To the question which was put to him as to the propriety of doing such a thing, be replied that such was wish, and that he had no other answer to give; and immediately he dictated also the decree by which M. de Maupas was named Senator and Ambassador at Naples—desiring not to permit the | French people to suppose that he was placing his ex-minister in a state of unfavor. was quite astonished on the next morning to see the decree in the Moniteur, and 1 am told that he showed much grief to a few of his friends who had called to see him. But he soon recovered, and went to St. Cloud, where he was received with courtesy by the Kmperor, and not a word of the decree was spoken between them. M. de Maupas is gone to Tepiee and it is whispered in certain quarters that he has received private directions to see whether the return of the Murat family on the throne of the Two Sicilies was possible to undertake. It is a cer- tain fact that the ambassador of King Ferdinand of Naples bas shown much dissatisfaction at the nomination of M. de Maupas. Though the arrests made by the late Minister of Police were useless and arbitrary, for the most part they are continued under the direction of M. Pietre; but the warrants have this time been directed ment of uis Napoleon. Many socialists and repris de justice who had retarned to Paris have been sent to the conciergerie, aud will be dis- posed of in a short time. But among the late arrests I have to mention the curate of the charch of St. Joseph, who is well known for his legitimist opinions; and also a rich chocolate maker, of the rue du Helder, who is ranked among the demo- crats of Paris. There is no doubt the disaffection of parties is extreme, and no one can tell when @ revolution will take pisce It may come out as @ tornado, but it may‘also be as long coming as the last judgment. We shall see. It is also reported that Louis Napoleon's intention is to suppress the Ministry of Public Instruction, which would become one of the branches of the Ministry of the Interior, and thus M. de Persigny of France. The Minister of Public Worship has directed the Catholic clergymen not to show themselves 80 severe about the marriages between Protestants saat iages, when the two parties did not bind them- selves ligion. A great many persons on whom such con- ditions had been imposed have refused to consent to tant ministers. Since the nomination of M. de Maupas, and M Berger, (late Prefect of La Seine,) rej d by M. Haussmen, to the dignity of senators, the number of the senatorshas been raised to one hundred and fifty four. Tlere are now two princes of the Im- perial family, six cardinals. six marshals, and two admirals. The gther one hundred and thirty eight have been directly named by the Emperor, whilst the preceding are senators occording to the terms of the constitution. M. le Marquis de Lavalette, ex-am- bassador of France to Constantinople, has just been named senator. I have also to mention among the last decrees that relative to the Decoration of the Legion of Honor, and also to the other orders of foreign countries. For the future no Frenchman will be allowed to wear at is not allowed to do it by a private decision. The Mcniteur has already published a series of names of persons from whom the right of wearing the ribbon of the Legion of Honor, as well as other rib- | bons, has been taken off. There were many people in | France, who bad no right whatever to wear deco- rations, who have been frightened by the decree, and | who have already taken off their ribbons from their button holes. ry funny, indeed—is it not? Not to speak of the scandal which was caused by the | sight of men of the most infamous sort who were | bold enough to make other people believe that they | were honorable men. | The last decree I will mention is relative to an im- | mense exhibition of works of art, industry and com- merce of all nations, to take place in Paris in the year 155, at the Champs Elysee, in the new build- | oe now in riapersiteht e cet I am satan) jeve that exhibition surpass everything the kind that has ever been seen, and all care will be taken to attract foreign nations to send their goods to it. | The Duke and Duchess d’Albe, who are the bro- | ther-in-law and sister of the Empress, arrived on Monday last in Paris, and are now remaining at the | chateau of St. Gloud, with the imperial couple.

Ladies, beware. Prince Napoleon Bonaparte has been sent ona | mission to St. Omer, to visit the camp of Helfant, | and be present at the mancenvres of the army en- camped on that spot.

The fact is, | that I did not think proper to transmit to the UzuaLp a series of ramors which had no certainty; but now | that I have had time to know the trath of the whole | affair I will lay it before your readers. The facts | are as follows:— | For a long time past, M.de Maupas, whose only object was to ape M. Fonché, the Police Minister of | Napoleon the First, was daily giving the Emperor | Feport of would-be conspiracies against his life and | that of the Empress. | According to his reports, there wor a plot made by the socialists and legitimists to poision Louis Napoleon and the Empress Enzénie; and the Arsh- bishop of Paris, as well as the Dutcaess of Monti- | cello, one of the ladies of honor, were involved in | fhe shameful conspiracy. Another report was that the murderer had resolved to asrassinate the Enperor and Empress during the visit they had ictended to pay to the Hippodrome, st the barrier VBtoil. Accordingly on that day, Satarday week, whilst the performance was goinz on, the police arrested more than three hundred people, under tee suspicion of being at the lead of the con- piracy; but none of the tree conspirators were taken , ms.

But it is now | doubtful whether he will accept this new honor, and will not prefer to remain at Washington, far from the political turmoil of his country. ‘The newspapers which were seized at Madrid dar- ing the ministry of Roncali Llorrente were to be | sold on the 26th inst.

It had been affirmed in several quarters that the hostililies between the Russians and the Turks had alread, the shores of the river Prath; bat the news has been denied, and we are on the gui vive for more intelli- gence. Itis oy certain that M. Balabin, the last member of the Prince Menschikoff has decidedly left the capital of Turkey, taking with him all the archives of the Roas'an embassy. From all quarters of Europe we receive the intelligence that the Russians and the | ‘Turks are continuing their armaments. The Turks, particularly, are raising all the troops which can be disposed of in all the territory, and their fleet is | anchored at the entry of the Bosphorus, from Terassa to the Black Sea. Itis composed of thirty-five ships for the present, but twenty other mea-of-war, which were cruising elsewhere, have been recalled, and there are also several others, nearly completed, at the | arsenal. In short, such is the pesition of the Turk- ich question ot present. We are anxiously expecting a clue to that affair. The shah of Persia has sent an ambassador to Constantinople to offer the Sultan the help of his army ageinst Russia, and it is said that the soldiers are desperately coura: 48.

This msy seem to be a small matter at which to cavil; but as one of the descendants of the original settlers, I am not willing that the credit which should attach itself to my ancestors should be ac- corded to any other vation or people, which is the case when, as in the extract alluded to, the word German is substit....1 for that of Dutch or Hollander.

Holland, ocenpying but a mere “patch upon the earth's surface”—and that wrung from the ocean— has succeeded, through the untiring industry, indo- mitable perseverance, and, more than all, the stera aud unyielding integrity of her citizens, in making herself known and respected in every portionof the habitable globe, and because she occupies the smallest conceivable portion of earth that can be dignified by the title of a kingdom, it does not therefore follow that ber more successful neighbor, and thoee claiming a deacent therefrom, should seek to blot her from existence, by confounding her with | Germany, a nation as widely differing from the his button hole a ribbon of any country if he | | grave, sileut and nearly alone. | the well fought fields of aaa _ of the leading officers of our own regimeat appear | | | in the factory the day previous to the fire.

It may not be known to most of your readers, but such is nevertheless the fact, that Thomas Jefferson. was indebted for the entire framework of his immor- tal Declaration toa similar document SaIAnRR from Holland, protesting against the wrongs an outrages committed by Spain. And that same Thomas Jefferson, after he had passed. middle age, acquired a knowledze of the Dutch lan- guage, in order that he might thereby obtain a more | correct and thorough acquaintance with the history of that remarkable people. It is from no fear that Holland, or her inhabitants, or the memory of the Knickerbockers, will suffer from this mistake, that I attempt the correction, but becanse I am desirous that justice should be done, and especially so to a nation and pone that contn- buted so largely to the success of our arms and te | the establishing of our independence during our Revo- lotionary struggles. | The New York Volunteers. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. At the funeral of William Jones, of Company K, New York Volunteers, on Sunday, the small remains of that body followed their departed comrade to the No music, no escort, noue of the outward respect which the war-wora sol- dier has a right to expect, when, after euduring the thousand privations and hardships of a campaign in | an enemy's country, and returning with the seeds of certain dissolution in his system, incurred ae exposure in a tropical climate, he at length lays him down and dies, a sacritice, though an humble one, to the unconquered glory of his country’s flag. Sir, is this right/—is it creditable to the military 0° this city, to the city government, who are proud ot the regi- ment in the abstract, who glory in the gallant man- ner in which the Empire State was represented on lexico—thus to allow those who fearlessly and heroically bore the burthen and heat of the day, to go down to the grave, alone and unhonored, save by a few sorrowing comrades, bear- ing the proud remains of those colora they peril'ed (and which the departed eventually sacrificed) their lives to return, untarnished py disgrace or defeat, to the city which entrusted them to their hands? And am I to have still further to ask, why do some 60 lukewarm in all that respects the departed and departing soldiers? At the tuneral on Sunday, none of the field officers were present, and not a single commissioned officer of any rank in uniform. A considerable company fund is in existence, and al- | though I capnot procure such information as will en- able me to say whether a portion of it should be ap- plied to the purpoee of obtaining the necessary music for the proper military interment of our brother sol- diers, yet surely the influence of the field and compa- ny officers, or some of them, might be so exerted | that this sad evidence of services .fergotten might | not be too forcibly impressed upon the survivors. To Captain Fairchild every man of the volunteers is ready to render thanks for the unwearying interest he takes in all that concerns the regiment. Always at bis post, he on Sunday took command of the fune- ral cortege, and although not in uniform, it was from circumstances which he explained at the time, as en- tirely beyond his control. A Member or Company K. Another Destructive Fire in Richmond. (From the Kiehmond Ioquirer. July 16 } Onur city bas recently been visited with a regular suceession of fires—some of them more than usually destructive. Not two weeks haselapsed cince we had to record the burning of the extensive tobacco establishment of Mr. James Thomas, Jr., produsing ‘a loes of about $50,000. We have now to record tne lose of three more ¢stublishments, of a similar kind, also involving the proprietors and insurance com- panies in very heavy losses :— On Thur-da) aig t, about 12 o'clock, a fire brake out ina block of new four story brick buildings situated between Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets, and extending in depth from Cary to Water street, on the dock. ‘he buildings belonged to tue heirs of the late John Enders, aud were all occupied as tobaceo facteries. The fire originated in the building occupied asa factory by Mr. James Riley, and communicated to a building on the west, occu- pied by Messrs. William Robinson & Co., and toa | building on the east im the occupancy of Messrs. Harwoed & Blackburu. These three baildings were | wholly consumed, with nearly their entire contents. | Mr Ripley, in whose building the fire first broke out, saved but little of his stock and fixtures. His lose will amount, it ia believed, to not leas thao $8,000, on which there is an insurance of $6,000 in the office of the Virginia Fire and Marine Company. Messrs. Robinson & Co. saved some inconsiderable portion of their stock and fixtur es; yet their loss is very heavy. The fire caught them with an unusually large stock on band. Betweeu fifty any sixty hogs heads of tobacco had been purchased and dep sited Tuey are inanred to the amount of $10,000—tive thousand in the Virginia Fire and Marine office, and alike amount in the office of the Richmond Fire Association.
