Again and again it is necessary to re-state Yesterday a poor stone cutter, who had been arrested gross and insulting language towards the Emperor, brought before the Tribunal of Correctional Police, 4 M. Genreau, the Avocat Imperial, in withdrawing the gecution, took the opportunity of stating “that the Frit of the decree of amnesty was as extensive as possi- ye; that it embraced the prosecutions commenced as as the condemnations pronounced, and quashed not the sentences delivered, but all offences in political 8 committed previously to its promulgation.” The pmporor, he said, wished to add one glory more to all his her glories—to eflace the last traces of crimes and fences caused by civil discords, and not to leave in the yearts of those who thought they could extend their hatred » him, any other sentiments than those of admiration for greatness of mind and gratitude for his clemency. M. enreau again repeated, that all the prosecutions now com henced for political offences were, therefore, abolished, nd that all the prisoners brought forward, after having m remanded, must enjoy the immunity resulting from decree of the 16th inst. ‘There is little question of the popularity which’this gene- | amnesty is sure of bringing tothe Emperor.

The polt nt prudence of the step on the part of the Emperor can- tt be over-estimated. To a Freuchman exile is more in lorable than to the denizens of any other nation.

It is awondert secret, 18 this love of country where: everyting is fickloness perso fied; and it serves to keep France a mighty nation, what- ever may be her form of government. Napoleon may hopefully contemplate in that mysterious brain of his the time when Frenchmen generally must gerry thelr ranks, and may think they are more likely to do so effectually by being for the future under his own immediate eye. On the Emperor and Empress arriving at St. Sauveur they found a triumphal erected not far from the Park de la Reine Hortense. Their Fos age had recently passed through ‘Torbes, where the bishop and clergy met them, and the former, as spokesman, took the oppor- tunity of reminding Napoleon that his mother, Queen Hor- tense, had, in these regions, dedicated no end of chapels to the Virgin, particularly the chapel of Poeylaun, valley of Arznos, It wag, he said, in that venerated tem- ple, of which she was the benefactress, that Queen Hor- tenge came, in July, 1807, by the foundation of general mass, to derive consolation after a great loss which had afflicted her maternal heart, and to demand from the Virgin of Poelaun a signal favor—a public ceremony ou the 5th of May, 1808, certifed by process verbal at Poey- Jaun, and a letter of the Abbe Rome, chaplain to Queen Hortense. From that her prayers were heard, She had given birth to the Prince who, forty years after, was to save France. At St. Sauveur, we are assured that all the young ladies of the best families, dressed in the ancient costume of the country, came forward te present a bouquet to the Em- press.” ‘The house prepared for the imperial family is at the southern SoS ce and Car view of the plains Pleasure grounds, Eogish style, stretch below the house. The imperial suite occupies a sega houge. But while arch spirit at St. Sauvour, the fermentation his magic hand created in the fair re- gions of Italy shows no symptom of abatement. The country seems determined to make its voice heard, and the opinion daily gains ground in diplomatic circles here that Tuscany, Modena and Parma have seen the last of their Grand Dukes. Ne begin to take every day a more refreshing view of the sudden peace, and to believe that Napoleon Knew what he said when he stated that the advantages resulting from it would more and more disclose themselves. His promise that no force should be brought to bear on the Duchies is believed to be equiva- Tent to a sentence of ostracism on the former sovereigns, while he incurs no great responsibility. At tho same time, as if to pr his freedom from any personal objects, gud his desire toMtand well with the ts, the Hy, OF as it is the Journal de V’ , is placed at the services of the Duchess of Parma, Meanwhile, M. Farini, Dictator of Modena and Parma, is going ahead, issuing two decrees, one appointing Professor Manfredi Chief of the Civil Administration of Parma, and another enact- ing that from the lst of September the customs line be- tween Parma and Modena shall be suppressed. Yesterday, the 24th, the National Assembly of Modena unanimously voted the following decrees:—I. Confirma- tion of the dictatorship of M. Farini with full powers, and authorization to contract a loan of five millions. 2. Erec- tion of a monument to commemorate the vote of the fall of Francis V. and of the annexation of Piedmont. 3. volunteers in the war of independence have merited well of their country. 4. The Dictator is charged to negotiate with tho Powers in order to obtain the return of the poli- tical prisoners banished by Francis V. ‘The Seicle yesterday , in commenting on the role adopted by the Pays in relation to the Duchess of Parma, takes leave toask the following questions:—Is it true that on the part of the two Emperors there was no reserve in favor of the Duke Robert? When Napoleon III. and Francis Jo- seph promised their good offices, while always setting aside the principle of armed intervention, in order to pro- cure the recall of the Dukes of Modena ‘and Tuscany, is it true that the names of the Duchess and her son were never mentioned? If this be the case, why does the Jour- nal deVEmperor show itself so violent to the restoration of a Princess whose virtues and misfortunes we respect; ‘but who, like other members of her family, has not known how to retain the affections of the people over whom she was called to rule? A telegraph from Berne yesterday states that the ques- tion of the Duchies is to be arranged directly between Paris and Vienna. What does this imply? ‘The new medal instituted by the Emperor in memory of the campaign of Italy is to be modified. It is to be sur- mounted by an imperial crown, says the Patrie. But, in fact the striking off of these meduls has been suspended. If any conclusion is to be drawn from the addresses voted it and other towns in the north of sty has lost none of his popularity by late a ean be more laudatory, more grateful, even to fulsomeness, than the ex) ms used. Of Je- Tome ‘Napoleon, the younger, m is heard. His cue seems to be for the moment the most profound sileneo. France, by a moditication of the decree of 1858, is now to be divided into seven great military commands, includ- ing Algeria, each command to be confided to a Marshal of the Empire. The following are the dates of the births of the various Marshals now inactive service:—D. Castellane 1788; Vaillant, 1790; Magnan, 1791; Peliesier, 1794; Reg- naud de St. Jean d’Angely, 1794; Baraguay d’Hilliers, 1795; Canrobert, 1809; and Bosquet, 1809. ‘A report was very general last wok that a duel had taken place between Canrobert and Niel, ineonsequemce of the late misunderstanding Ser! to carsiod by the former to the The ferino, and that Canrobert had received a mortal wound. Itproved to be one of those canards so prevalent just v5 put the popularity of Canrobert stands so deserved- ty bie ‘ail classes that the mere report caused a sensation in the capital that could not be otherwise than flattering to the Marshal’s feelings. The Emperor is evidently bent on allaying tho jealous fears of England. All soldiers whose term of service ex- pires in 1869, and who are now with their regiments, are to be sent to their homes by anticipation, and inscribed on the lists of the reserve at the recruiting depots, which will be charged to deliver the discharge. Six months fur- lough are to be given to every one who since their admis sion to the army can furnish proof that their services aro indispensable to the support of their families. Nothing can exceed the enthusiasm of the reception given to the various regiments ax, being drafted off from St. Maur to various destinations in France, they have marched through the principal districts. Everywhere it has been the same. Yesterday the Fifteenth regiment, which distinguished itself at Magenta and Solferino, made its triumphal entry into Rouen. The road was lined with spectators, whose acclamations rent the air, The National Guard tufned out, with the Gencral commanding the military division of the district; triumphal arches wero erected; and young girls preceded the gallant fellows scat- tering bouquets. P Paris is fuller of foreigners than it has been for some time past. The Hotel du Lonvre makes up 1,100 beds each night, and all the other hotels are proportionately full. ‘The Various boarding houses are rejecting customers by the dozen, and everywhere there are symptoms of a ces- sation of that long aud weary period of staguation which was generated by the dark clouds that so long have over- hung the political horizon. The great heat has passed away, though in the middle of the day it is still excessive. The Bois de Boulogne and the Bois Catalan were never in such request. Every night, betwixt seven and eight o'clock, carriages by hundreds may be scen rolling down the avenue de 'Imporatrice towards that fairy land, and there they remain till long after midnight, recreating in the autumnal breeze as it sweeps pleasantly over tho glassy surface of the broad lake. It is impossible to ima- gine a more perfect illustration of the ‘Happy Valley” of Rasselas than this exquisite combination of grassy lawn, of woodland, forest and magniflcent sheets of water, with its rushing cascades, now presents. At night the boat- houses and the various gondolas are lit up with globe lamps of many colors, the reflection of which strikes into the depths of the lake and presents the aspect of ranges of fiery columns, as of a subaqueous ace, while the shadows of the tall trees interposing suggest the idea of a shrubbery and forest springing up from below. The lamps of the different vehicles as they flit by seem to dance backwards and forwards in the depths of the lak till, following to his mind’ s bearing adorers, the vividness of whoso flame bade deti- ance tothe powers of water. Travellers hasten on to Switzerland and its lakes, but it may be doubted whether they might not have remained at Paris and been equally gratified. Our Berlin Correspondence. Brrux, August 24, 1859.

The amazing strength of his constitution has again got the better of an attack which was generally expected to be fatal, it being evident at one time, even from the guarded language of the official bulletins, that his physicians despaired of his recovery. He is still in a very weak state, and remains confined to his bed; his eyesight, too, has suffered greatly, and he is said to be menaced with total blindness. Respecting his mental condition there are various reports in circulation; while some aver that this last fit of sickness has completed the wreck of his intellect and reduced him to hopeless imbe- cility, others are not wanting who believe that it has produced a crisis in his dise which may be attended with a most beneficial effect, and ultimately lead to the complete restoration of his intellectual faculties. This last version is favored by the conservative party, to whom the King’s name, though in the last stage of mental and physical prostra- tion, is still a tower of strength, and who have all along held out his eventual recovery a8 a bugbear to prevent the Prince Regent from proceeding too far in the liberal course inaugurated by him on his accession to power. It is certain, at any rate, that no immediate apprehensions are entertained for the King’s life; the Prince, who had been summoned to Sans Sonici by the intelligence of his brother's illness, has left Berlin again for Ostend, the Princess has gone back to Baden Baden, the other mem- vers of the royal family, the Ministers and the corps diplomatique, have dispersed on their several tours of health or pleasure which had been interrupzea or delayed by this sudden intermezzo, and public attontion js once more reverting to the grave political questions that arc still at iesne both in Italy and in ermany. The ryooncdsatig Ween TTuasia AU Austria has poy ‘Made any progress lately, and, far from diminishing, the coolness appears to be rather on the increase. This, no dowbt, is partly occasioned by the agitation for a reform of the German Confederation, which is excessively dis- agreeable to the Cubinet of Vienna, and which they sus- Bape epee iba ceca Vikas & general impression, #0, © ol “ADC contains secret stipulatfone directed expressly against this country, and which would serve to account for the readi- ness with which Austria ponies the advances of Louis Napoleon. It is well known although upwards of a century has elapsed since the conquest of Silesia by Frederick the Great, the house of Hapsburg have never got over the loss of that fine province, which is now the most precious jewel in the crown of Prussia. More than once they have endeavored to regain it, sometimes by arms, sometimes by intrigue, aud Sow they these attempts have hitherto been unsuccessful, it be hardly compatible with the characteristic tepacious- ness of Au plies: to suippons that they had been entirely abandoned. As late as the year 1850, when the overbearing conduct of Prince Schwartaenberg had brought the two countries to the brink of a war, the resti- tution of Silesia was demanded by him as an in- demnity for the expense of the Austrian armaments, and a penalty to be paid by Prussia for coquetting with the revolution; and it was qnly the intervention of the neutral Powers that compelled him to waive his pre- tensions’ and to be content with the humblo argued offered by Baron Manteuffel. It is & significant fact the official Vienna Gazdte has begun. all at once $0 penta a series of articles on the “annexation” of Silesia by Fre- derick the Great, dwelling much upon the perfidy dis- played by that monarch—w! no one will attempt to’ deny—and trying t prove that Silesia was a great’ deal under the mild —sceptre of Austria than r the harsh, bureaucratic rule of Prussia—an assertion the very reverse of truth, and which will certainly not be assented to by the inhabi- tants of that province, who, worthy Protestants, still re- member with disgust the religious persecution they were subjected to by the priest-ridden fies. of the Kaiser. Even the Catholic portion of the population are scarcely desirous to exchange the liberal régime of Prus- sia, which respects their civil, and does not interfere with their religious rights, for the ‘tender mercies of Austria; and it is not likely, therefore, that the insinuations of tho ‘Vienna print will have much effect upon them; but, like straws, they serve to show which way the wind blows. ie reconquest of Silesia would be more than an equiva- for the cession of Lom! and it is quite posgib! that some such prospect was out to Francis. by the French Emperor at their tde-a-tete interview in Villafranca, to be realised or not accor to circum- stances, but with the certainty of widening the breach already existing between the two German Powers, and of cementing tha intimacy so unexpected” jy struck up between the victor and tho van- quished of Solferino. These machinations have not escaped the Cabinet of Berlin; but for the present it can afford to regard them with tolerable equanimity. If Austria is a doubtful friend, and France a secret enc- my, the relations with Russia and England are most satis- factory, and should an unprovoked attack be made upon. Prussia she will not be lett without allies among the great Powers. What is perhaps of even greater importance, however, she will have the sympathies of all Germany in her favor, which, divided in the cage of Austria, will bo unanimous on the side of a State careged like Prussia, not in the defence of a foreign appendage, but of that na’ tional freedom and independence which has now become the object of a movement that extends through the whole and breadth of the “ Fatherland.”” e excitement in behalf of “German unity” increases daily in intensity, and can no longer be ignored either by Prussia, which is interested in supporting, or by those goy- ernments, that think themselves called upon to oppose it. I have already adverted to the held at Eiswoch and other places to discuss the question of federal reform, and with which poe org usually 80 meddlesome, have not dared to interfere. ‘Lastweek was signalized by a kind of convention, composed of members of the demo- cratic and ee which assembled at Gotha, the capital of one of the few German princes who countenance the movement, and which passed a string of resolutions, recommending the reconstruction of the Union, the election of a national parliament and the for- mation of a central gov it under the direction of Prussia. Here in Berlin, tov, meetings have been con- voked for the same purpose; fn short, the question seems to have taken full possession of the public mind, and it will not be an easy matter to lay it to sleep again. The events of '48, though followed by a and dreary period of inaction, have not been entirely without’ fruit; the nation has become conscious of its wants and its claims, of the necessity of union and the ruipous consequences of internal discord; and the example of Italy is teaching it that powerful agitation may have greater effect than revolutionary violence. ‘The position of Prus- sia is infinitely more favorable at the present moment than it was at any former epoch. If she is equal to her mission, she may gather the scattered elements of nationality and liberalism around ber, and place herself, alinest without un effort, at the head of Germany ; but, if through timidity or vacillation, she suffers this last opportunity to escape, the fatal “too lute” will once more be heard, and the popularity she now enjoys will be succeeded by deep and apt to break down ‘under it, but even the most placable of mor- tals cannot but feel somo resentmentif they are repeated!y. deceived in their just expectations. ‘A curious and’ unique claim has been raised here against Swedish government by the heirs of a mer- chant of Lubec, Jacob Kriewes by name, who in the year 1636 loaned the sum of 68,600 specie dollars—an immense capital in those days—to Juan Christina, of Sweden, the daughter of Gustavus Adolphus, for the prosecution of the Thirty Years’ War. The interest was fixed at eight per cent, or §,400 specie doliars (about equal to, an_American dol lar) per annum, by which, without charging compound interest, but only adding the yearly amount for upwards of two centuries, the debt would fuot up to near one and a half millions of dollars. The bond, as well as all docu- ments relating to the loan, are extant, so that it is thought the Swedish government ‘will not be able to resist the claim, though it will be a heavy sum for a poor country like Sweden to pay. The statute of limitations, if such a law exist'in that ‘country, ‘cannot be pleaded, a8 the heirs have given notice to the Swedish Diet every year up to the present time, demanding repayment of capital and in- terest, which is proved by a long series of legal documents, all duly registered and certified. The case has been taken in hand by a Prussian lawyer, M. de Nordenskiold, District Attorney at Beerkow, near Berlin, who, fortunately for his clients, is of Swedish extraction, and will be able to plead their cause in his mother tongue. The day appoint ed by the Diet for hearing his argument is the 16th of September, where M. de Nordenskiold will appear person- ally at Stockholm to substantiate the claim. Affairs in Italy. SPSECH OF THE KING OF SARDINIA ON ITALIAN AFFAIRS. The deputation appointed to present to the King of Sar- dinia the medal which has been struck by a private gocie- ty, in commemoration of the words pronounced by his Majesty on his opening the session of the Piedmontese Parliament on the 10th of January last, had the plea- sure of an audience on the 20th. Count Mamiani, Presi- dent of the committee, reminded his Majesty of the me- morable words, “We are not insensible tothe cry of grief which we hear from every part of Italy.” His Majesty replied as follows:— Ithank you for your beautiful present. Ever since it has been in my power I have consecrated my efforts to the great national cause. I have it constantly before my mind; Tlive for it, and am ready to die for it. Difticulties and misfortunes arise which must be surmounted, and they cer- tainly will, for I have wituessed the courage and discipline of which the Italians are capable. Under present circum- stances it has been impossible to go further, as 1 might have wished. In the midst of past sorrows I’ have found great consolation in seeing that the Italians have under- stood me, and have not entertained a doubt concerning me. The masses, blinded by excessive enthusiasm, are sometimes led astray. I might have pardoned such false stops, but I repeat that Ihave nothing to reproach them with.’ Itscems incredible that some countries that are unfavorable to us do not or will not believe that there is nothing obscure or insidious in my policy. Frankness and straightforwardness are its companions—perbaps it is the going straight to the object in view that creates displea- sure. The Italian question is very clear, and it is no doubt on that account that they will not understand it. The union, perfect order, and wisdom which the people of Tuscany, the Duchies, and the Romagna now display are admirable, I certainly did not think that Italy was inca- pable of acting so, still the spectacle of such an attitude affords me great pleasuee. Have, therefore, faith in me, geuticmen, and be assured that now as well as in future f shall do everything in my power to promote the welfare of Italy. NAPOLEON'S LATEST SECRET MISSION TO ITALY— SKETCH OF PRINCE PONIATOWSKI. [Paris (August 24) correspondence of the London Times. The choice of M. Joseph Poniatowski by the French government for, it is said, a special mission. to Florence, has excited some surprise in Paris, and no doubt in Tus? cany. According to the best credited reports, he is em- ployed to do what M. Reiget, itis feared, has done imper fectly, if altogether failed in—the restoration of the Grand puke of Tuscany. Various difficulties were in the. way of M. Roiset; but there are others of @ peculiar kind which attach to ‘the new envoy. Strictly speaking, M. Ponintowski belongs to no “nationality” in particular. When old Prince Poniatowski died at Florence, in 1838, the Emperor of Russia is said to have declined recogniz” ing the title in his children; and the property left by the Prince in Russa and in Poland, and also the family heir- laimed and obtained by Col. Vanzowich, who ed himself the only real heir of that branch of” that jowski fumily. The title which the Emperor of Rus- sia would not grant appears to have been refased also by the Grand Duke of Tuscany, and it was only after some years and repeated efforts that M. Poniatowski re- ceived it from the Emperor of Austria. ‘The newly named Prince was appointed Tuscan Minister at Paris, was a few Years after removed from the post, and finally obtained, through his family connections, naturalization as a French subject, and was appointed Senator by the Emperor of the French, Since then M. Pouiatowski has almost exclusive- ly devoted himself to industrial pursuits, in which he is said to have been eminently suocessful.’ But, whatever his qualifications for his present thorny mission, the Tus- cans must have seen witha little surprise an Austrian prince come among them in the person of M. Poniatowski; and this will be one of the greatest difficulties in his way. It is true that he is a near connection of M. Walewski, the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, and has the addition. aladvantage of being a first rate singor. Indeed, as an amateur vocalist, he is said to have fow rivals, if any, among the exalted body (the Senate) of which ‘he is a membor. LETTER FROM GARIBALDI.

[From the Liverpool News, August 26.} ‘This meeting, which has been so long spoken ‘of in turf and other circles, came off yesterday on the Aintree course, and was attended by a very large number of Spectators, and ae the day was very favorable, and the ground in éxcellent order, an additional attraction was the result. Our friends from across the Atlantic mustered very strong—in fact, few American captains, and others of respectability in town, were absent on the interesting occasion. The arrangements made for this meeting were excellent, and a considerable number of the fair sex graced the stands. The attraction was much enhanced ‘by the fact that the sport had assumed a of national acter—America against Old Englandg@ad both par- ties appeared confident of success, and thus considerable excitement was manifested. When Paget, who rode Daw (which won the first: heat), eame in, the cheering ‘was immense and enthusiastic.’ In the second heat, Jack Rossiter was the selected of the American division, and he made the running at an immense pace, seking = oes Jead of some lengths for the first time round, but at the Daw took the lead.

CENTRAL PARK. The Saturday afternoon concert by Dodworth’s Band at the “Ramble’’ in the Central Park yesterday attracted a crowd estimated at from five to seven thousand persons, and if the sky had not been threateningly overcast, doubtless the number would have been much larger. ‘The ladies were out in great force, but the proportion of children was less than usual. All present were well be- haved people, generally elegantly attired, and seemed to enjoy the flue music exccedingly. There were about fifty carriages on the ground, about a score of horsemen, and we noticed four very pretty young ladies on horse. back, just in the rear of the band. The number of seats has been increased considerably, but still there is great Want. of accommodation in this respect. The Ramble grows more and more beautiful, and these free open air Concerts ure evidently gaining in popular favor. CARROLL PARK, BROOKLYN. Carroll Park was, if anything, more crowded yesterday afternoon than on the two previous Saturdays, to hear the music of Shelton’s Band. The Park was not only full, but the sidewalks of the neighboring streets were full of peo- ple, while a number of carriages containing spc stood along the curbstones. Those concerts are a de- cided sycerss, and grow more popular as the season ad- vances. Brooklyn City New ROBBERY OP THE BROOKLYN Post Orvick.—The Brooklyn Post Office, situated in Montague street, near Court street, was feloniowly entered by means of false keys some time yesterday morning, and robbed of all the money contained inthe letters, although it appears that checks and orders for money were not taken; most of them were, however, mutilated. The burgars proceeded with their business in asystematic wanner, by first examining all letters in the delivery boxes, then the private boxes, and next the Long Islind mail bag, which was ready to be despatched at half-past seven 0 . The drop let- ter box was also relieved. Some of the letters were torn, whilst great care wae evidently taken in opening others. A light in the delivery department enabled the operators to see what they were doing, while they were at the same time screened from observation from the street in coasequence of the high partition dividing the delivery from the distributing department. On an exa- mination made this morning it was found that 524 letters had been oped; and the money taken, it is estimated, amounts to detween $2,000 and $3,000. The burglars were doubtless well acquainted with the premises. No suspicion as yet rests against any one... ‘Tur Exrenson or Hammuron Avenve.—The opening of Hamilton ayeaue from Smith street to Third ayenue was celebrated last night by a display of fireworks and music by Rohn’s Bend, The improvement is of importance to the citizens of the Eighth ward, inasmuch as it shortens the distance fom Hamilton ferry to Greenwood by about half a mile. A drawbridge constructed over Gowanus creck, on the line of this avenue, is the largest wooden structure of tie kind in the State, being 188 feet long and 80 fect wide. The abutments have two wings, 26 ahd 20 feet each. ‘There is a centre pier 39 feet square, on which the draw works. In making these structures 800 piles were driven making coffer dams, which are filled in with stone. The avenue, which is not yet fully graded, or paved) wil contain, when finished, 2,208 fect of filling, ata cost of $20 97 per running foot, making a total ex: pense for grading and paving of $70,336 40. The contract price for the bridge is $36,977 78. The work was com- menced on the 19h of September, 1857, and completed ‘on the 13th of July, 1859. The completion of the bridge and the oponing of the avenue was considered a subject for rejoicing by the citizens of the Eighth ward, and a demaon- Stration was accordingly made last evening.

Lord Seymour had grown very stout. His medical attendant had advised him to take exercise, voyages, the waters and sea buths, but he was determined to pass the summer jn Paris. The great heat was fatal to him, An infamma- tory malady, already nearly cured, but which an attuck of gout had complicated in an unexpected manner, car- ried off Lord Seymour, Lord Seymour was a man of the world in the full senso of the term, and a man of a great deal of talent. He was, in his youth, possessed of herculeam strength, and ldap nearly all young men, was fond of abusing it. Some- imes he would seek for opportunities to wrestle with the strongest men in the market, with wagoners and men who passed for the most robust and formidable, He was. very fond of pleasure, and like all young men also, he pursued it.with avidity, his large fortune making tt easier to him than'to others. He thus acquized the reputation of being @ passionate liver, which did not seek, and which he did not even deserve. Not w folly could be perpetrated in Paris, nor. conld. here be @ noixy party, a masquerade, or ny orgie characterized by ai uproar aud whipping of the \- men, which was not all put down to account of Lord Seymour. This afterwards became to him the source of Teal apnoyance. Ls ‘That bad reputation of Lord Seymour once prevented a great diplomatic complication in France, It was in tho Year 1825, towards the end of January. M. de Rothschild gave a grand ball. ‘The invited guests were so numerous, and the file of carriages 80 long, that for nearly nine hours the passage in the rue Lafitte and on the Boulevard was entirely intercepted. Some young gentlemen who had been dining atthe Mai- son d’Or, and who wished to go to the Opera, vainly at- tempted to cross the street. © carriages touched each other, and it was found absolutely necegsary to take a very circuitous route, or else to pass under the horses bellies.

You may judge of their stupefaction. But the ‘was effected before they could seek an e: lanation o sh. astrange adventure. They did not understand it until some time afterwards, and then German patience gave place to the the most violent anger. On entéring the saloons of M. de Rothschild, the diplo- matist was as red as a cock’s comb. His’ gray eyes flashed like fire. He recouhted the adventure, and the. insult which had been shown towards him. His auditory could not avoid laughing, which completed the exasperation of the German. ‘The same evening he addressed a diplomatic note to the President of the Council concerning the violation of his coach. A great many notes were exchanged. The diplomatist demanded his passports. ‘The President of the Council feigned that he wished todo him justice.” An inquiry was ordered for the discovery of the name of the guilty party—that is, of him who first crossed through the coach. The inquiry was fully successful, and some days after- wards the tist was convinced that the guilty party was none other than Lord Seymour. France was free from blame, and now it waste cs that he had to make his complaints. That the whole state of things. At that period France did not. know, as at present, what to do, in order to cause herself to be respected abroad, and it was believed that peo- ple were permitted to do as they pleased with her.

He has contributed more than any ‘person to diffuse among the French the love of sport, of beautiful horses, and. the amelioration of the whole race of horses and mares He has cultivated the love of racing in France, and was the true founder of the Jockey Club, because it was around him that there assembled all those who have created that institution, which is at present of so much importance. Lord Seymour has been the Knight of St. George of our day. There was no master of arms, and it will be some time before there will be any, that could compete with him It is said that Lord Seymour, who has left a fortune of 900,000 francs, has made no will. Old domestics, whose lon; services he intended to reward, have thus been fi in their expectations. But those who know the character of Lord Hertford, the brother of Lord Seymour, are very certain that the wishes of the deceased will be carried out, notwithstanding the absence of « will. The London News, of the 26th of August says, in refe- rence to the deceased nobleman:—It is stated that after the funeral of Lord Henry Seymour, which took place early in the morning of last Saturday, at Pere la Chaise, in his mother’s vault, only attended by Lord Hertford, Vicomte Daru and five members of the Jockey Club, his will was opened, and the hospitals of Paris were found to have inherited a rent roll equal to £36,000 sterling per an- author” stranger 3 ‘he Sonn ‘pote cll of Ministers had cleverly protited by his repu- buced France. every effort was made for that purpose; they were mo- meniarily expecting to see the bursting out of the flames, Dut it was not until the hook and ladder company had with their axes cut a passage through the lower part of the house, that the location of the fire was seen; he was of opinion that everything that could be done was done to save the building and to deliver the unfortunate inmates. num.

John M. Patterson, police officer, stated that he passed the house at about half-past two o'clock in the morning; he saw a light, and heard a person walking from the bar. room towards the billiard room, but could not tell who it was; he was somewhat surprised at seeing a light, but on reflection he knew that it was Mr. Baese’s habit to sit up lite whenever he had a party in the house. Witness had occasion to go to the ferry, but he was not there than a few minutes, and on returning sat down on the steps for a little time. Some other corroborative testimony of little importance was taken, and the jury retired to consider their verdict, which they shortly after returned, in substance, that the deceased parties died by suffocation, but that the origin of the fire was unknown. The Coroner thereupon thanked and dismissed the jury. Mrs. Baese, the widow of the unfortunate proprietor, is in a miserable state of mind. It will be some time before she recovers her equanimity of thought and action. Her daughter, Miss Baese, although wounded and dis- been in mind, is doing as favorably as could be cx- pected. The last sad rites for the dead will be performed at ten o’clock this Sorcery morning, in the city of Hoboken, when it is expected that thousands will be present. The funeral procession will move from Baumer’s Hotel, Hud- son street, to be churched according to the rites of Catho- licity. ‘The father and his olive branches, so young and 80 fair, will be laid down to rest in the same tomb, and one earthen pillow shall support their heads, ‘Those who have been faithful in life, and who have thus suddenly Vey ta to their account, shall not be separated in jeath.

A Dassevse vs. 4 Hackmay.—The well known danseuse, Maria Hennecart, visited the Mayor's Office yesterday morning, in the novel réle of a complainant against a public hackman. She made affidavit to the fact that on her arrival here in the Ariel she employed the driver of hack No. 298 to convey her baggage, consisting of five trunks, two carpet bags and four boxes, to No. 667 Houston street. For these services the ungallant driver demanded the exorbitant sum of $7, and positively refused to give up the baggage until the receipt of the amount. The Mayor administered a wholesome rebuke to the hack- man,gfined him $5 for overcharging, and compelled him to refund the $7 which he had received from the fair Hennecart. ANoTneR ScHoornstness IN TROUBLE.—Brucé, alias Me- Alpine, was arrested yesterday morning, and brought be- fore Alderman Brady, of the City Hall Police Court, on a charge of having swindled a schoolmistress out of sundry small amounts of money, a quantity of baggage, a gold watch and other articles of jewelry. ‘The man, it appears, advertised for a schoolmistress to go South, and was ac- cordingly visited by the complainant at the Clinton - place Hotel. He represented himself to the unsuspecting wo- man as a Southern planter in want of a governess for his children, who had been deprived of their mother by death. The young woman, not dreaming that there was anything wrong, engaged with Bruce, and immediately brought her baggage to his hotel. While stopping here he managed to send her baggage away, and humbugged her out of the other articles mentioned above. The prisoner appeared ie court with counsel, and asked for a delay to procure vitnesses, which was denied. He was committed to the ‘Tombs in default of $2,000 bail.

During the week frost has made its appearance on no less than four oy and seems to have extended pretty well over the entire State, We have accounts of its ravages at Saginaw, Grand Ra- pids, Kalamazoo and Jonesville, from which we judge that no partof the State has escaped its visitation. Buckwheat, it is said, is most injured of any article, and in some Jo- calities will not produce so much as was sown. Corn ig not so much injured, although it is seriously damaged, and some farmers have already cut theirs for fodder.
