particulars—which may be found ia all the newspepers; | wish only to furnish you with the revers de la médaulle, and all the chit chat which is not detailed in the journals of France. Itis a Certain fact, that our President has not met with the enthusiastic reception he expected to receive during his journey. The persistence of many indi- viduals in his presence to shout “ Veve la Répu'- ligue !”’—the true anecdote of the Mayor of Mont- bars shaking hands with Louis Napoleon, un- til he forced him, by the pain he felt from that violent grasp, to cry, at his turn, “ Vive la République Démocratique—the canuts (silk work- men,) of Lyoas, uttering, also, the same cries—ell these things are proofs that our President has found many oppoaents to his views among the popula- tien of our departments. As for his speeches, no one can deny that they are stamped with the spirit of a great and serious politician. One may remark three important declarations in these speeches :— firet, the repudiation of a coup d'état ; vecond, the entire submission to the wishes of the people; third, the display of the French flag in opposition to the white flag of Weisbaden. It is weil, also, to say that not a word has been said by him about the National Assembly, the great power of the na- tion’ You know how much, ordinarily, the Presi- dent of the United States, in every paragraph of his discourses or messages, givescredit to Congress for all the good accomplished in the country. In this ovation, in France, Louis Napoleon does not men- tion the legislative power; but with the desire he has to express that his oaly objectis the welfare of the country, he calls attention to the name of his uncle. [1 is, in my opinion, as well as in that of the party diem pensant in France, a great proof of ingratitude de fa part of Louis Napoleon, for never has an Assembly been more geaerous than the present one, towards the chiet execative: Perhaps the President does not think so, and hence the project of freeing himself from its power as soon. le.

In short, it is too true to say that we live in an epoch in which it is very difficult to fore- wee the events of the next day. From Germany we have had no positive news for the last three daye.

After his death the crown of Denmark fall on the head of Prince Frederick of Hesse, whose rights to the country he derived from his mother who was the sister of the late king. But Prince Frederick has no mght upon Holstein, since that country belongs, by right of birth and inheritance, to the Duke of Holstein uanerebonne Therefore, by the strict applica- tion of hereditary principles, Denmark would be separated from the Germanic confederation and thus the “ European equilibrium” would be ex- posed.

An hereditary prince will be found; and, during his life, Frederick VIL. will bestow upon him the right he has need the kingdom of Denmark. The Duke of Oldenbourg is said to be chosen as the person who will cut the gordiaa krot. Numerous details are furnished by the German papers of the gigantic armaments made by Rus- sia, through her dominions, both in her seaports and in her encampments. The Russian fleet amounts to 165 sail, divided as follows: 4 men-of- | war of 120 cannons; 6 from 100 to 110 do.; 26 from_ 80 to 90 do.; 18 frotn 60 to 80 do.; 30_fri- gates; 50 corvettes; schooners and brigs. This fleet is divided into five parts, which are now in | the Black Sea and in the Baltic. The war-flag of Russia is white, with a blue cross. A large body of troops, amounting to 18,000 men, is encamped near Riga, in Courlande, and busily engaged is manauvering and learning the art of war. van allthese preparations for war? Time will discover. A ueaty of extradition has been signed between France end Spain, and no doubt it will produce much good between those two countries.

Mr. Du Breuille (Charles) has been named at- taché at the French Embassy of Washington, and will leave Paris for the United States at the end of the month. Mr. Vermot has also been named Vice Consul of France at Baltimore. Let me, before closing this letter, direct your attention to a very good article published this morning in the columns of the Journal des Débats, relative to the project of an international exposi- tion of industry in New York, to take place in the year 1852. The proposal of Mr. John Jay Smith is appreciated at its just value, and it to be hoped, for the interest of both countries, it will be taken into consideration. B. H.R. Panis, August 22, 1850. The President om has Tour—The Ball Dificulty— His Progress—The Portuguese Affair, §c., §c. There is, as I wrote, much uncertainty about the character of the reception made by the people of our departments to Louis Napoleon. The news- papers of Paris are daily publishing the most con- | wadictory articles on this subject; but, as far as [ can judge from their news, our President is fol- lowed, in all the cities through which he has | already passed, with a sort of hatred which will undoubtedly do him more good than injury. I cannot pass with silence the event which took place at Besancon on the evening of the 19th inst. | The citizens of the capital of the Department of | the Doubs had prepared two balls—one at the Grand Theatre and the other at the Grain Ware- house. The President wes to pay a visit to each | of these balls; but before starting from the City Hall, he receiving a communication trom the police that there was a plot to insult him at the Bal des Halles. Louis Napoleon answered with calmaess and energy, that he would nevertheless go to the bail, “relying on the sympathy of the inhabitants.” He therefore proceeded on his way; but as soon as he had entered, he was enveloped end surrounded by about a thousand people, who ut- tered the most violent cries against him, as: A bas Napolicn! A bas le faiseur de comps d'état! A bas le meurtrier de la Constitution! Vive la République démocratigue et sociale! The aid-de- camp of Louis Napoleon, General Castellaine, was obliged to protect the President; and even the gendarmes invaded the place and protected him aguinst such an unforeseen attack. Justice ought to be rendered to the sang-froid and courage of the President. He remained quiet (impavidum ') ia the midst of that gang of men sans aveu, and looked on them with a sort of contempt, which was his only Weapou egainst euch enemies. At the ball of the theatre, where he proceeded after he was disengaged from the crowd, Louis Napoleon re- ceived the most enthusiastic welcome, and there was but one person who uttered the ery of Vive la République Rouge! and he was immediately ar- rested. At Strasbourg, where he arrived the next day, the President mec with a very cool reception. Such is, inashort résumé, the amouat of news received from the departments, es far as to-day. Louis Napoleo ed by his min ind is receiv- ed by pi » is, the army, end National Guard. The clergy, even, have con- senied to join cour, which ir authorities, and all that rai de quite in harmony with our repub- lean principle far as the word goes), is wasult- ing to the socialists, who, fortunaiely for us, are net enough in number to create danger in France All this is not a reproach against the President far as Lam concerned, but it leads me to the cou- clusion thet the republicans who made the cons i- tution are more monarchical than they believe themerives to be, and that France, which is not as tonished to see euch @ treumphal march, is stl less republican tha all its governors, At Mew, the Prefect prepared for Louis Napoleon the bed in which the Emperor slept oa the eve of hus departure for Russia. If Louis Napoleon is a litle euperstitious, he will not be much flattered at such deleate attentions. The retura of his presi- dential travel ought not to resemble that of the campaign of Rossa. The President, when he un- dertook his journey, on the very da gation of the # before che Repre: ate the impression whic oul. n tothe population. The expense: journey will absorb the three millions c# given to_him by the Assembly, and it is certain that, in 1861, the embarassments of the Elysee will be double, 1 that anew appeal to the Chambers will become apensable. It had been said that M. de Girardin intended to Strasbourg before the arrival there of the nt; thet a sort of oration, in opposition to the Liected of the 10th of December, was epared for him by the sein! ists of that city ; but ppears that the ex-publisher of La Presse was advised by some friends to remain in Paris, and well he did Whilst the chief of the government promenades in the provinces, the mountameers are also runoia: here and there to reassemble their men. Many @ them have remained in Paris, which is the focus of their intrigues, and where their influence is greater than anywhere else. A number of these dasperedoes were arrested the other day by the po- lice at La Villette, and sent to prison. It is well known that the mountaineers are now divided into two ca : that of the Parlementatres, and that of the Révelwtionaires. This last section receives daily communications from their friend refugees at London ; as tor the former, they have only to | aim to be protectors of the Constitution-Marrast, and they deny to have any oe of renewing the | bloody scene of 3.

The Danes are displaying great activity in order to increase their forces, in case of another fight. On the 17th inst, at Kiel, a naval battle, winch lasted three hours, took place between the steamer Geyzer, belonging to Denmark, and the Schleswe- gian steam frigate Lave, which was escorted by two boats ,with cannon. These last men of war conquered, and the Geyzer finally retired. {tis certain that Austria has now more influence in the duchies than ver had. It is to be attributed to the serious demands of Austria that orders have been given to the Danish General-in- Chief only to occupy the Duchy of Schleswig, without proceeding further in Holstein. _ In the meantime, the King of Denmark is going to abdicate, and this, it is said, will be the signa! of peace in the country. It is to be hoped, for the sake of humanity, that a mediation will soon take place in the affairs of the duchies. At Rome, the Pope has ordered mass to be cele- brated every year, on the 10th of August, for the repose of the souls of the French soldiers killed during the campaign of Rome. General Levail- lan, Mr. de Rayneval, and ail the principal men of the army, assisted at the celebration of the mass. ‘The financial aflairs of the Papal States are not ivfvery brilliant order. The decree on paper bills created a terrible impression, for it was considered asa forced loan. Bankruptcy is already feared in the ministry of finance. R At the same time, the robbers are occupying the whole territory of Italy. In the neighborhood of Bologna, these birbant: are daily attacking the travellers, who have been very numerous lately, returning from the fair of Budrio and Lugo. The news from Portugal is of a very peculiar character. 1 was told, this moraing, by a gentle- man acqueinted with the Minister of Fomien Af- airs, that Commodore Morgan, of the United States Navy, sailed from the mouth of the Tagus river, expecting to meet at sea the Portu- guese man of war Vasco de Gama, returning, by order of the government, from Rio de Janeiro, in order to take up her position at the entrance of the Tiver, opposite the forts of Belem, and thus to op- pose a strong force to the American fleet. Com- modore Mcrgan, wishing to avoid the combination of the land and sea forces, departed with the Uni- ted States men of war Independence, Constitution, Cumberland, and Mississippi, to take ion of the Vasco de Gama. We shall see what will take place in those waters. . In Turkey, it is stated that the affairs of ria were on the eve of being settled, when the Turkish troops attacked their enemies, in spite of the treaty, and killed about fifteen hundred men. The war still continues, with more fury than ever. de rtine arrived at Florac on the 19h inst., on his way to Mende, where he goes to spend a few weeks with hig brother-in-law. ‘ M.

The journey of the President has somewhat checked the animation of Paris. The passion for political excitement, the expectation of some un- foreseen event taking place in the departments, and changing the state of our affairs, has some in- fluence on the dissipation which is daily observed in our public places. The theatres, with the ex- ception of the rainy evenings, which have been very numerous during the past week, have been empty, and, in spite of the efforts made by the managers, did not pay expenses. The gardens, where Terpsichore has established her funny and fancy balls, have been deserted, and all attention is new directed to Lyons, Strasbourg, and other cities where Louis Napoleon is now remaining or has been. We have enjoyed, on three different occasions, the sight of Mr. Gele’s balloon, the “ Royal Cre- morn,” which was engeged by the new manager of the Hippodrome, and went up in a very brilliant style. On Thursday last, the day of the ‘* As- sumption,” (an excellent day for it, but very bad weether,) in spite of the rain felling in torrents, Mr. Gale end bis balloon, in which he had given ceats to a gentlemen and four ledies, ascended in @ northwest direction, and its eerial journey was very succeseful. It appears that es soon as they hed gained the region ebove the clouds, the pas- sengers encountered the reys of the sun, and en- joyed the most admirable sight ever beheld by men. Mr. Gale, I understand, will soon cross the Atlantic, not in his balloon, but on a steamer bound to the United States, where he intends giving exhibitions of his practical science as an aecronaut. Duels have been fashionable during the fortnight; several representatives of the National Assembiy, atthe head of whom I will mention Messrs. Bis sette and Perrinon, met at the Bos de Boulogne and tried their skill with foils. On that occasion Mr, Perrinon was slightly wounded on the face, and his honor was declared avenged. But the result of a challenge which took place betwen two American gentlemen—one of Philadelphia, the other from New Orleans—will be known ia a few days. These gentlemen had a quarrel about a lady, at the bali of /a Chawmiére, and after afew woras, each other. You may imagine the seandal which was the result of such a gross ineult in public; the police interfered, and the two belli: gerent young men were bound to keep the peace, and, in order to obey the ticklish laws of louor, they left Paris on Friday last for Belgium, where the rencontre is to take place. I will let you know the end of that affair The famed Lola Montes created much excite- ment last week, on account of her flare up from the Cité Beanjon, where, as | informed you, last winter, she had token her residence in company wich Nr. Heald, her beloved husbend It appears that the upho'sterer from whom she had bought the lw part of her furniture, was to be paid ow the 14th inst ; and, having called at the residence of the Countess of Landeld,he was told by the fair one that Mr. Heald had departed for England without leaving her the amount of the bill; that he would return on the next day and pay the same. The vpholsterer, half-satistied, retired; but having spoken of bis case to some friends, returned on the next mo} hen, to bis amazement, he saw in frout of the of Mrs. Heald, an immense cart, loaded with pieces of furniture, which he recog- nived ae bis owe. He immediately went to the Commissaire de Polire and requested his veto to thet moving sans fagon of ne Lola without Reving his bill payed. The famed lady, during | that short visit, had vamosed, and left the house- hold in the hands of her ¢ editors. Among the things which are not yet paid by her, | will men- tion a splendid picture by Mr. Jaequand, tepresent- ing the “mermaid” and her husband, which is a chef @awere of the art, and will beextebited at the Dekt expors oft museum at the Louvre.

I cannot leave this part of my chit-chat without mentioning the law-soit against Mr. Eugene Sue | by his conchmaker. The representative member ot the National Assembly denied, in a letier, that he owed anything to any coachmaker; bat it has been proved that the author of the “Wandering Jew" ordered one of an Américaine for the price of four thousand francs, which he delivered to him, and for which he never paid.

At the Comic Opera House, Mr. Perrin is coin- ing mcney with the two new operas, ‘*Le Songe dune nuit d’Eté,” and “Giralda.” Another new musical play will also soon be produced. At the Theatre Frangaise, Mr, Arene Houssaye relies upon the success of **Le Chandolier,” and is waiting for the autumn with the appearance of a few new débudants and débutantes, making their first steps on the floor ofthe stage of Moliére. ‘The Vaudeville Theatre has produced a short vaudeville, in one act, called ‘Le Pere Nourr- icier,” which was very successful. A new farce, dipropos, entitled ‘Les Pavés sur le Pavé,” (the pavement on the pavement) is in rehearsal, and will be produced, in a few days, with a new drama in five acts, named “Les Orpl elins du Temple.” The Théatre des Varrétés is still seeking a gold vein “Californie,” « r panorama imitated from the description Col.

Clariville, Siraudin and Moreau, which contains the funniest situations, and which is beautifully per- formed by the able company of Mr. Montigny Le- moine. The theatre la Porte St. Martin will shortly be re-opened. - j The censors of the Ministry of Interior have inau- gurated its creation by the ar | of the drama cf “L’ Enfant de Paris.” Itappears that the demo- ratic-socialist principles contained in the dialogue were considered as too much incendiary, and there- fore toe exciting for the spectators. A new drama, by Mr. Paul Feval, will be produced to-morrow evening. Alexander Dumas has furnished the plot. of enother drama for the Theatre Historique. His novel of the “ Corsican Brother” was adapted for the stage by Mesers. Grange and Xavier de Mon- tespin, und met with much success. An actor, Mr. Fetcher, is very remarkable in the double part of the brothers. The Vaudeville of La Débine (the prey) at the Folies Dramatiques, and the melodrama ef “T’Hotel de St. Elo,” at the Délassemens Comiques, have also been received with the appro- bation by the public. The company or dancers of Mr. Rousset, of whom 1 spoke to you in one of my last letters, as being on the eve of their departure for the United States, = ared last week on the boards of the Theatre de Ir Gaite, and were received with much deserved applause. The four young ladies who are at the head of the stock, are graceful, elegant, and fine dancers. No doubt they will meet with the plau- dits of the New York public, in the presence of whom they intend making their début. Another company of equestrian stars is also on the eve of its departure, under the able care of Mr. Risley, the celebrated American propellor of gymnastic and olympian games, who visited Eu- rope afew years ago im Company with his two lovely children. ‘ofessor ley, knowing well the taste of his countrymen for the noble art of horsemanship, has contracted an sonegmesst for two years with M’lle.

Friday being the anniversary of Latayette’s birth- day, the French military company, called the “ La- fayette Guards,” celebrated it by xoursion to Striker’s Bay. This was the day which gave birth to one of the greatest men of France, and one whose me- mory is deeply engraved on the heart of every Ame- rican. At ten o’clock, A. M., the Lafayette Guards, numbering about fifty men, left their armory and pro- ceeded down Broadway, headed by Dodworth’s Band, to the foot of Canal street, where the steamboat Sam- fon received them, with the numerous iadies and gen- tlemen who had been inyited to this /éve. Among the guests who took part in this celebration, we observed Mr. E, de Lafayette and Mr, de Lasterye, grandsons of General Lafayette, who lately arrived in this city; Mr. Berg, the French Vice Consul of New York, and some other gentlemen, whose names are very well known for their respectability and the esteem in which they are held by the community. When the company and all the invited guests had arrived, the Samson started from her wharf, and went to Btriker’s Bay, where she landed her animated carge. There the Lafayette Guards, Captain Leclere, to whom this company of militia owes its perfect or- penton and its present Pay gies! were reviewed y Mr. E. de Lafayette and Mr. de Lasterye, the latter entieman being bimeelf Suara im Paris.
