The letters of our London and Paris corres- pondents, the intelligence from Spain, and the last speech of Lord Palmerston onthe war question, which we publish, are very interesting.

The Imperial Legials‘ure assembled ‘on the 3d of May, and the Emperor made an open. ing speech, which we translate.

Now, the whig party having been knocked al! to pieces and disbanded, the same question arises with the Chevalier Webb which suggested itself to Mr. Webster when he found himself standing alone in Captain Tyler’s Cabi. net—‘ Where am Ito go?” But, suiting the action to the word, without waiting for instias- tions, our enterprising Chevalier has fallen back into the ranks of the Seward coalition. Citizen Robespierre Mucklewrath has taken him in hand accordingly, and is teaching him the discipline of the camp; and we wish the drill sergeant and his pupil a good time of it. The Chevalier Webb is under a sort of com- pact to serve W. H. Seward in this crisis. When the latter was Governor he saved the Chevalier from the penitentiary, whither he otherwise would have gone on account of that ridiculous duel with Tom Marshall, of Kentucky. It is understood that as an equivalent for this service to Webb, he engaged when the time should arrive, to do all that he could in behalf of his benefactor, Mr. Seward, for the Presidency. Hence the present course of the Chevalier on the Nebraska question. His time has come for the fulfilment of his bond, We may deplore his humiliating position as an underling of Citizen Mucklewrath & Co. in the service of the nigger worshippers, but we must will be accompanied with # corresponding risk, | ing several of Mr. Wise’s best stump and will not hasten or facilitate the assault. | speeches, not alone throughout Virginia | *PProve 4 fidelity of the Ceri. fous oe Indeed, whatever the British journals may | or the United States, but throughout | #ct It is not as agreeable as the fifty-two thousand dollar compact with Nicholas Biddle, winding up with the bankrupt law, we admit; but still there is something magnificent in the good faith exhibited by our chivalric Chevalier in sticking even toa bad bargain. For some time past,.as a BrigadieiGeneral-of the peace establishment, our Chevalier has pursued pretty much his own political course. There may be some difficulty in reducing him to thorough discipline under his new enlistment, but Citizen Mucklewrath, aided by Lloyd Garrison, Lucy Stone, and the women’s rights women of the Seward anti-slavery league, will doubtless be able, among them, to take the stiffness out of his joints, and make him a flexible and obedient soldier. We may pity the case of our preux Chevalier, but there is no help for it. Seward, like Shylock, must have his bond. the civilized world. In return for this useful and generous service, Mr. Wise picked a per- sonal quarrel with one of our reporters, and endeavored publicly to excite a disturbance against him. Not satisfied with this, Mr. Wise amused himself in the indulgence of no very flattering or gentlemanly expressions against the editor of this journal. Now let him come to New York, and we shall endeavor to show him the agreeable contrast between politeness to a visiter from another State, and coarse, un- gentlemanly and inhospitable treatment. Let Mr. Wise come along, then. We shall sid in giving him a flattering reception; and more than this, if the democracy put him for- ward for the Presidency, we shall second the motion, in preference to Pierce, Marcy, or any other of the old demccratic fogies. We desire to give Mr. Wise a lesson of genuine Virginia chivalry and hospitality, not as he understands it, but as we understand it here in New York. Let him come along. say, there never was a time at which the cap- ture of Sebastopol by assault appeared more distant. In a very short time we may expect to hear of the cholera and fever breaking out in the allied camp. Noman, say topographers, can expose himself to the Crimean dews without fatal results; yet the Allies must guard the trenches. In July and August, the heights of Cherson are the seat of a frightful and deadly ophthalmia; of this scourge the troops must take their share. The correspondent of the London Times writes that tae want of waterhas been already felt; and complains bitterly that the departments whose business it is to see after this necessary of life have contented themselves with a scientific examination of the locality; which satisfying them that water ought to be found there, they have paid no attention to the fact that the cavalry horses were already on short allowance. Fever, cholera, -opthalmia, and thirst are a bad look out for the summer. But, leaving Sebastopol, of whose capture no person of judgment will expect to hear this maby ® day, what are the Allies to do else- where? We know, now, that for some reason or other, the Ruesians’ had long ago decided to abandon Kertch and Yenikale. Probably they | had not men and means to defend them. Pos- sibly they forssaw that their capture would entail no very serious consequences, At all events, whether these were, the causes, or whe- ther the Ruseians were, as the English eay, seared by the sppearance of the armament which turned Cape Takil Bouroune, the ports were abandoned and a small Rassian fleet cap- tured. Next, a portion of the same squadron did not capture, but bombarded and otherwise molested, the Azoff ports of Genitchi and Ara- bat. Here, it is understood, a quantity of pro- visions were taken “and destroyed.” Why destroyed? Have the Allies never lacked pro- visions that they should gaily destroy six millions of rations? It looks very much as though the destruction had been intended to con- ceal the quantity of the articles destroyed. Still, it is to be presumed that Genitchi will fall, and probably Arabat as well. Both are small places, unlikely to be able to resist the strong naval force under Lyons and Bruat. Then the Allies will be masters of thesea of Azoff. What next? They may sail towards the mouth of the Don, burn Taganrog, and plunder the country resi- dences in the neighborhood; they may bombard the few villages on the eastern bank of the river; they may advance withia sight of the Delta, and gaze on the sunken boats and care- ful bars which forbid their advance upon Tcher- kask. Or on the other hand they may launch their gunboats on the Sirwash, from Genitchi, and pilot them towards Perekop. Thisis ob- viously the mogt likely plan to be pursued. For the other could lead to none but fruitless triumphs, Upon the result of the attack upon Perekop everything will obviously depend. If it can be secured, and held, the fall of Sebastopol becomes # mere matter of time. But before it can be attacked, the army of Simpheropol must be beaten, or it will be neither effectual to take nor possible to hold Perekop. The plan of the sum- mer is therefore, as we understand it, nearly as follows:— Twenty thoueand men garrison the Straits of Kertch and cut off the Crimea from supplies from the Don. Three-tourths of the available force—a hundred thousand men, if possible— move from Sebastopol due north, over the Tchernaya, upon Bakshicerai and Simphero- pol, and in all probability engage the Russians in the mountains between Mac- kenzie’s Farm and the Belbek. The pros- pect is that these will be under the command of General Pelissier, and that Raglan will be left neole command in the Crimea. Taking it for granted—snccess is always taken for grauted n such plans—that the Russians are beaton in the first battle, and that a sufficient garrison is lodged in Simpheropol to hold it, a movement will next be made for a junction with the Turks, who will advance from Koslov. Sjmul- taneously with this the gunboats attached to the naval equadron will enter the Sirwach; acd army and gunboats will advance together Sgainst Perekop. If Perekop is as strongly fortified as Sebastopol—amd it is said to be— the close of the campaign will be a repetition of last year’s. If it is not, the English will enjoy the satisfaction of having something to show at last “or the arrogance of theig bonata, and the insulting defiance they have showered upon their enemy, Kansas Free Som Merrines.—They had a free soil Kansas meeting in the Tabernacle the other night, and another on a very small scale last night, and the parties in- terested will probably keep up and extend this plan of operations as long as they can make it pay. The prime movers, like Governor Tue Liqvor Law rm Brooxtyn.—It is said that Mayor Hall, of Brooklyn, differs from Moyor Wood in his interpretation of the Liquor law, and joins the prohibitionists throughout. It is understood that though Mayor Wood has wisely decided to suspend the operation of the Jaw till after the fourth, Mayor Hall intends to make a perade of executing it, and to order the police of Brooklyn to seize remoreelessly all liquors, whether foreign or domestic. We trust that the Mayor of Brooklyn will think twice ere he does anything so foolish. It is easy enough to get up a riot here; and though riots can no doubt be put down with great facility, the abstract satisfaction of having vindicated the law would be a poor consolation to Mayor Hall, if he caused a score or less of humana beings to be put to death for refusing to obey a statute which the courts afterwards pro- nounced unconstitutional. land in Kansas, which they want to sell. Hence these patriotic gatherings and appeals for more money and more emigrants. Itisa lendjobbing speculation upon {reo soil pre- tences. Let all the greenhorns subscribe to the emigrant fund accordingly, or go out and buy a farm of these free soil speculators, at three or four times its first cost, and the cause will go on swimmingly. Citizen Macklewrath will advance loans on short time, upon good security, and for a good stiff interest. The financiers in the cause of freedom can’t be ex- pected to work for nothing. ANationaL Prouiprrory Liquor Law—Sz- cRETARY Marcy ifs ApostLe.—We give, in an- other place, the speech of E. C. Delavan, deli- vered at Albany on Thursday, to the State Tem- perance Society. Mr. Delavan’s speech is worth printing for several reasons, but more especially because it contains a letter from Marcy, in which he states that there is no treaty extant which could prevént Congress from making a na- tional Prohibitory Liquor law, by interdicting importation altogether. This must be a move for the succession by the Secretary of State. Marcy’s policy, it seems by this, is to lead the temperance party by advocating the extenzion of Neal Dow’s law, and Neal Dow’s style of en- forcing it, over all the States and Territories in the Union. Then Marcy would be a temperance candidate for the Presidency—Neal Dow the second man on the ticket--and we should have cur army and navy engaged in the demolition of grogshops and the bombardment of fashion- able hotels. There is a good time comiag, GreEELey In Cricuy.—Our Fourierite philo- sopher, Greeley, may thank Barnum for his late imprisonment ia the jail of Clichy, in Paris, When the Crystal Palace speculation had its back broken, the stockholders, in a desperate effort to save themselves, fell back upon Bar- num. He had proved his ability to carry through any humbug, however transparent, disgusting or abominable. He had made monoy out of an old negress, a woolly horse, a codfish mermaid, and various other devices which ordi- nary swindlers would have refused to touch; and Barnum was therefore the man to save the stockholders of the Crystal Palace. They hum- bugged the prince of humbugs in the trick, and Greeley in the bargain. They called upon us, offered us stock upon the most accommo- dating terms, if we would give Barnum a lift ; but we turned them over to Greeley as their man; and sure enough they caughthim. Hence his arrest and imprisonment in Paris as a debtor toa French exhibitor in the Crystal Palace. Baraum is responsible for it—Barnum got him into the scrape, and from the profits of the late baby show Barnum ought to pay the costs Let Citizen Mucklewrath hand in his bill at the Mureum. AcapEMy or Mustc—Tae La Gnance Trourr.—If the performances of this troupe are limited in number they at least present the attraction of variety. Oa Thursday evening “Norma”? was given toa very good house; last night the ‘‘Puritani’’ was produced to a better one, and on Monday next ‘Don Giovanni” will, we Lave no doubt, attract @ large audience. The latter is an opera that never fails to draw. Two new débuts will be made in this plece—namely, thone of Madame Catarina de Ferrari in the rdle of Dona Elvira, and of Signor Giulio in the part of Masetto. Madame Rose Devries will also make her first appearance here, after an absence of two years, in the cheracter of Dona Anna. It is said that the Zerlina of Mademe La Grange is one of her best parts. Dsspatcu or Tux Sovrnern Mar..—In 1853 we received the gratifying intelligence that the great Southern mail between New Orleans and New York, was to be put ahead twelve hours, or would occupy but five and a half days in coming from New Orleans to this city. We patiently waited during the whole year for the fulfilment of the promise, but the change never took place. In the spring of 1954 arrange- mente wert again made to shorten the time, but by daily meeting, we presume, with some mishap, the mail never came through in the time specified. This summer the affair was to be arranged to a certainty, A convention of the Southern railroad directors was held, who, in connection with the Post Office Depart- ment, assembled in Washington, and settled matters to their own satisfaction, and published a statement of the time to be occupied in the despatch of the mail between each place on the | route— which arrangement was to go into effect on the 10th of June—whereby the mail would be lamded in New York in five days from New Onleems. All seemed fair and promising at the time; but we have not yet received the benefit of the change. As it is now, the great South- ern mail leaves Philadelphia at two o’clock P. M., by the Amboy route, and arrives in this city about eight o’clock the same evening, which of course is too late an hoar to be of any benefit to the business community before the Tae GerMan Orera.—“Tho Daughter of the Regi- ment,” done into German, was given last evening at Wallack’s theatre, to a rather thin house.

That itis the sense of this meeting that the tw: section of the pans does not endorse the Missouri outrage, as has en alleged bya portion of the press, but refers the whole subject of slavery to the proper legislation o! exposing the safety of some ons or families residing country, through the individual responsibility of the | in Cuba.

On the adoption of the resolutions, the President in- troduced the Bon. E. Joy Monrnis, of Philadelphia, whe held the immense concourse in excited and eager attention to his eloquent and masterly exposition of the principles, doc- trines and objecta of the t American party for more than an hour, frequently eliciting cheers and enthu- aigstic outbursts of well merited applause. The elo- quent speaker took up the platform of principles adopt- ed by the ty, and Giscussed them seriatim with great power and most thrilling effect, He dwelt with em- phatic earnestness and eloquent force om the grand mis- tion of the mighty national party, whose object and aim he described it to be to pour oil upon the troubled waters of sectional strife, to conciliate the conflicting interests of opposing localities, and at all hazards to save and preserve our glorious Union. His description of the insidious encroac! ts and wily akpresions of the Papal party were graphic and intensely exciting, fraught, aa they were, with instructions drawa from his own personal experience during his travels in Italy and vindicate the honor of the members of the Junta that are laboring under very serious which prove wicked and ious intentions, or at least condemna- ble carelessness, It is necessary that Sr. Valiente should understand that bis letter has all the aj of bypocrisy.
