We learn from Berlin, under date of the 9th inst.,
that the Emperor of Russia was expected to arrive in
that capital on the 10th.
All that is left of the German fleet, after the selec-
tion of ships made from it by Prussia, is to be sold
by auction. The following is the advertisement :
" The ships and stores of the German fleet of the
North Sea are to be sold, and the undersigned is com-
missioned by the Diet of the German Confederation to
conduct the sale. Persons desiring to purchase are,
therefore, requested to apply to the undersigned as soon
as possible, from whom they may obtain the conditions
of sale, and every other information desired. By giving
previous notice, both ships and stores may be here in-
spected.

M. TRIERS.

The Pays contains a long and cleverly-written
sketch of M. Thiers, from the pen of M. de la Gue-
ronniere. The following extract refers to M. Thiers's
pOwers as a speaker :
" M. Thiers is not the most eloquent of our ora-
tors ; he has not the dignity of M. Guizot, nor the
imagination of M. de Lamartine, nor the passionate
bursts of eloquence of M. Berryer, nor the perfidious
and caustic grace of M. de Montalembert, nor the
enthusiasm, sometimes tinged with
grandeur, of M.
Ledru-Rollin but he has clearness, precision, method,
logical reasoning, boldness, vigour, and unexpectedness—
all that seduces and fascinates; he does not make a
speech, he holds a conversation, in which he is the only
speaker. Never is there a moments hesitation in what he
says, never a forgetfulness, never the slightest disorder in
hismind; each deduction comes at the proper moment, and
each word expresses, to the most delicate shade of mean-
ing,M. appearThies,
what he desires to convey. The more confused the
whose
eye
with subject the clearer he will make it. Figures of arithmetic
are as familiar as facts to this marvellous intelligence.
He takes them, separates them, classifies them, and gives
iss ash such
them a sense and value which they did not appear to pos..
practical
sees before. He makes oven arithmetic attractive. Should

auditory by ehsn
demonstrations,ce
sharp as his voice is ready, at once perceiles it, and
rallies the attention of the persons before him b
some excursion into the domain of history or po-
l
itics, awakening the passions and sympathies of his
hearers, in order to preserve their attention. Then
his little falsetto voice assumes new intonations,
which display admirably emotions of various kinds,
enthusiasm, indignation, and all the sentiments which he
does not feel. His features become lit up, and his
glance darts forth gleams of light from under the glasses
of his spectacles. One would almost imagine that the
dwarf had become a giant, and that the little man
whose head scarcely overtopped the ledge of the tri-
bune had suddenly been transformed into one ofods, these
and
ancient athletes who fought for the g
who were, like them, invincible. But that does not
last, as for M. Thiers the sublime is only a rhe-
torical proceeding. He soon descends to the
ground, and resumes his analysis of facts and figures,
where he is always true, always able, always eloquent,
because he is there in his element. One day at the com-
mencement of his Parliamentary career, M. Thiers was
charged to draw up a report on the budget, a laborious
and difficult work, requiring much time and study.
This report having been called for several times by the
Chamber before he could have expected it, M. Thiers

[PRICE SD.

found himself forced, as it were, into a corner. He had
,not written a line of it, but without being in the slightest
degree disconcerted, he ascended the tribune, and in an
improvisation of four hours, made a statement, remark-
able for its lucidity of the general state of the finances.
He entered into every necessary detail, classified all the
figures, anti in that manner dictated his report to the
official she rt•hand writers. Such is M. Thiers in the,
tribune, mid his Parliamentary life is full of such pro-
digies and triumphs.".
But :as a statesman, M. de la Gu.erouniere does not
look an M. Thiers with so indulgent an eye. M.
Tniers wants, he says, what every statesman ought to
have—a profound political conviction. " The object,
of this sketch," he says, "believes neither in the
monarchy nor in the republic, nor in divine right nor
in popular right. He is a man of the state of things
existing at the moment. The monarchy of 1830 was
a fact for him—nothing more."' The sketch con-
cludes as follows :
‘. The following is a curious reminiscence relative to
M. Thiers. No one can forget the brilliant part which
M. de Lamartine took in the Regency M. de
Laina.r/ine, who by his memorable speech on that oc-
casion separated openly from the Consevative party,
became all at once the object of advances from all the
opposition 'coders. who were anxious to attach to
themselves co powerful an auxiliary. M. Garnier
Pages pretended that U. rte Lamartine was decidedly
republican; M. O. Barrot effirined that he was
liberal and dynastic ; in fine, even M. Thiers desired
to join to the Left Centre the man whom be used to call
disdainfully a great poet.' M. Thiers asked or an ina r-
view with M. do Lamartine, who granted it. It took place
under the trees in the garden of the Palsis Bourbon. The
conversation, which was a long one, did not terminate as
M. Thiers would have wished. 'lt is impossible,' said he,
at last, when about to withdraw, • that we should not
come to some understanding. One day or other wo shall
meet again.' Yk.s.' replied M. de Lamartine, 'we shall
meet agaio, but only to oppose each other; for you, M.
Thiers, are revolutionary and nut liberal; and I am
liberal and not revolutionary.' M. de Lamartine was
right; M. Thiers is revolutionary and not liberal."

" PRINCE SCHWARZENBURG TO MR. MICIIRDY.
6, Vienna, June 13, 1851.
"The undersigned, Resident Minister of Foreign
Affairs, and of the Imperial Household, has had the
honour to receive the letters of the Hon. J.
I‘.l.‘Curdy, Charge des Affaires of the United States of
North America, in which he interposes for the release
of the Rev. C. L. Brace, a citizen of the United States,
and confined by the Imperial authorities at Gros
Wardein. The undersigned did not fail to communicate
to the Honourable Mr. M'Curdy. that on the receipt
of the first application of the United States Consul,
crders had been given to the authorities to report on the
subject mentioned by Mr. M'Curdy, and to terminate
the proceedings with all possible speed. The under-
signed cannot, in the meantime, conceal from the Hon.
Mr. M'Curdy, that, in consequence of the communica-
tions received from the military commandant in Hun-
gary, showing that Mr. Brace, a citizen of the United
States, had been the bearer of papers from Hungarian
fugitives, belonging to the most dangerous and
prominent revolutionists, addressed to resident in-
dividuals very much suspected, as well as of
several copies of the most inflammatory and
treasonable publications, for which he had been
plaeed in confinement, is a proceeding which, espe
cielly during a siege, is most strictly forbidden by law;
that, in consequence of such conduct, cher el ore, the arrest
of Mr. Brace has been deemed the more fully justifiable,
as, in his extensive journey through Hungary, he had
thought proper to travel by very indirect, and by the
most unfrequented roads, in quest of these individuals
who were known for their hostility to the Government,
giving rise, by such proceedings, to the suspicion that
Mr. Brace participated in their political intrigues.
The undersigned will avail himself ot the earliest oppor-
tunity to communicate to the Hon. Mr. M'Curdy the
progress of the judicial investigation, which will, in
every respect, be conducted is conformity with the re-
quirements ot the existing laws ; and he avails himself
ot the occasion. to renew, &c.,

The democratic candidates for the Presidency had
addressed the following letters to the committee dele-
gated by the National Convention to communicate its
nominations :

" Concord, New Hampshire, June 17, 1852.
" Gentlemen,—l have the honour to acknowledge
your personal kindness in presenting me this day your
letter officially informing me of my nomination by the
Democratic National Convention as a candidate for the
Presidency of the United States.
" The surprise with which I received the intelligence
of the nomination was not unaaingled with painful soli.
citude, and yet it is proper for me to say that the manner
in which it was conferred was peculiarly gratifying. The
delegation from New Hampshire, with all the glow of
State pride and all the warmth of personal regard,
would not have submitted my name to the convention,
nor would they Have cast a vote for me under circum-
stances other than those which occurred.
" I shall always cherish with pride and gratitude the
recollection of the fact that the voice which first pro-
nounced for me, and pronounced alone, came from the
Mother of States—a pride and gratitude risingifar above
any consequences that can betide me personal y.
" May I not regard it as a fact pointing to the over-
throw of sectional jealousies, and looking to the perennial
life and vigour of a Union cemented by the blood of those
who have passed to their reward--a Union wonderful in
its formation, boundless in its hopes amazing in its des.
tiny. I accept the nomination, retying upon an abiding
devotion to the interests, the honour, and the glory of our
whole country, but beyond and above all, upon a power
superior to all human rig,ht....a power which, from
the first gun of the revolution, in every crusts through
which we have passed, in every hour of our acknow.
!edged peril, when the dark clouds have shut dowo
around us, has interposed, as if to baffle human wisdom,
outmarch human forecast, and bring out of darkness the
rainbow of promise. Weak myself, faith and hope re-
pose there in security. I accept the nomination upon
the platform adopted by the Convention, not because this
is expected of me as a candidate, but because the prin-
ciples it embraces command the approbation of my
judgment, and with them I believe I can safely say there
has been no word nor act of my life in convict.
" I have only to tender my grateful acknowledgments
were
members, you, gentlemen, to the Convention of which you
members, and to the people of our common country. e
`°l am, with the highest respect, your most obedient
servant, FRANK. PIERCE."

66 senate Chamber, June 22.
Gentlemen,—l have the honour to acknowledge the
receipt of your letter, notifying me that I have been no-
minated by the Democratic Convention as Vice-Presi•
dent of the United States.
" This distinguished manifestation of the respect and
confidence of my democratic brethren commands my
most grateful acknowledgments; and I cheerfully ac-
cept the nomination with which I have been honoured.
" Throughout a long public life I am not conscious
that I have ever swerved from those principles which
have been cherished and sustained by the democratic
party; and, in whatever situation I may be placed,
my countrymen may rest assured that I shall adhere to
them faithfully and zealously, perfectly satisfied that the
prosperity of our common country and the permanency
of our free institutions can be promoted and preserved
only by administering the government in strict accord-
ance with them.

Along with the return. which showed a Tory gain of
~-.
one vote at Derby appeared a paragraph stating that a
Tory agent had been apprehended by the policein a
small public-house, seated at a table in a private room
with a pile of gold and notes before him, in the very act
..............
'''''.." of bribing. This statement has very naturally alarmed
--1 the Derby Tories, and the Chairman of their Election
Committee—after three days' delay and consideration—
'7. b, has, for himself and his friends, denied " the slightest
knowledge of, or participation in, the doings of this man,
ea_ be he who he may." Other more desperate partisans at
1 Derby exclaim that the whole thing " is a Liberal trick;
l Mr. Evans, the Liberal banker, found the money, and
Mr. Moss, a Liberal lawyer, supplied the man."
Neither this general denial nor this retort calumnious
can, however, get rid of the facts as disclosed at the
" man's" examination before the Mayor and the bench of
Derby. The briber, "be he who lee may," is safe and
fast 'under lock and key in the town gaol at Derby, and
there are his captured gold and .memoranda secure in
the Mayor's chest. His assistant, too—the old soldier
who kept watch at the top of the stairs—be also was
taken. And some more rataonal eccount will 'Lave to
be given of the whole transaction than any which hsa
yet appeared. Otherwise the Tory vote gained at Derby
is at stake.
The Liberal candidates at Darby were kr. Bass and
Mr. Hayworth, the late Members, and against them was
pitted Dir. T. 13, Horsfall. of Liverpool, who was brought
torward as the pre-eminently Protestant, and religious,
and moral candidate. There is, unfortunately, a c
of voters at Detby who have always been more or less
open to bribery, and these itwas resolved to watch closely
on the polling day They ware seen going to `an ob-
scure
part of the town, and then dropping one by one
into a steall public-house by the back-door; voting, after
their return thence, for Mr. Horsfall. On this intelli-
gence, Mr. Moss, who had proposed Mr. "'creel!, and
who i's an alderman of the town, acted promptly.
[Divine procured the pass-sign and words by which the
initiated gained admittance to these electioneering k pi-
.
[cries, he engaged an active police ssrgeaut, and giving
him that cue, dispatched him, of course in plain clothes,
to the County Tavern, us the place was called. By
the beck-door the sergeant entered; groped his way
up a darkened staircase; and at its top facing
a door' came upon a stranger standing sentry.
Affecting to be an elector, the sergeant placed his
finger to his lips. That, however, wae.oot enough; the
guardian required, in addition to the sign, the mystic
words. " Ale, right, Radford sent me," having
uttered, the door waa.opered; in walked thcipvoitt beemaetz
and pounced on the offender, sweepirg away his gold,
his notes, and his memoranda of payments just made.
The man made no ditneulty or resistance; he admitted
both to the sergeant and to the magistrates, when
brought up for examination, what be had been about;
and told them he was a bricklayer at Shrewsbury, where
he. had gained reputation in similar occupations, and had
been invited over to Derby. Nothing, indeed, could ex-
ceed the fellow's frankness and candour up to a certain
point. He expressed a low opinion of the Derby people;
they did not, he said, know the value of their votes;
three pounds at most was what they required; 'elides et
Shrewsbury four and five times that sum was expected.
On examination before the magistrates, ono of those
Tory agents (who now deny any acquaintance with him)
appeared for the man, and finding nim thus loquacious,
strongly urged him to hold his tongue. But enough was
proved to the bench, on which there was at least one
violent Tory partisan, to induce the magistrates to re-
mand the accused; and there the scamp now lies, as we
have heard, in Derby gaol.
Nor does the bribery at Derby on behalf of the reli-
gious and moral Mr. Horsfall seem to have been con-
fined to public-houses in the back alleys of the town.
For it is said to have been openly practised in the
streets; and so indiscriminately and recklessly that there

MIDDLESEX.

The Protectionist party have at length determined
that there still be a contest for Middlesex. Their final
echrme is to bring forward only one candidate, namely,
the Marquis of blandford, in the hope, no doubt, that
aristocratic influence will prevail against Mr. Bernal
Osborne. A meeting of Tories was held yesterday
morning to determine what course should be pursued,
and it was resolved that the efforts of the Opposition
should be directed to the return of only one Protectionist.
Fifteen hundred pounds is said to have been subscribed
on the spot towards the expenses of the election. The
Liberals must be firm and united. To lose the metro-
politan county would be very wrong, and Mr. Bernal
Osborne deserves all the support Reformers can give him.
