The steamship Hammonia, Captain Schwensen, from Hamburg by way of Southampton, reached this port early yesterday morning. The Hammonia left South- ampton on the 26th ultimo.

The Siidells— No European Intervention—Ball at the Amzri- can Minister s—A “Hungry Frenchman’ —Last Ball 0 the Season at the Tuilerics—The Emperor's Remarks on Our Affairs—The Prince Napoleon—Americans Pre- sented— Arrival of a Traitor, dc. , dc. Slidell has subsided with an alarming condition of quiet. Since he left the Hotel du Rhine and moved to his new apartments on the Champs Elysees we hear but lit- tle of him. When he was domiciled at the former place, there were often to be secn, on the sidewalk, opposite his windows, sometimes as many as half a dozen Englishmen and Americans, who had paused a moment on their way toward the Boulevard to catch a glimpse of the oid traitor who bad made so much noise th the world, or of the young lady who bases her claim to chivairy upon an assertion that she ‘‘slapped the face’’ of an officer of the United States Navy, who was in the performance of a personally disagreeable duty. Now, however, the family creates no excitement, and they have not yet given the promised house-warming. Slidell is busy among persons having in- fluence with the government, and has had interviews with several Senators for the purpose of endeavoring to induce them to oppose that paragraph in the project of the addross which agrees with the Emperor’s suggestion of the maintenance of astrict neutrality. As yet, how- ever, be has had no success on this score, as all which has been said upon the subject has been favorable; and im the address of the Legislative Assembly the same course is taken, and both of these will be adopted without any amendment in the paragraphs re- lating to our affairs. Last week Mr. Slidell and his family were present at a grand bali given by the Counte: Vicular attentio1 j¢ Morny. but attracted no par- The Count de Morny is the President body, and the acknowledged half bro- r, being the result of an “early indis- rt'of Queen Hortense. He is said to possess a considerable influence over his Majesty, and, of course, is a man to cultivate. Inthe present aspect of affairs there is no immediate of any Europoan intervention. England and Franco will both hold off their hands as long as there is no more suftering caused in their dominions by the war in America than there is now; tor the no- tion that either of them will go to war with America ‘for an idea,” and that idea the foundation of the Southern slaveocracy, is, I take it, en- tirely out of the question. Whatever the’ governments might be inclined to do in the premises, the great mass of the people would be outraged at such a proceeding, and a discontent might be bred hore whose effects would be even more serious than the failure of the cotton sup: ply or the continued interruption of the silk manufac- tures of Lyous. Everything now is favorable tor us here, and we have the sympathy and good wishes of the people, who rejoice with ns at the fast and thick coming good nows which we have been receiving for afew weeks past. God grant that it may come thicker and faster, and that we may soon hear that the avalanche bas fallen at last, and crushed out finally and forever the wretched rebellion and its leaders. ‘A ball was given at the American Minister’s, on Friday ‘evoning last, iv commemoration of the birthday of Wasb- ington, Friday was the 21st, and Washington's birthday comes on the 22d; but the laiter date fell this year upon Saturday. Giving a ballon Saturday would necessarily involve the ‘“‘desecration,” according to our ideas, of the Sabbath, and Mr. Dayton’ has not become so thoroughly Europeanized as to forget bis early education,or,at least, the religious scruples and prejudices of his countrymen. Betweea five and six hundred juvitations were issued, and more than four hundred persons were present in the course of the evening. The entrances to the apartments were hung with American flags,and the wall of the re- ception room adorned with a fine portrait of the Father of his Country. All the Americans residing or tempora- rily sojourning in Paris were invited, and most of them availed themseives of the invitation to mingle for an evening among their own countrymen and listen to their native language, and feasi their eyes upon the fair faces of their countrywomen—than whom none of the daugh- ters of Eve are fairer. The honors were done by Mrs. and Miss Dayton, the wife and daughter of the Minister, in a charming manner, which made their guests fee! easy and agreeable. Several of the foreign ministers dropped in im the course of the evening, buta grand bail given on the same evening by the Minister of Finance, M. Yould, prevented them from making « long stay. A ‘number of Parisians were present, among whom | was rather surprised to see Gailiardet, formerly one of the “hungry Frenchmen”’ of the Courrier aes Blais Unis, and ‘maa who has probably done us more barm in Europe yy his misrepresentations than any other writer. wing = li some years in New York, is taken by many as authority upon American affairs, about which he js really grossly ignorant, and al- though at first his articles published in 1! were rather favorabie ‘> us, some influence (perhaps the same potent one which was exercised upon the /atrie and ) was brought to bear upon him, w induced him to materially alter his tone when he left the Pres, ‘and furnished articles, some of which wore bitterly abu B:ve, to the Constitutionnel.

Empress looked magniticently, finor than | ever saw her look before, aud was sed in pure white, with biue trimmings, and was literally covered with diamonds. The Emperor, in the course o1 the even- ing, had quite a long conversation with Mr. Payiom upon American affairs, aration a penn elon of the general topography country in which the cai paign is being conducted. The ‘condition of the roads,”’ which seems now to be the creat drawback to any gene. ral forward movement, he inquired about, and ‘seemed successful trans. sarily carry fully reads all the news from the United States.

Earl Russell Finds the Blockade Effec- tive, ‘The papers relative to the blockade of the Southern ports had been submitted to the Britieh Parliament. Earl Russell. ina letter to Lord Lyons, dated February 15, says that the fact of ships having successfully run the blockade de: not prevent the Wlockade from being Pective; and he ovques thar a newtral State ought ty exercise great caution wth regard to a de facto blockade, fand ought not to disregard \t unless the power of the Dlockade should be abused.

A young French , named Le- Prieult, was about to cross the bridge of Saint Francis, im that town, when he was by the cravat by Wade, who demanded of whieb the other something, could only understand the words‘ My knive!” but which wag no doubt a demand for money. An oystorman see ing the knife in Wade's hand, and the use ho was about to make of it, seized him by the wrist and ia securing him: When before the Court, Wade, with a coolness and composure worthy of a better cause, admit- ted that he had accosted Leprieult, but that it was to ask for a quid of tobacco; that Loprieult offered to give him one, if he would lend hima knife to cut it with, which he was about to do when his arm was seized, and himself led off to prison. The confidence which Wade appeared to have in this ingenious defenee was, however, entirely destroyed by his hearing bi condemned to five years’ imprisonment and five years’ surveillance of the police. THE DEBATE IN THE FRENCH SENATE: France the Friend of the United States— The Emperor's Policy Must be ue Po- Mey of France, During the recent debate in the French Senate on the subject of the reply to the speech from the throne, the President said M. De Boisay desired to speak on the ques- tioa of commercial relations with America. ‘The Marquis Ds Bormsy—Our deliberations have now become calm, and I am not the person to disturb it. (Laughter.) 1 intend to address you on our neutrality as regards America, but wish first to say afew words on the publicity of our sittings, which can hardly be longer withheld. What I want is— Loe aneeeteny are now far from America, (A ugh. : The Marquis Ds Bowsy—Yes, but I shall soon get there, Besides, I must observe that the address is a wide field— ‘The Presipext—But you have limited yourself to Ameri- can affairs. The Marquis De Bomsr—I am 5; on Par. 2. I gave way to M. de la Rochejaquelein, whom I shail ever bo ready to oblige; but I by no means intend to relin- quish my right to speak on Par. 2. I would, however, ask that the doors of the Luxembourg should be open to the two great bodies of the State, or at least to the mem- bors of the legislative body. General the Marquis De Lawoxstins—Question | Ques-” tion | ‘The Marquis Dx Borssy—I am in the most engrossing question of the moment. It is evident that, were our sit- tings public, they would be less stormy than the day before yesterday. Under the pubiic eye people are more guarded. (Noise.) ‘The Preaipxnt—But that is not the question. If you want the standing orders altered, make motion t that effect. (Approbation.) i ‘rhe Marquis Dx Boissy.—There is nothing but interrup- tions. The Presipent.—My duty is to call you back tothe question. You were to speak on America. ‘The Marquis Dr Borssy.—Iam not bound to say before- band on what I shall speak. ‘The Presipent.—You are not during the general dis- cussion, but'that is closed. The Marquis Dr Borsay.—Two great wars are alluded to in the address—first, that in the Crimea, which we all approved of. It cost us, it is true, 1,300,000,000 and more; but that is not much, for that war was attended with the immense result of unveiling to Europe the relative weakness of England—her weakness when alone—and that is why I wish that we should give way less to her. ‘The other war is that in Italy, where our army covered itself with glory, but from which I thought we should have derived more profitable political consequences. But, gentlemen, what I wish to say on the occasion of these two great wars is, that the money which they cost might have been spent differently. With such a sum we might have reached Loudon. (Oh, oh’? and laughter on all the benches.) ‘The Prespext—The Moniteur will state that your re- marks were received by the unanimous laughter of the assembly. The Marquis Dx Bossr—So much the better; I shall be proud of it, Whathave we found in going to Italy? A dangerous nation, which is our ally only inname, By going to England we might have retied on the frieudshipof a nation whose alliance will always be a precious advantage for us. Let us respect, as faithful subjects, the will of ‘the sovereign; but that does not prevent us from speak- ing our opinions. As to what regards tho extreme Kast, I think that our expeditions have procured glory and cer- tain advantuges for ug; but im China, for instance, what we have done is more for the interest of Eugiand. ‘The Purispent—The remarks you are now making have nothing whatever io do with the paragraph relative to the internal affuirs of the country. The Marquis De Borsy—In order to get to Americal can very well take the way of China, (General laugh- ter. tee Preetpent—By doing so you confound all the para- graphs of the address. ‘The Marquis De Bowsy—That is not my fault, it is that of the wording of the address, which, instead of be- mg divided into short paragraphs, contains some of out- rageous length. Our expeditions in the extreme East were doubtiess undertaken for the purpose of repressing barbarism, but by what name will you designate the means employed by the English police, which I shall now make known to your. [The Hon. Marquis here read a list of Lhe punishments inflicted in India, which caused general exclamations mixed with laughter’ in the Assem- biy. ie Presipgnt—But it is impossible to continue the discussion in this manner. ‘The Marquis Dx Bowsy—Yes, gentlemen, these are the acts of barbarisin committed, but by tho Knglish, and I have found them {n an otficial document, laid before the English Parliament. Those are the means used by ihe English towarcs their Indian subjects, and yet we do not make war to put anendto them. As regards the war in China, I see no sufficient reason for th Tt was not the French, but the Euglixh who insulted, and they ought to have beeu leit under the diow of their humiliation. General the Marquis De Lawogstixg.—Your remarks ¢ not very polit ‘The Marquis De Kowsy.—I say what I think, and the Emperor, who will hear our words, will judge of them. Certain people think they prove their cevotedness by the quantity of incense they bura, but] measure miue by the courage of saying things which may even give displeasure. incense is to priuces what the opium is to the Chinese; opium brutalizes the Chinese, and incerse stupifies princes and makes them {ali into exile. (Laughter.) Returning to the wording o. the address, the speaker regretted that the document had not been oticially communicated to the bureaus before iit was read in public. But do you suppose, said he, that you get this draught in @ virgin state’ No; betore it was submitted te you it had been communicated to oibers; it had been examined, discussed,and often mouified. Why should not that which is done for others, and even for the journals, be done for us? (Murmurs). The PResiwrxt—What you say is inexact, M. De Boissy? The Marquis Dx Bowsy—The draftof the address was in a journa: before it was read here, (Noise.) The form in which the draft was prepared might have been modi- fied so as to leave free scope to all opinions; and it is to be regretied uhat the labors of the committee should ap- pear to be summed up in the saying only of what it was permitted to say. i have seon with satisfaction an honorable colleague of advanced opinions from whom I differ profoundly, i mean M. Pietri, quitting the regreta. ble track followed last year by those who insulted van- quished princes who had twice done their duty. I weil understand a hatred of the treaties of 1815; but what I do pot understend is how people can affect vo detest the treaties and to love those who imposed them on us. General the Marquis Ds Lawomtixe—They were im- posed on us by all Europe. ‘The Pues:pniet—Do not interrupt, M. de Lawesstine, or I shall be forced to apply the regulations. ‘The Marquis De Bowssy—No, it was not Europe that im- posed them on us; if was the English; they were the mus- ters, aud they wished to dispose of France without con- sulting France; they would not allow French plenipoten- tiaries to be admitied to the conferences, nor that the despoiled should know the pame of the spoiler. You love the English; well, then, Waterloo; a name thot 1 pronounce to revive all old animosties; at this Waterloo there were newe of the petly Italian princes whom you insulted last wear; it was the English, and you have never .aid a word cgainst them. Do you fear tivm? (Ob, oh.) For my port I donot. (1 hter.) General Mar \uis Du Lawons: int—Nor we either. ‘Th ‘quis De Bowsy—ii you do not give the English time to form a new coalition, you will easily conquer them, For this you hare only to maintain neutrality with America. You will then see Fngland offering to the world the spec- tac’e of a peopla enduring everything fur the sa'e of money, and haughty only with the weak. You know how humble the has always been with ‘he United States. If she now wishes (o involve you in the American struggle it is to weeken @ Power of which she is afraid. | Lope never w see Frence volved im a war with the United States, for the humill- ation of that Power would give England the snpremacy of the seas. ‘now ask myself whether I ought to enter on the Italian question. (No, no.) “I will pot then do so, but only regret that the amendment on the evacuation of Rome, that has been so much talked of, should not have been produced in this discussion. The Presiikxt—No amendment bas been produced; tl Moniteur said that the atsendment you speak of was not presented ‘The Marquis Dx Powsy—t beon lost by the way. M. Bitaviz, Miuister without portfolio—The govern. mont is anxious to clearly make known its sentiments on another point, mooted by the Marquis de Boissy When on the other side of the Channel a member of the English Chambers, pot sharing in the ieelings of his neighbors and of his colleacnes, makes by chance a vio Jent motion agaiust our country, Frewch feelings suffer from it, and it js not without emotion that the echo of such a discussion is heard on this side of the Strait. The reason is, that the two | sin nations are proud and sus. coptible on what touches their honor. Expressions of hatred exchanged from one tribune to the other, are most objectionable. As to America, France will nerer forget the bonds of kindnes which unite her to the United States.

Aregular meeting of the Board of Supervisors was held yesterday afternoon, Elijah F. Purdy, Presi¢ent, in the chair. ‘The minutes of the last meeting were read and ap, proved. The Committee om Annual Taxes presented a report, stating that they have not the power to remit the annu- altaxes assessed ona number of persons who had pre- sented petitions for that purpose. The report wag adopted. The report of the Committee on County Officers, re- commending the Board to audit and allow the bills of the Sheriff, for services rendered during the last quarter of 1861, amounting to $9,446 93, was taken up. Supervisor Ey moved as an amendment to the report, that the charge known as the Shoriff’s ‘‘ term fees’ be struck out of the report, Supervisor Waissman offered a resolution that the Board should in future refuse to audit and allow the bills of the Sheriff known as term fees. He said that if some steps were not taken to relieve the county of these vbuoxious charges, they would soon become much jarger. Supervisor Purpy said the proper course to pursue would be to petition the Legislature to abolish the law compeliing the Bvard to pay these bills. He thought if this was not done the bills would soon amount to $100,000. Supervisor Davis spoke at some length, to show that the Board of Supervisors are called upon to audit and allow all bills charged against the county, including, of course, the bills of the Sheriff. Supervisor Purpy moved that the whole matter be laid on the table, which was carried. ‘The Committee on Civil Courts presented a resolution, that the secoud story of the building in Chambers street, ocenpied by Schenck & Downing, bo hired for the use of the Supreme Court. After some discussion the matter was referred back to the committee, with instruction to inquire whether the room could not be hired for less than five thousand dollars. ‘The Commiitee on Annual Taxes presented a report in favor of reducing the amount of annual taxes assessed on Charles M.

DESCENT UPON A FASHIONABLE GAMBLING Hovst.—Police- men Roe, Davis, Kiernan and others, of the Fifteenth pre- cinct police, made a descent upon the retired but stylish gambling saloon, No. 3 Ninth street ,on Monday night, and arrested all the cccupante. The officers had previously visited the premises in citizen's clothes, but the recon- noissance was unsatisfactory, and they determined to postpone the blow until some more opportune moment: Accordingly, on Monday night, it was agreed that they should gain access to the house, and if the evidence was conclusive against the gamblers, the latter were to be teen into custody. Two of the oecepants, named wavid Sawyer and W. D. Messenger, wore caught in suspicious proximity to a taro table and a lot of checks, but the remainder of the id managed to their guilt, much to the chagrin of the officers. The gambling implements, consisting of afaro table, several packs of cards, a dealing and cue box, were taken pos- session of by the police and conveyed to the station house, Yesterday the prisoners were brought before Justice Kelly, at the Jefferson Market Police Court, where they were held to bail each in (be sum of $500 to answer.

West, acting as chairman of the meeting—for the purpose of taking into consideration and protesting against the proposed taxation on metallic hoops by Con- gress, the same being, in their opinion, too high. ‘The largest and most influential houses in the city were represented upon the occasion, among whom were Thomp- son, Langdon & Co. , Dunbar & Barnes, L. A. Osborne and several others. ‘The Chairman s' ted the object of the meeting, after which @ committee, consisting of Messrs. L. A. Osborn and 8. 8.

The points argued in the remonstrance worthy of ation ton. New Minstary Booxe.—We have received from D. Van Nostrand—to whom the military men of the Union are in- debted for numerous and useful military books published since the beginning of the rebellion—throe new and inte- resting books, One is entitied * Maxims, Advice ana In- structions in the Art of War,” @ practical military guide for the use of all arms and of all countries, translated from the French, by Capt Zoudy, Director of the Practical Military College, and jate of the French staf. ‘The work is gotten up in a finished atyle of typography, and the maxims illustrated by numerous diagrams.

We have also received the revised official * Army Regis. tor’’ for 1862, containing all information relative to the rogular and yolunteor army, showing the relative rank of each officer in the several branches of the service, the time of entering therein, and other valuablo data, THE WOUNDED HEROES. Arrival of Wounded Unien Volunteers from Roanoke Island—Their Transportation Through New York—Appearanee of the Men—Lk&t of Their Names, hey Bee bee Nearly one hundred and thirty sick and wounded Union soldiers, of different regimonts, yesterday morn- ing arrived at Jersey City direct from Roanoke Island. They mostly belong to Massachusetts and Connecticut regiments, and all bear the impress of having moet with Beovere time during their struggles in defence of the Union. ‘The soldiers left Roanoke {sland on Thursday last on board of the steamer Ellen 8. Terry, and, passing through Philadelphia, arrived in Jersey City at an early hour yesterday morning. Colonels Howe and Almy, agentsfor ‘the States of Massachusetts aud Coanecticut respect- ively, were on hand at the depot om the arrival of the soldiers, and did all in their power to make them comfortable during their stay among us. Re- hments were provided and their wounds properly at- tended to. It wasa sad sight to see so fine a body of men made victims to the horrors of fraternal strife, and those who yesterday gazed upon them could not but fee! a deep aympathy for their condition as well as a high ro. gard. for the patriotism which impelled them to risk their lives in defence of the rights of therepublic. Several were unable to walk and lay stretched upon pallets in wagons, while others moved painfully on crutches. The generality of them looked careworn and emaciated, but they seemed tofbe ready and willing to again confront the enemies of their country, should thetr health be restored to its pristine strength. In conversing» they speak quite disparagingly of the fighting abilities of the rebels, and express the belief that they are in no way up to the mark as even middling sol- diers. They agroe, however, in the fact that the rebels fought desperately at Roanoke, but they broke like’ sheep before the headstrong charge of Union bayonets. ‘The soldiers describe the sanitary condition of the Union army to be of the most favorable character, and patriotic enthusiasm and energy mark every movement made, In speaking of General Burnside, they allude to him asa man of the highest military talents, combined with hu- manity and principle. He is looked upon by all under his command with the deepest reverence. Dr. Sayre, of this city, on the arrival of the wounded soldiers yesterday, voluntarily came forward and ten- H.

His kindness and attention are worthy of mention, especially as he was almost, if not quite unknown, until this event, to both the wounded and the agents for the States to which they belonged. ‘The men wore transferred from Jersey City to the Park barracks, and in the evening went home by the necessary routes.

At a time whon Congress contemplates laying anex- cise on the various products of the country, it may not be uninteresting for many of your readers to know what would be the amount to be collected on the single item of tobacco, and the manufactured article thereof. Few people are aware that tobacco, as an article of exporta- tion, ranges only second to cotton. As there has been a meoting convened of the whole trade for to-morrow, very moderate estimates may not be devoid of interest. J. 8. GANS, tobacco broker, 86 Wall street. 80,000 hhds.
