The Bellons WAS ready to SALON Tia 9Th
Of July; but it appeared that dishonest

A part of the story of this curious emil
grafton scheme is not secret, but it is
novel and interesting. The men who came
in the Belloua were of different naticARlis
ties. but were collected in Belgium under
the direction of Julian Allen, formerly
colonel of the well known organisation
called the "Polish Legion" of this city-a
regiment which it was proposed to recruit
at the beginning of the war among the
Polish refugees in this country-but its ranks
we're not filled in time and the men were
consolidated into other regiments. Mr..
Allen went abroad to assist his country
men in their late struggle for indepen-
dence, and he is now doing what he can for
American interests.
Six hundred men were gathered within
three weeks, and constant accessiops were
made to their numbers. II was not diff
cult to collect them. The people of Eu
rope are acquainted with the efforts ma
king here to obtain recruits; any many
persons, desiring to come to this country,
frequently make application to our consuls
surprising, not unnaturally, that some
facilities for transportation hither might be
afforded by our diplomatic Representatives,
| but those officers, in accordance with the
instructions of our government, reject the
proposals. ...n-.
| When, however, II became known al
Antwerp recently, that Mr.. Allen would
receive persons and send them across the
ocean, the tidings were quickly conveyed
to the principal cities near the seaboard Of
the continent; and Immediately men came
from all directions. They walked about Al
Antwerp in crowds. A part of them were
so much elated with the prospect of going
to America, that they marched in process
sious, carrying rags to represent banners
on long sticks like hsgstaffs, much to TIT
establishment of some of the townspeoplt
and the amusement of others, who though
q new society had suddenly sprung int
existence, and that raggsmufins were tn

of obtaining any; and the want Of food
admonished them of the propriety of full
