The New-York Commercial Advertiser in

suboined remarks We copied the letter with
ont comment, because it seemed, to us, plain,
that Mr.. Dickerson had been as unfortunate, in

Mr. Calhoun's decisions in the Senate. In
both cases the Senator has proved all that his
opponents could ask.
Commodore Porter. I'VE lay before our read
ers, as an article Of the day, The following SIN
sular letter from Commodore Porter, which
seems to have been left as sort Of paper maya
zine, TO the trail Of which, at suitable time,
the Hon. Mr.. Dickerson was to apply the match,
Cor the purpose Of blowing up the present adj
miristration With this view il is let off in
the columns of the Richmond Enquirer, as the
great political lever used at the central point OF
the opposition. As to the letter, it is made up
Of ,chining and petulence He whines because,
after full and fair trial by his peers, officers
as brave, and skillful aid patriotic as himself,
he was Judged to deserve punishment for mis-
conduct; while no officer in our navy has been
more instrumental in bringing others before
courts martial, Than himself. He cannot drink
from the bitter chalice which he has co often
presented to the lips of others And he then

his sentence, the Presidentof the Unned States

mol go ou his knees, supplicate forgiveness, and
give splendid fete in honor Of the Commo-
dore, on the expiration Of his suspension. But

II has been asserted, contradicted, and re-as-
serted that Joseph Bounaparle has made an APP
plication TO the government of the Netherlands
TO be permitted TO reside in that country. The
following article from the Paris Constitution
mel Of the 18th of August, probably gives The
true state of the case:
"A number ofthe Journals have repeatedly
announced that the Court de Survelllers (J.
buonaparte) had obtained permission 10 reside
IN The Netherlands. They havea added that he
mad already Purchased a magnificent hotel at
brussels, where he intended to display the
masnlhcence of man who was worth 80 mil
MOns' he had even made his appearance in
..e streets OF Brassels, with an escort of A.
sauc pomp.-Mark the plain facts of the
.ase. NJ. Joseph Buonapar,e has resided in
'"e United States for ten years past: the
a"'0aht oil his fortune is beyond all measure
exaggerated; he is exceedingly anxious to be
