TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.


We received by telegraph, last evening, the
most important political document that has been
issued for great length of time. 1t comes to
US in the shape of letter or manifesto from
Henry Clay, dated Ashland, and furnishes us
with the views of that state sman respecting his
position towards the whg party in regard to the
nomination for the next Presidency. II seems
that MIR. Clay has finally decided to accept the
nomination if rendered to him by the wing
national convention. The reasons he assigns
for this determination are manifold-but are
based mainly upon the presumption that his
prospects for success are more promising and
brilliant than heretofore. The letter ITSELF how
ever, will be found below, and we commend 1t
to the careful attention of our readers.
Another important political movement trans
plred at Albany yesterday. After the adjourn
ment OF the Legislature, the democratic men,
bers met in caucus, and adopted an address and
resolutions recognizing the Wilmot proviso and
other doctrines of the John Van Buren, wing Of
the democracy of this State
Clay festival, attended by thousand per-
sons, came off in Philadelphia, yesterday. The
whole affair passed off with the greatest harmo
ny and enthusiasm.
The proceedings in Congress, yesterday, were
unusually varied and interesting-a report OF
which, together with the final business of the
Legislature of New York, and other matters,
are contained in the suboined dispatches.

CHEvALrKR GAILLARDET's LAST WoRDs AND
DYING SPEECH -Chevalier COLLABORATION he
still wears the cross of honor conferred on him
by Louis Philippe, for his interchangeable fidelity
to that unfortunate monarch-says some very
silly things, but rather amusing, in his last
words and dying speech, before he retired from
the press, with little fortune of fifteen thousand
dollars in cash, and mortgages for thrty-fve
thousand dollars more. In reply to us he lets out
some queer secrets connected with the manage
ment OF the Astor Pace Opera. Help yourself
to glass of water, and listen.
It seems that at one time during the recent
season., it was a question OF great importance
and one that was warmly debated by the leaders
OF fashion and the Opera, whether they should,
for the stric ures made on the Management,
hiss us on some particular evening, or give the
printing Of the Opera bills to the office attached
to this establishment Hi, ha ! ha
From the OPP ming OF the season up to the close
OF the first half, We never hesitated to speak our
opinion, opsnly, decidedly and justly--on the
conduct of the managers, the committee, the
singers, and all concerned in its aft .irs. We
believe the liberty of the press exists in New
York We probably did them more good, and
created a greater excitement TO hear them, than
any other journal In this city. Yet these
men of remarkable wisdom got up the important
question whether it was better to hiss us or give
us the printing And we further learn, that after
along deba,c-and perhaps very much like that
which occurred in the Chamber of Deputies on
the question Of a regency or a repubio-they
agreed to give the printing instead of the hiss
ing In this decision they displayed come good
sense, because in making such revolutionary
attempt in such place as the Opera the first thing
the hissers might have received, light have been

Ter that they never dreamed Of However, it

ing as we do Tor their printing, and they can
take away or give either at any time they please.
We have some curiosity to know, however, who
the parties are who voted for the hssing--it is
easy to give those who voted for the printing--

Gailardet, it is said, is going to France, with
the view of becoming member of the National
Convention, and of assuming the role of great
statesman in that important body. We suppose
this to be the case, from a number of COM
munications we have received from his coun-
trymen, assailing him very bitterly, which
the writers expected we were going to pub
lish but we will do no such thing. Al
though it was heartless and ungrateful in he
Chevaller to insult poor Louis Philippe in his
misfortune, yet it would oe equally unwise and
illiberal not to allow the new convert to demo-
cracy an opportunity 10 show his capacity and
patriotism when he returns to has native coun-
try, and presents himself as a candidate for the
National Assembly. Galllardet has received some
information, and much instruction, in practical
republicansm, as well as in good manners,
from the columns of the Herald, and he may be
able to transplant some Of the ideas which he
received In this way, with benefit and advantage
to his countrymen in France. He has some Ia
lent, but little judgment. He possesses not much
perception Of the highest order of right and
wrong, either In morals or in politics. but he
may improve by time and money. Yet he may
make an important member of the National Con.
vention, and we hereby advise some of the
French constituencies to elect him to that body +.
He may also be enabled, through his influence,
to retain and keep in Office the present occupant
OF the consulate in this city, against whom we
have no il.feeling hatcver; but rather wish that
he may be retained by the provisional govern
ment, In spite of all attempts by Gaillardet to
represent US as possessing different feelings
With these remarks we close this subject.
