The national subscription has had the same fate ae the dotation; it isa ‘dead letter” in the post-office, coup manqué, as we say in French. Despite all the exertions made by the friends of Louis Napo- leon to revive the enthusiasm of the people, the de- mand for subseription was not popular; and when the fact was known at the Elysée, a communica- | tion, without signature, was published ina the jour- | nals of the party, declaring that “the President of the French republic, having heard that some of his friends were originating a subscription to raise funds in his favor, he was obliged to make known, that he would not aecept any thing of the sort, and that, for the future, his intention was to live asa simple citizen.” When this was known by the leaders of the party, it was decided that funds should be employed to purchase for Louis Napoleon @ chateau, to be presented to him as the Chateau de Chambord was ofiered to the Duke of Bordeaux. The great difficulty was, to find out what villa could be purchased for the purpose, when the Mal- ‘maizon was thoxght as the best place. From that moment the name of the Malmaisen (qaite an ominous name) was the “pass word’? of the party; ‘but, after some inquiries, 1t was discovered that the chateau belongs to Queen Christina of Spain, and that it is not for sale. {his was a death-blow to the project of the Napoleonians, and the affair haa been abandoned, without any hope of its being revived. In order to render himself popular, Louis N feon, aleo, thought to reeall the tax of the forty-five centimes, by a vole of the National Aesembly, but succese Was considered as impossible, and the idea ‘wae relinquished. Then, asa last resource, a marriage of Louis Napolean was seated, as being on the eve of being accomplished; and the first wife given to the ident was the elder daughter of Queen Chris- tina, of Spain, aad the Nuke of Rianzaret. But this alliance not being con» jered sufficiently noble for the nephew ofthe fn. r, it was replaced by the daughter of the Eraperor Nicholas, the Russian Czar. Such was the public rumor, when it was announced that Emperor Nicholas Had no daugh- | ter. and thus ended the farce. Many other brwits have been spread abroad dur- ing the last six days, and among them may be named the intention of Louis Napoleon to force the representatives to renounce a portion of their 'y, which is, as}you know, 25 francs a day. A petition was to be circulated in the country, and, when the time would have arrived, the demand ‘would have been presented to the Assembly, and | the representatives would then be forced to obey the nation. All this cannot be realized, and it mere rumor. | A demend for funds is said to be on the eve of (INTELLIGENCE FROM EUROPE, | «= | new poste d’honneur. | many others were going out.

There are still remaining at Constantixo- ple 400 Hungarians, who are commanded by Couat Padisles Wary, formerly an aid-de-camp to Dem- binski, and their intention is also to emigrate to the United States.

Many preparations of all sorts, raany inventions of all kinds, many articles of the greatest richness, hieved for the Worid’s Fair, at Londhn; g@ the things I saw, | have been most particularly struck by the magnificeace of the invoice of Mr. Ch.

Dumas, in his report at the Academy of the Sciences, spoke highly, has now reached the perfection anticipated by the illustrious academician. A rich American gentle- man, with whom I am acquainted, who has come to Paria with the intention to purchase furniture necessary to organize the splendid hotel he has recently built for himself in Union Square, took me settlement of the Onriential queation, till the spiritual governor of the country, though it is com- manded “he heirs of Mehemet Ali, seat some orders to the Bashaw, which he declined to obey; and, accordingly, he raised an army of 40,000 men to resist the troops of the Sublime Porte.

The weather, for the last five days, has some- what changed, and though the sun is still shining over our mighty city, the air is bracing and cold, and the pavement as dry as on a warm and dusty day in the month of August. Despite this change, the carnival is as gay as it has ever been in France, and every one seems to hurry, to enjoy it in the best manner. Among the festivals given last week, I will mention the grand ball, which took place on Satarday evening last, at the Jardin d’Hiver, for the benefit of the poor of three wards of Paris. There wereassembled all those of Paris who are conside red as elegant and fashionable people, and the receipts of the affair amounted, it is said, to 80,000 francs. The party was renovated several times that night, at the Jar din d’Hiver; for it was a gala night in Paris, and @ great number of persons were coming in, whilst beea calculated that eight thousand persons visited that beive made to the Assembly, also to allow the President to pay a short visi: to London, to see the atexhibition. This is another canard, tor the resident cannot leave France even for an hour, | without an authorization of the Legislative power, and this will not be given to him. | In erder to enjoy his leisure, the Pres'dent is daily taking promenades in the streets of Paris, euher riding on horseback, or driving himself ina wagon. en he is met by the people, the greatest silence is observed, for | cannot give the qualifica- tion of “ people” to a dozen of policemen, dressed as owvriers, Who are daily waiting for his sortie, to shout either Vivele President, or Vice le Empereur. ‘This is but a mere comely, which will end with- out démovement. A General of the French army, M. Jullien, who ‘waa commander of one of the brigades of the mili- tery division of Paris, has had the fate of General | Neumayer. It appears that General Jullien was | not considered as devoted enough to the Presi whilst he was more obedient to the constitutio: ‘This ill treatment by the Commander-in-Chief of the army of Parie, reached such a point, that the old soldier was forced to send in bis resignation. His post has been given to General Herbi‘lon, one of the Seides of the Elysee. It is weil known that General Jullien publicly expressed his sentiment: either at Satory, or at St Maur, during the reviews of last year, end naturally he was mai noté Three great reviews beve taken place in the Champ de Mars, during the last week, and General B. d’Hilliers, who wes leading these military die- plays, expressed his satisfaction for the fine deport- ment of the troops.

Bertholor od it was signed by 156 representatives. The o! ject of this demand would be to form a reconeilia- tion, and to gain oblivion for the past. It is said that Louis Napoleon would be in favor of such an amnesty, which, perl would attract to the ranks of his friends men who are now his worst enemies. ‘his would be, perhaps, more po- litic and cunning ‘han any other act I cannot finish thie review of the political events of the week without mentioning the rumor spread in some circles, about the probable changes in the ministry.

Despite ail the notice given of the talented tragedian actress, in the best which had been posted on the walls of the capital, the number of amateurs was small, and, in my there were bet seven Americans present in the concert room. The remainder of the assembly were English people, and a few journalistes of Pans. To explain this sort of failure, I may say at once that the number of people who understand the lenguege of the ** Bard of Avon” is so small in Paris, thet a full house cannot be expected for the other day to the store of Mr. Christofle, to have my opinion upon a table service. It will certainly be one of the finest ever imported on the other side of the Atlantic. Upen an immense tadle, covered with a carpet of crimson velvet, was a complete assortment of vases, candlesticks, avd chafing dishes, all chased with an art equal to that of Benvenuto Cellini. y u The two candelabras, which would weigh, in solid silver, 13,000 francs, and would be sold for 21,000 france—only cost 3,000 francs The silver- ing is one millimeter thick, and, consequently, a8 unalterable as massive silver. I have seen two lerge fountains, the destination of which, is either to contain fresh or ,boiling water. They are worth being mentioned; their form 1s like that of a Roman amphora, and the ornaments are of the purest style. The value of thege vases. ** the were in solid silver, would h*, 15,000 franes each; whilst, as they are, they only cost 2,100 franca. All these articles, though bought by Mr. P——,will bs exhibited at the World’s Fair, and from thence, directed to New York, where American amateu: will have the pleasure of admiring them at the e: hibition at Staten Island. 1 de not hesitate to be- lieve that Mr. Christofle’s industry will be promply reciated. Ina short time these models of art 1 be as much known in the United States as oglish silver ware, which is so common, ani which lasts so short a time, and is, neverthele: 80 much employed en American tables. It is wel known that this article is tarnished after a short time, whilet the productions of Mr. Christofle are unalterable, and may be transmitted by a father to his children, not only as a value, but also as a chef d’ ewvre of art, worthy of bie, Le asa jewel. . H.R. The English View of the United States Census. (From the London Times, Feb. 20 } E A census of the population, as we shall soon dis- cever ourselves, is naturally productive of remark- able disclosures; but the interest attaching to the inquiry in the United States is pecan strong and practical. In the first place, the national constitu- encies are determined by those retur: and the influence of any particular State or class upon the policy of the Union, depends upon the fluctuations thus ascertained. ‘The total number of members in the House of Representatives remains un- ap wil E the struggle between slaveholders aad abolitionists, tormer of six members, who are of course trans- in the general enterprise of their countrymen. The activity of Georgia has been prodigious, and it has succeeded in maintaining itself et a rate exceeding that of any State in the Union, and iteven gains a member; but its numbers are too small at present to teH with any weight upon the general poll. The decline of the slave States arises from the greater popularity of the free States | advances im of twent seen that growth of honesty is not invariably com- Kote te but, as they are returned in proportion to population, it follows that States lose or gain ac- cording to the increase or diminution in the num- ber of their inhabitants. The total population of the American Union, after certain epeci'ied dedue- tions, is divided oy 233 (the fixed number of repre- sentatives), and the quotient gives the number of electors entitled to constitute a member. The pre- sent rate of repreeentation allows one member for every 70,000 electors, or thereabouts; but the rate now likely to come into operation will require about 94,000 votes to create a representative, so that States in which the population has increased ia leas than this ratio will lose one or more of their mem- bers, while their neighbors gain accordingiy. To give an idea of the revolutions thus produced, we =. observe that no fewer than thirteen States out of the thirty-three, including some of the most im- portant provinces, will be politically affected by the results of the present census. The point of the greatest interest is of course and here the balance shows 4 total loss to the ferred to the ranks of their opponents. It is not to be presumed, however, that these Southern States have remained stationary, or that they are lacking in its former posi- Arkansas, too, has increased its population in the eyes of foreign emigrants, the fluctuations | in their owa population being dependent chiefly on themselves. Slaves and slaveho'ders migrate, ac- cording to circumstances, from one of these pro- | vinces to enother, so that what is gained by the se- cond is lost by the first, and their utmost efforts have hitherto failed in enlargiag their own sphere | ot action by the introduction of slavery iato any ter- ritories newly acquired. = The next point of interest to the English reader is concerning the position of those States indebted to this counuy, and it is remarkable that they | have almost without exception made material ‘osperity and importance. (Ohio, lUinois, and Missourt, gain two members each; coneiderable degree, of these extraordin ic trines, for no One can predict the courseof rel LA politics, or society, in a community like that of the American Union. ‘I'he preponderance of strength, as the present census tells us, is passing rapidly westward, and the most rising States are those of which the character has yet to be developed. The Union, in fact, is a miniature of the world, nor is there a single elemeat of discord or progress now at work in Europe, which may not reveive its ulti- mete development on the yet half peopled contiaent of North America. Anxiety In England aboxat South Carolina. | From the London Chronicle, Feb. 20.) Everybody knows that the moment a British ship touches at a port in South Carolina, those of her erew whose complexion falls below a recog- njzed standard of olive, are immediately taken into custody by the police, and lodged in prison till the vessel cli outwards. Some extraordinary ex+ ples of this peculiar practice appear to have me recently under the notice of our Consul at Charleston, and he has been instructed by the Foreign Office to lay a strong remonstrance on the subject before the Governor of the State. The American newspapers would have us believe that this proceeding on the part of the local agent of our government has raised a great question of international law between England and the United States, and a still greater question of constitutional junsprudence between the State | of South Carolina and the American }edera- tion. It may be remembered that representa- tions on the same head were some time since | addressed to President Taylor’s administration, | gium, named Sellenslag, who has recently returned by the English plenipotentiary at Washington, not very lucid or satiefactary fegnt argu aan sing.

We have, unfortunately, any English entertainment. Besides this, Mrs. Kemble came to Paris in a bad moment, at the epoch of the carnival, when the fashionable people are nightly engeged at parties of ali sorts. As for the reading of Mrs. Fanny Kemble, it was full of pathos, and she rade much sensation upon her small audience. costume of the Iady con- sisted of a satin dress of white silk, trimmed with blue ribbon, She had a handsome bouquet, which she twice took from the table when she read the part of Ophelia.

The efforts which we have recently witaessed on the parts of these an: older governments to eflect | arrangements with their creditors, are indications | ot political enlightenment, if not of popular good selves, by mai to create an ultimate value for their property. The firet thought of a dishonest debtor is unquali- faith; and itonly rests with the creditors them- ining the integrity of their claims, fied repudiation; but repudiation bring# discredit, and discredit is found darmaging to the material interest of the repudiator. The next resource, therefore, is that of compromise, which is simply an endeavor to recover the desired credit at less than its proper cost. A proposal to purchase a claim, even at lees than its value, ia an incontestable proof that the obligation is felt to be binding, end the position of indebtedness disagreeable or disadvan- tageous. Itisatthis stage of impertect morality that the Spanish and American governments have just now arrived.

The application of Mr. Consul Matthew to Governor Means is the di- rect logical consequence of Secretary Clayton's letter; but, in the sciences of diplomacy and of constitutional interpretation, two and two do not al- ways make four, nor is the conclusion at all times a necessary result of the premises. The federal authorities, recoiling from the anomalies which the escrenertt action of a single Sta:e would en- tail—and not a little irritated, perhaps, by the evi- dent complacency of Governor Means in repeati: the words, “ our government,”’ “‘ your government,’ and ‘the two governments’”’—have doped, un- der President Fillmore, the position which they took up under President Tayler, and Sir Henry Bulweris engaged in a ‘‘ long and active corres- pondence,” explanatory of Consul! Matthew’s plomatic irregularity in resorting to the subordinate instead of the superior. It can néver be contended that no wrong hi been suflered. The gratuitous imprisonment of a whole class of British subjects, tested by every c: terion of international law, and still more by that large and liberal version of it which was sanctioned by the House of Commons in the Greek debate, amounts to a diplomatic grievance of the first magnitude. The moat, considerate and long-euf- fering of foreign ministers would never endure that, under a general permission to trade with a Roman Catholic country, Protestant sailors should be locked up as soon as they landed, and Romanists only allowed to go at large. The King of Naples is as anxlous to keep free English- men out of his dominion: South Carolina be to exclude free negroes from her boundaries. But he does not declare that his subjects associate the presence ef Englishmen with revolutionary prin- ciples—that the characteristic marks of an English- man are red hair and red whiskers—and that he is therefore under the painful necessity of imprisoning all red-headed foreiguers who may visit his realms. The ‘bloated Bourbon” confines himself to the expedient—at all events, an impartial one—of an interminable quarantine, which is calculated to slay the most fervent of propagandists with weari- ness and ennwt. In the case of America, the in- diguity offered to us by the South Carolinian prac- tice, is the more inexcusable, because the relations of the two countries are not governed by the coi mon law of nations, or by a single treaty, but by a sueceesion of treaties, and by habitudes of commer- cial intercourse which sanction almost beyond that of international engagements. Nor can it be urged against us that we have not ap- pealed to the proper tribunal.

Movern Roman Banpitri.—A small Italian town has recently been the scene of an splat al- most incredible. It appears that on the 25th of the month the theatrical corps of Forlini- Po oli" was playing the ‘Death of Cewsar.” Forlini- Popoli is mali town of 4,000 inhabitants, enclosed by a igh wall, entered by two gates, and soaaly three miles from the town of Forli, of which it a kind of suburb. By eight in the eveniag, the hour when the theatres open in Italy, all move- ment has disappeared from the streets, windows are closed, and the inhabitants have retired to their homes, the coffee houses, or theatres. This ab- sence of activity ia the streets, which every one remarks at Rome, 13 still more complete in small towns. It may then be understood how, at Forli- ni-Popoli, and particulsrly ou an evening when tha theatre was open, the streets should be so d2aert- ed as to make possible the occurrence now to be related. The first act of the piece had terminated, and the curtain had just fallea, when suddenly it rose and disclosed—instead of the actors, who digappeared-ten brigands of the band de! Pussatore, who, armed with mu: and carbines, levelled them eo as to command the entire range of the pit and boxes. Atthe same moment, another party, consisting of thirty brigands, made their appear- ance on the floor of the house, the issues of which were guarded, and, armed with sabres and pistols, menaccd the spectators. A moment of stupor, during whicn no one dared move, elapsed, when the chief ot the brigands advanced to the foot-lights, and, exhibiting the keys of the two tes of the town, said:—‘*Gentlemen, you see by these that you are entirely in our power; any re- sistance on your would lead to disasters which Ishould be the first te deplore, but which it de- pends on you to avert.
