ee ae Inorpents Iv THe Lire or Jacon Barker, of New Oxreane, Loutstana—With Historical Facts, his Financial Transactions with the Governne’ 4 and his Course on Important Political Quest’ ons from 1800 to 1855. Appleton & Co. Jacob Barker is one of those remarkable mm whose reputations belong to the history of the covuntry. Not only have most of the leading incidents of, his life been in*imately connected with its commer efal and polfiical ‘progress, but he is justly regarded a4, thetype of the in. telligence and enterprise which br,ve already placed u the bead of the commercial natons of the world. The bi- ography of such » man l fr.d of interest and instraction tor those who are treading im hia footsteps. Unlike those of wany successtul commercial and financial adventurers to whom we could point, the story of his life, crossed and chequered as it has been, presents no blemish spots for ‘the finger of malice to dwell upon. The efforta made by his enemies to crush him and ruin his character, have only had for result to place in a clearer light the inte- grity and patriotic disinterestedness of his career, ‘Mr. Barker seems to have had an hereditary title to the possession of these qualities, He boasts @ common descent with Benjamin Franklin, their mutual progeni ters being John Folger and Meribah Gibbs, Peter, the only child of the latter, was born at Norwich, in Eng- lend, in 1618, and died at Nantucket in 1690, and his wife in 1704. They came to America in 1636; settled in Martha’s Vineyard in 1659. He visited Nantucket ia the first boat that went there; accompanied Christman Cof fim ae interpreter for the Indians, by whom the island ‘was inhabited; in 1644 he married with Mary Morrell; they had rine children—two sons and seven daughters— of whow Abiah was one; she was born in Nantucket in 1667. Abiah was the mother of Doctor Benjamin Franklin; she married Josiah Franklin, of Boston, where Dr. Franklin was born on the 6th of January, 0.8., 1706; he died at Philadelphia April 17, ©. S,, 1790. Jobn Folger, Jr., was another of the nine children of Teter Folger, born in 159, and died in 1732; he mar- ried Mary Barnard, daughter of Nathaniel; she was born Febroary 2 1057; died in 1736. They also had nine children, of whom Bethiah was one; she married in 1692 Samuel Barker, the grandfather of Jacob Bar- ker; Samuel was the son of Isaac Barker, of Duxbury, England. Samuel was born September 2, 0. 8., 1667, and ied February 1, 1739, Eleazer Folger was also another of the aforesaid nine ehildren of Peter; he was born in 1648, and died 1716, leaving five children, of whom Nathan was one, born 1€78, died July 2, 1747; he married Sarah Church, daughter of Benjamin; they left nine children; Abivha was one, born in 1700; he married Sarah, daughter of Payne Mahew; she died, leaving four children ; he married again Dinah Starbuck, widow of Benjamin, born May 23, 1713, died in Hudson, September 1, 1793, leaving seven ebildren, of whom Sarah, the mother of Jaeob Barker, was one. She was born at Nantucket, Getober 16, 1739; and married Hezekiah Gardner; he @ied, leaving one child, Gideon Gardner; she again mar ried Robert Barker; he was born at Wood's Iole, Massachusetts, February 12, 0. &., 1723. The resemblance between the portrait of Dr. Franklin and that of Jucob Barker is very great. Jacob's father married and settled at Nantucket in early life, removed with his family from Nantucket at the eommencement of the revolution, in 1172, to Swan ‘sland, Kenaebeo,*then the province and now the State of Maine, where his father died on the 26th of April, 1780. Jacob was born thereon the 1th of December, 1779, (the hard winter.) Peace was concluded in 1783. His mother was an exemplary member and elder of the Quaker church; Jacob's father, not being a member, their children were not born members; after the death of her husband, sbe sssociated them with that excellent religious society, ond returned with her family to her na- tive island in April, 1785, where she died in 1833, in the 41h yearofher age. Jacod resided on Swan Island until he reached the age of sixteen; he entered the school of William Sawyer Wallin July, 1776, at New Bedford, which he attended ‘until May, 1797. He then returned to his mother, and fora few months attended the store of John Akins, al Nantucket. Having but meagre prospects there, and be- ing an ambitious boy, he determined to seek his fortun on the ocean, and accordingly +hipped as® green hand on board a packet bound for New York, with the privi Jewo of taking his discharge these, his intention being w geta berth ona ship bound for the East Indies, From this time until he attained his majority, he became en gaged inn loug series ot trading aad commercial ven tures, most of which, owing to his natural shrewdness and boldness, tarued out fortunate, They fllustrate in a remarkable degree the early taste for industry and in dependence which at that period was inculeated in tne minds of American olildven, as one of the princi pal social virtues. During all these trantactions the stering worth and honesty of the young adventurers character obtained him not only friends Dut what was more necew-ary, commercial credit. He Kept an account in the United States brauch bauk at Fantucket, and obtained an accommodation feom it, whieh was renewed from time to time, until he was of age, after which Isaac Hicks joked the directors about Gisxeounting the notes of boys. When the vote came round it was thrown out, with the remark that the bank could not discount the notes of minors, It was informed thet Mr. Barker was no longer in that category, and the note was at once cashed. When the young Jacob came of age he found that the profits upon his traffic, during his minority, left him in possession of a handseme capital of five thousand doi lars, after discharing all his obligations, With this sum he embarked extensively in the commission business, aa im 3901 married Misa Elizabeth Hazard, the daughter of Thomas Hazard, Juvr., of Now Bedford. It is not our purpose to follow Mr. Barker throngh the history of the multifarious and frequently gigantie + pecu- lations into which be entered. It is suflicient to say that his sbips covered the ocean, and that he estab- Waned Branch houses and agencies of bis busi ness in different parts of the world. Amongst the numerous interesting incidents by which the earlier ‘end more prosperous portion of his carcer was marked, the following is not the least noteworthy:— Mr. Barker also received from London a consignment, for account of Mr. Fulton, of the first steam engiae ever in successful operation for propelling vessels, It wa made by Messrs. Bolton and Watts, celebrated for « structing steam machinery. It remained fo Mr. Barker's store, in South treet, many mouths before Mr. Fulton ‘could raire the fauds to pay for it. The eugive war plac e4 on the first steamboat that navigated the Hudson, Mr. Farker thinks her name was the North River, aud’ that she attained the speed of four miles an hour. ‘Lit le did he th think this discovery of the immortal fulton would, In lesa than half a century, regulate the eommerce of the whole world, become so powerful au suxiiiary in all war measures, rave time and shorten space to such « degree that to be deprived of its use would be unive-sal ly considered a calamity of the first maguitude, In polities Mr. Barker took an early and earnest part ‘The operation of the alien and sedition law im marzling ‘the press, and of the stamp act in fettering commercial transuctivns, naturally inclined him to the democratic side. He accordingly became a firm supporter and friend of Jefferson. His biographer relates that he passed with the latter at the White Huse the evening of the day on which he sent to Congress the message developing Burr's conrpirasy — Mr. Jefferson appeared much pleased at the failure of the scheme «poke of the arrival of Erick Bolman, one ot the supposed consyl ators, a prisoner from New Orleans at Chaileston ; the interference of bis politieal oppooevts ‘wo have Potman released, for which parpose chey took out a writ of habeas coryus. and sent the sheriff with it, to bring the prisoner into court from Fort Sullivan, where he war conflved. The colnet tn command refased wo re ceive the mandate from the sheriff, on the grousd that « military off cer could only reerive orders from his supe rior, tiere/ore the sheriti must procerd to Washington, and serve the process on the resident of the United Biates, the commander-in-chief of our wisole military force.| This subterfuge enabled 2he colonel to retain the prisoner unl he sbould receive orders from Wash ton. 6 rage of Monticollo remarked : This colomel seems to Have heen an old soldier, with more respect for iili tary discipline than for ¢ivil authorities.” Mr. Barker, although the largest shipowner in the United States, with the excep ion of William Gray, of Sa Jem, was a strenuous advocate of the restrictive system, and -vpported the non inspurtation laws to the utmost of his power, ‘The adoption of Jefferson's embargo, followed op an it was by the results of the war, groatiy impaired his fortune and commercial prospects, He neverthe. fess continued to adhere firmiy to the principles which had induced him to lad the measure his support, The circumstances under whieh Mr. Barker came to the aid of our goverumont whee it was in the utmowt intress for money to carry on the redound #0 much to hie honor tha’ it would be unfair Rot to give him the full benefit of his own «iatement of them :— The declaration ot war having taken plage, the lead of the cpporition revives their plan to iD prmeerairn of the reins of government by deyriving the edmivistes tien of the menns of carrying it om, vainly imagining ‘that they ¢ ult thus control the friends of the counter and defeat (he mesures of government. Many federci men however, dissented from thoxe who were considered deaders; and though they matutained their political in- NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1855. teqrity, determined to 40 everything in their power to Dery’, arm of government. This state of aifairs af- for ded me an opp rtunity of becoming usetul, because I Yad arcertained the fact that the oppvsition party had pat much money; that the whole secret was 4 bunk papec fiction; and that, although they had the e-ntrol of the incipal bank» in the United States, and were but more ible to be influenced by whatever could be made to appear for the manifert interest of such banks, every- lag Gepenned on nego fation, which is = science to be acquires only by practice, as much as any of the me- chenical arts. On the 8th of Febuary, 1813, Congress ‘an act wu borin the borrowing of sixteen millions of dollars, ‘or this the public were invi'ed by advertisement to sendin Broponale to the Treasury Department. This appeal to the patriorism of the nation proved o lam table failure, only three millions nine hundred and iifty- six thousand four hundred dollars havirg been olfered. Serond notice was published 18th March, 1813,—See Book of Finance, wo. 2, page 646. Baving, for more thas tm years immediately precetl- ing the war, been very extensively @ in foreign ano domestic commerce, I shall not be deamed vain \o uention that I considered myself tolerably well versed in the operation and nature of the paper system, Thove circumstances cetermined me to devote a great portion of my time to raisiug money for the use of government, as I believed it stood more in need of such assistance than of any other which it waa in my power to vender. had most cheerfully subscribed to (he excellent sentiment of an eblightened atates- man, ‘that the declaration of war bad put an requisition the rervices of every American citizen.” At the com mencement of hostilities in June, 1812, [ had an im- mene eu ount of property at sea, and could uot form a correct opinion how my aifairs would wind up. Although i sustained extensive losses, 1 atill, obtained a larce amount rafe back, which placed my affairs in a favorable train, so that in'the Mareh following, when Mr. Gallatin advertired for the sixteen million loan, I was enabled to lend him twenty-five thousand dollars, and prevailed on many of my also, to furnish him with consider- able sums. Under this advertisement Mr. Gallatin pro- cured only about fonr millions. He afterwards repeated his advertisement, offering more favorable terma not only to those who should, betore a limited day, subscribe r this new advertisement, but to those who had wlrea’y subscribed at the bs under such second ad- vertisement; he then repaired to Philadelphia, and bor- rowed the deficiency of Girard, Parish aud Astor. Mr. Gallatin immediately carried into tull effect the conditions contained in his advertisement, without in- quiring whether they were favorable or unfavorable. His coustunt study in relation to his contracta was how ne could best accommodate all parties. He knew full woll that it ia the policy of all goveroments to fulfil their tracts with perfect good faith, and in such # manner an to prevent disvati«faction, inspire confidence, and in- vite the aid of moneyed men towards the accomplishment of public measures, On the other hand, he was xensi- ble that a different course of conduct would occasion dis- trust, impair the national credit, and detach the wealthy portion of the communty from the support of the government at a iime when their assistance was not only valuable, but indeed indispensavle to the general welfar., ‘The success of this loan, and the prospects that a peace would ensue from the Russian mediation, discourage! the opposition, and for a while they sppeared to sbondon the hope of prostrating the administra- tion by eripy! their resources; but the proba- bility of # speedy accommodation with the enemy having diminiahod, and money beecming more scarce, they derived fresh courage, and again renewed their exertions to prevent moneyed mer from investing th funds in publle stock. It waa now evident that the creased expenses of government, together with the rigor- cus blockade of @ principal portion of our coast, would render it requieite for government to resort to another lean to carry on its necessary operations for the year 1813, To sccomplish such loan, I considered it would only be requized for the friends of government to be active. I was, therefore, diligent in my inquiries upon the subject, and had the satisfaction to ascertain that there were affluent individuals in New York willing to form an association, and to tender to government a cun- riderable sum. To produce #o desirable an event became an object nearest to my heart, and aa there wera many federal merchants willing to embark in such laudable association, 1 wae desirous to induce some character of that descrip- tion to undertake the agency, lest if I undertook it, political prejudices, from my haviag ever been very active in ’ opposing party views of the federalists, should operate against the sub- scription, or lest it should be supposed that | was acta- ated by the commission of the m quarter of one per cent on the umount of the «um furnished, which government was in the habit of allowing to the agent by whom subscriptions were obtained, and thereby love mgpintta- evce with individuals who had ability to subscribe. This compensation would be dearly earned by the respon- sibility that would attach on the agent, and doubtless atrmulate me, or any other man of ordinary pradence, to great exertions; and when earned, we 4 id insist with the same pertinacity on receiving it, as on the re- turn of money lent. With this view of the subject, I applied to Oliver Wal cout, Esq., of New York, opened the affair to him, aod pressed him with considerable earnestness to undertake the ugeney. 1 promised, if he did ao, rcriptions for him to « large amount zeal wrich was manifested, and said he would think of ihe matter.

My solicitude for the service to be performed was strengthened by the increased violence of the oppositi n ‘and the confidence which they felt im being able to pre- vent the government from obtaining mouey; and my want ofsuccess with the gentlemen to whom I had applied at Jength determied me to take the ageucy. | accord ing y opencd a subscription book, and with much exer- tion and pains sneceeded in procuring subscribers to the loan to be offered to the United States. A large proportion of my subscriners wece feleralists But I did not stop here: { proceeded to obtata additional subscriptions, and made such further arrangements as would enable me to furnish five millions of dollars, Having thus succeeded, 1 repaired to Washington to perform what I then considered the most pleasing duty of my lite. Twas now enabled to tender to the govern ment of the country which gave me birth a loan of five millions of dollars, at a period when it wax in the atmoxt distress for money, for the purpose of defending the na- tion against the hostile attacks of a powerfil and impla- cabl On the day of my arrival at that place, Alex- . Hanson, a member from Maryland, and the re. yured editor of the Federal Republican, ‘a newspaper rinted at Georgetown, Columbis, delivered a very vio- ent speech in Congress, in which, among other thingy, he siated that the government war destitute of funds, and unable to procure a single million in all America; that the merchants would retuse to make further advances; aod that the administration bad already obtuined the vast dollar in the power of ite friends to furnish. He also ventured to declare that gentlemen who bad lent were sick of their bargain and had been deceived by the falla- cious sssurances ot Mr. Gallatin that pead® would arive ission in which he was employed, and in the the duties of which he was on the point of embarking for Russia. Mr. Hanson, in this speech, contin» +d to allege, that his information was derived from the best informed merchants in America, and that he was sensible he could not be mistaken. Ap alarm of that nature had, indeed, generally pre- yailed. St was apprehended that the goveromest would not be able to procure resources to supply its necessities, or 10 prosecute itt measures. Congress itself appeared Iejected wt the gloomy prospect which was presented.

A second trial took plac: before ® jury comprising some of Mr. Baker's bitterest evemies, and the result was, as might have been expected an unfavorsble verdict. So far, however, as pi bile opinion or the confidence of the companies in which he was in terested were concerned, this verdict failed to affect hi character in the least. The different ineurauce compa ules of which he was a member, passed reslations ex pressing the fullest ccnfidence in his integrity, Mr Barker, of course, could not rest under the stigma of tue unjust verdict that bad been rendered! agalowt him, an he sccordingly applied to have it set aside. Judge Ver milyea Celivered an elaborate judgment in the case, de cidirg that the application should be granted, It would oeeupy too much of our «pace were we to parrate the farther legal proceedings resorted to to de stroy the character of this much injured man. We hare ©. only alluded to them thus particularly to point out a feature which illustrates the consistency of the course pursued by the edftor of tiis paper on all questions in which the interests of the public and the honcr and repu- tation of individuals are concerned, ‘The preva of thie city, with but few exceptions, has always been sbamefully subservient to the Wall street and bankinginterests, To no care was this servile spirit more glaringly manitest than in the various proceedings by which it was sought to crush and ruin Mr. Barker. In his trial om the duelling law for sending a challenge to one of bis opponents, the New York papers generally were fo afraid to encounter the hostility of hin persecu- tors that they refused even to pudlith the recarda of the court establishing his defouce. At this interval of time such a statement would hardly be credited by those who arenot acquainted with the intimate conne:tion which exists between the financiering world and a certain class of journalism. The following letter from the proprietors ofthe New York Daily Advertiser (since defunct) will be suflicient to enlighten them on the subject :-— Manoit 6, 1822. Sm :--We bave been called upon this afiernoon by a number of gentlemen, regarding the documents of which your advertirement is composed, who, upon hearing theic Zontenta, have given us to understand that, if pabliyhe, they will involve us in difliculty with iaany of our pa- trons and friends, Not fecling willing to encounter this disturbed +tate of feeling, we are under the necessity 0 declining the insertion of the advertisement. We are, with respect, your obedient servants, DWIGHT, TOWNSEND & WALKER. Jacon Banker, Esq. It is hardly necessary for us to say—for it is matter uf history—that in the pomtion in which he was then placed as editor of the National Advocate, Mr, Bennett adopted towards Mr. Barker the rame course which he has since inflexibly pursued in hia conduct of the fHe- RAID. Unintimidated by threats, and uninfluenced by selfish considerations, he freely opened the columas of that peper to a man whom he believed to be slandered and persecuted. Ever consistent in his hostility to mo- nopolies and injustice, he took up hiv cause, ay he would to-day take up the cause of any person similarly oppressed, and rendered bim essential service. The following ac- knowledgment, to be found in the pages of thia biography, 1s but @ fair tribute to the honesty and fearlessness of his conduct:— ‘The public mind was constantly poisoned by the erro- neous statements 0; Maxwell, his inflammatory apeechos and newspaper misrepresentations, in refuting which James Gordon Bennett, Esq., then editor of the National Advocate, wax particularly useful, and did more to disa base the public mind than e other newspapers uf the nation; to bim Mr. Varker feels under lasting cbliga tion The rest of the volume relates almost entirely to politica! events, such as the election of General Taylor and the nomination of Pierce and King, in which Mr. Barker took an activo part. We are promised in a xe cond volume some fur‘her incidents of bjs life, whish, though confined to a more limited and retired sphore, are, in the history of such a man, often the most fruitful in interest.

They embrace, in this number, a description of the volcano and lava field of Masaya, a visit to which, in 1629, the old chronicler Oviedo has left us an interesting account of. It is worth quoting — He pays he bad visited Vesuvius and Etna, and enume- rates many other volcanoes; ‘but it seems to'me,"’ he con- tinues, ‘that none of these volcances are to be compared 6 that of Masaya, which, as I have said, I have seen and examined for myrelf. 1 will now relate what Taw.

However, we cannot call that whieh a enped from the crater a flame, but rather a smoke which is an bright a4 a flame. I was accompanied by wn Indian cazique, whose name war Natatime, who, when we got near the crater, #1 down, fifteen or twenty paces off, and pointed to the frightful mifice. The summit of the mountain forms a plein, covered with red, yeliow and black rocks, spotted with civerse colors. The orifice is #0 broad that, in my opinion, a musket ball could not traverse it. The depth, to the best of my Judgment, ix about one hundred and bis ty fashoms; and although it was difficult to see the be ttdm of the crater for the thick smoke and vapors, yet T could discern there a place perfectly round, aud large enough to contain a hundred cavaliers, who could play at fencing ond have more than « thiusand «pectatorn It would hold even more than that number, were it not for sti another deeper crater in the midile of it.

A porsible case at this moment occurs to the writer—claims for alleged lowes sustained by American citizens at the bombardment of Greytown are already be- fore the court, Adjudication on its t, favorable or adverse to them, will prabably elicit debate and contro- v to some extent, when before the houses of Congress for thetr fina) action in providing the ways and mens, or confirming an unfaveradle isfon. In view of the previous co ‘ations, is it urged with any justice that the Court of Claims will be‘ but # committee and its judgments a mere report?” Expense and delay are not features of the court as now nixed, or reasonably to be anticipated from anything we at present know or see connested with its action, On the contrery, it is the cheapest and will be the most edy tribunal in the country. Ita practice is free from any system of technical pleading, with its malti- plied niceties and delays. The suitor presents himself by petition stating simply the facts, uot the evidence upon which he relies. The government appears on the other hand a6 a most liberal opponent, if ean be regarded at allin that light. It does not traverse his statements or litl- gate with him, but rather overlooks the proevedings of the imant, to see that allia fairly conducted. The Jutter incurs no costs to the United States in an t. This in in striking contrast with the policy of the general go- yerpmnent towaids claimants and contestants in revenue cares, The counsel for government will not even attend at the taking of testimony, except in special cases, so the writer has been informed upon the best authority aa the commissioners are relied upon as worthy of t dence repored in them, tor a faithful discha: of duty, The government, again. hax thrown open its departments and archives to the claimant, or has shown the fall di position to do so in every case, without any bill of div @overy, to eupply him with proofs against itself, ani without expense to him. Some unreasonable consider it oppressive in government to require evidence at all, but expect it to be at onee, of its own yoli‘ion, plaintiff, witness, judge and jury against itself, Such you cannot satisfy. That which is the practice between debtor and creditor in ordinary dealings, eaunot be ob. Jected to with justice because foverament happens to be ‘one of the partios. So much for the attitude of the Uni- ted States in the court as defendant, ‘The Court of Claims in free from other sources of délvy and expense, As to the former, nearly everything will depen om the claimant himself. The collecting and taking of textim: of course, falls to hia share; he can prosecute it wit pidity or at hie leisure. The bench pees its entire part in one act, and at a angle hear ing, when the testimony is perfected and before it. Lio- lay in getting it there will devend upon the suitor. > one is to blame beeause his witness in at San Franetson or beyond seas. The government snd court do all in their power to facilitate and «peed his movements, by allowing him to take depositions almost at once, and in ‘& manner the most expeditious—in the county even whers each witners ix to be found. Notice te the counsel of the government, required to be given by th intention to take depositions, in cases whe: in ery distant, when deemed unnecessarily long. may probably be shortened by stipulation with Mr. Blair, who is not @ legal martinet in such matters. Where the claim a: ixes on the distant somfines of our empire, or beyond it, and the witness resides as far off, in every cuse the delay of testimony and hearing, in the natare of things. and without fault on the part of any gne, is no- cesearily great, and cannot be otherwise. Then, and finally as to lisbillty, te delay, the claimant in the new ccurt has noappeal to encounter; from the court, if anc- censful, he goes at once to the paymaster, Congress. His remedy, upon the whole, is now prompt. Congress, in that reapect at least, can consistently do uo better for im. conti. ENGRAVINGS.

The d Political Coalition in EnglanteUneasines Caused by it in Prancemlase of Bellemarre, the Altempt- ed Regicide— Measures of Internal Improvement in Opere tion by the Government—Court Festivities in Himor of tv Duke and Duchess of Brabant, In political circles a good deal of interest, not to any uneasiness, {6 attached till to the rumors of a coalition in England among leading men, with a view of bringing ¢ wartoaconclusion, The French evidently have a morbid @ vad of being left in the “lurch’’—that fs, ansupported {a a war which hae ever been considered more of a politi- eal than popular character; and notwithstanding the re- P ‘ted frankness of the language of Lord Decby, Sir Bul- wer Lytton and others, a» stromg opiuioe prevails that ‘there ts something in it.” A weekly paper, called the Presa, which waa set up by the “country party” about two years ago, ix kauwn! to receive many of its inapira tions directly from Mr. Disraeli, and om the subject which has lately called public attention to bis party, there ix B doubt whatever that many of tho articles are from hi. pen. One on Saturday last, is, in fact, treated ax a species of Disraeli mani esto, in which the following lan guage is employed — ‘The great mana of hose who are real ance of the war, irrespective of it act, for a eontinu rope, and leac to sume great political ¢ kino they neither know nor care—which will raise new kingdoms into existence, and overthrow established gov. ernments. If the war is to be continued for this purpose, let us plainly understand it, and let us take on it the decision of the Legislature and the coun'ry. Bat dono’ let us be forced into a new war without the «lightest comprehension of its purposes. We prefer to revert to the object for which the Western Alliance was formes, and for which the sword was unsheathed. If the integ: rity ot the lurkish empire can ever be aseured, it can be ustured now. In distinct opposition to politicians of every class, who assert, on any kind of pretence, that now is the time to reduce or cumquer Hunasls, we «ay that now {+ the time to receive proparals which’ shall taicly and folly fulfil the objects contended for by all classes « politicians when the war commenced. It is held that em argument of thix kind cannot fail to unite in its support many shades of oplnion ; muny grave politiclans on thia side of the channel imagine they me in itthe nucteus of a party which will ultimately sueceed in breaking up the Aliance However, it will probably strike your readers that the term “re ceive proporla’’ is, after all, begging the ques tion, and supposing the humility of Rnasis euch will compel ber to make thom.

The se:vanta were all in State livertes, but the marerchals of the palace were neither 60 numerous uw #0 gorgeously arrayed as then, though, to one who had not witnessed the former entertainment, nothing would bave seemed to be lacking. The salle a manger, too, was loam gorgeously fitted up. It musi be a perfect science to be able thux to preserve the dit- ferent gradations of splendor, and apply them in exact proportion te the ignky of the guest.

Fifty-nine of the prisoners taken on that occasion hare now been tried, and forty seven convicted, some ot whum have been sentenced to trann- portation to a place out of the ter/itory of the emptre, ethers to simple transportation, and the remainder to ten and five years imprisonment. The trial elicited consider. uble interest at the Court of Asrizer of the Maine-et I oire. The principal prisoners declared that they had unter taken the insurrection to overthrow the government an entublich a republic; others paid they had taken part in it because they had been told that all France was in» state of insurrection; and others again, that they had done so without eaactly knowing what they were doing. One of them declared thaton the triumph of the democratic and socialistic republic, real property to the amount of 6,600,060,000 fr., belonging to their political adversaries, was to be coufircated ; and that 200,000,000 fr. of the ram would be employed tn extablishing the droit au tre cal, and 160 000,000 fr. in constructing villages ta Africa, to which political adversaries wouli be trans ported.
