Alliday , 209 High-street , Cheltenham , dated January 22 nd , 1850 . Sib , —My eldest son , when about three years of age , was afflicted with a glandular swelling in the neck , which after a short time-broke out into an ulcer . An eminent medical man pronounced it as a very bad case of scrofula , and prescribed for a considerable time without effect ; The disease then for years went or gradually increasing in virulence , when besides the ulcer in the neck , another formed below the left knee , aud a third under the oye , besides seven others on the left arm , with a tumour between tho eyes which was expected to break . During the whole oi the time my suffering boy had received the constant advice of the most celebrated medical gentlemen at Cheltenham , besides being for several months at the General Hospital

      FRANCE . The journey , of the President , and review of the fleet at Cherbonrg , occupy the Preach journals aimost to" tbe exclusion of all other news . It is ttated that Ms reception by the people ' at Urge few been exceedingly cold , though , as asnaj ; the aatholities along the whole line of iwrte hiye done then liest to gi » e his journey a festive and popular aspect . At Caen after receiving ifae local authorities MBapriaparte partook . " of a banquet g iven by the town . The mayor proposed his health in >> cbmplimentarj speech , which was l oudly app lau 3 eo % and the President lied as follows : ¦ : ¦ ¦

      rep , « The reception so kind and so » ytnpatnetie--l might almost say so enthasiastio-wbich I receive infhe west as I did in the east of France , touches meprofonndlv ; bat . I am pot puffed up f > « ndorgueiltopaij with it , and will o ^ y ascrAe o myself the smallest part of it . I & »«• » een so leufflj greeted because I «* COMl ? ered * f re * pSatfre of order and of a better fu we . ( Prolonged bravos . ) . When I yisit jour populatmn , iurrounded by men who ^ ent your esteem and vonr Confidence , iam happy to hear it said , 'The | tf days are passed , antf « expect better . ' ( Ap-Tflause . ) Conse ^ aentlyi when everywhere

      prosperity seems to return , the man would be very cul-Sjle ! whqi would attempt to check its progress by chaBg lng what at present exists , however imperfect dt may ! "be . r So , also , if stormy dajs were to rciora , and the people should desire to impose a new harden oa the chief of the government , that Chief in his turn would be very culpable if be were to desert his high mission . ( General marks of assent . ) But let' . us not anticipate the future , let us now endeavour to regulate the affairs of the country ; let-each of as accomp lish his duty , and God will do the rest ! I propose a toaat ' To the town of Caen !"

      This speech is a very remarkable one in several KBpecta , and has excited a good deal of interest among those who have had the opportunity of reading it . But at ' the moment which I write it is very little known . The correspondent of the ' Morning Chronicle ' from letters received in Paris , speaks of the President's entrance into Cherbourg as a cold one , the prevailing cry being Vive la Bepublique ! ' I hare seen one communication from an English

      gentleman in no way connected with politics , which says , 'For my part , I have been truly surprised at the almost hostile greeting given here to the head Of the state . After the g lowing accounts which I have lately seen in some of the London journals I naturally expected to witness no small amonnt oi enthusiasm ; but , far from any such manifestation of feeling , all appeared to me to tend the other way . ' He was three boon beyond the time appointed , and this may have helped the ill humour .

      The morning after his * arrival a grand levee was held , at which , w addition to the officers of the "French fleet of all ranks and such military officers 88 were stationed in the district , there were presented a number of British naval officers . A number of yachtmea were also presented—the Earl of Cardigan , the Sari of Wilton , the Earl of Orkney , Lord Middleton , Mr . Ackers , the Hods . Captain and D . Pelhani , the Dake of Marlborongh , Earlde Grey , Lord J . Churchill , and a host of others—there being at anchor in the roads of Cherbourg and lying in tbe Bassin dn Commerce no less than sixty British yachts . The business of the levee concluded at eleven , and the general

      review of the troops was to have come off at halfpast , « U » the 9 th and 28 th regiments of the line , about twelve companies of artillery , about the same number of marines , some gendarmes , and the militia of Cherbourg ( some of tbe latter appearing in the ranks with musket and bayonet , but without uniform , ) aud a few mounted gendarmes , who kept the ground and cleared away the crowd when required , Had assembled ; altogether there might possibly nave been 4 , 000 troops present .- There were , perhaps , about 50 , 000 spectators present at the

      renew . The population of Normandy , which is purely agricultural , came into Cherbourg in large parties from all quarters ; they are a peculiar people , unsophisticated and simple minded—a generation behind nearly all other parts of France , with whom the country people hold but little correspondence . The women wear , generally , the tall whitbutterfly cap and lappets , shore waists and short petticoats , and present a picturesque appearance . Themen are more like English farmers than Frenche men , and they drive the same caleche to market that their forefathers did centuries ago .

      On Saturday the grand naval review toook place . The President is said to have been coldly received by the fleet , though their appears to have been no lack of gunpowder , first inspecting the dockyard where be was received with a salute . fie quitted the establishment at half-past twelve , nnderanother salute of the seaward battery , the viceadmiral commanding the fleet received the President onboard the state barge , a very handsome boat , painted white , with scarlet awning and gift decorations , rowed by sixteen oars . The procession of boats then rowed out towards the flag-ship , and , on nearing the guard-ship Bucephale , the first salute was fired from afloat , commenced by this vessel . This was tbe signal for a deafening roar of artillery . The yards of each ship of war had been

      instantaneously manned , bnt not higher than the topsail yards ( the English always man their yards up to royals ) ; the * yaehts that bad yards also manned them , and the others manned their rigging . The most rapid firing was made by the line-of-battle ships ; every gun was fired on both sides to the number of 101 each , and with the most excellent time . The flagship Friedland , in particular , fired with such reguJaxity and celebrity that her massive sides appeared in one sheet of lurid flame . The yachts also that bad guns fired salutes of twenty-one guns , and amid the thunder of the cannon and the roaring cheers of the crews , caught up from ship to ship , and running for many miles , from the break water to the town bridges , and from tbe eastern side to the dockyard shores , the Presidedenfc boarded the Friedland .

      After staying here for three-quarters of an hour tbe Prince proceeded to the breakwater , a mighty and stupendous work ( exceeding in length the breakwater of Plymouth ) , with a battery of heavy guns in the centre . From the breakwater the Prince vuited each line-( jrbattle ship in succession , each ship cheering as he Arrived and quitted—a new feature in the French character , and undoubtedly in imitation of the English . The President must have minutely inspected every one of the fleet , for be did not Quit the last vessel , tbe Minerve , fifty-four gun frigate , until nearly seven o ' clock .

      On leaving the frigate , the President came in through the yachts , and paid a visit to the noble commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron , tbe Earl of Wilton , on board of his splendid schooner the Zarifa , and then went on board the Enehantregs , to pay a visit to the Earl of Cardigan . On leaving these vessels both Lord Wilton and Lord Cardigan manned yards and fired Royal salutes , and as the Prince then passed through the line every yacht ' s crew oh the yards , in the rigging , and on the decks , gave him three cheers .

      The procession now returned to the dockyard , when the lightning flashes of nearly 2 , 000 pieces of ordnance crashed forth with a tremendous roar ; 50 , 000 voices on the yards and decks afloat , and on the wharfs and piers , swelled the gladdening din , and in a moment , the ships and yachts having been stripped of their flaunting colours , reposed in silence . The English yachts , with one or two exceptions , left the next morning at daybreak . At the banquet the President made good ' political capital' out of what bis ancle bad done for Cherbourg . He spoke as follows in . answer to the Mayor , who , in proposing his health , had urged several measures for the improvement of tbe harbour , and the promotion of a railroad .

      The President replied— 'The farther I travel in France the more do I see how much is expected from the government , I do not traverse a single town , department , or even village , without being asked by the Mayor , municipal authorities , or representatives , for the means of communication , canals , railroads , or the completion of public works and enterprise ? , and measures in short which may revive suffering agricultnre , or infuse new spirit into decaying commerce . Nothing can be more natural than the expression of these desires , nor do they fall

      be-Jieve me , upon an inattentive ear , bflt at the same time I should tell you that these results are not to be obtained unless you give me the means of accomplishing them , and it is in your power by your assistance to give me the means of strengthening the authority of the exeoutite , and warding off danger from the future . How is it that in spite of war the Emperor was enabled to cover France with these imperishable works which we meet with at every step , but nowhere in such wonderful force as here ? It ii because , independentlyof bis geniaj , he lived io ga age when the nation , harrasied by revolutions ,

V ^ P ^«^ - « wn ^ conservative b > tbe appreciation of the true interest * of tbe country . Is not this port , created by gigantic efforts , a striking testimonial of French unity , fostered in the teeth of revolutions ; unity which has made us a great nation ? But we must not forget that a great nation maintains its position only so long as its institutions are in accord with the exigencies of its internal condition , and its material interests . The people of Normandy know how to

      appreciate this truism , they have given me a proof of it , and it ig with pride , therefore , that I propose a toast to the town of Cherbourg . I propose this toast in presence of the sea , which we have learned to tame ; in presence of that fleet which has carried the French flag so nobly through the West , and which is ready to bear it whenever the national honour requires . The presence of our numerous English guests here to-day shows that if we desire peace it is not from motives of weakness —( loud applause , in which the English joined )—but from a feeling of that community of interests and mutual esteem , which keeps the' two most civilised nations closely bound to each other . Let me propose a toast to the town of Cherbourg . '

      The President spent all Sunday on board tbe fleet , and on Monday left Cherbourg for St . Lo , on his way toBordeaux . ¦ There is a great deal of discussion in the papers with respect to the constitution . Supposing that the Assembly should decide , by the majority required by law , that a revision ought to be effected , must the Assembly at once dissolve itself , or must it continue to sit nntil the 28 th May , 1852 , the day on which its powers legally expire—or must it adjourn for a few months to enable a new constituent assembly to effect the revision of the constitution ? Again—suppose that the President of the Republic should ; as the constitution requires , retire

      the second Sunday in May , 1852 , and be succeeded by another President duly elected on that daywhat would be the position of this great functionary in tbe event of the new constituent assembly deciding that there should be no President at all—or tbatM . Bonaparte should remain President ? All these questions and many more of the like kind , are discussed , with the elaborate prolixity with which a nisi prius lawyer would argue them before a judge ; but in truth nothing could possibly be more idle , for who supposes for a noment that the President , or the Assembly , or the different political parties will , in 1852 , allow themselves to be . fettered by nice technical interpretations of the written law ? "

      According to one of tbe journals , tbe Bonapartist Socie e due Dix Decembre has enrolled upwards of 96 , 000 members , and has a fund of nearly £ 25 , 000 , there can be no doubt ; but this famous society , whatever its numbers of pecuniary resources may be , excites not a little fear in the public mind , for it is known that its chiefs are a set of reckless adventures , and its adherents , for the most part , complete desperadoes , fellows who are not unwilling to handle the musket and throw up . ' the barricade ; it is known too , or at least confidently asserted , that it has abundant stores of arms and ammunition in biding . Of its object no secret is made ; it is that

      of securing power for life to M . Bonaparte , and , if possible , of making him emperor . It was reported , that this society bad intended to effect sort of a coup ( Ttatat Lyons on the President ' s recent viait ; but the chilling attitude of the . ' populations on his route rendered it impossible : on his return the Societe not only got up a Bonapartist demonstration , but , i t is generally asserted , seriously proposed at one moment to take the President to the Tuileries ; how it is said , that the society intends to make bis arrival from Cherbourg the signal for an outbreak , which it thinks will enable him to possess himse If of supreme power . ' " ' :

      Forty-four departments have expressed a wish for the revision of the constittion , viz ., Ain , Aisue , Bassel , Alpes , Ardeche . Ariege , Aube , Oude , Aveyron , Calvados , Char ente , Charente , Inferieure , Cher , Correze , Corse , Cote d ' or , Creuse , Dordogne , Doubt , Drome . Eure , Gers , Indre et Loire , Landel , Loir et Cher , Lox , Main et Loire , Marne , Marne ( haute , ) Mayenne , Meurthe , Nord , Oise , Pas de Calais ; Pyrenees ( basses , ) Pyrenees ( hautes , ) Pyrenees Orintales , Haute Soane , Seine Inferieure , Seine it Marne >

      Seme Loire , Deux Sevrel , Haute Yienne . Seven departments have rejected motions for a revision , viz' , Herault , Mte . Loire , Morbihau , Orne , Haut Rhin , Tarn , Vendee . Ei ght have not discussed the question at all , viz ., Oilier , Hautes Alhes , Finisterre Loire , Saone et Loire , Somme , Par , and Fosgel The votes of the other departments are not known . Of the batch which have voted for the revision , the greater part , it must be remembered , have done so subject to the proviso that it shall be effected constitutionally . '

      In tbe council-general of the department of the Nord , the discussion on the vote in favour of the revision of the Constitution was very violent , and , when at last the vote was carried without any republican qualification , M . Testelin , a representative of the people , rose in a state of great exasperation , and , shaking bis fist at the majority , cried , ' You have no right to vote as you have done ; you are only mocking the Republic . Bnt that must be stopped , or you will have ies coups de fusil ! ' M . Brame observed that they did ^ ot fear coups de fitsils . 'We shall see ! ' shouted M . Testelin . 'When you please ! ' answered M . Brame . The energetic intervention of the President put an end to the debate .

      T _ * i : ' ' 1 a * it ' a a * . k In its resolution respecting the revision of the Constitution , the Council-General of the Puy de Some , sitting at Cleamont Ferrand , adds , that in the event of public order being disturbed , the National Assembly should consider itself invested with full powers , including the right to revise the Constitution . ' , The CoDDcils-General of tbe Lot-et-Garonne and of Fiaisterre separated without having adopted any resolution on tbe subject of the revision of the Constitution , or presenting any proposition . That of the Jura rejected a proposition to that effect .

      On dit that M . Guizot intends to offer himself as a candidate for the department of the Calvados in the event of one of the present members resigning , as is expected . M . Guziut is very reserved in expressing his opinionson political affairs ; arid it is remarked in political circles that no one can say positively whether , he is in favour of the restoration of legitimate monarchy with a constitution , or of seeing the Orleans family identify themselves with the revolution , as William of Orange did with the revolution of England . The latter , however , is considered the more probable of the two . That , at all events , M . Guziot has no very great faith in Louis Buonaparte is quite certain ; indeed he only looks upon him as a temporary pis-aller . But perhaps this may arise in some degree from his old-standing hostility to M . Tbiers , who , at , presenti and for the present , is inclined to support the President .

      . ~ It is asserted that the most interprising portion of the Orleanist party really entertains a rather serious intention of bringing forward the Prince de . Joinville as a candidate at the next presidental election . It is also asserted that Girardin , of tbe ' Press , . has made a formal offer to the Prince to bring forward the candidateship at once in that journal . M . de Girardin , it will be remembered , some time ago proposed tbe Prince as tbe next president . A short time ago it was announced that M . Avril , ex-representative of the Isere , and one of the

      condemned by tbe high court of justice , had given himself into custody , and had been conducted from brigade to brigade to the Conciergerie at ; Paris . It was also stated that in several localities he had levied contributions on th . e democratic party ) which caused him to be coolly received by his companions in captivity at the Conciergerie . Yesterday one of the representatives of the Isere went to see him , and found that he was not M . Avril , but some person who bad audaciously assumed bis name . The police do not know who the : man really is , nor bis reason for this strange imposture .

      Three elections took p l ace on Monday in the 10 th Legion of the National Guard of Paris . The three Moderate candidates were elected—one by 152 votes against eighty-four , given to his Socialist competitor ; the second by thirty-nine votes to twentyeight ; and the third by sixty-seven to eleven . Serious riots have occurred in the Drome , On the 4 th iost ., at Clionselet , in the canton of Loriol , and department of the Drome , the generate ms beaten for the rescue of some prisoners . A mob snatched one from the gendarmerie at Alirmande , and several communes seemed disposed to favour an insurrectional movement . Telegraphic despatches from Valance of Wednesday evening , announce , that the insurgents were dispirited at the appreacb of the troop ' s .

      DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . The correspondent of the 'jTKaily ; News' says : — The position of the hostile armies remains unaltered , nor has any mevement of importance taken places The Danish' ; Commander-in-Chief does not . appear inclined to throw forward his left wing again , since the accounts which have been ; brought in confirm the previous statement that a portion of it has even crossed the Schlei at Misunde , acd now lies en . camped at Brodersby . '' .-. ;

      The cruelty and oppression with which tbe Daneare punishing that portion , of Schleswig in their possession , for its German tendencies , cannot be too often represented in its true light . Both the civil and military authorities seem daily to increase the rigour of their repressive measures , and if they ; are allowed to pursue their present line of conduct Schleswig must soon become : a wilderness . From every town in the duchy those families , the heads of which are known to be hostile to the Copenhagen mob , are literally rooted out of their houses . The names of the females , old and young , and of their children , are inscribed in long lists , to which is appended an order from the civil or military ofiiciallin

      the neighbourhood to quit' their , homes within twenty ; hours or loBger , &s the ease may h § . , No time is allowed them to sell any property they may possess , nor are they permitted to carry their moveables , beyond clothes with them . Forced passports are provided them , and with a military escort they are hurried to Flensburg and there- shipped for Copenhagen in whatever vessel may be at tiatuji ! . At Copenhagen they are shown to the mob for a few hours , and then permitted to leave for Germany via Wi 8 tnar , in Mecklenburg . Within one week , sixtyone persons , mothers with their families , were thus transported from the small town on the west coast , from llusum . Still less consideration is shown to

      the men : they are seized without any notice , and after being examined by the' Cossack police which has 'been organised are bundled off , sometimes handcaffed two and two , to Copenhagen , where they are also exhibited to the sight-loving mob , and who fail to treat them with that respect which even the wild redskin shows to his captive . Nearly every German inhabitant of Flensburg has been forced to quit the town in this or some other milder way . The ladies of Schleswig , who , in the exercise of the kindlier virtues of the gentler sex , had undertaken the care and nursing of the wounded' lying . in Schloss , Gpttorf , in Schleswig , no matter whether Schleswig-Holsteiner or 'Dane , have been in many

      instances brutally insulted by the men on duty in the place , and with a refinement of cruelty which is really incredible , the Danish authorities have hit upon a scheme for depriving their wounded prisoners altogether of the Schleswig ladies . So long as these visits were paid to the bedsides of the wounded Danes as well as Schleswig-Holsteiners ; it was hardly possible to prevent them ; but in order to do so , the Danish wounded hare been carried to Flensburg , and the ladies are no longer permitted to enter the Schloss . The graves in the Schleswig churchyards of those warriors who fell during tbe former campaigns are wantonly -desecrated and destroyed , the tombstones being torn up and broken in pieces , and the inscriptions defaced . A fixed contribution of four thousand pounds has been levied in the town of Schleswig . A few days ago

      one of the ' schoolmasters of Apenrode died , and being much respected in the village and beloved by his pupils , his funeral was honoured by the presence of many of the inhabitants and by the classes of both sexes , whom during life it had been his p leasure to instruct . The Danish burgomaster of the town having been informed of this affecting testimony to departed worth , and the deceased having unhappily been but in the free corps in 1848 , the parties who bad attended the ceremony were soon made to learn that Danish natives cannot permit even SO slight an honour to an honourable foe . They were summoned before Burgermeister Knudsen , insulted , bullied , and imprisoned for twenty-four hours , and the children who had attended the funeral were expelled from the school , whilst tbe wreaths and flowers with which they had decorated the grave of their deceased teacher were broken and torn to pieces .

      The prolonged inactivity of the troops was partially interrupted on the 5 th by a movement which it was hoped would lead . to an engagement on the left wing , and , if successful , to tbe evacuation of Friedrichstadt by the Danes ; Several battalions had been forwarded to Understapel by steamers on the Eider , and several detachments , too , of riflemen , lying between Rendsburg and Luderstapel , bad been advanced to the latter place during the night . The intentions of Von der Tann , to whom the command of the expedition was confided , were primarily an extensive reconnoitering of the whole right wing of the Danish' army for the purposes of ascertaining their real numbers and positions , and

      if interrupted by the enemy in his operations , to engage him with all the forces at his disposal . The country for miles in the direction of Friedrichstadt is one series of turfy marsb , intersected by dykes and ditches , affording in summer plentiful forage of the best kind for the cattle , besides restingplaces for counties flocks of plovers , ducks , snipes , end other wild fowl . So swampy and marshy is the whole district , that to leave the dykes whicf ' intersect it in all directions would be followed in most cases by instantaneous emersion into a soft black mass—semi-fluid in'summer , and in winter one sheet of ice . The 'dykes . ; of which there are thousands , were first erected by a colony of Dutchmen brought from . Holland for the purpose many years ago . The originals of these colonists ,

      who have-here exercised the art which alone , preserves the greater part of . their own country from total ruin , ; have long since disappeared . There still remain many traces of their existence , exclusive of their labours in themarsbes . The twelve or fourteen miles between Erfde and Understapel were soon passed .. In the latter place , the artillery and infantry ' sent , in the day before were bivouacked . They were at once put in motion , and with the riflemen lying . about , ordered to follow as rapidly as possible . Towards Friedrichstadt ,, patrols were at the same time sent out in all directions . Another gallop of half an hour through Seeth brought the town of Friedrichstadt distinctly into view . Col . Tann approached the town from the eastward , and advanced with bis staff to within two thousand

      yards of the town . Here he was met by an officer with tbe information that the enemy had erected a strong fieldwork in the curve of the road , about a hundred or two hundred yards behind the-turnpike house , which , with the detachment of Danish riflemen ' occupying , was of course clearly visible from the spot where ' Colonel Tann stood . Two or . three riflemen , who had been ordered to advance with Colonel Tann , were then , sent forward to within 600 yards of the turnpike house . Here they halted and opened fire upon the Danes , who were not slow in returning it . This . petty

      warfare continued without loss on either side for half an hour , and without inducing the Danes to sally out and repel them , or capture the few men within sight . The Danes knew full well the / great value to them of Friedrichstadt . . . Ii gives them the command of one of the richest . districts ; in Schleswig , which they can forage and plunder as they please , and they are not likely to leave their strong position in order to engage in a conflict which might- end in- their being forced to retreat towards the north . Colonel Tann tried to induce a hostile meeting on other grounds but failed . ' ... - '' ... ' , ' " ' ..

      ITALY . PIEDMONT ! —The official Gazette' says there is no truth in the ; siaternent , of a journal to the effect that ' General Lamarmora had declared to' a French minister that ' the government ; would make concessions to maintain friendly relations with Rome . The Lazari 8 t missionaries who bad been expelled from Parma , by order of ttie Duke , arrived -at Alessandria on the 26 th ult ., on their way to their different ^ conven ts . The cause of their expulsion was not known , but it was said by some persons to consist in their liberalism , ' . , NAPLES . —The King of Naples and his army occupied the towns of Subiaco , yelletin , and Albanb in the Roman territory , during the combined , war of the despots against the Republic , in [ which ' they were basely aided by the French" government . ¦

      His Mftjesty has left ah impression by rip means favourable as to his generosity , and'tbe troops a still more : unfavourable one as to their' discipline . At AlbanoBome " most ; ludicrous scenes took-place ; in which it was evident ' that personal safety waa paramount to all cbiisiderations . At present all towns , with the exception of AlbanoJ are occupied by the Roman troops , the > latter ; by the Frencbj whose de cipline and good conduct is not denied by the inhabitants , ' although they refuse to' have any familiarity with them , repeating the old story , that they have destroyed their Republic and ' restored the government of the priests . , . .

      On the anniversary of the Emperbr . of Austria's birthday in Rome , it . was imagined by the Roman and French police that a demonstration would be made in favour of Austria and the promised constitution for the Lombards and Venetians . Great military preparations were made by the French , iand a large body of Roman sbirri and spies prowled about the streets , but it all ended in smoke . The people attended'to their usual occupations , 'and absented themselves from tbe Church del Anima , where . the TeDeum was sung .

      • • SPAIN . Madrid , Sep . 1 . —The capture and death of the Centrali 8 ta chief , Baliarao ,, who for more than three months past had kept in continual movement the whole of the troops of that province is announced . He was concealed in bis mother's house in the village of St . Andres dePaiomar ; where the volunteers of Catalonia , who Had been for many days in pursuit of him , overtook him . They attacked resolutely the place of his refuge , where his brother and some of his partizans also weire , andafter an obstinate de . fence , during which two of thei , volunteers were killed , succeeded in entering the house , whenlhey immediately put him and his companions : to death , and severely wounded his brother , who , however , had the good fortune to make his escape . There is not now a single insurgent in arms in Catalonia ,

      The elections have turned but even less favourably to the Progresista party than was expected '; notwithstanding that-that party was aware _ of the small number of votes it would . obtain in this province , and probably throughout the country . The majority of the votes in favour of the Moderados is enormous , and out of Ml proportion as between party and party ; it is almost unanimous ;

      MALTA AND THE LEVANT . The Canstantinople journals have nothing of interest . Those of ; Athens contain the royal decree constituting the Queen regent of the kingdom during the King's absence ; also , a decree , of the 22 nd , signed by . the Queen as regent , directing a Te Deum and religious services to be celebrated throughout the country on the occasion of the . Patriarch of Constantinople having acknowledged the independence of the Greek cburcb .. At Cairo the Viceroy was so alarmed by the cholera that he was continually changing his residence , and had a steamer waiting ' , with her steam continually up , to carry him away altogether if ne . ce 88 ary . : .

      FRENCH WEST INDIES . Letters from Guadeloupe to the 10 th say that up to that date tranquillity had not been disturbed , but that a plot for substituting the Mulattos for the white race , if necessary by violent means , had been discovered , and that a mass of letters . and documents compromising numerous persons bad been received . At Martinique also it was tranquil . The newspaper , ' La Liberte / had however been twice seized .

      UNITED STATES . Six days later intelligence has been received . The principal item of political intelligence is an account of a revolution in Ecuador , in which the General Elzaldi was obliged to retreat , the insurgents having overpowered him . ' The General took refuge on board a British man-of-war at Guayaquil , but afterwards landed and headed a small force against the insurgents . The result has not yet been received . ; , ' . ¦ :.: Professor Webster , who murdered Dr . Parkham , was executed on the 30 th ult . 1 : A destructive fire ; had-broken out at Montreal , and destroyed 500 , 000 do ) s . of property . ¦

      We have news from Mexico to the 13 th ult . After 100 days' duration , and . 18 , 000 deaths in the city alone , the cholera had disappeared . The Congress was installed on the 8 th . The President recommended prompt measures to provide for'the trfeasury . The Mexican mines have proved ^ xceedingly prolific . ! i-i ' In commercial news we have ; the same activity in business to ' . report as on the arrival . of the Pacific . Trade throug hout the United States was in a prosperous state , and promised to continue . 80 .

      ¦ v The proceedings in the Congress of . the United States have been very interesting . The Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation Bill has passed the house by a vote of 130 to 62 . The Fugitive Slave-Bill has passed the Senate also , arid will be carried through the House of Representatives , probably , immediately . On the , whole , we . may anticipate ^ a general and satisfactory settlement of all difficulties arising from the slavery question , though we must be equally well prepared for no little agitation , and . many scenes of excitement . Several local or state elections are how going on , .. but there is no very extraordinary action on these occasions , which shows ( hat the people apprehend no serious fears of any danger to ilie union . It is likely the present stormy and protracted session of Congress will terminate in an agreeable and desirable calm . ' :. '

      A series of outrages and murders have been , recently committed in Philadelphia . The municipal wovernment of this city is divided into the City Proper , Southwark , Moyaraensing , ' the Northern Liberties , Spring Garden , &c .: One conaequerice of this arrangement is , that tbe police of the ' eity , or of any one . of tbe boroughs , dare not act in any other district than their own , The villains who are guilty of riotous crimes : therefore go from one district into another , laugh at the police , and set them at defiance . Within two months all the districts will be

      consolidated under one government for- police purposes . A few nights ago four men set upon a jeweller , a Mr . Charles Burd , stabbed him to the heart , and robbed him of a box of jewellery , his watch , and money ; and all this in a crowded strett , as early as eight o ' clock in the evening . / Several citizens saw the affair , but thought it was merely an affray of ruffianly gangs , and that if they interfered they might be shot or stabbed . Less than

      fortyeight hours before this fatal deed , a youth named ArmitBge WR ? shot dead by assassins near , the same place ; and a few nights before that again * 'Mr , Stousholtz was shot dead by a gang of ruffiih * , to whom he had given no provocation . Within the same brief period there have been about six attempts at assassination against police officers and others , chiefly in the lower districts , where scarcely a night passes without attempts at incendiarism being made , many of which are destructively successful .
