Atmospheric Engine in France.

The following account translated from . French paper, if no hoar, reveals ne" motive power ready to dispute the prize o superiority with Ericssons patent:
 COMPRESSED AIR MOTIVE PowER.-De' cember l2, lS52-This morning about nine o'clock, two workmen, carrying on their shoulder an object carefully covered from the prying glances of the curious crowd, were slowly ascending the steps which led 70 the church of St. Vincent de Paul. Be- hind them came press of people, whose eager curiosity served only to hasten the progress of the porters. Soon the height of the eminence was attained and the crowd stood together at the high est point. The covering that concealed the mysterious burden was removed, and a small carriage on three wheels was expos cd to view. Two men took their seats within, and at given signal the carriage began to run with prodiglous rapidity over the sidewalk that surrounds the church.
 This proceeding was an experiment which, if necessary, must of necessity produce complete revolution in the modes of locomotion. Atmospheric air compressed within one thirtieth of its nat ural space, and confined in bottle under the seat of the miniature carriage, had sup piled the place of steam on this occasion, and revealed to onr astonished mind mo- tive power before unknown. 4 skillfuI me- chanc, by the application of new contri- vance, had succeeded in compressng the air at so little expense that it's employment as amotive power is much more economic al than that of steam. It was stated by indiVidualsnear us that two large carriages were being constructed, and that soon we shall see the curious spectacle of an omni- bus traversing, without noise, without fire, and without smoke. the Bouevards of Paris, and transporting, at the cost of cent, or less fourteen passengers from the Bastile to the Madeline, i. e., about four miles.

The Galveston (Texas,) News says:

HC 0di'CSlOll cAdS.J 1NeWS says.
 A requisiton has been made by the Gov ernor of Arkansas on the Governor of this State for Col. A. E. Thornton, who is now a citizen of this place, where he has lived for the last two or three years, highly re- spected and esteemed by all who have be- come acquainted with him. The officers sent from Arkansas to arrest Col. Thornton are now here. This requsition, as we learn, is grounded on a charge of fogery, during the time Col. T. held the office of Fiscal Receiver of the State Bank of Ar kansas, while that institution was in liquid aton six or eight years ago. Such charge is heard here by many friends of Col. T with much pain and surprise, as he has been esteemed among us as a gentleman of ire proachabe character, and known 10 be an exemplary member of the church. The statement is made by some who profess to be informed, that the accusation origi- mated in feeling of bitter party hostility, Col. T. having been for several years a prominent man in one of the two wings of the Democratic party of Arkansas.

MExIco.-The Revolution in this unfortu- nate country has been entirely successful the city of Mexico having formally pronoun- ced in favor of it. On the evening of the 18th, President Cevalos, finding Congress refractory, played the part of Cromwell-in- troduced large body of soldiers into the Hall, and cleared 1t of the members at the point of the bayonet. On the same evening, he issued decree calling National Conven- tion, to meet at the Capitol on the 18th of June, to reform the Constitution, elect new President, and exercise Legislative powers. He also gave orders to the Government troops to cease hostilities against the troops of Ura ga.
 Two new papers have been started, advo- eating the return of Santa Anna. ~~~~~~~~~~~-~
 THE NATIONAL NTELLIGENCER, in reply to the remark of a contemporary, that Con- gress had better appropriate money to aid the Washington Monument, rather than for an equestrian statue, says that in case there should be danger of a failure in carrying for ward that work, Congress will undoubtedly render the aid necessary. But there is no probability that the contributions of the peo- pie will not be sufficient for the prosecution of the work. The lofty obelisk has already attained a height of some one hundred and twenty feet of its destined five hundred feet, containing about six millions of cubic feet of solid masonry; and by means derived from continual individual contributions, the work is going on as fast perhaps as would be pru- dent in such structure.
