Tho Car ttulation Of Gaeta-scencs at the
Close Of the siege.

|
The col. vespondence Of the Paris Pfssse
writes from CasteIlone on the 7th inst:
Already tn other day powder magazine
burst at the outh extremity Of the Philipp-
stadt Battery, cansing considerable loss TO
the enemy; but 4 have now 10 record q far
more terrible e1 plosion. Yesterday, about
FIVE o'clock in th, afternoon, shell from the
Piedmontese line on the right penetrated
into one of the powder magazines, which
blew up likewise The report was 50 terri
bic that the report was re.echoed ;a from the
French vessel, althC ugh six miles from
Gaeta, felt the shock. had left the village
about four o'clock to take stroll through
the mountains leading TO CASTILLO 0norato,
when, reaching the sum INIT Of small hill
which commands view Of the gulf and the
whole neighborhood, " as almost thrown
to the ground by the effect of the explosioa
which had just taken place to my left
turned my gaze toward Gaeta, and wm
hOrrihed at the immense masses of ruin,
some pieces high In the air, sEaid black
smoke and tongues of flames which lighted
up the spires of the town. It was some
thing horrible, and reminded MIA Of Pliny
the Younger's description of an eruption Of
Mount Vesuvius in letter to Tacitus, mar
rating the destruction of Herculaneum and
Pompei. l hastily descended into the val 4
ley, and on reaching Castellone l was in-
FORMED that the explosion had not only
caused the death of some hundred Neapolitau
soldiers, but that also a considerable num-
Der of living beings were still under the I
ruins.
During the stiffness of the night we could |
discern the stifed cries of those unfortunate |
men, as General Cialdini had humanely or /
dered all firing to cease. A Neapolitan mes
senRer arrived, requesting an armistice of |
forty. eight hours. He asked for it in the
name of humanity; for, he said, it was inn
possible to ascertain the number of victims
buried in the ruins by the explosion. You
will easily agree with me that cool reason of
interest might have advised Cialdini to
refuse the request of the military Governor
of Gaeta. For bold and daring General
like Cialdini, it was an admirable oppor-
tunity to attempt coup de main, which
probably would have succeeded.
Not listening to the voice of interest, the
Piedmontese General did not hesitate for
moment to grants suspension of hostilities,
on the sole condition that the besieQed
should not work at repairing the breach
made recently by the Piedmontese. We
shall thus have an armistice, which will
SSrminate to- morrow morning, and in forty
eight hours l may have great results to re-
cord. do not believe, as is reported here,
than Francis III. has made any proposals for |
a capitulation, which must follow sooner or
later. The battery on the sea side has been
much damaged by the FIRE from the Sardi.

COnGrntulatiOn for Buchnuan and Com.

hhHOEhttoh AOE luuCOIns
The New Orleans Crescent congratulates
the Old Public Functionary on his abdica-
ton, and commiserates the wretchedness
of Lincoln on assuming the Presidential
chair: .
The Southern States now in the Union will.
from the necessities of their position, be-
compelled to abandon the Northern Coufed
eracy, repudiate the unnatural and degrad-
ing alliance, and come where they proDerly
belong and will be warmly welcomed into
the Confederacy of the South. The old
Union, already deeply in debt, and with but
little prospect OF raising the revenue neces-
sary Tor the ordinary administration of its
government, will be embarrassed at the be.
ginning of Lincoln's term, and will be stiIl
more so year after year. If as Edmund
Burke truly SAID, 'the revenue is the State, y
the future of the Northern Union will be
gloomy indeed. ~.
And yet its President, en- route to his capi.
tai, cracks jokes with the populace, indulges
in unseemly levity on the gravest subjects,
steals fugaciously at midnight into Wash
ington, and to-day will ride through the
broad avenue to the eastern portion of the
Capitol and speak his speech to the multi
tude which surrounds him, with as serene
an air as if his Presidential path were all
strewn with flowers instead of leading
throug entangled thickets and ever treach-
erous bogs.
The satisfaction OF ministering to the
greedy pack of Office seekers-of dealing out
the doles of the Treasury to the hungry and
rapacious set, who will gather together in
Washington, even as the eagles flock to-
gether around the decaying carcass-will be
poor compensation for the spectacle of a
discovered Union, bankrupt Treasury, and
perhaps civil war, between those who should
be friends and brethren. n
Heretofore, on the day of Inauguration, the
streets of Washington have exhibited a
splendid pageant. To-day there will be the
usual crowd of people, perhaps, but there
can not be the usual outward demonstra-
tions of joy. The tramp of General Scott's
armed legions will echo strangely in the
ears of the people. For the first time in the
history of the nation, a President is in
augurated amid the bristling bayonets of
hireling soldiery, and for the first time sec
tional President ascends to the seat of Wash
ington. Happily, seven brave States of the
South feel no other interest in the matter
than one of satisfaction that they are no
longer parties to an Administration SO in
auspiciously commenced.

Decision of the BOnaparte. Patterson Cnse
In France

Judgment was delivered by the tribunal
OF the Seine in the Bonaparte. Patterson case
on the 18th ult. The Court declared that az
the object of the demand made by Madame
Patterson and Jerome Bonapsrte was the
liquidation and division of the succession of
the Frlnce Jerome, and inasmuch as among
the grounds of opposition to the demand Is
one that the claim has been already Judged
by two decisions of the coRSeH de familLe,
which proclaimed the nullity of the marriage
OF the 24th of December, 1903 and its in
validity even as regards property, therefore
1T is expedient above all to examine the
validity OF this ground of opposition, mas.
much as if it be well founded it would estab-
llsh peremptory exception to the present
demand, and it would no longer belong to
the tribunal to examine the other grounds of
opposition, or TO decide whether the mar
riageiis not null fer having been c6dtfahted
In clandestlne manner, or whether Nod.
anne Elizabeth Patterson could RELY on her
good faith in the legal acceptation of the
term, or what efficacy should be attributed
TO the DEGREES of the llth and Both Ventose
OF the year. l3; and, in fine, whether the
possession of a position claimed by the parties
Represented by NJ. Berryer does not meet an
energetic, incessant and manifest coutradic-
tion in the simple fact of the second marriage
contracted in 1907 by Prince Jerome and the
Princess Catherine of Wurtemberg on the
faith of the legal non-existence of the first
marriage; and whether, consequently, the IL
tie of relative given to Jerome Patterson be
according to the babitual relations of life,
particularly when it must be recollected that
to admit a clear right by blood would, on the
part of the children born of the second mar
riage, be denial of their own legitimacy"
The Court then referred to the l,350th aud
l,35lst articles of the Code Napoleon, and
having recapitulated all the facts of the case
as stated by counsel, it declared that the
demands of Madame Patterson aud her son
jerome Bonaparte are not admissible and
must be rejected, and ordered that the pres
ent judgment shall be mentioned on the
margin of the deed dated the 10Th of July,
1860, containing declaration of the accept
ance by jerome Bonaparte of the succession
of Prince Jerome. The Court further SEN
fenced the claimants TO pay the costs.

AUSTRIAN OPINIONS OF THE FALL OF GAErA.
Austrian journals are now expressing the
iveliest apprehensiODs respecting the con-
sequences which the fall of Gaeta may have
at a not distant time upon the fate of Aus
tTia. The Austrian Gazette says that the
paeihcatiOn of Southern Austria will place
10000 men at the disposal of Austria. The
fall of Gaeta, says that paper, "must necessa-
rily react upon the Roman question, aud
France, pressed by England and Sardinia,
can not do otherwise than abandon the Pope,
as she has already abandoned Francis H., OF
Naples. What can prevent Piedmont from
declaring war against Austria the day the
ltslian Parliament, sitting in the Quirinal,
shall decree that war2
If France has made the promise to remain
neutral should Austria be attacked by Pied
mont, han not NJ. Schleinitz declared in the
House at Berlin that Prussia had no engage
menttoward Austria in reference TO Venetia I
Thus, proceeds the G0zette, "Austria is lefl
alone to uphold the struggle against Italy
II she is strong enough not TO be afraid OF it
she has yet great deal to apprehend from
the allies whom Italy may find in the east
ern part of the Empire Another Viennl
| paper, the Ost- Deutsche Post, expresses wit
| still greater force the concern and uneasines
prevailing in the Austrian Cabinet. I

ANOTHER ENGLISH VIEW OF AMERICAN Sc.
cEssIoN.-The London Times says SIT is
plain that the Slave Confederation must
commence its existence amid something like
bankruptcy and, though such calamities
have been surmounted by many nations
struggling for Independence, we have yet to
learn whether the Southern communities
have the resolution to face them. If how
ever, the leaders of the Secession can get the
community to remain faithful TO them, the
movement will go on. There can be no
doubt that an active party has been in
tTiguing for Secession for many years past.
Mr.. Jefferson Davis is pointed at by the
North as the Jeroboam of this rupture; be is
to be the FIRST President, and 70 remain for
life the ruling spirit of the Confederation.
Mr.. Floyd, Of Virginia, who has just been in-
dicted at Washington as one Of the party
guilty of defrauding the Treasury, is charged
with having transferred arms and ammuni-
tion from North TO South that they might be
seized by the seceders, and to have 30 dis.
posed the officers that at some of the most
important points Southerners were in com
mand. )"

ANOTHER CLERICAL LEcHER IN New
YoRK.-The New York correspondent of the
New Orleans Crescent says:
The prOfane world has been moved lat
terly to much merriment by the detection
of clerical scamp named Adams, who
seduced the youthful and blooming wife of
Mr.. Clark, a land surveyor, and one of
Adams's Pensioners. The guilty pair met
frequently in an assignation house on
Twenty eighth street. Mrs Clark's husband
at the time was away in the West When
he came home, he heard bad stories about
his wife, and commenced overhauling her
traps. He found the Reverend gents like
ness and two biLtetS-douz from him.
One appoints a meeting, and the other
apologies for not keeping the appointment,
because Mrs. Adams took him shopping
that shopping which it takes an internal
time TO do, when love is impatient to meet
its hearts idol" Clark started after 'the
destroyer of his peace" and overhauling him
on the threshold of the assignatiou house,
beat him soundly. The clergyman posi-
lively had the cheek TO go before a magis-
trate and complain of Clark for felonious
assault and battery. Mrs. Clark has been
sent home to her friends in Vermont. All lof
these loose women seem to come from
Yankee land ...

letter from Turin, in the Paris Steele,
says:
General Klapka is still here, aud, notwith-
standing the prudent silence he maintains,
even with his friends, it is known that,
though serious difficulties exist, he has firm
hope in his cause; and hear that what at
present occasions most anxiety to the Hun
garian leaders is to find the means of delay
ing for the proper time the outbreak of the
revolution which has been so long men
acing. As to Garibaldi, he will intervene
when the opportune moment shall have ar
rived. Is Poland also about to make move
ment for obtaining emancipation and unity ?
On that question the following letter, written
by Garibaldi, and which has been communi-
Gated to me, may throw some light:
"Cdprerd, December 80 l860.-My retire
ment tosthis place is not an abandonment of
the cause of the populations to which have
devoted all my life.7 Having the fullest con-
tidence in General Meroslawski I will come

Hungary and Poland are now placed in

fore had they so favorable an opportunity for
achieving independence. viii they know

regards Russia, one thing must be particu-
larly remarked that sincs 1856 she has not
recruited single man for the army. In
Russia, at present, levy for the army is
considered impossible, as it would be likely
to cause a general insurrection of the peas
ants. The three Russian corps d drmee which,
as usual in critical times, now occupy Pc.
land, form scarcely an effective force Of 65,-
600 men, though in former days they ex-
ceeded 100000. Hungary, therefore, can be
almost certain that Russia could not inter-
vene in any revolution she might make.
