THE SERsvApE TO FASSY ELssLER.-There was
a serenadc given to Mademoiselle Elssler about one
O'Clock Saturday morning last, by number Of
vocal and instrumental performers and there
another sereRade given between enc and two o'clock
yesterday morning, by some splendid vocal per-
formers, 1.-THE Euerpeian singers, believe) which
came off in an admirable manner. But neither Of
these had any connection with the grand serenade
contemplated by her own countrymen.
In relation to this latter affair, very large and
highly respectable body ef the Germans waited en-
Mayor varian a few days since, and told him that
they very much wished to give the intended scrc-
made and asked his protection. The mayor said
he deeply regretted the former act Of rufhanism and
rowdyism; that he, too, wished them to give the
serenade and that he would them all the pro-
lection which the city authorities could possibly
afford them.
Highly elated with this pledge from Mayor Varian
land knowing that their 2 800 Iocofoco registered
votes would be Of sufficient value TO his party ext
fall 4. ensure the compliance with his promise the
Germans then waited on rsmisble on la bonnie Fan
nv, on Monday and told her that it their inten
ton to give the grand serenade to her on Tuesday
yesterday at midnight under the auspices Of his
honor the Mayor, who had promised the party his
especial protect
She was at first, sstonished at this determination;
but soon reque them especial mark oftheir
good feeling for her, they would desst from their
intentiop, and postpone il sine die. She added, in
eloquent Language, that IL would be lasting
Of regret her should any tumult any unpleasant
consequences ensue and that she hoped to have
other "reminiscences Of America than the pleasing
ones that had already accumulated so sbundautly
upon her.
The Germans were most intensely excited
They had determined 10 have the serenade; they
declared that they wosld die rather than submit TO
the rufhsnly dictation Of few miserable rowdies
and soaplocks. They talked great deal Of their
amour propre-and of the senselessness of the out
rage; ihst their honor compromised and that
they would die rather than give up the point for
which they had hitherto contended.
In short, the Germans appeared obdurate and inn
movable, for time. But la belle Fanny talked up
to them, and with the earnes,ness Of her ren.on-
strances, and the winning grace Of her GESTURES she
totally the obdurste and s,oical Ger
mans. II was rich treat to behold this scene
Their excited feelings, under her winning words
brought the quick blood to their cheeks they lump
ed mp passonstely from their seats at last and de.
clsrcd that for her sake they would abandon the se
renade, and, II necessary, abandon their party and
the city, or do any thing earth that she wished
them 10 do. And So they parted.
The serenade then, by them, will never be given.
But is IL not shame, that it should go forth to the
world that Insignificant gang Of rufhsns can Iic-
tate to the balance Of the people of New York
