to leave it till it is finished. The internal scene
for the last year and half, until the fall of
Robespiere, has been terrible. ] am almost the
only survivor of those who begun this Revou-
eion, and my escape is difficult to account for,
At present suffer good deal Of pain from an
abscess in my left side, that came in consequence
Of fever had in the Luxembourg, where

Robespiere in other respects l am in good
health.
The success of the French Arms has been,
and continues to be, astonishing They have
fairly beaten all the armies of Austria, Prussia,
Spain, SARDINIA and Holland. Holland is en-
tirely conquered, and there is now revolution
in that country. Remember me in your family

Foreign News.

From the several steamers which have
lately arrived, we gather the following items.
FRAN0E.-The Assembly are engaged
on President Buonaparte's plan Of revising
the Constitution, which may be done, but
probably not according to his wishes. We
should think from present indications that
the Republic would be sustained.
ENGLAND is doing nothing but attending
to the Great Exhibition.
TURKEY is suffering dreadfully from
widely extended drouth. The Sultan has
finally decided to release Kossuth this fall.
The CAFFIR WAR is becoming fierce and
sanguinary. The Caffir army defeated the
English in one battle, and killed many hum
dreds; and the latter, soon ralIying, raVag-
ed and burnt thirty villages in retaliation.
The Crops in Great Britain are unusual
ly promising, especially in Ireland, where
the potato crop. as well as grain crops. neys,

Nep Mrention. on.--James Cunningham,
of Reading Pa, has patented Dust
Arresler." for the purpose Of prevent
ing dust from entering the windows of
railroad cars. All who have travelled
in railroad cars are aware how disa-
greeabc i, is TO be sitting at window
with the dust driving into the face
This contrivance is TO prevent that. A
fan is placed in the top OF the car,
which reYolves by gearing attached
to the forward axle-from this fan a
pipe passes around the top of the car,
which connects with other pipes pas
sing through the top down by the side
OF each window on the inside of the
car. The passenger, if Dust begins to
drive into the window, only has to open
one of these pipes and a strong cup
rent Of air passes out OF tho window,
driving the dust away.

Tnr MONSTER GLogr.-A late Eng
li.h paper states that MIR. Wyld has sc
cured Leicester square for The exhlbi-
ton Of his monster ri, be during the
Worlds Fair. The following descrip-
ton of this curiosity is given:
"The Interior Of the globe will be up
wards of60 feet in diameter, and the
whole surface of the earth modelled with
,he greatest possible accuracy, embra-
eng all the latest discoveries, upon a
scale of ten miles to the inch horizontal,
and one inch 10 the mile vertical eve
ry mountain, river and lake will be laid
down in a way that each visitor TO this
highly Interesting and scientific exh-
bi,ion may become in an hoir an entire
cosmopolite. The details OF the manu-
factory Of this giant specimen of indi-
vidual enterprise display an accuracy
and care with which on inspection we
are greatly interested. The first pro-
cess is TO lay down the protraclions
done by the most experienced hydrogra-
pliers. These are then traced upon
blocks Of clay, between 2 and 3 feet
square. The modeler then sets to work
and puts in the various elevations, rid
ges of mountains, lakes rivers. oceans
and islands, shaping them into the pic
turesque forms which the great artist.
Nature, has given 10 them. From this
mould is taken, and then IA cast.
This cast is corrected by Mr.. Wyld
himself, and if knolls requires elevation.
and valleys depressing, they are made
perfect again. From this another mould
is taken, from which the finished cast TO
be built in the globe will be taken, and
when there, to be coiored in accordance
with the varied character which the
earth's surface paescnts. Some idea
may be formed Of the extent OF the un-
deratking when the reader is informed
that 5000 blocks OF the size named will
be required to complete it. We have
n hesitation in saying that no object
produced at the forthcoming exhibition
will contain more matter OF so id inter-
est and information than the great globe
itself"

only objection we have heard to it, was

forgets in the different "characters"
which he himself possesses that there
are others in the world who can think,
and who also have some Of the percep-

Mr.. Beecher. in enumerating the "char-

Professions, forgets to make mention OF
those of his own calIing,-and then, to

e-At the August Session Of the As
sembly 1850, Henry Y. Cranston, Will
liam p, Ba,eman and Fenner Brown,
weIe appointed Committee to enquire
into the claims Of Tristan Burgess
Peleg Almy and s. 7. Dennison and
others against the State. At the jan
uary Session 1851, they made the fol-
lowing report:
The Committee to whom was referred
the several petitions Of Tristan Bur-
gsss, Peleg Almy and s. T. Dennison
and others, praying the General Assem-.
bly,, to pay the claims they respectfully
hold against the State, constituting to-
gether a small portion Of the Register
ed State Debt, having duly considered
and investigated said claims, report
that it is the deliberate judgement Of
Of the Committee, that the General As
sembly owe it alike to the hitherto un-
tarnisned name of Rhode Island, and
the Just and indisputable claims Of said
Petitioners, to make provision promptly
and without delay, for the payment. or
settlement Of the same.
The Committee deem it wholly un-
necessary to trouble themselves, and
more particularly the House, with
history Of the Registered State Debt, as
that labor has already been performed,
most ably and thoroughly by the Com
mi'tec, whose report was made at the
October session, ls49, with an appendix
containing the full and entire legisla-
tive record history of the Rhode Island
Registered State Debt; which report
and appendix the House in ito wisdom
again and again refused to print.
