Grévy, President of the National Assembly:— MONSIEUR LE PRESIDENT—I have not the honor of your personal acquaintance, nor have [ ever, even indirectly, been in communication with you. But you preside over the deliberations of the representa- tives of France. You have an arduous task, and you are acquitting yourself honorably and with digpity. You are maintaining in the National Assembly, to the advantage of all members, what- ever may be their opinions, that freedom of speech and obedience to law wiici France hopes w see prevail throughout the land. 1 have great confl- dence in your patriotism; and to you, as the first citizen of free France, of a nation called upon to direct and control its own destiny in accordance With its own rights and legitimate interests—to you, therefore, 1 veature to express my an xicties as weil as my hopes for my couatry. ‘We are just struggling out of an abyss. At one time we were without a government, and without anarmy. Now, by the help of a@ elected national Assembly and an army as national as the Assembly, France has re-entered Paris, from which it haa been forcibly separated for two mouths. Thanks be to God and to nce! God kas not ceased to watch over Fran in God. At the same time that misgai Paris were closing the churchesin which for 60 many centuries millions of human _ beings had met together topray to God, the National Assembly ordaimed that pi offered up to God for the safety of France. A great darkness sometimes falls a) men's mods, but it is only parttal and superficial ; essentially, and on the whole, the human race remains uachanged; and belief in the presence of God and His influence over our nature and destiny is never lost. The people of Paris will again fill their churches, and once again we shall be ave to say that France has been saved by the grace of God and the will of the nation. Who was the first to try and rescue France from 50 Cane @ position? Who began the work of ae- verance In the tirst place, the Government of National De- fence and Paris; in the next, the National Assembly and M, Thiers. The former saved the hovor of France by thelr prolonged resistance; the latter had the courage to make peace when it had become absolutely ne , and Lo st le against anar- chy. Is there any one who does not feei that peace 18 bitter and has been bought at acruel price? But after all it is peace—that is, @ return to quiet and «productive labor. Although Yaris submitted to the deceptions and =. Dressions of a frenzied faction she 1s stlil Paris—that glorious ana valiant Paris which forfive Tonths endured a si without parallel in the annals of history. We often make the mistake of Not recognizing that there are two sides to events ana persons. We ignore the good and look only at the evil side, Thisis both short-sighted and unjust, We ought to be able to take the good into account as well as the evil, and to bear the weight of faulus while we gather tne fruit of faithful ser- vice, A critical spirit ts fatal to sound policy. It ts an excellent thing to offer inttelligent resistance to the errors and misconduct of rulers, but the mania of mere opposition has destroyed more governments than it has relormea, Weare only taking our first steps baa Ee road which leads to national security and well being. In order that we may reach the goal we must support those who were our first leaders; we shall insure our own progress by urging them on, and not py driving them back. What have been the respective parts taken by the Government of Natioha: Detence and Paris, and the National Assembly and M. Thiers in rescuing us from the abyss and beginning the work of deliverance Y The Government of National Defence called itself by that patriotic name and no other, It did not attempt to grappie with tne political difficalty and select a form of government which should succeed the fallen empire, it took upon tisell the defence of the country agaist a foreign enemy, and nothing more. In all essenaal points Parts during the siege did precisely the same thing. It 1s true that the more impatient irieads of the republic proctaimed it from the very iirst, and then name and party gave valu- able help in che defence of Paris, but most assuredly the republic was not the spontaneous desire of Paris, nor was the general tendency of Frauce in favor of it. Ido not wish to oppose or wound any ganulne sentiment, but 1t is also a duty to look for the true meaning of facts and to call them by ther right name. ‘ihe proclamation of the republic ta Parts on the 4th of September, 1870, was a repubil- can coup d'état, an act which anticipated the rights of the national sovereignty. Even the most ardent republicans felt that this was the case, and hastened to assert that a republic is a government by right—by right absolute, the only legitimate government—and that 1t is superior alike to universal suffrage and the national will; but it was certainly vot because they accepted this theory, and wished to uphold the republican coup d’¢rat, that the whole population of Paris—egitimusts, Orleanists, Bonapartsts and men of no party— braved all the dangers and privations of a siege. They unived against @ common enemy to preserve their national honor and national rights, and tne National Assembly was convoked in the name of the sovereign people and to make known their will. When the Assembly met it proclaimed itself on the 1ith of Febraary, 1871, a8 “the, depositary of sov- ereign authority,” and stated that, as ‘pending the deliberations With regard to the futare constitution of the country”’ it was important ‘to provide, with- out delay, for the necessities of the government and the means of conducting negot‘ations.’’ M. Thiers was named “Chief. of the Executive Power of the Frenen Republic.’? No doubt these words were inserted to express @ tact which was actual and undoubted, but provisional. M. Thiers took care they should not be misunder- stood, for on entering office and choosing his Min- isters he said:—‘*I have taken them, pot from one of the parties into which we are divided, but from all parties, just as our country has done in giving its votes, and often placing on the same list men or the mrost opposite, and sometimes, as it would seem, antagonistic views, but united Kg Patriotism, intelligence and the common bond of good inten- tons, ‘The only posstole, the only conceivable, policy atthe present time is to pacify, to reorgan- ize, to restore credit and to encourage labor. Every sensible, honest, enligntened man, what- ever may be his opinion as to @ monarchy or a repubiic, may labor usefully and honorably to pro- mote these elds; and even if he only labors a year— six months—he may return to bis country with heaa erect andl conscience at ease. No doubt when we have rendered our country the pressing services which | have just enumerated, when we have raised from the ground that noble and wounded form which we call France, it will, when health and energy are restored, tell us how tt wishes to live; the decision will be pronounced, not by a minority, but by the majority of its cit s—that is, by an ex- pression of the will of the whole natton. The nation which elected the Assembly, the As- sembly chosen by the nation, and the Head of the Execntive Power nominated by the Assembly, spoke bold when France was 10 danger and had to be saved. The republicans attached great importance to the mseriion of the name of the French republic in this programme. Iam not surprised at this, nor do 1 complain of it. Ina free country we must never require opinion to be silenced and party to be dis- avowed. The republicans have a right to speak and act in accordance with their views, and it is tu the imterest of the country that they shall do so openty. When they were Aghung against a foreign enemy for the honor of France it was quite legitt- mate for them to hope that they were also fightuog for the fortune of the republic, and to try and dis- cover beforehand in their own patriotic ardor some symptoms that were favorable to thelr cause, In such circumstances that which is most important, that which 18 & country’s right as well as its interest, is that there shall be no lies and no trickery on the part of the vartous political parties concerned, and neither deiusion nor weakness on the part of tne uation. In sending representatives of all parties to the National Assembly without taking their political @igerences inio account France showed that she reckoned npon the concurrence of all in raising her from her talien state and healing the most grievous of her wounds. The National Assembly and M, Thiers «lid their duty, and showed that they under- stood the real state of the case and the true interests of their country when ge! reminded the members of their true issue, and that France in confiding it to them had Intended to remain free to regulate ber own tastitutions and her future destiny. The question is therefore in'act; it was expressly reserved. France and her representatives have fuil right to examme different forms of government and to select from them. But has the time yet come when this question can be definitely brought for ward, when it be discussed and decided with po yh freedom, a fair chance and some knowledge the . 1 understand the mpatience of those who want the to be settied. ft 18 natural and legiti- itis yor necessary that France should ar- rive at some definite conclusion, and see clearly what is before her; for it ts @ matier which concerns her sofety, dignity, y and alt her inter- ests, moral and . Bot it must not be forgotten that certam preliminary questions have been forced upon the National assembly by exist! eveuts and urgent needs, which must be got out ot the Way in order that the consideration of the fun- damental points nay be earnest and conclusive. Tne National Assembly 1s incomplete. [n con se- quence of the return of the same member by several constiuencies, of elections annulled, of | resigna- ons deaths, there ure now 140 vacant seats. One department—Vaucluse—ia not repre- sented at all. is ts 8 gap. If it still exists the future form it is discussed by the Assembly any decision to which it may come will be open to objection, and the defeated NEW YORK HEKALD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 5. 187L to attack it on this They do not wait for such good und for complat it gy it to noise parties not fail ground, nt to make a great But not only is it the duty of the faten apport tate ts Samra r soul an the real thoughts and wishes of France on the very eve of the day when she will be called upon to pro- nounce them. Whatever be the result of these new elec- fions, they will exercise a marked influence upon the character and decrees of the National Assemb)y; they will strengthea or enfeeble such and such a pollucat arty, such and such a tendency. We mus¢ hope that the whole of electoral France wili leet the importance of these elections, and will be eager to take in them, Men who noid et. tons that are definite, and who have made up their matnds beforehand, will enter warmly imto them. it 4s men holding moderate opinions who hesitate, and, either from timidity or indolence or conscientious scruples, will even abstain from-voting. Their own supineness has nearly always been the cause of the Geleat of this party, and in the present grave and critical position of affairs, to abstain from voting would be to do wrong and to ran a tremendous risk, When a tire breaks out people do not run away from it; on the contrary, they run towards it and make ali the haste they can, and this not only out of curiosity and that they may wateh it, and with zealous foresight that they may be abie to help the firemen whose duty it 1s to extinguish it. Now a conflagration 13 infinite more dangerous and liable to spread in the State than in the streets, and the moderate party are far more inte! in ex- Singuishing it than any one else, because if 1bcon- ‘inues to spread they will suffer more than any one olse. ‘The Assembly has already taken such measures as. are necessary to enable the electors to fulul their duties wnen the new elections are held, without too per ‘an-eftortor too much sacrifice.

If it 1s. a mon- arehy it will now be upheld by all its natura! repre- sentatives and all its partisans Will rally round it, i firmly believe tnat 1¢ is the duty of the National Assembly now sit.ing to deliberate, and, with the consent of France, to decide, on the question of the future government of the country. But, tu any case, there can be no doubt that it is for the Assembly to settle the preliminary points to which I have alluded, because such a settlement is indispensabie if France is to obtain the permanent government of which she stands in such need—either a republic which shall not be revolutionary or @ true constitutional monarchy. To make peace with foreign enemies, to establish peace within the land by repressing the disorders and crimes which render the establishment of a re- public or @ monarchy equally impossible, and by these means to enable France to deliberate freely and Ling § ‘as to the future constitution of the country and 1s future des*iny—this is the great work, the Work of salvation, which the National Assembly and M. Thiers have undertaken. ‘They have already ac- complished two of their designs. Peace is concluded; anarchy, which devastated aris, 1s suppressed. Both results have been attained with dificuity and at great cost. It 1s py the union, the combined ac- tion of the National Assembly and M. Thiers that both have been obtained. There stilt remains the last design, the most difficult of the three—nameiy, the establishment in aud by France of a permanent government, adie to give a suficient guarantec for the securiiy of the highest interests of the nation, of its honor and prosperity and the preservation both of liberty andlaw. In the existing condition of affairs the same means which inaugurated the success of the undertaking — namely, the iuseparable alliance of the National Assembly and M. ‘thiers—can alone conduct 1t to @ successful termination. Let this, therefore, be the law by which their mutual mtercourse 1s reguiated, and tne constant aim of every legitimate influence, song or private, which has any right to affect hem, Mirabeau was wrong when he ratd, ‘‘ia petite morale tue la grande.” 1 13 infinitely more true that little subjects and little difficulties blind us to the importance of great ones, and that we often fail to reach the goal because we cannot over- look trifling impediments along the road. No doubt there are sometimes dificuities, misun- derstandings and unexpected collisions between the Chief oi the Executive Power and the Assembly to which the national sovereignty has been confided. ‘This is almost mnevitable, M. Talers may sometumes Ww impatient, the Assembiy may be trritavle; but it Wouid be deplorable, it would be horrible, if 1t were possible that any such accident should compromise the great work which has been confided to them. Tam convinced that, with a few concessiong and a little mutual consideration, the provisional overn- ment which was agreed upon at Bordeaux by the Assembly and the chief of the Executive power ts all that is Wanted at the present time to matniain their union and secure the success of their common course of action. ‘That which ts really important— which is, in fact, indispensable—is that there shall be no attempt to interfere wtih the purely provi- sional character of the present government; und that France shall reserve all rights, at home and abroad, as to her ultimate ana permanent form of governincat. In all cases, and whatever be the name of the ruling powers, the great art of governing ts to be firm about great things and the essential condiuons ol government, and to yield and be liveral with re- gard to all others. In 1596, after the assembly of the Notables de Rouen, Gabrielle d’ Estree was surprised to hear that Henri LV, had said to then, “I have called you to- gether in order to receive your advice, to accept tt, to follow it; in short, to place myself as a pupil in your hands—a thing which kings, graybeards and ‘conquerors are by no means apt to do."” “Ventre Saint Gris! tt 1s true,’ said the King; “TI said it, but then I had my sword.” And now, in our day, the sword of France is the coverneny of her peopie. Thave full confidence, Monsieur le President, thdt the Assembly over which you have the honor to pre- side will be able to keep the sword which has been confided to its hands, im spite of opposition and against all the world, And now, after the distinguished services which he has just rendered his country and the strikin; thanks which he has received from the National Assembly, M. Thiers will certalmy attach as much importance to union and harmonious actlun as the Assembly does, May they Sgn ty together and in the same spirit the work at which up to the presa- ent time they have labored together, and which has already been crowned by $0 great @ success. It ‘will pe their common glory and at the same time the salvation of France. Recelve, Sir, bar ee THE WEATHER, ras ‘ War DErARTueyt, Orrick OF THE CHIEF SIGNAL OrrickR, WasHINGTON, July 4—7 P. M.

A passenger train on the Nashville and North. western Railroad, which left here at twenty minutes Past eight o’clock P. M. yesterday, composed of two coaches and a sleeping car, met witha deplorable accident at Harpeth River, about eighteen miles from Nashville.

C., July 4, 1871. ‘Yhe stockholders of the Raleigh and Gaston Rail- Toad held an informal meeting to-day to consider the proposal made recently through a leading Vir- ginian to buy out a controlling interest in tnat road for the Pennsylvania Central. The meeting was largely attended, and a majority of the stock was represented. It was the sense of those present that it was their bounden duty to save some of the rail- road lines through the State from the grasp of the Pennsylvania monopoly, which already controlled the coast jines South and the lines of communica- tion through Virginia to the Southwest. A resolu- tion was unanimously adopted rejecting the propost- tion, and thia is taken to be the sense of the com- pany. The 6th tnstant Is set to acceptor reject the offer by those proposing it.

Cars ISLAND, July 4, 1871, Much to the 4isappointment of the tens of thou- sands assem bie here to witness the grand ocean yacht race between the finest spectmens of nautica science the yachting world have seen, the race has been postponed until Wednesday the 6th inst., owing to that frequent disturber of seaside festivities, a fog, which overhung the waters and saggested to the experienced pilots the necessity of the race he- ing deferred until it could take place with satisfac tion to all. The day broke pleasently, but the breeze was from the eastward, and in the early morning the masses of vapor hung so low an@ rolled in in such volumes from the ocean that the outer breakers could not be seen from tne shore. Not the least suspicion eatered the minds of the landsmen but that the curtain would lift and present a favorable day for the ocea- sion. So the arrangements for the event were sys- tematically made. A handred places of view were occupied by throngs of people. Appropriate cos- tumes were counted by the hundreds, and many ladies, In coquettish attire, encouraged by thew presence these nautical sports. Excurstoniets poured into Cape May from every direction, in addition to the twenty car loads of last night aud forty this morning, the Philadelphia, Baitimore and Washington dividing the honors io the matter of numbers, The steamboats were loaded with spectators of both sexes long before the hour appomted for tne yachts to start. The starting point was alive with all sorts of steam and sailing craft loaded with peo- ple. From this great concourse there arose great expectation, wiile occasionally the burst of cheers mingled with the music that came rippling over the waters. The sun shone with great inten- sity, but the fog bank continued, although lifting at times, just by way of teazing the uninitiated, and then would again roll in upon the feet; and if philosophy is ever of any avail in an emergency it must have been profitably brought out by every yachtsman and every spectator here this morning. The prospect of the grand regatta slipping away in a tranquillity of calm and vapor seemed such a calamity that at an early hour the regatta commit- tee were at the steamboat landing, abreast of which the yachts were at anchor, ahd hurriedly departed to the fagyacht Dauntless, where earnest consulta- tion was held with the old pilots of Cape Island, which had there been brought together at Chairman Bullitt’s request. The conference terminated at half-past ten o’clock, and a quarter of am hour after- wards the fleet were notified by a signal irom the Dauntless that the race was postponed until the Sth. ‘This decision was received with satisfaction by the majority, as each and all desired the regatta to be a triumph and not a fizzle. Tne regatta com- mittee, a8 soon as the postponement had been do- cided upon, departed to their steamboat, the Pinta, which had made arrangements to honor the day and the occasion with a national salute at noon. She steamed among the flect of yachts, and, fring @ salute of twenty-one guns, struck up “Hall Columbia” amid the choruses of sieam whistles and the huzzas of jolly sea dogs. The salute from the vinta was at once responded to from on board the flag yacht Dauntless, when the crowds on shore «is- persed and sought their hotels. The arrangements of the regatta committee are very complete, and it looks as if the race will provea magoificent and gigantic yachung triumph. . meade Another Account of the Postponement of the Regatta. Care ISLAND, July 4, 1871. A damp, foggy morning, saluted the thousands of spectators who had run down to Cape May to wit- hess the regatta—‘“Ihick enough,” said one burly old:grambler, ‘ to cut with a Knife.” Hopes ofa tine day and success(ul regatta were rapidly (ispelled as the fog thickened and ro}led in from the sea. The Marine walk from the Stockton Hotel to the Sea Breeze excursion house, a distance of one miie, was crowded with an eager crowd, vainly looking for a break in the thick mist that enveloped sea and land. In vain the Annapolis Band crashed out the latest selections from the operas; in vain the other marine and city bands brought the choicest treas- ures of their art tosalute the ears of those who Would not be comforted. Disappointed beiles and nautical swelis would not listen. “fhe fates are against us," said Miss Mcklimsey, “and 1 am sure we will not see the dear, darling Columbia, Daunt- less, Tidal Wave,” or such other vessel as might have been selected as favorites, and tn favor of which sundry patrs of kids and champagne break- fasts had been pledged. At ten o’clock the beach and walks were crowded; Indeed, it seemed that not another available inch of room was to be had under any consideration. Housetops were at a premium, and raised chairs were gobbled up at ten cents per half hour. Sport- ive gamins of this festive city by the sea indulged in the cheap amusements that appertain to our na- tonal holtday; shrieking dogs went howling aown the beach with firecrackers attached to their smoking narratives; yet the lads were all unconsctous of any- thing but their own sport, An excursion train of twenty-two cars arrived from New York and = Philadelphia, bearing pleasure-seckers, who were to learn of the disappointment in store for them. The pour for bathing having arrived, about two thousand people, with a desire to forget for a time their disappomtment, plunged into the surf and rolled around in the breakers to their hearts’ content. THE REGATTA COMMITTRE drove down to the bay and had @ conference with Commodore Bennett, when it was decided to post- pone the race until nine o’clock to-morrow, July 6. General satisfaction was expressed on all sides at the result of the conference; ‘‘but,” said the young ladies, “will we have the ball to-nighty Please do have the ball. You know we have counted so much ontt.” Well, to oblige the ladies, it was decided that the ball shonld be had in all its grandeur and the anxtous ladies should be allowed to dance till daylight if they wished with the naval heroes of the occasion. The remainder of the day was spent in riding, dining, ariving and gossip. The siupendous Nagle, a swell barber of the co- lored persuasion, who, by the way, drives one of the most elegant turnouts on the islaud, Was conspicu- ous in @ pony carriage and patr, accompanied by a fair African duenna of a very decided bionde type. The demi-monde, airing their graces in English drags and clarences; gamblers, bankers, lawyers and merchants were mixed tn a common crowa, each striving to outdo the other in the matter of horseflesh, reminding one of the English Derby or tne Jockey Club of Paris in its olden paliwwy days. The decorations have been in course of completion all the mornmg, and Stockton dining room at dinner presenting a very elegant appearance, bunt- ing of every nation gracefully Muwing trom the pe- Gestais and arches. Mottoes, engravings und paint- ings added a beautiful effect to the scene, as the company, under inspiring music of the band, fled into dinner, The Reception avd Ball at Congress Hall on Monday Night.

The balco- nies along the sea front of Congress Hall were crowded by gazers, who were denied tne “open sesame” to the ball—a ticket bearing the autograph of the President of the comunittee. Outside every available seat and every inch of standing room was occupted, rendering it a most diMcult matter for the uancers to play their part.

Singular Accident to the Wyoming Canal Neat ‘Wilkesbarre—Several Coal Minos Inun- dated—Stoppage of Operations, WILKESBARRE, Pa., July 4, 1871, Disagreeables of various kinds seem to invest the mining busmess in the northern portion of the a@uthracite coal fleld. Some two weeks ago a caving casualty occurred at the Empire mines, near this city, and caused great excitement and consterna- tion, when it was supposed that forty men had met untimely deaths by the accident. ‘Yo-day we have a second edition of the phenomena which was lately exhibited in New Jersey at a point on the Morris Canal, with the addition that not only has tae BOTTOM OF A CANAL TUMBLED OUT. but several coal mines have been rendered for ® ume useless by the freak. About six o’clock this morning people residing ia the vicinity of the Burroughs Mine, on what te known as the plank road, were startled by aloud rumbling notse, and equally surprised to notice that. the water in the North Branch of the Wyoming’ Canal had begun to run up stream. It was soon ascertained that a portion of the bottom of the Mill Creek level of the canal over the Burroughs mine had caved in, causing A HOLE FIFTY FEET LONG and of the widin of the canal and tow path. TR® casualty involves the fooding of the Enterprise mine, of J. H. Swoyer slope and shaft, the Mitchel mine, part oi Bowkley mine, the mine of Elllots & Co., and probably the works of Mr, Hileman, as these mines are ail connected with gangways. All the water of the level poured into the opening, and it may be said that the mines have received a quantity of liquid two miles long and about four feet top. The accident occurred at a poimt over a portion of the burrough’s mine which had been worked out, and was caused, most likely, by the robbing of the supports of the rool, % practice which sometimes prevalls when chambers have been exhausted, ‘Tne amount of damage canuot be estimated at present, but will be heaviest in the stoppage of the works—probably tor some weeks. ‘Ine canal will also be useless for a time. Preparations for an artificial bottom of the canal WHI be commenced at once, and the mines be pumpea out. The latter operation can go on while the repairs are betng made, as the entire Jevel is now clear of water. Fortunately the event took place to-day, when all the employés of the mines were celebrating. our national holiday. Great loss of life must have occurred had the wines been working as usual, At it is we have nothing but a vexatious delay in ther business of that part of the valley to regret.
