The news from France is of an exciting charac-
ter The most stormy debate ever known, even
IN French Parliamentary annals had taken place
in the Legislative Assembly, upon the proposition
of the question for appointing an armed force
Iof the protection of the Assembly The project
If carried, would have had the effect of exciting
civil war, inasmuch as the Legislative would
have arrayed against the executive powers. a
military force, and a collision must have resulted
the end of which no one can foresee The mea-
sure was, however, rejected by a majority of
one hundred and eight votes, and thus Louis
Napoleon and his Ministers completely tri
umphed- 1t was understood that if the vote had
been carried, the President would have instantly
taken steps TO render it nugatory; in fact coup
de efat was actually contemplated by Louis Ma
poleon, which if successful, land there is little
doubt bat it would have succeeded would have
settled the question of French politics altogether
for the present, and established either military
dictatorship or the Empire
The National Assembly has so lost ground by
its ahortive intrigues against the President that
his position is now pronounced by his bitterest
opponents, for the moment to be stronger than
ever it was since his election, and appearances
seem to justify the belief, that unless he is gull
ty of some act of indiscretion, nothing can pre-
vent his reelection to the Presidency. even if
some certain and perpetuated appointment be
not conferred upon him ruler of the destinies
of France. The rage and hostility of the several
factions of the Assembly are, however, un-
bounded, and it is hard to say what may be the
next phase in the conflict coming on.
All important operations in commerce appear
TO have been suspended in Paris, in consequence
of the uncertainty which existed relative to the
difference between the executive and legislative
powers. The principal merchants and manufac-
tureFs were beginning to feel uneasy at this
situation of affairs, and the orders generally
given at the conclusion of the year were with
held The number of foreigners was daily in
creasing in Paris, and the shop keepers were be-
ginning to complain. The manufacturers of the
provinces were complaining. Affairs were some
what better at Lyons, where large orders had
been received from the United States. The ex-
hibition of manufactures, which Che Americans
are organizing in New York, to be held next
spring, had given increased activity for specula-
ton In the French grain and wine markets
there was no change of Importance.

KOsSuth's Appearance.

The New York Tribune gives the following
minute description of the distinguished Hunga-
rian -
Governor kossuth is rather taller than we had
supposed, and his face has an expression of
penetrating intellect which is not indicated in
any portrait we have seen, 1t is long, the
forehead broad, but not exceedingly high, though
slight badness makes it seem so, and the chin
narrow, but square in its form. His hair is
thin in front and of dark brown; as is his
beard, which is quite long, but not very thick,
and arranged with neatness and taste. His
eyes are very large and of light blue; his
complexion is pale like that of a man who is
not in perfect health, and his appearance yes
terday was that of the spirit bearing up against
the exhaustion of the body; he was sea sick
during the passage and had not slept for two or
three nights. His manner in speaking is at once
fneomparably dignifed and graceful Gestures
more admirable and effective and a play of
countenance more expressive and magnetic, we
remember in no other public speaker He
stands quite erect and does not bend forward
like some orators, to give emphasis to a SEN
tence- His posture and appearance in repose
is imposing not only from their essential grace
and dignity, but from sense of power they
impress upon the beholder. This>se of un-
! used power, this certainty that he is not making
an effort and doing his utmost, but that behind
all this strength of fascination, there are other
treasures of strength, other stores of ability
not brought into use, possibly never brought
into use, is perhaps what constitutes the supreme
charm of his oratory. He speaks as if with lit
tie preparation, and with that of peculiar fresh

Letters from the West of Ireland a, &c of = de-

that quarter of the country, at least the people
are recovering from the fearful effects of the
three years successive failure of the staple cron
OF food and the crushing poor rates. that as n
consequence involved all classes Of the cormu-
nIty IN one genral ruin. The abundance of this
years harvest has already effected much towards
the readjustment Of the relation which had
heretofore subsisted between the owner and &C.
eupier Of the soil. Rents, according to the au
thority Of these letters; were never more prne-
tuaIly or cheerfuly paid than they have been
within the last month in the counties of Sligo
and Roscommon. The prices of cattle and live
stock of all kinds have not ruled so high for the
last twenty years, and the result is that the
farmer is enabled to meet all his engagements
without trenehing on his grain crops. which can

Judging from the tone of the Continental advi-
ees it appears probable that these speculations

By any haggard dry, and withered witch,
who lived on birthstone boiled in burning pitch
And, with her fiery eyes and mumbling twaddIe
Did summon to her aid some devilish power.
And rise to where the black and gusty cloud
Rolls forth its thunder in the midnight hour
Hast ever seen sights neer before allowed
To earthly things?'' Then answered Broom

To soar beyond where furious whirlwinds blow:
For was used by vexatious scold,
Who banged her 'help-mate with me day by

UaynaE, the Woman EyE,Ipper.

y letter from Vienna, (Austria, dated 9th
November, says that Field Marshal Haynau has
found it impossible TO keep the landed estates
which he purchased in Hungary with the sum
of money presented to him by the Emperor.
His desire to part with it is announced to arise
from the absence of labor, and the difficulty Of
procuring it from other parts of the country 1t
appears that the laborers have refused to work
for their new neighbor. Haynau has failed to
get in a single crop of any kind Everything
has been destroyed by the peasantry, the crops
above and in the ground have been wasted by
fire or other means, the buildings burnt down,
and every method of agrarian outrage adopted
in order TO make the place too hot 70 hold him.
They have succeeded. Haynaus cruel conduct
towards the Hungarians during the recent insur-
recion is thus remembered. He was undoubted-
ly the most relentless tyrant of modern times
His title of 'woman-whipper was gained by
public fogging which he inflicted on highborn
lady who was suspected of favoring the cause of

not felt until you reflect unnn II afY.r,-o.1
his every movement is perfectly easy and he
geS'lcuiates good deal, equally well with Ell
ther arm. Nothing could be more beautiful in
Its way than the sweep Of HE right hand. as it
was raised TO Heaven, when he smoke of tho
Deity Actkng sweeter than the srniIa which
at times niantles his face. His voice is not very
loud, and more eyinced exhaustion than either
his face or his general bearing, but it was heard
distinctly through the large pavilion. On the
whole our previous impression was perfectly
confirmed by hearing him yesterday. Beyond
doubt he is thegreatest of orators now living.
and we shall no. easily believe that in that ca
Pacity he has ever been excelled.
In speaking Kossuth occasionally referred IN
notes which lay on the stand before him. He
was dressed after the Hungarian fashion. in n
black velvet tlnic, single breasted, with stand
ing collar and transparent black buttons. He
also wore an oTercoat or sack of black velvet
with broad fur and loose sleeves. He wore
light kid gloves.
DeueraHy MS English IS fluent and distinct,
with a marked foreign accent, though at times
this is not at all apparent. He speaks rather
slowly than otherwise, and occasionally hesi-
tates for word. His command of the Ian
guage, astonishing as it is in a foreigner, seems
rather the result of an utter abandonment to
his thought and reliance on that to express
itself, than Of an absolute command of the nice
ties of the grammar and dictionary. He evil
IDENTIFY has no fear of speaking wrong, and so,
as by aspiration, expresses himself often better
even than one to whom the language is native
and familiar Though he often uses words
with a foreign meaning, a meaning different
from that We usually give them, he does not
stop to correct himself, but goes on as if there
were no doubt that it would be apprehended
just he meant il.

PIaids again The Fashion.

Tartan is at present all the rage in New
York. The turore for gay colors which has
prevailed for the past year is seotehed, and, will
soon be kilt. The bigger the plaid, for panta-
looms, the more fashionable they are and when
the pattern is of the largest possible mould, it
is decidedly ''the cheese. We saw n tall, lank
individual crossing the Park, few days since,
whose spindle legs were plaided, or paneled,
a gigantic scale. The entire pattern on each Of
his limbs consisted of two uprights and two
cross bars, and looked ike scaffolding put up to
build his legs with, and left standing by the
careless architect. The girls all transform
ing themselves into Gaels; and one scarcely
sees a lady's back that would not answer to play
at draughts upon. In fact, we have never
known life so checkered. The gayest of the
smiling throng have the heaviest crosses. The
reign of the watered silks is entirely over, and
you see no lanes in the streets that are not in
squares A lady, from the waist downwards,
looks like half sphere-a celestial sphere, OF
course-marked with lines of latitude and Ion
gitude. The dry goods stores are besieged by
troops of females in search of tick patterns, and
every wife tell her husband that she must have

PriVafe Fortunes Of some Great
PerSOnages of Ancient Times.

Cr9sus possessed, in landed property a for
tune equal TO eight millions of dollars. besides
large sum of money, slaves, and furniture, which
amounted to an equal sum. He used to say,
that citizen who had not fortune sufficient to
support an army, or a legion, did not deserve
the title of rich man. The philosopher Seneca
had fortune equal to seven millions of dollars
Tiberius, at his death, left one hundred and
seventeen millions Of do lurs which Calicula
spent in less than one year. Caesar, before lie
entered upon any Office, owed fourteen milliors
Of dollars. He purchased the friendship of
Curio for two millions, and that of Lucius Paulus
for one and half millions. At the time of the
assassination of Julius Cesar, antony was in
debt to the amount of one and q half millions Of
dollars; he owed this sum on the ides of March
and it was paid before the kalanis of April; lie
squandered seven hundred ard thirty millions Of
the public treasures Appius squandered in de-
bauchery over two millions of dollars, and find
ing, on examination of The state of his affairs,
he had no more than half million, he poisoned
himself, because he considered that sum INSULT
eient for his maintenance.
