FRANCE.—President Bonaparte had a grand •review at Versailles on. Tuesday morning, in honour of the Nepaulese Ambassador. The spectacle of arms was imposing from great magnitude and a beautiful precision of movements. Louis Napoleon, General Jung Bahadoor on a magnificent barb, General Changamier, and the, Marquis of Nornumby, formcd the chief group ; M.. Horace Vernet displaying himself professionally on -horseback, . and ,Mademoiselle Cerito driving'close up:in her carriage, to 'exercise feminine vigilance ossr her:new Eastern conquest. M. Vernet was at once unfortunate and Distinguished : ho was thrown from his horse, • but immediately remounted a horse lent him by.the President ; presently he was thrown • off this horse also, and was rolled over by his beast ; it was feared that he was dangerously hurt, but, after a brief con- fusion of head, he recovered his wits, and with undaunted pluck mounted a third horse, and saw the review to the end.

The Noniteur rise Soir, a paper • whose officiality has often to be denied, and the Bulletin de. Paris, a strongly .Napoleonist organ for diffusing in- telligence to the provincial press, have simultaneously published an arti- cle on the President's- policy, which• attracts some attention.

"To accomplish the mission of peace which has been reserved for him by Providence, it is necessary that the power of the President should have sta- bility and duration. Louis Napoleon would not respond to the wish of the --six millions of citizens, who chose him as the symbol of the ideas of order -end prudent progress inaugurated in 1789, if he were humbly to bow•his 'head to • the Royalist coalition which imprudently agitates the country." Advocating the "immediate revision" of the Constitution, •the document continues—" If the National Assembly, forgetting that France desires above all things to be tranquillized, -should refuse to adopt a measure imperatively demanded by public safety, Louis Napoleon would not hesitate to make an a peal to the 'entire people, from whom he has received his mission. And the people would-decide whether the President of the Republic should adopt for his motto "Abnegation or Perseverance.' "

The policy of the Legitimists is more and more overt : it now includes an action by agents publicly accredited with the attributes of quasi minis- terial office; but.as the course to pursue becomes more definite, the.sup- porters of the principle become more divergent. The semi-official an- nouncement by M. Poujoulat, quoted last week, has been followed up by a manifesto under the signature of "De Barthelemy," which places the pretensions of the Count de Chambord officially before the French nation. The manifesto is dated from Wiesbaden, on the 30th August, and has the shape 'of a circular addressed to the partisans of the house of Bourbon in all the departments of France. It declares, what till lately has been denied, that the journey of the Count de Chambord to Wiesbaden was ac- complished with the political object of enabling him "to take a nearer view of things" ; "all our friends of the Legislative Assembly who were able to leave France made it their duty to be the first to reach Wiesba- den" ; ".the Count de Chambord has received each of them in private." The results are -that "while the Count has declared that he reserves to himself the direction of the general policy," "he has designated the men whom he delegated in France for the application of his policy." It "incontestibly follows," that "no other individuality, whether in the press or otherwise, can henceforth be put forward as the representative of that policy." "Besides the Count de Chambord, there can be none, in the

• eyes of the Legitimists, excepting the mandatories whom he has appointed; and who are, as you are no doubt already aware, the Duke de Levi,is Gene- ral de St. Priest, Representative of the Iferault, M. Berryer, 'Representative of the Bouches-du-Rhene, the-Marquis de Pastoret, and the Duke des Cars." "I am officially charged," says M. Barthelemy, "to make known to you what has been the declaration of the Count de Chambord himself." "He has formally and absolutely condemned the system of an appeal to the people, as implying the negation of the great national principle of hereditary monarchy. He at once repels any proposition which, in reproducing that idea, should modify the conditions of stability, which are the essential cha- racteristics of our principle, and which ought to make it be looked upon as the-only means of finally reacuing France from revolutionary convulsions. The language of the Count de Chambord was formal and precise ; he leaves no place for doubt, and every interpretation which could alter the moaning of it would be essentially inexact. To put an end to all those differences which have so strongly affected him, and which lead to nothing but our diminution to abandon sincerely and absolutely every system which could do the slightest injury to the rights of which he is the depositary ; to return to those honour- able traditions of discipline which alone can raise, after so many revolutions, the sentiment of authority; to remain steadfast in principles, moderate and conciliatory as regards persons,—such is the resume of all the recommend- - ations which the Count de Chambord has addressed to us, and which we are confident will be-fruitful in happy results."

" On my return to France," he concludes, with the style of a minister in actual tenure of his department, " I shall have, as in past times, the .konour of -transmitting. to you their instructions. [those of the " manda- stories " above named]; and I have the confidence that you will have the goodness to continue to give .me your precious assistance, and to keep me uauited with the situation of your department."

his declaration of policy, and this organization of official machinery, ,has called forth tho .Marquis de Larochejaquelin with a letter to the Eveaement, characterizing the document announcing them as a "foolish sect," but "accepting it completely" as his "excommunication."

" It is evident that we have no longer the same principles. I do not- be- lieve that Legitimacy is a `mystery' ; that, under the Republic, any more ,than under the Monarchy, 'the Representatives of France ought to obey the .orders of the Icing.' I have never had any doubt on that theory. Hence- ' - forth, Parliamentary faults should mount higher than their authors : that is Abe consequence of the orders given "In pelitics I cannot defend what I do not comprehend. If, in a respect- ful intiumoy„and without discussion being permitted to him, a private man f could personally bow down his love, his unbounded devotedness, before the , desires expressed by an exiled Prince, in terms which did not call on him to

!.repuclistersbutste be-silent-about his-loyal convictions, .the political raan can- '.not accepts-eMbesi for-himself or_ for hissfriends, the hamiliadon of Unlearn- qiitilifiable &Vie manifesto; the consequences of Which would-be as fatal to the principle of authority as to the principles of liberty. It is nolonger a question of persons, but a question-of principles. II:lave-a right to say that mine-are not those of the men-under whom.Iwould have given proof of dis- ciPline. " Anappeal to the nation 'is not, as is alleged, a a-evolutionary acts—it is the na tion itself, in itssovereipty, -finishing the sera of revolutions. I hadnot asked for an appeal to.the.nation on the principle-of Legitimacy. Who is there that does -not vemember that the question- was thus stated—Republie or -Monarchy? -The Legitimists, in 'basing the appeal 'to 'the 'people on.this solid, popular,. -and national groundwork, -would -have _struck down -allthe barriers which had ,heen raised aip more formidably than ever. .Had :.the Monarchy been proclaimed in principle, there was nothing more but reason, tradition, eery, utility of tthe past, 'to:claim for Legitinmy. Parties could not, in the situation produced for them by circumstances, do othersisethan submit before the national right of the France of_nine centuries, recognized and recalled-by-the nation. They will not have-it: I cando nothing in the matter.

" The-harshness of the language-of' theme:safest:els not even tempered by a single word admitting good intentions. I -henceforward leave to others the care of defending the doctrines which, in my error, I thought I -could alone supplest, without being hooted by public opinion. I will remain al- -wars faithful to the interests of my country, in acting -according to the law -which-governs it, without- troubling myselt about wishing or foreseeing the future, to which I shall have to submit. It will be permitted me to guard relis,eiausly in reserve, for' the satisfaction of my conscience, 'the political symbol which,has hitherto.led the faith of my-whole life; but there would not be, I.allows any application possible, if the manifesto which you have published had_ its effect."

! The Paris papers speculate much on the Sphirmlike counsels and con- duct of General Changasnier : all parties claim him ; lately he has am- . bignomsly-denied himself to be a Legitimist ; it is -now-surmised that he is simply for the party of-himself.

General Cavaignac's health givesshis Iriends,inereasing anxiety. He has long been-subject toperiodical attacks, which' produce great suffering, and which are followed by lassitude and weakness ; and it is said that these attacks have become mueh-more -frequent. 1 'The Paris -press on Wednesday:came under the operation of the law requiring a signature to articles. Some of the editors sign only One general avowal ; others the principal articles ; others every communication, even the most trivial.

r General Jung Bahadoor -astonishes the *Parisians by his princely largesses. 'Taken behind the scenes at the. Opera, he was most eloquent in his admiration of Mademoiselle Cerito both in word and- deed : .paying Eastern compliments to her beauty and explisite grace, he presented her, after the.fashion of 'the Orientals, with 'the most valuable bracelet at the time about his person—himself delicately clasping it on the fair arm of the enchantress. On another occasion, the whole of the ballet corps-went through. a divertissement for his especial entertainment ; the director of the Opera placing him in a central throne to witness the elfin:per- formanee. Fruit was offered him ; __he declared that though it would be against the formulary precepts of his to eat before persons of another religion, he would not abstain if it would give offence. Of course he was excused ; and then-the coryphees ate-the frnit-for him, with a jocose avidity that tickled his fancy. On his farewell salute, he slipped.intothe director's hand a handkerchief containing 2500 francs.

GERMANY.—The Elector of Hesse-Cassel has formally transferredihis government to Wilhelmsbad, a suburb of Hanau, only a few miles:from the protective arms of Bavaria. The Standing Committee of the States immediately issued a declaration at Cassel, in which they remind- the people that-the proclamations of the 4th and 7th September were-uncon- stitutional, and had remained unexecuted by the officers of the adseiniss native and financial departments, on the ground of their sworn allegiance to the constitution. The declaration conclude-a- 1 " Althoughthe Ministry has . done its best to plunge the imam in confu- sion, no one need doubt that, notwithstanding these threats, the cause of right and law will emerge aactoriously from the present trial if the. eople will but abide steadfastly by its duty." The States Committee have since issued an address to the Elector, telling him that he is falsely informed of the sentiments of his country- " Public- opinion declares your Ministers to be your worst enemies" ; " they are considered as men who endeavour to subvert not only the Hes- sian constitution, but also your own high Electoral house, and who are so many serpents in your bosom." " Your Government stands unsupported and isolated. Your courts and-functionaries are not undutiful—they know their duty. The legal and dignified attitude of -the people will intimate to you who-the men are who have trampled on law and-justice-and who have violated the constitution of the country.

" Royal Highness, we pray you to make your-peace with the country, and to-put a terns to a state of things wbichmnust necessarily end unfavourably, for you. ,Consider that a constitutional government is impossible for ministers of that class, and that with your Ministers you have no choice but to over- throw the constitution andto.intreduce _a_ despotic government. Listen to our most humble prayer : remove the seat of your government back to the capital of the.eountry ; 'discharge your traitorous Ministers ; and fulfil your promise of the 11th of. March 1818, by selecting men who have the .confi- deuce of 3 our -subjects." A letter from Cassel, of September 20, states that the Auditor-General has ordered the two first points of the accusation against General Bauer, (violation of-the constitution, and high treason,) which he had first ;re- jected, to be proceeded with.

The ilayi4urg Gazette states-that the Engeren Rath, or Executive of the Frankfort Parliament, has resolved to give the Elector " assistance." .Bayarian and Prussian troops are. massed on the Hessian frontier, and Hanover is said to be marching a small corps thitherwards.

The ferment in German politics goes on to .involve other of the minor Mates. The Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin has annulled ;the Liberal constitution " conceded "—somewhat _perforce, in the late revo- lutionary years : his Parliament take the same constitutional ground with that of Electoral Hesse ; but at-present with less apparent success.

Isms AND CnLea.—The fuller accounts by the overland mail, vsbich follow the telegraphic anticipations of it received last week, are now be- fore us.

From the Punjaub we are told, that a new pass between Peshawur and Kohat has been discovered, and that this means is to be turned to a -quiet mode of pacification against the Afreedees. The old pass through

the region inhabited by these people is to be -closed, and their Tallies block- aded instead of penetrated ; and thus- etarved'of the plunder which they levy'from passengers--they are 'to be brought to sue for restored commu- nications.

The Calcutta Morning Chronicle gives the following account of a terri- Ade outrage at Alipore. It may be premised that another paper in its de- scription ascribes the outbreak to the frauds of the villagers by the use of :false weights.

" At about ten- o'clock in the forenoon of the 16th July, several Sepoys ,belonging to the Alipore Militia were engaged in a serious disturbance with some natives near the bridge, owing to the former having very brutally treated -several respectable women of the locality. 'The villagers were too strong for -the Sepoys who retreated, but just happened to stumble upon a treasure- 'guard, consisting of a Havildar and four Sepoys, who were conveying the pay of the guard to the Hospital :.these latter joined their comrades; but upon 'finding themselves too weak to combat the villagers, spread the alarm in the lines that the treasure was looted. The order was given (we should like to know.whether by the commandant or not) for the men to turn out ; which they all did, and in numbers about 600. A scene then ensued which beg- -gars description : houses were pulled down in every direction ; persons of .every description were attacked in the most cruel manner—palkee-bearers, durwans, &c. ; women of the most respectable character were used worse than they could have been in an enemy's country—scores of them were stripped of :their clothes and left in a state of complete nudity—rings were torn from their noses and ears, and the unfortunate creatures presented a fearful ap- .pearance in consequence of the blood streaming from the wounds inflicted by .the inhuman and unmanly ruffians that attacked them. This scene, though -we' can hardly credit it, continued for nearly three hours ; and was only .quelled by the active and energetic interference of the Magistrate, Mr. ;Elliot, who was on thespot so soon as he received intelligence of the affair. Three: en have been killed, a great number terribly wounded ; and, what is the most fearful item of the tragedy, a young woman in an advanced state of pregnancy was run through the breast with a bayonet, and so killed." A body of ryots, 600 in number had risen in arms.near Banda, on the road to A llshabad, and expelled the Native revenue authorities—sending their families across the Jumna •out of the way. M. Riopetts, C.S., had proceeded to the spot to learn the cause of the disturbance ; and it was ex- pected a detachment of troops from Allahabad would move out to his as- sistance. Some gross imposition on the people by thd Native revenue-offi- cers is surmised to be the moving grievance.

The internal war in the territories of the Nizam 'has been terminated, for the time, by the total defeat of the refractory Nawab of Eliohpore .in the battle of Akote, on the 20th of July. The defeat was a " total -rout " ; so that ".the Nizam will have no more difficulty from this quar- ter."

The Governor-General has sanctioned the formation of a road from -Elimlah to Ladakh, which will open up a trade from our North-east pro- vinces to Thibet and the South-west provinces of China. Great benefits to trade are expected hence, as there are no imposts of any kind, and as merchandise can be sent Northwards from India, by the British, much cheaper than they can be brought Southwards from Siberia by the 'Rus- sians.

There was much talk in India about a duel at Banda. Lieutenant .Litchford, of-the Forty-eighth Native Infantry, is said to have challenged

..Lieutenant.liusham th.e same regiment, because ho "made himself generally disagreeable at mess," and sneered at and cut Lieutenant Litch- ford. They fought, and Huxham was wounded severely ; it was.at first thought mortally, but later accounts place him out of danger.

Another case of a kindred nature, reported by Indian letters, is that of 'Lieutenant Hugh Rose, of the Third Regiment Native Infantry ; " who is to be, or has been, iried for falsely declaring to a third party that Mr. Lang, the editor of the Hofussilite, was drunk at a ball, and for seeking . the protection of the civil power when Mr. Lang threatened him with personal chastisement."

The accounts from Hongkong extend to the 24th July. The Governor returned from his expedition towards Pekin in her Majesty's ship the Reynard, without having succeeded in gaining official acknowledgment ; indeed, without having entered the Peiho, the stream being too shallow for his vessel of war. The Mandarins had referred him back to Canton. So our hopes of exchanging Ningpo for a better port and of entering Can- ton under our original treaty are again postponed. There had been an increase of sickness and mortality among our troops at Hongkong. ." As many as a hundred and sixty men have been in hospital at one time, and about thirty-five had died of fever." It is observed—" This hap- pens when there is no unusual sickness either among the community or the Government Police force. In 1848, the Ninety-fifth Regiment, from illness and the number in hospital, were declared unfit for duty, and about a hundred were carried off in a short space of time." The evil is with probability traced to " the crowded state of the rooms occupied by the men, and atnight in particular, their beds being only six inches apart.'

The Portuguese at Macao had sustained a fresh blow in the sudden death of their new Governor, Commodore Cunha. It was suspected, from expressions of his own, that he was poisoned ; but -a post-mortem examination negatived this belief, and left only the conclusion that cholera was the cause of death.

Menne STAT,E8.—Parliamentary news of importance from Washington comes in a lump. We mentioned in our last. Postscript, that the House of Representatives had passed the Texas Boundary Bill, and had further- more added to it, and passed in the same bill the measure giving a Terri- . tonal Government to New Mexico. The passing of these bills proved the turning-point in the political crisis ; their success was immediately fol- lowed by the success of the bill for admitting California into the Con- federation, that for giving a Territorial Government to Utah, (the region between New Mexico and California,) and the Fugitive Slave Bill. And thus have passed the whole of the rejected members of the ridiculed " Omnibus Bill" of Mr. Clay ; with the additional feature that the prin- ciple of compromise was sanctioned by the union in one of the two bills regarding the Texas boundary and the New Mexico Government. These results were hailed with rejoicings throughout the Union ; not bemuse either the Slavery or Free Soil party thinks it has gained a victory, but because the interest of the contest has thoroughly expired, and the mass of citizens generally, as distinguished from professional politicians, were glad of ;any solution. The Washington correspondent of the New York Spectator gives his opinion that "neither side gains anything of the other."

"The Free States yield the [Wilmot) proviso inthe Territories, [that is to say, they failed in efforts to introduce it ni the Territorial bills,) but it is pro-

Amble that the object of the proviso has been attained. The real point of interest and importance to the North in this oontroveray for a year past has been the unconditional admission of California. She has come in by a vote of three to one, and that immense majority is composed in considerable part of Southern members. The Slave States are represented in it by twenty- seven of its wisest and most patriotic members. Such men as Messrs. Gentry, Stanley, Morehead, Bowlin, lif'Dowell, were found on the side of justice, reason, and moderation." i

California is admitted with her own chosen free constitution ; and her two Senators, Colonel Fremont and Mr. Gwinn, have taken their seats in the Central Legislature of the Union. Their votes will change the balance of parties in the Senate to a Free-Soil majority of one. The Territories of New Mexico and Utah are left at liberty to adopt a free or a servile constitution as they please ; and there is no doubt that they will "promptly and emphatically " declare themselves Free-Boilers. Some miscellaneous measures of political interest had been brindled in Congress. On the 9th instant, the Senate read a third time a bill giving 'to the Secretary of the Treasury discretionary power to permit the load- ing and unloading in American ports of vessels from the British North American Provinces. On the 10th instant, iu the House of Representa- tives, a resolution was hitt-educed, directing an official inquiry into the expediency of so amending the contracts for carrying the mails to Great Britain as to "require" the steamers to call at the port of Galway in Ire- land coming and going.

The vacant Secretaryship of the Interior is accepted by Mr. Stewart of Virginia, an "earnest Protectionist"—like his predecessor under Presi- dent Taylor; and the appointment has been ratified by the Senate.

The political interest of these Parliamentary subjects has not diverted the New -Yorkers from the extravagant indulgence of their new excite- ment about Mademoiselle Lind. Of course there is a prodigious deal of -eharlatanrie at work on Mr. Barnum's behalf; but after all abate- ments, there would seem to be an unsurpassed enthusiasm of genuine cha- racter. At the auction of tickets, the price of the first ticket was 225 dollars, or about 451.; the purchaser being a hatter living next door to the Irving House : his bargain, if not done on commission for Mr. Bar- num himself; was no doubt as much made to advertise himself •as to give vent to his uncontrollable devotion for the Nightingale. Indeed, he is said to have declared his hope that the " spec " will return him 1000 dol- lars for the 225 he adventured. The succeeding prices were 25 dollars, 20 dollars, and so on in regular decrease down to 6 dollars. The furor of the citizens has a high money exponent, however, even when reduced to an average : 1429 tickets were sold on the first day, at an average price of 6 dollars 38 cents—about 24s. 6d. ; and 3055 tickets were sold on the second day of the auction, at an average of five dollars a piece, or rather more than one pound. Among the matters of gossip is a storythat a fortunate young citizen is " letting out to kiss " a glove of Mademoiselle Jenny's, which he got by good chance, or by successful intrigue among her domes- tics : he charges one dollar for the moderate bliss of an outside kiss, and two dollars for the perfect ecstasy of an inside kiss : he is "rapidly making a Californian fortune," add the accounts, with implicit gallantry. "From morn till dewy eve," says the Weekly Herald, "the Irving House was crowded with human beings, within and without ; and the steam- boats and railway trains were loaded with passengers coming to this anc- tropolis to see the Swede. Even the clergy and bishops are running to see her." Dr. Cummings, a splendid orator am the. Slavery question, bad already been at her with some school-girls and a six-dollar bouquet : of course, he expected a concert for his school. At twelve o'clock Bishop Hughes paid his dovoirs, and " laid on the flattering unction in the most delicate manner. Jenny Lind felt highly honoured with a visit from so distinguished a churchman."

"Next came Major Woodhall, to tender the enchantress the welcome of the city of New York ; and -then proceeded to shower compliments on Made- moiselle. He said= We have heard Malibran and-other singers, but we all know you are the Queen of Song.'

" Jenny Lind (interrupting You frighten me. Everybody fright- ens me with too much praise. I fear I shall never come up to the expecta- tions formed of me. I have been spoiled with flattery twice before, and fear I shall be spoiled again.'

"Mayor= We know that you are accustomed to this, and that-it cannot injure you. We think you worthy of it.' 'Jenny Lind--' No ; it is always new to me. I cannot accustom myself to it. There is too much friendship shown me. I am full of imperfections ; and if you ,continue to flatter me in this way, I shell tremble when I come to sing.' " " It is quite evident," says the Weekly Herald, with Republican taste and free enlightenment finely blended, "that Miss Lind, who is made of a mould peculiarly sensitive and susceptible of applause, was overwhelm- ed with the praises lavished upon her by the Iwo distinguished individuals who had thus visited her in succession. Her cheek was mantled with blushes."

At one of the rehearsals for the first concert, an incident of political association occurred. Mademoiselle Lind had not gone through half a dozen notes of the " Casts diva," when the discharge of a heavy piece of ordnance startled her into a momentary pause. Smilingly recovering herself, she went on again ; but was again stopped dead by a second boom. Again she smiled, but would not proceed—" she had to give It up." " It turned out to be the firing of the hundred guns from the battery in celebration of the admission of California into the sisterhood of States. During the firing, two or three wreaths of the smoke from the guns were borne right over Castle Garden, and had a very pretty effect. When she was informed of the cause of the interruption, she said it was to her a very agreeable interruption, as it was for the good of the country."
