Recent advices from Madrid give few items of
general interest. Late in July, Don Jose Narvaez
y Porcel, Count of Canado, and father of the Span
ish premier, the duke of Valencia died at Lola.
The deceased was a senator of the kingdom, and
IN other days had played distinguished part in
the history of Spain, but for thirty years had been
victim to general paralysis.
The minister of marine has given orders for the
construction of fifty gun ship at Cadiz, and a
steamer of $50 horsepower at Farrol.
AT Carthagena the brig of-war Exception, as the
Spaniards write Scpio, had been launched, the
first for thirty years from the naval arsenal of that
city.

been organized, and ordered to convene annually

| There has been received at New York a file of
the China Mail, published at Hong Kong, to the
1 Odd of June inclusive. This is the same date to
which advices brought from China by the
Washington, but there found some items in the
papers.
| Intelligence has been received at Hong Kong that
the schooner Torrington, with four hundred chests
of opium board, was totally lost the I'd of June
| on the north bank of the Yang-tze keang-crew
| saved.
| The Mail has great deal to say concerning the
| forcible of Mr.. Summers, from prison at
Macao, by Captain Keppel, of H. B. M. ship Maan
der, of which we have published brief account
| The offence OF Mr.. Summers that, being spec
tator at the passage of sacerdotal procession with
the host, he persisted in wearing his hat, though
quested by the governor (who sent an orderly with
the message) to take it off; whereupon he was ar
rested and taken to the guard house. 1t must be
borne in mind that to the head in presence
of the host required from all in Catholic countries

From the glard-house, it seems, he transfer

| criminal judge. Captain Keppel demanded his re-
lease matter of right, and, the refusal of this
| sent an armed force from his ship, by whom the

Portuguese soldier killed in the ARRAY.
The Mail bhmes the Governor for not releasing
Mr. Summers, after nights detention in the
guard-house, but blames Captain Keppel more &C.
verely for his unlawful action in the matter espe-
cially as it was taken in the known absence of the
Governor, who had gone on board the U. s. ship
Plymouth to see the regatta.
The Governor having officially communicated
the facts to the English Governor, Bonham, at
Hong Kong, 10 the American Commissioner Mr..
Davis, and to the French and Spanish consuls and
to Captain Gesinger, of the Plymouth, their Off
cial replies published the last four gentlemen
expressing regret, &C., and the first merely saying
that he would forward the papers to his govern
ment.
The proceedings of the British assailants-ma-
rines from the Meander, personally commanded by
Captain Stavely, friend of Captain Keppel-ap-
pear to have been very summary and violent On
reaching the prison-which is, in fact, a sort Of
court house, only part of it being used for the de-
tenton of debtors, and the rest comprising various
public offces-they fired repeatedly, though no re-
sistance was made, and several persons had narrow
escapes. One. the soldier above ntonod, was
killed ON the spot, and another was wounded. tits
said, in the Mails account, that they fired without
orders.
On the WHOLE this is likely to prove serious
business for Captain Keppel; especially the Gov
ernor had offered TO release Mr.. Summers, as a ia

a right.

Hungary.

There is now no doubt of the fact that
Hungary has fallen-but one of the gene
rails, Klapka, who yet held out the fortress
of Comorn, being in arms. At the last adj
vices Gorgey and Debofy were prisoners;
Kossuth, BEN and Guyon had escaped; and
Dembinski, Perczel, Vetter, and Aulich,
were, no one knew where. What has
brought about this sudden revulsion of for
tune, IT seems at present impossible to ex-
plain; yet there is little evidence that the
cry Of treason against Gorgey has any thing
to sustain it. That Gorgey is confined in
an Austrian prison proves neither that he
is guilty nor innocent; for his immediate re-
lease would have been too fragrant a con-
fession of corruption for even the Aus
TRAN government, al this time, to have
dared As the"New York Tribune truly
remarks, throughout the war Gorgey has
appeared rather the champion of Hungarian
nationality than of liberal institutions some
thingof selfshness has been evident in all
his acts, as he appears to have been under
the stimulus fpersonal ambition ratherthan
more exalted motives. At the battle OF
Kapolna, after the defeat Of Windisgratz,
Gorgey and his division did not pursue the
retreating enemy, and thus, instead Of be
ing totally destroyed, the Austrian wa,
enabled to recuperate his forces Kossutf
has more than once complained tina
Gorgey was obstinate in pursuing his owl
plans, rather than anxious to obey Tn,
orders sent him. He may have acted il
this manner, and under similar influences

won so high a reputation would hesitat
to fall with his country, in preference {

There is class OF people who are said
to need long memories, but the Union does
not remember what it writes twenty-four
hours together In view of his failing, we
cannot but recommend to our venerable
neighbor to ponder seriously on the advice
which great poet once gave in quiet
way to a man of similar distinction:
-" A place there is TO be kept in view,
Where the fire il red and the birthstone blue,
Morbleul Parbleul
Which he must go to-
II the Pope say true,
II he does not in time look about him."
We would modestly inquire on which of
the above statements the Union intends to
relyl We apprehend both cannot be true.
One informs us that TRUMAN SMITH is
publicly repudiated by the Cabinet. The
other states that he is employed By the CAB
met. One says that the honorable SEN
ator's operations are disavowed, and the
Senator thereby disgraced. The other
says that the Cabinet have again called
10 their aid the services of "their unscru-
pulous and unhesitating tool" These ar
ticles, with their gross inconsistencies,
follow each other at an interval of twenty
four hours.
The character Of Mr.. SMITH is too well
known to the American people to be af-
fected lnjurlously by the infamous libels
OF the Opposition journals. He is every
where justly regarded as q pure, honest,
and disinterested man, who NAV listen to
the calumnies showered upon him un-
moved, with the reflection that "the fool'.
or the villains hatred is the good man.

pride to him, that, saving President TAY
LoR, no man is so grossly vilifed by the
Union a. himself
We feel that it is only an act of iustic,
to Mr.. SMITH, to repeat, in the most EN-
phatlc terms, that he is the last man TO b,
"employed" by the Cabinet or any one
else IN the sense in which that term il
used by the Union. He mingles in public
affairs by virtue Of his rights as an Amer
can citizen, and not at the solicitation o
the Cabinet. We may go further, anc
state that neither the Cabinet nor an,
member of the Cabinet has solicited Mr.
SMITHS aid or presence here, with refer
ence to any public matter whatever; anc
that the lmputation of any interference il

presses his disappointment in not being able to at
tend the great fair
NIAGARA FALLS, September 5.
MY DEAR hope that one in attendance
upon, or in any way interested in your great agri-
cultural meeting at Syracuse, will suffer disap-
pointmcnt proportional to that which experience
in being compelled to renquish the idea of being
present myself.
In addition to the pleasure of meeting vast an
assemblage ofmy felow-citizens, upon an occasion
interesting to all who appreciate the true
of national prosperity and greatness, have been
anticipating qualification and instruction from this
highly favorable opportunity of looking upon the
products, implements, and improvements OF pur-
suit in which have ever taken deep personal in
tcrest.
To attend this Agricultural fair was the promi-
nent object of my visit to your State and until the
last moment have encouraged the idea that shall
do so; but the advice of my medical attendants,
and the claims of business at the capital render it
duty for me to relinquish my wishes upon the
subject. Faithfully and truly,
Il. TAYLOR
