A correspondent of the New York

lin, states that the Prussian Government
has refused to grant the usual Exequator
10 Mr. Graebe, recently appointed U. S.
Consul for the Prussian- Rhenish Prov
inces, on the ground that he is not sub
iect of Prussia. The American Minis.
lister. Mr. Donelson. was informed that
the King would not receive any Ameri.
can citizen as United States Consul in
the RheDsh Provinces, but that he want
ed our Government to appoint Prussian
subject in bis place. This is a singular,
aud somewhat offensive request, which
il is not al all likely our Government will
be willing TO accede to.

New Fork Legislature.-Some doubt
has been thrown over the political COM
plexion Of the New York Legislature. by
variations in the returns. The Tribune
has obtained accurate returns from every
county, and says of them:
Two Wings and two sort-of Loco Fo-
cos are elected to the Assembly from
Oneida county. Onondaga sends one wing
and three Locofocos, as we have for some
time reported. Suffolk elects both the To-
coiocos-the lowest John l.. Smilh) by
1877 majority; while Ulster elects both
Wings. the lowest by one majority. This
gives us GO Wings and 4 Ann-Renters
who were and are Wings in the Assem-
bly-72 in all, against Sc others of all
sorts, ensuring Wing majority on Joint
Ballot, which has not ill now been GER
tain. We believe part of The AMI. Rent
members who were formerly Locofocos,
will regard with favor the new State AID
minis,raion.
Our official returns also put the adop.
ton Of the amended Constitution utterly
beyond doubt. We think It's majority can.
not fall below $4,000 and may reach
100000.

The spirit vanly tries,
To reassume its morning wings
And seek its native skies
The solemn dark to penetrate,
To grasp the magnet realm Of fate,
AnG through the clouds to SCI
Shake off the lowly worlds control,
Assume, assert, and feel the soul,
Triumphant in its prize
The treasure. free from stain of earth,
That proud dominion lost at birth:
And thus we love the painless shore,
By oceans waste Of flood;
And listen 10 his solemn roar,
With sad and thoughtless mood;
And DER the rocks, and by the caves,
Where winds make sounds ike rolling waves,
And on the mountains brood;
As il some sudden voice might swell,
From bilowy deep or bosky dell,
To soothe the anxious food;
To quell tn c doubt and anxious sense.
With CLEANS Of bright intelligence.
There mid the awful strife, alone!-
A mighty voice hear;
An unknown sound OF thrilling tone,
That strikes my heart with fear;
But frees me from the lowlier press,
OF human feelings numberess,
And every human care;
My spirit takes the eagles wing,
Among the rolling clouds / spring,
And all their hnes share;-
Visions Of glory crowd my sight,
And WOO me to an equal flight!
These bring me loftiest fancies now;
lit my heart and head;
Gods burning eye is on my brow,
His bow is DER me spread:-
| tremhle at no human shrine,
No idol form takes prav'r of mine;-
The signs around me shed,
Glow with the God who sets me free;-
These are his mighty altars!-see,
His trophies bright and dread;
Columns and rocks, that, trembling, stand
And oceans tumbling from his hand.

An accent of the sea,
When angry storms go forth in pride.
And marshal'd navies flee;
hear him in that thunder-tone,
Whose echoes make the mountains groan,
As toiing to be frte;-
Dread glimpses meet me through the spray
That ramps like lion, rash for prey,
Beneath his forest tree!-
The God is in that fearful view;
trace him in yon rainbow tool
Upon the awful verge, stand
| crouch, but look not down;
Quick beats my heart, as if twerc bann'd,
Beneath a masters frown:-
The cries assai me from below,
A chorus Of eternal wo,
A He'll extorted groan!
Down pours the food, unceasing still,
While all the solid mountains thrill,
With terrors not their own!-
The abyss yells out in wild despair
God. thou hast chained thy rebels there,
A wonder, mix'd wits dread, informs
The spirit of my dream;
As crcled by this realm Of storms,
I shrink to hear their scream;
Yet, as | watch that awful show,
Shines out the many winged bow,
Beneath the morning gleam;-
Oh. sign Of promise still that stands
The woven of eternal hands,
How should we love thy beam,

The last Gazette in lamenting over the
defeat of the loco foco party throughout
the Union and in some portions of Iowa
in particular, proposes few grave ques-
tons for the consideration of its party, of
which. we suppose the following is the
most important, being the first: "It is
the duty of every democra, TO ask himself
why he is one. IL it is because that par
~ is in the ascendency and he desires a
loaf or fish, the sooner he leaves and
goes home to the wings the better. Let
him return to his fathers house."
We presume that the people have been
considering the matter, and have Justly
come to the conclusion that "loco foco-
ism" is not democracy, and moreover, that
there are too many in the aforesaid party,
who "desire the loaves and fishes" and
"nolhing else." They have further dis
covered that but few of the party are al
lowed to have any thing to do with the
"loaves and fishes" We allude to the
aris,ocracy of that party, alias, the "fa-
vored few" In consideration of these
and many other weighty matters. they
have determined to "re,urn to their fa-
theirs house, where they can obtain plen-
,y. and to spare. Again, the Gazette in
the same article holds forth as follows
"Let them compare the democratic
creed of equal rights and equal privileges
to all-of universal right of suffrage to
every free man, with the wing creed of
exclusive rights and privileges 70 the few,
rich and well born, and restriction of the
RICH, Of suffrage to those who possess a
certain amount of property, and the wing
doctrine, that sit is wicked for the poor
TO cote awoy THE RICH MANS MONEY"
We do not wish to accuse the editor Of
the Gazette of intentional falsehood-on
the contrary we believe he has mixed and
misapplied words and doctrines, Till he has
completely turned things upside down;
until confusion and up-roar reigns to such
an extent, that he is unable to discrimin-
ate The true position his party occupies.
TO say that the whig party entertain the
views he attributes to them, is utterly
false. and he kno VS. it to be so. No sane
man, unless he INTENDED TO misrepresent,
would make such a declar2ton. we 90
not notice this article of the u azehe be-
cause we fear that any one will believe H.
but simply TO show the proneness of the
loco foco press to falsehood

Later From Death OF
Major Lear-Gen. Wool on his way 10
MISUNDERSTANDING.
The steamship Massachusetts arrived
at New Orleans on the 10th inst, from
Brazo Santiago, which place she left on
the 18th. Among her passengers was
Capt. LAMoTTE, Of the lst infantry, who
was severely wounded at Monterey, but
who. the Picayune says, was in fine spir-
lis and doing well.

py to find him in the finest spirits, and he
is doing well. Mr. Kennedy, attached TO

Capt. Lamotte left Monterey on the Sd
inst. and our private advices come down
10 the I'd The gailan. Maj LEAR, of
the Sd Infantry, has died of his wounds.
He was buried on the LIST inst.
Gen. Wool had communicated with
Gen. Taylor on two occasions. 1t would
appear that the former has detached one
thousand men from his command 10 take
possession Of Monelavo. and with the
other two thousand proceeded on his
march TO Chihauhau. 1t seemed to be
regretted that Gen. Taylor. from motives
perhaps of delicacy, refrained from inter
ferlng in any way with Gen. Wool's
plans. 1t is conceded that the latter's
troops can be more serviceable south of
Chihauhau, which does not require so
large force for its subsection.
We have no definite knowledge of Gen.
TayIor's plans, but may state that the
prevailing impression among his officers is
that Tampico is 10 be the next point.
The Kentucky Cavalry. still near the
mouth of the San Juan, were expecting
daily to receive orders TO march in thai
direction. The Tennessee Cavalry ar
rived at Fort Brown about the 9 h inst,
and were also expecting TO leave immedi-
a,ely for Tampico. Common reports
still assigns Gen. Patterson to this com.
mand.
From Monterey we learn from an au-
thentic source. that nothing Of public
interest had transpIred since our last dates
Mr. McLane, bearer of dispatches from
Washington, passed through Matamoros
on the 9Th inst, and was expected to
reach Monterey on the 10Th.

yesterday received after our main news
from the Army was made up, letter from

ton of it in relation TO Bustamente we

extracts from the letter, which is dated:
