      France. The Rupture Between The Presiden...

      FRANCE . The rupture between the President and the _Committee of Permanence , represented by General Changarnier , continues to absorb public attention in Paris . The Committee bold meetings daily , and , it is said , intend to do so until the meeting of the Assembly . The President has maintained his ground , as far as Ihe dismissal of General Neumayer , _Changarrier * s second in command , is concerned . Neumayer has refused to accept the command at Nantes whicb was offered to him , and Changarnier has retaliated by publishing an important « order of the day , which declares open war with the Elysee . The order * isdeliberateAll cries

      « No armed troops can . are forbidden to tbe troops while under arms . The commander-in-chief calls the stnct attention of the Officers arid soldiers under hit command to theie laws of the military service . ' Paris , Nov . 2 . ( Signed ) ' - Changarnier . ' This expressive document was communicated to the _troop 3 without consulting the Minister of War . It was only known at the Elysee on Sunday night ; and when the President was made aware both of the nature of the proclamation and of the circumstance of its having been read to the troops without any notice being given to the government , he turned pale with anger . A council of ministers was assembled at the _Elyies on Sunday night , and another on Monday morning .

      The * Debats' says , however , that , at a late hour on Sunday night , some reflecting men interfered and succeeded in putting an end to a misunderstanding which might have led to incalculable consequences . It adds that the counsels of good sense and moderation have prevailed , and that confidence has succeeded to insulting suspicion . The' Order' aud * Assemblee Nationale' insert at the bead of their columns , by order of the Prefect of Police , rectifications of articles designed to damage the government . The' Assemblee National is called _upan to contradict its assertion , that cries

      of * Vive I'Etnpereurl' were not only authorised hut provoked at the review of Satory by the President . Tbis statement is designated a falsehood , and the repetition bf it would be a deliberate calumny . The 'Order'is called upon to contradict its report tbat the ministers gave in their resignations en Tuesday night , and were only retained in office by the promotion of General Neumayer to a higher command . It is equally untrue , according to the Prefect of Police , tbat an intention existed on the part of the government of replacing General Forest by Colonel Alpbonse . These are styled perfidious allegations .

      The papers are filled with accounts of domiciliary wits and arrests which are taking place every day at Lyons , and in all the cities of Provence . The go-Ternment papers continue to affirm that a monster conspiracy exists in the whole of the east and south of Prance . A despatch from the Ardeche , the ¦ Times' says , states that the Prefect of that department , having received information that some Socialist leaders were attempting to constitute a secret society with a view to excite insurrection in thedepartment , and that they _were in the act of holding a meeting in the mountains , the Prefect ( who is the same active and

      courageous person that arrested Soubeyran ) proceeded at once to the spot with a small detachment of gendarmes to arrest the parties . They arrived at the place of meeting , and arrested four or five persons . On their return from the mountains a numher of peasants met them and effected a rescue . The gendarmes were only six in number . The Prefect , however , took a reinforcement , and again set out for the same spot , when the crowd that had _xescued the prisoners fled into the mountains . At the date of the despatch the Prefect bad not recovered the prisoners , but he announces his determination to persevere until they be given up or until they surrender .

      The same paper has the following vindictive iiotice : —' Barbes , who , as you are aware , was confined at Donellens , has written to the Minister of ihe Interior , demanding imperatively to be transferred with his fellow-prisoners lo Belleisle * and two of his friends waited this day on the Minister , and supported the demand . The reason Barbes was not transferred to Belleisle was his state of health , and he was left under the milder regime of Donellens from motives of humanity . Barbes is , "however , determined to be a martyr , and wul be sent to Belleisle . This is the third time that the demand has been made . M . Baroche bas just written the order for bis removal . **

      The journal ' La Reforme' is to reappear on the lOth ' inst . It was suppressed after June , 1849 . It now appears under the patronage of ninety-six _representatives of the Mountain . M . Ode , advocate of Uzes , and Procureur of the "Republic under the Provisional government , was arrested a few days ago at Nimes _, on the charge of having been concerned in the conspiracy at Lyons . A person named Carle , of Bagnols _, was also arrested on the same charge . He had left Nimes by the diligence when the warrant arrived ; but the central commissary of police immediately went in puno . it of him and overtook the diligence at Connaux . "While he was examining the list of passengers , which he made the conductor produce , Carle slipped quietly away , bnt he was observed and stopped . A search

      subsequently made in his house at Bagnols resulted in the seizure of important papers and letters . In the department of the _Basses-Alpes _. _MeBsrg . Langomasino , Sauve , and Rouvier have also been arrested in _connexion with the eame affair ; the second iras a _auh-comraissaire of the Provisional government ; the third , President of the Workmen ' s Club . ' The * Messager du Midi' of Montpelier announces that _doMciliary visits had been made to the houses of M . Gervais , ex-Commissary-General of the Provisional government , M . Auriol , ex-editor of the' Montag-• nard , ' and M . Boyer , ex-editor of the' Independant . ' The responsible editor of « La Mode , ' M . Voillet de St . Philibert , was fined 500 f . by the Tribunal of Correctional Police , for not having deposited copies of that periodical at the parquet until after other copies had been sent to the Post-office .

      A hollow peace has been patched up between Changarnier and the President , neither of whom fonnd themselves in a position to make open war npon each other . The Ministers , with one exception , threatened to resign , if the President dismissed Changarnier , as he wished to do , and the General who wished , in the event of his dismissal , to be entrusted by the assembly with the command of 60 , 000 men to watch over the Legislative body , found , at the last moment , tbat M . Dupin , the

      President of the Assembly , hesitated , and could not he depended npon . On Monday , therefore , he ¦ risited the Elysee and , according to the ' Times , ' stated , formally , that his order of the day was not intended as a personal insult to ( he President . "With this statement the latter expressed himself satisfied , _and the General bas since issued a secoud order which , even more pointedly , repeats his opposition to the personal policy of the Buonapartists . It is as follows : —

      'By a decree of the President of the Republic , dated the 29 th of October , General Carrelet , commanding the 7 th military division , is called to the command of the lst , vice-General Neumayer , promoted to the superior command ofthe 14 th and 15 th divisions . In communicating this arrangement ta the troops , the General-in-Chief doubts not that General Carrelet will maintain in his division the spirit of order , discipline , and devotedness which has constituted the force of the Army of Paris , and that , _following the example of his predecessor , he will secure on every point the complete execution of the military regulations . ' The correspondent of the ' Times' continues his pretended revelations of Socialist plots and conspiracies , and the consequent arrests made by tbe authorities . "When it is known that these

      statements all proceed from the lureau of M . Carlier , the Prefect of Police , our readers will understand what value to put upon them . The Times' says . — t _jJt _^ } _* arr _« ted at Lyons is an intimate fnend of the well-known Sobrier . Among his papers was found a long letter from a fane _S 7 _i ° f _*^™* _-nt resides at a diZce SfiSS _^ i * " himse , f the P arti 8 an * _^ e Sin Toll Iy ? le " _» " * _tawa «» _» person now in custod y , were intercepted on Thursday last .

Thev Consisted of letters tbat passed between a Socialist Chief of that place and a Pole who had been ap . pointed inspector of the Ponts et _Chaussees , hut iras dismissed , and then residing at Orleans . 'Toulon is perfectly quiet ; some arrests have taken place there . When the police visited the house of a person named Mealy , they found him attempting to swallow a paper . One of the police gWBped him by the throat and _prcTfflted him . The paper was fonnd to contain a list of _tbjrty-six pereons deeply compromised the plot . _^ _. _^

      < Despatches from _Marseillerfannounce that confidence is completely _restored there , in consequence of the decision and energy manifested b y the government on 7 the _occasioh _^ of-the _^ discovery of fthes conspiracy _^' ' Arrests have been made and important papers connected with the conspiracy discoveredamongstother places , at Gap , Antibe , and Draguig . nan—all showing the existence of an extensive plan of revolution , in wbich Germans and Italians were also to join . At Draguignan an advocate of the name of Pastoret and an apothecary named Provengal were arrested . It was feared that the arrest of the former would have been followed by disturbance there , but nothing of the kind has taken place .

      GERMANY . RESIGNATION OF THE PRUSSIAN PRIME MINISTER . HBerxin . —The resignation of Radowitz was accepted by the King of Prussia on . tbe 3 rd inst . The leaders of tbe opposition against the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs were Manteuffel , Brandenburg , Simons , Stockhausen , and Rabe ; Ladenburg and Von der Heydt alone supporting him . The latter gentlemen sent in their resignations

      simultaneously with General von Randowiiz . The conferences at Vienna will now take place under the presidence of Austria as soon as they can possibly be assembled . By tbis step Prussia in the _meanwhile succumbs to Austria , which has also interfered in a very highminded manner in the affairs of Schleswig Holstein , by ordering the immediate cessation of hostilities and , in case of non-compliance , threaten that the execution of the orders shall be insured through the means of federal troops .

      ENTRANCE OF THE BAVARIANS AND AUSTRIANS INTO HESSE CASSEL . The Bavarian and Austrian troops , under the command of Prince von Thurn and Taxis , entered Hesse Cassel on the lst inst ., and took up quarters in the city of Hanau , at one o ' clock in the afternoon . Their force consisted of about 8 , 000 mem including an Austrian rifle battalion 1 , 000 strong . . The Prince , having passed his troops in review , in Hanau , ordered , a large portion of them to march , in the afternoon , forward to Gelnhausen _, where they took up quarters . 3 , 500 men remained quartered in Hanau .

      A proclamation , issued by the * commissary of the Bundestag , ' was potted up simultaneously with one from the Elector . The only act by which the people showed their feeling was that of tearing down these proclamations , in which he declares that these troops have entered Hesse to maintain the constitution , as if the people wished to upset it . It is the old story of the wolf and the lamb . " Another letter says : —• To-day , at one , p . m ., a detachment of the 2 d division of the Bavarian army , commanded by Prince Tour-and-Taxis , entered

      Hanau . Their number is estimated at 5 , 000 . After passing them in review , the main body of the detachment continued its march towards _Gelenhauser _, leaving a garrison at Hanau as the headquarters . The advance of the troops was so sudden , that they had to bivouac in the streets . All the houses are filled witb soldiers ; some of them lodge as many as sixty . The attitude of the population is calm , with the exception that the proclamations of the Elector and of the federal commissary , Count Rechberg , were torn down as tbey were posted up . '

      A letter , dated Berlin , lst November , says * * . — ' The treaty of Bregentz , of the ' 12 th October , ia an authentic fact . After a lengthy introduction , to the effect that the Diet is constituted ; that , according to the final act of the treaty of Vienna ,- it must put down rebellion ; the article says , that ii the Elector invokes the aid of the Diet , the latter is bound to give it . The subsequent clauses give the details of execution . Austria is to provide 150 , 000 men , Wurtemberg 20 , 000 , Bavaria 30 , 000 . Bavaria is to form the vanguard near Frankfort , and is to enter first . Such is the treaty which was signed by Prince _Schwarzenberg ( for Austria , ) by Von der Pforten ( Bavaria , ) and Von Linden ( Wurtemberg ) . You are aware that Russia , acknowledging the principle of tbe treaty , promised that the execution of the resolutions of the Diet should bave

      her moral support in Hesse and her material assistance in Schleswig . But Russia counsels a settlement of the Hestian question by joint intervention . In a word the Emperor recognises , or is about to recognise , the Diet * advises an amicable adjustment of the Hessian question , and leaves that oi Scbleswig in abeyance . Reports are current of a change of Ministry , and of tbe resignation of M . de Radowitz . As regards the Statthalterschaft _, I am informed on good authority that it is willing

      to enter into negotiations with Denmark / either by direct communication , or through the medium of the commission proposed by Prussia ( supposing she bs represented in that commission , ) on the conditions , first , that the Danes retire behind the first line of demarcation ; secondly , that the armistice be concluded for the term of one year , so that on the resumption of hostilities , the season of the year shall not be favourable only to the Danes . You may be sure that Denmark will not accept such conditions . '

      It is said that Russia . _' . demands the immediate reconstruction of the Bundestag / and will admit of no other terms . Russia insists , therefore , on Prussia giving up her project of a separate confederation , and of reconstituting the Diet as it existed before 1848 . She presumes to dictate how Germany is to be governed ; how Europe , in fact , is to be organised ; and very soon she will probably ask for the abrogation of our House of Commons and our trial by jury as dangerous to the despotism of the Czar and his coadjutors . For England now

      to co-operate with Russia , if there be a grain of foundation for tbis report , would be something like co-operating with Napoleon in the plentitude of his power to destroy , tbe independence of every state in Europe . Instead of helping to bring the _Czsr forward into Europe , he must be terrified back , if need be , by an union of all the other powers and people of Europe ; and woe to that monarch and that people , be thty wbo they may , who side with the Czar , and would sacrifice the civilisation and liberties of Europe to the barbarous despotism of Russia .

      "We must notice at the same time that Prussia , in a despatch , dated Berlin , Oct . 23 , shows herself willing to co-operate cordially in healing the strife between Denmark and the Duchies . The armies of Prussia and Austria are concentrating in opposition to each other , about Hesse Cassel ; but we are assured that the bulk of the Germans will regard these powers , if they begin to fight on such a trifle as the constitution of Hesse Cassel , as the worst enemies of their fatherland . Should such an opinion be deliberately formed on good grounds , not many years will thereafter elapse before the houses of _Hapsburgh and Hohenzollern will occupy in Europe tbe same position as the house of the elder Bourbons . Tbey will be set aside as belonging not to their age and nation .

      FNTRY OF THE PRUSSIANS INTO HESSE . According to advices from Cassel , of the 2 d inst . , the 18 th Regiment of Prussian Infantry , accompanied by a squadron of Hussars and a battery of artillery , entered that town on the morning of that day after a very severe forced night march . These troops were sent off by Oeneral Groeben from Warburgh as soon as . he received intelligence of the entry of the Bavarians and Austrians on the opposite side of the Electorate . The military posts in Cassel were occupied by tbe Burgher Guard . The reception of the Prussian troops by the inhabitants was quiet but friendly . There seems to be no doubt that the determination had been taken at Berlin to waive all

      differences for the present , and refer them to the Free Conferences to be held at Vienna , wben the news arrived of the entrance of the Bavarians and Austrians into Hesse . Such a step on the part of Austria could only have been taken for the purpose of provoking war . Of the orders that have been sent from Berlin to the Prussian general in Hesse nothing certain is known . What is known is , that immediately on its becoming public in Cassel that the Bavarians had entered , a despatch was sent to the Prussian troops at Warburgb , who instantly marched and occupied Cassel . It must be

      premised that Cassel as well as Warburgh _ai-e on the etapen strasse ( military road , ) and that by occupying them the Prussiaus are in no contravention of right or treaty . It ia also to be borne in mind tbat there are eighteen millions of dollars in hard cash in the Elector ' s treasury at Cassel ; and no doubt one great aim of the Elector ' s advance _vras to secure them . For this purpose he sent an aide-de-camp with orders ; but it seems that the aide-de-camp returned without having performed , what he was se ° fcf ° - The dollars remain at Cassel , both they guard stand » com ™ i « ee being under Prussian

      number bf prisoners . The Danes are said to have suffered severely . At the same time some thirty of our wounded have been brought to tha hospital . The combat was sharp , but our Jagers exhibited their ancient valour . '

      ROMAN , STATES . The correspondent of the' Daily News' says : —By virtue of an old privilege , pleaded when the Pope pardons a criminal on the point of being put to death , the religious fraternity of St . John the Headless had claimed the entire liberation of the three prisoners whose narrow escape had excit ed so much sensation in Rome . This claim was not admitted . The government had manifested a' design te deprive the monastic bodies of the right of electing their own superiors , which had stirred great discontent , especally among the Benedictines . Altogether one can hardly imagine a more uncomfortable position than that of the ecclesiastical authorities , with the fear of a popular revolt , a military

      defection amongst their own soldiers , and . the absence of their auxiliaries and protectors in the trying moment ; but it is ever thus with a government which trusts rather to force than to the affection of the subject , and which is perpetually in fear , as it is the cause of fear in others , according to the old adage , '¦ ' Necesse est muttos _iimeai quern multi timeht . ' ' The officers and . soldiers of the 22 nd and 2 oth regiments , recently ordered to Africa , were delighted to leave Rome , where the French are daily subjected to a thousand mortifications , and ; where ihe pitiable figure their expedition has cut gives rise to sarcastic and humiliating reflections , which they overheard . in the piazzas and cafes without being able to , deny their justice .

      SWITZERLAND . i Religious disputes are running very high at the present moment in Switzerland . Tive ' same spirit of proselytism which has induced the Court of Rome to assume _; the . right of establishing' a Catholic hierarchy in England , is busily at work in all the countries ot Europe containing a mixed Protestant and Catholic population ; but in no place has it shown itself more boldly than in Switzerland , where it is encouraged b y the High Church party in France , with an ardour which they would not venture to display in their own country ; Ah instance has just occurred in the Canton of the _Grikons , in which a prelate has acted in a manner which shows

      that he narrowly watches the proceedings of his fellow labourers in Ireland . ' The government of the _GrisoQs have established a college at Oire , ' for the education both , of Protestants and Catholics ; the Bishop , of Coire set his face againstthe mixed system of education , and addressed a circular to his clergy , in which he denounced the colleges as heretical / and instructed the clergy to prevent their flocks from attending them . The government * justly indignant at the conduct of the bishop , called together the Grand Council of the canton ; and in

      order tq prevent any such interference for the future , brought forward a motion to the effect that the distribution of no episcopal circulars should be allowed without a special andprevious permission from the government . The question was brought before the Grand Council on the 30 th of October . A violent discussion ensued . " The Catholic members , with the exception of two , protested against the measure , and left the meeting before it came to a vote . The question was then put to tho voto , and the proposition of the government was voted unanimously .

      SPAIN . ¦ . The Cortes was opened on the 31 st ult . , by the Queea , with the usual ceremonies ., The Queen was accompanied by the ; King Consort . In the speech from the throne Her Majesty began by alluding to the hopes she had entertained of presenting herself with a Prince or Princess on the occasion , but expressed her _resignation to the will of Providence . She expressed satisfaction in being able to announce the happy _re-establishment of diplomatic relations with Great Britain in a manner Worthy of both countries . Friendly relations continued with other Powers . The Spanish expedition to Rome had been eminently successful . In 'the" interior of Spain public order was maintained and past dissensions forgotten . Tranquillity was for a moment disturbed

      in Cuba by a set of foreign pirates , who fled hefore the loyalty of the people ; and the bravery of the troops . The army preserved its reputation for discipline , and the navy . wis increasing in importance-Various reforms hadbeen made in the penal code of Spain , all of which would be submitted to the Cortes by the Ministers . Reforms had also been effected in many otber branches of the public administration . The public revenues continued to progressively _increase' Tbe plan for the definitive settlement Of the public debt would be presented ; also that of the Basque fueros . In a word , the state of-the country Her Majesty pronounced to be relatively prosperous and favourable . The ceremony took place in the new Palace of the Congress , the Chamber of Deputies . .

      . ¦;•; UNITED STATES . f The _EuropaV Captain " Lott , arrived at Liverpool on Sunday morning at half past nine , with dates from New York lo the 23 rd ult . She brings eighty passengers , and specie to the amount of 500 , 000 dols . . -The Fugitive Slave excitement continued in the States . The Pennsylvanian Abolition Convention had held a meeting , at which Frederick Douglas and other coloured persons were expected to speak , but hearing that persons claiming them as Fugitive Slavea were in pursuit , they had to decamp . The papers are filled with details of suits at law for the recovery of Fugitive , Slaves . * We take ' the'following example of a case in Philadelphia frbni the ' . New York Weekly Tribune'

      ;¦—' The alleged fugitive was an industrious , orderly black man , engaged in the bumble vocation of a hod carrier . He was arrested while going to bis work in the afternoon , and was secretly carried off tothe Supreme Court-room , after court hours , where he was locked up , ' in company with the judge , marshal , inferior officers , and three Marylanders , who claimed hira as their property . Fortunately , his detention was made known by some kind friend to several gentlemen connected with the old Abolition Society , two

      of whom , being Quakers , immediately went to the court-room and obtained an entrance . They urged upon the judge the defenceless condition of the poor black , and asked for a postponement of the case until the next morning , forthe purpose of providing counsel , testimony , & c . The judge , though he expressed himself very severely against the abolitionists , _agreed to this reasonable request , and the case was accordingly postponed , ' much tothe disappointment of the claimants . On the following morning tbe parties appeared under different circumstances . * .,

      _« David . Paul Brown and Charles Gibbons , Esqrs ,, two of the best lawyers in Philadelphia , freely ten . dered their services as counsel for the negro , while some twent y of our most respectable Quaker citizens , mostly members , of the old Abolition Society , ( of which you will remember Benjamin Franklin was ' the first president ) , appeared and took their seats within the bar of the court , to see that justice was done . The grave and dignified deportment of these gentlemen gave a tone to the proceedings which made the occasion serious and imposing . The lawyers contested every inch of ground in the most ingenious and masterly manner . They showed glaring informality in the affidavit upon which the arrest was made , and scanned the evidence of the identity of the man with critical acumen , until the case was

      made to appear as lame and defective , The Marylanders now begged for time to make out a clearer case , which the court refused , on the (• . round that they had had time enough , and moreover none of the gaols of tbe State could receive the man , thus rendering the marshal liable for bis safe keepi ng , a responsibility which he was not Willing to take . The man was accordingly discharged . During the trial an immense crowd of coloured persons had assembled outside of the building ( which , by the bye , was the same from which the declaration of independence had issued ) , and had become deeply excited , though they had remained quiet . The good news was announced to them by the waving of a white handkerchief from Ihe window , upon which signal they set up a shout which was tremendous . '

      A party of thirteen fugitive slaves passed through Tamaqna , Schuylkill county , on the 18 th of . October en route for Canada . The next day they were followed by two individuals , who , engaging the assistance of a constable , followed on in their pursuit .

      France. The Rupture Between The Presiden...

      The pursuers succeeded in overtaking the slaves at _Wilksbarre ; but , owing to the strong expression or feeling manifested by the people in their favour , they were forced to beat a hasty retreat . The constable was induced to follow them , under the impression , that they were horse thieyeB ,. buton learning _' other wise ha refused to render any further cooperation . ¦ ' - _- '; J" "' - 7 uo deplorable a contingency as thejoss of life , whether in support '" or in resistance of this would exceedingly tend to increase the determined prejudices of , those who seek the repeal of the law ; while at the same time it cannot be doubted tha the South , for whose protection it was framed , wm use every exertion to retain what was so grudgingly conceded to it . The opinion o'f the Attorney-General was sought by the President regarding its _constitutionality previous to giving his signature to | he

      bid . In a somewhat lengthy report from ; that officer , dated ' the 18 th . of September , he gives a reply in the affirmative , which , though , ostensibly addressed to the source whence the question emanated , has the appearance , from being now published , of having been also intended to allay the fears and set aside the objections of those who might contend that its enforcement suspends the right of habeas corpus . This he explicitly denies , and as explicitly asserts that , upon the arrest of _., > fugitive slave , should doubt exist as to his true character and con- ; dition , a habeas corpus may issue while the facts of the case are under investigation . That the law was _carelessiy framed and hastily passed is too evident ; but , whatever appearance '' may exist of its virtually suspending the great privilege in question , the decision of the Attorney-General , that it cannot

      be so construed , will undoubtedly relieve the fears of many who bring , forward no other argument againBt it . : i _TAccounts from San Francisco are to the 15 th ult . Financial , matters appear to have been left in anything but a satisfactory state , and commercial confidence had been much impared by the doubtful position of several houses , who bad assigned their property for the benefit of their creditors . In some instances it was asserted , and supposed , that all liabilities would be satisfied , but experience has , at all events , shown in other part * of the world that such hopes are rarely realized in the extent to which they are indulged . [

      . A monetary crisis had commenced , and was still going en when the steamer left ¦ but the banking-houses are said to have sustained with great firmness' a run which was made upon them by de : _positorsj with the exception of that of j J ; _- _* H . _Nagtee , who stopped payment . This pressure on the money-market , and the un . settled state of business generally , are attributed to heavy losses arising from the three conflagrations that so rapidly succeeded each other , and occasioned such destruction of property . Many of the real losers by these fires , however , will be _foundlfar distant from the scene of their occurrence , and many adventurers on both sides of the Atlantic will have to regret the equally fatal result of their well or illselected shipments to the Pacific , f '

      i No trifling cause Of embarrassment arid loss will be found in the gambling mariner in which most land speculations have been thiiB far carried forward . Nor is the present crisis by any means the last which the settlers in or traders to that distant region will have to go through before they can settle down into anything like the : order that is found so requisite to . the : attainment of permanent success among the trading communities of older countries .

      Inthe meanwhile the exertions of the goldseeker 6 generally continue to be well repaid , and the clearance-outward of that article at the Custom-house during the six weeks preceding . the 13 th ult . amounted lo 5 , 112 , 880 dollars , being far greater than during any similar period since the discovery of the mining region . Nor does this include the considerable _, sums personally taken' away by their owners without tbe formality of placing them on the manifests of the vessels in which they took

      passage . Among other recorded instances of success , it is related that a party who had formed a dam on the Yuba , had , during the first day and a-half , and with the use of one quicksilver machine , produced eighty pounds' weight of gold . Another party bad extracked 2 , 500 dollars worth of the same metal from lOOlbs . of quartz ; and it is fair to suppose , that while such results attend the labour of only a few among the many * adventurers , there will be a continued stream of emigration to so promising a land . Nearly all the Peruvians , or , as they are generally known , Chilians , haye left the counfry for their old homes . The proscriptive course pursued against foreigners , many of tbem innocent and worthy persons , has compelled them to leave a land which has

      proved anything but a hospitable one to them . Fearful that many of their subjects would be destitute of means to return , the Peruvian government instructed their consul to pay the passages of all those who were unable to do so from tbeir own resources . Captain Robine ' tt has accordingly expended upward of 15 , 000 dollars in passage money , and he expresses the opinion that there are not more tban twenty Chilians or Peruvians in the country . ; ; All who have left entertain the most hostile feelings against Americans , and those of our countrymen who are thrown in their way will have reason , we fear , to learn that they are a revengeful people , and do not forget injuries . The Peruvian government are _highly indignant al the treatment their subjects have received , and will unquestionably represent their grievances at Washington .

      A system of national ' education , by common schools , as in Pennsylvania , is now under agitation at San Francisco , and , with legislative aid , will soon becarried into effect . The accounts from Oregon present a flattering description of the spirit of improvement and progress which generally prevails . Governor Gaines waa received on his arrival with every manifestation of respect and hospitality . A general Indian war is ' anticipated in Texas . The depredations by the Indians hear Saliva are extensive . Two daughters of a German were taken off by them .

      We learn from Cincinnati that on the 21 st ult ; an officer from Glasgow , Scotland , arrested a person who some short time since absconded from one of the Glasgow banks ; 1 , 400 dollars were : recovered , and he was discharged from . custody . A citizen of New York holds a hundred acres of excellent land situated in the vicinity of New York , at the disposition of Kossuth , provided he should come lo this country and will-accept the present .

      CANADA . A Montreal correspondent writes as follows , under date Oct . 21 :- — 1 The great event and all-absorbing topic in Canada , since my last letter , has been the Provincial Industrial Exhibition' that has been held , preparatory to that which is to take place in London next year , Preparations for this exhibition had been for months going on , and it is of more than ordinary importance to this . province . .. _- ¦ ¦* The articles exhibited are laid out in two immense halls , over tbe Borisecour ' s market . Each of these balls is several hundred feet long by about one hundred feet broad . They are tastefully decorated , and the exhibition tastefully laid out . Immense crowds of people daily rush to see the show . I believe tbat in one day 15 , 000 tickets were sold .

      The Devil's Footmarks.—A Singular Phenom...

      The Devil ' s Footmarks . —A singular phenomenon has for some time existed in tho parish of Eowley Regis , which has not onl y given rise to the most absurd rumours , but has been a source of wonder , and still remains an inexplicable puzzle to all the cunning men and philosophers of the locality . More than five years ago , in a small meadow occupied by Messrs . Mills and Co ., at the Eagle Colliery , and through which is a footpath to the house of Mr . John G . _Uiggs , the check bailiff at the wharf , ono morning were discovered a number of marks across the greensward , from tbe path to the boundary fence and back again , in a triangular form . These marks were nearly in the form of an immense mis-shapen human foot , and not only -was every trace of vegetation destroyed , but the very turf appeared as if scorched by a red-hot iron . Numbers of people were attracted to the spot daily , ' and as the report spread , it was visited by

      thousands , and damago to a considerable amount was done , particularly on Sundays . The affair went on , and after the lapso ofa year or two , a strong thorn fence was placed around , in expectation that , of course , grass would again grow on the spots , whero tho common . belief now is that his Infernal Majesty for some purpose unknown to mortals , had imprinted the Marks of his feet , but aU has been to no purpose ; not a single blade of any description of vegetation has ever yet appeared on the enchanted spots and though the fence has been since removed _, and the held regularl y mown , the baneful influence still remains ; and there the deep indented marks are , hard , dry , and barren as at first , a memorial of some mysterious agency ; but what it was no human ingenuity has yet discovered . A gentleman residing near has affirmed , he would gladly givo half his fortune to have this disagreeable mystery satisfactorily 6 XViawd , -Birmingh < m Journal .
