THE GREYTOWN BOMBARDMEN('—THE CASE OF THE FRENCH CONSUL AT SaN FRANCIS O—DESPATCHES | FROM CHINA—-THE DIFFICULTY WITH SPAIN—A | BITTER PILL FROM MAINE. ‘Wasuinerom, Sept 19, 1854. Lord Clarendon’s despatch about the Greytown bom- ‘Dardment has been commuuicated to Mr. Marcy by Mr. Crampton. It is very mild, and will acarcely call for any sharp rejoinder. England sppears to have her hands s0 fall in the East that she is more than usually polite to us. Mr. Marcy has sent a long despatch to the French go- Vernment about Dillon, the Frencn Consul at San Fran- cisco. It is very severe on the Consul’s conduct, and fully sustains the action of the American govermnent. Important despatches have been received f:om China, represerenting the unsettled condition of affeirs there, ‘and the danger of injury to American commerce from the ‘lawlessness of all parties. Mr. McLane will probably be instructed to remain perfectly neutral, and recogaze any de facto government which he may find It is the opinion of the diplomatic corps generally, here, that further difficulties with spain are to be sp- prehended. General Pierce is quite nervous on the ‘eubject. ‘The late elections in Maine have greatly alarmed the President. So anxious was the Administration to insure -@n endorsement from that State, that ex-governor An- derson, Commissioner of Customs, was sent cn there to Tegulate the matter. His success has scarcely warranted the trouble and expense. #rom the East, ‘MAINE ELEOTION--FIRE IN CANTON (MA8S.)—AQCI- DENT AND LOSS OF LIFE ON THE FALL RIVER BAILEOAD, ETC. Boston, Sept. 19, 1854.

POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE. The New York Whig State Convention. PROGNOSTICATIONS OF THE PROBABILITIES —OAU- CUSES AND SEGARS—THUBLOW WHRED’s PRO- GEAMME, BTC. Synacoss, Sept. 19—7 P. M. The Whig Convention promises to be lively. The Seward men will have itall theirown way. Out ofa list of one hundred and fifteen delegates, only about twenty are silvergrays. Several hundred outsiders have already arrived, and nearly all the delegates are here. Thurlow Weed is busy. Judge Ira Harrie is his man | for Governor, though Geo. N. Patterson, of Chatauque, itis thought, has a better chance The Know Nothing candidates cannot vin The Seward men prefer the fusicn, Doige, end look to Auburn for an endorsement of their ticket. Street rumors say that Fitzhugh cannot win for Canal Commissioner—A H. Williams wants it. About half of the forty candidates for Governor are here. Raymond wants to be Lieutenant, but unless Patterson or some other Western man is nominated for Governor, his chances is worse than nothing. Several informal caucuses, with wine and segars as aida, are now being held at the Globe Hotel. Bavy vast Exaut 0’ Crock, P. M. Weed has given up the Globe Hotel to Kit Morgyn, Raymond, and others, of the lobby, so they may not ap pear to be acting in cenrert with them. The New York ¢rs are very indignant at Tharlow, and my that this year he will not have his own way. They hope to get the votes of the Eastern counties for Savage. ‘Tne Jast rumor is that we shall have some Know No things on the ticket, and a sop for them in resolu- tions—also a bid for the anti-Nebraska men at Auburn next week, and a delicate advance towards the Muine lawites. Spalding, of Erie, has a good show for the Governor’s place on the ticket. : The New York delegation is now in caucus, and they will unite on favage. Weed and the lobby keep apart from the public view, in order that they may act more effectively in private. It seems now that Weed will beat, as he bas tact anda working majority. His first choice is Patterson for Governor, and Raymond for Lieutenant Governor. ‘There is an ominous stiliness in the political atmos- phere, and it might presage storm; but the Seward men say the silver grays have not moral courage enough to kick up a row. Twetvs O’Crock, P. M. Thurlow Weed bas been hard at work, and is in strong opposition to Spaulding. He is playing off George W. Patterson, of Chautauque, against him. A secret caucus has been held, and is just over. In this it was arranged that Hellis White, who is alternate for a delegate, shall be temporary chairman, and Dr. Ellsworth, who is also an alternate, isto be permanent president. There are rumors that Weed is willing to yield the Governor for the sake of securing the Lieutenant-Governor and Canal Boerd.

The members of the Free Democracy and the Demo- cratic Lesgue, assembled fast night at No. 369 Broad- way, in accordance with the cail, to nominate delegates to the State Convention which is to assemble at Auburn on the 25th. As the occasion was one of considerable importance a full attendance was anticipated; but, strange to say, the whole number present did not exceed two dozen persons. The meeting was called to order at 8 o'clock, and John Jay was appointed President, H. B, Dawson officiating as Secretary.

During twenty one yesrs of the trials insident to a sea life, I have not before met a gale of greater severity, and in no instence have I known the wind to blow a hur: ricaxe gale for 80 maay consecutive hours. The consequence was, that the good Atlantic had to contend ag-inst @ cross sea of the most ‘ing charac- ter, and the present condition of her disabl wheelhouse, (though not in any way en the sefety of the ship.

The Czar refuses tho in- terference of Austria; and it would appear from the London Times that he unconditionally refuses to evacu- ate the Turkish territory. He also returns an absclate refusal to the late terms offered by the four Powers. There is xo later news from As‘s. The inte} igence is confirmed that the Austrisn aud Swedish Ambassadors will seon leave St. Petersbarg. ‘The Jast Paris Moniteur has tho following:—Geaeral Ben skendorff has arrived at Putbus, as the bearer of s despatch from the Emperor of Russia to the King of Prfocording to acoounts from Constantinople of the 25th of August, the artillery had embarked at Varna, and the troops were preparing to embark. The Spitfire and Sidon had destroyed the barricades raised by the Ruesians to impede the navigation of the Danude at Sulins.

The Berlin correspondent of the London 7imes, writia on September 2, says :—According to all accounts the cholera is working its deadly task as actively at Bomar sund as at Varna. Some accounts mention that the French bave already lost 600 men on Aland. Otber ac ecunts mention s loss of from thirty to forty daily, without saying whether this includes the deaths an board the fleets. One of the results of the presence of th> cholera at Aland is, that the authorities at Dantsic (and it is to be presumed, those of the other Baltic ports will soon follow their example) have ordained that al) vessois coming from these waters shall perform quarantine, un lees more than four days from there, and with no sick on board. This arrangement will materially interfere with the convenience of getting coals and provisions on board the numerous vessels that arrive there for that purpose from the combined fleets. wrenponent of the London News, writing from St. Pe _ burg, om 24th of August, says:—I regret to have to announce two terrible in this ety, conflagrations which commenced yesterday afternoon and are not ye! neg mee Soe ine themselves out way to burn bere bers vot 80, some 200, honses, an wi a ‘ property | the extent of nearly £00,000 silver roubles, are supposed to be destroyed, partly The other Forty destroyed is large, but in value. raat balog prin Spall bones intondes for shipment broad.’ Montenegro, on, the suthorty of loters of the 2st fidence Ie tern pb ; and our private or fi Cettings, is i ul; though ree) vi us how Thug tals Cranqublite fill lage ta a quedtiog, The party ttrong is the expectation that the new government feuds are at it at rest.

In @ letter from London published in your journal of Aug. 22,1 am represented as having given my hearty sanction to the prozramane of the already much discussed Peabody Fourth of July dirner. Whilet I did rot feel called upon to protest against the order of the proceedings, I don’t choose to be repre- sented as » I wae not consulted either by the legation or by Mr. Peabody, and am responsible only for being present of an entertsinment which was perfect- Jy in scoordence with the antecedents of the host. Thad, it is true, uznsted, suggested to Mr. Peabody the following order of seatiments for the national festival under his auspices. But as they were not accepted, I them eubstantially, for the evening entertain- ment at my own house. . Ist. The Fourth of July, 1176. 24. The Constitution of the United States. 3d The Herors and Statesmen of our Kevolution. + 4th. The Sovereign People of the United States. After the tribute due to the character of our inetita- tions and the memories of our national origin, I was in- different to the order of what might follow. But, as a matter of foe Hang at a diuuer where a laige number of liberal Englishmen were pre: snt—a feature of the enter- tainment which, asa happy mode of starting republican the: ghts in the British mind, met my warm approval—1 1. athe ‘Sovereign of Great Britain’ would have, » da entire propriety. followea the “‘Sovereiga Citizens,” the Queen holcing ihe same relation to the British na tion as the citizens of the United Siates to the gpoat republic of Ameriaa, while the President is only the first officer of the sovereign citizens.

Tregret very much that any bad feeling should have Eo. out of this one of Mr. Peabody's many hospitable international entertainments. Iam satisfied that what- ever errors of judgment may have been committed, his desize was to promote good will between the people of the two count . The proceecings at the dinner would not in themselves, probably, have provoked reproving criticism.

With what emotion will ths author indite the first leaves of his book—how graphi- cally will he glance at the winding up of that great war, ending in the imprisonment of its hero. in # lone, inhos- pitable island, in the far, far Atlantic—how will he point to the strange peace that followed, whose tranquillity was that of bondage, and whose nightmare-sleep was bro- ken by the clank of chains—and how will he trace the singular carcer of one, the incarnation of the spirit ‘of silence, whc—deepised, and mocied, and scorned, de- feated, exiled ard imprisoned for more than a lustrum, as if, ty the wand of a necromancer, suddenly bursts before the “byes of the aifrighted kings, and ia the name of his martyred aacestor summoned ali Europ. tolisien to his word; and as the reader scans page after page, and observes the dromatic exit of Louis Philippe, the rise of the second republic, ite struggles, jealousies, and final extinction—when, by its military occupatioa of Rome and the mission of Lavalette at Constantinople, it had blindly made way for the gume its despised Presi dent was 30 wonderfally to follow out—Le will perhaps think that the world must have been very deficient in discernment not to have foreseen so natural a course of things Inthe meantime, you and I must be content with living this marvellous history, and conjecturin; as we may, its future moves, its present phase strange contrasts and contradictions. At this very mo. ment there is full cecupation for our minds. It is clear that Russia does net intend to have anything to do with the late propositions which have been msde to her. Count Benckendorff, as we learn from Berlin, reached Pathas on the ist inst., and inform- ed the King of Prussia that tho Ozar entirely repudiated them. Sweden recoils from the dangerous present of Bomarsund. Austria conceives she has done enovgh by the occupation of the Principalities, end there is an ominous sound from the shores of the East that the great expedition cannot take place this year. The last accounts inform us that Marshal St. Arnaud was then holding a council of war as to the feasibility, under the state of suffering which cholera and fever had sub- jected the army to, of attempting any attack on the Crimea this season, and the common opinion seems to be that no euch ventare will be made. Should it be 20 ce it's quite impossible to overestimate the oom- that may arise. Tho old proverb about the un- fortonate canine once getting a bad name will be moat essentially illustrated in the of Lord Aberdeen.
