taken their places in her. Before she left Loadsr
Queen Adelaide went ON board Of her, and engaged

Of honor, who coming out with a large retnue ia
New York next spring. Gods what time we shall
have We Yankees will treat the maids of honor
better than Lady Flora Hastings was treated, and
send them all back with appropriate certificates too;
unless steam plays the very devil with them and us
too. Webb intends to be presented to the ex-Queen,
to make mp for his late disappointment. We shall
yet live to see steam make America monarchy or
Britain republic.
0s- The French brig Of war is still in our waters,
and will remain some days We visited Der on MON
day, and were highly delighted with the beauty OF
the vessel, the neatness and excellent trim OF her
internal arrangements and the courtesy of her gal
liant officers. This is, however, no more tEan we
might have expected from the Of la gsande ma
fion, overbal over the world alike for bravery,
galIantry, generosity and courtesy AT five o'clock
small party, of which we were so fortunate as to
form an unit, sat down to very elegant dinner,
served up in style equal to Delmonico: the wines
were exquisite and recherches, and the iced cham
contrved as to minister to the qualification and de-
light Of the senses We shall visit this elegant YES
sci again and speak Of her more fully. About sun
down, select party Of very beautiful ladies con-
nected with the French Consulate came on board to
see to hear to learn, and to admire the vessel the
guns the water the sasrs, the gallant officers and
the tout ensemble salute Of twenty one guns was
fired whilst thew were on board which at first start
led them; bat they soon became reconci,ed to the
sound and one sweet girl seemed anxious to take her
turn at the rammer and sponger BY the bye, let us
ask why a salute was returned, in common cour-
tesy, from the North Carolina!
Yesterday was the FreHchman's trois jouys;
their great day-ther 4th of July; they fired three
2-gun salutes and the least that Commodore Ridge
ley could have done was to have acknowledged It,
Whenever our vessels make any demonstration on
the 18th Of July in French ports, that natien always
courteously returns the salutcs. But Commodore
Rdgeley is too busy to do any thing but quarrel with
the locofocos and issue bulletins thereon. BY the
by will the Commodore tell the exact state of the
battle between him and the Brooklyn locofocos; how
much blood has been shed, and how much powder
expended We pause for reply!
THE PENNY POSTAGE SYsrEM.-There is great
deal of feeling manifested all over France and Eng
land relative 10 the plan OF luz All uhHViu
penny postage system correspondence has been
opened by the Frtnch government with that of the
British relative to introducing the system in France
CORES pondence has also been opened on the part
of the United States Government relative TO this i'm
portant subject; and hope before the year is out
to the plan in the full tide Of successful expe
all over Europe and America. 1t is one Of
the greatest measures Of modern times and fraught
with beneficial consequences TO the middle and
intelligent classes OF all countries, than any thing
that has been brought forward since the Declaration
Of Independence. The system is to be adopted in
England and France without doubt, and there is
why it should not be instantly adopted in the
United States. 1t is seized hold VI with eagerness
by all the intelligent and enterprisng commercial
Of Europe and must not be lost sight Of 10y the
commercial interests Of this city and country. This
system is to do away with all the franking privileges
the cash system is to be adopted; and all persons,
the officers of the government, are to pay fer
their hostages in advance. This will do away with
all the loss arising from dead letters; and will
prevent the sending of impudent letters, for the
sake Ct annoyance, in paying heavy postage BY all
means let US have the penny cash postage system;
and we call on Amos Kendall to report favoraby on
the subject TO the next Congress, and thus comPen
safe for some Of his sins.
