The same mimic strife was afterwards repeated at five o’clock to an iner€ased namoer of anxious wit- nesses, and with, if possible, gieater effect. And a3 | the motley groups disbanded, und hastened towards | the Champs Ely+ées, to observe the decorative splea: | dors there ia process of preparation, it was easy to Perceive that the fall of Silistria had detracted nothing from their proverbial good humor, and | that they were weil di-posed to meet amusement | halfway. The Cham)s Evysées, soon after 12 | o'clock, gradually began to present one of those gay | and busy scenes which perhaps can be witnessed in no other place in the rid but ia Paris. The grace- | ful arches which, at night, were to be illumiuated, | were scarcely | attra tive and picturesque even by day; the variegated lines composing them were 80 harmonivusly blendet, that the eye, in spits of the repetition, was never tired ef restiag on them. The lustres, too, eveo before the lamps were fixed— if it be not a “ bull’ to call them suca—were so tastefully decorated that, seen poised on theic gar- land cordage by huncreds, they appeared like so many clustering constellations hovering in the air waiting to lend their I'ght to the happy scene be- low. Meanwhile, until night was ready to throw her sable mantle over this festive vortex, the air was redolent of all sorts of imaginable sounds, There were wild animals from the antipodes; there | ‘were fat «omen seven teet high, and little ones of two | feet; there were dentists who, in tie twinkling of an eye, would extract your teeth, or render the foulcst grinders whiter, s»eeter and stronger than the ele- bant’s ivory; there were men wh? pledged the'r lives make your gray bairs bla k; or if, unhappily you | were without any, be was ready to furnish you | with some charmed elixir able to call forth the locks of the unshorn Appollo—aye, even out of the very | stones of your threshbold. Beside an infinity of other extraordinary things, far too numerous to specify, there were impromptu restaurants, tables covered over with snow white .inen where the most Jucious dainties, fresh from the hand of some itinerant cordun blue, invited the gay loiterer to sit down aud make merry; an invitation which few were found to refuse, and perhaps, no more pleas- ing scene prese ated itself to the stranger, than that | of so many holiday folk refreshing their own inner man end that of their wives and little ones with a temperance and sobriety so orderly and exemplary. I could not, as an Anglo-Saxon, but have some doubts as to how my own race would have con- Aucted themselves in similar circumstances. By eight o’clock, every !smp was lit—an oc2upa- tion of 1orty minutes for 2,000 men. That I might have a gi coup d'@il ct t1e whole, I commeaced & promenade from the Arc de Triomphe, itselt only ially lighted, and leisurely descended the quarters of a mile which brougit ma witbin view of the Road Point. Though I was walking with a lady under my arm, amid a congress of many thousands of persons I cannot help saying that as respects order and gen- eral propriety of behavior, the best company at tae best palace tn the world could not have excelled them. High and low were mingled together on terms of equal reciprocity—the women of the latter clase dressed with a neatress and absence of pre- tension, contrgsting them very favorably with their gaudily atti AngloSsxon neighbors, andthe men clad in blouses, blue or white, models of cleanli- ness, often with their children on back or shoulder, | were aninteresting spectacle of themselves. Lus- | trous banners, desigued after the form of the ori- | flamme, were placed at intervals on each side of the broad avenue, at distances of twenty-five yards, | eeoh containing, probably, two hundred lamps, of | different colore. Inthe centre was the lester N. | Eaca side had one hunéred and fifty of these, and | they formed a species of pageant before approach- ing the chief encampment of illumination below. Gradnally the radiant haze—which, like a blazing meteor, reddening the whole heavens with its fiery beams, bad thus far led us on—began to assume something like abape and similitude. The predom- inant feature was the globe, of which I spoke in my last; @ third of it only appears. Its diameter was probably twenty yards. On the zodiac stood an enormous eagle, with outspread wings. Tae color of the ephere was ethereal blue, studded with bla- zing planets, and it formed the centre of the Rond Pe acircle trom which branches off the two of the avenue, the one leading straight the triumphal arch; the other, in the game direction, to the Place de la Concorde. This circle bas ja diameter of about 100 yards, and its circumference on this occasion was a luminous line, consisting of a species of castellated Moorish | trellis-work, divided and supported by 18 feet high, by the same distance a; Two beautifal perhaps of 60 feet in height—interrapted the circle, where the avenue com! ing from the triamphal arch, effects an entrance. Teo colossal faroh ways, like the casties of Aladdin, did tho same for the other side, leading to the Place de la Con- ; and the eye of the spectator was thus intro- juced to the long line of lesser arches, which, through the Place, led to the gardens of the T pearls. The chuicest flowers tilled the gardens, and as each partue was illuminei by the soft lights shove, our half scorcsed eylids willingly reposed on the varied tints which blossom and verdure spread hejcre them. In fiont of the palace of the Tuileries, fi d by gurgling fountains, orange trees, ana forest of tall Hag stofls and banners, stood a graceful vaprompru, pavilion or temple, in which was installed an immense body of musical artistes. Its form was almost octagon, aad it occupied the centre of a marble besin, whose waters flowed around pcseible to attempt to do justice to this elegant structure, itself ore ot the many extraordiaary ex- smples of the wenderfal taste and ingenuity the French, above all otber nations, can bring to bear on such occasions, base of reddish brown, were tie colors; pict the symmetrical pee classic vases of flowert—the plumes of varied lamps—the mossy banke—the silver steps, round whicn sported ao Many gold-spotted denizens of the water, is more than I dure cesuy; this, however, I may affirm, that ofiskind, it was the cynosure and chef d’ouvre of the festival. By ten o’clock the company began to disperse, and by twelve all had faded away like a midsummer night’s dream. Te Empero:’s absence is best explained by his reply to the Bishop of Bayonve’s addreas: “Custom has willed it,” he says, “monseigueur, that there stould be one day in the year for every nation to celebrate the /éte of its sovereign. Ia pursuance of this general manifestation, and of the prayers which are addressed to beaven througooat the whole of France, it is the duty of the sovereign ia his turn to deliver himse!f up to a strict self examination, in order to ascertain whether he bas done everytaing that depenced on him to merit this concert of good wishes and marks of respect. It is his duty, above all, to vome to the foot of tho altar to implo:e ut to de- ters of religion, to biess his efforts, to enlighten bis conscience, and to give him constantly strength to | do good. “My “ge nee on this day at Bayonne is a fact which 1 mention with pleasure, for it proves that France, cuim and happy, uo longer feels any of those apprehensions which oblige the head of the State to be always armed, and on the gui vive, ia the capital; and it proves thst France can support a distant war without her internal life ceasing to be free and regular.” _ It is decided that eight millions of francs shall be sorted in payment of Napoleon the First’s lega- ClEB;-— 1.

There is nota house in Silistria that bas not re- ceived two or three balls. The siege was really directed against three detached redoubts, that of Arab Tabia being the principal.

Two artillerymen who had named officers, refused the honor, not to leave their pieces.

He is called upon | to give Ee all the _privil and treaties secuning to Ruasia a protectorate over Moldavia, Wallactia, and Servia, sume of which have existed since 1774 and 1779—to open the navigation of the Danube to ite months, on the general principle es- | tablished by the Congress of Vienna, and without distinction a3 to the territory through which the | river flows—to consent to a revision of the conven- tion of July. 1841, in the sense of a limitation of his own power in the Black Sea— and, lastly, to re. | nounce that protectorate of the Christians in Tur- | | key, which formed tke subject of the Menschikoff mission.

(Madrid (sug 12) Correspondence of London Times.] The Madrid Gazette ot tbe 12th contains the fol- lowing addiess to the Queen from the Council of Ministers, dated the 11th :— Madeire—In the critical days which preceded the com- plete triumph of the glorious national insurrection, the | populations greeted with enthusiasm the convocation of | the Constituent Cortes as the best and sole remedy in the perp'exed situation to which they were reduced: Contemporary history had indicated ‘hat mosaure to them as the best in difficult and perilous crises. Ths Consti- | turnt Cortes have raved independence and the dynasty, while, at the samo time, they have supported liberty in sec. réarce with the principleset the century. The Con- stituent Cortes in 1937 saved the dynasty, supported the throne of your Majesty, and established it on the wide beses of public liberty and the love of Spaniar Constituent Cortes will, no doubt, be in 1854-8 between the throne and the people, between itberty and the dynasty, objects which cannot be discussed, points on wh'ch the government admits neither doubt nor dis- | pute. Your Majecty, with your h’gh penetration, under- stood this when you solemnly announced tae convoca- tion of Cortes to all Spain, and approved the programme which serves as a guide to yourresponsiole Ministers. The Ministers would fail in their duty if they were not to hasten to propose to your Majesty tho oonvocation of the O nsti- tuent Cortes, in order to secure once for all the represen- tative form of government, with all its legitimate con- quests, Eut, defore the appeal to the country can be mado, questions, which are grave in themselves, and of which the sqlrtion is delicate, have arisen. The Council of Ministers bas examined them in every aspect, and it propores to your Majesty to solve them in tne way the best adapted to the public interests. The first of these questions is whether the Cortes shall be composed rolely of the Congress of Deputies, or whether the Senate shall remain a co legislative b dz in the drawing up of anew constitution. The Ministers are far from doubting the patriotiem and loftyervices rendered by the Senate at a | very recent period ; they admit, on the contrary, that | | this institution dererves well of the country, and that to. | it itowes the principle of political regeneration which | has been completed by the population and the army.— | But they caanot forget that grave conflicts may arise | from two legislative bodise, equal in power, being engug- | ed in drawing up a constitution. It is susy at present to | | foresee suck conflicts, amd, if they were not prevented in good time, they would give rise to deplorable complica- tiors, Acgordingly the Council of Ministers thinks it | right to. propose to your Majesty the convocation solely of the Congress of Deputies. In this manner it | pays a just tribute of respect to our historical pre- | cedents, the Cortes which drew up the constitutions It of 1812 and 1837 baving been only one body. | endeavours to obtain the veritable and feithful e: pression of the public sentiment, by suspending t) particication in legislative funetions of a Chamber ial interests; and hig tiene take part it s@ acts that only your Mvjesty and the | through their legitimate representatives, wii | in dsawing up the compact between the nation and the | | thzone. the notte confidence which your Majesty places | inthe persons charged with the dizection of public af- Tg Will be properly appreciated by a magnauimous and generous pation. The Cooncil of Ministers dove not, how- ever, at present put forth au opinion on the rerious ques- tho whether the legislative | ateh aceording to the new fundamental Jaw, shall consist of one or two It confines itself to ssying that what it thinks ne y to recommend to your jeaty relative to the Constitu ent Cortes does not in any way diminish its —— of pro- poaing whet it may think proper ae to the orgar {zation of the ordinary Cortes ‘Ibis point remains completely in tact for the fermation of the constitution. The system to be followed in tho election of deputies is alao anotter of the «cxious questions which has been examined in the Council of Ministers. The law of March 18, 1846, pro- duced disastrous results. A}l ite defects have been shown by the touchstone of experience, and it wonld be neither politic nor opportune to proceed to the new elections ac- cording to that law. The government of your Majesty has not thought that in an afiair of such importance itought to follow its.oen inspirations; it has sought amon; the clectorel lows parsed by the Cortes for tha’ which oppeared to it most preferable; it is that of the 20h uly, 1837, which gives the greatest extension to the suffrage. It contributes to give to the Parliame:t a more decided political character; and it will prevent | great general interests from being stifled by the narrow | views of localities, of coteries, or of families. But, in | adopting this law. the government {a of opinion that it | ought pot to reject two useful reforms introduced into that of 184¢—namels, the most impartial mode of com- posing the clectoral lists, and the election of a greater number of deputies. The importence of this increase is ovisent, if it be considered that it isa Constituent Jortes | which will be conveked, which wiil only be composed otf tho Congress. In thie manner ol! the political interests of the country will fare in it, and ali interests and ail | opiniens be therein repre:ented. The election of saver- numerary deputies frequently causes those to appear in the first line who were intended by tho electors to bo | only in the second. ‘The Council of Ministers has, there- | fore, Cecided to propose tha! oaly titulery deputies shall Yonemed.

De'esting, as we do, all absclute government, and distrusting all unli- mited power, despotic authority is never so un- Bey Pirlo! and so destructive as when it is exer- cised by a popular bedy, elected by the passions rather than by the deliberate choice of an excited nation, The very terms in which this Asseu- bly is convened exclude the recognition of the erson of the Sovereign. The government is at this mo- ment in the hands of the Queen’s ministers. Du- ring the nex; three months, it the present Cabinet holds together £0 long, it is to be carried on in the Queen’s name; but at the expiration of tuat term the whole compact between the sovereign and the natica is to revised by superior Se: These are contradictions utterly irreconcileable with the first principles of monarchical govern- m.nt. We €o not dispute the right of the Spanish nation, if they think tit, to depose their Sovereign, or to change the dyuasty upon sufficient grounds; but to keep the Queen upon the tbrone, to have an army snd & government in her service, ard to issue decrees in her name, solely for the purpose of de- grading herself, and of bringing her mother to jus- | tice, are acts which Europe has not before wit- nessed. As long as this state of things continues, and the country is agitated by the elections of this extra- ordinary A+sembiy and the apprebension of what liea beyond them, it is vain to hope for any restora- tion of tranquiliity or order. Ihe admiuistration itself must be carried on in the midst of anarchy, higbly injurious to the finaccial and military re- sources of the kingdom, and even the public pease will be frequently disturted. Ia Catalonia General Concha bas endeavored to form the nucleus of an army,and about 20,000 men appear to obey his orders in that provinee. But even the disvipline of these troops has not been exemplary. Ip one regi- ment two of the officers were shot by their own | men, end a collision with the people was narrowly prevented. At Tortosa more violent scenes have stokep place, and one of the local authorities was } murdered by the populace. The adherents of the go- vernment attempt to present these facts" under a | more favorable aspect, and nothing is more common than to be told, when a country is in the paroxyamsof revolution, that confidence and order are evringing up om every side. That is precisely ths laqguage we izvariably received trom informants in Paris in 1848 and 1849. Bot whoevet will consider the present state of Spain will perceive that there is nothing to justify any confidencs at all. The events which have lately occurred are not a change of Ministry or of party, bat a revolution in tue State, and, as yet, an incomplete revolution. It is known that the agents of disorder are at work; it is known that the rights of the crown are self-an- nulted, that the army is by no means united, and that the Ministers bave as yet done little or oe toresume the authority their predecessors abused and forfeited. They are for‘unately still popular, and O'Donnell obtains credit fcr operation with Espartero. They cannot intend to lew the present state of the country to continue, and to comnive at the suspension of ali legal govern- ment. But uleady their consent to Queen Chris- tina’s trial and the convocation of a Constituent Assembly have alarmed the more moderate section of their supporters, and until it is seen that they have strength to resist the demands of the juntas, baoked by the populace, we can place no reliance on their policy or their success. The Greytown Bombserdment and the Pacific mallway. ind the London Chronicle, Aug. 18.] We published yesterday the fuller details which have recently arrived as to the outrage committed by Captain Hollins ‘at Greytown, or San Juan, jicaragua. By a coincidenve, which we trust is not to he regarded as ominous, we also mentioned, 8s & piece of American news, that “the steamer Frenkiin, wrecked on Long Island, is now high and dry at low water, and bardly a hope is entertained that she can be saved.” Unquestionably, if the destroyer of Greytown is the scrt of hero whom the citizens of the United States in the present day delight to honor, it will be well aon Debt ehh? bears bats name of pal ou! as speedil; otten a8 possible. The enlightened and Hoare principles which that distinguished statesman so ardently cher ished, and so strenuously labored to incalcate on his fellow countrymen, are, we fear, fast losing their influence; and, however s:rong may be the pro- tests of the more respectable portion the Ameri- can people, it is too probable that Ca Hollins will achieve, by his recent exploit, the honor of being consicered as, next to General Lopez, “the most re- markable man of the age.’” In justice to this doughty bestow due attention upon the origin of the war, aa ‘well as upon the triumphant successes by which ithas been, for tLe present, terminated. Divesting our- selves, therefore, asfar as possible, of the national jealousy which might tempt us to undervalue a vic- tory unpsralleled in the naval history of E: . ‘we will ¢pdeavor to give an impartial account of the trepraction in which he has been engaged. It appears that, is some quarrel which took place a. Greytown two or thee months ago, an Ame- rican captain killed a native of the place. Which party was the aggressor is at present doudtfal; and upbappily bo infererce on this can be drawn from ‘he fact that Mr. Borland, the representative of the Washington Cabinet, prom; tly interfered to screon bis fellow<ituzen from thes jicial proceeding insti- voted by te local suthorit es. In a tumult which erenrd, some affront was offered to the dignity of the Minister, and Captain Hollins was c nsequently ee os genta) in command of the Cyane sloop-of war, with instructions to procure full satisfaction for the inenit. There can be little doubt tbat he was alo expressly authorized, in case of non-compliance with bis demand, to p:oceed to extremities. At any rate, such was the construction which be put upon his orders, and a negativeanswer having been re- turned to his requisition, he resorted, without scru- ple, to the u/tima ratio of bombardment. it may easily be conceived that the town, which consisted principally of mud cot and palm leaf huts, was not in a condition to any resistance and £0, after six hours’ firing, the assailants ach a successful landing, and burned to ashes all that shot and shell had sparcd. It is fair to add that stesmers belonging to the American Transit Com- pany had been previowdy sent in toc such of the residents as were willing to quit their habita- tions, and that, if the accounts are Ge ohsn bee lives were ultimately sacrificed.
