By these wild andsavage Arabs they were d into the interior of the county several day's journey, and were sold as slaves.

They have all demanded the full revision of the constitution, each one with a different purpose—some with the aim of overturn- ing the government, others with the intention of prorogating this state of things, and many with the desire to see a monarchy succeed the republic. | There is no doubt that the opinion of the general councils is not the exact ezho of the departments. The members of these meetings are not all in favor | of a change; but, nevertheless, this unanimous ex- pression of the feelings of every honest citizen will have, and ought to have, a certain authority upon the minds of our legislators.

Itis now certain that the revolu- onary committees were ready in France. They are five in number, called the French, German, Ita- | lian, Pole, and Belgium-Datsh.

[From a Paris Letter, Sept. 4, in the London Times } ‘The importance attached to the question of the retensions of the Prince de Joinville will, perhaps, | a4 the best apology for again referring to it. My | letter of Sunday last, giving an account of the inter- view betwoen the royal family and the personages who were formerly attached to the service of King Lovis Philippe, has already produced some sensa- tion here, and is a to produce more. I now learn, on excellent authority, that the explanations which took place on that occasion have not been without effect on the mind of the Prince, to whom they more particularly referred; and even on the Duke de Nemours, his brother, and the Queen Marie Amelie. The same, however, cannot be said of the Duchess of Orleans, who is described as still | | frm and resolute in her purpose. This, though it may bo regretted, is scarcely to be wondered at, for the simple reason tha: the part proposed to be taken by the Prince de Joinville would be to her | advantege—at least, such is herown idea. Tho | letters that have been received in Paris from Clare- mont since that interview, and the persons who have arrived here, confirm and cowplete the acsounts | | have already given; and there is now no doubt that if there existed apy uncertainty previous to | the 27th in that royal abode, none is now to be found there. On the day precediog the funeral ceremony of the 26th, come few persons, in whose favor an ex- ception had been made, were received at Claremont by the (Queen, the Prince, and the Dutchess of Or- leans. ‘Lhose persons ascertained that the feelin, then was positively in favor of the pretensions o! the Prince de Joinville. A distinguished member of the magistracy, who Gils important functions in Paris, and which place | kim in close connection with the higuer commercial and industrial classes of the capital, begged, on the occasion of an interview with the Duke of Nemours, to be informed as to the answer he should give to the persons who, on his return to Paris, might in- | quire of him about the real intentions of the royal tamily. ‘The Duke replied, after his usual manner, that the family of King Louis Philippe would await with patience the pleasure of were ready the moment Franc ted or require’ them. “(Of that,” observed person | have al- luded to, “! make no,doubt; but what are we to | think of the pretensions of the Prince de Join- ville!” ‘1 repeat,” answered the Duke, “that we are at the | of France, whether she wants 1 of us, or only of one.” A Colonel of one of the leg’ of tae National Guard of Paris, ing to be in London, was anxious to present respects to the Duchess of Orleans. at gentleman had been brought up in « college in Paris, at the time the late Duke of Crieans was a pupil there, and had remained to the last moment on the most friendly terms with the Prince. This gentleman’s reception by the Duchess, on the occasion referred to, was particu!arly | kind. The conversation that took place betweea eter, but it Due! ti Riure without having said anything to have nothing particular to ray to you, the Duchess. “ Yet,” ovserved the other, * [ ground that he was a dangerous person. This, I think, is much exaggerated, and men like ‘Mr. Briebane are not to be seared ; the oddness of their | views is more laughable than anything else. Any how, “precaution ia necesrary for si 3” there- fore our police was about right to act as they did. The candidatures for the next Presidency, are | still the great question of this momont. Prince of | Joinville has neither withdrawn nor advanced a step; and this silenee is no doubt the proof of his hesitation either to accept or to refuse. He plays exactly the part that General Taylor played before hie nomination was considered sure. M. de Ia Koche, vee himself to the public vote, and if much faith is to be given to the reports of the legitimist papers, his candidature has many partirans in the south and west of France.

Paris neglected bis wife for other women, and, after the birth of a child, when a slight paysi- cal deformity had come on from nursing, he con- ceived a perfect aversion for the wife, and his court to another young woman, the daugh- er ofa veterinary surgeon, named Lambert. Itwag generally believed that, notwith standing the eforts ofthe father to put an end to this connection, it had be- come criminal, even during the lifetime of the wife of Paris. In December, 1849, the wi‘e becamosuddealy ill, anda pees, was calied in, but no suspicion was at frst entertained that she had been poisoned. The remedies administered, therefore, were not ofa nature to give much relief, and vomitings symptoms of poisoning by arsenic were im: ¢ victim herself felt convinced that she boon | yo and told her mother that her husband some white powders, which she feared had been mixed with her drink, which was at all times given to her byherhusband. The wife died; and, although her parents and many other persons sus- pected she had been m , NO communication was made to the authorities. Soon aftor the inter- ment of his wife, Paris spplied for the hand of the daughter of Lambert, but was peremptorily re- ets by the father, brother, and the whole of ths are of course beyond Luman control, but where large | sums have been expended in the improvement of the upper parte of the river, how is it that the Canadians overlook the advantages of a duo maintenance and | organization of a lighthouse department, and the establishment of depots of provisions and other stores at the pointe aboat the mouth of the river where ci sare most frequent! The extraordint | facilities afforded for traffic by the Erie Canal, an | the Kg Fe np yielded on the expenditure (15 per | cent) should act as a stimulant to develop the supe- rior resources of the line bythe St. Lawrence. That line is really superior in two respects ; in transport- ing the commerce of the Western States to Europe, and vice versa—and as regards the internal traffic between the Eastern and Western States of the American republic. In the former case, supposing a vessel laden with cargo for Europe coming down Lake Erie—if it makes for Buffalo on the New York side, the cargo must be transhipped, sent 364 miles by canal, and then down the Hudson to New | York, and be again transhipped at least once before it can be shed to Europe. If it enter Port Maitland on the Canadian side, it passes the canals without breaking bulk, and descends to Quebec in four days; whence it may proceed direct to Eu- other ; .

By this time the rumor: of ths poisoning of the first wife had become genoral, and bad reached the ears of the Procurour of the Republic, who ordered that the body of tho victim should be exhumed and examined. ‘This was im- mediately done, traces of arsenic wero found in the stomach and intostines, with a portion still adhering to the mouth, not having been absorbed, owing to its having been administered just boforo Everything, in’ fact, indicated that the husb: had, for several days, ropeated the administration of the poison. He was arrestod, but cn his way to on effected his escape, and was no: heard of for several woeks, daring which time the authorities had been endoa- voring to ascertain how Paris could have ob- tained the arsenic. At length Paris, who had beea secreting himself in the woods, went to a shephord named Jardin, with whom he had been on terms of else frierdthip, and told him that he along could save him from destruction. “ There is,” said Pagis, “# man named Biasson, who has a quantity of ar- senic in his poesession. I will go and kill him, and leave an old pistol by his side, to make it appear that he had committed suicide. 1 will ales leave a paper, in which he shall say that I am innoosnt, transport has likewise been proved to be con- cheaper. These considerations have been fully and ably put forward in Professor John- Vc ica, whish has been just- ly pronounced by the Dublin University Magazine, | sent month, to be “the best exposition we at pre- sent have of the agricuitural, social, and economi- cal condition of the northern portion of the New World.” In the instructive pages of that work, we find it stated that— “The wheat and other preduco of the vabey of | the Ohio, which was intended for the European markets, has hitherto, for the it part, descended | those rivers, and, after a voyage of some thousands of miles, has ed New Orleans, whence it was re-shi to its European destination.

In the second point of view, an inspection of the map will show the con- neetion of the.

A little jence and peiseverance, and we may confidently expect to witness the great river | of North America become “the most im- | portant medium of communication between | the various eections of the New World, as well as between the Old World and the New, and giving to the provisces of Canada a far more extensive and comuanding influence over the commercial operations of North America than any other State east of Louisiana can ever aspire to; whilst the outlet which it affords to the juce of -Ohio and the other north-western districts of the Union, will become of incalculable importance, is shall, ef course, be immediately :eloasod. ‘¢ requested Jardin, who of weak intellect, to meet him the next day at a retired spot, aad bring him the letter and a pistol. Jardin promised compliance, but subsequently thought it well to consult a member of his family, who instantly por- ceived the object of Paris. ‘ Lo does not intend,” eaid the relative of Jardin, ‘to murder Giasson. |t is you whom he intends to murder, and, having done this, he will leave the letter in your pockec.
