So my task is dcne—with me the you the decision, and let me add the prophetic jords of the post, “the moral of Kossuth took his seat, amid the enthusiastic cheers of the audience. . After Kossuth’s speech, Judge Kane, Senator Cooper, and others spoke; and s committee of thirty-one was ap- pointed, with Mr. Dallas at its head, to raise funds. Kos- sath was also called out again, and made a beautiful little speech in favor of intervention to prevent interven- tion. Tur Common Counc: Evect.—Several caucus meetings have been held by the Common Council elect, which has from | ance of all mon: aspirants to the crown of Louis Philippe, through Henri the Fifth, have been distinctly given to un- derstand, from high $uthority, that the counten- archical powers will be extended to Louis Napoleon. In short, the position of France is fixed for yeart—the army will rule as long as its leaders faithful te each other. The chiof executive be the choice of the army—Louis Napoleon will be the head just so long as he pleases the seldiery—no longer. The Liverpool cotton market was quite dull; flour had slightly declined, and provisions remained United States Intend to give such an un- | about the same as por previous accounts. Kossuth has, at last, made known his opinion of the coup d’état of Louis Napoleon. In his speech at the Philadelphia banquet, last evening, he averred that the revolution in France was highly favorable to the cause of freedom—it was but the precursor of a general outbreak. He declared that the sacrilegious megement of Louis was the one thing wanting, te make the down-trodden masses in the Old World rise in their might and assert their rights. Kossuth also took eccasion to deny any fraternization with either socialists or aboli- tionists—he belonged to neither party. This will falllike a wet blanket upon the red hot zeal of those bodies who have made themselves s0 con- spicuous in the presence of the Husgarian in this city. ‘ Congress did nothing of importance yesterday. We learn from Albany that, according to present indications, no contracts for enlarging the canals, in pursuance of the law passed during the oxtra sete, sion of the Legislature, will be given out under the present canal management; and that the new Canal Board will have the control of the matter. As might have beon expected, this causes great dis- satisfaction; and weconsequently learn that great consternation prevails among the contractors. The board are entitleato great credit for discontinuing assignments of contracts. It has heretofore been the practice for the hanger on of political parties to make contracts, andthen assign them fora valua- ble consideration, making a handsome sum by the operation without incurring any risk, and without any trouble. Thisshould not be tolerated. Three hundred memwore thrown eut of employ- ment by the burning of the glass works in East Boston, yesterday morning. This is a most unfor- tunate calamity, and will be felt more severely by the poor workmen at this than at any other season of the year. Some additional particulars from the Rio Grande represent the recent fighting to have been of the most desperate character. If the revelutionists con- tinue their present course, they will certainly sue- ceed. On the subject of appropriating Madison Square for a Crystal Palace coming up inthe Board of As- sistant Aldermen last evening, a question was raised as to the legal right of the Common Council to do s0. Great doubts appeared to be entertained on the point, and the papers wore ultimately referred toa committee. | resulted thus far in the following organization: —Richard T. Compton, of the Eighth ward, President of the Board of Aldermen; David T. Valentine, Clerk; and John H. Chambers, Deputy Clerk; Assistant Clerks, Charles J. Dougherty, Thos J. Munday, and Joseph Young. Moa- senger to the Board, William D. Soally; and Nicholas Beagrist, Sergeant-at-arms. Board of Assistants.--Jona- than Trotter has been chosen President; Edward Sand- ford, Clerk. So far the appointments appear to be unex- ceptionable. The selection of Alderman Compton as President of the Board of Aldermen, appears to meet with general approbation. He is a man of strict integrity, and capable te fulfil the duties reposed in him. In fact the members of both Boards, as far as we know are tually competent, and will, doudtiess, legislate for the people and not for themselves as it appear: the present corrupt Common Council have done. However. the new Beard must be careful in all their proceedings, in order not to fall into the foot«teps of their predecessors.

The sales of the week ending the 12th imet., were about 32,000 bales. The flour market had been quiet, at a reduction of 64. per barrel.

Bo far as the vote of the army furnishes any index of public sentiment in France, it is almost unanimous in favor of the President. The vote of the army, as far as reported, stands 65,000 in favor of Louis Napoleon, to 3,600 against him. No less than four more departments have been de- clared in a state of siege, but really serious disturbances were few, and of limited extent. ‘The total number of arrests, thus far, ie stated at eighteen hundred. M. Thiers, having impradently declered against the government, immediately after his liberation from pri- ton, is said to have been a second time arrested. by order of the President. Certain it is that he left Paris in haste, and has passed the Prussian frontiers. Many of the leading members of the Mountain party have fled the country, and many others, for whose arrest warrants bave been issued, are believed to be still in Paris—among the latter is said to be Victor Hugo, Emile de Girardine has resigned the editorial manage- ment of La Presse, and it was understood that he would shortly take his departure for the United States. In the Nievre, the socialists, during a short ascenden- cy, had burned the archives of the department, and de- stroyed a large amount of property. ‘The Compte de Chambord, Henri V., had sought an “interview with Prince Schwartzenberg, at Vienna, who assured him that Louis Napoleon would receive the coun- tenance of all monarchical cabinets. . Ttiseaid that the President has suppressed the pub- lication of seventy-three newspapers. The Paris papers contain the letter of Jerome Bons- parte, addressed to the President, in which he advises woderation and a genuine appeal to the people. Beveral legions of the National Guard have been dis- armed, on account of some manifestations of disaffection. ‘The Paris correspondent of the London Globe states that four more departments have been declared in « state of siege, and that the Minister of War has sent a circular to the generals throughout France to cause the immediate execution of all persons teken for the commission of acts of murder and pillage. The Paris Constitut‘onnel states, from an official source, that the whole of the department of the Basses Alps is in the hands of the socialists. This, however, is gene- rally believed to be an exaggeration on the part of the government, for the purpose of concentrating the efforts of the friends of order on bebalf of the President. ‘The same correspondent also states that many of the communes in the Basses Alps are already fre trom the presence of the socialists. Several distinguished members of the legitimist and Orleans party have recently sent in their adhesion to the government. It is stated on the authority of a London journal, in reference to the report that the Prince de Joinville and fore d’Aumale intended to . a come Orieanist party, it was unanimcusly resolved to write to the Prince, and declere their firm resolution not to sup- port any attempt on his to keep up a civil war. ‘The correspondent of the London Ti Paris, under date of December 11, says, a decree e Gers de Var and to-day places the Department of th. the Lot et Garonne in a state of siege. ‘The Moniteur announces the following loss of the army, in the late events :—1 officer and 24 privates killed, a: | 17 officers and 167 privates wounded. “The Petrie contradicts the report circulated at the Bourse, relative to a modification in the system of tax- ation, ‘The Inspector of the Var writes trom Toulon, under date of Decemier 9. that the mati from Dragradiew brought news that two thousand insurgents. who were march on that town. bad retreated in the direction | cf the Brigriolies and Bayols, tome hundred | publie functionaries march at their with stroi ebains round their necks, The Director of the Pi the Office at Luck was amongst prisoners.
