GUS and interesting correspondence between Jo-
seph Bonaparte and Gen. Lafayette. 1t is co.
pied into that paper from work recently pub
blished in London entitled "Memoirs Of Lafay-
cite, and the Revolution Of 1880, by NJ. b. Sar-
rams, Secretary of Lafayette" The letter Of
Lafayette is frank; though at this period. two
years from the date. his favorable opinion Of Lou
is Philippe has been undoubtedly changed.
Mr.. RIvEs and his family were to embark from
Havre on their return, the lst instant
A meeting of the citizens of Albemarle Coun-
| ty, Va. was held on Monday last, Major James
Clarke in the Chair, and Wilson NJ. Cary, Sc
cretary. They adopted resolutions, pIedging
themselves to oppose any Protective Tarif-but
protesting against Notification, as utterly fala-
cious and delusive, discountenanced alike by the
spirit and letter Of the Constitution, and subver-
sive of the Unon--and finding no precedent in
the proceedings Of Virginia in '9s and '99-and
expressing their determination to besr with the
ills of the Tariff Of 1882, " however oppressive,
under the encouraging belief, that it will prove
the harbinger OF more liberal concessions, which
shall ultimately bring it down TO the true reve-
nue. Standard" SC,
Judge Bsrrien-The remarks Of Judge Ber-
rien, at the Burke County (Georgia) meeting,
have been published in the Savannah papers,
So much doubt has been thrown upon his senti-
ments on the subject Of Modification, aud the
proper course of proceeding for the South, that
he has taken occasion to explain his views frank
ily. He declares it to be his opinion that the late
Tariff Law is no material concession to the
South, but that it fixes the protecting principle
permanently on the county. He afhrms it to
be unconstitutional and oppressive, and declares
his determination to urge an unt ompromislnS hos
tiliry to the system. in all its forms-wlth the
pro,iso that he will not be counted on as an
:. advocate of disunion" He then considers
the different modes Of redress proposed, in the
following order
! l. Continued remonstrances BY the people and
BY the constituted authorities Of the State.
9. An exercise OF the reserved right Of the
State, by the annu!ment, Or notification Of the
obnoxious law.
S. A Southern Convention.
4. A Convention Of the people OF the State
by delegates invested with power to determine
the mode Of redress.
: The first he rejects as totally inefficient. The
e second, which includes the doctrine of Nullhca-
ton, he dismisses in the following terms, as
: "impracticab!e" and dangerous
!; IAN exercise of the reserved right of the
State, by the annument or nullificatlOn OF the
h obnoxious law. ii such power could be deduc-
cd from the Constitution of the United States, or
could be considered as fairly incident to State
c sovereignty, during the continuance OF the con
r fedeiacy, would merit consideration; but with
great respect for the intelligence, and the iull-
est confidence in the patriotism of many OF those
5 BY whom it is advocated, have been led to the
conclusion that it is impracticabe, and that ITS
5 tendency WI, be to precipitate result, which
/ all would unite to deplore."
The project Of Southern Convention he also
dsmisses as equally exceptionablc, because. 1t 1t
is not armed with the necessary powers to repre-
sent the State sovereignty, it would be power
less; and, otherwise. its organization would be
contrary to the federal constitution.
lie finally concludes BY recommending State
Convention, not interfering, in his Judgment,
with the ordinary authorities Of the State nor
pledged to any particular mode of redress and
free to consider the whole subject.
By the following from Rome, 1t appears thai
the whole of the Bonaparte family are assem-
bling there. The voyage Of the Count de Sur
viliers to Europe had perhaps some view to this
object.
