 The Paris correspondent the London Times says Austria had just made spontaneous ad- vances of more friendly relations towards the western powers. Letters to Lord Palmerston conveyed a similar meaning. The same Paris correspondent makes allusion to what is termed the legitimate conspiracy, and closely following the exposure of the conspiracy Is the announce ment that Spain definitely contributes 25, 900 men, to be paid by France and England, and that France agrees to uphold the throne oi Isabella against all danger from whatever source.

 Mr. Bright added that:
 "If one of the old prophets had arisen in your midst, speaking under the direct inspra- ton of Heaven, he could not more exactly have pointed out the desperate expedition which you were about to undertake, or the frightful disasters which you were entailing up on your country"
 The explanation is doubtless to be found in the fact that, in addition to clear and unbi- ased judgment Kossuth had a more thorough and complete knowledge of the country to be invaded, than any other man in England.

One Hundred Guns for Texas!

1 oui iGtuiuS lloLi IeAdS arc as NcI faIie meagre but sufficient to indicate the triumph of democracy and tho overthrow of "Sam."- The Mississi ippian, of a late date says:
 "The democracy have swept this State like an avalanche-elcctng all from the Governo 1 down."
 The following particulars are from the New Orleans Bulletin of the 18th: 1 TEXAS ELEcTIoN.-At Galveston, on tho 10th instant, at o'clock, P. M, returns from ter or twelve counties, em mbracing some know noth- ing strongholds, had been received, which in- dicate the election of the entire State democra- tic ticket by large majority.
 John II. Brown and l.. Sherman, democrats were elected by 132 majority to the Legislature from Galveston.
 Brownsville (Rio Grande) elected Latham and Nicholas, democrats, by large vote
 Harris county (Houston) elected a democratic Senator and two Representatives
 Fort Bend and Brazoria, the same.
 Washington county, the residence of Gen. sam Houston, elected Warren, democrat, and : LoylcsS know nothing. Walker county elects know nothing Repre- sentatives by 46 majority.
 J. Grimes, democrat, was elected to the Sa nate from the counties of Walker. Grimes and Montgomery.
 Liberty also elects the Democratic ticket.
 The Gazette, (dem.,) of the Eth instap. i says:
 The great struggle of yesterday, however hoty contested, was conducted peaceablv and talrly, through loyal appeal to the ballot box. The democracy and conservative whigs of Gal weston have won the glorious victory; but while we rejoice we would do so in soberness, and With becoming respect for our opponents. No lndecorous exultatlons were heard but deep and heartfelt joy pervaded our party. Pease rolls up majority of 2l7 in the county: Bell l6l over Hancock; Runnels l68 over lowers. Brown (the ugly man) leads Sherwood three votes, and Manly, the highest know nothing, 132.
 "Thc democrats, after night, some 600 or IOJ strong ln men and boys had grand torch light proccssion.'

The French Emperor and General Pelis

The Paris correspondent of the Manchester Guardian furnishes the following piece of impe- rial gossip:
 l have received permission from friend to publish the following letter from his son-in- law, who took part in the attack of the 18th. After details relating to family matters only, he says
 Naturally enough, you are anxious for de- tails of our ill-luck Well. it was all-pot Pe- lssers fault, but the Emperor's; the plans and orders all came from him-all and there is a mystery here: why Pelissier should all at once obey him, and alter all his plans This is inexplicable Bosquet represented the dan ger to him-so did others, too; but he seems to have felt that, just this once, he could not re- sist, and dearly he has paid for it, too!
 1.-Two points appear to have been uppermost Tn the Emperors mind: lst, victory for the French troops on the 18th of June, the date of WaterlooO and next, a circumstance for his Imperial Guard to distinguish itself in. Both failed, and Pessier since then is not to be touched with q pair of tongs; he is unapproach- able, and I doubt whether any subsequent or. ders will be much listened to-"
 The rest of the letter contains details such as one reads in all the papers; but will give you my chief reason for thinking the above passage so interesting It is that it confirms something 1 learnt two days ago, and cannot doubt know ing the quarter it came from. Since the 18th, Pelissier has, in truth, received more orders,' but he pays no longer any attention to them.-

Is rarely seen drunk-too seldom speaks the truth--is deficient in affection for his kindred-has little curiosity and no imitation-no wish to improve his mind-no desire to surround himself with the com forts of life

ARE THEY ALL SwoRN?-A very instructive, as well as amusing incident occurred at Craw- ford, Russell county, Ala, during the discus sion there between Messrs. DowELL and WATTS Mir. DowELL charged that the know nothings took oaths in their several degrees which free man ought not to take, and was making it tell against his adversary when the following da- logue occurred:
 MT. WATTs-"I never took an oath'
 Mir. DowELL-" If there is another know nothing in the house who has not been sworn, I hope he will rise and make it known'
 Mir. B. II. BAKER" never was sworn'
 Many voices" We were" i've were," "we were"
 MT. DowELL--" How is this fellow cit- zens?-The chiefs of the party, the wire work CTS, It seems. are not sworn; their pledges of honor, l presume, is sufficient, But the wool hat boys, the honest yeomen of the country are compelled to take an oah before they are permitted to enjoy the benefits of know nothing ism"
 The effect of this hit may be better imagin- ed than described. The house rung with ap- plause How is it? Are they all sworn, or does the order discriminate between its mem- bership and take the words of some, and pin others down by solemn oaths?-Ga. Sentinel.

From the Albany Atlas, July 16. The United States Bank.

The United States Bank. The Philadelphia papers announce that the trustees of the Bank of the United States will make their final dividend on the 2Oth of Sep tember, when the concern will cease in auy shape to exist. It has taken fourteen years to wind up the concern; and at the end the stock holders lose all and the other creditors get lit tie.
 The bank was originally chartered at period of great financial depression and distress; when the failure of the State banks, after the war; had deprived the people of currency. The constitutional objections to its existence were lost sight of in the desire to secure its advanta- ges. The government became a holder of the stock to the amount of one.fifth of the capital; and it received the deposits of the custom house and the land office.
 When the question ofits re-charter came up, the exgencies which had called it into exist ence had ceased and the objections to it sub sisted The old democrats, who never believ- ed that such an institution was embraced in the objects of the confederation, or was to be en- dured under democratic interpretation of the constitution, renewed their objections to its re- charter Gen. Jackson believed, rightly, that all the public service required could be render

 We find in the Buffalo Express--a conspi- cuous organ of W. II. Seward and his auti-sla- ,arv coaltion-a leading article bearing the sig ni6cant caption of Millions for Slavery-No. tbinc for Commerce." In this article we are t"l1 that southern slavery has ever been pet institution of government, and has grown fat and strong from the public treasury. Each President, in turn, has caressed and patted the thing on the head, while the secretary ot the treasury has constantly fed it from the choicest pap afforded from the government resources: In this way it has been reared as spoiled child'-desring and coveting all that It sees, and proving fretful and uncomfortable of Its every want if not speedily gratified."
 TO establish the charge that this "pct insti- tutiou" of the south " has grown fat and strong from the public treasury" the following are gi- ven by our Buffalo philosopher as some of the items of the expenses incurred by the general government on account of slavery:

Rachel. the Benevolent.

Our worthy contemporary Of the Petersburg Ex-
press, notwithstanding his vow of unappeasabie
wrath, IN case Mademoiselie Rachel should give Pc
,tersburg The slip, has been modified into the most
afsectionate admiration, by generous act commit
tedby the aforesaid French woman AZ the Rich
mond depot of tho Petersburg railroad. We give
the incident in the language ofOur friend:
A highly respectable female, unaccon,paned save
by child upon feeling for her purse to settle for
her dinner discovered it had been stolen II contain
cd oil the money she had by her and check for her
baggage Accompanied only by a little child aud
frendless she knew not what to do and her distress
was so great that upon catering the cars she wept
profuseiy The coach was crowded many wealthy
passenger ply synpathizns with the distressed
man offering to dry up those tears by scton
which should speak louder than words. and which
would truly give the oil of and consolation tor the
seeds OF mourning. Rachel the great French tragedt
ene was also passenger in this coach, being
for the SOUTH from whence she soon departs for Cuba
with hope Of finding relief for o severe pulmonary
complaint IN the mild breeles of that salubrous islo
She witnessed the grief OF the distressed member
her sex, and wouaa-lke, desired to know the cause,
of which she was sooner informed, than she drew
from her Porte-monnas couple Of Spanish doub-
Looms, aud quietly placed them in the hand of the
fortunate wOmaD
This is what we call true benevolence. 1t flows
from honest heart and looks beyond the skies tor
reward and approval. 1t never opens, out seeks to
heal the wounds inflicted by nisfortune-it never
harrows up, but strives to calm the public mind.
Reader whenever occasion arises do thou like wise
InIitate the example of Rachel Let not your benev-
oehce ooze out Of your heart in whining sympathy,
ana roll of at the end OF Your tongues but give of your
abundance; for remember that is far more blessed
10 give than to receive" p
