Austria, by entering the Principailties, has prevented the Turks from harass- ing the retreat of the Russians. This is to be de- plored; but it is what wasexpected. Austria has thos commenced active treachery. Preparations for embarking English troops from England are active'y going on, bat whether for the east or the north ia not yet known.

Billaultt—Apprehensions for the Harvests—Thea- tres, &c. This being the commemoration of the great festi- valof the United States—the Declaration of Inde- pendenoce—the American Minister opens his house to a reception, en grand toilette. The English Am- bassador, Lord Cowley, the French Minister of Fo- reign Affairs, M. Dronyn de L’huys; the Prassian, Austrian, Spanish, Belgian, and Bavarian represen- If tatives of their reepective courts, leave their cards | ‘at the Legation des Etats Unis; and the Hon. John Mason, laying aside the republican simplicity of his segars, and his cool tankard, and giving a shade less the appearance of an estaminet to his ambassadorial domicil inthe Beaujean, is seen in bold relief—his barley figure rejoicing in superfine broadcloth, and his visage and farons @ /a neigs redolent of paternal sumiles and ineffable good humor. The American Minister is to-day, in fact, in his element, and feels himself every inch a pillar of the State. His French governess—nothing loath—is made a participator in the national festival, and has got a holiday, leaving the worthy Minister to indulge in his own vernaou- lar. Americas expecta it of him; and Mr. Mason will fill up, to its “beaded brim,” his glass, and no Minis, ter, past, preeent, or to come, has done or will do more fit honor and service to the stirring toast which thrill and vibrates through the heart of every true American, than the present honorable representa- tive of the United States in France. His speech, as his welcome, will be boon and loyal, and his hospi+ tality euch as becomes the glorious banner of the wipes and stars. But if to-morrow, with a slight gene in the head and twinge in the heart, should with it some mournfal reflections on the nig: disbursement of the national exchequer on account, who shall blame him? for how, in the of fortune, is a man who can’t speak French, and his wife and ten children, to live in Paris as the of the American constitution, upon a e one-third of which must absolutely be ab- in payment of his rent?

The great mass of Cossacks have, it is said, been calied under arms, and are advancing, by forced marches, towards the frontiers, which are menaced. and Cronstedt intact, to be talking of the Czar's abdication, forgetting that where there is a system the abdication of the head es nothing.

The fate of fallen ministers is prover- bial; and in these days, when the times bring us back to daya euch as Louis the Fourteenth, the same whisperings, backbitings and slanders are cur- rent. It is said of M. de Persigny that he was never ing, always teazing for more and more, till at length, fairly tired out, his imperial frieud and master ac- clined to think that al) this is either false or gross nee prime Persigny was a zealous friend, but an indifferent man of business. Voila tout! M. tionably a man of distinguished ability. His ciples may be said, however, to be a grade inferior to those of hia predecessor. He will, without doubt, serve Napoleon well, so long as that imperial per- sonage is strong enough to hold his owa; butshould | he fail to do so, M. Billault is not the man to play the Martyr. He is forty-nine years of age, was an avocat at Nantes, and became a Deputy in 1837, anda fol- lower of Odillon Barrott. Three after he went over to Thiers—at that time red hot against the English about the Tahiti business—the Pritchard affair. Under him be took office, and continually assailed Guizot about the entente cordiale. At the Tevolution of 1848, he became a member of the National Assembly, was made one of its Vice Presidents, and distinguished himself by his advo- cacy of the Assembly’s interests against the Presi- dent of the republic. This, however, did not hinder him from seeking the service of that President when be became Emperor. and fulfilling with great ability the office of President of the Le; years. Napvleon in this imitates his great ances- tor: As the buccaneer says to the frail fair one, he meets ona lee shore—* I ask thee not what thou hast been, only see thou be faithful to me, or this cudgel shall make thee rue it.” High honor and un- band, and on the otber Napoleon can do ashe pleases, if the Home Minister plays any tricks. Again: I am sorry, to say, the weather is such as to ae continued cause for disquietude. A violent thunder storm on Saturday, which by ‘its electric effects spread alarm and consternation, and consid- erable destruction over Paris and its environs, seemed to promise at length a finale. The sun, for two days, came forth and threw its genial influence overeverything. The luscious fruit, of which the abundance is unexampled, was brought to market fresh and undamaged, the shops were ge" ed with a hyd harvest of new vegetables; and e coun- try the almost Hipe corn hegan to lift up its head in sign of plenty for both man and beast.

Up to the moment at which I write no answer has been received from the Czar, nor is one ex: nounces that this will not prevent the forward march of the Austrian troops, whose general, Mar- shal Hess, is on his way to the southern division of the Austrian army, which has its head quarters at Temlin, and communications have been already opened with Omer Pacha. The participation of the Austrian generals in the preparation for approach- ing hostilities is now direct and avowed, and a brush with the Russian troops before entering the Principalities, is expected. An Austrian column is to descend the Danube, and be assisted by the allied army, if not by Omer Pa ha’s troops; while the Austrian forces in Transylvania will perhaps de seend by the passes, effecting @ junction with the extreme right of their own army. ‘The official journal is beginning now to apply the d,’” the circular, "that never be the instrument of foreign she will employ reason and down the efforts of false aa the barbarity dvs Ler majesty tereste; that , viike, to pot aa well same flattering deference to Prassia, which of late has been so industriously displayed towards Aus tria.

There is a gravity and religious sanctity enveloped around them, much more serious, more solemn, more rever- entis!, than is ever seen displayed among deacons, members and converts belonging to the fashionable orders of religion of our degenerate-day. But how these perfectionists get over many passages of Scripture, which emphatically declare “no man ‘veth, and sinneth not,” were not revealed to us. They claim, as every other reli 8 sect ever have, that they find ample authority in the Bible for the observance cf the faith or order which they have embraced, because isolated quotations are made to fortify them, as they assert. ‘Wiien this association was first located here, some seven years since, quite an alarm was spread through this Christian region around for many miles.

Comparatively few travellers who visit this city are aware of its antiquarian relics. Antiquity shows itself in every part of the city and surrounding country. Every avenue ‘almost bears some visible marks of old age, either in one respect or another Some boast of mansion built after the style of ar- chitecture of the seventeenth century, which was occupied previous to the Revolution by our staunch old English sires. Others are here and there dotted with the dismal looking heads of an old 76, plant- ed, no doubt, for the purpose of reminding the pass- er by that these are the mementos and trophies of the chivalry and patriotism of'our American an- cestry, once in the possession of one of the oldest and most pewerful nations on the giobe, but wrest- ed from their grasp at the battle of Fort Moultrie, Among the most prominent of these ancient land- marks are St. Philip’s Church and the Post Office, ‘The former was erected for a place of worship in the year 1725, and is still devoted to that purpose: It has a superior chime of bells in the steeple, of English manofactare, which for tone ig unsurpassed by any in the United States. The same bells that chimed a jubilee after the completion of the edifice, A. D. 1725, rung # merry peal on the 4th instant im honor of the anniversary of our national birthday. To all ap" Pearances, this edifice looks as if it would stand eather for ages to come, But as it isin the icinity of a fine business locality, no doubt, o.e long, it will be numbered among the things that were—ita presence and the d on obliterated, groun made sacred by its ancient history, which it stands, will be- converted into some for business pur- poses. It is near Broad street, and Broad street stands in the same here as Wall street, in New York. Financiers are ever brought to bear upon it. Its destruction is table. These men will, undonbtedy, sooner or accomplish this is at present. Our Post Office in this re I am correctly informed, is the next oldest building in the city. Time has made sad havoc upen ite external appearance. In this building during ie war, and while the British were in the city, they occupied it for the of a court martial ; and here it was Col.

Such a state of affairs as this, has undoubtedly a strong tendency to injure mer- cantile confidence, and its effects may be seen here in this city. Already, many of the wholesale houses have adopted the cash trade, or city acceptances. The weather here, for the past week, has been quite cool, the mercury having only one day been up to 89 degrees in the shade, which is something unu- sual here at this date. Our markets are well stocked. Peaches have made their ied ayers quite plenty. Money market remains as tight as ever, and no re- laxation visible.
