Jowing correspondence between Captain Aldham, of the British, and Captain Leroy, of the French Navy:-- H. B. M.’s Sp Vatorovs, Jan. 28, 1861. ‘The underrigned has the honor to acquaint Captain Le- roy of the fact, which may be unknown to him, that the said General Miramou has committed u gross violation of intervational law, in baving authorized and caused tbe house of the British iegation to be broken into, ite seals destroyed, and a large sum of money to ve seized, bolong- ing to British subjects. this flagrant outrage bas been condemned in the so vorest terms by the President and his goverument, who have pledged themseives to use their utmost endeavors to apprehend and bring to condign punishment ihe per- petrators, Should it be the case that General Miramon or apy of bis late advwers or officers are under the protection of the French tleg, the honor of that and those who are un- der it will be seriousiy involved uf they wilfully sanction the escape of those who have commited 20 gross an of- fenee. The friendly relations thut exist between the Frencb Imperial government and that of Great Britain will suggest to the captain of Le Mercure that tho inte- rests avd honor of both nations are identical. An inguit to one flag 1s equally to the other. As tho violation and spohation of the British Legation is a gross outrage and sult to her Britaunic Majesty’s government, it muat be obvious to the captain of Le Mercure that thore is a ga- cred obligation and duty in him to aid, in every possible way, tho bringing to justice the pe , and the un- dersigned trusts that if any of them who may be sup- posed to be implicnted in Bo grogs an offence ure on beard or under the protection of the French tlug, Captain Lerey will, no doubt, after the above explanation, see the imperative necessity of their being banded over to tho authorities of Vera Cruz for the purpoge of their be- ing brought to trial. ALDEAM. On Boar Lx Mxacune, Jan. 29, 1861. The underelgned has recetved the communication which tho commander of the English naval forces in the Guif of Mexico hes done him the honor to acd thin under date of yesterday. ‘The undersigned will not disgemble that this com- municanon bas caused bim the greatest powiblesurprise, and, to a certain point, an offence. The undersigned understands, it would seem, the hovor of the flug in quite another sense from whut Capt. aAldbam does; tor if the ox President of the Mexican re- b)ic or auy Of his partisans had come to take refuge on oard the veesel he commands ho would consider that ho had altogether failed in his duty if he delivered them up to their adversaries. ‘The undersigned appreciates as he ought tho alliance which exiats between fngland and France, but hia desire to assist, af far as it i in bis power, m protecting Hnglish interests will never induce him to forget bis duty as a French officer.

Such outrages against legution right and violation of international Jaw, the undersigned submits, all nations are Jy interested in repressing There are other charges against Gen.

The people, # ® nation, desire annexatien to Hayti; and 4 short period since symptoms of a revolution for this purpose were discovered by the government, and anumber of the most zealous annerationists were shot.

The week just paased bas been most exciting and evont- ful. The Committes of Safety, clothed with plenary powers by the Convention, and representing that body during ita short recess, have beon in session here, with a view te obtaining possession of the foderal property, which amounts to a largo sum, abd was guarded by only one hundred and fifty troops. Of course the rumors fly- ing about the streets were innumerable, and of every hue. It was known thet tho committee had demanded of the Genoral of this department the surrender to the State of the arms, ammunition, stores, horses, mules and property of every kind belonging to the federal govern ment then in the State of Texas; and that ho bed appointed a military commission to treat with them, consisting of throw offlcers—Major Macklin, Major Vinton and hpt. Whitely— the two jast Northorn men by birth asd education. Day aftor day passed, and the commitieo aad the commission were unabie to agree. The exctlemont increased evory hour, when the news arrived that Genoral Twiggs had been superceded, and a courier was about to bo dis- patehed to summon his successor to Beadquartors. The messenger was Feized before he got out of town by Cap. tain Tobin, who dintinguished bimeolf some months ago in the Cortinas war at the Rie Grande. It bad beon de- termined he should be intercepted ms noon as he got out of town, and Captain Tobin, who is now acting as aid to Colonel McCullough, suspecting a man whom he saw to be the oxpross, ina most adroit maanor accosted him in the agsumed capecity of a policeman, and before rescue could be had he was marched oct of sight of tho soldiers, on whom he celied for assietance. Vriday night orders ‘were issued to thone volunteer companies who had of- fered their services to the committees to assemble ‘srmed and equipped for active and immediate service, at the armory of the K.G. C.'s, and report w Colonel Ben. McCulloogh. Of these there were six—four enrolled some time ginee by the Mayor of the clty—two of which, on bie roquisition, refused to turn out. Their services were not, as the event proved, needed; and, as they were compoved principally of men known to be submissionista, who would probably, & they dared oxpress their true seutimente, be also binck republicans, it t@ a source of gratitication to us that we were not calied on te piaco any confidence in them. The other companice were the Alamo Rifles and tho San Ao- tonio Guard, the last composed of the young men of the K. G. ©.’s, who comprise in their Order mamy of the old Texans, and the wealthieet and mort influential men of the community, Those of the Order who had not en- rolled in the Sam Antonio Guard, under Captain Wileox, word lod by the Captain of the Castle, Major W. J. Clarke, for not @ man of them was willing to be left ont, and those whom the Captain bad not summoned, owing eithor to the shortness of the time or their ago, regarded them- selves aa defrauded of an honor, Soon after midnight we aevembiod, with forty rounds of ball cartridges in our cartouche boxes, and waited for our orders, which were givon at four o'clock, whem, with joaded muskets, we marched quietly, without beat of drum, to our posta, near the Uniied tes barracks, on ‘tho bridges and other spota to be guarded. When it was light enough to ewe I discovered that a was ocoupied by Texans, a thounand of whom marched ip under Colonel McCullough and takon their positions as quietly as regular troope coul1 have done, hooters wore stationed on the roof of all the houses which over- looked the arrenal yard, where about two dozen cannon wero placed. Kvery man expected to fight, and not one that I could nee ehowed the least eympiom of foar. It would have been impossible to man a gun, as these ex- pert ridemen could havo picked of evory soldier ‘with as much ease as they show in knocking over Adeor, Hour after hour wore away, and our patienoo diminished in an inverse ratio vo the’ increase of our ap- Petites. At ten o'clock wo had been six hours at our post, and, judging from appenrances, wore likely to re- maly #ix hours more. There wan evidently a hiteh some whero, The machinery did not move go smoothly as had been expected. What did it mean? if we were brought there to overawe the United States troops, would the length of our stay increaso the effect produced by our numbers? “Otve ve something to do, or at loaat some- thing to eat,” was the cry; but two hours more parsed dod we got neither.

Virginia has the long looked for and Pca ad peace offering before her— ano she bas more, ehe bas the denial of all of pence, Civil war must now come. Sectional war, declared by Mr, Lncoln, awaits only the signal gun from the insulted Fouthern confederacy, to light ita horrid fires all along the borvers of Virginia. No action of our Convention can pow tnaintain the peace, She must fight! Tho liberty of choice % yet hers. Sbe may march to the contest with hor sister Staves of the South, or ehe must march to the coptiict aganst them. There ie left no middie course; there is left no more peace; war must settio the conflict, and the God of batile give victory to the right! We must be invaded by Davis or by Lincoln, The for- mer can rally fifty thousand of the best and bravest sons of Virginia, who will rush with wiilmg hearts and ready hands to the standard that protets the rights snd defends the henor of the Sou:h—tor every traitor heart that offers aid to Lin- coln there will be many, many who will glory in the op- porsunity to avenge the treason by a 8 and certain death, Let not Virginiang be urrayed against each other, and since wo cannot avoid war, let us determine that to- gether, a8 people of the same state we, will defend each other and preserve the sotl of the State from the pollut- ing foot of the black republican invader. © question, “where sball Virginia go?” is answered by Mr. Lincoin. She must go to war—and sbe must de- cide with whom she ware—whether with thoge who have suitered hor wrongs, or with thoee who have inflicted hor iwjuries. ‘Our ulimate destruction fags before the present emer- gency.

In an article in the Unionist of the 2d instant, referring to my fon, it is stated that ho ‘had volunteered his ser- vices and Bworn allegiance to Alabama, halt been made captaim ot the Mobile Washington Light Tufuntry and ook possession of the United States Arsonal at Mount Vernon near Mobile.” It was not a question of volan- tering, but of obeying sn order from his superior officer. The facts are, that shortly after he went to Mobile to reside (four years ago), he joined that company, and was olect- ed captain of it two years eince; and whon the Governor of Alabama ineved his order for the taking of the arse- nal, bis company was detailed, with three others, for that service, ander the command of Colonel Leadbetter. He took the oath of allegianos to the State when he reosived bis commission, a8 if the case with every military officer who holds # commisaion from the State of New Jorsoy. With reference to the rumor that the militia of Eliza beth was to act ass guard of honor to him on his return from New York, I do not believe that there was any ia- tention of the kind; at any rate, my gon, who had gone to New York with me the day boforo to fulfil au on- Kagement there, was ignorant of any such intention. As to his ing boasted of hig exploits and willing. ness to repent them, 1 icnow that his intention was to avoid any allusion to political matters during the vor; short stay hero that his engagomente at his home ~ f mitted of bis making. The only remark that I have been ablo to ascertain af at all authentic, was in reply to one made to him by an individual, as ho was readin; the proclamation in which he was so harshly ‘denounced, via.: that “he would do #0 again if ordered.’ I remain, gentlemon, respectfully, your obedient servant AROH. @hAcus.

What Io ww be sed What Wii be Done Repors of she Herald Street Commis- stomer, Hinckley, ito second Hercules, umdertales te clean thin Augean atabio of a city. Fora long while, in con- sequence of the exaggerated accounts of projadicod tourists, Cologne has had tho reputation of bolag tho dirtiest city in the world, but New York has had the Girt, Now we are promised that all this sball be changed, and that im three months time we sha!) be delighted with the enchanting spectacle of Gothamiter, driven from their houses by tho summer’s heat, taking their voape meals out of doors, with the pavement fors table and stray cobbie atones ‘or pluttors—or something like that. At any rate, tho atreets are to be cleanod, and Hackley is to do it. His contract took effect on the 28th of Fobruary; but thero hus been so much preliminary house cleaning to do in his office and among the emplcyes that ali his arrangements baye not yet been perfectod, and ho is not yet thoroughly at work. Here and there a street has been cleaned—Beckman, Nas- Ban, part of Centre, Grocnwich and the Washington mar- ket suburbs, Fulton, Ann and @ few others—Dbut these are merely the first trials of the new broom, and, at present, Mr. Hackloy is to be judged rather by what he iotends and attempts than by what he has done. On Monday night streets were swopt—and well swept—in throe of the lower wards of the city. Yesterday Mr. Hackley had his organization compioted and men at work, in every ward but one, and last night it was arranged that work should begin in earnest. The city has about four bundred miles of streets to be cleaned—cighty miles of down town streets every night, and three hundred and twenty up town streets once a week—and even to ar- range the forces for this work is no small labor. NEW YORE A@ IT Ig. People are pretty well agreed that the city neads clean. ing. The mingled slush and mud which, only a fow weeks ago, made even Broadway impassable, and traps- formed the cicumjacent streets into quicksands, dan- gerous alike to pedestrians and vehicles, aro not yet for- gotten. Nor has tho deep, deep mud which succeeded thie infliction, and which made even the slush endurable, been brushed away from our memories. The fine weather of the past few days has dried up the mud and made the atreots resemble country roads, but the dust ia bardly leas dreadful than the mud, as was proven yester- day and on Tuesday, to the dissatisfaction of every one, so that this is, par excellence, a dirty city atill. Broad- way has been kept reasonably clean; but this has ecm the show strect of New York, and, like the show windows of a second rate store, has appeared wel) only because the concern exhausted itself upon that alone, and neglected every other part of tho establish- ment. 80 long a8 you contino your promenade to Broad- ‘way you may ge clean shod; but leave this great thoroughfare, oither to the right or left, and you are certainly mired. In this case Mrs. Partington is quite correct. Comparisons are not only odious but odorous, and it is hardly worth while to make them, Take any of the streets which run parallel with Broadway and the rtvers—such a3 Mercer, West Broadway, Groenwich, or William, Centre, Chatham and the numerical and alpha- betical avenucs—and one must have the nice diserimi- mation of an anulytical chemist to decide which ie the dirtiest or the most malcdorous. If there be any choice in the matter, we should say that the stroots become fonler as they near the water— the source of clcanliness—upon the same paradoxical inciple that makes inhabitants of marine towns excel perfona! uncieaniiness, and amphibious animals pro- verbially tiithy. Tako the transverse streets from Froot to Fourteenth, and you tind an equally impartial dietriou- tion of dirt. Above Fourteonth the balance of filth is in favor of the Fast eide, us if there wore a natural slant and drainage that way; but what with excavations, new buildings and other disadvantages, the West side has very Jittie room for boasting. This is, to be sure, a gen- oral description, and very much unlike the sober detatis of 2 Street Commissionor’s report; but at present this branch of the subject will not admit of details. It is useless to put down the namo of every street when only “very dnty” could be added in every cage. Superlatives are required al) the time, and the only dis- tinetions which could be made are those between and puddies. And what with the dust, even this difer- ence was hardly perceptible to the naked eye. Tho March anow and rain of last night, however, brought the dirt back to its original form. A METROPOLITAN PECULIARITY, It is very natural for a great city to be dirty, and all great cities are; but the natural unclewnliness of New York is increased indefinitely by a singular idiosyncracy of ite inbabitents. They have the idea that the streets are designed as sinks, slop receptacles and depositories for rubbieh of every conce:vable kind. Everything, from a drunken husband or crying child down to a broken bottle OF & pail of slope, is thrown into the street as a matter of course, and without any idea that the streets were not designed for just such pur; Ash-barrels, asb- boxes and xsh-carte are lying arowad ‘loose in some localities as feeble remonstrances against such practices, but without effect. In other localities even these hinie are wanting, and ash carts are ag scarce as chariots of fire. [t ie believed that they oxist some- where, but they have never boen seen by the oldest im- habitant—porbaps because the oldest inhabitant never sets bis ath box out till long after the cart has passes. Scattered throughout tho city there are two undred and five ash-cartmen, who are paid from twenty to twenty seven cente a load for the transportation of the ashes, according to the distance af their round? from the dumping grounds. Let all those who wish New York to be clean patronize the ash-cartmen, all of whom are to be retained by Mr. Hackley. Let thom place their rubbish in boxes or barrels, ready for removal, und then, if they have any troubio or are neglected by the ashmen, ict them report the matter to the Himatb. A HINT TO MERCHANTS. The storekeepers along Broadway and other business streots may, with a vory little trouble, groatly assist the now contractor in keeping the streots clean. Let the stores be swopt at night, and not in the morning, and evorything is gained in the appearance of the streets during tho day. At present Brosdway is very nicely cleaned at about midnight, and then, from four to ten ‘A. M., dapper clerks and offise boys do their best to refill the street with sweepings from the stores and otlices. For the presont Daly’s mechines aro to be kept upon Broadway as heretofore, ame the rest of the city will be cloaned by hand abor. Let the merchanta, who are more than any other persons interested in having Broadway clean, take care that the hours for sweeping tue eiores be changed, and thus do something to aid Mr. THE NAPOLEON OF THE PAVES. The plans of the new contractor aro not yet entirely mature. Having been twenty-nino years a contractor, Mr. Mackloy certainly has experience enough to know that ho has « difficult task before Lim, and he certainly promises to go at it in the right way. He intends to have bis entire force—about three hundred carts and the men necessary to fill and drive thom—organized and con- daoted upon military principles. Work will bo com- menced at the lower part of the city, and the worst streste will be cleaned first. ‘There will be two gangs of men eraployed—a day force for those streets occupied only by dwelling houses and remote from the bustle of business, and a night force for those etreota ko Fulton, = Nassau and Greenwich, which connot bo cleamed by day. Mr. Backley imtende to inspect both forces personally and daily. Lav- ing the whoie city once thoroughly cleansed, he antiol- pates very little trouble in keeping it clean, The dirtiest streets first, Mr. Hackley is ready to be informed which the dirtiost stroota are. A correspondont says Fim etrest, for one, and another hag a mal mot for Mott street, ‘The contractor has had clerks at work, night and day, for about a week, preparing the tickets to be given to the dirt cartmen. These tickets ropresent the amount to be paid per icad-—now yary ing from sixteen to twenty- two centé—according to tho distance of the cart beats from the dumping grounds, Ina day or two Mr. Flack- ley expects to have bis tariid of wages made out and his euiployes ngage, Dut at present all aro at work at tho ord rates. i@ tariff haa been as much a burden to Mr. Hackley oa the Morrill tari! is to poople I we (out of Peansylvania), aod in the ony t of his ora- ‘oyes he ia as much bothered as President Lincoln. mes are hard and work scarce, and the above state- mont ia literally trae ; for, just ne Lincoln has bis recom- Mendations and counter recemmondations of various Persons ior this office or that, so Hackley lx boset, from morning till night, with applioations—oral or written— for a post on A dirt cart, or a situation on a dumping ground. If the President would only adopt Hagkiey’s fyatem, end let capacity for the work, and not political or personal notoriety guide his selections, he would make ‘fA Modo! State-cleaner, and rid us of a deal of oficial @orruption. The men are engaged with the undorstand- ing that they aro to bo discharged upon tho fest indica- tion of disorder or laziness, and Mr. Hackloy assures tus that hie ideas of rigid sili discipline will po 4 carried out. ae a the gn ir. Hackley certainly resembles Napoleon in one re- tho i@ of small statuto—and ho declares that ho will carry out his without fail. It is to be that he will, and that this new broom of a contract, like many wo have tried, may not keep tho city clean for a month, only to leave it dirtior than ever for the rest of the year. WHAT BECOMES OF THE DIRT. At first Mr. Hiackley had somo diiiculty in obtaining Jegal possession of the dumping grounds, but hoe is now in full possession, These grounds are located at the foot Of Rooeovelt, Stanton, Fifth, Sixteenth and Sevonteonth, Twenty-third, Forty-neoond and Forty-seventh streote, Vast river, and at the foot of Vesey, Banik, Watte, Ganso- vort, Twentioth, Lop tg ity fourth, Mhirty- second and Thirt streets, North river, No changes will be made in grounds at The dirt ool- lected by the cartmen is carried to theao places, is thore thrown into boats and is neod in filling up New- town oreeck, on the Maat river, and the bay botween Ho- boken and Jorsey City, on the North rivor side of town, Mr. Hackiey has added oleven bonts to the former force. ‘Tho manuro from the streota is generally bought up at a good price.
