PROGRESS OF FRANCE TOWARDS EMPIRE: MONARCHICAL CONTEST FOR THE HAND OF THE PRINCESS VASA. STATE OF THE MARKETS. COTTON ADVANCING, AND BREADSTUFFS AND PROVISIONS STATIONARY, Bic Ber, Bee Hauirax, Ost, 12, 1852. ‘The R, M. steamship America, Capt. Shannon, arrived at her wharf in this city about half past twelve o’clook this afternoon, having left Liverpool at 11 80 A. M., on the 2d imet. On the 2d inst., the America exchanged signals, at 215 P.M, with the ship Bland. On the 3d, at 45P. M. ~paseed the steamer Europa, for Liverpool. On the 10th, at 1030A. M., passed a screw steamer, supposed to be the Glasgow, from New York for Glasgow. ‘With the exception of the activity and advancing ten dency in the cotton market, the English news is almos- devoid of interest. The accounts from France indicate the rapid approach ofthe Empire. It is now thought Louis Napoleon will be Emperor, even before his return to Paris. ‘The Emperor of Austria is understood to be a suitor forthe hand of the Princess Vasa, and the Emperor of Ruesia is also using his influence to seoure her for Prince Adalbert, of Bavaria. ‘The Belgian ministry has again resigned.

A dinner was given at Bambury on Tuesday, by the conservatives: in honor of the Hon. J. W. Henley, the President of the ‘Bord of Trade, Col. North, Capt. Vyse, and Mr. Knight- Jey, the tory members tor Oxfordshire and South North- aupptonabire. A free trade banquet is to be held at Manchester on the ‘9th proximo, at which Messrs. Cobden, Bright, Hall, and other leading men of the party, are to assist. At Liverpool the liberals are organizing against the tory party, who carried the last election. ‘The Qneen and court were still in the Highlands of Scotland, where, also, Lord Hardinge, the new comman™ der-in obief, was in attendance. Earl Derby was at his seat in Lancashire. The othe" members. of the government were scattered here and there in the country, and Disraeli, according to Punch 4s “ shut up in Downing street, caloulating on a slate the details of his budget.” ‘The:papers are full of speculations on French and Ame- rican affairs, to the exclusion of local matttrs. ‘The London papers are rabid aghnn Capain Jot | teeing Tir" 1th” Gop’ ta * @xpedition to the Lobos islands, scheme for the annexation of Peru: Yumored that om account ) The Le Plata had on board three ies—a from the President of Mexioo to the Prince of Wales— besides some presents to the Queen, in charge of Ool.

The public mind appears to be made up in favor of the immediste proclamation of the Empire; and it is even said that Louis Napo- Jeon will return to Paris Emperor, and that the proolamation will be made at Tours, the amoient capita) of Tourienne, on the dth inst. His reception at Toulon, Avignon and Marseilles, was enthusiastic. He was mot and congratulated by the Envoy of Piedmont, Naples and the Pope. On Isying the foundation of the new Bourse at Mar- | seilles, Louis Napoleon said he hoped that the prosperity of that port would contribute towards the realization of the Emperor’s grand idea, that the Mediterranean should be a French lake. The idea is not disconnected in the pub- lic rumors, from the hints thrown out in ® government paper that when a few more steamers are launched, Eng- land will be called upon to show by what title she holds Gibraltar and the Ionian islands, It is reported that the French ministers at forcign courts have received instructions to announce the proba- bility ofthe convocation of the Senate to restore the | Empire, and to repeat the assurances of Louis Napoleon in fayor of peace. The Gazette de Breslau says that the Emperor of Aus- tria bas demanded the hand of the Princess Vasa, and that the Emperor of Russia is using his influeuce to win the same lady for Prince Adalbert, of Bavaria, brother ‘to the King of Greeoe.

The market closed on Friday the Ist, firm with am upward tendency.

Scott at the Exchange Hotel, last evening, was a very brilliant affair. After the plates were removed, Hon. E. Coox was called on for a speech. In responding to the call he made a very eloquent address, reviewing the services of General Scott throughout his career. During the speech he touched upon the fact which has been stated, that, during the war, Scott was offered a large sum of money to take the government of Mexico into his own hands, . THE APRECH OF GEN, SCOTT—ALLUSION TO THE OFFER OF” ONE MILLION BY THE MEXICAN PEOPLE, TO TAKE CHARGE OF THEIR GOVERNMENT, ETC. Gen. Scorr replied:—‘: My friends, and fellow. citizens— friends I may well call you—It {s impossible for me to sit still under the very eloquent words which I have just heard spoken, and under your very emphatic approbation ‘of them, without making my acknowledgments to my ‘honorable friend, who has poured outa stream of elo” quence, containing, allusions personal to myself— higaas no doubt, but with perhaps ‘@ fn truth, I say, I cannot sit and the applause with which it ha, it rising to offer my thanks.

The Battle of Chippewa was at ‘To what I am about to say. Major Camp. and many others who served in that Will testify. (C wi Sheers for Major Camp.) I shall have occasion to speak jicularly, and more emphati- cally, ofthat brother solder. Marching into battle, I call out to a gallant officer, who was at a considerable distance, loud for the greater portion of our men to hear me: “T) dark cloud hanging over the country. Let ‘us draw our swords and do that will gledden the hearts of the country—let us do something which will cause bap kiarre (ve! toring the bells and build bontires and ill ’ The thing was done, and re- on other occasions. (Applause.) That is the slight plece of egotiam to which Ihave been led by the eloquent address which we have just heard. I spoke of another soldier who was within sound of my voice, and who now stands near me. He was, in 1814, quite a young man, of very inferior rank, as compared with his merit. He entered the campaign with the rank of vaptain. His ravk should have been that of colonel. (Applause.) You may be aware that the chief quarter-master general is next in importance to the chief commander of the army. Everything depends upon his energy and foresight. Gen. Brown lajor Camp, in my presence, at a period when every house, gave one, in the city of Buffalo had been and allthe boats belonging to Lake Erie had been eo! and carried off, and when it was abso- Tutely necessary for us to cross over Niagara rs “Cannot we have es many boats by such a time?’ I turned to Brown, and said:—“I know the thing’ tobe impossible, That Camp will do his best.” In due reason, much to our joy, ample means were pro- vided by the indefatigabie Camp; and, what was more, he hed the honor, on that oecasion, of leading my bri- § and he stood side by side with me omthe quarter- leck of that little boat, which was stranded under the heavy fire of the enemy. I had to swim for my life, and he assisted in plucking me up, or I should have been drowned. (Sensation. ” But for Major Camp, there would:have ended my Ittle history. He took me by the collar, while he was struggling in the stream, and pulled me over the boat. (Cheers.) In every emergency we were favored as by an overruling Providence. In every. instance of necessity we were supplied with ample means which reminded me of Frederick of Prussia, who said to the Commissary General—“I know it is impossible for you to place provisions for my army at such a point,” % May it please you majesty,” he repited, “impossibility shall not only become posaibslity, but certainty.” Bo it proved with us, in every ovent. (Applause ) I cannot recall @ single individual who served in that war who has been so poorly requited, considering the services render- a) river, ed, as jor Camp I have suid that he entered the cumpaign with a rank far below bis merit, At its close, he had earned the rank of major. It should have been that of majer. Leah at for Major Camp ) My honorable friend, who has addressed you in such elo- quent terms as almost to deter me from attempting to speak, baa referred to come scenes that occurred in Mexi- co, to one or two of which I beg leave to advert. fe has spoken of the protection extended to the churches—he might have added to the persons and property of all, I had the warm thanks of the Archbishop of that coun- try. for the protection given to the church, and also those of his people, I had his affection, his thanks, and his blessing. Me was an aged mun, then eighty-five years, and is now gone to his long home. I spoke to him about the pictures with which the churches were orna- mented. they were copies and originals by the first masters of Spain, and the former could not be distin- guished by a connoisseur from the originals. He sup- posed Thad @ fancy for some of them; and I must say I ad. Ihad @ lurking wish to bring some home for our public buildings, not for private use. I intimated such a purpose, and he ¢aid if I chose to select fifteen or twenty of them, he would assist me in selecting duplt- cates, one of which might be retained for Mexico. I went home, and thought on the matter. If I take these pictures home, thought I, it would be like taking from Peter to pay Paul. If Ltake twenty, why should not other officers take pictures in proportion? So 1 came to the conclusion not to take one; nor was there a picture taken, I am confident, by any American officer, or Ame- tican soldier. They were all left as we found them, ua- touched and undamaged. (Applause.) One word more about myself, my friends, My friend has adverted ta the proposition seen floating ‘about in the newspapers. I have nowhere seen it correctly stated that an offer was made to me, to remain in that country and govern it, The im- pression which generally prevails, that the proposition emanated from Congress, if an erroneous one. The over- ture was made to me by private citizens—men ot wealth and prominence. During our stay in Mexioo, our sys- tem of government and police was established, which, as the inhubitants themselves confessed, gave security—for the first time, perfect and absolute security—to person end property. About two-fifths of all the branches of overnment, including nearly a majority of the mem- ‘ts of Copgress, and the Executive, were quite deal- rous of having that country annexed to ours. They knew that upon the ratification of tho treaty of peace, nine- teen out of twenty of the persons belonging to tho American army would stand disbanded, and would be absolutely free from.all obligations to remain in the army another moment. It was entirely true of all the new regiments called and eight out of ten of the rank and file of the old iments, After the war wes over, the government overwhelmed mo with rein- forcements after there was no possibility of fighting anoth- er battle. When the war cemmenced, we had but one- fourth the force which we needed. The Mexicans knew that the men in my army would be entitled to their dis- charge. They supposed if they could obtain my services I would retain these twelve or fifteen thousand men, and that I could easily obtain one hundred thonsand more from home. The he was that it would immediately cause annexation. They offered me one million of dollars as a bonus, with a salary of $260,000 per annum, and five responeible individuals to become security in any bank in New York which I might name. It would be so arranged that I might get it in fivedays. Thoy expected that an- nexation would be brought about in a few years, or if not, that I could organise the finances, and straighton the complex affaire of that government It was understood that nearly @ majority of Congress was in favor of annex- ation, and that it was only necossary to publish a pro- nunciamanto to that effect to secure the object. We pos- sessed all the arms of the countzy, and occupied their cannon foundries and powder manufactories, had poases- sion of their ports of entry, and might easily have held them inour ae ifthis arrangement had gone into effect. A published pronunciamentd would have brought Con- gress right over to us, and with these fifteen thousand loved him with pure and abiding affection which Tinten4- ed should never have end-—and it never shall But he has gone home, there to dwell until the aoocalyptic comes, with one foot upon lan}, and one on the sa, and shail deolate, after the seven thunders are hushed, that the mys- terics of God are ended. that time shall be no more.

DEPARTURE FROM SANDUSKY—ARRIVAL AT BUP- FALO, ETO. Burraro, October 12, 1852. General Scott loft Sandusky,’ on the steamer Arrow, at 4P.M. yesterday, and boarded the Mayflower, which was in waiting at the entrance to the bay, at half-past 4, A large number of persons were on board, as were also a committee from Detroit, who came to wait on the General to Buffalo. The evening was rpent on board in singing and dancing. The Mayflowor arrived at Buffalo at half-past sevem o'clock, A. M., and the General remained on board till nine, at which hour a procession of military was formed, ‘and conveyed him to tho American Hotel, where he was weloomed by Mayor Barton, in a brief address, THE GENERAL'S SPEECIT, Gen. Bcorr made the following reply to the Mayor :— My Fellow-citizens—I am happy to be able to feel that Tam not a stranger among you. Itis now forty years and one week since I first visited this place—since I first caught # view of the mighty inland ocean which now Hes spread before me. Itis upwards of forty years, as your Mayor has reminded me, in flattering terms, since I was called upon to form s camp of instruction in this neigh. borhood, and since the army was first organized and pre- pared for those great battles which our countrymen do not now choose should be forgotten. I well recollect the scenes which were enacted in this neighborhood at that perlod. They are brought back forcibly to my mind this morning, when I behold some of my fellow-actors in those scenes—for, although so many have passed away I thank God that a few still remain of my old companions of 1812, In the space of time which has intervened since then, Buffalo has passed from a hamlet toa mighty city. Thanks to the enterprise and intelligence of its inhabitants, an important city now rises, At that pe- riod I was sent here by the government to form a new army, and to endeavor to make head against the enemy. While the army remained—and I am proud to say they rendered good service—the inhabitants took courage. They returned to the smouldering ruins where once had stood their dwellings, and commenced rebuilding. Whilst I remained I had the pleasure of seeing their labors pro- gress—of beholding their houses rise from the foundation tothe crowning roof—I had aleo the satisfaction of having out volunteers to assist them in their work, from among the mechanics who had enlisted in the ruins of the army; and brave and noble soldiers they were, They aided the inhabitants in their work, and contributed all in their power to their relief, These are the recollections which make this spot interesting, and render the present mo- ment one of the proudest of my life. There are other associations, too, more personal, with which these scones are connected. I do not forget that it was in this neigh- borhood. forty years and four days ago, this day, that I heard the report of the first cannon, and first musket, that I ever heard fired in war. I well remember— never, indeed, can I forget—the valuable assist- ance which the brave; patriotic citizens of this vicinity rendered to the army of their country, in securing the victories which followed. I remember the assistance, indeed, received from the inhabitants of the entire frontier, who came to the aid of the regular troops, and helped not alittle in achieving the victories which thenceforth crowned our arms. I thank you, then, hear- tily, my countrymen, of all ‘ies, for welvome, I make no distinction, and I noaze is made on this ‘occasion, between whigs and democrats, I have made, and I make, no allusion to party topies. I say to all my countrymen, whether of this or that party, whether bora upon the soil or adopted by your own voluntary acta, I thank you forthis meeting. andam proud tocall you allmy countrymen. Yes, and Lam proud. too, to claim your, State of New York my home for thirty odd years. fT am happy to belong to the great and glorious Union of which this is the Emp ire State. I am proud and happy to own allegiance to that Union, to owe devotion to the constitu- tion and to all the compromises of the constitution. In this day of prosperity and sunshine there is little merit in boasting that, like you, I have been ready at all times to lay down my life in the sup- rt of that Union and Constitution. But may I not ope that my pate life in darker hours haa proved my sincerity, and is sufficient guarantee that I partake of your devotion to the best interests of our common country? My friends, being debarred from all party topics, being resolved not in any instance to touch upon such subjects, Ihave little more toadd, except my hearty thanke—the thanks of am old soldier—for the honor you have this day done me. The occurrences of the day will be added to my other pleasing recollections of your city, and cherished to the end of my life, already extended to the usual span, and which cannot last more than fifteen or twenty years longer. Accept, then, my friends, my hearty thanks for the warmth and sincerity of your welcome, and may God bless and pros per you all. EFFECT OF THE SPEECH—GLEE SINGING, RTC. There were loud and enthusiastic cheers when tho General finished this bappy address, and the effect of his quiet but earnest manner of delivery was great upon the assemblage. Every man appeared delighted with the old warrior, and those who had been accustomed to believe that he was but an awkward and bungling orator, stared at each other in astonishment. ‘The Scott Glee Band, ot Buffalo, then advanced to the front of the balcony, while the General stood back,"and sang two songs, with which General Scott expressed him- self much pleased, He then retired to the drawing room, where he is now receiving visiters He will leave to-morrow morning for Rochester. GENERAL SCOTT EXPECTED AT ROCHESTER. Rocuesren, Oot. 12, 1852, Gencral Scott will arrive in Rochester on Thursday, at o'clock, P. M., when there will be @ grand dsmonstra- tion.

Fatigued with the exertions of the day, and supposing that in the quietness of the night I should not be called upon by countrymen, I had undressed and retired to my bed. was suddenly awakened with the news that the people of Carroliton desired to seo and bear old soldier, ie mendous cheering.) To rise at any hour is no hardship tome, but really I think my appearance before you, ia gown and sMppers, not very becoming. (Laughter and cheers.) Allow me to thank you for your kindness, and to assure you that notbing ean be moro gratifying to the feelings of an old soldier than such hearty greeting as you have exhibited towards me to-night. May God bless you. Massachusetts Politics. FREE SOIL AND DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS FOR CONGRESS. Bosrox, Oct. 12, 1852.
