"New York, Friday, November 29, 1850, _ Telegraphic Sammary—A Breakfast for Re- publicans—The Texas Ten Mililon Bill, ‘We have received by telegraph several important items of intelligence. From Halifax we have some additions to the news already supplied, through the same medium, by the arrival of the Europa at Unat port. The long anticipated re-assembling of the Na- tienal Assembly of France furnishes something iike @ substantial breakfast te those who have watched the progress of Louis Napoleon. At last he has shown himself, in his speech, to be any- thing but the ambitious man that he has been pic- tured. At least, he has yielded to the will of the people—has thrown himself entirely upon the rep- rerentatives of the nation at large, and in this respect has established his claim to be regarded as the friend of his country. The political philosopher mey conjecture ihat there is shrewd diplomacy ia | this unexpected aet of compliance to the will of the | mejority, but there are very grave reasons why this | course, under all circumstances, is best fora man | who can gain nothing by establishing the dynasty | ef Napoleon. In the present state of Europe, Louis | Napoleon, by steadily consulting the wishes of | France, can wear more laurels, and enjoy more | reel popularity, than can now be the lot of any | monarch. We shall look for his speech with no | ordinary interest. The Catholic question still remains open—but | there seems to be only a little political capital | sought by the agitation of it. One fact, however, if it is one, as asserted, is signilicantenough. The | government are said to have been privy to the in- | treduction of the pastoral Popish movement. Ia this case, the pious indiguation of Lord Joha Rus- sell, as it emoked through his recent letter, must be considered very remarkable, and as virtuous as that which used to characterize some of the Ro- mans, in the days of the republic. As the matter now stends, Cardinal Wiseman and the govern- mentstand now in an attitude which will furnish e# ood chance for the genius of ** Punch.” Per- haps it will figure the government as a stork, with its heed fastened in the small necked pitcher of Catholicism, held by the sagacious Cardinal The Prussian and Austrian difficulty is begin- | ning to take efleet—ond n er need be consulted astothe probable future in Europe. Should the | trouble not be erttled by an early mediation, no- thing can save Europe from anether epoch of revo- | lutions and turbulence, which will distract even | Kussia, end awake the dorment fires in Southera | ltaly. Every arrival will be interesting, for while Germany is torn to pieces by political and warlike convulsions, the whole frame of Europe will sym- | pathize in the struggles. We are beginning to see the growth of those seeds which have been planted 80 cautiously duri last two years, by the royal hands of s and counter-plotters on the old continent rvest is at hand. The L ature of Georgia, at its last session, an- ticipating the subsequent action of Congress, and holding to the doctrine that the admission of Ca- lifornia, according to her titution, or the ad- miesion of New Mexico a State, would be a greet outrege vpon Southern rights, passed a reso- lution requiring the Governor to call a special con- vention of the people, in the event of either of these acts by Congress. [tn pursuance of this requisition, soon «fter the admission of California, Governor Towns issued bis proclamation, calling for the election of the eaid convention, to deliberate upoa the important question whether Georgia isto sub- mit or resist. The convention is to meet on the 25th of December. The election of delegates has taken place, upon the issue of union er disunion. The Union party, as appears from our tele | | | report, have sweptthe State. This may be con- sidered a reaction toclamation of Governor Towns bed a decided leaning to secession, and was followed up by a series of Southern rights meetings, which gave avery gloomy ton nd quite an impulse to the throughout the ce yates shows th to Georgia politic Secession Move The late elect 4, ar m tton region t Georgia he Union rly attached tc ted by South Carolina as the d off in is still t She he proper tis nm he work of secessi Souh Carolina will ¢ ¢ hoped that results ofthe Georgia Conventi a. abide by th The n Million bill has completely triumphed in Texas, os appears from our despatches, by a v he people of four to one—Senator Rusk advociting the measure as a Southern triumph This, too, looks well for the Union j Tus Union Movement Paooressine.— Our read ers will find in another columa, a fall report of the | interesting proces * which took place ia City Hall yesterday, on the introduction of re. Caer, Cobb and Dickinson to the Union Sefety Committee appointed at the great Union meet- » Garden, a short time since. Those die cn were received by Mr. George omed them, in a strain of peculin petriotiem, patriots who deserve | well of their country—as public servants who were true to the (rest repoeed in them—as men who nobly stood by and defended the Union, when it was aseviled by Northern fanaticism on the one hand, and Southern ultraism on the other. To those men and the ir compeers the country is deeply iodebted for the singleness of purpose and disregard of all eelfish considerations, which they exhibited | during the trying ecenes of the last Congress. But, | as has been remarked, the work which they so gloriously commenced is not yet finished. The abolition vipers and adders have been only scotched, not killed. The finishing stroke—the coup de grace—has yet to be administered to them ; and we hope it will be done during the next ses- | sion. We are rejoiced to see that the great | Union end Constitution movement at Castle | Garden is still ative, and that it has not proved eo evanescent as the disunionists expected it would be. It is still alive; and, under Heaven, we hope | it will be successful in putting down and silencing all egitators. From the commencement of this great and petriotic movement, we have believed in ite ability te accomplish a vast amount of good— that it was calculated to interest the reflecting portion of the people, and bring into action a class | of citizens who had remained aloof from public matters, until the danger was at their doors. We but speak the eentiment ef the people when we eay, op, on with this glorious cauee—halt not, sleep fot—the eyes of the country are upon you, and the hearts of patriots, both old and young, beat in unison with the cause whore glorious banner you are bearing aloft to the gaze of the world, very the ing at Ce tingui genth Wood, who w eloquence can no lenger be resisted, the republic will be ex- tended to the Isthmus, and to the Russian posses- sions around the pole. The law of progress, and the spread of the Anglo-Saxon race, will ultimate- ly put North America under our control. The main point, however, has already been gained on the land. The eagle has down across the continent, and he is now screaming for the dominion of the sea. Here will be the next scene of our triumph. During the revolution of °76, when the naval power of England had almost reached its height, there was little opportunity for a maritime struggle between the parent country and the colonies—for we were withouta navy. But the American pri- vateers boldly adventured upon the ocean, in the very sight of British line-of battle ships and fri- gates, either distancing the enemy in the chase,or fighting hand to hand against fearful odds, whea they could no longer escape an encounter. But when the second war with England began, although Nelson had swept the seas of every rival, and the cross of St. George was unfurled on every ocean, yet the idea of an Americen navy had begun te dawn, fuintly it is true, and we hed a few battle vessels on Lake Erie and the Atlantic, which, in their engagements, drew from the British Ad- miralty an order vn all English ships not to fight Americans, unless the odds were on the British side. The names of Decatur, Macdonough, Per- ry, Lawrence, and others, are associated with achievements which would have honored the noblest navy in the world. But what did we do for those brave men while living, and where are the monuments we have erected over their ashes? ‘We have done something for our army. We have have been proud of it. It has been a school for chivalric feeling and brave deeds; and it has now become almost a matter of course to go to the army for Presidents. We vote fifty millions for the army, to carry on a war. Who ever thinks of the navy ? How hard is it to geta bill passed, even to pay for carrying the mails to Europe and Califor- nia—and then it is charged to the navy as an ap- propriation! We seem to grudge every dollar that is spent in giving protection to American commerce and American citizens in foreign countries. It is all felly to say that we have yet done anything for the navy—we have not yet thought of one. The thing we now have, which we call by that imposing name, is made up of men, without vessels—anid brave men, too, as all the world knows. But, to show that we are not ranting or beating the air, let us look at facts. Here, we are a powerful nation of some five and twenty millions of people, covering a continent; doing what no nation ever did before—looking off from one coast over an ocean towards the east; and from the other boundary, four thousand miles distent, looking on another ocean towards the west—with resources which cannot be calculated, and a fature which, if it correspond with the past, will outstrip the golden age of poetry, or the crea- tions of fable—with a thousand millions of men in other countries standing aghast at our progress— with a commerce which is whitening all oceans ; and yet, this nation has very much such a navy as would accommodate the aquatic excursions of a fifth rate German prince. Let us out with it—it consists of about seven thousand men, all told—not half enough to make one respectable naval eng ment, if all were concentrated and all in commis- siou! We have not, at the present moment, a single line: of-battle ship in commission ; and as for steamere, ‘the eyes of a navy,” (as Nelson used to call his frigates,) we have but one abroad, and one here, in this port ; three more are dragging their slow lengths along, with a prespect of one day get- ing up steam. The question might be asked, by a very inoffensive person, whether our West India equadron, at this moment, can boast of anything more then the little Flirt schooner, mountiog four poo-guns, and forty men. And yet, in the West | Indies and the Gulf of Mexico, questions are soon to be settled, which involve evea the right of our citizens to cross the isthmus; and any hour, w may be brought into collision with half a dozen | foreign fleets ; and day by day, our national flag is | subjecied to the most humiliating insults, on that | very seme ground. Even old Spain, dead and bu- | ried—hopeless and almost popeless—can get up an | excitement; and a grand hidalgo comes flaunting | along our southern coast, with a fleet of new steamers, end a formidable and splendid arma- ment! And yet, what has Isabella at stake on that gold-laden, fruit-embowered gen of the | Western Archipelage, compared with ourselves ? And then there is the Pacific, whose calm waters now reflect not the “ freighted osies” of Spain, or Indie, or England, but five hundred of cur whalers in the North Sea, aa"many of our rov- ing merchantmen, and a score of steamers, made engersand gold. What protec- only to transport pas tion have they? thank God, and three second class sloops-of-war Tey say that the St. Mary’s is also on her way out there—but what is all this? They wonld cercely make respec teaders to the British fleet which hovers along the Pacific coast. How is it, too, on the shores of the Mediterranean, that 8 of fit * monopoly sels there, and nglend has eixty coast of Africa, by force of a treaty, we keep up a squadron, and it happens to be the most numerous at the very place wh all.

We boast and brag from Maine to California ; and yet to-day an armed Br- tish steamer could pase the Hook and bombard New York! We ought to be more modest. These facta are facts ; and the time has come sober- when the nation is going to look at them. Things cannot go on so; something must be done soon, or it will do itself, and in a way, as Carlyle s of the Bread end Butter question in England, that will please nobody. Our empire, in its epreadings, hes brought collisions already ; and it will bring more. Sensible men have pretty much made up their rtinds that this republic cannot be stoped Moreover, it is compelled, alteady,for want of room on the land to take te the, sea What then do we want? Congress pass a bill for twenty-five steamers ¢ first clase, and let one sail the firet of each month from New York—one the Sthofeach month from vorfolk—one the 16th from Charleston—and one the 24d from New Orleans.

Dr. Williams, (high church,) President of the Theological Seminary, in Hartford, Conn., was put forward asa candidate, but without any suecess. The Convention then adjourned to the evening, when the name of Dr. Seabury was with- drawn, and that of Bishop Southgate proposed instead. The sum total of the day’s proceedings may be stated in a few words. After five ballot- ings, there was no choice, and the Convention ad- journed. According to the ballotings, the Rev. Dr. Williams was elected four times by the votes of the laity, and Bishop Southgate three times by the votes of the clerical delegates. Under these circumstances, it was suggested, informally, that the friends of the Rev. Dr. Williams and Bishop Southgate confer together, for the purpose of arranging their difficulties and agreeing upon a candidate. This was agreed to, The apostolic suecession of the Epiecopal Church of thie diocess depends, therefore, upon the result of the caucus about to take place between the adherents of these rival candidates, in a back room somewhere up town. Tne Wasmineron Union ano THE New York Heratp.—Father Ritchie insists upon being cut loose from all fraternity with the New York Even- ing Post, as a member of the democratic party. He asks, with the most flat-footed directness, “Will the New York Herald never tell the truth, where we are concerned—will it never do us jus- tice?” Now, we had supposed that, with regard to these democratic abolition affiliations, that Mr. Ritchie was like the Irishman—that justice was the very thing he was afraid of. We are disposed not only to be just, but liberal, with the venerable | old sly-boots of the Union Lf, in supposing that Mr. Ritchie had “stood up bravely for the Unioa, we fell short of the truth, we cheerfully correct the mistake, and admit that it was all pretence and moonshine; but we cannot consent to divorce tho Washington Union and New York Evening Post, as organs of the same old democratic party, without being over nice about the abolitionists, until we have time to make an examination of the Ohio and New York elections. If the Washington Union 1s an organ of the New York democratic party, what has it done with the barnburners? Don’t hide them in the bush. Tu Forrest Divorce Case—Mr. Forrest's Srarement.--A very long and very remarkable document, including many minor documents, some of which are now made public for the first time, will be found is our columns to-day. Mr. Edwin Foirest bas prepared und signed the instrument, thus presenting iu full an argument and history of no slight interest. The case itself is one that has created a deep impression on the public mind, and in giving all thet is new in it, it is to be hoped that we are only hasteaing the sequel—for the public n ind has been already uncommonly agitated by this domestic trouble. The opinion of the court, on rejecting the application of Mrs. Forrest's counsel, for a writ of ne exeat, precedes the sad history of the difficulties between Mrs. Forrest and her hus- band, and will be read with mach attention and interest. Union Dinner at Derrorr—Nowie Senrnients or Aun Bry.—An account of the late Union dinner at Detroit. to Hon A. W. Buel, will be found in our columns to-day. Mr. Buel was defeated in the late election by the setiling of the nullifiers upon the whig candidate, the great objectioa to Buel being his vote for the Fugitive bill, at the last session. ‘The Union men of Detroit, however, softened his defeat in this special dinner. We commend his sentiments, and particularly the sensible speeches of Amin Bey, the Turkish Ambassador, and of Mr. Brown, dragoman of our Constantinople legation. Amin Bey, though a Turk, is a better American than thousands of our own citizens who mouth it so flippantly upon ‘liberty and equal rights.” Tne Seventu C: this morni vs.—We publish elsewhere, Z, Uwe Census returns from several sec- They are fall of interest, and will convey to the reader an idea of the growth of the population of the country.

Everything went off in fine style, and the sight of such @ besutiful vessel gliding majestically from her weys into the water, was well worth the trouble of a walk. There wasa very large assemblage present to witness the sight. Brit Anotnen.—The steamship Caribbean will be launched from the yard of Mr. Thos.

Bun-Manine Bost.—About five months since, in noticing the progress of arts an anufactures, mentioned s sub marine boat, which bid fair to sur- pass anything that the wildest imaginings would lead ‘us to expect, even from the genius of the present age. This important invention is the result of the applica- tion of a Jaw in physics, on a large scale, by Mons, Alexandre, an eminent Fre: civil engineer, which law establishes the fact that certain quantity of compressed air, contained within @ given space, makes an efficient equilibrium, or in other words, balances tbe pressure of water so as to prevent it from entering th b-marine boat he has invented, which most ad- mirably adapts this scientific principle to the pur- pose desired, The ingenious and estimable engiaeer who bas contrived this apparatus, by means of it, can descend at will to the bottom of the sea, or examine the beds of streams or rivers, in direct contact with ‘their hidden treasures, and with the power of working as well as of moving along at his ease, for hours, and with perfect saiety,without inconvenience or suffering, although deprived of all communication, either direct or indirect, with the air. We have not space to enter into a minute description of this interesting ap- paratus; we would recommend the civil engineers, capitalists, and others, who are interested in the pro- gress of science amongst us, to examine the model, which has been constructed by Mr. Alexandre, who has had the kindness to give usa scientific description of this sub marine boat, which, we believe, is destined torender to the commerce, and to the maritime in- terests of the country, the most important services ‘We think tbat to insurance companies this mechine will be invaluable in recovering goods or merchandise from wrecks. It will also be valuable for Jaying down telegraph wires securely across rivers, &. For the pearl and coral fisheries, it will. undoubtedly, be of im- mediate and most profitable use. ay add, that for seeking gold or other valuables lost in wrecks, cr for an examination of the hidden dangers at the en- trances of harbors, &c , or draiting sub-marine ebarts, it wil be found most important. and it is our firm con, viction, that the sub-marine boat of Mons.
