The Cores Of Crowaed Heqd.-In the
course Of his last letter to the Courier deS Etats
Uais, its Paris correspondent, E. Galairdet,
! has the following
"The Emperor has sought diversion from
the pressing cares which the precarous sltna-
/ ton oi the army in the East has caused him
/ He has shut himself up--nvisible to the whole
/ world, save his mnisters--in the Palace of ST.
Cloud. He, who is ordinarily SO calm, cannot
! row, it IS said, conceal his irritation. Nobody
dares TO approach him. The Empress seems TO
! have lost that supreme influence with which
! her grace, her sweetness, and her beauty have
/ hitherto invested her. In The midst of conlnu-
al and violent rains, St. Cloud has become 10
her drparv abode. She desired TO return to
/ the fuieries, but her august husband for thir
/ teen daVS resisted her wishes. To him solitude
was necessity. He recovered his serenity
and consented to return TO the Tuieries, when
! he learned that Austria had joined the allirs.-
HIS diplomacy has borne him great triumph
he sees that Franc" returns TO him which at at
one time seemed 80 far away"
WRECK OF THE BARK ARGYLE.-Another
melancholy ShIpwrpck, attended with great sut
iering and loss of LIE, has just occurred on The
| coast oil New jersey. At midnight, on the
night OF Sunday, the 2Sih, the bark Argyle,
Capt. Burton, came ashore about FIVE miles TO
the south OF Squan Inlet. The bark struck sey-
eral times, very heavily, on the outer bar, and
then swung round, stern toward the shore. The
Captain and crew eXfrted themselves to the ut-
most TO get her off, but all their efforts proved
unsuccessful. The heavy sea broke constantly
over her deck, and both Captain and crew were
! soon compelled to take refuge in The rigging for
their lives.
AIthrough the black night the Bark beat
with tremendous violence upon the bar, and
every wave that rolled in shore threatened TO
engulph all on board.
At length day dawned. and the fearful sitna-
ton Of the mariners was discovered by the coast
people, who, with their accustomed humanity,
promptly proceeded 10 the rescue. The life
boats We're soon brought to the beach, bat owing
10 the Tremendous sea then running, 1t would
have been madness 10 launch them. So the
Surtmen Were obliged to stand on the beach, iIs-
tenlng 20 the narrowing cries of the shipwreck-
ed mariners for help, without being able 10 90
to their aid, save at the cost OF their own lives.
Gradually the suffering men, worn out with
fasting and the perishing cold. and exhausted by
the fierce bulietingS Of the waves, one by one,
Ioosed their hold, and dropped into the boiling
surge, or Were washed from their places OF re-
tnge by the great waves, and persisted in the
SEA, while those who longed 10 assist them were
forced to look impotently upon their suiirringS,
deharrrd from doing aught but sympathising
with their distress, or mourning their dreadful
death
When our informant left the beach. at 3 o.
clock p. NJ. ofthe 29th, four of the crew and
one passenger had been drowned. One man
came ashore, manileSting signs Of life. and he
was subsequently, rpsuscItated. The remainder
oi the ships ompany-numberiug five persons
were alive On the wreck, but no hopes We're
entertained by the people on shore of their ul-
innate SAFETY. The bark had broken up, her
maSts had snapped of, and these poor starved
and half-irozen beings had crawled out upon
the bow-sprlt--the only place OF refuge left to
them. The sea was continually washing over
them,- and momentarily threatening 10 swallow
up tne last fragment Of the devoted vessel, and
the last members of her haPless Crew.
Mr.. J. S. Forman, agent of the underwri-
tiers, and Mir. J. w. Morris, Coast Inspector,
as we'll as many other competent coaStmen and
wreckers, were speedily on the spot, after the
situation of the bark become known: but as in
too many cases, the appliances provided by the
Government forthe saving Of life, proved worth
less. Nothing could be done but to stand and
look on the destruction of life and property in /
