A REMARKABLE DISCLOSURE.
The Late Orleans Monarchy Turned
Inside Out.
A Number of Private Letters of Louis Philippe,
Queen Adelaide and the
EX-ROYAL FAMILY OF FRANCE.

We have received, by the recent arrivals from
France, series of original autographs letters Of
the late Royal Family of France, comprising, also,
letters from his absent ministers-letters which
have never yet seen the light In either hemisphere,
and which make startling disclosures of the prac-
tees and principles Of the late up-torn monarchy
OF France.
These letters were taken from the Tuillerles by
an officer of the National Guards, who entered
the private cabinet of the late King about ten
minutes after his ex-Majesty and the Queen had
emerged from the opposite door, In their flight to
England.
In day or two we shall commence their publ
cation IN French and English, after translations
into the latter language can have been prepared.
These letters make strange revelations, which
will produce much astonishment in France and
Europe One of our agents In Paris has procured
them, at vast expense, for publication III the CO.
lumns of the Mar York Herald.

HE MAGNETIC TxLEoRAPH-The importance
and advantage Of this extraordinary agent for the
Transmission Of intelligence, from point to point,
was never before 30 completely developed as on
Tuesday night. The fables of eastern magic, of
flying horses and omnipotent genii, who could
transport people from Ispahan to Cairo in one
night, all thrown into the shade by the dIscOv-
cries OF quiet Yankee, who has found a method
of Harvesting the lightning and anticipating the
fight of Time himself. Some idea may be formed
of the extraordinary works accomplished by the
magnetic telegraph, from the fact that, before
twelve o'clock on Tuesday night, we had returns
of the election that had taken place during the day
from fourteen States of this Union Before we had
received complete returns from this city, We had
by telegraph, returns from nine other States. The
returns of the ST. LOUIS election were received
here about one hour past midnight, by way Of
Chicago, after travelling distance equal to that
across the Atlantic, and had the line not broken
down south of Fayetteville, and between Pittsburgh
and Philadelphia, we should have had returns In
yesterday mornings Herald from the whole United
States. -
The energy, promptitude, and perseverance Of
the operators on the various lines, cannot be too
highly praised. The arrangements, as will have
been seen by the returns we gave yesterday, were
made with fidelity and exactitude that secured
an accuracy actually astonishing, when the excite
ment of the occasion, the immense quantity OF
business, and the numberless Interruptions to
which the telegraph is liable, are taken into &C.
count AS 1t was, we were enabled, before the
closing OF the day of election, to tell who was the
successful candidate. Such are the gratifying
results of this wonderful discovery.

The New FRENCH Envoy TO THE UNITED

and the first envoy that our sister republic has
sent to our shores, M. Poussin, was presented to
the officers and members of the Historical So.
ciety, at their rooms, In the University. on Tues
day evening last, and made an excellent speech
on the occasion, which will be found in another
part OF this days paper. This speech Is repete
with repubIcanism of the right stamp, as well as
with philosophy, ard gives evidence of deep and
sound thought. M. Poussin paid a handsome
compliment to the United States and our instltu-
tons, with which he is we'll acquainted, having
resided among us for a number of years, and
served In the engineer corps of our army. He is
gentleman and scholar in every sense, and
will be cordially welcomed to the United States
by his many friends His appointment as Envoy
Extraordinary will draw sill closer the cords that
bind together in friendship and amity, the two
great republics of the world.

NEW CHANNEL OF COMMERCE WITH New Mex
Ico AND CALIFoRNA.-India an Point is the name of
town and settlement which has lately sprung
up on Matagorda Bay In Texas. 1t promises to
become place of some consequence and great
trade, and to be the successful rival of Galveston,
over which place It Is described as possessing
many superior advantages. Indian Point will no
doubt eventually become the great emporium of
our commerce with New Mexico and California
Hitherto, great and highly lucrative trade has
been earned on with Santa Fe and New Mexico
by our merchants, established for this purpose at
St. Louis Mo. But when II is considered that
Indian Point, situated as we have above de-
scribed, on Matagorda Bay, and open to the sea,
is distant only 500 miles from Chihuahua, whereas
st. Louis is $500 miles distant from the same
place, 1t Is easy to perceive that st. Louis must
give up the trade to the more favored station
of Indian Point. The land around Indian Point
is described as being rich and fertile, while the
climate is represented as similar In beauty to that
of Italy. One great advantage which this new set
Element issad to possess, and which givesit decl-
ded preference over Galveston and Corpus Christi,
is the greater depth of water In Matagorda Bay.
Steamers, brgs and schooners, can come up to
out difficulty; whereas, at Corpus Christi, the
wharf is quite inaccessible to vessels drawing
over two feet Of water. We believe it Is almost
as bad at Galveston, where the sand bars present
great impediments to navigation Indian Point IS
rapidly settling, chiefly with Industrious, active
German population. We derive the above part-
cuars chiefly from a German source, and have
reason TO hope that no specializing or interested
motives have thrown exaggeration or falsehood
into the fatteripg picture drawn.
But the settlement of this new city, and the en-
terprise which has given birth to it, are equally
shared by the Americans with the Germans and
our own highly favored city has not been slow In
finding out this new channel of trade, and profit
ing by it. Among those merchants who have d.
rected their bold enterprise to this point, we
might mention as the most important, the name
of the well known and respectable wholesale and
retail house OF Mr.. Green, the clothier at the
corner OF Pearl and Chatham streets, In this city.
After supplying, and while still supplying, the citl.
zens of New York, with all kinds of garments, of
wonderful beauty, excellence, and cheapness, such
as we believe unsurpassed by any other cothler
house in New York, Mr.. Green, the head of this
establishment, Is extending his benevolence to the
Texans and Mexcans, and supplying them with
clothes cheaper, and certainly better, than they
have ever had them before. Such is the bold en-
terprise of our New York merchants
