At six o'clock there were about one hundred people gathered in groups near the desolate-looking platform: * These people were apparently loungers, wiihout much interest in the proceedings of the meeting. Our reporters could not discover in this “masa” any of the distinguished individuals whose _ name appear in the above call. At a little past six, the “crowd” had increased to a8 many as two hundred and fifty men and boys— the juvenile politicians mustering in strong force— andthe Itttle group of managers arrived at the con- clasion that there were cnough “ masses” to call * to’order, which was done by Mr. E. B. Child, who, without further parley, nominated the following list of officers, which were carried—if silence gives consent—nobody voting either way upon them :-- PRESIDENT, W. B. WEVGEWOOD, E°Q..

Bona Mr. Carip esid he would now introduce Mr. Wedgewood—but that genticman did not come for- ward; when Mr. Josrru Biunr was introduced. ‘The “ mses” at this time had increared to some five hundred souls. . Mr. Biowr came forward and said—If I consulted my own inclinations to-day I should not take part ia these proceedings; but at this season of the year, when many of those who feel as I do upon the sub- ject, are absent from tlie city, I feel that a sense of duty will not permit me to decline. Some months since, when, unexpected to any person in the Nor‘h- ern States, and hardly any in the Southern States, the propesition was made in Washington—that the ise made ander the aus] of the la- mented Heory Clay, with the desire of nine-tenths of the re; ves of the Sonth—a compromise relutandiy assented to by the North—that slavery should be tolerated south of the southern boundary of a re — not men rm me a poe boun- dary— when @ proposition compro- mise, plies venien to; 80 faithfully ob- terved by the North, was to be made for ita repeal, it was decmed 9 thing incredible. Hardly a person in the United States thonght it could be done as it was—s0 flagrant abreach of faith it was not sup- posed could be witnessed in this age, and more €1 when prompted by men who prided ives on their sense of «bivalry. But, fellow- citizens, with a view of expressing our sentiments on that subject, the citizens of New York--a city ail perta ot the ‘country, and especially” with the of the country, and o¥ ly wit! South —a city whose ‘ iababitants ave alwa: shown themselves willing, nav, earnestly willing, maintain all the just constitutional ts of the people inbabiting that part of the Union—the citi- zens of this city, indignant at sucha jatod breach of faith, me: and warned the th: it that breach of faith was consummated might find no friewds. at tue North hereafier, except to maintain those compromises enjoined by the constitation. But disregarding that warning, they have gone on in their course, while it was re- iterated by all classes—tirst by toe merchants of the by men wio had no interest in any- thine? but the’ maintenance of principle.

That having exerted ourselves to the ut- most to prevent its passage, while we regard with in- dignant an act £0 injurious to the national charac- ter, we cheerfully acco >t the issue which it forces upon the free States. That ¥e will not scor forget the lesson it has taught us, but will henceforth guard our rights, | with smell reliance upon thgbonor of men who seduce our ip gape from their allegisnoe, who trample at upen ‘and keep not faith. | “FRechiveds That at th | questions at the present time we regard all other as of leaser moment, when compared with the question of slavery, in the faitvless and aggressive char- acter it has pow assumed ; that the slave r, abetted by an administration acting m defiance of the people's will, is devoting the resources of the general govern: ment to foster, extend, ant perpetuate a Recseg which sueribees the rights of rmiilions of free cicizens, native and@edopted, both at the North and at the South, to sab- serve the interests of a rection and » olass ; and that it is the duty of ai] true citizens who Value the conatitu- tional freccom intended to be established by thefederal Unicn, not only te ceclore, but to make the declaration geod, that freedom, snd not blavery, shall henceforth di- rect the destinies of the country.

Resoived, That the just indignation which now per- vad«s the country at the bad faith of the Nebraska bill if embodiec.in united action, would at once accomplish the rescue of the national government from the contrd of sho slave power, and ite restoration to the just policy of its founders, and that we trust the Saratoga conven. tion, acting in a spirit of conciliation and concession will te able to accomplish so desirable an object. Resolved, That whilst these Northern members of Congress who voted against the perpetration of tie Ne- braaka fraud, in discharge of a cleat duty to their oon- stituents, are entitled to the meed of praisg always due to “good and fuithful servante,” we yet feel that thanks, full, clear and explicit, are the right(ul tribute to the small band of Southern gentlemen who overlooking the apparent temporary interests of their constituents, spurring the Plandisbments of Executive power, and at the risk of their own political position, voted for the sight, leaving the reeult to their country and their Ge Resolved, That the delegates now appointed be fur- niebed with a copy of these resolutions, and requested to lay the same before the Convention, and that the ex ecutive committee, under whose direction the meeting bas been called, be instructed and empowered to fill any vacancies occurring in the list of delegates, and to fur- uiah the subtsitutes with proper credentials. Before the foregoing resolutions were put to the meeting, a gentleman, who gave his name as E. P. Cxuips, came forward, and amid great confasion and opporition on the part of those who got up the meeting, read the following:— Resolved, That while we are opposed to the 1 of the Biissouri compromise and to the Nebraska-Kansas measure as it passed our last Congress, we are equally opposed to the organization of a political party on entire- ly sectional grounds. Resolved, That we repudiate the convention called to mneet at Saratoga, on the 16th of this month,asa trick to advance the political interests of ce:tain men at the ex- pence of the principles and interests of better men Resolved, That we deem it inexpedient to send dele- gates to the said Saratoga convention. Mr. B. N.

A Voick—1 call for a division. The Prestwent—A division is called for. All in favor will say “aye.” “Aye, aye, aye,” cried ont at least half the meet- ing, while the other bal’ rcared out as loud as their lungs would Jet them in the negative. ¢ Presipent, under the immediate pressure of the anti-Nebraska men around him, declared the substitute r+jected, and then put the original reso- lutions, which were, according to the same rule, de- cided to have heen adopted, L. W. Ryceman, Esq., was then introduced to the meeting, and proceeded to speak as follows:—Upon this occasion, said be, it gives me great pleasure to address freemen who are bound by no compromises to violate the dictates of their consciences. The spirit of ‘76 bas a fair chance now to vibrate in its strengest pulsations in all oor hearts.

After the meeting was declared adjourned, some two hundred hung around the platform till 9 o'clock at night, amusing themselves discussing various questions in regard to the meeting, slavery, Nebraska, &c. One man‘attempted to mount the platform to speak, but was prevented by another, stationed thereon, who said he was one of the Com- mittee of Arrangements, had paid $25 for the stand, and was to return-the timber to the owner. He would allow no one upon the stand to — , for fear it would lead to a row, and the platform be demolished.

OUR PUERTO CABELLO CORRESPONDENCE. Puerto Casei.o, July 21, 1854. The Progress of the Revolution. This country is at present in a state of alarm and agitation; many important towns and the whole province of Barquisimeto, have declared in favor of the revolution, and against the existing govern- ment, at the head of whichiis General José Gregorio Monagas. All business is completely paralyzed, and the government is without the means necessary oqguell the rebellion, The authorities here have commenced persecuting several important persons who are suspected of being concerned in the revola- tion, and the consequence has been that many of them have concealed themselves, and others have fied and joined the insurgent forces; among the atter is Senor Miguel Herrera, a talented and infla- ential person, who had held a place in the cabinet of former administrations. The goverament, aware of its present positicn, has had recourse to a forced enlisting of men, and we have witnessed here with in the last fow days, the farce of seizing and bind- ing the future defenders of the government, to com- rel them to join the ranks of the forces to be em- ployed against the revolutionized provinces of Coro and Barqnisimeto. A few days since, we received positive information that Senor Miguel Her- rera. was at the town of El Baul, an important place, which has also pronounced against the goverment; it is the key to tho Uanos, or plains, and can easily furnish a large force of caval- ry. Colovel Juan Garces still holds the province of Coro, where be is collecting his forces to march against Barquisimeto. Should he succeed in reach- ing the latter place, and nothing now appears to Prevent it, be will be at the head ora considerable amy, compesed both of infantry aud horse, in a populous prov-ure, abounding in resources, and Le may then be said to be in the heart of the republic, and in a position to invade important districts leading to the very capital. A single engagement may now decide the fute of the administration, as the discontent is general and spreading; while, on the other hand, # reverse or check occurring to the insurgents will only serve to ‘prolong the struggle for some time. Such is the position of this eoun- tiy at present. The Cl © Grapeshot Again. (From the New Orleane Delta, Angnst 2.] The Grapeshot, beavily armed, under Captain Boxter, cleared yesterday in a sudden and myste- riens mavner. She had been anchored off the mouth of the river for the last two months, during alt of which time her astate and active captain has been moving about our city and neighborhood in @ manner to excite much curiosity and some alarm. One evidence of this was sfforded by the Spanish Consul, who dispatched vessel aud mes- senger to Cubs, immeciately on the arrival of the Grapeshot, and bas made her the subject of several subsequent communications. We hear it whispered that a fast echoover has already been chartered, by the same vigilant oficial, to proceed immediately to Havana to caution the anthorities there to be 0 the lock-ont for the Gray » No donbt the sai schooner will get there by the time tte Crapesho Shot has made the circuit of the island and accor plished her miseien, which is doubtless one of im menge importance to Cuba, and to the cause o freedom. e are others, however, who ictimate tha‘ D axter’s sudden departure is connected wita the arrival of the special Russian ambassador ia New York.

A blow ought to be struck before the winter season. Every hour's delay is am hour’s gain tothe Czar. The recent debate evinces that England is getting disgusted at the want of energy displayed, We learn by telegraph that 8,000 troops have been shipped to Batoum, and there pre- vails @ general opinion that Bebastopo! will shortly he attacked by sea and land. Every moil from the Baltic is expected to bring the news of the bombard ment of Bomarsund and the occapation of the Aland Islands. On Tuesday night Lord Dudley Stuart proposed an amendment to the addreas respecting the vote of £3,000,000 for the war. He expressed digsatia- faction at the equivocations of Lord John Russell, propored that the majority should be graciously re- quested not to prorogue Parliament tiil- more cate- gorical explanations should bave been given to the house respecting the state of our foreign relations, A statesmanlike answer from Sidney Herbert, a re- ply from Lord John, an attack upom Aberdeen by the opposition member, and a debate of five hours duration, threw no new light upon the questies. The amendment was rejected without a division, and the original vote of the three miliions and a@ dress adopted. ' The bill for preventing participation in the Rus- sian loan has been taken into consideration,by a vote of 77 against 44. Lord Palmerston maintained thet without the bill the law against high treason woul@ beadead letter. It was not a question of money, but of national honor. No day has as yet been fixed for the prorogation of Parliament. ‘The insurrection in Spain is everywhere triumph- ant. Madrid is reported tranquil at the last dates received.

Louis Nopoleon has ordered a camp of 6,000 men to be immediately formed at Bayoune.. On Wea- nesday he paid a personal visit to that city, wistdls isonly a short distance from the baths of Biarits, where be and the Empress are now staying. A movement in favor of the Dachess of Montpensier wou!d not be tolerated by Louis Napoleon. It woula be the last act of the celebrated play of the Spaniala marriages. The disturbances at Parma have been put down. A permanent council of war is sitting at Turin. Some of the rioters have been shot by court martial. By the overlazd mail we have Melbourne and Sydney papers to the end of May. The declaration of war against Russia had caused considerable ex- citement there. Rifle brigades were being formed. The English squadron in the Chinese seas was anxiously looking ont for the Pallas Russiam frigate and other Rassian cruizers. If they Gn@ them they will attack them. From Turin we learn that the telegraphic aub- marine wires have been successfully laid betweem the Gulf of Spezia, on the main‘land, and the islands of Sardinia and Corsica.

I subjoin the following extract from the last let tet of the -Vienna correspondent of the Morning Chronicle. His information is generally correct, though with an Austrian bias. Itis dated Vienna 24th July:— ‘Two days since, I informed yon that the position of Austria in the present war would very soon be fully and sat sfactorily cleared up. This view of the present aspect of affairs ise stron, confirmed ey e latest orders issced by ‘General Heas, the Commander ia-Chisf of the Austrian forces on the north eastern frontiers of the empire. It has just been reliably communicated to me, that, wit: the exception of the 12th infantry corps, all the troaps concentrated in Transylvania, have been ordered to march into the Rukowina.
