Tyrannical rc,udations of Austria as to American and English Travellers.—Incapacity of the Frank- fort Consulaie.— Preparations for War—Exten- sive Emigration. By the Englisi papers, you will have seen that Prince Schwarzenberg, the Austrian premier, in a note addressed to the British Foreign Office, upon the subject of the refugees, has declared that his govern- ment would order severe and restrictive measures against the citizens of all those States and coun- tries who favored and protected the revolutionary plots and attempts of the political refugeos. This declaration of Prince Schwarzenberg was, and is, rathor shrouded in mystery; which, by the kindness of # friend attached toa legation, 1 amenabled to explain. Heretofore only goods and merchandise were subjects of prohibition; but, by the Austrian rule, men have now also been added to the list of prohi- bited articles. Orders have been given to ail Aus- trian officials, not (o permut any American or Eng- lishman to pass, henceforth, the frontiers into the Austrian dominions, unless he has a special permis- Cruvelli, of the Ttatian theatre, and M'llo Duprox, the sweet singer, diplaged their melodies, and wore rewarded with deaten ng applause. The comedy, Po be by tho bet artists of the French theatro, ‘Nes Fix and Brohan (and it was the * Rivaux d’ Eux-méme” of Molicre) came next, and was well re- ceived. The ball which ended the party was also a brilliant affair, and the tout ensemble will long be remembered in Peris. _ M. Turgot, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, is paring « grand ball, to como off on the 10th inst oh teld that the whole garden of the Hotel d Capucino will be covered by a thick tent, and adorned with lights and flowers. No doubt the affair will be magnificent. I shall be able to furnish the particulars of that perty. ~* One half of tho citizens of Paris are now in great despair, owing to the closing of the shooting season, which took place on the 29th ult. One of tho most striking points of the French character is tho desire for mpi et ies: among 36,000,000 of inhabitants there are about 10,000,000 sportsmen. In Paris this fashion is reigning to a great degree, and every Sunday persons leave the city to visit the Plaine St. Donis, Asniéres, Argenteuil, Colombes, and other neighboring places, whero free shooting is allowed, while the more fortunate go to the ox-royal forosts, where game is plentiful. ‘The gamo law prohibiting the sale of quails, partridges, phoasants, ducks, bucks and stags is Pie into execution, and the gourmands have joined their lamentations to those of the sports- men--and this will keep on till September next. What will the sportsmen do during theso six months? Some will devote their time to fishing, sion, expressed in the visa of an Austrian legation, on his passport. These visas and permits the Austrian logations are to grant only on the strength of written or personal testimonials of the Ameri- can or English diplomatic agent or Consul, residing at his place of residence, thus testifying and plodg- ing that his cov tryman does neither travel for litical purposes, nor that he belongs, or ever has elonged, to a political club. The incumbent is to be the judge hoy tar the testimonials of the foreign representatives, with whom, in every case, he must be personally acquainted, are sufficient for granting he required visa aud permit. These restrictive Measures apply not only to Austria proper, but also © all such places and States where Austrian troops are garrisoned, so that the greatest part of Italy is closed to Amorican aud English travellers, and even Naples and Rome are only to be reached by sea. ‘Lhe greatest loss and hardships of this unreason- able measure will fall on the Austrian subjects, and en all such as tavern keepers, coach proprietors, ides, and those who have heretofore made their iving by foreign travellers, as tourists and travel- ders for pleasure will shun al such places. Only our merchants and men of business may not at once be able to break off their connection with Austrian ones, and may for business be obliged yet to visit tho Austrian dominions and places occupied by them. It will become the duty of our legations and consulates to intercede for them, and to facilitate the attainment of the prescribed visas. For this purpose, the Americsn offices in Germany must bo rovided with efiicient men; the more so as it is likely thai, at the request of Austria, the Germanic Dict’ will extend the Austrian messure over all We are, however, badly off in Germany. e there, it is true, two legations—at Berlin ona ; but both are situated at the frihest extromity of Germany, and remote from the track which travellers take who either visit Germany, or pass through it on their way to Switzerland or Italy. lancing at the map of this country, you will per- ceive that, in the greatest part of Germany, the Americans are left without protection, at least a diplomatic one. Tt is at Frankfort-on-the-Maine where the United Htates ought to have a full legation. There is the Germanic Diet. Not only all the German States have thero diplomatic representatives, but also moat of the other European ones; every authenti- cation, permit, and visa can there be early procured. Besides that, Frankfort lies on the great travelling route, where the roads from north to south, and from cast to west, cross, so that a traveller can searcely avoid that city. This favorable situation was perhaps one ef the motives for which our government created there, in 1848, a legation, ac- credited by the federal authoritics, whish has, however, been discontinued by the present. admin- ration, and the protection and interests of our evs were again leit to our consulate there. This, in ordinary times, and were the incumbent aa efficient and able gentleman, might suffive, but eur present Consul at Frankfort is a gentleman oighty years old, rather in his dotage, and has been nearly ten years confined to his bed and easy chair, and unable to make ure of bis limbs. Quite helpless Bimself, ho cannet naturaily help or assist any one else. His business has so far been attended to by his son-in-law, who is net an American, nor has ever been in the United States, aud has neither fecli nor views in common with our fellow-ci ns, nor can in any respect do anything for them. Mr. Swindler, cur Consul, by not having been ablo to leave his easy chair for 2 number of years, has not become acquainted with the members of the Diet and legations ; tb » necordance with their instructions cannot, the-efere, accept his writings 8s sufficient testimonils. eo that it is now quite im- possible to obtain at Frankfort the prescribed visa of the Austrian legatiy With these facts our government cannot be acquainted, otherwise it certainly would have meade other provisions. Whatever the merits ef Mr. Swindler may have been heretofore, it isa matter of fact, that for a number of years he has been alrealy in this paralyzed state, unable to move and toact himself. Offices, however, in our country, are created for the public welfare, and not asa sinecure, and government ought, there- fore, to take another appointment. Perhaps the insnfliciency of the income may have been the cause that it could not find an efficient gentleman to accept the ¢ but even then it would have been better to have no Consul than an unfit ono, as in such case, the foreign and even the Austrian legation will grnut risas on the testimo- nials of bankers and other merchants of good stand- ing; of which, as loug « nominal consul exists, travellers are debarred. vu who areever ready to see abuses corrected, ought to advocate the necessi- iy of another appointment, or rather, in preference, the re-establishment of a United Frankfort.

A good deal of surpriso is manifosted at tho delay in bringing the “ Gardiner caso” to trial, and as tho subject, from the great notoriety which has boon given it, as woll asthe high position occupied by some of the parties, either nearly or recently con- nected with it, is ono of considerable interest. 1 have taken tho pains to learn tho facts connocted with tho delay. It has generally been supposed that Gardiner’s counsel have thrown obstacles in the way, which havo caused tho trial to be post- poned from time to time; but such is exactly the reverse of the truth. Every effort has been made by Messrs. Bradley and Carlisle, the counsel for the defendant, to have the case taken up, but unsuccess- fully. Mr. Mendall, the United States District At- torney, made a motion at cach of the terms, since December 1, 1851, to postpone the case on account of the absence of witnesses, and on Tuesday, when Mr. Bradley again moved to have tho case taken up, Mr. Fondall reiterated his complaint of not | having any witnesses yet, and begging for more | time. He stated that he was in possession of depo- sitions taken by Mr. Slocum, in Mexico; but that they could not be used in court, and he was, thore- fore, obliged to depend upoa the arrival of wit- nesses. Mr. Bradley replied that his client also had voluminous written testimony, obtained from Mexico, confirming all that had been testified to before the Board of Commissioners, and fully de- monstrating the justice of the —a portion of the depositions consisting of affidavits irom the Minister of Foreign Relations of Mexico. In addi- tion to this, it appears Dr. Gardiner has, at his own expense, procured the attendance of witnesses in | this city from Moxico, and Mr. Bradley thought it strange the government could not also have pro- cured the attendance of its witnesses, if it has any, equally as promptly. I confers 1 think Gardiner has some reason to torney. Jt is now nine months since the indict- Under the constitution, the accused in all criminal prosecutions is entitled to a speedy trial.

That Costa Rica iy acting in pertect good faith, and with the fullest reliance on tho validity of her claims, is proved by her willingnoss to submit the whole ease to the governments of eithor the United States, Spain, Great Britain, or any other respectable government naturally agreod upon for arbitration, and to abide by the decision of that government. Considering the weakness and intornal fouds oftho Central Amorican States, ihe United States ought to actas umpire betwoen them, and see that neither of them is treated with injustice, and certainly not by her own citizens. In doing this, the govern- went of the United States would not only aet as a wacemaker between two continental powers, but in all probability prevent much suffering and loss to its own citizens.

You can searcely form an idea of the the difficulties in passing anyact. The Legislature of this State, meeting for tho first time under a new constitution, similar, and, indeed, modelled after that of your own State, ix, in political complexion, demo- cratic. The parties so nearly tiod, and with a pro- vision in the new constitution that all bills must re- ceive the vote of a constitutional majority of mem- hers elected, has the effect to procrastinate legisla- tive action. The excitement occasioned by the discussions on the bill to amend the charter of the Cumberland Coal and Iron Company, exceeds anything be- fore known in the annals of our quiet enpital. The bill in the Senate was made tho special order of the day for Tuesday last. Ils enemies and oppononts sought by every means known in legislative arenas, to kill it by amendments. The discussion continued until Priday evening, n its friends hecoming ex- asperated, determined to pass it at all hazards. Send- ing to a restaurant for refreshments, in order to pre- yent an adjournment, the final vote was taken quite Jate in the day, amid much excitement and confu- sion: ayes, 12; noes, 6—being a constitutional mnsjority of one vote. The effect of this bill is to ereate a controlling power by the unity of many in- ests into one—contlicting hitherto, but now bein merged, will lessen the cost of transportation of coal and largely inereaso its consumption. The property thus united consists of 12,000 acres of coal land, the surfaces of which are fine farms. Geologists say there aro 100,000 tons of coal per acre. The amount of personal property is very large, with the neces- sary railways and paraphernalia for doing the busi- ness. The canal, with six foet of water, is now in fing order, and the prospects are good for a large trade. Annapolis is a town celebrated for baying been completed, for its oysters and such terrapins, cooked as they only know how to do it south of New ae A.B. Our Albany Correspondence, Aupany, March 25, 1852. The Charge of Bribery—The Kossuth Fund in Al- bany—Local Politics—Mecting of the Anti-Rent- o $e. Excitement still reigns in the Legislature. Yes- terday, in the Senate, Gen. Chamberiain, of Alle- gany, lad presented, through a friendly Senator, a series of resolutions or statements and affidavits deny- ing that he evor attempted to bribe the Attorney General in order to obtain his influence for a contract, or that ho over said anything in relation to placing a one thousand dollar bill in bis path, or put in ope- ration any other delieate process of attracting his favorable attention. The affidavits, &c., were re- ceived by the Senato as ® mere matter of form, al- though not the slightest attention is paid to the Ge- reral’s statement. Senator Bristol was in favor of placing the communication before the Senate, and made a few remarks to that cifect. It was oven- tually laid upon the table. A communication was received from M. Kossuth, stating in reply to an invitation from the Legislature to visit this city, and which was tran=mitted to St. Louis, through Colonel Spencer 8. Benedict, of Go- vernor Tiunt’s that he considers it almost impossible for h visit Albany during the Ses- sion of the Legislature, (which will close on the 9th of April,) but that he hopes to pry his respects to tis Excelleney, before returning to fight the battles of bis country. M. Kessuth don’t sRpeee to be particularly popular at the South. In this place he 3s aparently not more se. The Hungarian Associa- tion, of which young Seward, (son of the Senator,) is cheirman, have collected from the sale of bonds, and the proceeds of charitable contributions, after having held two or three meetings at the City Hall, which were addressed by the aforesaid eloquent Seward, vend his assistant, George Daweon, Wsq., something in the neighborhood of fifty dollars all told. ‘This is true, although not flattering or encou- raging to tho committee.

AL h 20, 185 The State Libvary—Litevary Donations from Bu- rope and South America, §e. There is no State in the Union which has been more mindful of (he importance of possessing a va- luable public library than New York. — Approy tions were made at an early period to lay the fou dation for coll and as the fund incroased wa- nually, the contrib by Legislatures hive been correspondingly Liberal, Tho teust from our most entorprising and educated ou. charged Couricts, who have been very judicious in Pacing paslt Weeks on the shelves as the dovotoes of esionca, the arte, history, learning, and genoral litoratere, mostly de- sire. The immense valuo of these collections in- duced tho last Legislature to make provision for the erection of a commodious fire building, de- lehettom the Gopited, ip ipa beg property is now deposited. t it large and va- uable ‘ndditions have’ been mado. to the library; many are donations from foreign countries and pub- lic institutions. Tho following embraces a portion: — From the King of tho Two Sicilias, a copy of tho long known and valued “ Flora Napolitana,” being a description, with plates acoompunying, of the plants native to the kingdom of Naples, in six folio volumes. From the King of the Netherlands, a copy of the magnificent work of Professor Blumo, in Dur folio yolumes, being a description of the plauts found in the East Indies, with numerous engravings. The Royal Instituto also sent nearly # completo aories of its transactions and miscellanoous publications. From the republic of Chilo, the * National, Givil, and Political History” of that country, in fourteon volumes, with a folio atlas of plates. Irom France, the topographical map of that coun- try, which has been in the course of publication sinoo 1833, and is not yet completed—175 folio sheeta—as adonation from the Minister of War. The city of Paris presented a copy of the ‘ Historio Gal levies of Vorsailles,” in fifteen volumes folio. ‘This reat work contains many hundred engravings, il- ustrative of the historical men and evonts of France from the earliest times. Donations have also Leen received from the Minister of the Intorior, Public Instruction, of Justice, of the Navy, of Pub- lie Works, and of Agriculture and Commerce. o- yeral valuable works have been received from the National Library of France, amongst othors, cight yolumes of that curious and valuable collection, illustrative of tho early history of our own State, tho * Jesuit Relations,” consisting of about twenty vo- lumes. Donations have also been received from tho cities of Bordeaux and Nantes, tho Geological So- city of France, and various other institutions and individuals. These exchanges are principally eb-. tained through the instrumentality of M. Vatte- mare. One of the trustees of the State Library, during a recent visit to Kurope, established an interchango of books with tho ancient Library of St. Mark’s, at Venico, and some six hundred volumes ave now on their way to this country. ‘The donations made during the year havo oquuled, if not excelled in value, the annual amount grantor by the State. Our New Orloans orrespondence. New Oxirans, March 1, 1852, o rf The Order of the Lone Star--Extending the Area of Freedom, §c. I must not omit to write of one of the liveliost obullitions of the season-—‘ The Order of the Lone Star.” To some it smacks portontously of powder, piracy, and plunder. It is an organized body of men professing neither whig nor@emocratic affilia- tion in spirit, disclaiining old party issues tn foto, and acting upon principles de novo. Tho object of their pursuit and worship is to be reached through the name of liberty. What that object is, there is none to develope satisfactorily. They have, "tis true, published a constitution, and upon its platform allare invited to stand who are for the oxtension of the area of freedom on earth. But if there is nothing more than meets the eye, why is this mado a secret order? Certain designs have been attributed to them. The name and the charactor of some of the members have stamped an a) ce upon the or- ganization favoring tho suspicion that it is a revi- yal of fillibusterism. A New Orloans coi indent: of a Havana paper made that charge some time ago, and promised to publish the secrets ; but he has not yet dono so. Tho constitution has this preamble:—— We, the undersigned, members of “The Order of ths Lone Star,” desirous of extending the area of liberty, and believing that liberty and republicanism are essential to the happiness of man, and to the full developoment of his virtues and intelligence, and that it is the duty of all men toaid others to the extent of their ability, in the pursuit of happiness—regarding it as one of the first du- ties of American republicans, to endeavor, by all lawful and proper nscans, to diffuse throughout the world the principles of liberty and republicanisin, as transmitted to theta by their ancestors—to comfort und aid the weak— to cheer and sympathize with the oppressed—have, as a means of carrying into effect these principles and ob- jects. organized themselves into “The Order of the Lone Star,” and do ordain and establish the following constitution, From which it 1s plain that none can easily find out tho practical aim of the ‘ Order,” save those who enter, and probably indced not then, in full; or why is the great seerei, the arcanes arcanum, oe zealously Raa by the provision ot degrees, gene- ral assemblies, supreme council, &e.? As it is, how- ever, declarin, the unobjectionable and republican fers as in the above preamble, working with a sys- tem that tells of wheels within wheels, having guards thrown xbout its eventual aims—embracing among ite }rominent members many of strongly progressive tendencies, and uttracting much attention here be- cause of its considerable growth, this ‘* Order,” it must be inferred, has, or will have, some “ sinews of war,” which alone beget importance and influence now days, superadded to the natural force of or- anized and concentrated sentiment, with their votes. by the advertisements we seo that though the “ Lone Star” has existed but afew months, it has in Now Orleans alone branched out into eight different lodges or divisions, said to average ovor ono hun- dred cach. It has’ also extended to some other States; but I cannot learn particulars. Yet, from what information I have gathered and given, it is evident that none can surroptitionsly or cunningly reach the main seeret. I would not be the rooklees eee Morgen to attempt it. I believe myself that its intention is as it profosses, logal, having duc respect to ** the powers that be;” but that the “* Order’? is endeavoring vigorously and systomati- cally, may he effectually, to attain such extent and ee as will render it fully competent to do di. f the intention is honest, one of the committee, who wrote the constitution and established the order, will, Thear, be travelling soon on its business. He is on industrious gentleman, a whig, a playsician of Lafayette, and President of the General Assembly of Louisiana. Lock out for his track as poet “meandering about.” Of one thing I am sure--- that he isa gentleman who has the reputation of frankness, and of a dosire to claim for himself, or tho cause he may advocate, naught beyond its morits. Its effects by tho politics of this State may not he worthless of consideration. It would seem to bo ® fraternization of incongruous spirits. There are whigs and demecrats, masong and auti-masons, odd-fellows, preachers, religionists, worldling’s and soldiers, but et none have seceded ; there must be some common ith worshipped, some strong bond of union. T be- lieve that, in view of the uncertain six Presidential votes of Louisiana, the ‘Lone Star” as a poli- 1 element is not worthless of consideration. ght hundred votes would be looked aftor protty sharply in New York, I suspect. In the acorn and the onk, are seen ilhustrations of eauso and effect. A emall insect toils unseen in the depths of ocean, but its mysterious work goes on, and soon surmounts the tossing waves in islands and reefs of coral, Al- ready have I to chronicle that the eyes of our office* seekers ave arrested, and on their faces beams the obsequions smile. But as T have reachod to an im- moderate Jength of letter, 1 must not vouture om another subject.
