THE New CHUTE AT RACcoURCI.-It is stated
by the Point Coupee Echo of the 29th ult, that the
:" Raccourci cutoff is now complete. The largest
class Of steamboats, pass through, up and down,
without any difficulty. 1t is about 400 yards wide,
and the banks constantly caving.' ''We have
been told,'' continues the Echo, "by an eye-wit-
ness that the largest trees in the forest will go down
root foremost, and the tops of them will disappear.
The Natchez, in passing through on Thursday,
cast her lead, and could not find bottom: This
is, truly, a work of astonishment, and the State,
and in fact, the inhabitants of the Valley of the
Mississippi, greatly indebted for this great i'm
provement, to the interchangeable eYertions Of our
State Engineer, III. T. Williams, and to the con-
tractor Daniel Hoard, whose skill has already been
tested, an engineer, in putting in operation the
West Feliciana Railroad. The distance, say %
miles, in the old channel, a common running steam
boat would be three hours in going round and now,
we are told, that fast boat can run through the
cutoff in ten minutes up, and in two minutes
down, thus'saving two hours and fifty minutes and
the wood that a large boat would burn in the DIFF
ference of the time, would be nine cords, which,
at So 80 per cord would amount TO 1922 so, so that
very large steamboats, will save that amount and
the time specified The expenses of large boat
are about S. per hour

AN INCIDENT OF PARTISAN CHARACTER
Among other incidents of the noblest generosity
and selt-denal tits automatically related that when
the revoutionists who won the Republic for France
had forced their way into the Palais Royal, and
had reached the apartment of Gen. Athalie, one of
Louis Phlippe's aid-de-camps, they encountered
the Generals lady, woman OF dignifed deport-.
ment and stature, whom the General had espoused
for her rare beauty, being but the daughter of
poor fisherman of Granville. My friends she
exclaimed, &c l trust you have not come here to
offer any injury to myself or husband. am not
one of your fine ladies', but daughter of the
people l throw myself then confidently on your
protection. But l will not leave my husband he

struck with the boldness of the appeal. They re-

during those most glorious three days.

of our most fashionable hotels, yesterday. After
calling for jueps for two, they invited third COM
panion to join them. FL seemed little timid, but
really he was pretty lad He stated that he
would take a ''little lemonade with some port wine
young gentleman, which made some of the elder
b'hoys shrewdly suspect that he was g'hai To
illustrate the truth of the supposition, he spilled
little wine on the counter and wiped italp with his

animal out of the reticule instanter, and the trio

The ASPECT OF PAR1s.-We extract the follow.
ing from late Paris correspondence of the London
Daily News:
ssIn the general aspect of Paris, the thing that
strikes the eye of the observer is the total abb
sence of military and especially of the Municipal
Guard, horse and foot, who formed so prominent a
feature in the Paris thoroughfares. The duty of all
the guard-houses, as well as of the theatres and
public places of amusement in general, is still per-
formed by the National Guard. Repeated attempts
have been made by the Government to mingle with
them the regular troops, but this has been hitherto
unsuccessful, except at few posts little frequented
by the populace. The populace has raised its voice
against the return of the military to Paris and they
now reign supreme. The public buildings and
churches are all inscribed in CONSPICUOUS manner,
with the words Liberte, Eglalle, ct Fraternie, and
the tri-coored flag is invariably hung from the sum-
nit Wherever the name of Louis Philippe has
been inscribed, as for example, the obesk in the
Place de Ia Concorde, it has been efaced, and the
above words substituted for it. His portraits and
busts, which had been previously placed in all pub
lie offices, museums, and other establishments, have
been removed. The insignia of the charter, erected
in the theatres and over the doors Of public esab
lslments, have been also taken down.

The LATE GALE.-Among other damages done
by the gale at the North, mentioned two or three
DAYS since in our columns, we learn through the
Cleveland Paindealer, that the steamer Oregon, on
Lake Erie. while off Grand River. had her smoke
pipes blown down, and not daring to make port
she nut out into the Lake-when thirty miles out,
she unshipped her rudder in surge, and was lett
to the sport of the winds and waves. Night came
on. the wind increased and the sea broke over her
decks; stoves doors, furniture and freight generally
were tumbled to and fro with destructive force and
confusion. There were sixty passengers, and all
regarded their condition hopeless. Thus passed the
terrible night. In the morning they found them
selves off Cleveland. and the wind subslding, the
rudder was shipped steam got up, and they came
into portin safety, We may expect advlces OF ad-
dtional disasters.

mill owned by Mr.. John A. keedy, situated four

fire on the 2lst ult, including all their contents,

CONTINENTAL WAR IN EURoPE.-On the prob
abilities of war upon the Continent of Europe,
the London Telegraph makes the following re-
marks:
90. Unless stray bullet, the weapon of some
fanatic of liberty, oEthe hand of overrlilng Proyi-
dente, shall remove the Emperor Nicholas from the
scene, and prepare the way for revolution III Rus
sia, the prospect of fierce and devastating war,
one of the most fearful that has ever befalen ht-
manity is before us. The immediate cost OF this
struggle must be great in blood, in treasure and in
the happiness of this generation But the issue,
although it may be protraced, will not be doubtful
Russia may support Austria to retain her cruinbng
power, and these two may make head for a while;
but Poland restlscitated Italy made free, Germany
united France revolutionized, and Great Britain,
by the will of her people, ranged in support of free
dom aud the new ideas of Europe, must all act to-
gether What chance will despotism have against
the last war-a peace more durable must follow the
next. The new settlement of Europe must be
founded upon true, not upon false princples-upon
the interests of the people, not upon the systems OF
kings. And if despotism will fight in the mean
time. despotsm most assuredly will fare badly in
the battle and sooner later be driven from Europe
to take refuge n-nore congenlal Asia.
