THE AMERICANS IN PARIS. (From Galignani's Messenger.) A most important meeting of American citizens took place on Wednesday, at noon, in the great hall of the Hotel du Louvre, very nearly 200 persons being present. On entering the room one could have imagined that the reunion was for a purely festive purpose, .as three tables loaded with plate cat-glass, flowers, and other objects recreative to' the eye, ran down the whole length of the immense room. The intention was to breakfast pleasantly first, and then to express sentiments and pass reso -lutions on the secession which has so unfortunately arisen in the United States. At the end of the room floated the Freneh flag over a bust of the Enspe_ rer, and on either side that of the United States, displaying its well-known Stars and Stripes. When all the company were seated, as a great num ber of young and elegantly dressed women were pre sent, the coup-d'ceil was most striking. An excel lent breakfast having been duly honoured, Dr. T. W. EVANS rose and proposed that the office of President of the day should be filled by Mr. E. C. Cowdin, of New York. The motion having been passed by acclamation, Mr. COWDIN took the chair, and after the ap plause which greeted his appearance had subsided rose and said :—Fellow-countrymen, ladies, and gentlemen,—Let me thank you most heartily for the honour you have done me in calling upon me to preside on this occasion. Forgetting all consi derations of interest, of party, and of section, we meet as Americans, citizens of the United States, desiring no higher appellation. Granting, as I must, that the time for speech-making has passed and the time for action has come, it is well, never theless, that we have met together to-day to listen to words of wisdom from our illustrious country men, to whom, in your name, I bid a cordial wel come. (Applause.) This large and distinguished assemblage, here in this great capital, far from our native land, is a happy augury of the deep in terest entertained by all, in sustaining the Govern ment in its determination to maintain the consti tution, the laws, and the liberties of our com mon country. Our national union, the result of the world's progress,. was not formed for ourselves alone, but for the whole family of man. He, there fore, who by word or deed does aught towards de stroying that union is not only a traitor to his country, but an enemy to his race. (Cheers.) The Carthaginian general brought his child to the altar to take an oath of ceaseless vengeance against the enemies of his country. Be ours a higher, a nobler, a holier duty—to declare our undying attachment to the great principles of liberty and justice upon which our Government was founded, and if need be, in the spirit of our fathers, to pledge onr lives, our fortunes, and our seared honour to uphold and de fend them. (Cheers.) It was a remark of the illus trious Washington (whose very grave is desecrated) " that the value of liberty was enhanced in our estimation by the difficulty of its attainment ; and the worth of character appreciated by the trial of adversity." So will it ever be ; and when this con flict is over, the Union will stand forth purged and purified, the wonder and admiration of the world. (Applause.) Nay more, the great characters which the exigencies will call forth are destined to be re corded upon the pages of history as among the brightest heroes of the 19th century. (Hear.) The struggle we have entered upon is a momentous one The rebels are bold, daring, desperate ; deter mined to rule or ruin, deeming with Satin that it is _ t' Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven." But, my countrymen, be not dismayed. Relying upon the justice of our cause, the unanimity of the people, and the protection of a righteous God, we have nothing to fear. (Applause.) Traitors have inaugurated war to establish tyranny, and can we shrink from it in defence of liberty ? They have sown the wind—they shall reap the whirlwind. Whatever is necessary, either of money or of men, is at our commas d ; 20,000,000 of people are aroused in behalf of this sacred cause—the protection of our common parent—our beloved country, at whose very vitals treason is aiming its deadly thrusts. Already the decree has gone forth, " Let Freedom's blow, as it must be terrible, be therefore quick, hard, decisive." Let there be no cessation of war ;no halting at the Capitol, nor at Richmond, nor at Charleston, nor at Montgomery, nor anywhere, until Freedom's troops shall have replanted Free dom's Stars and Stripes on every arsenal and every fort and every edifice from which a sacrilegi ous and infuriated mob has hauled them down. (Hear, hear.) In such a struggle there may be danger; but, on the one hand, there is danger ac companied with lasting honour and inevitable suc cess, and, on the other, there is danger with indelible shame and utter destruction. It is said that Lord Byron, when a boy, prevented his comrades from demolishing his schoolroom by showing them their fathers' names on the walls. Shall we be less wise, less grateful than schoolboys ? Shall we hesi tate to preserve and defend the Temple of Freedom, reared by our fathers, upon the walls of which are inscribed the names of Washington and Adams, Jefferson and Hamilton, Madison and Gay, Henry and Otis, Pinckney and Hamilton. (Loud cheers.) Permanently dissolve our National Union ! Replace the banner of freedom with the black flag of piracy ! Break up our Federal Government ! Trample under foot the countless blessings which our fathers pur chased for us at so dear a rate and with so much im- mortal honour and glory ! It cannot, it must not, shall not Fe ! Let all loyal citizens, wherever found, join hand and heart in the solemn pledge to uphold and defend the flag of our Union now and for ever. Let there be no faltering in our ranks—no swerving from duty, no compromise of principle. Thus shall we speedily resume our onward march of true glory—the glory of knowledge and wisdom of truth and justice, of union and liberty. (Enthu siastic applause.) Major SUITED., of California, proposed that the following gentlemen should be named as Vice- Presidents :—Messrs. John J. Ridgeway, Francis Warden, Woodbury Langdon, Dr. Thomas William Evans, W. K. Strong, James W. Tucker, George B. English, Henry Woods, G eorge R. Russell, F. A. Lovering, W. C. Emmett, James H D em i ng, A. K. P. Cooper, B. G. Wainwright, and Edward Brooks. Also that Messrs. T. Wallis Evans and Auguste Depreyster should be requested to act as secretaries. These nominations were acceded to unanimously. Mr. TUCKER, on behalf of the Committee of Ar rangement, proposed the following resolutions :- 6 , Whereas, in the year of our Lord 1787, the people of the United States,' after having secured their independence by a long and bloody war, did ordain and establish the Constitution of the United States in order to form a more perfect Union, to establish justice, to promote general wel fare, and t ) secure the blessings of liberty' to themselves and to their children ; and " Whereas the people of the several States, in adopting said Constitution, made it, and the laws of Congress enacted in pursuance of it, the supreme law of the land and thereby transferred the essential powers of sovereignty from the States to the general Government ; and " Whereas numerous States have since been admitted into the Union by Act of Congress, and have thus received all the State authority which they possess from the general Government ; and " Whereas, for a period of nearly 75 years, the people of all the States and the State Governments themselves have enjoyed peace, prosperity, and the undisturbed exercise of all personal and civil rights, at home and abroad, under the protection of the Government of the United States, which is not even charged by its enemies with ever having enacted laws in violation of the Constitution or of the rights of any State or citizen ; and " Whereas a number of persons in several of the States have conspired to overthrow this benign Constitution, and have succeeded in exciting rebellion and plunging the said States into a revolution against the Government, without, however, submitting their so .called acts of secession to the vote of the people of their own States ; and " Whereas the Government of the United States, in the exercise of its rightful authority, has declared its purpose to maintain the supremacy of the Constitution, and to vindi cate the laws, and has called upon the people to support it in so doing; " Therefore,— " Resolved, —That in the maintenance of the Govern mcnt and Union, as hand e d d own by our fathers, one and indissoluble, arc involved net merely the fate of the Ameri can people, in the South as well a s i n t h e North, but also the hopes of freedom, progress, an d C hristian civilisation throughout the world. " Rtsoired,—That the Government and People of the United states would be false to the highest political trust ever placed by Almighty God in human hand s were they to allow the " powerful and perpetual Union ; ' which the Con stitution was ordained to establish, to be degraded into a mere voluntary society 91' States, which would be nothing but an organised anarchy, the sure precursor of a military despotism. " Resolved,—That the declaration of the American Go vernment, that it has not, does not, and will not enrirtain the least idea of suffering a dissolution of the Union to take place in any way whatever,' deserves the cordial approval of all good citizens, and that the demands of the Government for the men and means of suppressing the re bellion will be fully met and surpassed by the devotion, the zeal, and the self-sacrifice, if need be, of the millions of free men who have so long enjoyed the protection of the Con stitution, and who, with the blessing of God, will support the Government by all means in their power, until the su premacy of the laws is re-established throughout the land. " Resolved,—That it is the duty of all good differences p a st abroad as well as at home, overlooking allcitizens of political opinions, to aid, by their efforts, their prayers, and their money the constituted authorities of the country in upholding the Constitution and the Union, and in car rying on the war which has been forced upon them by the lawless and unconstitutional acts of misguided men—a war, not to destroy the interests of any part of the country, but to preserve them all ; not to subjugate any State, or the loyal citizens of any State, but to put down, everywhere, and, as we trust in God, for ever, the authors and abettors of tumult and rebellion. " Resolved, —That a copy of these resolutions, as embody ing the sentiment of a very large number of Americans in the city of Paris be forwarded to the President of the United States." Loud cheering greeted the resolutions thus pro posed, and they were adopted with acclamation. The Hon. W. L. DAYTON, American Minister at the Court of the Tuileries next rose, and was re ceived with loud applause. He spoke as follows : Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen,--I find my self, though far removed from my own country, surrounded by the faces of American citizens, and subject to the rules and conventionalities of Ameri can social life, among which is the necessity of a speech whenever called for. It is needless, my friends, to deny that our country has fallen upon evil times ; that much of its prestige abroad is for the present gone, that our self-love is rebuked and our pride is humiliated not by the actions of others, but by the misconduct of portions of our own countrymen. Nations, like individuals are some times spoiled by prosperity. (Hear, hear.) It does not follow as a logical sequence that where ever there is dissension in a country it results from the wrongs and oppressions of a Government. In our case, it results from its very opposite. It seems to come from the plethora of its abundance and prosperity. It is the wanton outbreak of a restless and excitable people who complain substan tially of nothing. We who know the condition of our country and the value of its institutions, though chastened in pride and rebuked in feeling, cannot forget these truths. (Hear.) You have come to gether on this occasion to give expression to your feelings of attachment and respect for the laws and Constitution of your country. It is in good time. Your friends there are now testing the question if you have a country, for a country without a Govern ment is no country. It is a habitation without a name—a locus in quo for a miserable existence. The world cannot expect, and least of all can Eng land expect, that we shall disgrace our Saxon lineage by permitting a Government which has ac complished so much for humanity within so brief a space to go out without a struggle, and, if need be, such a struggle as the world has not seen. Our Union cost much, and it is worth all and more than it cost. (Loud cheers.) This is no time or place for laboured argument. It is enough to say, though that may assume the point in dispute, that the United States is no Confederation. It ceased to be such in 1787, when its present Constitution was formed. It is no compact between the States to be broken with cause or without cause, at the option of any ; but it is a nation, treated with as such, recognised as such by every civilised Power on the face of the earth ; and who ever heard of secession as applied to a nation ? (Cheers.) We know of rebellion and of revolution, and we recognise them as a right under certain cir cumstances. But what publicist, what writer upon international law, has ever told us when and where the right of secession begins and ends ? The word, as applied to the existing state of things in our country, is a delusion. The facts show it a wicked, causeless rebellion. Nothing more, nothing less. (Tremendous applause.) We are sometimes asked how this civil war will end. We cannot fix the times or seasons of its termi nation, but we think we can see the end. The re lative strength of the two sections of the country foretells the future of the controversy. We have been told that " the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong," but this, I think, in temporal matters at least, is the exception, not the rule. The long delay and forbearance of the Government have led some minds to doubt its power, but this was not the quiet of weakness and timidity, but rather of a conscious strength. This delay, too, was superin duced by the fact that the masses of the people, North and West, never believed that the men of the South would bring the matter to the dreadful issue of civil war. They could not realise the fact that any considerable portion of our people could wil fully throw off their allegiance to the Federal Government, which they had only known, as we thought, by its blessings. But the cannon at Fort Sumter roused them, like the blast of a bugle. (Applause.) If they -were slow to understand, slow to realise the truth of their position, they were quick to meet it. The instant terrible uprising of at least 20,000,000 people, as if by a single impulse, was sublime. The history of the world, ancient or modern, has nothing more so. And I desire to say now that, from the days of our revolution to the present hour, the country has never been stronger than at the present moment—never more able to meet any contingency which may arise from foreign or domestic war. The danger is, if this rebellion continue, that the whole country roused, as one man by a common impulse, will become a military Power rather than an agricultural and commercial people. But in the meantime we ask, not in the spirit of defiance, but as a matter of right, that the outside world will leave us alone, We do not ignore the sympathy of men or of nations who think well of us and of our principles—and I thank God I have found such during my brief residence in Europe—but for those who distrust us, who doubt our powers of self-government, who look upon the present condition of things in the United States with an ill-concealed joy (if there be such) — I say, again, leave us alone, hands off—rebellion is not revolution, and secession, as a political principle, is something unknown. It is to be made good only by the strong arm of that power which avows it as a political right. (Hear, hear.) It will be no matter of surprise, in view of my past professional life, that my attention should have been early called to such laws of France as may bear upon our rights. The commercial world has been much agitated by the threatened issue of letters of marq ue and reprisal by the so-call e d Confederate Gov ernment of the South. I have looked into the French laws as respects the rights of these privateers ; and if I understand them aright—and I desire to speak with great diffidence, and subject to correction, in refer ence to the laws of a foreign country—(lo a d a p. plause)—France will, I think, leave .oidus ha,llontheinikn v irtue of her own laws. Those l aws —l, that a captain who takes the command of a foreign privateer is guilty of a piratical act ; 2, that the French citizen who shall enlist in a foreign service without the authority of the Emperor loses all his rights as a French citizen ; 3, that no pri zes of a privateer ca n stay in a French port over 24 e o s t e ; o n a d n e d ea t n h a a t t i , o n a s o a conseque nce, 4, there c an y t b e e m p n prizes in a French port by Courts of Admiralty in our Southern States. (Loud cheers.) If lam cor rect in these views of the laws of France, there will be little chance of trouble and few points of conflict between the Government of France and our own. I sincerely hope that we may have trouble nowhere outside the limits of our own country. (Long con tinued cheering.) The Ron. C. M: CLAY, American Minister to the Court of St. Petersburg, next addressed the meeting in the following terms :—Gentleman, had desired to go where my Government had ordered me without entering upon political ques tions. It was with no ordinary feelings that, land ing at Calais, I first set foot upon this land of our ancient ally and steadfast friend, who so gallantly aided us in the achieving our independence and founding a great nation. (Applause.) As an agriculturist I was interested in the thorough cul ture of the soil, and as a lover of nature I was en chanted with the large vista over green fields , hill, THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 3, 1861. by the people, for the people, and is so declared to be on the very frontlets of that instrument itself— there, glittering like a star, is the language—" We, the people, do ordain and establish this Constitu tion," and again it is declared that this constitu tion, and the laws made in pursuance thereof, shall be the supreme law of the land. It is a government thus established, a government resting on the good will of the people—that will flowing forth into practical government through the forms of the organic law to which they have assented—a go vernment around which cluster so many memories, and which to us is the noblest that ever shed its blessings en mortal men. (Applause.) It is such a government that a few traitors, because they have been outvoted, would overthrow, and would esta- blish in its place one born of their own caprice, resting it not on the will of the people, but on sla very as its corner stone. The contest is not be- tween two parties equally divided, as some suppose it to be, for political power, but it is a great struggle for principles, for the integrity of our society and government, between the highest civilisation on one hand, and the blackest barbarism on the other. (Applause.) It is not a contest between sections—on the one side, as has been stated, are 20 millions crystalised into one great fighting mass, and in sympathy with these are millions in the South who are in the thrall of a conspiracy which has taken them by surprise. And against this are a few dar. ing men, who, struggling against the holiest feelings of the human heart, against a Government which they have never felt but in the blessings it con ferred, lead on the fanatical and the ignorant, made so by the bad system they would establish, men whose strength was in the political power they derived from slavery as a subtle element in the Go vernment, but now weak in the quality and force on which they rely, without men, without money, without credit, dependent for the food they eat and the clothing they wear on those they assail, with out a ship, without a sailor, who cannot make a sword or a musket, who have no flag which a Fejee Islander ought to respect ; and these men hurl themselves against the prejudices and patriotism, and memories and hopes, and numbers, and civilisa tion of the American people. (Applause.) In the language of Mr. Clay, just used, and I repeat it with emphasis, "of course they must fail." They shall fail, and their memories rot ! (Cheers.) lam sorry for the innocent, who must suffer for their guilt. The people were merciful and the Govern ment forbearing. It was our glory that in our whole history no traitor's blood was on the hands of the Government. We wished no war, no shed- ding of fraternal blood. It was not until fortress after fortress was taken, outrage after outrage corn • mitted, hospitals sacked, and the poor and the sick turned out into a desolate world, and a fort with its famishing garrison reduced, that the people sprung to arms for the Government they loved ; and, sir, as you (Mr. Dayton) have said, there has not been in ancient or modern times, such a rising of the people. On every hill they rose; and in every valley and every moun tain pass formed armies which would gladden the eye of any Napoleon, and are moving with irresistible force to crush the rebellion. (Applause.) And, Sir, without using the language of menace, if there is anybody who wishes well to society and the human race, let him see to it that he is not brought within the sphere of the resentment of this roused nationality and haughty patriotism. (Ap plause.) But I must bring these remarks to a close. I would that our struggling brothers at home could hear this day our words of lofty cheer, and know how the American heart in this far land throbs true to them, and the cause for which they struggle. We send them with our blessings over the sea; but what is better, we send with them one known to them, known to us, known to the two hemispheres, and one who, in this warlike land of his ancestors, heard the call of his mother (for he is, indeed, a child of the Republic), and, casting from him the urgent claims et his private affa'rs, almost without warning or notice, determined to fly to the defence of the flag he has done so much to exalt. We say to him that he will be welcomed on the western shore by 1,400,000 men, who but yesterday hailed his name as a symbol of their faith, and by a count less host who then defeated our hopes with, if pos sible, at:AM - warmer enthusiasm—welcomed on the Atlantic slope, and on the Pacific slope, which his valour won for us, and in the Rocky Mountains, from whose loftiest summit he was the first to un furl the beautiful banner of his country, in the beams of the setting sun. (Applause) We breathe our benison upon him. We know what will follow where he goes before, for " born and nursed in dan ger's path, he's tried her worst," We know his future will be as bright as his past, and that he will enjoy a soldier's triumph or the sweet tran quillity of an honoured soldier's grave. And now, all hail, Fremont, and farewell ! (Tremendous ac clamations, which were followed by three cheers for Colonel Fremont.) Colonel S. C. FitEMONT next rose and said—Mr. President, Ladies, and Gentlemen—l am deeply sensible to the warm and flattering expressions of confidence and regard with which I have just been honoured, and still more deeply sensible to your kind approval of them. They are very grateful to me, and I thank you very sincerely. But you will be very sure that I do not receive them as due to myself ; I am conscious that I owe them to the partiality of friendship, and to that sort of attachment which a soldier always feels for the banner under which he has fought. (Hear.) To him (Mr. Bur linghame), and the other friends around me who have spoken to-day, I represent the standard on which old watchwords were inscribed. It is themselves who were the leaders, themselves who bore with you the heat of the day, and who have won their battle gloriously. And they have come among us here, with their habitual eloquence, to convey to our true-hearted countrymen at home the assurance of our unalterable devotedness to the country, and our unbounded admiration of the generous loyalty with which they rallied to its calls. (Cheers.) A few days back our honoured flag was trailing in the dust at the foot of an insolent foe ; at present its stars are refulgent from a thousand heights, swarming with brave hearts and strong arms in its defence. (Applause.) We drink to them to-day, our brave and loyal countrymen. Renewed cheers.) Faithfully, too, have our scat tered people responded to them, from Italy, from England, and from France. Well have they shown they, too, can cross the seas and change their skies, and never change their hearts. (Loud cheering.) lam glad that a happy chance has brought me to participate with you here on this occasion. Here in this splendid capital of a great nation, where near by us the same tombstone records the blended names of Washington and Lafayette, I feel that I breathe a sympathetic air. (Hear, hear.) France is progress, and I am happy to believe that here we shallnot see a people false to their traditional policy. (Loud applause.) From here we shall see no strong hand stretched out to arrest the march of civiliza tion, and aid in throwing back a continent into barbarism. We expect nowhere active co-opera tion, but we look for the sympathy which the world gives to a good cause. We are willing to work out our own destiny, and make our own history. Be fore this struggle closes the world will recognize that enlightened liberty is self-sustaining, and that a people who have once fully enjoyed its blessings will never consent to part with them. We have deprecated this war, fratricidal and abominable ; most gladly would we welcome back our people if thsy would return to their allegiance. We would bury, deep as the ocean, the hasty anger which their parricidal conduct provoked. But they must return at once to their allegiance. We shall not permit them to dishonour our flag and desecrate our sacred graves. (Hear, hear.) They cannot be permitted to dismember our coun try and destroy our nationality. (Hear.) We shall maintain these in their fullest integrity, in the face and so we will maintain makentainit n . o A c lr om e p w r i o l - 1 do our duty loyally, and ' w il e l n i o s en with continuedtreason, cheering.) an ring.) d no s urrender to rebellion. (Long The Hon. Mr. HALDEMANN, American Minister to the Court of Stockholm, was next called on, but merely spoke a low welljudged sentences, thanking and dale, intercepted by occasional dense forests, which more than realised all I had imagined of " La Belle France." But what shall I say of Paris ? —her spacious and elegant streets, her grand old classic structures, her beautiful parks, her galleries of art—the fine and the useful—her monuments of dramatic history, and above all, her development of progress and civilization? For I must say that I have not seen a beggar, a ragged man, or a drunkard in France. (Hear, hear.) A manly sympathy with the cause of liberty in '76 has not, by the eternal 1 laws, been lost upon her people. Does any man venture to say that the French of to-day have paid too much in treasure and blood for the liberties they now enjoy, which this great people and the great chief of their choice equally recognise ? (Loud cheers.) The political empyric only is impatient— waiting upon nature, and following upon the fading footprints of the ages—the world-wide statesman and philanthropist withholds the hand of rash pro- pagandism. With hopeful aspirations for the future—with all my heart, I say, " Vive la France, vive 1 'Ameriper (Applause.) Yes, gentlemen, my country shall live. She sacrifices property, and life, and kindred to justice. She suffers all things for the whole race—not forgetting the language of Lafayette . ankall the martyrs of '76 she draws her sword once more in " defence of the rights of human nature." Yes, our Union, our Constitu tion, and our liberties shall live. That is why I have said elsewhere, this rebellion shall go down. " Cotton is King !" No ; " Grass is King," for the United States produce more dollars worth of grass than cotton. Let the South send 400,000,000 dols. worth of cotton to the nations ; if she pays it out, all out for clothes and food, and mules and cotton-gins, and farming utensils, what _ _ _ _ does it matter? She finds herself at the end of the year indebted in advance of her income. Her banks are exhausted of their coin to pay for food, her notes are not redeemed, her currency ceases to cir culate, her stocks are nothing, her credit is gone. Does the Times understand me ? Therefore I say, of course, we can conquer her. lam accused of threatening England. I am not in the habit of casting about me to see how I may make truth most palatable. Let those who stand in the way of truth look out. (Hear.) If England, after all she has said against slavery, shall draw her sword in its defence, then I say, great as she is, she " shall perish by the sword." For then not only France, but all the world shall cry out, "Perfide Albion!" When she mingles the red crosses of the Union Jack with the piratical black flag of the " Confede rate States of America "—will not just as certainly the Tricolor and the Stars and Stripes float once more in fraternal folds. (Hear, hear.) Can France forget who has doggedly hedged in all the fields of her glory P Can Napoleon forget St. Helena ? Will he at her bidding turn his back upon the East ? Shall "Partant pour la Syrie" be heard no more in France for ever ? Russia strengthens herself by giving up slave labour for the omnipotent powers of nature ; which by steam, and electricity, and water, and the mechanical forces share with man the creative omnipotence. Shall England cross half the globe to check the Eastern march of her new-born civilisation ? I have spoken to England not as an enemy, but a friend. For her own sake, I would have her be true to herself. If England would preserve cotton for her millions of opera tives, let her join in putting down the rebellion. Her interference in defence of the rebels of the South will force us to do that which would be a calamity to us as well as to them—at a blow to destroy slavery for ever. The interest of England and France lie in the same direction—in the preserva tion of the Union, and the making successful rebel lion impossible. (Loud applause.) Especially does France find safety in our unity and prosperity —for between us there is no antagonism whatever. We want her silks, her brandies, her wines, her porcelains, her cloths, her finer cottons ; her thou sand articles of unequalled taste. She wants our tobacco, our meats, our grains, and all that ; while she will not envy us the prosperity of our ruder manufactures, which put money in our purse, and make us able to purchase all she has to sell us. Let England, and France, and Russia, and Spain, and Mexico, and all the nations join with us—the Union—it shall be preserved. (Tremendous cheer ing.) Planting myself upon the broad principles of natural law, which it was the glory of Lord Chatham to introduce into modern diplomacy, I most heartily respond to your resolutions; I join the old Romans in the purity of my patriotism; of our nationality, my undying aspiration is " Esto perpetua," of slavery " Delenda est Carthago." (Long continued cheers.) The PRESIDENT then said that a telegraphic despatch had been received, giving news from the United States to the 18th, which could not fail to interest the meeting. (A gentleman near then read the despatch in question, which was loudly cheered. The Hon. A. BURLINGAME, American Minister to the Court of Vienna, next rose and spoke as fol lows :—Mr. President, ladies, and gentlemen,—l respond to your call with all my heart in the spirit of that patriotism which gleams in every eye and swells in every breast. I hold it fit that the chil dren of the land of Washington should, in the land of Lafayette, renew their vows to the great princi ples for which those men struggled. (Applause.) And we accordingly do here and now renew them, and swear, by the over -livin g God that we will sustain that Great Government which resulted from their blended efforts, and breathe the exultant hope that, like their holy memories, it will endure for ever. (Applause.) It seems to me, since I have been hue ; that I have received the impression—l cannot tell whence or why—certainly not from any thing I have read or heard—surely not from any thing derived from the reticent ruler of this gallant people—that the feeling which swayed the French and our fathers still survives. It seems to me that they do not mock at us in our supposed calamity, that they do not misrepresent us in their press— that their statesmen do not compare us to Turks and our enemies to Greeks—(laughter)----that they do not speak of " belligerent rights" in such a way as to leave us to infer that they would make merchan dise of our misfortunes, and open all their ports to the pirates' prize. (Applause.) I malKe not these distant allusions to deepen your regards on the one hand, or to rouse your resentment against a kin dred people on the other. I accuse not the Saxon heart. (Dr. M'Clintock—" That is right.") My friend says that is right ; yes, I know the heart of old England is sound. But, as an American, I can not be indifferent to the language of a portion of the English press, nor to the language of a few of England's statesmen. I know, as my friend Mr. Clay has said, that we have derived our language, literature, and laws from her. No man bends lower than I to her majestic antecedents, but I must be permitted to regret the attitude in which she has been placed by those who assume to give expression to her sentiments. This I will say—ever mindful of the ties of consanguinity which others have seem to have forgotten—that when a generous people has blotted from its memory the resentful recollections of two wars, it is neither kind nor wise to rouse them again with tenfold rancour. And this I will further say, that, whoever is for or against us, we w ; i r ll . , i D n ay t h to e n s g e u t a t l g e e o f our o u o r w distinguished friend, o urwn soil, and shall reserv e a heart for wh oever , for wa y' " We put down ciwuii ac ca r t e he b va e en l r l d i oacnan cause, s o ae n do shallauurn owndaunt l es s found in complicity with the most causeless revolt that ever lifted its audacious hand against a noble Government and a generous civilisation.

I have met such since I have been here, who h ave fallen into the fatal fallacy of Calhoun, and believe that our Government is a comprct between States, and that as these did accede to it they have, there fore, a right to secede from it. But in our theory of government, Wales would have as much right to secede from England, and Normandy from France, as South Carolina and Alabama from the United States. (Hear.) Ours is not a compact or league in that sense—all that went down with the Con federation—but it is a government of the people, the meeting for receiving him kindly, and declar ing at the same time that he considered it unneces sary to add anything to sentiments so well expressed by the able speakers who had preceded him. The following gentlemen spoke in succession, and were much applauded :—Dr. M'Clintock, Captain Symmes, the Rev. C. L. Thayer, the Rev. M. Lam son, Mr. W. K. Strong, and Major Seliver. The proceedings terminated about 4 o'clock, after a display of patriotic feeling unsurpassed in unani mity. MADRAS IRRIGATION AND CANAL COMPANY. The fourth ordinary general meeting of this com pany was held on Thursday at the London Tavern ; . _ Mr. James Thompson, chairman of the directors, presiding. The report, an abstract of which has already ap peared in our columns, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said he was anxious to explain the position of the company. Since the last meeting the directors had had to con- tend with many difficulties, not of their own crea tion, and to overcome which they had used their best endeavours. The first of these difficulties was with the Government, in connexion with the limi tation and extension of their project. They had undertaken to raise all necessary funds to meet the extension of the project without any additional gua: rantee from the Government, but the Secretary o State had declined to accede to this proposition, and had insisted that the expenditure should be limited to the amount of the guaranteed capital. The en gineer of the company had, therefore, been instructed to modify the scheme by cutting off those portions which would best bear excision. At the same time provision had been made for securing a summer sup ply of water, although the important district of Bel lary had necessarily been shut out of the scheme, which in its modified shape had, in its main fea tures, received the assent of the Madras govern ment. It was manifest that a project, which was both navigable and irrigating in its character, must have a source as well as a termination. The direc- tors had accepted Kurnool as a very good point for one end of the canal, but they regarded the town, or rather village, of Poonkasala, which was now fixed for the other, as by no means suited for a terminal point. The canal ought clearly to come down to the sea, and looking at the matter with regard to themselves, it was necessary that they should have the lands embraced within the valley of Nellore brought within their project of irriga tion. They had submitted a plan to the Secretary of State for bringing the canal down to the sea coast, and if the whole project could be constructed within the guaranteed capital, of course no difficulty would arise. But if that capital should not be sufficient, then the directors had asked for powers to raise additional capital, free from any guvern ment guarantee, and with the works so constructed completely within their own control. Unfortu nately, however, the government at home had not met the directors liberally ; on the contrary, it had shown a desire to restrict the rights and privileges of the company—possibly from an idea that they had got too good a bargain—an idea, at all events, which the shareholders were not at present in a position to appreciate. (Hear, hear.) He hoped, nevertheless, that this difficulty would in time be surmounted. The second difficulty with which the directors had had to contend was in connexion with the alleged extravagant and useless expenditure of £BO,OOO by their chief engineer. There was no foundation at all for this. All that the chief engineer had done was to make an anicut for a mile and a half from Kurnool, in a direction which he believed must necessarily be taken to complete the project; and this he had done with the consent of the Government consult ing engineer. The local Government, however, had been led by the prevailing rumours to stop that part of the works, and had sent Major Orr to examine and report upon them. That gentleman differed in opinion upon some points from the com pany's chief engineer and the consulting engineer of the Government, in consequence of which the Government had decided that for the present the execution of that portion of the works must be held in abeyance, until detailed estimates of expense were furnished to them; but it was to be remarked that while the question was regarded by the com pany's engineer and the consulting engineer of the Government commercially, it had been considered by Major Orr only in an engineering point of view, he considering that the anicut would materially injure if not destroy the town of Kurnool. The result had been a most unfortunate delay and in crease of expenditure, but nothing had transpired at all calculated to damage the ultimate commer cial and physical value of the project. The loss of a twelvemonth had rendered it impossible to reap any returns from their outlay, but very soon after the resumption of the works at and from Koonsala, 60,000 acres would be under irrigation, and then shareholders would be able to judge of the value of their investments. (Hear, hear.) In conclusion the chairman moved formally the adoption of the report. Mr. JONES said the company was indebted to the directors for having gained a guarantee for the original million and for having given to the under taking a fair stand on the Stock Exchange, as well as for having brought the offices of the Indian Famine Fund under their own roof, so as to exhibit the bane and the antidote side by side. But there, in his opinion, the claims of the directors ended. They had been most unfortunate in their choice of a surveyor and engineer, they had held out a prospect of irrigating a million of acres, they had raised their caoital with the representation that it would execute 700 miles of works ; and now their project was cut down to 200 miles, with an uncertainty as to whether their capital of a million would suffice even for that limitation of their project. The directors had failed in candour, uprightness, and caution—they had made blunders without having the manliness to admit their errors, and they had kept the shareholders in the dark when it was their duty to enlighten them. With regard to the stop ' page of works by the Government, that step was fully justified by the repeated changes made in his plans by the engineer, and the report made by Major Orr of the unfavourable character• of the Kurnool anicut ; and, on the whole, he believed that the efforts of the directors to shift the blame from their own shoulders to those of the Government reacted very mischievously upon the prospects of the com pany. In conclusion, be moved an amendment as serting that the vigilance of the local Government was the best security for the profitable character of the undertaking. A SHAREHOLDER seconded the amendment. Sir H. ROPER said the report was full, and the statement of the chairman still more so. Still they were but so much dust thrown in the eyes of the shareholders, by avoiding points upon which they ought to be instructed. With regard to the ob structions said to have been met with from the Madras Government and the Secretary of State, they seemed to him to have been entirely owing to an attempt of the directors to exceed the guaranteed limits of their enterprise. The CHAIRMAN, in the course of his explanations, said that the report, instead of being a delusive statement, intended to throw dust in the eyes of the shareholders, was a true and full explanation of the position of the company. With regard to the choice of works, the Madras Government originally recom mended the whole scheme to the home Government, who asked the company to take charge of it, which they agreed to do. The real question was whether their scheme was to be cut down to meet the limits of their original capital, contrary to the rule ob served with regard to railway and other public Companies which took powers to raise additional capital, if necessary. With regard to the alleged looseness of the original estimates, it was tobe remem bered that although those estimates were made by the chief engineer of the company , they were checked by the consulting engineer of the Indian Govern ment. No doubt there was a great difference of opinion with regard to the estimates ; and, in fact, the original estimate of Major Orr himself was only £BOO,OOO for the completion of the entire project down to the sea coast, while the original esti mate of the company's engineer for the 700 miles was £1,153,000. (Hear, hear.) The scheme as now modified would, upon the authority of the Govern ment consulting engineer, irrigate 400,000 acres, with an addition of 200,000 more if the Maury tank section were carried out. The whole expenses ' incurred in the Kurnool:division was about £9OOO. The amendment of Mr. Jones was then put, but found no supportersfrom amongst the shareholders, with the exception of the original seconder. The report was, after some further discussion, agreed to, and a vote of thanks terminated the pro ceedings.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westminster.—Before Mr. Justice Hill and Common Juries.) WALKER V. BARKER.--BREACH OF PROMISE. This was an action for a breach of promise of marriage. The defendant pleaded five pleas. First, he denied the promise; secondly, that a reasonable time had not elapsed; thirdly, that the plaintiff was not ready and willing to marry him ; fourthly, that the plaintiff had absolved him from his pro mise ; and,: fifthly, that the plaintiff had behaved in such an indecent and immoral manner as to ex onerate him from his promise. Mr. Pearce was counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Sergeant Parry and Mr. Joyce were for the de fendant. The plaintiff is a young woman about 22 years of age, and the defendant is the manager of a pub lic-house in Charlton-street, Somers-town, the plaintiff's residing in Camden-town. In 1858 the plaintiff was in the habit of visiting her uncle and aunt, who resided opposite the defendant's, and they became acquainted, and that resulted in an intimacy and a promise to marry. Several letters and presents passed between the parties, the latter including the defendant's portrait in a case, and in a brooch with the plaintiff's and defendant's hair entwined. On Valentine's day, Feb. 14, 1859, she received from the defendant a valentine, with the usual amount of Cupids, flowers, and the printed words, "My heart yearns for thee"—laughter— and the following poetry in his handwriting:— " Art thou not dear unto my heart? Oh search that heart and see ; And from that bosom tear that part That beats not true to thee. But to that bosom thou art dear, More dear than words can tell ; And if a fault be cherished there, 'Tis loving thee too well." (Laughter.) On the envelope was written, "I love thee true." After the parties had been acquainted for some time, they visited Oxford, where the plaintiff's parents had gone to reside, and there defendant held himself out as her future husband. Whilst there he purchased a wedding ring and presented to her, saying, " Here's the wedding ring and one to bind it, and you will soon want me to bind yourself." He also purchased a keeper. The plaintiff at this time was a cook in Guildford-street, Russell-square, and upon the faith of the marriage she left her situation and went to reside with her uncle and aunt for the purpose of preparing for the marriage. Several articles of furniture were purchased, when it appeared the defendant had been at• tracted by another young lady in the same street, and became cool and afterwards left the plain tiff. With regard to the fifth plea an applica tion was made to chambers for the defendant to supply the plaintiff with the names, &c., of the per sons with whom the plaintiff had acted immorally, and he gave the names of three persons, one being the tradesman from whom the furniture was pur chased. The plaintiff and defendant had not seen each other since August, 1860. The defendant returned his letters and presents, but they had kept hers. In a conversation with her uncle as to his intentions the defendant said, " She knows what it's for ; I've done with her altogether." The uncle, in cross-examination, denied that he had boasted he would get her £5O damages. The aunt stated that when the letters were to be burnt the defendant asked for both or one of the rings. Plaintiff refused to give them up, and the aunt said, " Why do you wish to part man and wife ?" Plaintiff turned round and smiled. Mr. Balderson, furniture dealer, proved the plain tiff and defendant coming to his shop and purchas ing articles of furniture. He never took liberties with tile plaintiff. He had never patted her on the back and kissed her. He might have touched her on the back, as any other customer, to call her attention to some little article. He did not do Tit with any improper intention. The defendant was present all the time. Several letters were put in and read. One dated 3d November, addressed to the plaintiff's aunt, was as follows : Dear mother,—l have taken the pleasure of this short note to you, hoping to find you all quiet well, as it leave all as at present. I told Sarah about not writing home, and she said she had not had time yet. Uncle Martin is not much better. He was a little better about a fortnight a go. Wether is against you much. I told him last Sunday that I like to see him out again with his poney and chaise and Harriet is has got a nice company to play with her cousin baby, and it is a fine, girl, and will you ask father whether he has got a squax— (laughter)—to spare for her. If you have I should be very much oblige if you give my best respecks to to Jack—(laughter)—Polly and Bessy, Dick and all the little ones—(laughter)—and would you be so kind as to tell Jack that I tried to get. what he ask me. I could not for love nor money. So no more from your affectionate son-in law, THOMAS BARKER." On the 30th June he wrote the aunt— " Dear mother ;" he spoke of their coming together, and concluded—" Your affectionate son and daughter, Thomas Barker and Harriett." Mr. Sergeant Parry addressed the jury for the defence. He said it was to be regretted this action had been brought. In August or September, 1860, all intimacy ceased between them, and it was not till March, 1861, that the present action was brought. The defendant was only a barman and not manager, and the plaintiff's father was only a paviour, and it was not likely the plaintiff would be much benefited by this action. He should call witnesses to prove the fifth plea so far as regarded her romping and kissing with young men. On one occasion she went out with a young man and desired a female friend not to tell Tom, and under these cir cumstances the defendant thought it was desirable for them not to come together. There was a regu lar understanding between them that the arrange ments about the marriage should cease. He called Mrs. Porter, who deposed that at the latter end of the autumn of 1860, she saw the plaintiff at Mr. Baldersbn's shop, It was between nine and ten o'clock, and she was speaking to him and Mr. Young, a fishmonger. Afterwards she saw the plaintiff and Mr. Balderson in the shop. She heard a laugh, and on looking round she saw plaintiff kissing Mr. Balderson. Cross-examined—Balderson's shop is an open one with windows to the ground. She saw Mr. Bal derson put his head into the plaintiff's bonnet and kiss her. (Laughter.) They were at the further end of the shop. It was done for witness to notice it. Anyone passing could have seen it. She thought nothing of it at the time, and did not men tion it for some time after. Plaintiff told her she was to be married in September, 1861. Witness told the defendant of it about too months ago. Catherine Gibbs saw the plaintiff, in Along, 1860, with a young man named M'Millan, and . she desired her not tell Tom of it. She saw her with him on Palm Sunday, and he kissed her twice. She had seen Mr. Balderson put plaintiff's back and squeeze her hand. (Laughter.) The kissing took place at the uncle's street door. She resided at the public house opposite plaintiff's aunt's house. Robert Muntze, barman at the Victoria, in Charl ton-street—On the 13th August, 1860, he saw the plaintiff at Ler uncle's door with George Hubert. They were larking and kissing. It was 11 o'clock at night. Witness took plaintiff's letters back to her and asked for the rings. She declined to give them up, and said, " If Thomas wants them he must come for them." Cross-examined—Defendant was with witness in the bedroom when they saw the kissing. The Victoria was opposite the plaintiff's. Defendant saw them together first, and called witness's atten tion to them. They were merry. Playing together. (Laughter.) George Russell deposed to the plaintiff and M'Millan being at the uncle's door on Palm Sun day evening. M'Millan had her hand in his. They kissed before parting and after. (Laughter.) They both kissed each other, but he did not hear the smack. (Laughter.) Henry M'Millan deposed that he was a butcher. In August, 1860, he took the plaintiff to Hamp stead, with her uncle and aunt. They returned home about half-past nine o'clock. On the way to Hampstead she said she was to be married to Tom in about a twelvemonth from that time. Mr. Joyce—Did anything pas a s between you th a t evening ? Witness —Nothing but a kiss. (Laughter.) He could not go all day without having a kiss. (Laughter.) He paid for the donkey-riding on the heath, and she repaid him with a kiss. (Laughter.) He kissed her on Palm Sunday. Cross-examined —He told plaintiff's attorney that he had only kissed her once—on Palm Sunday. Defendant might have told him that he had been served with a writ in this action. Defendant did not ask him then to go and kiss her. (Laughter.) Re-examined—She made a trifle of resistance when he kissed her. (Laughter.) George Hubert deposed that he kissed the plain tiff on the evening of the 13th August. Cross-examined—He had only a slight know ledge of plaintiff. It wasgeis sister's wedding-day. Plaintiff asked him for some cake, but instead of that he kissed and larked with her. (Laughter.) Mr. Pearce---What do you call larking ? Witness—He caught her round the waist and kissed her. (Laughter.) He only kissed her once. He was a little fresh on account of the wedding. Defendant said witness would be doing him a ser vice to come and give evidence. As it was a trifling matter he said he had no objection. (Laughter.) The jury 'ound a verdict for the plaintiff; damages, 420. DISTURBANCE Al CREMORNE GARDENS. Mr. King Harman, as described on the warrant on which he was taken into custody, otherwise Mr. Edward Wilkinson, No. 19, Duke-street, St. James's, the name given by the prisoner at the Westminster police station, was charged before Mr. Arnold with being riotous and disorderly at Cremorne Gardens. A solicitor attended for the prisoner. Mr. E. Moore Adams, secretary at the gardens, said that about one; o'clock on Thursday morning, his attention was called to a disturbance at the cir cular bar. He went there and found several per sons collected, among whom was the prisoner. They were causing a great disturbance, and pre venting persons having refreshment. He endea voured to induce them to be quiet, and while exert ing himself to do so, the prisoner gave him a vio lent blow with his clenched fist, on the back of his neck. Complainant then called for assistance, as he became sick and felt unwell. Mr. Arnold—To what do you attribute feeling unwell ? Complainant—To the blow I received. I still feel the effects of it. _ _ _ Complainant, in continuation, said that policeman Potter, V 174, came to his assistance, and took hold of the prisoner. His friends called out for a rescue. The constable was then surrounded, and the prisoner was taken from him. A rush was then made to the coffee-room door, which was forced open. All of them rushed into it, and the prisoner:proceeded to the window, which he opened, when he removed the bars and got out. He was soon laid hold of by Potter, who was assisted by another constable. A cry was immediately raised of " Rescue," when the prisoner was forced away from the police. This occurred several times, and at last the prisoner got away. On Friday night he, however, came again, when he was served with the warrant by Potter, who took him to the station house. Complainant added, that while the disturbance was going on the person describing himself as the prisoner's solicitor was in the gardens. Mr. Arnold—Do you know the prisoner ? Complainant—Since he has been in custody I have recognised him as the person who took an active part in the disturbances which occurred two years ago on the Derby-day. Potter said that there were from forty to sixty persons joining the prisoner. This was the only part of the gardens in which there was a distur bance, and there were at least 16,000 persons in them. Several glasses were broken at the circular bar. The company in it could not be served, and he had his hat knocked over his eyes. The prisoner denied having struck the com plainant. Mr. Adams said he had a witness who saw the blow, but he was not present. Mr. Arnold said that it was not so much the assault that was to be complained of, but his (prisoner's) conduct, which was most disgraceful, and he should remand him. The Solicitor asked to put in bail. Mr. Arnold—Certainly not. He is remanded to Wednesday next. In the course of the afternoon Lord Worsley, M.P., applied to the magistrate to be allowed to put in bail. His application was refused. COUNTRY MARKETS. NORTHAMPTON-JuxE 1.
