Genoral M'Powell, who was in attendance on Prince Napoleon last Thursday, was stopped by one of his own entries because his pass was not en regle. General Beauregard evinces the utmost sensitiveness in respect to any approach to his lines. Prince Napoleon was, hnwover', received with feelings stronger than respect vy the Confede- vates. On Thursday morning early the Prince started with M. Mercier, the French Minister, and his svite, from Wash ington, and proceeded to Alevandria, attended by General McDowell, who provided him with an escort of United States cavalry. On arriving at the outposts the General returned, and the Prince's party went on till they met the Confederate pickets, by whom, after a brief de y were permitted to pass on towards Fairfax. I know but {stile of what happened, except that the Prince saw Gene- ral Beauregard and General Johneton, and slept at ¢le quar- tors of the latter; that he esamined the battle field as far as the horrible odor would permit; ead that he’ returned late on Friday evening, pretty #42 satisfied that there was not much to choose betweer. the toe armies, but that tie foderatists were on the whole the better of the two, and that he would take them for choice HONAPARTE NOT FAVORARLY IMPRESSED HY THE REMEL COMMAN- DER—THR FRENCH PRINCE LIKELY TO PROPOSE AN ARTTRA- TION—THE ‘SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT’?

Mr. Seward not only exhibited an inclination to tet the Prince go if he liked —he seemed to think it would not be possible to find any sound reasons to object to the expedition. Now, itstrikes an outsider that if the United States government was angry with Great Britain for placing the Confederate § army on the footing of belligerents, and if it has always maiutained that the troops of the Con’ federate States army, so catled, are rebels, the visit of the heir to the throne of France, minus one in the pre- sent imperial snecession, attended by a United States General and escort to the camp of the rebels and to th generals’ in command of them, with the sanction of tt United States government, and the retarn of the party to the United States lines, is one of the most extraordinary cases that has ever been permitted to occur by any government inthe world.

MURPHY EXPELLED AND ORDER RESTORED Probable Coalition of the People’s and Republican Conventions, &e., &e., &e. OUR SPECIAL SYRACUSE DESPATCH. Synacure, Sept. 10, 1861 Tho appearances at the hotels this morning indicated a large attendance at the People’s Convention to-day. The continual hum and ciaiter in all Jocalities bore conclusive evidence that the delegations had gathered here to work, and that all were here to lay down their party erceds and unite on one common platform to strengthen the hands of the administration in patting down the rebellion, A few party politicians and wire pullers of both the democratic and republican parties are on hand, endexyoring to divide the gentiment of the Convention, and render its counsels iuharmonious, They even predicted trouble in the Con- vention and want of unanimity in action; but such little realized the depth of feelin, the momentous question of the day that existed in the breasts of « majority of those here, ‘There is, however, one serious drawback to the good results of this Convention. The morning trains have brought a number of the party hs equired in their past carcer around the legislative balls no enyia- ble reputation, Although not clected delegates, they are to worm themselves in as such, and should ed, this people's gathering, with such promis as the late ations With its rotten secession plank. prominent democrats are here who at the atic Convention, every iales the platforin of their party, and they suce ing results before them.will end as inglor' Democratic Cony: A large number wore in attend one of whom repu declare that it has rtnished the party, which will be buried in November, Not willing to be’ mourners, they have come here, knocking for admittance into a new party. ‘The Convention was called to order at eleven A. M. by Mr. Beebe, of ‘Tioga, one of the signers” of the call for th d, one of the ion in the last Presidential tempo- 'y chairman, wi le a strong speech, and was reeted with rounds of applause. His speech was a Straightforward, oatspeken one on the war, There wi ho mincing matters, and the response from the Conyen ton showed plaiuly that he spoke the sentiments of the Convention, Nosooner had the Convention been temporarily organ- ized than the cloyen foot of the repubheans stu inan effort to make ike Convention a tool to carry out their schemes, ona motion to take a recess until four o'clock in the afternoon, which was for the purpose of postponing action as jong as possil lo, or until the repub- lican wire pullers found their way here. We came very near having a Tegular knock down and dray ont fight, equal to the rough and tumble fights in the famsoug Stryker Democratic Convention at this place. The » Convention, and Thomas G. Al in eaite the Breckinridge ampaign, was republicans were anxious to take @ recess ag long as pos- sible, Several of their party advocated it, when W. D. Murphy, of Albeny, rese to den itas a dod poli ican immediately raised the e1 he wa slonist; another, that he had receutly made a pace spooch, AU this the republican bloodbounds bolched forth, grating and gnashing their teeth, perform- ing demoniac caricatures, many of them rashing up to Murphy and clinching their ists; but not one of the braggart, blustering band dared to touch him, For a time I conchided that instead of being in a People’s Con- vention I was amongst the Dead Rabbits of New York, or wbs and Pug Uglies of Baltimore. The perform- sf ti keeping with the reputations of those Jobs, and, strange to say, the republican politi- were the tragedian performers upon the occasion. ‘The names of many of those fre speech hy pocrits should be enrolled iu the Dead Rabbit Club. At the next inceting Mr. Murphy may be a seccssion- jst, but he was here last week at the Democratic Conyen- tion, and, in tailing, was the strongest of any here. As tho charge was made in convention against him, all rules ef common sense and reason would have given him a chance to be heard; but that did not accord with the views of the repubtican politicians, and he was only kept from sical anniliilation by others rushing to bis assistance, ie Chair (nally announced that he would not preside over such a band of braggarts, and if he saw another ation the kind he would leave the hall. y partially restored, the Convention’ de- rlarcd by a vote that it would not hear Mr, Murphy, and then took 9 recess until four P, M. ‘The republican politicians have carried everything their own way this morning, and it now looks very’ much ast they would run the machine. ‘The excitement over the fracas this morning was in- tense during the rec ‘The republicans now show their hands, and delare openly that it is their intention to con- trol the Convention. ‘The move this morning was made to get rid of # person whom they were afraid would stand in their way. Among the charges made against Mr. Murphy was, that he receully spoke to peace meeting. learn from those who were present at that secting that it was a Union gathering, to raise the Stars aud Stripes, the flag haying thirty-four stars upon it. ‘The charge was made in the Convention by Me. Townsend, of Troy, connected with the recent slave reseue at Troy, who righuly belongs in a Convention with Susan B. Anibeny, Wendell Phillips and Garrison, instead of a Union Convention, as. this purports tobe. Tho representatives of the late Bell and Everett, party hove held a caucus this morning, and resolved to press & noménation to-day; but the developements this morning indicate that they will hay power to carry it out. The Bell and Everett men from New York city held ano- ther o! s during the recess, and decided to press the nomination of three men, and after that to take any satis. factory man presented. ‘Those names are Daniel 8.

This was considered a test of the republican strength in the convention, and a direct vote would decide the strength of the Brooks party. Aftor some random debate, and no little personal exci ment, the resolution was laid on the table. It was aftor- c& brought up in another shape, and the Committee on Contested Seats instructed to report in favor of ali the Albany delogates except Mr. Murphy, and thus the mat- ter was settled, but not until after considerable contro- yersy.

FinpLay M. Kia moved to lay the amendment on the table. Mr. Towxsenn desired to speak on the question, but was ruled out of order, und the subject was laid on the table. ‘The rules of the last Assembly were adopted to govern the Convention, James Q. THomPson, of Monroe, moved the list of dele- gates be cajled and delegates present themselves for a seat, C. M.

A motion being made to take from the table the resolu- tion to appoint a committee on permanent organization, Ciarx B. Cocurany reminded the Convention that the im: portance of the objects of thd Convention was such as to warrant prudence and some delay. ‘The object was not to destroy old parties, not to build up new ones, but to put in nomination a ticket that shall unite loyal citizens from Lake Erie to Montauk Point—a ticket that shall roil up a majority of 200.000, and sink the democratic party into ut- ter oblivion. At this vory moment, probably, the gunsot the enemy are thundering at the doot of the national capitol, and it was no time to act with haste and rush a ticket into the field before four o'clock. For himself, he spat upon party platforms. He was sick of party conven- tions. The great heart of the people was aroused, and he was ready to respond to that. (Immense applause.) Mr. D. Morvuy, of Albany, said that it was for the very purpose of defeating the plans of politicians that some members desired to proceed with the proceedings, and not take a recess for four hours, TowNsEND Ressseeear said the gentleman now address- ing the Convention (Mr. D. Murphy, of Albauy) was a se- cessionist at heart, and had no business here, He had within two weeks addressed a meeting in his county for the purpose of raising a peace flag. Immetintely a dozen delegates sprang to their fect and confirmed the statement, A scene of much excitement and confusion ensued, the Convention rising and crowding around the spot where Mr. Murphy stood, amid cries of “Turn him out,” and some cries of Hear him.” ‘WiiuaiG. Ween, of Albany, declared that he should not be heard as a delegate from Albany, and Samvrt J. Houtzy, of Oswego, approached to the spot where the objectionable delegate stood, and politely informed him thet if he attempted to disturb the meeting or utter traitorous doctrine he should receive instant and severe punishment at his hands, ‘The scene was one of great excitement, but the feelings of the Convention were go strong that it became evident that no “peace party man” could be heard. The Chair ‘m the meantime rapped the Convention to order, and at length peace was restored. ‘The CHam then announced that if such a scene should again occur he would resign his seat in the Convention, notwithstanding its importance and character. Every man here must be heard who has any claim toa seat, and if his intentions are unpatriotic he must be left to his conscience and his God. | (Loud applause.) 2s A DeuxGate moved that Mr. Murphy be heard. He had no fear that any sentiments he could utter would influ- ence the mind of any delegate on this floor. Cries of “No,” “No,” “He shall not be heard,’ «He has no right here,” &e. ‘The Cuaim—The Chair will protect the rights of every deiegate on this floor: but if a motion is made, expressing it as the sense of the Convention that the gentleman from Albany (Mr. Murphy) be uot heard, he should re- gard it as in ordei A dozen delegates instantly made the motion, and it was carried by an almost unanimous vote. ‘The Cuan then decided that the gentleman could not be heard, and Mr. Murphy took his seat amid loud ap- plans.

Wygant and W. D. phy, elected as delegates by the Constitutional Union Convention of Albany county, he rejected and denied seats on the floor of this Convention. The report was unanimorsly adopted. Mr. Wits.arp, of Rensselaer, moved that the delegates above named be guaranteed a safe passage out of the Con- tion. (Laugliter aud applause.) The Cuam hoped they would not be molested. B fore patting the motion for_a recess, the Citam read a letter from Leslie Combs, of Kentucky, as follows.— Fraxxrort, Ky., September 4, 1861. rn vRs:— aman iments of the 80th, and enclosure, are_ received.

James Brooks, of New York, moved to refer back the partial report of the Committee on Credentials, s0 far as fy relates to Albany county, and spoke warmly in support of the motion. When the New York delegates presented their credentials, the Chairman of the Committee on Cre- dentials endeavored to reject the set in which he a Brooks) was elected, and gave as his reason that he (Mr. Brews) was unfaithful to the Union and the constitution, ‘The Chairman of that committee (Edgar McMullen, of Brooklyn) dared to brand hin as a disunionist, whew, if the report js correct, McMullen beljeves that a part of the constitution that holds the Union together is a com. pact with bell and a league with the devil.
