The political news from Groat Britain, by this g@teamer, is of no account, neither had any matter | via Bourges, Nevere, ‘of special interest transpired to occupy public at- | tention since the sailing of the previous steamer. Amongst the fresh arrivals of gold from Aus- Walia, are recorded the Medway, from Port Philip, with 65,051 ounces, valued at £260,000, and the Ganges, with 17,852 ounces, valued at £71,400. The London Times, of the 2th ult., contains an article censuring Mr. Abbott Lawrence for his letier te the Natronal Intelligencer, in which tho expres- sion inferring a monopoly of the Lobos Islands be- tween Peru ard Great Britain is used. The article also embodies rome sevore strictures upon the Jewet! expedition to these islands, and Mr. Webster's action thereon, and winds up by stating that in all probability the expedition will fuil, aud the vessels be captured; but that in the event of its success, tho partics engaged in itcan only be considered asa west of pirates, pending the establishment of a eatis- fmotery title to the islands by this government. The English Channel Squadron, under rear Admi- | zeal Corry, consisting of the Prince Regent, of 90 guns, Rodney 90, and Leander 50, arrived at Queens- gown, on the 26th ult., from Lisvon. The body of the late Duke of Welliagton still re- | mains at Walmer Castle. It was enolosed in an euter coffin of the finest mahogany, covered by a pall; the whole surmounted by fanereal plumes. ‘The family and household had left the Castle, and ‘the illustrious dead reposed in solitary state, under the protection of a guard of honor from his own vegiment—the Rifle Brigade. By the appended paragraph, extracted from the Eastern Counties Gazette, it will be seen that a line of Britich screw steamera is to be established Detween Hull and this port:— ‘We believe that we may venture to assert that the Hull @ompeny for carrying out the New York trade, is neariy emablirped Since our last notice. we understand that a meeting of some gentiemen favorable to the scheme kas deen beld, and offers of assistance in the formation of ta company freely made It is thonght most desirable t tay tbe trade at first on a moderate rcale und we believe that two rcrew ships of 1.40 tons each will be fund rvfficlent.

The general impression was, that the wheat ezops, on the whole, would be under the average in qvastity, whilst the quality in most instanoes is in- ferior. At Mark Lane, on the 27th ultimo, now wheat cold but slowly at the previous week’s prices, while old wheat waa firm at rather higher terms. Foreign wheat was more enquired for, and buyers ‘were compelled to pay full prices, but business was net extersive. English malting barley was in re- qoest. Oats rather higher. Old beans sold freely Peas lower. Flour without variation for both Eng- Mish ond forsign. Floating cargoes of Mediterranean wheat and Indian corn in fair demand. The English monsy market showed a slight ten- deney to tightness, owing to an increasing domand for money. Public securitics were rather flat. Pe- ravian bonds depressed. {n the produce markets, rice had been extensively purchased on Amorican account. Tallow was firm At Manchester, bosiness was rather lessective. Ia Birwivgham, orders from this side were said to be comparatively mnail, but there was a good demand from the Eustern markets, aod from Australia. The high price of copper ceused much uncertainty in all manafactures oounected with that metal. The iron trade wae much excited, and the prices firm. Some manufacturers advocated another rise of 203 per ton, in addition to the advauce of 20a on Ist Oc tober. In the woollen districts the home and fo- reign demand was favorable.

The Débats regrete that these exhibitious ebould be simultencous, as this circumstance must, it thinks, be injurious to both; and it is, besides, of opinion that neither of them is absolutely necessary, so soon after the Groat Hxhi- bition of don. it is not to be suppowd, says tho Diébats, that in 20 short a period, industry can have made euch progress as to render other public exbi- | bitious necessary.

Never before, although I have lived in Lyons ten years, have I seen it so much crowded with people. Its streets are narrow, and its promenade appears emall and insignificant, when compared with other French cities; but the name of Napoleon and the expected arrival of the nephew of the great Emperor in the metropolis ef the Rhone Depart- ment, has been sufficient to give to Lyons another arpect. On the roofs of the public buildings the French flog is hoisted; every window of the houses on the principal thoroughfares is covered with car- pets, gerlands of flowers, and mottoes, of all sorts; and people, in the most variegated costumes, from Brette, Saone et Loire, and even from Switzerland, throng the city. The Lyons people, and the in- habitants of the neighboring counties, are very on- | thusiastic in their domonstrations for Louis Napo- leon. No doubt you will have oxtracted from the French government journals which reach you by this mail a)l the items relative to the triumphal march of the Prince President from Paris to Lyons, | Moulin, Rouen, and St. Ecienne, for pubjication in your journal; but I do not apprehend they will convey the information to you that at Bourges, notwithstanding all the exer- tions made by the authorities of the government to raise the public enthusiasm, the higher classes did | not join in the public congratulations. Theso | people remained at home, and viewed the | President from their windows. During the | nights of the Mth and 15th inst, a number of printed bills were posted im various quarters of | the town, with a view to excite the population to a | general outbyeal’; but the bills having been most- jy destroyed by the police agents, the object of the | noters Was frustrated. However, four or the dis- | contented went among the crowd and endeavored to incite the people to an insurrection. This at- tempt proved futile, for they were all acrested, with many olhers, who were supposed to be in the plot, If ther@were any intention to form a conspiracy at | Nevere, Moulin and Rouen, the prompt capsure of the conspirators defeated it. The red repnoli- | cans of the Croix, Reusse and St. Clair, have bees invariably opposed to the President; but they | did not think it weil to jeopardise their liberty, and 1 must say, as a faitbtui historian, that their con- duct was most peaceable and quiet. I have met | many people among the crowd who evinced their dissatisfactuon by a shrug of the shoulder; but fur- ther than this ubey dared not go According to the programme of the féte, Louis Na- poleon arrived at baif-past two o’clock at the Mula- tiere, which is a long bridge, at which point the rivers Rbone and Saone jum at the southern part of Lyons. | Through the towus of G.ron,/st. Chamund, ana Rive de Gier, he was hailed by the entire population, | and when the engine arrived at the terminus of the railway be alighted under a magnificent triumphal arch, on the top of which, in gigantic letters, could be read the device Ave Cesar Imperator. The cor- , poration of the city, including the mayor, the pre- | fect, the municipal council, were in readiness to re- ceive bim, which they did with acolamations Louis Napoleou immediately mounted his horse, | on steppwg irom the curs, and proceeded to the apurtments of the prefecture, where he re- ceived the corporation and many others. After this ceremony was covciuded, he proceeded in a carriage to the Archiepiscopal palace, accowpavied by an | immense crowd. sboutipg most enthusiastically Vive | Yemperor. On his arrival there the regatia took place, which was a most gorgeous spectacle. Toe banks of the river were crowded with upwards of 200,000 people, and the etream bore on its surtace | innumerable boats, filled up with gaudy stream- ers aud bavners. The regatts was very brilliant, and after its conclusion he returned to the prefec- ture, where be entertained two huudred guests with & maguificent banquet, at which the Archbishop of | Lyons, Count de lu Marmora, and other distinguwh- ea guests, were preeent It is well known that the eopie of Lyons are great gourmands, and in this instance they did not terego their partiality for good living, for the dinner was the ne plus wera ot the astropomic art. At half past eight bonfires were ighted, aud fireworks let off on the surrounding mountains. Afier this the President went to tue ball given to him by the city authorities, ia the grand theatre, which was decorated most sumptously for the occasion. When he entered, the snouts of Vive l'Empereur shook the building to its foundation. The President opened the ball with Made Bret, a charming young lady, the daughter of the Prefect, and Jefy at hatt past eleven. On Monday morning, Louis Napoleon ueld review of the troops in this quarter, smounting to twenty-geven thousand men, which was brillhaot affair. Next came the in- auguration of the statue of the Emperor aad many speeches were made, of which, no doubs, you have full reports in the English and French journats The foilowing passage in the Prosident’s speech excited much enthusiasm among the peop! the mod: st litle of President was able to fasilitace the mission which hus been entrusted to my care, aud in the carrying out of which I have not retrograded, I would not, to gratify any prirate interest of my own, change that title for that ot Emperor.” These words have beea interpreted several ways; but they only show that whon Louis Napoleon believes the moment has arrived for the | Qrsumption of the imperial title, he will be read) ang willing to accept it. Onthe conclusion of this ceremony, the Prince proceeded to inspect the fort of the Vitriolerie, on soe opyosite side of the Ruone, where a sham attack on the citadel was made by the troops. T'uis affair went off in grand style, and the President expressed his congratulations to the commander aud troops at the pertect state of « pbue which they evinced The crowd oa thi gion was immense, and shouted incessantly ‘Vive i Empereur” On bis paseage tarougt the Rue Cea trale, be met with the same reception; and on bis return frou the palace to the prefecture, his oar- rivge was hilerally covered wilh bouquets showered on bim by ladies iu the balconies. In the evening, he visited the grand theatre, and witnessed tao opera of “*Fernaad Cortes,” which was one of tho most gloriou: ploys of the time of the empire, aad contains many allusions to the imperial glory. The woll known chorus of-- A von genve il o'est rien d'impo Ve univers appartient aux heros, was received with Joud plaudits. This was the fa- yorite piece of the Emperor Napoleon; mad, Lam infortaed, that the manager of too opera in Paris had “recgived orders to revive it witn increasad splendor.

Previous to my leaving Paris for this city, I made arrangemente with a friend to forward mo any infor mation that might be interesting to my Amorican readers. — The weather has been most disagrecable, as well in this town as in Paris. The temperature has beon constantly changing, and this is te be attributed to the equinoctial gales, which are very violent this year, ard have occasioned universal damage on the Rhine, Danube, and other rivers; houses, horses, crops, animals, and, terrible to relate, men women, and children have met with a watery gravé from the sudden overflowing of tho rivers. By thelast accounts we have received, the water is somewhat lower, but still sufficiently high to cause great Wa- mage. The Rhone is much swollen, which isit be ac. counted for by the storm which’ has raged wit. zerland for the last fortnight: ti Before leaving Paris on Saturday last, I visited the grand exhibition of fruits and flowers which was held at the Champs Elysée, the same place where the previous one was held. Pears, peaches, melons, grapes, apples, beautifal flowers. and berries of immense size, were placed on a stand under a large tent, which covered the whole exhibition, This garden of Flora and Pomona presented a mon interesting aspect. The usual premiums wero | awarded, and I perceive by the newspapers that the contributors appeared perfectly led with the | distribution. Among the latest peel ettban i te Imust mention the Viaduct of Dinan. This city is situate at the top of ahigh mountain, and is only acces- sible by climbing M. Fellard, an engineer, has constructed a bridge from a@ neighboring hill to this city. The opening of this new road took place on the 20th inat , and attracted thither most of tho influential people in Brittany. The Bishop pre- sided at the ceremony. At the Jardin des Plantes a lioness has given birth to two splendid oubs. Prince Louis Napoleon | bas received from the King of Lahore a present of | a roy#] tiger, which he has presented to tne Jarden des Plantes. Ho is a magnificent animal. The Café de la Régence, where the game of chess was to much played by its admirers, has been demoliah- ed by the Prefect of Paris, to make room for the rojected improvements et Rue de Rivoli. This caté was frequented by Voltaire, Diderot, J. Jaques Rosteau, and other distinguished men, not forgetting Napoleon, who visited it frequently, both before aud after the campaign of Italy. Modern fol Meter are destroying all the antiquities of Paris. In Austria floating churches are coming into fashion. At the Takourk, in Siberia, the Greek sod Russian missionaries have built a church on the river Don, which stops at the different villages, to ufford the inhabitants of the districts an oppor- tunity to attend Divine worship. In the space of eight months more than 1,500 heathen had been in this floating church earls bave been found inthe river Gaadalquiver, and a company has bvea organized to fish, and it is imagived they will meet with groat success. The berrivg tisheries on the shores of France, and in the chaonel, have been this year remarkably pro- ductive. Large shoals of that excellent fish have been found in the neighborbood of Havre A statement has appeared in some French news- papers that the Duke of Wellington, at one period of bis life, spent three years at Piqueral, a college near Angerd, where he learned to speak the French langvege fluently. A very curious experiment of managing the dire o- tion of a balloon tock place a few days ago, at Bo- gain de Luchon, on which oscasion it was proved tbat the theory of Montgolfier was not altogether erroneous. A man named Antonio Moles is tho inventor. His balloon is in the form of a fish, and under it ie placed an apparatus resembling two um- brellas. La Presse has given a iull acoount of this experiment, which proved to be successful. If this be true, I am inclined to believe that it will give new life to ballooning More anon. Mme. De Lucy, the teacher of the children of the Countess of Preslin, who was murdered by her bus- bond, and whose movements during that terriole period were tbe cause of so much comment, has boen qwarried, in Belgium, to an English peer. M. De Humboldt, the illustrious savant of Bu- rope, is now in his eighty-third year. He was born the same year as Napoleon, Wellington, Marshal Soult, Cuvier and Chateaubriand. I have received inelligence from Munich that the cholera bys broken out in that city. Upwards of twenty persons have died of the disease. At the present time the Americans are not very numerous in Psris. I was told by the amiable Mr. Babbit, of the firm of Livingston, Wells & Co., that he bed not econ more than twenty in the week. This was not so last year, for Paria was then filled with foreig particularly Americans Most of the Anicricans have either takon pags- orts for Egypt, or have beon invited by theira nia ble consul, Mr. Jobn Hodge, to witness tho festival on the 25th inet., given in honor of the Prosident The American Ciab of the Cercle des Deux Mondes is dead and buried for want of munagoment by the committee entrusted wita its affairs. A remnant of there aristocratic and exclasive fellows, however, meet at the gambiing rooms of tho “bulls and bears,” of the smali exchange in the passage of the opera. They have mado frequent attempts to allure their countrymen te join their society, but hitherto withent effect Mr. Charles Obristophe, the ominent jeweller and silvei h, whom I bave soveral times mentioned to you, has been engaged to manufacture a service of plate for the President, to adorn the palace of the Tuileries, the value of which is esti- mated at one million and a half of froucs. ‘The plates, dishes, valt-apoons, knives, &c., are of the most exquivite pattern.

Dr. Parker, our commissioner, has entered a stroog protest against this; and on the léth, Commodore Aulick Jeft here with the Susquehanna and Sarato- ga, for Whampoa, to buck Dr. Parker in his mea- | sures. Some speculation is rife as to the result.

NY The Momiteur, of Paris, gives the following official account of the affair: ee ‘he Minister of General Police has for some 4 Neen ay ihe trace of a secret cociety. of which the object ‘Quy more mapifest, The members had re- ean attempt on the life of the President. arteilles had been choren for the execution M Bylvain Blot, Inspector General of the ‘The news from France y, of the plo.

It is compoced of 260 gum barrels und four large blunderluss barrels, the entire divided in 28 compartments. Tnose 28 pieces were, for greater precaution, deposited in 28 different places until the moment a suiteble place could be found to fix and put the machine together. The con- spirators then occupied themeclves with the choice of acituation. which should naturally be sitaste on tho paséage cf the Prince President. They first fixed their cacice ona first story in a house in the Rue d’Aix, where they were to remove and raise the machine on the night jour to that in which the Pre+ident was to arrive at reeilles. Some suspicions which were excited in the minds of the conspirators, caused them to change their idea, and @recond locality was chosen, Like the first, it was situate on the passage of the President, being on the | high road frum Aix. An entire house was bired. It isa small houre. compoced of two stories. with two windows in front. The infernal machine was to have been placed on the first floor. It was seized on that spot. At the same moment, one of the conspirators was in the very house in which the informal machine was found, The others were in their houses, or inthe different places where the police were assured of their presence. The Paris correspondent of tho London Times adds to this statement :— But few authentic details beyond what has appeared in the pubilo papers have transpired with reference to the | dizooveryof the plot at Marseilles, for the assassination of the President of the republic, Those who would detach At altogether from police agency, and who express their belief in the existence of a bona fide project for the de- struction of Lovis Napoleon assert thet the place origi- Bally designed for carrying it into execution was Lyons, or Toulon, but, from rea:ous not fully explained, Mar- feilles was subsequently chosen. Itis also attempted to f it to the agency of some of the more desperate of the: It is not forgotten that amongst the causes to by the President, as rendering inevitable the from his present title toa more pompous though Teally not more absolute ove, would be the future conduct of the different political partivs That conditjon was ex- pressed ip the address on the opening of the Legislative corps at the Tuileries, and there is no doubt that the ex- | istence of such a plot, as that discovered at Mareeilles, was ‘one of the contingencies contemplated. Under any cir- cumstances, there exists no doubt of the establishment of the empire, but the Marseilles project comes just in time to ufiord an additional pretext for the change. When the many plots. of whicb the late King Louis Philippe was Ube object, be remembered, there is no reason for disbe- lieving the fact of desperate men concocting a scheme of | tho kind; nor is there anything in recent events which | would render it improbable. It cannot. however, now be alleged as it was when the famous laws of September, 1835, were enacted, thet this etate of things is owing to the licence of the press. The press is now mute but it would seem that men have not ceased to plot. But what- ever muy be the real character or extent of the conspi- racy, it is certain that it will be a most useful auxiliary to the partituus of the empire. 1 mentioned yesterday, the probability of the decree for the convocation of the Senate being issued from Tours on the 15th October. It is now believed that that body Will be summoned at an earlier period, and that the de- | cree will appear in the Moniteur in a day or two, The departure of Gen, d’Hautpoul to join the President, is considered us indicative of that fuct. ‘The Pa'rie gives the foitowing further details :— Tt was at 10 o’clock in the night of the 23d, that the tral Commissary of Police, accompanied by ten sgon fected the seizuro of the infernal machine.

The last news | states that his reception at Marseilles was almost be- mere belief. He embarked on the 27th ultimo, on oard the Napoleon (screw ship of the line) for Toulon. 2 In the Paris correspondence of the T'imes, we find the following important particulars with regard to the method that will probably be adopted in estab- | lishing the empire now rapidly approaching in France :— ‘Tke expectation of the approaching proclamation of the empire has now become general; indeed, ever since | the coup-d'état, that event has been as certaia, | and only as a question of tim». The first official act to- wards that consummation will, it is believed in well-in- | formed political circles, take place within about three weeks fiom the present date. 1t is expected that on the arrival of the President at Cours. where he is expected om the 16tb of mext month. a decree will be published in the Moniteur for the extraordinary convocation of the Sen- ate, with the object of examining the addresses ema nating from the departmental councils, and of either framing a report thereou, or pacsing » Sonatas-Consuite inviting the President to a-eume the imperial dignity, ‘The reasons on which thut importaat resclationgwill be founded will not differ much from those aliyged on similar cecasienr—the necessity tor stability being amongst the priteipal, That any serious opposition will erie amongst rhe pensioned dignitaries who have to de- cide Ch +0, momentous a question, no one supposes.

From Rome we learn that the Pope visited Porto d’Anizo on the 16th, where, aftgr receiving the authorities, he inspected two steers, intended for the navi- gation of the Tiber; oue of them commmanded by a pontificial officer, and :bo other by Captain Olivier, of the Frenca navy. His Holiness embarked on the former with his suite, aud, escorted by the other, enjoyed a short trip at ea. On his return he visited a new church, under construction by his orders, to- which a Franciscan convent is to be added in course of time. His Holiness, observing some miserable huts on the ancient promontory of Antium, directed. the Pro-Minister 01 Finance to erect convenient houses there for the population, which is constant! on the increase. The Pope afterwards admit Prince Borghese and Privce Aldobrandini, who had come to pay their respects to him, to his table, after | which be returned to Cas'el Gandolfo. On the fol- lowing day his Holiness proceeded to visit the bridge of Ancia, which is now being built between Home and Albano, one of the most remarkable eonstruc- tions erected under his pontificate. His Holiness then pra seaie to the church of Arica, where he ad- mitted the ar eae ed and several persons of distinction to the honor of kissing his foot, after, which he returned to Castel Gandolfo on foot. England—Onslaught on the American Minister. (From the London Times, Sept. 28.] We have read with surprize an expression in @ letter addreseeao by Mr. Abbott Lawrence to the | National Intelligencer, wt Washington, in whieh that gentleman denies that ‘he had consented, on the part of the United States, to the monopoly of the Lobos Islands between Peru and Great Britain.” We do not question the accuracy of Mr. Lawrenee’é statement, but it implies « strange looseness in tho use of words, to speau of the monopoly of the Lobos Islands as so1wething exreting ** between Pera and Great Britain” It is notorious, frem papers deli- vered to Parliament and from the answer given by the British government to persons engi in the trade of guano, thut this monopoly (as it is termed) existe solely and exclusively in wr of the Peru- Vian government, as the lawful ewner and sovereign of the Lobos Islande, ana that it has been enforced againet Britieh traders just as much as against the traders from the United States, or any other of the world Eogland has recognized the rights of the Peruvian government to these ssions be- | cause they ress on undeniable evidence of tradition and of Jaw. It would, no doubt, have been for the interest of trado und agriculture to bave discovered that these islands were mudlius juris, and might be occupied or appropriated by any or by all the nations of the earth. But when Pera evtablished by argument and evidence ber occupation and dominion in the islands, she imposed on us and on our traders the obligation | of buying what was clearly not our own; and to dispense with that necessary condition with refer- ence to the natura) produce of a territory be! to a foreign power ig simp!y to steal inatead of to trade, and vo overthrow and violate the rights of property altogether. That is, however, the course which some of the American epeculatorsin guano seem to have already. taken, under the ostensible sanction of the letter written and published sume few weeks ago by the American Srcretary ot State on this enbject. Mr. Jewett announces, in a comsunication addressed to Mr. Webster, the names and dimensions of a fleet pieedtoetl Tes five barks aud fifteen larger vessels, some of them fully armed, which have beon alread: despatehva from ports of the United States, to round Cape Horn, and to fetch guano from the Lobo felands, in direct violation of the laws and conditions established by the Pervvian gov- erpment for the sale of that article. We are told further, that the Sarah Obase, a bark of 283 tons, commanded by the chief of this expedt- tion, is completely armed 8 a privateer, or rather as 2 pirate, having on board four earronades and 1,000 round of bal! and cannister shot, besides all that ia required to effeot a permanent settlement of at least 150 men on the island. The captain of this vessel is expressly directed to take possession of ail the available landing places in both bays where guano is collected, to defend bimsolf and his meu by force agninst any attempt to interfere with his operations ; und, in rhort, to act in all respects as if this expedition represented a legally constitu- ted power and authority, instead of being a private adventure of & mere party of bucaniers. this i aailed on the 20th 0: July, she will probably arrive at about the prerent time off the coast of Peru, together with many other ships, moro or less armed, which have been despatched in consequence of Mr. Webster's ill-ndvised promise of protection from the United States equadron in those seas. The Peruvian gevernment has been for some time past on tts gaurd, and it bas probably at its dispo- sal & marine force euflicient to beat off or capture any cf tho mercantile privateers sont to invade its rights. Woe certainly do not nuticipate that any officer in the Onitea States navy will venture upon a declaration of war against the Pornviaar, simply to dispute a torial right which has been recog: nized by the whole civitirea world. If Captain Jewott’a instructions were oarriod into eflect, they would not merely eject the lawfal sove- | reign of these islands, but. vhoy would establish a permanent Amerionn occupation of them in ite piace Ifthe American theory could be supported, end the ivlenes are really to be considered as unin- habited. uffooeupied, avd uveonnected with any poli- tical Stato, they would, of course, become the pro- perty of the first power which should think propor to |e its flag there. Mr. Webster has gone forthor, and has even had the temerity to assert that they wore dircovered by an American citizen at a ocormperatively recent poriod, and not by the Spaniards us Jong back a 1074. Even if this oxtra- yagant fiction could be supported, it would not help | Mr. Webuter’s case, for more discovery withont oo- oupation will not establisa sovereignty; aud the | argument of previous posession is established in favor of the Peruvian government by the very means they have employed to warn other unlicensed traders off the court Tt enunot be #upposed that islands like these, which, though uninhabivod, oon- in a natural deposit of great Value, ehould remain in w state of nature, or be regaeded as the common roper'y of tho world. ‘There ix no territory ou the face of the globe in that 1, oxeops those rocks or jslete eoatiered ¢ sonn, whieh offer of any hind to the eaterprive sad of man; sodit is obvious that, from moment that any of thowe islends, or any pert er products, acquire valae, they mut beeme tubject to the inws of property eatublishod, ond hi- theilo reco J, by ail civilized communities Americans hold a differen’ argument, and appear to BYOW an oppo: principle.
