The squeeze of his salHtation was not felt by me as one of cold indifference, but one wLicll was to be the forerunner of lasting friendship. The next thing to be done by the villagers and the people of the surrounding country was to manifest their good wishes for him by inviting him to a most splendid public dinner, which was prepared by my host.-- It would have done honor to the host and hostess of the Boar's Head, a tavern mach famed n ancient time for the luxury of its fare; but, reader, 1t was none too good for so good man. Nothing was left nn- done by the people to make the day hap py one to their distinguished guest. After several patriotic toasts were draniS, tire company broke up in the greates | harn.o- ny and good order.
 My friend (for such shall ever call this great man) left the village the next morning, and did not see him again un- til the summer of the following year. It was at little village on the bank of the Mississippi, in the State of Missouri, that i had the pleasing satisfaction of again meeting with him. Our second meeting was not like the meeting of two who had met but once before in their lives. No; although we were the sons of different clAmes, our meeting proved that a man is man in any country.

 s THE MEMBER OF CONGRESS.
 Great men, like comets, are eccentric in their courses, and formed to do exten- siye good by modes unintelligible to yuI- gar minds. Hence, like those cratic orbs in the Armament, 1t is their fate to be misrepresented by knaves and miscom- prehended by fools; to be abused for all the good they actually do, and to be ac- cused of ills with which they have nothing to do, neither in design nor execution. It was at that season of the year when l the inhabitants of a country village retire to the most pleasant situations of their habitations, to inhale the saIubrious air waited by the evening breeze, that sat
 reclining in my chair under the cool shade of the village tavern porlico. Feeling iatiRueu lfuih the udy laooF as the DOml-

We are not desirous to see high toned federalist and an alder and ahettor in the Hartford Convention, elevated 10 the Pre- s'deney nor arc we desirous to see for the next President, man, who. to obtain that elevation, is wiling to amalgamate himself with all parties. We would rather see a staHnch adherent of the Jefferson system of politics, without regard to sec ilonal residence, mount the helm ofState.
 such would be the difficulties which would surround us. if Jackson were out of the way; but he is the candidate of the people, and they will again elevate him to manage the de8tinies of the nation. He has their full confidence, and his high handed veto will rlyit him deeper in the affections of all who are not under the ie huence of the monied aristocracy.

 France. London, Jug 3.-Thc Court of Cassation, the highest Court of ap- peais known to the laws of France, has decided in the case of Geoffry, the painter, who appealed from the sen tence of the First Council of War, that the whole proceedings are null and void; that the second Council of War, in decreeing their competency 10 try ordinary cases, have violated Act 5 of the Charter, and the sentence is there- Ire quashed, and Geatfry is demanded

 inals. On Friday evening the decis- .on of the Court of Cessation was pro- rnulgaied-ali Paris was in extacy- and on Saturday morning the .5ioniteu4 ushered forth the Royal Ordinance, de- elarng the state of seige at an end.- Thus has Louis Philippe, been com pelled to own his error, with the .huml- Hating conviction that he has sacrificed three fourths of his popularity, and en- dangcred the remainder.
 Ii is reported to the Palace that the arret of the Court of Cessation was carried by a majority of nine to three.
 The same Court in its sitting of the 30th of June, admitted the legality of the appeal of Messrs. Colombat, Has sanfratz, Tiellemans, and DellolIre, against the judgments of the two Coun- cils of War of the First Military Di- vision.
 The decision of the Court of Cassa-. ton is in substance this;-s. .Feenehmenl yoa made a revolution in I7Sa, against absolute power, and you trieHgpbcd; you made Revolution in 1880, against illegality, and you triumphed. These triumphs terminated in the adoption Of new charter; which, as it was made by the people, and for the people, must be read properly, and without notes or comments, as a child Of seven years of age, or a waytaung man, though q fool would read il; this charter assures to you, Frenehmen that yon shall have no pfevotal Gourts-no extraordinary and exceptional Trbunals-and that if you do wrong, you shall be tried by your natural and legal judges; Military Tribunal illegally established, las dar ed 10 judge Frenchmcn and condemn our fellow citizens who may be innocent. or may be guilty, but who aTe at any rate to be presumed 10 be innocent un- til proved to be culpable ;-these tribu- nals must be, therefore, destroyed those who composed them must be told in the face of France that they have Vi plated the charter-and the accused must be sent for trial before their natu. ral judges, their fellow citizenst

From the Louisiana Advertiser.

In looking over file of the Tampi- co Gazette, we find by an cxtraordina- ry mail which arrived at that place on the 18th of July, from San Louis, that the province of Zacatecas had declar- ed tor Santa Anna, and ordered 2000 men toacta as auxiliaries, in conjunction with Gen. Montezuma. and to have ready 4OO0 more to follow his divisions on to the city of Mexico. Official news had also been received that Gen. Mon- tezama was, on the l2th ultimo. within sixteen leagues of San Louis, and that nearly nil the interior provinces had pronounced in favor of the new order Of things; and that in consequence the legislature of Zacateeas. hadassetnbled to assist the national veto, and declare adhesion to Santa Anna and the plan of Vera Cruz, on the l2th July. The ministerial troops which were in the Ndlle del Mais had nearly ali deserted. and gained the second division of the army of liberty, on it's march to the ca pftal. The 'fanpico Gazette says sssVe may now consider the war termi- nated-this glorious news was eelebrat- ed at 'Tampico by salute from all the forts in the city, and the inhabitants were so ovenoyed that nothing was heard but cries of Diuat hbertad-vlvat confeaeration.'
