The attack has been resumed on the
same points as yesterday, and can on again
thunder behind Fort San Pancrazia. The
Palazza Spaza, Palazza Madarna and the
Church of Sante Sabina on the Aventine
already show the effect of the enemy S
shells. The damage will be, no doubt,
frightful before the destructive labor is
over.
tremendous storm of thunder and
lightning just now adds the warning ele-
ments to that of man, and the scene is aw-
fully grand. The quarter Fraustevere,
which was bombarded on the 5th, has been
almost destroyed. Oudinot had summon
ed the Romans to surrender by the 9th. or
that an assault would be made on the city
that evening.
The journals are void of any further
statement as to defeat or retreat of the
French.

Annexation of Canada.

A Toronto correspondent of the Roches-
ter Daily Advertiser, confesses his positive
conviction that a majority of the people of
Canada are willing tie be annexed to the
government of the United States. His
language, it will be seen by the following
extract, is very decided:
Il believe the time to have arrived when
annexation could be effected if ii depended
upon majority of the Canadians. l have
come to this conclusion by mixing with
all classes of society, and by close obser-
Yation. You cannot enter the house OF
any well informed man in Canada, and
broach the subject of politics, but annexa-
ton is spoken of as cure for all our pre-
sent mistortunes, and the fact is, that until
we have annexation we shall have no
peace, no prosperity or safety in the pro-
vince.

Last Hours OF Mr. Polk.

The following letter, describing the last
hours of the late Ex-President of the Uni
ted States, is from the New \ ork Herald:
NASHVILLE, June l6, lS49.
Having taken up his abode here, the
Ex-President gave himself up to the i'm
provement of the grounds, and was seen
every day about his dwelling, aiding and
directing the workmen he had employed.
Now overlooking a carpenter, now giving
instructions TO a gardener, often attended
by Mrs. Polk, whose exquisite taste con-
stituted the element of every improvement.
1t is not fortnight since, that | saw him
on his lawn directing some men; who
were removing decaying cedars. | was
struck with his erect and healthful bear
ing, and the active energy of his manner,
which gave promise of long life. His
flowing gray locks made him appear be-
yond the middle age of life. He seemed
in full health. The next day, being rainy,
he remained within and began to arrange
his large library; and the labor of reach
ing books from the floor and placing them
on the shelves, brought on fatigue or slight
fever, which the next day assumed the
character of disease in the form ofchronic
dlarrhG, which was with him complaint
of many years standing, and readily in
duced upon his system by over cxertion
For the three first DAYS, his friends felt
no alarm. But the disease battling their
skill, (and for skilfui physicians, Nash
vile will compare with the first cities in
the Unlon,) DIR. Hay his brother-in-law,
and family physician for twenty years,
were sent for from Columbia. But the
skill and experience of this gentleman, aid
ed by the highest medical talent, proved of
no avail Mr.. Polk continued gradually
to sink from day TO day. The disease
was checked upon him four days before
his death but his constitution was so weak
ened, that there did not remain recupera-
tive energy enough in his system for heal
thy reaction. He sunk away so slowly
and insensibly, that it was light hours be-
fore he died, after the heavy death-respira-
ton commenced. He died without a
struggle, simply ceasing to breathe, as
when deep and quiet sleep falls upon a
weary man.
About an hour preceding his death. his
venerable mother entered the room, and
kneeling by his bedside, offered up a beau
tiful prayer to the king of kings, and
Lord of lords, committing the soul of her
son TO his holy keeping. The scene was
strikingly impressive. Major Polk, the
Presidents brother, was also by his bed
side, with other members of his family.
Upon the coffin was plain silver plate,
with these words: 81. X. Polk. Born No
vember, l795. Died June, Is, Is49.''
The body lies in state to day. The
noble drawing rooms are shrouded In
black, and every window in lnournne

A Lone RUNAWAY MATCH.-A letter
from New York to the Philadelphia Inqui-

German girl, accompanied by Pole, also
good looking, were presented to the May
or by an interpreter, (neither of them
could speak word of English,) but the
interpreter made known to his honor the
object of their visit to him, which was to
request him to join them in the holy bands
ofmatrimony. Our amiable mayor, after
satisfying himself that all was right, acted
as they desired, and the twain are now
one. 1t appears they both eloped; that

Closing of the CreVaSSe.

The great Sauve crevasse. at New Or
leans, was nearly closed on the Goth inst,
and we learn by dispatch, dated on the
.2Ist, that the water had been entirely
stopped on that day. The breach having
been closed up, all to about 30 feet in the
middle, through which the water flowed
to the depth of 5 feet, heavy timber
gate had been made to drop down and
close up the remainder of the breach
The Bee thus describes the closing scenes:
AT o'clock in the evening, the arrange
ments were all completed, and the ropes
which sustained the powerful breastwork
at each end having been severed at Civ
en- signal, the huge mass settled itself a.
gainst the piling at an angle of about 45
degrees. This was the great crisis of the
undertaking, for if the piling had failed to
resist the terrible shock, all was over
Scarcely had the barrier reached the bot
tom, before the mad current, suddenly inn
peded in. its course, overleapt the timber
work some SIX feet above the water, and
poured a complete cataract across. For
few minutes, the gentleman in charge oi
the works, as well as every laborer on the
spot, held their breath-it seemed as il
the destruction of the entire pile was inev.

barrier, the handiwork of man triumphed
over the fierce waters, and the sullen

from an American at Rome, which says
''The people are unanimous in favor OF

Our Telegraphic dispatches give good general
outline Of the ten days history Of Europe brought
by the america. On the whole, the aspect Of
affairs is encouraging, though still clouded, in
some quarters, by doubt and uncertainty. 1t ISIS
common thing 10 hear Of cities barricaded and
kings dethroned, that we feel an unusual relief at
receiving news which are at sllranquilizing.
In France. the great crisis has passed, and the
orgsnizs alton OF the Republic is virtually complet
ed, 20 far as its present form is concerned. The
Inauguration OF President NAPOLEON was per
formed simply and unostentatiously, and with
more cheerful compliance on the part Of the Op-
position than we had anticipated. The new Presi
dent has thus far acted with much prudence and
moderation but the most difficult part of his task
is yet 10 come The formidable opposition Of the
Assembly is to be met and, should he remain faith
ful to his republican declarations, the hostility Of
the Legitimists and Orleanists. The party Of the
National, however, shows a willingness 70 pre-
serve civil quiet at all hazards and the prospect
Of repose and restored commercial activity is so
grateful to the people, after their painful expe-
rence Of Revolution, that there is little reason 70
apprehend another political CONFUSION. The Re
public is no longer an experiment in France.
In Italy, things remain in stain quO. The Pope
is at Gsets, and the Deputies are at Rome. From
present appearances there is no probability Of a
speedy compromise between the two parties the
conditions demanded by the former are too exact
ing and the latter find it difficult TO recede from
the bold stand they have taken. We must, how
ever, make considerable allowance for the &c
counts which reach us.
The principal item OF interest from Central
Europe, is the war between Austria and Hun
gary. The occupation Of Presburg, the old i'm
perial city OF the Huns, by no means decides the
question. The strong passes and dehles Of the
Carpathans will yet witness many savage strug
gle with the implacable Magyarhordes, and unless
sooner settled by treaty or compromise, the wal
will cost an immense amount OF blood and treasure
70 Austria.
