DISSOLUTION OF THE FRENCH MINIS-
TRV. i
London, S9.—We annotmf.eq, by cm extraor
dinary «inrcia from Paii»» on Saturday morning,
that M. Thirrs, with five of hi* MImnUiiiiI col
league*, hail rc*igned their placet in tho Cabinet,
tin the ground of differing from the King upon the
^nevtion of intervention in Spain. That atatement
%va* made expressly upon the authority of the Jour
nal dr Faria, an evening pnper, which ha* hecn
hitherto regarded at all Cut an official organ of the j
Government. On thcfollnwing day,(Friday,*)Imw- |
ever, in ronaeqnencc of aorne juggling which had |
taken place during the night, the Monitcur. the j
avowed organ. published following bulletin, which,
as may be imagined, produced not a little surprise j
in Fans*. I
“The President of the Council, Minister of For
eign Affair*, has to-day tendered his resignation to
the King.”
From which it would appear that the resignation*
were confined to M. Theirs himself. Upon thin to
pic, which would lie inexhaustible for surmise, we
shall not at present offer nny speculation, particu
larly a*, before going to press, we may have more
recent intelligence.
Since writing the above, the Paris papers of Sat
urday have come to hand. They me fully engaged
in discussing the Ministerial whereabouts. The
Cornier Frnncnise not unfairly u*»rrt" that "the
Monitcur has ceased to he the official Journal.”
Notwithstanding the indirect denial of the Moni
tcur of Friday, the Journal de Fans of that evening
publishes the following bulletin:
** Several morning papers of this day appear to
believe that M. Thiers hod retired alone from the j
Ministry, and that, consequently, the Cabinet still ]
exist*. j
" These journals were misinformed: The Cabi
net is dissolved. We are authorised by M. M. I*aa- |
ay, Hnuzef, Dupcrre, Mnison, and Petit (do la Ln*c-
re,) to declare that they meant to concur ill the re
solve of M. Thiers.”
With this singular drama the Paris press of Saiur- !
day arc fully occupied, hut the simple statement of'
facts above given is all that we deem necessary for j
the moment to copy from our Parisian cotemporn- |
ries. On the subject which led to this crisis—inter- (
vention in Spain—the Pari* paper* are equally rtif- j
fuse in comment. The Journal des Debats Contain* j
a furious non-intervantioun! argument, which it,
makes the vehicle fora tirade, unhappily button
strongly justified, against " the cut-throats 1 ' (egorg- j
sunt, j who have? usurped the Government of Spain,
made the Queen a prisoner, Ac. ami conclude* with I
the notable advise that the contending parties lie \
suffered ta fight it out. This view of the question j
as no doubt thnt of his Majesty of the Barricades, !
whose perception* havo lately received vast aid
from certain intimations convoyed by M. M Fnhlen,
D’Apjiony and Wcrthcr, cm the part of their Majea-
tics of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, and by which
the King has been enabled In perceive that General
I.elieHii was in error in the statements made by him
wf the goodwill of his Majesty for the liberal Span
ish nation, and that re-iuforccmanta were on their
march for the foreign Legion in Spain by his orders.
London, Aug. 2!t.—Letters and papers received
last night from Madrid come down to the 22d inst.
That capital hnd been the scone of fresh military
disturbances. In the evening of the 1 Hitt. n report
having been circulated that the first battalion of the
3»l regiment of the Guard* was hostile to the Con
stitution. the two battalions thnt had proclaimed it
at San lldefonso, together with the National Guards,
look arm* and attacked them in their barracks.
The soldiers from within returned the fire, without
well knowing why they were attackrd, and fourteen 1
or fifteen persons were killed or wounded in the af- !
frav.
fin the next morning, the soldier* of the two corps I
fraternised, and a reconciliation took place. Gen- ,
eral F.spaitero (another account says the Marquis |
Rodil) had been appointed Cominander-in Chief |
ad inlrrim of the army of the North, and General
Oraa (chief of the staff) • direrted to act in that I
capacity during his nhaPfm*. «eurral Evariste Han !
Miguel had been named Gaorralustiiio of the army

ina voted him imwc. \e of ffcr confidence of the rtn-
4ion. had Iteen reioewad wi their function*. IIv i

ished as incompatible with the Constitution of 1812, '
and all the liberal jouimh!h auppressed by order of!
Qitc**ndn hnd reappeared. JU Mtmdo was the on
ly Ministerial newspaper that had survived the '
•downfall of Isturiic. The Calaliav* Cabinet wn**j
not yet completed. On lha2lst an attempt to place |
Argmdles at its bead Imd been unsuccessful. It w as ,
rumored that Rodil would ngitin be invented with •
the War Department. The new Cortes, it was I
-thought, would meet on the 25th of October next.
M. Moreno, who was appointed on the Ifilh Minis- I
ter of Marine, aJ interim, had refused the appointment, j
and General Camba has since, by a Royal decree,
■been intrusted with the Warnud Navy Department*, j
All the under secretaries urn! clerks of the late Ad- |
ministration have sent in their resignation*. Istu-
ritz and Galinno are understood to havo succeeded
in making their escape, and are now upon their road
to France.
Poland.—An ordinance of the Emperor decrees
thnt the autumnal recruitment in Poland nml the
Polish provinces shall he to the extent of two in five
bundled, and in the eiuniro one in five hundred.
The peasantry of suvernl village* of the Palatinate
of Lublin have horn induced, either by the promis
es or the threats of the Government, to renounce
the Latin for the Greek Church, and the Rus*inn
priests have taken the places of the tyonmn Catho
dic Clergy. This is another blow against their na
tionality,’since in Rnsniii the Hovcrcigu of the cm-
■pire is the head of the Church Thu* adhesion to
the latter implies obedience to the former.
I French paper.
Conspiracy in Turkey.—Constantinople, Aug. 3.—
A report has for some days circulated in whispers
through the capital, and the uncertainty respecting
dt increases the general nnxio’y. The report is, in
substance, that nr. insurrection* was discovered just
on the eve of breaking out, and it was suppressed
with appalling severity. A certain Her Ivcdilo, of
thcclasM of the Ulema*, well known by the part j
which lie acted some years ago ns the Hultan's fa
vorite, has been here fur some time, though the in
trigues of tlio Hcrnskier Pacha succeeded at the
*atuo time ill getting him removed from the capital,
by his appointment to the post of Pacha of Triknla.
In the sequel Her Kedile was sent to fill an impor
tant post at Adrianople, ami some time ago summon-
■cd by the Hidtnn to Constantinople. Cnasreiid Pa
cha, and his numerous parties in the army, took thi*
as a signal for new intrigues, which, though at first
aiming only evt the overthrow of Her Kedile, are said
io have taken a more criminal shape. Hoiv far the
matter proceeded, and how it was discovered, nobo
dy knows; 41 seems, however, that ull ike measures
were ordered by the Hulian himself, and thnt he
likew ise acted ns judge. Ho much only transpires,
that a number of officers of high rank, among whom
are generals nnd colonels, and other persons in of
fice, am! Ulema*, have suddenly disappeared, nml,
it is said, within these few days, their bodies hare
been tnken up out of the sea, tied mu and two to
gether by the feet. Tbeic is little doubt, taking oth
er circumstances into consideration, that a cruel ex-
«cution, probably by tin; Hultau’a order, has taken
place. The plague continues, but ia pretty mild.

thnt a seriotta insurrection in the Republic of Ure-
guay hail tnken nlaca, headed hy the late President.
Accounts from Montevideo, state that tho capital
was in much confusion. Don Manuel Orihe, the
President, had issued a proclamation stuting thnt a
rebellion had also i niscd its head in the bononi of the
republic. Huccessful attacks had been made upon
tho Indians who hnd Imrnssed acme of the frontier
settlements. That the lluenos Ayrenn government,
hi conjunction with those of Hunts F*», Cordova,
and the other frontier provinces, had gone tar to nn
nihilate the Indians, who had escaped thecampuign
under Gen. Rosas, in 1833 aitd "<14.
The British Packet of the 13th tilt, says that pri
vate accounts from M outevideo state that the govern
ment there is much stronger than was supposed, and
possesses ample menus to put down any insurrec
tion, ns many induentml persons whit supported

A mutiny had taken place among tho prisoner;*

from the great disparity in numbers, they deemed it
prudent to await the nrrivnl of the friendly Indians,
who were tinder the command of Major Watson of
Columbus, Ga. A brisk fire was however kept up
by Col. I#ane, and the enemy held iu check till the
reinforcements arrived. As soon as the friendly
Imlinns caine up, a very animated fight across the
river ensued, which lusted some fifteen minute*;
when Major Watson ordered a charge, was himself
the first to cross the river, and foremost throughout
the light. The hostiles soon gave ground, though
slowly nt first, and fought with deaperntion fora
mile nnd a half, when the route became general.—
They were pursued by Col. Lane und his mounted
men, till night canto on.
Too much credit cannot be given to Col. Lane,
for the cool judgment and bravery displayed in the
management of this brilliant affair, lie wns much
exposed dining the action, and his life was nt one
time probably saved by a Air. Kelly of the regulars,
who seeing an indian faking aim nt the Colonel,
threw himself before his officer, and received the
hall iu his own body!

Colonel speaks in high terms of his conduct, Lieut, j

ARMY MOVEMENTS.
The U. R. Steamer Major Rauf., Lieut. ITowison
Commanding, arrived at Ht. Marks on Sunday last,
from the Suwannee River, having a large number
of sick snilors nnd soldiers onboard; passengers
t<* Pensacola; to which place the vessel is now re
turning to refresh and refit; having been employed
since June, navigating on this part of the coast, and
up the Suwmtnuc. Lieut. II. confirms previous re
ports of the sickness of the position of camp Call
—Suwannee Old Town—where five companies of
the 4th Irfiintry U. H. Army, have hecn encamped
the past three months. Twenty-four deaths have
occurred among them, and hot ween 80 and 90 of
the remainder are at this time ill, leaving only 30
reported for duty.
The Cotnmundcr-in-ehief, with the Tennessee
mounted Brigade, wero ferried over the river on
Tuesday tuui Wednesday last, and took up their
line of inarch the next day for the Indian settlements
on the Ouithlar.oochee: The guides had joined the
army and gave the troops grounds to hope for u
meeting with considerable bodies of Indians within
two more days march.
Tho U. 8. Steamer Izard, remained in the liver
to aid Brig. Gen. Read in establishing n depot at
the site of the old Block House on the Ouithlaroo-
chee; whither he was about to take with him the
Florida Militia; and to which point all the Infantry.
Marines and friendly Indians from the Creek coun
try. are ordered to proceed. The Tennessee troops •
had suffered hut slightly from sickness, and as the !
rainy season had terminated, nnd a full stock of I
supplies arc to be instantly placed within convenient \
reach, the campaign will doubtless progress with a ,
vigor and energy, which will ensure u successful

ASTOUNDING DISCLOSURE.
Wc published a few days ngo nn article from the
New York Daily Advertiser, charging n lawyer in
thnt State, who was just setting out in Ins profession,
with having persuaded nil honest hut less intelligent
Dutch neighbor, who wns embarrassed in his pecu
niary matters, to make over all his property to hint,
by tfie confession of judgment or otherwise, when
not a cent was due so that lie might, hy fluid creat
ing n nnnnnnl debt, get clear of hi* creditors, under
the two third act; ami telling him that subsequent
ly lie could have hi* property restored to hint, on
payment to the said lawyer of n sufficient sum for
his part in the transaction.
The property was made over, nnd the iniquitous
scheme consummated, nnd when the poor misled
Dutchman applied for a settlement, lie was threaten
ed by hi* lawyer tii\t if ever he mentioned thk
SUBJECT AGAIN, II F. WuUf.l) TUT HIM IN THE STATE’*
Prison for PERJURY.
This is the charge; and the Advertiser offers to
prove that TI1IH LAWYER !H MARTIN VAN
BUREN, and to furnish u names and dates a\ul cir-
eumstanrrs,” if it be deemed necessary by the editor
of the N. Y. Evening Post, (n Van Bitten paper,)
nnd n pledge given that if it he proven to lie true, :
the editor of the Post will not support Mr Van Bu
re n for the Presidency. The Post hesitate* to give l
the pledge, and the Advertiser again reiterates the
chnrffc, and savs:
"We renew our offer to the editor of the Even
ing Post, to fiirn'fdi him with the nnme of the M EAN I
nnd INFAMOUS PETTIFOGGING Presidential j
candidate, WHO PERJURED HIA1HELF ! and ,
tihorucd another to commit (unintentionally) per- i
ttrv—who hy thi* means DEFRAUDED IIIS ;
NEIGHBOR OF Ills GOOD NAME AND OF
HIS PROPERTY, and who then Til REATENED ,
to have him INDICTED if lie uttered a complaint.
But, the pledge in return wo require must he a sub
stantiality—something which intangible—something
which amount* to inoro than the Post's "equivalent”
—something more reliable than the Editor’s coin- j
initial against Banks—something more than bis vio
lated faith given to the Loco Focos, and something
that is more definite than a PROMISE TO DO any j
time between now nnd the end of eternity. When- j
ever such a pledge is given, we promise to change
tbc politics of the Post in a day, and produce a me
tamorphosis as great, though not more palpable an
thru which this former Loco Foco organ lias under
gone within a few weeks. YEA or NAY, we re
pent, Mr. Editor?
In the mean time, wc will snv toniir Whig friends
that we arc INFLUENCED BY NO FEAR, FA-
VOR or AFFECTION for the Presidential pettifog
ger.—Our silence on the subject of the names aris
es from the respect wc entertain for the living wit
nesses of the INFAMOUS TRANSACTION, nnd
because we will not drag a circle of the sufferer’s
friend* before the public, unless in our opinion the
common good DEMANDS IT nt our hand*!!!
And still the Post evades the question, thus evi
dencing its fear that the charge is true, and yet lack
ing the independent honesty to denounce n man who
would be guilty of such a crime.”
We hope, for the sake of humanity, thatthc charge
is not true, or that it may be softened in some of its
more important features, and yet it would appear
by the following extract from the Advertiser, that it
i* now for the first time published, but that hereto
fore Mr. Van Bitrcn has been successful in prevent
ing its general propagation:
" For our friends nt a distance wc will say, that in
making the statement of the ease of the MEAN.
MISERABLE PETTIFOGGER, who first PER
JURED HIMSELF. DEFRAUDED HIS NEIGH

fer thnt it is NEW. It is almost as old a* the histo
ry of the rise and progress of the INTRIGUER re
ferred to, and in this city, nml Columbia county, it
is almost ns well known ns the Magician himself.”
Under these circumstances, it becomes the friends
of Mr. Van Bitrcn toclenrhim. With such a charge
could think of supporting

achieved the victories, which gave Gen. Jack-
son the glorious laurels thnt once ntlorned his

TIIE COTTON CROP.
Much damage has been done to tho crop* nlnnjr

dnmngc done in that quarter :
" The ('rops.—U is melancholy to witness the
destruction which hns overtaken the cotton crop
within the Inst ten day*.—It is that length of time
since the equinoctial rains set in, nor have they yet
ceased. Shower after shower hns been upon »'*
every day, nnd they have hecn from half nn hour
to five hours duration. Often too have we hnd the
wind to blow "fresh and strong.” Cotton tlio) 14
nntlicted, cannot he dried on the scaffold*—much is
beat out in the fields hy the winds and heavy bin

weather has caused the plant to east it* young

Bint the crop will be diminished one third. Twen
ty days ago, it wns a fair calculation to say that nn
nverngo crop would be made, in the Feliciano*,
and a heavy crop in Point Cougeo—now our pla»'
ters would compound for a light crop. When tlm
weather is to change, none can tell but bint ‘‘who
