LONDON, Dec. 5-P. M.
The latest accounts from Paris repre-
sent the troops as successful at all points.
Several French refugees left London ON
Thursday for Paris.
The French Government had the entire
control of the telegraph lines, and had
stopped the transmission of all messages.
The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Herald and Chronicle states that Gen.
Castlllian, at Lyons, and Gen. Erymer,
had declared against the President, but
that is denied. Doubts are also enter
tanned of Gen. Mignon's reported dispo-
sitions against the Government.
The London Daily News says that
General Menyomer is marching from tho
north with four regiments, and that hs
will oppose the President.
The London Times correspondent states
that the attempted rise at Deroyet was
promptly suppressed, and that the most
reliable accounts from the Departments
the country districts) are favorable to
the Presidents ca,lse.
PRUssIA.--Berlin advices to the I'd Of
December state that the telegraph news
from Paris caused the most intense ex-
element. The business of the Assembly
was suspended and the ministry withdrew
to hold cabinet council.
SIcILY-hswrection.-The latest dates
from Palermo give accounts of an attempt
by the Baron Ysee and other noblemen
with view to proclaim the independence
of Sicily Of the Kingdom of Naples, and
to compel King Ferdinand to abdicate in
favor of his son Francis.
"A portion of the Inhabitants of Paler-
mo, the capital of Sicily, declared in favor
of the project. The 18th regiment fra
ternized with them. but by the prompt
energy of the authorities the movement
was checked.
Several arrests were made, including
some officers Of the 18th regiment.

"wHo KILLED COCK ROBIN %

"WHo KILLED COCK ROBIN g!
There is a highly diverting controversy 60
ing on in Congress, not as to which party is
most economical, but which is least extraysgant
They remind me of two persons, both having
previously lost their reputation entirely, settling
dispute about precedency, by proving one
worse than the other. Both parties have been
so notoriously extravagant that neither pre-.
tends to economy, and both are now holding
post mortem examination to ascertain not
whether Cock Robin is dead, but who killed
him. They had better try to devise means for
bringing him to life again. There is not the
least doubt that the government of the United
States is the most prodigal in the world. 1t
WASTES almost as much in idle projects, political
donceurs, and indirect bribery, as the monarchs
of Europe do in maintaining their state, and
supporting their power But then we live under
a free government, aud cannot pay loo much for
a good thing, notwithstanding the old proverb.
CIVILIZATION.
Cortez, in letter to Charles the Fifth in j.
lustration of the advanced state of society
among the Indians Of Mexico, says, that 'they
begged in the streets like civilized people" a
modern traveller, whose name | have forgotten,
having been a long time wandering in savage OF
desert countries, was at length cheered by the
sight of gallows, which he says convinced
him be had got among civilized Christians. II
would seem, therefore, that beggary and the
gallows are the great badges Of civilization.
SPANISH cRUELTIEs IN SOUTH AMERICA.
How does it happen that while the world
rings with the oppression and barbarity exer
cised by the Spanish corquerors ofSouth Amer
lea on the Italians the Spanish provinces of tn,
new world are full Of Indians, while those o.
England in North America are almost depopu
lated am convinced that the deelamations o.
Las Casas, on which our impressions on thi'
subject principally rest, are greatly exagger
ated. Whoever will examine the edicts Of th,
kings Of Spain, and the proceedings of the coun
ell of the Indies, will find that the policy Of iha
government was in the highest degree mild anC
paiernal towards the Indians That the Span
ish ndyenturers acted on different msxims, anC
very often paid little respect to the edicts Of th'
sovereign or the directions Of his council, ther,
can be no doubt; but the preponderence Of In
dian population 10 all the Spanish possession
in America over The whites, seems TO furnisI
decisive proof that they could not have beef
previously almost exterminated, as is the gen
eraI belief Of all who have derived their mpres
sions from British literature.
The southern press., 1852-05-20

We know nothing Of the authority for the
declaration SO confidently made, that Gen. Gem
mander will attend the Democratic convention
"and assume TO represent the State" Ii is GER
tainly true as he says, that South Carolina will
appoint no delegate, unless every Indication of
public sentiment thus far, has been deusive.
But there is very material error in the above,
which we desire to correct Mr.. Calhoun
never did support Gen. Cass for the Presidency,
but was notoriously and warmly opposed to his
election The State voted for Gen. Cass
against his opinions and wishes. And il must
further be remembered that she voted for him,
not as her choice, but AS a choice of evils, and
because il was thought he would be compelled
to choose councillors more safe for the South
than we had any right to hope for from his
antagonist There was neither partiality for
Gen. Cass, nor much confidence in his principles.
There is vastly less now or rather the last re.
mains OF both have been utterly swept away.
Reference is made TO Gen. Cass's recent ex
panatou of his then famous Nicholson letter.
How the writer can imagine that this explana-
ton will make him friends in the South, we are
at loss to conjecture. If he had put the con
struction on that letter four years ago, which
he has recently done in the Senate, he could
not have got Southern vote. Every where in
the South II WAS cOntenueu, ana He WAS caTeiui
not to contradict it, that his assumption of pow
er on the part of tn, people of the territories TO
establish fundamental laws on the subject Of
slavery, was meant only for the people in the
net of legally forming themselves into State.
He BOW assumes for his letter, the construction
which his enemies in the South put upon it.
But Gen. Cass's subsequent career in the Sen.
ate has been SO marked with demagoguism,
equally silly in the form of its manifestations
and reckless of the peace of the country, that
the former Indifference and distrust has been
changed to something like abhorrence and
oathing.
There is no party or fragment Of party in
South Carolina, as we fully believe, that would
think it worth the trouble, to choose between
Gen. Scott and Gen. Cass for the Presidency.
They are very much alike-a couple Of selfish
egotists, with no more principle than those
daughters of the horsc-leech which continually
cry, give, give! To defend our country is the
true religion, said the heroic Hector. To be
President, is the true and full sum of my politi.
cal principles, say Scott and Case. What honest
man will sacrifice his time and self-respect by
attempting to decide which of the two rotten
appeals is the least disgusting!
