Nye, from Liverpool, arrived at her dock about seven o’clock this morning. The Pacific arrived out at Liverpool ten minutes to two o’clock on the afternoon of Sunday the 13th. She left Liverpool on Saturday noon the 19th instant. The P, brought one hundred and thirty: five passen- gers, among whom we notice the names of Mr. Robert McLane, the American Commissioner to China, and Mr. J. Caverly Hall, of Cherry Valley, an American mil- lionsire froma Australis, who bas made a fortune by keeping a hotel in Melbourne on the Australian plan. The St. Louis arrived off Cowes noon of Friday, the 18th, and proceeded to Havre, The news brought by the Pacific, alshough not of de- cisive importance, is of varied interest. The of Sebastopol was progressing very slowly indeed, and as the telegraph was in the hands of the government ex- clusively, it wag diflcult to decide from the imperfect hints eupplied whether the besiegers or besieged gaiaed the most advantage. Symptoms have transpired of extended operations be ing about to commence on the part of theallies. A force of 15,000 Tarks, French and English hastily embarked on board alffthe available ships near Sebastopol, and ato! ‘away in the direction of the Seaof Azoff. In a day ortw> they returned and as hastily disembarked, Omer Pacha and his Turks making all speed toensconce themselves egain in Eupatoris. The French government was in possession of telegra- phic accounts from the Crim: ting that there had een heavy rains for some day: e trenches were fall of water, snd operations, for the mpment, were impos- sible. Reinforcements were still waited for. General Conrobert had reviewed the entire French army, and assured them he would soon enter Sebastopol by either the door or window; but he afterwards re- signed the command in chief to Gen. Pelissier. A Paris correspondent of the Independance writes ;—~ “General Canrobert still suffers severely from ophthal- mia, which has for a long Micted him; and it is doubtful whether he will ble to dnish a task to which his courage, to say the least, was never inferior.”’ ‘The first Sardinian division went straight to the Crimea, Negotiations between Austria and the Western Pow- ers remain where they were; but between Austria and Prussia relations are becoming more intimate, and have for object to preserve strict neutrality. A Vienna despatch, of doubtful authority, says that Austria has agreed with the Western Powers ona final uitimatam to be presented to Russia. This i: at vari- ance with reliable advices. Count Nesselrode has issued @ new circular; contents as yet unknown. Telegraphic intelligence, just reosived, from Berlin and Vienns, fails to confirm the report that Count Nesselrode had resigned. Russia has directed her representative at the Court of Darmstadt, to notify all the German goveraments that Rassia will only hold tothe firsttwo points of gasran- tee, on condition of the perfect neutrality of Germany. Apropos: Count Coronini, Austrian commander-in- ehief, has proclaimed martial law in the Prineipalities Constantinople letters of the 10th say that the capita- tion tax on Christians is finally abolished. Christians are liable to military service, but will form separate corps. . A now imperial manifesto has been issued at St. Pe- tersburg, in which the Czar orders another levy of twelve men per thousand throughout the seventeen Western provinces, and to be completed by the end of July. rable and England have presented an ultimatum to Sweden, to which the Swedes have replied, by incorpora- ting their militia. In England many incidents tend to mark the demo- cratic change that is coming over the nation. The Queen bes condescended publicly to bestow medals on private coldiers in the streets of London. In various parts of the country ‘‘administrative re- form” meetings have been held, and in the House of Lords a debate on Lord Ellenborough’s motion drew forth an extraordinary amount of democratic speaking. Rumors of dissension in the British cabiaet gain ground, Lord Jobn Russel is aid to be the impractica- ble subject. In Parliament, on the evening of Friday, the 18th, Lord Panmure stated the details of certain proposed re- forma in the army, having for object to consolidate the “civil departments” of military affairs. Quiet has been restored in the Ukraine. ‘The clipper ship Great Republic has arrived at Mar- weilles to embark troops. It now appears by a telegraphic despatch from Ma- arid, of the 11th inst., that fhe nomination of a susces- wor to Senor Cueto, as to the United States, will be deferred until after the arrival of the next mail from Havans. Our previous advices announced the ap- pointment of Sener Santa Alvarez. ‘The Paris Exposition has been opened; as a spectacle ‘the opening was a failure.

Loxnon, May 18, 1855, Palmerston in a Slate of Sicge—A Sortie England's “Fancy Man’'—The Coming Man—Trale with Russia —Severe Fighting— Resignation of General Canrooert — General Pelissier—Nationalities~A Polish Address—~ Execution of Pianori—Opening of the Puris Exhibition. Lord Palmerston is very much in the position of Prince Gortschaioff, He is attacked on all sides; but he holds bis ground, and every now and then unmasks:a new bat tery, and bafiles all the attempts of bis enemies, Thas, the other night, to the aatoni-hment.of. the Houss,.be- ing bard pressed, the noble Premier took out of his pocket a long document on army reform, which he read to the House. This unexpected sortic kept them quiet fora time. Layard has in vain attempted to get a day for his impeachment motion, and has at last declared that he will bring it forward when the House goes into Committee of Supply—that is to say, Thursday st. Befere then Palmerston will doubtless have thrown up new entrenchments, It ia nevertheless trus that “the fancy man of the English peopie,” as Lord Ellenborough facetiously called Palmerston the other night—bas not responded to the expectations entertained of him. In fact, it is one thing to be in opporition, and another to be in power. The advantage {s generally on the side of the opposition. The opinion is that the Palmerstoa government will not last long, and Lord Derby is the coming man. On Tuesday Lord Albemarle brought forward a motion for the restriction of trade with Russia, and proceeded to show that, owing to the laxity of the blockade, and by the indirect trade which had been carried on through Prussia, the people of this country had, in fact, contri- buted £10,000,000 to Russia for tho maintenance of the war bat the art so imported v vble— that tallow and hemp could not be rom other quarters, ‘This a fallacy, for © products could be supplied in abundance our own colonies, The proper policy of the govern: ot was to cut off this supply of the sinews of war from the enemy; and this could only be done by a more effectual blockade and by restricting the overland transit of Russian produce through Prussia. Nor should it be forgotten that there was a peace well as a war party in Russie, whore efforts would be strengthened by a po” licy such as he bad indicated on the part of the govern” ment, Lord Stanley of Alderley agreed with Lord Albemarle in the importance of restricting the export of Rassian Produce, but contended that the blockade already estab- lished, as it bad diminished Russian exports by 50 or 60 per cent, could not be called ineffective. Ag tothe pro. hibition of the transit of Russian goods through Prus- sia, he saw no means of effecting that object, except such as would inflict the minimum of losa on the enemy with the maximum of injury to ourselves. After eome further discusaion, ir wh'ch Lords Gran- ville, @lanricarde, Derby and Grey took part, their lordships divided, when the numbers wore— been argued t 31 portance Pl but Layard’s motion is looked forward to as a field day, As regarda the news from the seat of war itis pretty much of the same tenor as usual. ‘That is tosay, th? siege continues, the Russians make fierce sorties, and, inch by inch, the allies get nearer the town. In a grand review held by General Canrobert, he said to the troops that if they did not enter by the door they should ente by the window. An expedition to some other part of the Crimen is en the tapis, to cut off the Russian ra sources, An expedition had actually sailed to Kersch, but bad done nothing. The Turks under Omer Pacha have returned to Eupatoria. They feared a grand attack at that place. The 15,000 Sardinians have arrived in the Crimea, and will doubtless prove of good service. I en- close you the latest telegraphic despatches (which are up to yesterday) from Sebastopol. The last deapatch has somewhat startled the public. General Canrobert is deprived of the command of the French army. It is true the despatch ssys fe has resigned, on the ground of ill health. He is succeeded in the chief command by General Pélissier, and Canrobert remsins (at hie own request, says the Monitewr) as commander of Pélissier’s corps. There is some mystery about this. Perha; Louis Napoleon thinks Pélissier is a more dash- ipg general. In my last I informed you of the re- signation of Drouyn de W’Huys. The political at- mosphere is changing. Walewski, the new Minis. ter of Foreign Affairs, is of h descent, by his wother; Persigny, the new ambassador to London, is for war tothe knife, Russia having refused to accept the offered terms, and Austria not fulfilling her promise to draw the sword, it is rumored that if necessary Louis Napoleon will appeal to the nationalities. The insertion of the subjoined addresses in the Moniteur gives color- ing to the rumor. They are, in fact, appeals for the restoration of Poland. The very fact of their having been published in the Moniteur has caused considerable sensation throughout Germany, and raised the hopes of all the liberals in Poland, Hungary and Italy. Kossuth is writing strong articles in the Lonéon Adlas in the seme tone. But here are the addresses :— ‘ ‘The following is the address to the Emperor, presented by adeputation of Poles residing at Paris and in the neighborhood :— frr—The Polish refugees in France most eagerly ¢ joy they fee! ime attemp’ st your i <y, had, no other result than elieiting » univer sentiment of horror at the attempt—of respect and di yotion to your Majesty.

The following is the letter addresse’ by General Rybin- ski to the Emperor: = Smrr—The Polish emigration thanks Gol for the pre- servation of the life of your Imperial Majesty, which the enemy would like to destroy at a moment when it is combatting the enemy not only of France, bat of Europe and of its nighest interests.

RYBINSKI, Ex-General-ia-Chief of th Vid Polish Army in 1931. Pianori, the man who fired at Louis Napoleon, has paid the penalty with his life. He was decapitated on Monday morning, at 5 o’clock, in the usual place of exe. cution of the prieon of Roqnette, not far from the Bas- tile. The spectatoes were not many at that early hour, avd it was only on the ereuing dolore that orders wero sent round to the police agents to be ready for duty, The Avocat-General visited him an hour before his exe cution, to learn whether at that terrible moment, whea the world was about to close oa him, he had any dis- closures to make. To the question of the advocate he apawered by a stern and single negative, He died and wade vo sign, He was led to the seaffold, which was in the square of the prison, in the costume of parricides— a black veil thrown over his face, a long shirt covering him, ard bis feet maked. He was pale, but his fea tures were calm; yet the effort must have been strong which produced that calmness, for ou bis cheek bones wes a bright hectic spot, which told what parsed within, As he stood on the scaffold he cried “ Vive la Republique,” and the plank to which he was bound turned the moment he was about to repeat the ery. Yet Panori cannot be consitered, even by ths most ultra party, a political martyr, He waia vulga miserzant, who had already committed crimes sufficien toearn such # doom. In the faudourgs it is rumored that it was not Pianori, but a manniquin, that was guil Jotined, and that the real person (who, of course, was a police agent) has been sent out of the country with a pAstport. Mario bas made his appearance again at the Itslinn Opera here. Charles Kean hag brought oyt Shakspere’s “Henry VIII.” at the Princesses with regal splendor. In ita way it isa masterpiece.

May Weather in Paris—Preparations for the Opening of the Grand Industrial Exhibition—Personal Interest taken by the Empress in the Progress of the Works— Scene Presented by the Building on the Day Previous to the Opening—The American Department—Incomplete Appearance of the Whole Exhibition—The Price Bread in Paris. Whatever may be said about the proverbial charms of the month of May, the subject is simply historical as far as our present experience is concerned, for never in the memory of man was there surely a month so little endowed with charms as the one ia the midst of which we are now living. The wind boxing all points of the com. pass, now west, now driving northeast; a moment blow. ing from the baliny south, and before a man can unbut- ton his coat, itis due north. Then floods of rain and pools of slush, and dark and dreary clouds, fill one’s head with thoughts of suicide or at least of influenza and aggravated tailor’s bills, As for the fairsst part of creation, they and their beautiful toilets are in a state ofeelipse. Here and there, in luxurious vehicles, they may be dimly seen, but a French woman generally cares little to go abroad unless she can breaths the free air, with the head of the carriage down, and her eyes free to gaze and to accept the admiration she justly belicves her due. . In the midst of all this the grand universal exhibition lifts the veil, and invites the whole human race to come and wexder, To-morrow the installation is really to take place. The Emperor and Empress yesterday (Sun- day) spent more than an hour there in the midst of paint brushee, carpentering, unpacking, upholstering, and the round of the ssw and hammer exceeding loud. The Empress won the hearts of the busy hive of exhi- biters and workmen by the lively interest she took in everything, and the jadgment she displayed in her vari- ous directions or suggestions, She moved about fresly hither ana thither, like any other domostic lady on hos- pitable thoughts intent, disposing ker houss in or lor for herexpected guests; and when about to make her exit from the busy scene, the toiling mass of humanity flung down their tools, and lifting high in air their casquets, shouted * Vive lV’ Emperatrice!”’ till the glass roof jingled in ite irom frame. Acxious to ree what progress had been made towards the ceremony of to-morrow, I visited the Palace this morning and spent two or thrce hoars in leoking about me. If the dilaturiness of French workmen is deservedly astonishing to the Saxon mind, the extraordinary high pressure they can apply when necessity imperiously de- mands it, ie not less so, as is proved by the progress effected in the last forty-eight hours. The colossal chaos seems now fairly emerging into shape and form, and tho vast laboratory exhibits palpable symptoms of its ob- ject. The building gradually ioses its cold skeleton-like proportions, its ribs cisappear beneath soft textiles, warm to the touch and gorgeous to the eye, and from its crystal roof floats an exquisite mélange of bauners and oriflames that streak the arched covering like a rain- bow and fling an air of gladness and gaiety over every- thing. On the right and left of the principal entrance floats the tri-color, over which hang the forked stream- ers or oriflames of the principal departments of Frauce. On the opposite side may be seen the union jack of Bag land, next to which, occupying a greater length of exhi- bition space, preud:y waves the stars and stripes of the United States, followed by the banner of the Belgic lion. Above these are suspended the local fiags of the principal towns of England, Ireland and Scotland, of America and Belgium. In one of the niches appropriated to the Stats Unis, with American emblems on either side, hangs a gorgeous crimeon Crapery, surmounted by a crown. Within its folds @: neesied golden cheirs of state. The spaco before spread with Gobelin carpeting, flanked by Hore it is that benches covered with crimson velvet. te-morrow, the Emperor and Empress, im the pre- of the high specials, the Senators, legisistors of the empire, the diplomatic corps, and the beauty of France, will take their seats, andrecetve the address of Prince Napoleon. If many of the objects of industrial interest are still wanting, if huge packing cases, empty glass armoirs, and an American district drear and de- sert as a prairie in the far West, show how much atill remaing to be done, the deficieucy will not be felt to- morrow, forevery niche and corner will be glowing Ike beds of beautiful flowere, with ladies in erening cos- tume, with gentlemen in court habiliments, and with brave uniforms that in Franc: are never want brilliancy to the scene fa background be needed, the church and law officers cf the crown will furnish it, and it cannot be doubted tha: rhen music lends its aid to a bardment.

As if the clouds of heaven had gathered together ex- pressly to evince their mocking scorn of a temple raised to the genius of Peace, when the whole world, on land and sea, was bristling with bayonets, or covered with deep mouthed canzon, they hung like a funeral pall over its erystal roof, and poured torrents of the pitiless ele- ment on its marble sides. But what is there that will stay the determined sight-seer? Long before ten o’clock, files of carriages might be seen urging thelr way in the direction of the Champs Elyeées. Groups of pedestrians clung like awarms of bees about the porches of the Palais d’Industrie, and for once wind and rain and mud failed to scatter to their homes the well dressed population of Parls, Men know that two days ago the building was little more than a ahell—that twenty thonsand packages still remsined un- opened, and that, beyond their own dear selves, there would probably be little to refreah the'r e} ut nota whit daunted, still they crowded on, and sighed for the opening of the doors, 2s if the treasures of Cali- fornia were there to be seen and shared, and now or never was their chance. By the greatkindness of tne Commissioner of the United States, (Mr. Field,) who on learning my positive relation to the Hera, exerted himee)f xt great personal inconvenience to procure mo acard of admission, I enjoyed peculiar facilities for witnessing the ceremony to advantage; and I desire to take this opportunity of pabMely expressing my. ac- knowle¢g nents to that gentlemaa for his courteous aud reaéy attention. On entering tae palace I was again struck by the immense progress effected in twenty-four hours. Sixteen hundred pairs of hands, it seems, had been occupied during the entire nig! by those whose habitations are only by @ narrow road, that the noise, the lights, the shacows flitting to and fro, the hoarse murmur of voices uttering English, Fiench, Dutch, German, Spsn- ish and Portuguese sounds, presented one of the strangest scezes in the world, The interior of the build- ing is painted # dim lilac, which admirably suits the variety of colors spread out. to view by its negative ex- cellence of non-interference. The compartments of the immense gallery which prevails throughout the vast oblong, called tribunes, may be seid—speaking roughly —to be about efghty in number, thirty on either side and ten at each end, in spaces of thirty feeteach. In- stead of stores of industria! produce, glowing with the wonders of the loom, of manual labor, cf ecience and art, living masses, bearing in their persons every spe of industrial ingenuity, and by arts peculiar to themstlves diaplaying them to the best advantage, occupi:d their place From their elevated position, they locked on th vast area below them; and, notwithstanding the angry sepect of the ekies, which refused a single ray of gua shine to the lake of glass which composed the roof, the sight was cne of those which cannot easily be forgotten ‘The large arched, painted windows at either end throw @ faint tipgeén several elaborate works of art which occupied the centre of the area or nave. These, for the most consisted of ecclesiastical eubjects, which, from elevation and spiral character, artistical broke what might otherwise ve proved a monotonous level. On either side of these were p: 8 through which a cozen ons might walk abreast, and the division which bounded the nave from the un- der part of the galleries—likewise full, or to be filled, with industrial tressures—was formed by beautiful glass cases contaiving their several wares. At 12 o’clock the doors were closed against all further admission, and at ten minutes to one, the cannon of the Invalides an- nounced the departure of the Imperial cortege from the Tuileries. The instant the booming of the guns broke upon the eer, a mavifest change took place in the ge- poral sepect of the building. Parties in the tribunes, who were scattered in groups in the reur, pressed forward to the front, and all faces were directed towards the centre of the nave, to be occupied by the Imyerial party. The fiont of the galleries on ali sides Presented a quintuple row of heads, the ladies being chiefly in the toremost benches, with their rich and varie- gated toilets. The vast area below became peopled with aliving bive, who, crowding up from underneath tho tribunes and from oth of the palase where they had been heey 3 to wile away the tedious hours of expectation, looked from the galleries like a dark and chequered eyes in which were embedded the bases of the beautiful statues, altar pieces, lighthouses and fountaine—marble—which rose sbove i.

This carriage had eight horsez, by the side of which walked grooms in the imperial livery, and following were the Cent Gardes, exciting universal admiration by their brilliant upiforms. A squadron of curassiers closed the procession. As the cortege passed on the troops prese: drams best, and the bands of the different regiments played ‘‘Partant pour la Syrie,’’ and the raia, which had hitherto been delug’ freeta, sudi ceased its waterspouts, and gal- tantly suffered the ay cavalcade to reach the Palace of Peace unmolested. ‘t within the industrial temple ex- tation had reached its utmostatrain, Lorgnons were exactitude at the department of re the throne was erect to take place, musicians, who France, w! hi by the other half, A hundred and fii for some three hours had been ai tantalizing re- pose, suddenly filled the building with the straiza of the rational air, and emerging from beneath a splendia crya‘al chandelier which hung from beneath the tribune which bounded the long idor, covered with crimson carpeting and garnished with works of art, the imperial cortege, glittering in gold and wavizg with white, plumes, appeared, and thea slowly tra- versed the centre 0} Rave, lined on either’ side with the bodies.of the Senate, Prefecture, institute, aan, clergy, judges, &e, which the time would ft me to enumerate, The avaht couriers of the process ywly fell off to the right and left, and took up the 6 previously assigned them ir—the Emperor, es us: d uniforms, the kuaprees in @ pale green satin rol 1p White lace flounces aad a brilliant éiadem of her head.

To this address the Emperor replied as follows:— My Desr Conain—In placing you at the head of s commis. sion, appointed to surmount ov many difficulti lintonded i iv] proot of my confidence.

This ceremony over, the Emperor an Empress mado the tour of the palace, preceded by the obief officers of State, and followed by the ladies of honor. Nothing teemed to affore the many thousand spectators more ification than this. The air reverbernted wita en- tic shouts, and, as at each burst of cheering, the ul lady, #0 eminently the observed of ail ob- servers, and, ooking on this occasicn, from the peculiar Cisposition of the lustrous diacem on her head, so pre- eminently imperial, bent and smiled in that gracefal, charming manner, so completely her own, the enthu- siaem broke out beyond all bounds, and one’s blood fairly tinged with the sound of voicor, vibrating like the roar of the sea ona lee shore. Yes, ani the sun, #0 stingy of its beams, did vouchsafe ® glnddening ray, as this Queen of Beauty stepped into the People’s Palace, and the clouds broke up their gloomy conclave scudded off, the Lord knows whither, ing her last adieu, she quitted its balls to proceed onve more in ma- jestic style through the grand avenue of the Champs Hlysces, and retorzed to that home which no Queen of France ever more exquisit ly adorned than herself. With respect to the Exhibition, per se, it must be confeaved that it has, as yet, little to attract the hun- dreds of thousands of travellers who are understood to be on their way, or have it in contemplation, to visit it. The few articles expored to view may besaid to be chiefly for the purpose of setting off to advantage the ceremony of the inauguration. its visiters, is still a colossal desert—a monument of the dilatory mind of man. It will require another. month, even with the present high pressure, to justify its pretentious character, and something must be done to protect the public from atmospheric vicissitudes. If the sun shines, people will be stifled with the heat; and if the weather be as it was yesterday, the Indus- trial Commission had better advertise that a hearse mourning coaches and a chaplain wid be always at hand for the daily victims. terday exposed to a state of thorcugh draft, that made the stoutest of us shiver and shrivel as with the ague.

At s ministerial soirée, the name of which I am not at liberty to mention, heldon Monday evening, in the Rue de Lille, the greatest anxiety was manifested respocting the motion of Lord Ellenborough, about to be brought forward in the House of Lords; ani at no time since the commence: it of the war have I remarked #0 gloomy a retrospect of European affairs ia general. I could give the name of the minister who uttered the following sen- timents, but were I to do so, the censorship now so rigidly exercived on the Huarp, in respect to its ad- mission into Frasco, would not only bs redoabied, but myself, as the author, probably huffted up and a pass- port placed in my band. «The truth is,’’ said the minister, ‘we shall never do any good with this alliance in the active prosecution of the Nogutively, rather thaa positively, the An- glican connection is of vast importance; but this cannot last, Already a large party in France, which had no dislaclination to the war, has fallen away from us, and mainly owing to the state of the English government, ‘The asistocratic families beyond the manche piay with their government as we do here at a game of balla, and in the end—so long as the people, ninny like, look on—they may succeed in steering the ves- sel of State.

What we all regret most, is the Russian progress in America. That untortunate speech about what France and England were doing in the East, they would, if necessary, accomplish ia the West, and which came from the Tuileries when, flushed wi the new alliance, it was never supposed that Rassia ever seriously intended to face it, has done incalculable mis- chief, The Emperor had his eye at the time on Spain— that rock on which Napoleon le Grand split—aad the Prominent conduct or M.Soulé iadueed him to put the sea. toa speech which may be said to be the only fool- ish one he has made since his accession.

It was at this point of the conversation that one of the princes joined in it. ‘Of all people,”” he observed, ‘that resemble the French im manner and habit, I consider the Americans to do so the most, Eaglish or Saxon they may be, but, far from the humid air of the mother country—from the overwhelming domesticity of the parental stock—free from the feudal servility so com- mon to all Knglinh classes, and full of that higher o,f Socialism which renders men conscious o| fesotene rig is in the sigh? of man and Goa —they are dist ea b,’ the same nonchalance, gaiety and wit pro, Frere," character, and when brought into it, nothing is more remarka’ its thoro.. “6h septation, gapecially by the women, in dress there‘ little or no dit ce to be observed; do not, like t. \@ Epglish, mistake material value for artis- tic excellence, #24 whetker it is that naturally fd American organ ‘8 slightly nasal, it is ceftain that language in their “outh is more eu than that of any other fo.~eigner.

For my part, I should like to see the United States conciliated in time; I should like to see France making no diffical- z about Cuba, and drawing the cords of uaiom closer and closer “across the Atlantic.

I am rejoiced to find that the Emperor is to take his seat at the Palais de l’Industrie im the United States department; I ¢ to find that the im princes avail themselves of every opportunity to cultivate the society and good will of American citizens, and I hope and believe that the Emperor has the same desire and de- termination, for 1am sure that the aspect of the war does not entitle Lim to neglect the sympathies of so im- portant a section of the human race, and so vast « por- tion of territory and intelligence.” The above conversation took place on canapie, be- hind which, in the embrasure of an oriel window, | was - an upavoidable listener.
