Bumnos Ayres, Feb. 8, 1852. noe more are we free. The tyrant Rosas is ‘been beaten, and has escaped; he is now on board the English steam frigate Centaur. What a won- @erful week we had! And such a change!—it isal- most impossible te take place. You are, of course, aware that General Urquiza, the Governor of Entre Rios, has been collecting a Jarge army of “Orientals,” ‘Correntinos,” &e.; and, assisted by Brazil, with their navy and large Jand forces, was determined to throw Rosas out of power. Urqniza, with his army, had reached near Moren, about eight leagues frem Buenos Ayres, and en Saturday, 3st January, had a brush with vome of Rosas’ cavalry, who were completely rented. Rosas then left his encampment, at San- tes Lugares, and marched about a league out, waiting Urquiza, On the morning of Tuesday, 3d stant, the armies met—the number I cannot ex- aetly ascertain, but it is said Rosas had 25,000 men in the action, and Urquiza about 20,000, leaving 16.000 that he did not bring on the field. 1 was moving, and distinctly heard the firing of ar- tillery, at about seven and a nalf o’elock in the morning, which was kept up until about one P. M. Aswe had been along time expecting Urquiza, I bad been looking for a house, so as to move in town, living, as you know, at a quinta in the outskirts of the city; and on Thursday, 29th January, had hired a house, thinking I would not commence moving until the next Monday. Everything, however, Jockede@minous on Sunday, and'I determined to work as fast as possible the next day, to get my furniture in town. Early on Monday morning we com- menced moving,and that day got great many things im town; and that night I still slept at the Quinta, yising early the next morning, continuing to pack wp and load the carts, when, as before mentioned, as we were taking breakfast, we heard the cannon- ading, and I told * * * * * we would have to hurry as much as possible, as we would soon have the fugi- tive soldiers running intotown. (I had always sup- sed Rosas would be beaten, and made my caleula- jons accordingly.) About ten and a half o'clock, ancighbor sent word tome not to send any more furniture to town, as the flying soldiers (cavalry or “‘lanceros”’) were fast going into town. I therefore ordered my carriage. got into it, filled it with sma artieles, and drove to town as fast as possible, | ing two loaded carts to await my orders. W got in town, I found the people in great commotion, and the routed soldiers flocking intown. I however rent immediately for the carts, and they got in safe. Two male and two female ts, however, re- mained at the Quinta that night, with the rest of the furniture, vi piano, pictures in the parlor, eooking utensils, China and glassware, contents of store room, ard the servants’ effects, horses, &e. Inthe town, Gen. Mancilla, who had charg of the city, placed militia on the agoteas of th houses of the principal streets leading into the city, dug deep trenches across each of the streets leading into the Plaza, raised barricades, and mounted a gun at the mouth of each street, to defend the Plaza. It was easy to perceive that these etlorts would be useless, if the victorious army entered the city. All the stores and houses were closed, but the streets were full of people, and some thousands of Rosas’ youted cavalry camein by 3 or 4 o’elock, and went te the Plaza; and from thence Gen. Mancilla ordered them to go out of the city to the southward, and each one look out for himself. In the afternoon I went to Mr. Pendleton’s, (who lives ubout a block from us.) the United States Charge, who informed me that he had received a message from Mancilla vequesting the foreign ministers ts i Urquiza, and see wit terms of capitulation would be agrecd upon, s0 as to stop the effusion of blood. They went, aud re rino de San Benito, Rokas’ place of res: 1h was now Urquiza’s bead-quaiters, until next morning, andin the mean- time a cominittee of cilizens also went out to treat with Urguiza. As Rosus bad fled, Urquizn was satisfied, and, of course, he was now master. He ap- pointed Dr. Vicente Lopez Provisional Governor of the city and province of Buenos Ayres, until the people could elect one according to the laws. We learned that im the afternoon, disguised as a common sold went to the house of Mr. Gore, the British Minister, and both he and Manuelita embarked, from @’clock that night, on board the British Leeust, and the next day (4th) were taken to the @entaur. E On the morning of the 4th, afew of Urquiza’s sol- diers entered the city, without officers, and com- © since 1828, and Dictator since, I think, 1831. Every one in his opinion, and saying what would have cost him his life before. Neurl 58 w not killed or taken prisoner, and blame the English for protectin, new no fear im expressing all regret. that Rosas was such a monster. He was to sail to- day for England. They ought to mob him as they did Haynau, the Hungarian butcher, in London. Pedro Ximenes, the captain of the port, ——— Lar- razabel, the Chief of the Serenos, Lorenzo and Enstagnio Torres, the mouth pieccs of Rosas in his Kala of Representantes, General Mancilla, and a reat many of the ‘‘Mashorea” club (cut throass), lone also embarked. Some of the cut throats who | figured in I8#1 and 1842, Nave been hunted up and | shot, and no doubt all that can will escape. Ur- qniza disapproves of this, and says—try thom by the | laws of the country as murderers. General jolus | is Captain of the Port; Colonel Blas Pico, Chief of Police; Colonel Eseulada, Minister of War and Ma- rine. Every thing in the city is now qniet; but there will no doubt be horrible times in the country; and with so many dispersed soldiers, it may be years betore the interior will be as quiet and safe as it was. Still, if they will be moderate, they will build up a respectable government, and life and property will be xafe from tyrannical power. Confiscated property, although sold, will now have te be restored to its rightful owners. Parties who have been to the battlefield say thore are not many elain. I have heard various estimates— from 150 to 500—and it is my opinion that not a sin- le shot of the infantry told. Rosas’ artillery did Fravely. Urquiza had to charge it, and took it, and then turned it on Rosas’ troops. General Pinedo was killed. General Pacheco fled, and is in Luxan with troops, and has sent in his adhesion to Urquiza. Colonel Chilibert, who commanded the artillery, fought bravely, and was taken prisoner, but, as he was a noted assassin and turncoat, was shot, and I saw hig body at Palermo. I have never known warmer weather here than it has been from the 2d to the 6th instant. Thermometer, day and night, in the eoolest set: 38 a 90. wanted to visit the battle field, but I had enough to do to attend to my affairs, and the great heat was enough to kill one, and I have been really sick for the last two days. There are various reperts about fading amine, with a large quantity of gunpowder, under Rosas* house in town, and at the Quinta some barrels with human heads salted down. [f the mine is trae, his intention was to blow up Urquiza and hisfrionds when they entered his house in town, and the one who was to do it will be found, I hope. Many thinge will now be brought to light, as the stopper is of of people’s mouthe, and we shall find out that Rosas was the greatest fiend that has existed in this cen- civilized country. will make his triumphal entry as soon as the weather is a little cooler, and we have some rain. POSTERIPT. Frorvary 12. Rosas left hero on the 9th, and was put on board the English corvette Conflict, and has sailed direct for England. Ihave been informed that all who went with him was Manuelita, his son John, wife and son, General Echagne, ex-Governor of Sante Fe, andwife. Don Pedro Ximeno went down with him, but has returned, and will land again. Larra- zabal (the seamp) has landed, and has paid his re- spects to Gen. Urquiza. Up to the present tine, Gen. Urquiza has not shown any bloody disposition; and all that have gone to visit him, as though craving pardon, have been told by him that he had nothing against them; that if they had offended the laws of the country, they would be tried by them. There seems to be w disposition not to persecute for opinion’s sake; and the Unitarians, who have been et acct tae to death by Rosas, are the most respecta- ble and enlightened portion of the community, and have none of those vindictive, blood-thiraty, and rob- bing propensities that Resus and his myrmidons had. At present there is, perhaps, an excees of liberty, and eventually it may be proper to restrain it ; but until the exuberance works otf, it is, and ought to be, tolerated. The people hardly know. how to aet and talk, being over rejoiced at the downfall of the tyrant. The press speaks out boldly and fearlessly —quite a contrast to their former course; but it. is well enough known that they did not dare to do dif- that Rosas should not land until he reached those shores, where, no doubt, he will have license to re- fleet on his past follies and Thus ends the reign of one of the most cers «alg tyrants that ever disgraced the page of history. ‘It is most remarkable how this mam managed to keep foreign countries ignorant of his proceedings by bribery, but the extent of hie assassinations and crimes which are really almost incredible, will soon be dis- | edosed, and will shoek the civilized world. | On the 4th inst. scattering parties of Rosas’ army | commenced about 11 A. M., sacking the cit; 3 but | the prompt aid of the marines of the U.S. shi, Jamestown, Commodore MeKeever, who iinmediate- | ly opened fire on them, put a check to their proceed- | ings, until Gen. Urquiza sent in a large force from | the outside, who shot down about five handred of the most riotous, which at once restored order, and the city is at present as orderly as if nothing had | happened. Take it altogether, the disturbance was so sudden and transitory, it seems but a dream. New government officers, police, and every thing | necessary for conducting the government, have been | established provisionally, Urquiza not assuming any authority. In speaking to hima few evenings since, he assured me that he did not wish to interfere in the least with this province ; that he has relieved the country of a tyrant, and he wishes the people to form a constitution, which they have never had. He is undoubtedly the greatest man in South Amer- ica; he is about eos of age, but. dees not look to be over forty, mild and gentlewanly in his deport- ment, and has but little of the Spanish characteris- tics. His motto is free trade, and the free naviga- tion of the rivers. The river trade promises to be very advantageous. We have already three steam- ers here, destined for this trade, and many more are ordered and expected immediately. There is another subject, to which we are strongly in hopes Urquiza will direct the new gevernment to take in hand, that is, its currency, which at present is a depreciated paper, the value of which often varies ner cent in twelve hours. Every article of export is purchased with this currency, and gold is an article of merchandise. Of late there has been a system of epeculation in doubloons, by a set of bro- kers, which, if suffered to continue for any length of time, will prove ruinous to the commercial interest of this country. The legitimate merchant is at the mercy of this set. There is one firm here, whe came here a few years ago poor, and now, through the aid of some capitalists, entirely control the monetary affairs of the country. For instanee, the bss fow wecks, they have run the doubloons from cur- rency down to $250. and the holders of produce, (of which there is but little in markot,) continue to demand the same prices as when the deubloons was $395. This state of affairs has com- pletely paralyzed business operations, and vos- sels are daily leaving in ballast, and will continue to do so until this gang of. brokers is broken up, and a specie currency, or its equivalent, is estab- lished. There is same hope that Gen. Urquiza will make things right, as he 1s a speeie-paying man. Of the principal articles of export, hides and wool, particularly the former, there is but little in market. All the native laborers, from the age of 14 to 60 years, have been pressed to serye in the army of Ro- sas for the past six months. 4 Some of the representatives of foreign govern- ments here took very active measures in facilitating the escape of Rosas, which, for the time, caused some unpleasint fecling on the part of the new govern- ment, and there was a rumor that their passports would be tendered them, but upon the assurance of the English Admiral that Rosas should immediately leave the port, and go direct to England, the ex- citement was allayed, Third Letter.

KOSSUTH IN NEW JERSEY—BISHOP DOANE—BSOAPB OF PRISONERS FROM THE STATE PRISON. Trenton, April 17, 1852. Kossuth did not arrive here this afternoon, though he gave the citizens to understand that he would, and the dissatisfaetion at such contemptuous treat- ment has been very considerable. Ho was invited here by tho Legislature some time ago, and the Common Council appointed a Committee of Recep- tion within the last few days, and a committee was | also appointed on the part of the citizens. Last evening the committees having met at the Trenton House, the lately elected ae Tucker presided. ville were appointed & committee to receive Kossuth at the railroad depot, and to provide suitable quarters for him. Mesere. Hamilton, Allison, and Fish were appointed a committee to proceed to Philadelphia, and escort Yesterday a messengor was despatched to Governor Fort to apprise him of the expected arrival of Kossuth this evoning, and to suggest the propriety of his prosence here to weleome Kossuth in the name of the State. Governor Fort, however, did not eomoe, and it is said he will not make his appearance here during Kossuth’s stay. It appears that he considers he has not been treated with becoming courtesy by the Hungarian ia not having received any intimation from him of the time of his visit. Some of the committee here, and citizene, too, feel equally hurt at his want of consi- deration for them. The committee proceeded this morning to Phila- delphia to escort him, as they supposed, to Trenton, when, to their astonishment, he told them he wasin the hands of the eommittee frem Burlington, and could not go to Trenton to-day. ‘This is the more eurious as the Mayor telographed to him to know the time he would arrive. But, instead of answer- ing the Mayor, he telegraphed to Burlington, and the people in that city knew two day’s ago of his intention to go their first, while the Trentonians were kept cout lately in the dark, though the tele- raphic message for Burlington came to the office in Baers and was sent by mail to its destination. The committee, as you may imagine, felt and looked very small, when they suddenly made this discovery at Philadelphia. This forenoon, Kossuth left Philadelphia for Bur- lington, and kept the boat waiting fully ten minutes forhim. The result was, that the moment he ar- rived from his hotel, the captain was compelled to ‘o off without his baggage. Kossnth did not know it was left behind till after some time ; but as soon as he found out, he became almost frantic, and ran about the deck like a child, exciting the astonish- ment of all the passengers. One young man se tied at him that he asked him what he saw about him that was eurious—was he not like ans other man? The young man did not reply, but thought a good deal. The Magyar continued in a state of extreme excitement the entire way, and said that ak bis valuable papers were in the trunks, and that he feared he would lose them, as he had lost two trunks before. Even his nightclothes were left be- hind, and Mrs. Kossuth was in the same awful pre- dicament. Jim Wall, (Mayor of Burlington,) at whose house Kossuth was to be entertained thie evening, isa bit of a wag, and enjoyed theconfusion of his guest very much. He said, in a sort of **aside” to his friends, that Kossuth need not be so very much alarmed about a night shirt and a night cap, as he could provide him with these articles ; but as for Madame, he did not know well how he could manage to get nocturnal garments for her ; he In my last I told you permission had been asked on the Ist inst. to land seme marines from the dif- ferent veesels of war, to protect the property of for- cigners, it was not granted till the evening of the Sd, and about forty men landed from the James- town, the United States corvette now here. On seven marines and three sailors, asa guard. At 10 A.M., of that day, scattering parties of the soldiers of the conquering General Urquiza, commenced breaking into and robbing shops and stores; they were soon joined by some of the disbanded troops of Rosas, disguieed in the same uniform, and hundreds ferently. Why, then, should they be severely cen- sured? Mr. Hallet has suspended the Gaceta Mer- cantil for the present. I have notas yet called on him, and am sorry for hina, as he isa most estima- bie man, and was no more than publisher for Rosas. Itis difficult to form on opinion as to the future course of this govermuent. Will they be liberal? How will their governor be appointed? And will not Gen. Urquiza wish to be President of the Con- nt Ifso, will he be elected, or will he All these are questions of great importance, and time ouly em. “My own opinion is, that th arm ever them, I them well. If pected the lives murdered them in political muttters, he ve been tolerated; but he lost the chance ing himself a true patriot. Urquiza will, . call on this government to pay a good of the expenses of the war. Aud hew will they ‘¢ the mon Rosus always let the bank make bim money, and I do not know but that would be a good a course as any for the present govern- ment to pursue. If th ereate public stock, it must sell at a great discount, and the present mo- ney e#n neverbe redeemed at par. Since the revo- lution, ounces have declined, and are to-day 258. and yuoperty ofhis subj for net agreeing with hin would menced robbing; and Mancilla opened ‘the prison doors, and set the prisoners free, and also disbanded | all the troops he bad, and also the police force, and | said, “Ey ean,” which go und sack the cit eounter-revolution, as Urquiza’s troeps. The consequense ¥ commenced sacking the city, bro! shops, dry goods shops, saudle stores, and in the outskirts of the ings. This was about ten in the morni murkets, and in every direction they we: ing off with their horses loaded with goods ene with a lot of plated candlesticks, ano with whole pieces of broadcloth, bundles of shoes, recados or Spanish saddles, they completely emptied many stores in the suburbs, and there they took out bureaus, wardrobes, pianos, kettles, &e. You can scarcely imagine how pillaged. The most of these were Rosas’ own troops, and some low Italians joined them. Negroes, negresses, and women, robbed the stores almost in the same square they lived. The confusion was terrible; and as there was no police, after it had con- tinued for pearly two hours, the French, Italians, English, Americans, and natives went to the fort, and got arms to go and put down the rob’ u soon they began to stop, as every one ca’ shot down at once; and in the meantime the Ameri ean Minister sent word to Urquiza that it eessary for him to send a foree into the | rotect it from the robbers. This was soon lone, and between them and the citizens, the rob- | bere soon flew to the out ekirte; many were shot down, and others captured and taken to the Carcel, where they were executed at once. The provision: a] Governor issued a decree, that foreight de all taken should be shot in fifteen minutes after they were exptured. ¢ 100 to 150 have been shot for robbing the first ones who were shot, can Marines. The execution r.

Some « Correntino troops were engaged in pludering. Three parties of ntered my house at the Qi on the 4th, an k three va- Juable borses h i 0 cover, table cover, carving knife Almost all think they ought to rise, and I firmly think they will be above 300 before three months have transpired. Frei all we can learn, Rosas had 26,000 men, and Urquiza 25,000. There are a great many wounded —perhaps 500—and many of them were left on the battle field for two days, and with the exces sively warm weather, their wounds were filled with maggots. W, there isin being a soldier! And yet all their sufierings are forgotten. So many troops being near the city makes a great want of grass for the horses, and hundreds of them are put into fine quintas, the grass of which thoy have eaten tothe very roc {t is mournfal to see this desolation; yet it cannot be avoided, and it also makes a great scarcity of fresh grass for the town. It is said that they have driven out into the camp about eighty thousand horses, whi a rehef, as they were like loeusts. I have succeed- ed in getting my horses back, being w little bruis and starved; so my loss is uot go severe as I thought it would be. Rosas, for some time past, had been buying hay, and making large stacke of it at his quinta; and’ now Urqaiza is using it for his horses, went out to Pulermo last hight, with the carriage, and found many of the soldiers removed; but the damage done by ther to the grass, fences and trees, was more, I fi than will ever be repaired. No private person will ever spend the money that will he necessary to keep it in thorough repair as Rosas hadit. He had made a beautiful place of it. Urqniza had appointed to-morrow, to make his entry in the city; but it is countermanded—I do not know for whut reason. ‘The weather is still oppress- sively hot, and it would he severe marching for the troop# to come in through the dust. It is nowa long time since it has rained. * * * * from Montevideo, is expected up here in a few days He has not been here for yours, and called this place a sink of iniquity, and ‘iniquity made law.

He will make a good speculation out of the affair. He is an Englistuman. Many persone are returning here who have been away for years, and the best mon of the country were those who had to go in exile. How happy those who are in Europe and the United States will be when then hear of the tyrant’s fall. There are also many in Chile, Peru, Bolivia, and all Spanish America. Ameng those who were sacking the city many Ita- swere discovered. It seemed a fitting opporta- for all who were inlined to rob.

We have free navigation of the rivers for foreign flags; and if so, there will be a good chance for Ameri eteamers that could carry a good deck load. The city is now very quiet. Second Letter. Brenos Aynes, February 17, 1852. Presuming a narrative of events which have oc- curred here since the Ist inst., would interest your numerous readers, I send you a statement of facts, On the 3d, at about 6A. M., the armies of Gen. Urquiza and Governor Rosas met about eight leaguce from this city, and after four hours pretty severe fighting, Rosus and his army were enticely Governor Rosas escaped to the house of Mr. Gore, the English Charge d’ Affairs, disguised ae @ hegro, ond remained there until 3 o’cleck ie morning of (he 4th, and thon, by the aid of My. Coie, went on board the Hoglish war steamer Centaur, secompanicd by bis daughter, Mavuelita, who wi iced in the unifusm ofan Koglish Naval | of b he steamer have followed. On the Sth’ of black women aided in carrying off the spoils. As there was no resistance, they came into the centre of the city, breaking open thoxe stores which coutain- ed the most valuable goods. The owners of those near the Consulate became much alarmed, and beg- ged Mr. Graham for protection. His answer was, **T have but. seven men, but get the permission from the acting Governor, Governor Guido, and I will protect you as far as is inmy power.” This Was soon procured, snd Mr. Graham, placing him- self at the head of his *\grand army,” seven United States marines, with Mr. Walker, United States Mid- hipman,as his aid, anda French hatter, Mons. Bazil, as a volunteer, marched through the neigh- boring strecis, leaving, as a “corps de reserve,” the three sailors in his off They a at the point where the robbers were destroying the shops. Two wen, well mounted, got off their h s, ant attempted to foree one of the doo: Mr. G. shout- tdtothe robbers to desist, tb sprung to their horses, but ina few minutes returned, with soine twenty-five or thirty others, all well mounted, who, with their guns and, lances pointed, came galloping at full speed towards the little band. Mr. Graham called wpon them to balt, but they came up to with- in thirty yards, and some of them fired, but forta- nately Without effect. The word was given to our marines to fire, which they did to such good purpose that four men fell dead, and the others wheeled and ran. At this a tremendous shout was sent up by the thopheepers, who were looking out from their places security. This was the first check the robbers re- ved, and the first shot fired at them in the city. Immediately after, the citizens, beoelpely the for- eigners. armed themselves and shot at the marau- ders right and left. It is estimated some three hun- dred were killed, and thesacking put an end to. Gen- era] Urquiza has given his acknowledgements of the service of our marines to Commodere McKeever, and to Mr. Grabam, through our Charge, Mr. Pen- dleton. The Late Fire in Charleston, S.C. On Wednesday morning, the HERALD contained telegraphic acount of a fire in Charleston, 8. C. The Charleston News, of the 13th inst., brings us the following particulars:—‘ The fire broke out a’ a quarter before 12 o'clock, on Tuesday night, at the ‘corner of King street and Burns lane. Tho flames were discovered bursting from the two story wooden building on the southeast corner, owned by Mrs. Duffus, and occupied by Mrs. George Reicke a 8 grocery, and the south portion oceupied by Mr. A. Weber, asa fruit store, both of which, with their contents, were entirely consumed. The fire, not- withstanding the most strenuous efforts of our effi- cient fire companics, crossed King street, where, for some time, owing to the combustible nature of the entire surrounding neighborhood, strong fears of a serious conflagration were entertained. ‘The following are the buildings consumed on this side of King sircet, as near a8 we could possibly as- certain:—The wooden building nearly opposite, owned by Mr. McGuire, and occupied by Mr. Bres- nau asa tavern, entirely consumed. building $3,000 in the Hartford. The wooden building occupied by Bush asaclothing store, and by Kuttmann, a jeweller and watchinaker, and owned by Mr. C. Dun, en- tirely consumed. ’ Houso insure Chaileston Insurance and Trust Company. A wooden building ‘owned by M. D. Hyams,‘and eoou- pied by Mr. Hernholm as a frait and tailor shop, consumed. A small brick shop owned by M. be Hyams, occupied by Mr. Braggmann, a shoemaker, consumed. The occupant lost everything, and was not ineured. A wooden house occupied by Mr. Gal- lagher asa tin ware shop, owaed also by M.D. Hyams. The goods of the oceupant niuch damaged and penal injured. The two buildings, the front one cocupied a8 a seed store hy Mr. G. P. Williams, and the rear one as his residence. were destroyed. Mr. Williams’ stock, which was valued at $4,000, was injured to the extent_of about $2,000, and insured for $1,500, in the Hartford Insurance Company. The above buildings, front and rear, owned tls by M.D. Hyams.

I learn that the principal source of his annoyance was leaving behind the notes of his intended speech at Burlington. He remains to-morrow at Burlington, whon, it is un- | derstood, he will go to hear Bishop Doane preach, | though it is said the Bishop does not relish Kos- suth’s visit very much, on the principle that ‘* two of the same trade seldom agree.” Both are elo- | quent speakers, and both are continually raising “material and financial aid.” By the bye, Bishop Doane has been presented to. the Bench of Bishops, by the three Bishops of Virginia, Ohio, and Maine, and eee interesting devolopements may soon be ex- ected. Por Monday afternoon Kossuth will be here, unless he again suddenly changes his mind and proceeds, without stay, to Newark, Jersey City, or New York. There appears to be little or no preparation making here to receive him—no enthusiasm among the peo- ple. There is to be no’ procession ; but a committee simply shows him the way from the railroad depat to his lodgings, at the ‘Trenton House. He will make a speech in the afternoon, and one dollar will be charged for admission to the performance. The committee had tremendous difieulty in ebtain- ing any public building. At first it was announced that he would speak in the Temperznee Hall; but that was no go. Several churches were then applied for, without avail; and at iast, the Front street Methodist Church was obtained late this evening, at # sum of $20, after the expression of sundry scruples on the part of the trustees, who oll 1 to the xpit- ting of tobacco juice, and clipping and shouting, &e., &e., in the “house of God.” The object being to raise the sinews of war, the jargest building has been procured (eapable of seating about 1,000 per- sons), and the tickets have been distributed to the ladies to operate upon their male acquaintances. Whether the church will be filled is very doubtful, as the mass of the people seem rather wold about Kos. suth and intervention ; while some pronounce him a humbug, being very indignant about his indirect insult to Henry Clay, and his direct insult to Capt. Long, ofthe Mississippi. There is also a feeling about the royal and anti-republican pomp of entries, &e., he has exhibited in the different cities where he has been. Moreover, the Hungarian bonds are looked upon as no better security than the Plainfield Bank. And, to crown all, the alight he has now offered to ‘Trenton, and the weakness he has shown on board the steamboat from Philadelphia to Tacony, have damaged him to a vast extent among the inhabi- tants of the eapital of New Jersey. The two local papers “damn him with faint praise.” One says, ‘‘there are many who differ with him in his idea of intervention for non-intervention.” The other says, “it is to be regretted that this visit had not been made at an earlier day,” and then goes on to speak of “the diversities of opinion as to the question of intervention or of material aid for Hunn; ry.” “Men,” it adds, ‘may well differ with M. Keseuth as to these two subjects, while at the same time they sympatni: &c. So that a qualified and cheap **sympath; is about the amount of the sup- | port held out to him by the whig and democratic or- | ee of this city. How different from the tone of three or four months ago. A public dinner is talked of after his speech on Monday, but I see no preparations for it—no an- nouncement of it in either of the local papers of to- day er by placard—and it is therefore to be inforred that there can be nothing more than @ private din- ner party. q P. S.—April 18.—Last night or this morning, two | convicts, who had three years to serve in the State prison here for Burglary escaped by digging under HI, and by scaling the outer wall. One of them was ity -one years of age. Their | names are Augustus ane and Abraham Haycock, alins Hay, alias Williams. Winans, twei two years of age, has two large scars on his forehead ; and Haycock, who is sixty-one years, is only five feet three inches, and has several ‘scars on his ingers and thumbs. They both wore buff clothing and caps. $100 reward is offered for the apprehension of each. The old man resided at Paterson—the yours one at New Hampton, N.Y. One was the | aker, and the other the cook of the prison. Kossuth and the Boston City Authorities, [From the Boston Tranveript, April 10.)

Provipencr, April 9, 1852. The Result of the Election—The Mode of Voting— The Maine Liquor Law, &c., §c. In writing to you, I do it thinking that 98 the most exciting political election that ever occurred in this State has passed, and that you like to be posted up in matters of this sort, I avail myself of the privilege of imparting such to you. Toa person not conversant with the political affairs of our State, the last election looks singular indeed. Rhode Island is a small State, to be sure. She depends wholly upon her manufactures for support. You well know the history of her political affairs to (within) two years ago. “At this time, quite a large number of prominent democrats met at a certain house, and pledged themselves that if money could carry the State for the democrats, it should be done. Secretly they went to work, and in the country towns they registered voters. The consequence was, when the election came, the whole democratic State ticket was clected, and they had one branch of the Assem- bly—the Senate. Before going farthor, I will explain the qualifica- tions of avoter. He must be a resident of the State two years, and reside in the town or city where he Votes six months. All voters have to be registered, and must be, before the first day of December prior to the election. Those who own property to the amount of $134, are exempted from paying a tax for the privilege of voting; all who rests own that amount of property have to pay one dollar. When a person is once registered, it stands so for all time ; and should he neglect to pay his dollar any year, not withing to vote, when he does vote, he has to pay just so many dollars as the number of years he has not voted and paid his tax. For instance: If I yote this year, and do not wish to do so again for five years, when I do yote I will have to pay five dollars; s0, you see, when a person is once regis- tered, he must pay his dollar every year to enjoy the privilege of voting. Voters are ‘not compelled to pay this tax only when they wish to enjoy the privilege of the ballot. ‘The wealth of Rhode Island is in the whig party, and thé, to a man, proseribed all persons who did not vote their political creed. Colored persons can vote in this State by the same qualifications as a white citizen. Foreigners, J mean of foreign birth, must own real cetate to the amount of $134 before they can vote. All ballots were put into envelopes —the voter received them of distributors appointed for the purpore—he then went to the warden, called out his name, the warden echoed it, and when the elerk had checked it upon the voting list, he said “checked’’—thus a person’s name is called over three times before he deposits his vote in the ballot box. I now come to incidents connected with the last election. On the first of December last, both par- ties had fully registered for this election. Those conversant with registry, conceded that the State would go for the democrats in April, by 1,500 or 2,000 majority. In January, the As-embly met. The whig party, knowing that all hope of regain- ing the State by votes of their own party was use- less, went to work and started the Maine law hobby. As ill luck would have it for the democrats, some of them in the Assembly were Maine law men, and advocated that law. The question of the passage of the law was first taken in the lower branch of the Assembly (which was whig by two majority), and it was defeated ; being a joint bill, it wept to the Senate (which was democratic), and there passed, with the proviso of referring it to the people for their sanction, whether it ‘should become a law or not. The bill then had to go te the lower branch egain for concurrence. There it was passed, but the proviso was cut off. It weut back to the Senate again, but the Senate adhered to the proviso, and so the bill was lost. Lieut. Gov. Lawrence, in the Senate, made one of the most bitter speeches that was made against the law. As the time advanced near for election, organs were most bitter against Lawrenee against the Maine law. The editor of the whig for voting the Post, ! position, and gave notice he should battle for the Maine law, The conventions of both parties met. The demo- crats nominated the persons who were elected last year. The whigs nominated Maine law men, but a majority of them declined (this isthe State ticket). But at last they fustened upon the most popular men in their party, and they were given out as Maine Jawmen. Neither candidate upon the two tickets showed his colors but Lawrence, but it was well known that all of them on the democratic ticket were opposed to the Maine law. When the towns nominated their senators and rep- resentatives, the democrats put up candidates in- diseriminately, but the whigs in nearly 'y town nominated Maine law men. The whig organs said the Maine law was the test que demo cratic organs disputed it. Election day came. The whig party, so eager to gain the ascendancy, went nearly unanimously for the candidates of their party. In the whole State, only one whig, who deals in liquors, went against Maine law men. This is as fur as has been ascertained. The democrats, up to a week before clection, it was thought, were united, but when election day came, the temper- ance dentocrate bolted, and either went for the whigs or voted for Maine law men. The conse- quence of this was, that in all ef the close towns whig Maine law men were elected. ‘To sum up the concition of parties in this State, the whiga have the lower branch of the Assembly by a large ma- jority. In the Senate, fourteon whigs and fifteen demecrats are elected—two towns to have another ti Jf the democrats can elect in one of the towns, the Senate will be tie. The Lieutenant Governor having a vote, it certainly will he whig, ae they have a large majority on joint ballet. The whole democratic State ticket is elected, with the exception of Lawrence. So, you will see that the political complexion of the State is democratic, though the whigs will con- tio] the affairs of the State, the Governor having no veto power. This city went democratic on the State ticket, but there was a whig senator clected, and cleven whig representatives—one no choice. Their ma- joritics were from 100 to 200. The whig organs do not boust of checking the democrats in their reforms, but they give eredit to the temperance democrats for electing their men. A United States Senator is to be choren in place of J. H. Clarke, whig.. The democrats are much chagrined at being beaten b: men of their own party, and if vengeance can be Sinco the election, ea Seeding ping 8 “ay that for their party to the Maine law won Political death fie ahsce bas more than that, it would be death to the interest of the watering pisces in the south part of the State.

Should the whigs now t sing the Maine law, the democrats wit do it, sud than good bye, Newport, to your prosperity. The Maine law must be passed at some rate, for the democrats will have revenge, and the whig party will be the se- verest sufferers by its being done. It is conceded that this spring election cost the democrats about $20,000, and the whigs $40,000. The Gossip of Paris. : Panis, April 1, 1892.

The bright rays of the sun have been darkened by a violent rain, which is now and has been raging for the last two days, rendering Paris extremely dull. It will, however, be beneficial. for the ground was so dry, and the grass 40 much burnt, that we were threatened to be deprived of spring and an agreeable seuson, the most agreeable, perhaps, of the year. Pleasures of all sorts, notwithstanding it is the end of Lent, are still going on among certain circles of society, and the theatres aro nightly filled, from pit to dome. Several parties worthy of being men- tioned have lately taken place. The first, which deserves notice on account of its peculiarity, was a dinner, followed by a ball, given by M. Levassor, the talented comic actor of the Palais Royal, to a select party of friends, writers, men of letters, and all the pretty actresses of Paris. The dinner at half-past five, and was elegantly served up. Among the guests was a well-known broker of New York, an eccentric man, who is living in Paris in elegant style. Wit and quick manners have made him a lion in Paris, and he bas such a delicate way of spending his money, that he always aug- ments the number of his friends. A few days Mr. having resolved to go to the ‘Vaudeville theatre with somo friends, to see the new play, ** Dame aux Camelias,” applied to the box fice, and requosted tho clerk to procure a box for him. This was refused, as the book of the box office was filled for a weok to come. Mr. ——— sent anote to Brus- sels, by telegraph, and hired a box for the second day, at the Theatre de la Nation, where the play of Alexandre Dumas’ son is nightly performed. On the morning of that day, he started from Paris by special train, with his guest; they had a refined inner at Brussels, enjoyed the performance, and came back to Paris by another special train—bill to the amount of $600. “The prettiest actrosses danced at Levassor’s party, and the tout ensemble was» charming affair. Mrs. Bertin, the actress at the Varicties theatre, who possesses the best chic and demeanor, gave, on Saturday last, another fine party which was at- tended by about four hundred persons. The heads of the diplomatic corps and many foreigners were present, and danced till any Mr. Arsine Houssay, tho able manager of the French theatre, decided that he would also Bivea fend Sensing arty; but as soon as his project had een made public, by some indiscreet friends, he received so many demands that he saw it would be impossible to refuse many of them without mak- ing more enemics than he wanted. He therefore re~ nounced his project, and Iam told will not re~ sume it. The Americans residing in Paris have nos yet given up the pleasure of the winter. The exeite- ment of the capital isso enticing that they daily organize some new “fun,” and put into practice the French saying, that life ought to be “short and ood!” A few days ago, a ty of nine ladies and our gentlemen, from New York, Boston, Philadel- phia, and other cities in the United States, went te Bois de Boulogne to enjoy the bright rays of the sun and te breathe the pure ‘air. At the Porte Maillot of one of the gates of the wood there is a man whe has about twenty donkeys and horses, which he lete to those who like to enjoy a ride in the alleys of the forest. Tho nine ladies and the four gentlemen mounted either on donkeys or on horseback, and enjoyed considerable “fun.” Some of the donkeys took le mors aux dents, and ran as fast as possible, se fast that two or three of the ladies were thrown over the animals’ heads on the ground,—like an um- brella which has heen turned up by the wind. The party ended at Madrid, a villa restaurant, which is situated ut the other end of the Bois ce Boulogne, by an excellent lunch, at which all he ladies and gentlemen drank their healths and the ealths oftheir friends abroad. The Crystal Palace of Mr. Paxton, which is now ke a deserted castle in the centre of London, is to © transported to Paris, piece after piece, and re- uilt in the centre of the sqnare, in the Champs } lysécs. A sort of diplomatic interferenee has pre- sided over that affair, which has been settled bya decree dated March 30, and signed Louis Napoleon, and which will be put into immediate execution. The expenses will amount to seven millions of franes. The Champs Elysées will beeome, in a short time, a second Paris; the magons are busily engaged in erecting houses in all directions. 4 Hughes deo Massilia, the proprietor of that admirable mena- gery, which was exhibited here last year, has ordered a splendid building to be erected on the pro- perty of M. Beaujou, andwhich will be organized into a permanent ext-ibition of animals of all sorts. He will be ready on the fifth of May next, to opom his zoological museum.

The two bridges of tho Seine, (Pont des Arts and Pont Neux), which have been under repair for the last two or three months, have been completed, and they are now opened to the public. I was crossing, the other day (Sunday last), the first of those bridges, at sunset, and was really astonished to wit- hess a very extraordinary natural phenomenon. A cross of white dust was hanging over the Seine, and was lighted by the sun, which gave it a brilliant appearance.\ The same sight was witnessed by a wee number of pergons, and could not be accounted for. A sort of California has heen discovered in Bri- tain, at Slomberze. Some ay riculturists, who were ploughing in a ficld, found a large vase, of acurious Jorm,which appeared to contain some precious metals. ‘They broke it in pieces, and found in the inside, a large and heavy gold bar, which weighed 20,000 franes. A search was made in the field, which was said to be a Celtie Holmen, and several other vases, lie a bars of the same material, have been found. A very curious antiquity has just been discovered by the masons who are demolishing the houses at the corner of the Rue fosses St. Germain L’ Auxer- rois and L’ Arbre Sec. It consists of two old the- trical bills, dated 1772, July 23d, and November JSth—the first avnouncing the entertainment of cock fighting, at the Coliseum, (« theatre of Paris,) and the second ofa pantomime, with “fireworks,” ntitled *The Titan: ‘These two bills were pasted on the window of a wine warehouse, and had beon hidden for nearly a contary. They have been taken off with much care and sent to the Royal Library. A line of steamers between Havre and New York will decidedly be established next scason. Messrs. Leravasseur and E.
