BH. R. The Dinner of man Napolcon to the Eng= sn. THE FRENCH INVASTON—-SOMETHING SOOTHING TO THE ENGLISH. The dinner of Louis Napoleon to the English in Paris, onthe 30th ultimo, is thus described:— The party, as I have said, was composed entirely lish; and the only French, with the exception of the President of the republic himself, were M de 3 General Roquet, aid de-camp to Louis Napoleon; Count Baseecochi and Captain Excelmans, the officers d’ordnance in waiting. The following are the names of the Hng- | lish guests :—The Marquis of Bath, the Marquis of | Hertford, the Marquis and Marchioness of ug se | Lord and Lady Ernest Bruco, Lord and Lady I | dorick Gordon Hallyburton, Lord and Lady Polti- re- timore, Lord Adol hus Fitzclarence, Viscount Ra- d Alfrei Churchill, Mr. and Lady Mary Mrs Baillie Cochrane, the Hon. Spencer Cowper, Viscount Clifden, Mr. Henry Baring, Baroness Delmar, Me and Mrs. Cavendish, Sir Henry and Lady Ellis, tho Hon. Gaorge Staf- ford Jerningham, the Hon. Wijliam Stuart, Mr. Augustus Paget, Mr. Corbett, Mr and Mrs. Clarke, Lady Farquhar and Miss Farqubar, Miss Stewart Mackenzie, of Seaforth, Mr and Mra. E. Blount, aud the two Misses Kennedy trskino. Although it does not fall properly within the pro- vince of » newspsper toreport the sayings and doings ata private dinner, it may not be uninteresting, at i | the present moment, tu state that Louis Napoleoa | expressed great regret that the belicf of his warlike intentions against England should have become so revalent in that country. He declared that noth- ing was further from his thoughtsthan to make war with that country. It was a country in which ho had lived long enough to acquire, no; only a respoct for the people, bu: respeot for its institutions; and he still had a great many friends there. As to tho rumor that be intended to make war against Eng- land, he declared that it was simply absurd. mention these observations, not because [ attach spy particular importance to them, bat because the President uttered them. Tt is clear that Louis Napoleon wishes us to believe in bis pacific inten+ ed and it ix possible that he may be sincere in them. But will his wish fer pease, poworful though it Row is, prevent war! Are there not circumstan- ces which are beyond his power and control? It has never been said tha: he intended to meke war directly against England. What was said was that he considered war neccstary for the consolidaiton of his power; and he would be foresd to rash into it ip order to give employment to his army ; and that the porscesion of the frontier of the Raine, which isan ebject of ambition t» ail Frensamen, would no: only be sible, but a popular exsae ‘or a War, into which England, ag well as all the ovher great } Europe, would undoubtedly be wn At all even‘e, itis to be hoped that lose words, spoken overa dinner table, will rot prevent the Ergiish Parliament from providing for cefences egaitsi future events.

Itis said that this decree, which was coi pelied to be issued by the orders of tho rian powere, bar beca received with much disfavor by | the eli to express his opinion upon all police subjects. The origininals of those reports are te be harded over to the President of the Republic. ‘Thore are to be inepectore general, special tarpes tors, and commissasies of police in the depart- mente. The inepectors general are to exero'se their functions under the immediate authority of the Minister General of Police.

It will be their duty to rectify falso ramora, and to turn their attention generally to every branch of tho adminiatration and ofthe publie service, con- forming themeclves to the instructions from the Minister of General Police. The salaries of the inspectors are fixed at from 10,000 to 15,000 francs. The Delats saye:—The first creation ofa Ministry of General Poliee in France took place fifty-five cars ago, on the 12th Nivose, An. wy of the first Republic. Tho Directory formed a seventh Mi- istry under that denomination, and the firet minia- ter was Cochon do Lapparent, who was suocecded by Sotin and Pouché,’ The Ministry of General ‘olice was suppressed under the Consulate. An imperial doeree of the 21st Messidor, An. XII. (10th July, 1804,) re-established it, and gave to it allthe powers of tho high police of the State. ‘Three counsellors of State and a master of requosta Wore attached tothe ministry, and transacted busi- eas daily with the minister; they took his decisions, and were charged with tho correspondence and with the investigation of affairs, each in depart- mente atsigned to them. The bureaux of tho Ministry of General Police were thon under the direction of a secretary general, five chiefs of divi- sion, and a chief of the archives. Their fanotions were nearly the same as those sot forth in the do- cree of the 22d of this month. The first Minister of Police under the empire was Fouché, and after- wards tho Duke de Rovigo. On tho first restora- tion, in 1514, the ministry was euppressod; but it was re-established during the Hundre Days, and again iven to Fouche. In 1815, on the second restora- jon, the Ministry of General Polico was confided to the Duke Decazes.

Te Our Baltimore Correspondence, Baanum’s Horst, Bartmone, Feb. 21,1882, Buchanan and his Prospects for the Presidency—Generay Cassand General Scott—Madam Bodisco’s Grand Ball—= Barnum’s Hotel=Miss Davenport, the Actress. Hon. James Buchanan arrived here this morning, from Richmond, Va., where he has been to attend the lettings of political contracts to log-roll the Btate fer the Presi- dency. The proposals were opened and published in the | Richmond papers some deys ago. His bid was high for the union of the democracy, and deems the compromise | fettlement a “finality,” greatly to the chagrin of the | States’ rights men of the South. When in Washington, | be was frequently in close conclave with Mr. President | King, of the Senate, whom Mr. Buchanan thioks can control the democracy of the South, on the Buchanan and King ticket. ‘In union there certainly is strength,” according to the old adage; but in this instance, I do not think that Mr, Buchanan can find sufficient strength to bind this union. General Cass is new, most certainly, in the ascendency in his party. It is a notorious fact that there is not one Senator in the Senate of the United States who heartily advocates the nomination and ele- tion of James Buchanan to the Presidency. Maroy, Douglas, Houston, or Butler have strong friends in the fenate, and House of Representatives too, but it is thought by many that, as the feud between the Bucha- nan and Cass democracy is so great, the Baltimore Uon- vention will set both aside, and nominate some new man, who can unite all factions of the democratic party North. The South are united more nearly than the North, and will consummate their unity if Douglas should be settled by the National Convention. Mr. Buchanan had large number of his friends in his private parlor, and then gave them their orders how to carry the State for him. The State administration here are supposed to be in favorof Mr. Buchanan, because of the latter’s recommending the Governor of Penusylvania to pardon Alberti, the kionapper. This [ think, is a mis- taken plece of policy for them. The public look upon Alverti’s pardon, not as a matter of justice to injured innocence, but a scheme of political demagogues, by which to wheedle the people out of their votes. Maryland, as well as Pennsylvania, is trueto the Union. They are in favor of the compromise, and no 36° 30’ among them. ‘They will go for uo one, be he democrat or whig. who does not go for sustaining the compromise and the Union. On the whig side, I have it from the mcst undoubted sutbority, that Mr. Fillmore, afew days ago, consulted the appointees to office from Penneylvania in reference to his obtaining the vote of that State in national con- vention They unanimously told him, frankly, that no one could carry it in convention, or at the ballot box, but General Winfield Scott The result of this confer- ence was communicated to Senator Uooper, from that Btate, (who never misses an opportunity to give General Bcott and Governor Johnston, of Pa,a dig under the fifth rib,) and he said that Scott hadno strength, and that Mr. Filimore could carry the State triumphantly. Mr. Fillmore relies upon Mr. Cooper’s assurance, and allows bim the distribution of the public patronage for Penn- sylvania, By the far-sighted democrats aud whigs, Mr. Cooper is acknowledged to be like a milistone about the President's neck Let him hang. The weight of the jewel will drown the wearer, have been several days in Washington city, and could | learm nothing, from any quarter of the Union, which changes my views in the lesst, but that General dcott will be the whig nominee who will be pitted against the demo- cratic candidate. Out of politics, Washington has been very gay indeed. The city is crowded with strangers, from nearly every quarter of the world. Lent is now approsobing, and the reat party of Mad. Bodirco closes the gay season, on Tuceaby evening next. Each principal cityin the Union will have a representative there. New York will have a | large sbare; some of her brautiful ludies are now at this hotel, en route for Waebing! By the by, allow me to say that this hotel maintains ite princely reputation, so widely and so orably known throughout the United States, the Cana and Europe.

The annual legislative dinner was given to the members of both houses—tho Senate and Assem- bly—at the Troy House, on Saturday, the 2lst. Evereince this practice commenced, the anniversary ofthe birth of Washington has been the day; but in contequence of the 224 coming on Sunday this year, the dinner was anticipated one day. Tho members and other invited guests were conveyed from East Albany to this eity in the cars of the Troy and Greebbush Railroad. Several arrived ia the three o’clock train, but the greator portion came in the train an hour afterwards. All the roomsin the eecond story of the hotel were thrown open, and, until the dinner hour, the company o2- joyed themselves in social glee and cnversation, as seemed to them most sgreeabe At about five o’clock, tho doors of the dining hall were throwa cpen, and the invited guests were ushered in. Two tables, the entire length of that spacious hall, to gether with one across the room, were soon filled, and every reat occupied. At the head of the table wae seated Mr. Ber jamin Marshall, the most ex- tensive manufacturer in this section of count.y, as president on the occasion On his right were 4 Gen. Wool, commanding the Eastern Division of the United States Army, Mr. Comptroller Wright, Mr. Secretary Randall, State Canal Canal Jom- missioner Mather, Engineer McAlpine, and others of Sree On the left of the President sat Senators Morgan, Vanderbilt, Judge Parker, and other noted characters There were about two hundred and fifty at the tables, who immediately upon being eeated entered with hearty appetites upon the pleasirg duty of partakicg of the various dishes, which were most bountifully prepared by Mr. Charles S. Coleman, the widely knowa pro- prietor ef the Troy House. Whilst the various com ses were being eagerly disposed of, in accord- ance with the programme, @ liberal supply of champagne was furnished, while at intervals the Troy band ia an antiroom, with windows open, discoursed patriotic airs. After fall justice had been done to tho solids and their accompanying etceteras, the regular toasts were announced, and read in an aadible tone and of the committee of arrangemen of the reading of every one, speoc! and airs played by the band, giving spirit and ani- ma to the festival The speakers were Mojor General Wool, Comp- trolier Wright, Secretary Randall, Mr. Justice Parker, Senators Pierce, Vanderbilt and Taber, and ex Senator Carroll. ex Speaker Hadley, and others of less note. J. W. Fowler, of the Ballston Law School, was called up on the Hungarian reso- lution, and commenced in strain not very lauda- ble of Kossuth, which eaused a few hisses, as by this time mest of the audience had become romark- ably ;atriocic, and tho orator was induced to finish hie remarks in a different tone. But the speech of the evening, and which pleased us l'rojana moat, At the close were made | Was the one so earnestly delivered by Mr Cushing, ® member of the House, from the county of Tomp- kins, and said to be an aspiring leader of the anti- hard pan democracy in the Assembly. He came out plainly and emphatically against the Albany Bridge— he was strongly opposed to the bridge, and as strongly in favor of General Wool for the Presidency. His declarations were received with the most tremendous den:onstrations of gratification, and terrible peals of applause. Tho porition taken by this able leader in tho Houso is worth all tho expense, laber, and pains which we bave undergone and experienced in tendering this dinner to the very honorable the "Legislature. His lodge, although given with a glass of champagne in his hand, is a certain guaranty that he Albanians, with all their railroad interests com- bined, will obtain no charter from this wise and discriminating Legislature, permitting them to brige the river. ¢ had two objects in tendering tho dinner this bef one bid to Bada the Gigi LA Ld ridge, and the other to prevent the passage of the Maine liquor law; and from the liberal indulgence in the ardent, by the members of noth branches, the State officers and their attachés, there is no reason to fear that they ete en for the thirty gallon wholesale trade during the pressent session of this Legislature, nor to enact any stringent law dofining what any man shall cat, ink, of wit thal bo clothed. adic a Before eight o’clock tho party broke up, in the beet ofhumor. Every one gen gratified that tho 22d had been 80 gloriously and appropriately celebrated. Tho members wore highly pleased with the Trojacs on account of the entertainment given them; several remarking that they had been in Albany since the first of January, and the citizens at the capital had given no evidence of hospitalit in the remotest degree bearing a comparison wit! the sumptuous feast of the evening. At half-past eight o’clock tho down train of cars arrived in front of the hotel, and our visiters ‘piled in,” and de- parted amid shouts, hurras, congratulations, and wishes for the speedy arrive of te next annivor- sary of Washington’s birthday, and to bs celebrated as this had boen, by tho grave, dignified, and hororablemembersof the Legislaturo, b: partaking of the bountiful liberality of the city of Fry. suipieietiaeiamics: oes Our Ohlo Corresponden: Corumnvs, Onto, Feb. 21, 1952.

The majerity—indced, all in the Sonate—are as good- natured as though they were surcharged with the wiik of human kindness, and wished to be as cha. ritable as possible—in imitation, I suppose, of Him who said: “ Let him that is without fault among you cast the first stone.” The adoption of the now constitution renders the present session particularly laborious, as many members will consider the rules of other sessions just preeedents for the present body, while others see—and see correctly—that, under the constitution, 2 precedent must now be formed for the future, instead of loaning upon the ast. 1 was amused, as your readers would havo een, if they could have accompanied me to the Senate, yesterday, to watch the vacillating motion of the members, while they were consideriog tho propriety of voting to the cleray of the oity the use of the State library. Some held that clergymen who had refused or neglected to accept tho Sonate’s invitation, and make prayers for them, should be denied tho privilege; others, that the clergymen of the whole State should use the books—(here a pro- viso was added by a good-natured member, which read, ‘Provided we have prayers ing”’)—(laughter); and, finally, a sensible opposed the thing altogether, and in an able sposch contended that to grant the clergy special privi- loges was upjust—that he went for adding to tho bill, “and all othor citizens.” The library wa; tho property of the people, and it was their right to uso it, ti The ideas of the liberal friead appoared to meible, demooratis spirit seemed to spread, and pervade the Tho mil question oalled forth an animated discussion. ‘The Senator from Cuyahaga said thas, under the constitution, no man was a membor until be ved at Columbus, and took his seat; and therefore, it mattered not how long he was on the way, he could have nothing for it.

This will be the. bost building in the Union, and will be an honor to the people of this prosperous State. Property near the State capital is valuablo, and will doubtie:s advance. The singlo lot upon which re) American Hotel stands is worth $30,000 it is said. The temperance cause is not as prospsrous West as East—most of the peor take a social glass ; and it is pretty generally oonceded that the Maine law wou'd become a doad letter here. In this city, of less than 20,000 soul, 140 liquor estab- lishments are to be found, whose annual receipts for liquors retailed and used on the spot, is estimated to be not less than $125,000 To the above fifty: four gambling: houses are to be added. Reform is needed, and if the Maine law would iacrease temperance principles among the masses, [ would pray for its adoption..

The Obio Penitentiary, located on the Sciota, northwest from the State House, is a beautiful builing, tenanted by 450 convicts, between the ages of twelve and seventy two; but tho building, as ig admitted, is too small. The ventilation is and must be bad; most of the convicts are scrawne’ and yellow, for want of air and a bath house; and 8m not Geena that an epidemic, as the cholera, weeps the building. When will civil ralers learn to treat convicts as invalids? God knows they a: invalids, suffering with mental derangements, which sre only gggravated by confinement in such disease- generating coops as our prisons generally are. It is not at all strange that “criminals onco, are always criminals,” while such ebioge remain. At present several inane patients are kept in the Infirmary, when they should be atthe Asylum. The Asylun here for lunatics ise yualled by none in the Union perhaps, excopt that at Utica, New York.

If I was disposed to be critical, | might add that the Sciota river, being rather slaggish in its movements, sends forth a humidity or daapness promotive of typhoid symptoms, and thus greatly augments the inflaence of bowel complaints, which are generally fatal here insummer. But I will be go presumptious as to say, and I should siaim to know something of my profession, that when the proprie- tor of the American retires, with a fortune, to live in the bosom of his family in tho city’s suburbs, bowel complaints will be less frequent. I mean what I say; for, a8 a physician, | do assert that too much good living makes more dyspeptica and cholera patients than anything else.
