Like yourselves, we are herein the middle of elec- stioneering—you for your President and Vice Preai- dent, we for our House of Commons. The goneral elections which are now taking place in England, differ in many respects from the great olectoral con- tests of 1832, 1835, 1841, and 1847. Notwithstand- ing tho great agitations and excitements,tho strange and even violent phases through which English po- litics have passed during the last twelve months— tho retirement of the whigs—the refusal of the to- ties to take office—the retirement (very like a dis- smissal) of Lord Palmerston, and finally the acces- sion to power of Lord Derby, who threw up protec- tion # diasolution—notwithstanding all these, to whioh I may add the great religious excitoment-- the elections have passed off up to the present mo ment, with the greatest tranquillity. A stranger in London would not be aware that a goneral election wasgoing on unless he stumbled by chance, in his walk, upon a committee room, or a polling booth. In Liverpoo!, however, some agitation prevailed. Tho two liberal candidates, Cardwell and Ewart, have both been rejected, and two ministerialista elected. I enolose you list of the members returned up to ‘the present moment. The liberals are a good way ahead. Out of 214 returns known, there are oni: 60 ministerialists, whilst the opposition counts 15. The four old members for the city of London have been re-elected—Lord John Russell, Sir J. Duke, -Masterman, and Baron Rothschild. Solomons has not been re-elected for Greenwich. Palmerston comes in again for Tiverton; Sir James Graham for Carlisle ; yard (the Nimeveh man) has been valected for Aylesbury; Sibthorp for Lincoln; Lords Jocelyn and Stanley for Lynn; Gibson and Bright for Manchester; Lord Dudley Stuart and Sir Benja- snin Hall for Marylebone; Walter (of the Times) is re-elected for Nottingham; and Mr. Strutt takes the faye of Feargus O’Connor; Roebuck comes in for heffietd; Hudson (railway king) for Sunderland, which returns two members; Sir Robert Peel for Tamworth; Smythe, of duelling notoriety, refused to come forward for Canterbury, though solicited to do s0—he was loudly cheered when seen at the hustings. His adversary, Colonel Romilly, has not heen returned. The elections for the counties, uni- versities, and for Ireland, have still to come. The cry of the liberals is, free trade—cheap bread at all price is their battle cry. The ministe- rialists on the other hund, no longer rally to the ery of protection. That wora has become obsolete, and won't go down. They hoist a religious banner now. ‘Down with the Pope,” ‘ Away with May- nooth,” are their battle cries, and they call upon the voters to select between Derby and Protestant independence, or Lord John Russell and subjection to the Pope. You will see that there isa storm brewing no bigger at arene than a man’s hand, Extension of poliginas iberty will be demanded shortly in con- junction with the extension of the suffrage, and the establishment of civil liberty on a larger basis. We shall have, sooner or later, separation of Church and State. A religious controversy in England is much to be dreaded. The late scenes of riot and bloodshed at Stockport will give you but a slight notion of the ecenes which may be feared should the religious ‘question be started earnestly. Civil war might be the reeult. England is approaching a crisis, and the task of the new Parliament will be an arduous one. The elections, of course, throw all other local events into the back ground. The Queen will shortly start for Ireland and Scotland. The French diect is expected at Cork, on a cruise. We have had an arrival from the Cape of Good Hope, with dates to the 20th May. There is no news of a positive character from the seat of war. General Cathcart had established his headquarters at Fort Beaufort, and was forming camps along the trontier. The conspiracy at Paris has turned out very like a cock-and-a-bull story. The Monitcur gives the following version of the conspiracy:— ‘The day before yesterday, at hatf-past five o'clock P. M., MM. Salestrino and Messe, delegated by the Prefect ‘of Police, proceeded to arrest thirteen individuals taken in the fact of clandestinely fabricating arms. Other ar- reats tock place yesterday. and the accused, to the num- ber of thirty-two. have been placed in the hands of the police. The facts hitherto collected have not the gravit Which certain journals have attached to thom. A tary plot at S€. Omer has also been spoken of. Thi mor is without foundation The trini of the insurgents at Bédarieux has been Dronght to snend, Six accused en coniumace have been condemned to de: Of the twenty-two who were pre- sent, eleven have been condemned to death, five to hard labor for life three to hard labor for a limited period, one ion, and two eequitted. The sittings of the French Senate were closed on Monday, by Prince Jerome Bonaparte, the President Murray, tho Englishman who was sentenced to death by the Papal government, has been given a new comfortable oell, in consequence of the repre- sentations of the English government. r ‘The return of the quarter’srevenue is most satisfac- tory. It shows a real and virtual, ifnot a formal, increase in the quarter’s income, under every head. The only items whieh exhibit even a nominal de- erease are the taxes and the Post Office. The fulling off inthe former is merely apparent, for it arises wholly from the delays which have arisen in the eollection of the new house tax, which was sub- aubstituted last year in place of the window duties. As regards the Post Office, we need not be surprised to find a decrease of ten thousand pounds on the past quarter, a5 compared with the corresponding three months of 1851, when we remember that last year the department in question had the benefit of the Great Exhibition. There are no deficiencies, however—but, on the contrary, large augmenta- tions—under those heads of the return which are the true teats of the condition of the country. We find, for example, the very groat increase of £183,946 on the customs revenue for the quarter— and this, too, in the fase of reduced duties on some articles, and of a diminished importation of others (corn, for example) when compared with the corres ponding perie ust y On the excise, there is an increase of £23,706, which, though Ha parently inconsiderable, novertheless ly tatisfactory when we recoll which contributed te In the stamps, we find an in- i—another striking sign of the growth and activity of the commerce of the coun- try. I ber that there were DO special circ eration during the corresponding three months of last year to produce fthe stamp revenue, and, conse- quently, the pr it Qugmentation atiords decisive evidence of the senod and thriving state of the mer- cantile classes. The property tax shows an increase of £80,110; the crown londs of £20,000; and the “miscellaneous” of £110,943. Adding together ali the items of incroase set forth in the return, und deducting the nominal de ficiencies on the taxes and the Post Office, there re mains a balance of £114,681 in favor of the quarter ended yesterday, + coinpared with the correspond- ing quarter of 1851 But, properly speaking, this increase ht to be regarded not as one of £144,681, but of £586,205, for we are entitled to jnolude in it the sum which is pat down a3 the decrease of the taxes, since it will be collected and brought to account as soon as the machinery of the house duty comes into complete operation. In round numbers, therefore, the rovenue return for the past three months, presents an increase of £700, over the corresponding period of last ear; and for that increase, we are wholly in debted to the free trade policy which Lord and his party have taken office to reverse. It is alike curious and fortunate that the official an- nouncement of the above results should exactly coincide with the commencement of the elections. The free traders should not forget to ask Lord Der- by’s candidates to explain those figures according to the protectionist theory. iba: g As regards the year ending on the 5th inst,, com- pared with the year ended 5th of July, 1851, the returns exhibit an increase of £296,702 on the cus- toms, and a decrease of £13,206 on the excise, of £37,359 on the stamps, and of £1,172,979 on the taxes. On the year, therefore, as well as on the quarter, the customs show @ large augmentation; whilst the deficiencies in the excise, the ene a4 an the taxes are all directly referable to ‘ial changes “which have affected those branches of the revenue -during the periods included in the comparison. Tho property tax exhibite an increase of £10,486 for the Twelve ‘months; the Post Office, of £150,000; the crown lands, of £70,000; and the miscellaneous, of £140,615. The aggregate result of the roturn for the your is a decrease of £467,423; but when we allow for the merely apparent and accidental deficit of £1,172,979 on the taxes—which simply repre- sents uncollected arrgars of house duty—the nomi- nal and pro forma deficiency on the year becomes a real and bona fide increase of £705,456. M. Thiers has been ordered to quit Switzerland, any depression it is believed, at tho instigation of the French go- yernment. . * Arusns, (GRxe0R,) June 23, 1952. The Case of the Rev. Mr. King—The Visit of Com. Stringham and the American Squadron—The King and the Greek Church, §c., §¢. Wo arrived here a week ago, from Constantinople, on our way to Trieste, after a pleasant trip through a portion of Syria and Asia Minor. Wo find Greece, at this season, quite as warm as any portion of the Holy Land was a month ago. Our Consular representative—the Rev. Dr. Jonas King—is expecting the interference of our govern- ment with the King of this thoroughly fanatic country, to compel him to give satisfaction for the ineult perpetratede on him, both as an Amoricam citizen and aso Consul. It is said that this the King will not be unwilling to give, but be happy to congiliate the American government im his favor You are doubtless aware that his y is not of the Gyeek religion, and though at heart a Cusho- lic, is nevertheless a liberal man, and has no sym- y for the bigoted party of Greeks who refuse aforeigner, and an American citizen, the right of Divine worship in his own house. The Aroopegot, or Supreme Court, which tried and condemned Dr. King, was urged on to the act by a eet of men, at the head of which are Chris- tophoulous and Stourdza, both belonging to the Russian party in politics, and who are endeavoring under the darkest shadow the far-famed discoveries of Hersohell in the moon, published » fow years ago by a Now York paper. We have been upoa the brink of a now abyss—on the evo of witnessing another revolution. A plot had been formed by a gang of mon and women te make cannons with gas pipes, in order to form barricades, and return the attacks of the army. Those conspirators of a now kind had assombied in an old house ia the Rue de la Reine Blanche, and when the police had in- vaded the premises, they were all, men and womon, busily engaged in covoring these cast iron pipes with oloth aud tar, in order to make them irre- sistible to explosion. Bullets and cannon balls of al kinds were in readiness to begin the batile and émeute; but no powder was yet prepared to load these cannons of a “patriotic” invention. As matter of course, Ledru Rollin, Mazziui, Louis Blanc, and other leaders of tho red republican party, now exiles in London, were tho chiof in- spirators of that now levée de bouctiers of the dema- gogues, The first impression made upou tho publio by the extraordinary article of Za Patric waa an astonishment impossible to describe; but it had no influence on the stocks, and this caused the most cunning people to doubt the veracity ef this mo- mentous plot. On the next day, the Moniiour was silent, and the Consttiutionnel, mentioning thé t6 carry out the Leal oe} of the Emperor of Russia, viz., to prevent the existence of any other sect in Greece than that of the besotted, bigotted, and blasphemous Greek Churoh—a chi which has Dated sayt into itt bees Fie reer 4 ancient mythology, withgut an Holy Virgin a succeeded ta the beaut and chagte Venus, and a whole fraternity of inferior gods and goddesses are degraded into modern St. Nioolos, Agia, Sophias, &c., which constitute the worship of the peopie once so renowned for the elegance of fier mystic faith and the poetical imaginings of oir myths, The visit of Commodore Stringham, with the Cumberland, the San Jacinto, and the Indepen- dence, will break in upon the Greeks somewhat un pleasantly.

Having had the good fortune to meet with your invaluable paper—the New York HERALD—in most of the towns of Germany through which, during the last two months, I have been making a tournée, it seems to me as possible that I might be able to make some desirable additions to the valuable and various contents of your journal. start to-morrow for Paris, where I usually reside, I shall there, with your permission, resume the task on which I venture to commence. Proposing to You are aware that the great sovereigns of Northern Europe have met in various cities of Ger- many, in the course of the past month. Up to the present moment the object of those reunions has not transpired; conjecture that their views are to control their own respective subjects, and to be prepared to make head against France, if occasion arise. Of this latter contingency no reasonable ground exists. has no present project for augmentin, but it requires little sagacity to France her terri- tory; she is almost exclusively occupied with her own internal affairs, and which, I may venture to say thus early, are becoming every day more satis. factory. On that subject, however, I shall speak furtber, in a letter which 1 propose writing on my arrival in Paris. Among other instances of the favors showered in the United States on unfortunate and distinguished exiles, those of which Kossuth has especially oeen the object, have resounded through Germany Girgey—bis once colleague in asserting the inde- nendence of Hungary--bas, ina work lately pub- fished, attributed to Kossuth, whom he calls “a theatrical hero,” the common misfortunes of their country; but, as he unworthily mentions the name of Dembinski, this illustrious general is, in his turn, about to publish, in Europe and the United States, a work by which he intends to prove that, had it not been for “‘ the vanity of the one, and the treach- ery of the other.” the Austrian army would have been defeated, though backed by the legions of Russh. Before taking leave of this country, I must not omit mentioning the admiration of the entire free Germans, for the noble hospitality granted by the “American nation to their compatriots in exile, and the gratitude of all for tne generous protection and asylum afforded to the numerous emigrants who have sought, in a more free and fertile land, a hd ductive of labor.

On my arrival in Paris, I find the population much occupied with pleasure, and very little with politics. The recent discovery of a conspiracy has scarcely at- tracted the attention of the public. ment isin no respect alarmed by it; that several of the persons compro: The govern- but, finding d are mex to whom mercy for previous political offences had beon extended, it has determined to enforce rigorously the sentences pronouncd upon other of their asso- ciates. Political men are now seriously impressed by the commencement of an opposition in the Legislative Assembly, on the discussion of the budget. They ask, with anxiety, what would be the consequence if any part of our political mechanism should act imperfectly, and thereby impede the operation of the rest, which effect may be easily produced by the circle in which the new constitution d the legislative body, where some mem- tricted, would be ny to give proof of greater life and independence? jor the external relations of this country, I am mmed in my previously expressed opiniou—that there is no present cause of misunderstanding with other governments, Far from thinking of conquests, France knows that her prosperity depends upon t! developement of her agricuiture, commerce, and in- dustry, which alone cau be promoted by peace and tranquillity. e expects from the man to whom she has confided her destinies, that he will close the era of war and open that of progress and con- ciliation Whilst England is disgraced by soi-disant reli- giots feuds, and even with disorders more revolting than those of 1780, a slight tendency to religious discussion has become apparent in France. You will, no doubt, have been surprised on soeing the columns of some Paris journals filled with commu- nications emanating from several of the French bishops, on the subject of classical literature, which has hitherto entered into tho oo of education laid down for youth. Some of those prelates object to the works of Horace, Virgil, Cicero, &c., as im- compatible with Christianity; whilst others, more liberal, are favorable to the continuance of that branch of study. In terminating my letter, I shall observe that the accounts received from the provinces represent the crops much less injured than we were led to expect from the heavy and continued rains; so that our demands upon you will probably not be so great as was calculated upon; but, in our need, if it arrive, we shall always reckon be the bountiful produc- tions and sympathies of America.

The journal La Patric has, at last, conoocted the funniest political humbug whieh has ever been | made up by a journalists» humbug which leaves arrost of some individuals, could not refrain from saying that their contemporary had, in their opinion, much exaggerated the importance of this affair. Alas! this was but the first kick, and on Sunday morning the Moniteur came off with a short but neat and well written article, in which the would-bo lot of La Patric was almost considered as a canard. is was the utmost blow ever given by a friend to one of his friends, and this wound will bleed for a long time to come, in the ribs of Mr. Delamarre, or rather of Mr. Schiller, his chief reporter, who thought he had discovered /a pieauanid. As amat- ter of course, this affair has created much fun in all the political circles, and the conspiracy of La Patrie is now called: La consptration des tuyaux ! (| pipe rae This epithet will live in the sonal of Louis Napoleon’s Presidency for the year Something which is still more important, is the sentence which has just been delivered by the mili- tary court of Montpelier, against the rioters of Bédarieux, who, it will be remembered, were the most violent socialists during the provincial insur- rection of 1851, in December last. The judges have sentenced seventeen of the guilty men to death. Six among them had fled, and were only sen- tenoed by contumacy; but eleven will be be- headed in the public square of Bédarieux. Five other men among the rioters have been sentenced to the galleys for life; four to deportation and imprisonment in a fort, for exile, and of twenty-nine people who were guilty of the insurrection against the government, only two have been set free. Itis said that very likely Louis Napoleon's clemency willbe bestowed on many of those who are sentenced to death. Nevertheless, tho news of this terrible condemnation has made a deep impression among the political circles, and it has astonished those who had even nothing to do with tho affair. Before closing my mentioning of the acts of seve- rity of Louis Napoleon’s government, 1 will speak ofthe unexpected suspension of the journal Le Cor- saire, which publication has been stopped for two months. No cause whatever, but the sentence in- flicted upon the Paper on the 24th of May last, and the personal attack on certain friends of the Elyséo, has been the cause of that violent blow given tothe press in general by thus injuring the proprietor of Le Corsair. The entire corps of reporters of that journal have addressed a letter to their contempo- raries of the press, which has been published, and announces its re-appearance at the end of the two months. Galignani’s Messenger has not been excepted from the coersive and restraining measures of the direc- tion of the press. It appears that several articles not being signed, the Minister of Police has “bestowed” his avertissement on Mr. Bowes and friends. Then Mr. Galignani beware! The correspondent of the Gazette de Cologne, a gentleman, had,’on Monday last, his apartment invaded by a Commissaire de Police, and all his pa- pers were searched, under the pretext that he was an agent of the Mazzinian corps of London, an emissary and propagator of the socialist opinion. This was not proved, for there was no document which could be considered as compromising him ; therefore he was left at liberty, It has been said that the journal Le Mode, which had for cover (it is a pamphlet) a green sheet of paper upon which are printed the coat of arms of the Bourbon family, had received an oi wo have this emblem erased. This has been denied; and [ have seen the last number of that review, published on the 5th instant, which is still printed with the four-de-lis. The Senate was closed on Monday last, and will TObAbLY, OnIy be re-vpemed tho sAINe Une en the egislative Corps, at the end of January, 1953 Thus the rumor by which it had been propagated, that the Senate was deliberating on a project of the Senatus-Consulte relative to the bigh court of jus tice and organization of colonies, was erroneeas. The Council of State will be closed on the 15th of August, and its vacation will last from that epoch to the 15th of October. The first act made by the Council of State will be to Prepare the project of budget for 1854, with the help of the ministers. It is said that the intention of Louis Napoleon is to obtain from the Senate a law by which the mem- bers of the House would not be allowed to speuk freely and give their opinions either for or against (against, particularly) the wishes of the govern- ment. Whenever a project oflaw would be sub- mitted to the Legislative Corps, there would be named three reporters, who would form an opinion upon it, make a written consultation, and submit it tothe vote of the House. Thus, the discussions and rebukes which have lately taken place during the de- bates reiative to the budget, would no more occur, In order to have these measures of repression patiently accepted by the Assembly, it has been cirected that the salaries of the members of the House should be reinstalled as previously. The sum of money allowed to each of them is not yet decided, but it will be as considerable, if not more than during the three years which have preceded thecoup d’éat. Notwithstanding this enticement, it is whispered that if such @ resolution is taken, more than the third part of the House will send in its resignation. ; According to rome reports, M. Billault, the pre- sent Speaker of the House, will be replaced by M. Baroche, the actual Vice President of the Senate, who, in order to be able to be thus named, would try to be elected in one of the departments, which has no representative in the Legislative corps. Louis Napoleon is now completely settled at St. Cloud, for the summer on. It appears that his health bas somewhat altered, by the fatigues and excess of werk incident to his position. It is some- what feared that the doctors will not allow him to accomplish his journey to the south of France. I believe this report is exaggerated, for Louis Napo- leon looks well, and does not seem to be crushed down. In the meantime he is, twice a week, pre- siding in his Council of Ministers and giving din- ners to his friends. His service in the kitehen is composed of twenty-four men, and 650 pounds of meat are daily taken for his house. This detail explains more than a full report of all the expen- ditures of his house. Much talk is entertained here about the train de maison of Louis Napoleon, which makes people sup- the empire is decidedly approaching. ‘The | ities which were used during the time of the speror Napoleon, will be restored; and Count Bae- cigebi, de Bevitle, Ney, and others, will be at the head of ‘the new maison, Thus we shall have the gentleman charged to introduce the ambassadors, the Great Hunter, the Great Chamberlain, &c , &c. As for ibe emp! 1 it be proclaimed on the 15th of next month, during the distribution of the eagies to the Nations! Guard? That is the question, without a decisive answer, : Before leaving the Elysée for St. Cloud, Louis Napoleon, accompanied by his numerous ctaft, went to the Tuileries, where the officers of the regiment of the line, recently arrived to be garrisoned in Paris, were presented to him. He delivered a short speech to them, in which he alluded to his power over the army, and the right he had to command tho troops. T have been told that very likely the President would make ort excursion to Havre, to visit the ey) of war Reine Hortense, amer placed by the nation at his orders. This splendid ship is adorned with an eagle holding the thun- der in his talons at her stern, and of another bird of the same species spreading his wings at her prow. Very likely this is considered as an emblem of the President’s career. Among the legitimists, much talk is entertained relative to the projected publication of the letters | throwing the true light upon the death of the Duke of Bourbon, which were found at the Ministry of the Interior during the revolution of 1848, by a man called Villenue. It is said that the Count of Chambord is friends who have contributed a good deal to have this infamy rendored public. The fusion of the two branches is still on the tapis, but it is doubted whether the Dutchess of Orleans, who ill opposed to it, will ever give her consent. But, after all, what does all thismean?

In Switzerland, the agitation relative te tho change of constitution is not yet settled, and this state of convulsioa will uo doubt remain thus for a time to come. A very curious fact hag taken place in that coun- try, relative to M. Thiers, who was ordered \to leave the country, or to go and remain in a place which would be pointed out wo him. Asa matter ef course, M. Thiers has refused, and he left Switzer- land, a very ivbospitablo land, fur Piedmont. M. ‘Thiers must not be considered asa refugee, but as an exile, which is quite different. / In Piedmont, . Eugene Sue, who had undertaken to publish in ove of the newspapers of that country, Ja Patriote Savoisicn, a aovel entitled Rosine La Fileuse, a socialist romance, which was still worse than anything ever bcepesy by the same author, has been obliged, under threats of expulsion, to take back his manuscript, and to stop its publication. The Empress of Russia left Shlengbadt on tho 29th ult., and arrived at Coblentz on the Ist of Thence she proceeded to Cologne, where was received with the greatest courtesy and honor. The King of Prussia took her in his carriage, and lavished upon her g tention. Wurtemberg, Austria, and Bavaria have mado particular arrangements to have for the future their consulates m foreign lands administered by the same consul in each city. This is considerod by the press as a direct opposition to Prussia and the ZolWverein. The journey ot the Emperor of Austria throngs Hungary is stilla daily triumphal mareh, and ho receives, on his passage, all the enthusiastic honors ever bestowed on any prince. You niay rely upon the reports of the newspapers as being perfectly true and correct, and wide of exaggeration. I have seen two American gentlemen, just arrived from Pesth and Comorn, who witnessed the entry of Frangois II. in those cities, and were highly aston- ished at what they heard and beheld. Who will now believe the foolish diatribe of M. Kossuth? I am assured, from what I have heard from correct sources, that the late war of Hungary-was only caused by the agitators who, by ambitious motives, had tried all in their power te excite the people by uae falsehgods. M. de Lavalette, who was in Paris for the last two months, returns to Constantinople with the title of ambassador, and leaves to-day for the capital of Turkey. He bas positive orders from Louis Napo- leon to settle the question of the Holy Land, de fas aut nefas, despite Russia and Greece, and I now him diplomat enough to be sure that he will preserve his reputation of a prudent man. Notwithstanding the rumor I have mentioned in the course of this letter, I will add, before closing my letter, that Louis Napoleon has decided he would be present at the inauguration of the railwa of Strasburg, which will take place on the 13t inst. He will leave Paris on the 17th, and will re- turn here on the 20th. The eye of Rochefort are now totally empticd of galériens. The convicts have been all sent to Cayenne, where they will be kept prisoners, as they were in France. The city of Rochefort, in‘testimony of the contentment of its inhabitants of being freed from the presence of the galley slaves, is about to give a grand festival. Much talk is here entertained about the expected amuesty, which, according to reports, would take lace on the 18th of August next. M. Thiers and Jeneral Leflé are said to be among those who will be relieved from exile. The names of Generals Changarnier and Lamoniciere are also whispered, but 1 cannot believe it. B.H. R. GOSSIP OF PARIS. Pans, July 8, 1 The Weather—The Intense Heat—Ludicrous Scenes — Grand Féte— Misfortune to an American Gen- oman—The Embellishment of the Tuileries— The Theatres—Americans in Paris. Tho dreaded heat nus wutvea, without wuy tow sition, and, at the present hour I am writing to you, like a sans cvlotte, on account not particularly of wy political opinion, but of the state of the cmperature. It is three o’clock, and, in the shade, in my apartment, my thermometer marks thirty-four degrees Reaumur. Everybody is sick, and it is indeed necessary to have plenty of courage to un- dertake to write any sort of correspondence. I was out yesterday, by two o'clock, on the Boulevard of the Italians, and was nearly on the eve of return- ing heme without the soles of my boots. I met on my way the bitumen with which the boulevard is paved, and my boots stuck into it. Fortunately, I was rescued by a gentleman who gave me his hand, | and helped me with his very strong arms. A poor lady, who had just passed on the same road, had her two gaiters stuck into the asphalt, and was not able to leave without leaving them on the spot. As a matter of course, the bathing establishments of the Seine, and others, are filled by people of all classes. The only fée worth being mentioned is that which took place at Montmartre, a suburb of Paris, during the last four days, and which attracted a large assembly of people. All the mountebanks, | clowns, circus riders, showmen, and humbugs of the departments had congregated there; tho fair on the public square was furnished with all the goods of the cheap kind, and the buall-room filled from seven o'clock at night till two in the morning. Whilst speaking of festivals, | cannot omit men- tioning the rumors which are spread relative to the | grand distribution of the eagles, which is to be made on the 15th of next month, to the National Guard. Many projects, ee which is a fleet of balloons, a grand masquerade like that of Lille, a naval bat- tle on the Seine, &c., had been proposed. But it appears that the intention of Louis Napoleon is to imitate the festival which was given on the day of Napoleon’s coronation as Emperor. It will be, per- haps, remembered by my readers, that on that oc- | casion the passage of Mount St. Bernard was repre- sented on the heights of Chaillot. Tho nephew of the Emperor has thought that the copy of this mo- morable event, embellished and greatly augmented, | would create an immense sensation, and attract many people to Paris. Accordingly, orders have been given to the regulators of the festivals of Paris, and a mammoth passage of the Mount St. Bernard will be performed, by means of scenery and soldiers. It will be, no doubt, a magnificent affair, For the evening, fire- works will be burnt, which will thow the | colossal statue of the Emperor Napoleon on horse- | lock, upon which @ mammoth eagle will display his wings. Notwithstanding the rain, which a few weeks ago yourcd down in torrents, the crops of all kinds have not been destroyed in France; and fromthe accounts | and reports which have reached here, it is to be be- lieved that the crops of grain, oats, hemp, colza, and other articles, including hay, will be superior than isexpected. The grain crop is said to be im- menge, and the market has fallen in consequence of the assurance given that the grain would be plen- tiful. As for the wine crops, they are considered as altogether lost. Our fish market has been supplied for the last five days with a large number of tunaise, weighing from pha to pi} pounds, which had been captured in the bay of Marseilles. It appears that the waters were filled with these fish, which had escaped the huge nets of the Spanish fishermen. n American gentleman, whose name I will not mention, went the other day to the Bunk of France to receive the money on a check which amounted to $19,000. The silky little papers were given to the bearer, who left the place in a hurry, and jumped | into @ carriage. An hour after the son of the tree land was returning to the bank in search of his bun- dle of papers, which was migsing from his pocket. Alas, a gang of young chaps who were playing on the pet had torn the halt of it into pieces, to make B paper boats, which were running along the ere in the dirty liquid of the street.

It is foarod that the intention, or rather the orders, of Louix Napoleon, of having a barrack of roc § in tho place where was formerly the orangerie of the pa- laco, Will be the cause of the removing of the famed gallery of paintivgs contained in the building whioh goes from (be Tuileries to the Louvro. Many ro- quests have been direoted to the Prince President to beg of him not to have this project executed. It is to be hoped that he will liatea to the voicos of the artiste of Paris. Mme. Georges, the colelrated actrers, who was, in her young daye, the favorite of the Emperor | Konaparte, was adinitted, a fow days ago, into the presence of Louis Napoleon, and received by hia with much courtesy. It is said that he made her | some very valuable presents, and granted ner the | title of « peneion of 5,000 francs a year. The theatrical news may be related in afew words: | —At the Grand Opera, Gaymard, the excellent tevor, who bas tal the part of Roger, inthe opera of ‘Lo Juif Errant,” sings it with muoh talent, and Mme Tedesco is nightly received with the greatest applause. Atthe Vaudeville Thoutre we have had the play borrowed from Jules Janin’s novel, “1es Beautée Champétres,” by Measrs. Leon Guillard and Durantin, which proved very successful. At the same theatre, » farce, or rathor rleaque his new son-ln-law, on tho ly of M. Vonsard, ** Ulysse, titled “Le Compagnou d'Ulysse,” by M. was received with bursts of laughter. At the Va- rieties Theatre M. Carpin, the able managor, has engaged the Hungarien troupe of orchestraplayers, who have oreated so much exeitement in London, and they are nightly attracting all the dilettanti of Paris. ‘In fact, they play with a brio which could not be equalled by any com of executants. At the Moutanaier Theatre a farce in two acta, by Meaers. Octave Fedeillct and Paul Bocage, called “York, Nom d’un Chien,” has been received with great approbation by tho public. Tho oxoellont actor, Ravel, has a capital part, and he displays in it the greatest talent. Mie. Caroline Loyo, the much appreciated rider, who wet with suoh success in the United States, made her appearance, a few days ago, at the Hippodrome, and was reoeived in @ triumphant style. Never dida circus rider exeoute the haute éccle in a better and more dignified as well as ekilful manner. She is engaged there for the whole season. 1 have had the pleasure of receiving a visit from Signori Benedetti and Sanquirico, who are now in Paris for a short time. They are in good spirita; as well as Signor Truffi- Benedetti, who is as pretty as ever, and who epeaks in the highest terms not only of the reception she has always met in the United States, but also of the patronage she has received from the New York Hxexavp, on all occas sions and circumstances.

At the former the attendance was very large, nearly one hundred and seventy chairs being occupied by representatives of the various States of the Union. The large salon of the cele- brated Brunswick Hotel was decorated with the flags of England and America, entwgned with flowers, while about the apartment were placed beautiful devices of national interest.

After the cloth was removed, speeches were mado hy the American Minister, Col. Bigelow Lawrence, Mr. Peabody, Rev. Dr. Wainwright, Judge Kelley of Philadelphia, Josiah Randall, Esq., and others. The usual patriotic toasts were drunk with great enthu- fiasm, and the eompany separated about midnight, delighted with the patriotic character of the pro- ceedings, and the bountiful hospitality of their ex- cellent host, Mr. George Peabody. At Vauxhall a number of es of fireworks were prepared in honor of the day, by Mr. Wardwoil, the | proprietor of the grounds, and these were displayed about one o’clock A. M., in the presence of at least ten thousand persons. The selection was dazlingly gorgeous, and it is estimated cost $2,000. Atter this zeous pyrotechnic effert, a joint convention of American aud English gentlemen assembled in the “golden alcove” of the gardens, by invitation of Mr. Wardwil}, where scenes of joyous festivity were cnacted until the crimson shadows announced the | approach of morning. Speeches were delivered by Mr. Horace Mayhew, one of the editors of Punch; ile. 3 Barnett, author of the ‘Serious Family; Mr. Wainwright, and Mr. Silsbee Bands wore stationed at intervals in the gardens, form the national melodies of the ‘land of 3” while colored lights, flickering with co- ish motion, formed the names of our great en, on frameworks erected for the purpose. purth of July has not been celebrated in England with so much earnestness and enthusiasm | Plerce, Inn we 24 | (Prom La Patric, of Paris, Ju The result of the preparatory election of the can- didate for the Presiaency of the United States, by the Democratic Convention of Baltimore, has a sig: nificatiop, to the importance of which we ought to | direct attention, and on which we should congratu- late ourselves in the point of view of the relations of the Amerioan people with European nations. ‘The mot striking fact of that convention is the aban- donment of General Case, who, till the day of the last vote, appeared to be the most popular candidate of the democratic party. That general represents, by his well-known opinions, the principle of the intervention of the United States in the interior policy of other nations, the propagandism of demo- cracy in foreign countries, per fas ct nefas. He has, more than ence, in Congress and fk ee meetings, proclaimed the necessity for the American republic to piace itself as an active protectress of democracy throughout the world, without recoiling from the consequences of such arile. It is not to be attri- buted vo the politicians of that school that the United States are not engaged in a war of princi with severai powers ot Europe, and it is to ti initiative that are due the manifvstations of which M. Koseuth and other Kusopean revolutionists had been the object in the United States. Very weil! We see the candidacy of General Cass completely lost, in spite of the bes, ye efforts of his friends to procure its triumph. In a series of forty-nine ballots, his name—that name which seemed bound to carry all the votes--can scarcely unite ove hundred and thirty voicos—that is to say, fifteen less than an absolute majority, and sixty less majority for the adoption of the candidate of the party.

The Baltimore Nominations tn England. {From the London Cbronicie, July 8 | Although the terms of the contest for the A meri- can Presidency have not been settled precisely aa we anticipated, the choice of the rival conventions has not discredited the aeouracy of our recent ob- ions on the general drift of ‘Transetlanwde . We pointed attention to the marked in- clination of both tho great parties in the United States to regard more obscurity as the mest valuable of all qualifications in a Presidential candidate. Tho impression of the disadvantage under which a party labors when it selects as its representative a person of known antecedents and fixed politioal position, operated so atrongly om the Democratic Convention 8 to set aside ovea the least notorious of the claimants on its suffrage. Mr. Douglas was certainly very far from being @ well known politician, and he would havo oom- mandod, by the mere influence of his Western birth, almoet the entire support of the States on the Mis- sissippi. Yet all these recommendations wore aot deemed an adequato set-off against the immense advantages which would be gained by putting fer- ward a completely virgin reputation. Accordingly, the experiment which eight years ago met with so signal a success in the case of Mr. Polk, has been literally copied by the solection ef General Pierce—a gentleman almost onveny strange to the grand conflicts of the politi: arena, but much prized and trusted by his private friends. The vast importance of this decision of the democrats, scems to have been at once acknow- ledged in the Whig Sethi: eee ae afew days after its opponents had dispersed. It Speers that they would. have itated the democi precedent, if a repre equally ros; able and equally uns ith Mr. Pierce, had Failing this expedient, been di ble have atten itoneutralize an unde by nominat .g the only ono of their candidates whe appeals to (uv grosser prajudices of the populace. It was probably not without compunction that the most famous of the older American statesmen, and the most successful of tho younger school, were postponed by the whigsto a stolid soldier. Unfer- tunately, however, thisis but one instance, added to many previous ones, of an indefensible sacrifice of conviction and principle on the part of the Ame- rican conservatives. Precisely the same laxity of opinion was displayed some years ago in abandonment of free trade for protection; and we do not hesitate to predict that their latest conces- sion to a momentary expediency will prove as ut- terly fruitless as the earlier. Tho comparatively long exclusion of the demo- crats from office has given them a powerful motive tohide in the back ground tbe divisions in their ranks which have been engendered by that burnii free soil controversy which is still destined to the Union; nor is there any doubt that, provided @ compromise can be effected between the two sections batons wey ELE Mey Aleta dy okewy Artem tam comparably the strongest of American partica. What, ed, may be the common bend of opinion which reunites the democrats into a political com federacy, is a point not easily settled. Probably, a traditional antipathy to the cqually traditional ex- clusivism attributed to the whigs inay be asau to constitute the main foundation of the democratic creed. We are not aware that there ever existed a political party which numbered among its distinctive characteristics so few items of settled policy. With the exception of the eed question of free trade— which possesses, by the way, fur more restricted interest in the eyes of the Americans than it does with us is difficult to cite a single grand article of American democratic faith. A party which is thus united by personal attachments and dislikes, much more than by any fixed persuasion, is plainl capable of being rallied round a etc rena’ f it be but # name, and nothing more--with a | facility quite foreign to the tactics of factions in older countries. The benefit of this pecu- liarity has now been successively enjoyed by Mr. Polk ard Mr. Pierce. It does not, however, fol- low that the previous obscurity of a democratic President entails on him the necessity of becoming the mere tool of his party. On thecontrary, the pau- city of its strong convictions, and the vaguenees of its creed, render the democratic confederacy pe- culiarly malleable under the hand of its tempo leader. Over and ove: ain it has been indu to lend the whole of the vast mass of opinion which it includes to the vericst crotchets of its elected President. At the bidding of Gen. Jackson it em- barked, with immense enthusiasm, in the strange crusade of hard cash against paper currency. Mr. Polk had but little trouble in enlisting its warmest. sympathy on the side of his reckless assertiona of 3 nefarious raid It rests with Mr. Pierce to give the on M newest bius to the direction of its policy. There can be no question as to the magnitude of the power which he w we are glad to beliove that native sa ud a forbearing temper are likely to produce a less destructive exercise of it tham might be looked for after the performances of hia paity’s former favorites. It is lamentable that, f a few more chances of success have been tempted into a choi nfinitely lowe felicitous than that of the den s. As respects the personal qualifications of General Scott, even his tellow-counurymen know little more of hia than can be gathered from the share which he took in some of the most dashing, though not the most arduous, of the Mexican victories. They seem to have half forgotten, though we in England have not, the silly and unprincipled letter which he Oe creh on the subject of ees Canada to the Jnited States. The morality of democratic poli- tics would perhaps regard the fugitive mani- festo in question as a venial offence; but, according to the more rigid canons of the whigs, it surely ought to operate against their entrusti ite author with the helm of the Union, u whigs | imagine, however, that, in the event of Generak Scott's election, America would have more to dread from his deficiency of intellectual power tham from his want of priveiple. The Goneral’s parts are confeseedly anything but brilliant. Among the foremost men of the United States, he is the onl, one whose published declarations strike us a3 uni- formly meriting the epithet ‘*muddle-headed.” And, after all, the disgrace anddanger of preferring such a person to Webster and Fillmore have probae bly been encountered for nothing; for Gen. Scott does not seem a whit <urer of his election than oither of his competitore. His partizans in the Baltimore Convention evidently urged him forward, partly on the ground of his acceptability tothe milita: tastes. ofthe people, and partly because he has displayed faint and unavowed leaning towards the tree soil policy, which the democrats have for the time desert- ed. Neither of these recommendations, however, ao- cording to the best accounts, is of sufficient weight to force him into the Presidency. The war.fever sensibly abated, and the Kossuth agitation, which seems at first sight to prove its continuance, points ratber to diplomatic interference in Euro poli- tics than to farther aggression on neighboring American powers. General Scott may command a few votes through the doubt which exists as to his hearty acceptance of Mr. Webster's compromise on the slave question; but the compromise is, never~ theless, on the whole, popular. The great mass of those who shout and rict against the Fugitive Slave law will probably reserve their votes for w special abolitionist candidate: and, consequently, the General will searcely obtain any advantages ta counterbalance that loss of the whole South which will be entailed by his want of sincerity on the question which chiefly interests the planters.
