Correspondence Of tho Boston Post

PARIS, May "a, 1861.
On Friday, l7th instant, meeting Of the
Americans in Paris, desirous Of expressing their
loyalty to the Union, was held at No. Boule
ward M0tisharbes, (Mr. Sanford's rooms.) The
meeting was called to order by Mr.. Sanford, Of
Connecticut, United States Minister to Belgium,
who nominated William X. Strong, of New
York, as chairman.
Mr.. Strong feelingly addressed his assembled
countrymen upon the momentous issue of pre-
serving our national life, at any and every cost,
against the most fragrant treason the world ever
saw. which has been set on foot to destroyit.
William A. Hovey, of Boston, was appointed
secretary.
A letter was read from an American gentle.
man residing in Manchester, England, stating
that fl 800 had been raised by Americans re.
siding in Manchester and Liverpool towards
purchasing battery of riaed cannon, to be
sent to America for the use of the Government
in upholding the stars and stripes of the Union.
The writer urged upon the Americans in Paris
the importance of lending their aid in further.

A subscription paper was instantly drawn
up, and 10000 francs raised on the spot. A

ONE PLACE IN FLORIDA LOYAL.

LATEST FROM KEY wEsT-THE sECEssIoNIsTs
DISPERSED.
From a letter received yesterday by gen.
tleman at present resident Of Washington,
from his father in Key West, Florida, we are
permitted to extract some interesting items of
news at that place up to the 9th ultimo:
The volunteer company which a short time
ago rendered its services to the commander Of
our forces at Key West, was not, as reported
in the Northern papers, composed of the at
tacats of the fort, but Of some Of the most
respectable and substantial citizens of the
island, with Mr.. Malone, Georgian by birth,
and distinguished lawyer as captain. But
complete control of the island, are cooperating
with patriotic vgor and resolution with the
military, in defence of their homes and their
flag.
The old Buchanan attaches and plunderers,
now secessionists, in consequence, begin to
realize the peril of the criminal attitude into
which their treason has plunged them. Messrs.
Ward, ext editor of the secession journal, now
suppressed; John. P. Baldwin, ex-collector /;
Capt. Cost, exjailor, and brother to the noto.
rious Capt. Cost, who at Charleston, WAS the
first who UNANIMOUSLY surrendered a revenue cut.
ter of the United States to the Confederate
authorities; - Crusoe, ex.clerk of the cir.
cult court Capt. Warrington, ex.State Sena.
tor; and William and Richard Kemp, mer.
chants-"nll more or less mixed up promi.
nently in secession projects recently deemed
it prudent to retreat from the island in quite a
hurry. Another prominent secessionist-a Mr..
Mulrenan-received orders from Major French
to leave within twenty four hours, but that time
was subsequently extended, to allow him 10
settle with his creditors on the island. Major
French had also dispersed the old city council
and government, and ordered new election,
which Was held on Saturday, the 2jth ultimo,
resulting in the triumph Of Union council,
and the patriotic Judge Marvin as mayor.
Thus the patriotic citizens of Key West, by
adhering fearessy to their allegiance to the
Union, trusting to the power and protection Of
the national Government, and by developing
and organizing the resources of the island for
purposes OF defence, have not only escaped the
horrors Of a secession reign Of terror but are
in the enjoyment of comparative peace and
prosperity, while all around them, outside Of
the island, in almost all parts Of the State, are
prey to ruin, and crime, and civil strife.

TEXAS AND MEXICO-wHAT SHALL
WE DO IN THE SOUTHWEST?

The movement upon Texas of respectable
column from the Territory to the northeast of
that traitor ridden country will become neces'
sary, il the rebels there are to be speedily taught
their duty. Arizona is said also to be in the
hands of the secessionists. Some Of our loyal
citizens have important interests in that Terri.
tory, connected with mining operations, which
should be protected One of these we have
heard to be Colonel Lally, formerly Of the ninth
infantry who won high distinction in the war
with Mexico. We hear it reported that Colonel
Lally was assured of high military command
in the newly.levied troops, if he desired it, but
that his engagements with his associates were
positive to repair to the Pacific coast. The
northern States of Mexico have always been
in dread of Texan raids. These have been
prevented hitherto by the authority Of the Uni.
ted States, which cannot now be exercised after
the astonishing detection of a part of our officers
there and the decentralization Of the troops, three
thousand men, the Guest army Of the United
States. Why not appoint an able man to mill.
tary command, and authorize him to raise troops
on the Pacific coast There may be found
plenty Of daring spirits, fine material for an
army, who would be glad, under competent
leader, to move down the Rio Grande to chns.
tise those insolent robbers in Texas. Perhaps
no man could be found better qualified for such
leader than Colonel Lally himself Known
extensively in the South, he was one Of the men
of the North whom the traitors sought to seduce
from their allegiance; acquainted early with
their designs, he was the first man to advise the
Government of tho necessity Of extensive prep.
aration and precautions to meet and defeat their
Vaccinations. In view of the connection of
this matter with Mexico, why should not the
Secretary of State look to it, making himself II
military captain, pro hac ricef Foolish as
General Beauregards letters are, we neverthe.
less may look for some hard fighting with the
rebels, and no in direction will treason die harder
than on the Southern frontier. Are we ever to
be engaged, in this war, in merely defensive
operations?

GREAT WHEELRARRow FEAT.-Mr. J. N.
Lathrop arrived in this city one day last week,
from Amesbury, Mass, from which place he
had come all the way on foot, ESQ miles,)
wheeling a wheelbarrow,> containing all his
earthly effects. He was on the way to Presque
Isle, where he intended to locate. He had
heard of Aroostook county, and was determined
to reach it, and take up farm. The wheel.
barrow afforded his only chance, and he will.

p1- Mrs. Jefferson Davis, according to the
Milwaukee Press, is sound on the main ques.
ton. She is Gen. Davis's second wife. His
first wife was daughter Of President Taylor.
The Press says: q ....
eve know that Mrs. Davis, the wife Of the
rebel chief, sympathizes with the anti slavery
sentiment OF the North, whatever may be her
views Of the present political difficulties. We
have heard her express the strongest anti.sla.
very sentiments in the presence Of the most de.
cided advocates of slavery. Upon the occasion
of the passage OF the Kansas ebrsska bill,
an old toady was congratuating Mrs. Davis, in
our presence, upon the success Of that meas
ure, to which she replied, in substance II it
has the effect to extend slavery, am sorry for
it. II the Women of the South could be con
suited in this matter, slavery would be speedily
abolished. As for myself, would rather do
the menial service Of my family than have the
responsible and care Of slaves"

FROM CHAMBERSBURG.

MOVEMENTS ExpEcrED.--The telegraph ad
visrs us that the order to advance upon the en-.
emy is hourly expected in the direction of Har.
per's Ferry. GAN news" however, concern.
ing the proposed advance of troops is strictly
prohibited" The dispatch adds, that nothing
but the inclement weather for the past few days
has delayed the movement to-day" If they
had the Star man, or some of our New York
newspaper telegraph generals up there, they
would move them in any weather. None, how.
ever, except such chieftains, ever order out
troops in a rain storm, unless a movement is
absolutely necessary.
The senior OF the Star reports himself as
having started for Western Virginia, where he
will doubtless bring the troops out, though it rain
guns. The paper meantime is edited by the
younger men, who are sharp fellows enough,
and can well spare their Virginia senior.
Chambersburg is about fifty miles from Har.
per's Ferry. To Chambersburg, the nearest
point on the railroad Baltimore and Ohio) is
Hancock, thirty miles distant. Hancock is
thirty miles west Of Harper's Ferry.
Further MovEMENrs.-Six companies of the
Sd infantry started yesterday evening, about six
o'clock, from this city by rail towards BaIti
more. Carlisle Barracks was spoken of as their
destination.

VANITY FAIR, which, like the contractors, is
growing rich with the war, makes some excel

rather like making Hardware of them. Very
well let them Be Warel

Galveston (rcxas) Aces that "Senator Wig.
fall is gentleman Of vast pluck. He never
hinched in the hour Of danger, and he has been
i'll very tight places"
We know he has been in places very tight,
but are not so sure about his pluck.
WhenP-The secessionists having given up
the Fourth of July, together with Yankee
Doodle and the Star.spanpled Banner, propose,
when they have captured Washington, (tchen !!
to change its name to Arnoldsvie, in grateful
memory of their great prototype, BENEDICT.

the seceders in regard to an attack on Wash.
ington seems to be the real Dread Scott De.
cisiOn.

Floyd, F. F.. Fugitive fnancier,) who has late
ly been appointed brigadier general in the
TcUcl hrHnyJ one Vi our ooulntrn exchanges
says, he succeeded in clearing himself of the
charges made against him." 1t may be so,
though we doubt it; but we have another
charge to make against him and his fellow
traitors, which they will find difficult to clear off,
and that is-Charge Bayonets!

DB- The d" slow and dangerous papers, the

The Washington correspondent OF one Of these

"The proiessed friends OF the Administration,
its own journals aud their correspondents, not
only describe aud publish all details as fully as
the enemy can desire to be possessed OF, but
furnish diagrams too, exhibiting to the eye az
q glance all the matters described. These
papers and maps of course find their way south

US, therefore, while this goes on, the secession
lists do not need. The abuse Of privileges, how
ever, ought to be arrested. 1t IS understood
the authorities have this matter under advise

LATER FROM FORTRESS MONROE.
THE HARRIET LANE ENGAGEMENT.
Norfolk Strengthened by Secession
Troops.

The steamer Adelaide, Captain Cannon, ar.
rived at Baltimore yesterday, from Old Point,
which place she left Thursday afternoon. From
the Rdtriot's report, we learn that Colonel
Segar, the owner of the farm on which General
Butler has his encampment, came up in the
Adelaide also, Captain Merrill, Of Bartlett's
brigade, who has goue on to Washington to
endeavor to get clothing and supplies for the
men, who are now destitute.
Passengers who came up in the Adelaide,
represent that the revenue cutter Harriet Lane
was pretty badly used in the attack upon Pig
Point; but she was soon repaired, aud was
out reconnoitring yesterday. Lieutenant Dun
can, of the Harriet Lane, states that the fight
was pretty hot. The cutter threw several shells
into the battery with much accuracy, and it is re-
ported that three ofthe men were killed and seven
wounded, including an officer. The battery
having been inflicted with thirty four FOUNDER
riAed cannon.
1t was at first thought that no battery existed
at the place where the fight occurred and the
Harriet Lane was sent to ascertain if the re.
port was true. She found out that one did ex.
ist and that seven guns were mounted upon it.
and hence the attempt made to dislodge them.
Captain Faunce speaks in the highest terms Of
the bravery of his men during the engagement
1t is said that the scouting party who were
supposed to have been captured by the seces.
sionists had returned to the encampment after
an absence Of two days, having captured twelve
head of cattle from detachment of the enemy,
which they drove into camp.
1t is also reported that reinforcements from
the South were continually arriving in Nor.
folk, and that the number Of troops there is
much larger than has been generally supposed
All the threatened points are strongly fortified.
