The CONSULATE AND EMpIRE.-M. THEIRS, the
historian and statesman, is devotng his leisure to
the completion of his History Of the Consulate and
Empire Of France. 1t is stated that in the last
volomes of this work he will be severe on the
Emperor as he has been euogistic in the first vol
umes. He is represented to have said lately to one
of his friends: "IfI attack the memory of the EN-
peror for his policy in the last years of his reign
cannot be reProochcd with injustice and imparti

services which he rendered to society"

LoUIsIANA.-Messrs. Moore and Landry, the
Wing Congressman from Louisiana, set at rest
all rumors in regard to their detection from the
Wing nomination by publishing the following
letter:
To the People Of Louisiana:
1t is with some surprise and regret that we saw
it announced in several prints of Louisiana that
nominees Of the Wing National Convention. We
were surprised because, before leaving the con
vention, of which we bad the honor to be members,
we openly avowed our intention to support SCOTT
and GRAHAM; and must regret that such
Misrepresentation should have been thought neces-
sary to bolster up the very weak claims of Gene
raj Pierce, candidate for the Presidency, to
public favor in the South. 1t is true that we pre-
ferred Mr. Fillmore to any other candidate, and
used all honorable and fair means to have him
nominated, because we thought that the people
owed him debt of gratitude for his patriotic de.
votion to the Constitution and the Union in the
trying times Of 1850 which deserved the nomina
ton but we never for one moment conceived that
General Scott was not equally patriotic and de
voted to the Constitution and the Union. We,
with many other Southern Whigs-and, we are
happy to say, many good Northern Wings, too
determined to our best efforts to have the Com
promise measures incorporated in the Wing plat.
form of principles; and we ourselves determined
not to act in concert with any party that refused
to adopt those measures. The resolutions adopted
at the Wing National Convention, before the nom
nations took place, by an overwhelming ma jori-
ty, had been previously approved by nearly the
whole southern delegation and they contained
the principles adopted by State Cow !;
and after their adoption, and the nominations fair
y made by a majority, and the unequivocal &C
ceptance Of the nomination and the platform of
principles by both General Scott and Mr.. Graham,
we. as honorable men, true republicans, and good
Wings, were bound to support the nominations,
as we do most cordially.
As our position here gives us the opportunity of
procuring the most reliable information, we may
add that in relation to the principles embodied in
tho resolutions adopted by the Wing National
Convention, and in relation to all southern inter
ests, we have every confidence that they will be
faithfully carried out by both General Scott and
Mr.. Graham, if elected We therefore do not hes
tate to invite fellow citizens of louisiana to
support them.
Your obedient servants,
JOHN MooRE,
J. ARIsTIpE LANDRY.

UNITED STATES MAIL ST EAMSHIP
COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
7 Y-THROUGH PH
CALIFORNIA.


TIME public will be gratiied to learn that the
/ United States Mail Steamship Company are en-.
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending pas,b myers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to California, ny providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then desirous TO go out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
ence of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18th
mus, which was increased by the Impotence OF
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These Interruptions are now all removed.
Three Of the four ships Of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back So that the Company are
able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists of the -

GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. s. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, u. S. N.
FALCON, Cept. HARTsTEN, U. s. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stay of the ship in port at Pana-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships Of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain
rapid and pleasant through passage to California

Implement makers and Mechanics Of the United Sfafss'
