The lady was married—and I a bach- 1 eior of thirty-five, wl o had never so much as breathed a soft word in a lady’s ear, had been nigh commencing my apprenticeship hy making love to the mother of two children. It made me sea-sick. And Wilson, too, so many kind things as I had done for him—so many scrapes as I had got him out of, and now to put upon me such a trick! Verily there is no such thing as gratitude in this world- “And what is friendship but a name!” I rose mechanically, and walked down to the cabin—a suppressed titter greeted me, and I saw Sam and Ned together, enjoying mv discomfiture. They, too. were in the secret, and doubtlessly the first movers of the vile plot, the cruel deception. I sought my berth, which I did not leave till the next morning, af ter the boat had reached the wharf, and every passenger landed, and the black steward had assured me, “on de honor of a gemman,” that he and myself were the only living beings on board.

AIR “MARSEILLES HYMN.” Rise, man the wall, our clarion’s blast Now sounds its final reveille; This dawning morn must be the last Our fated band shall ever see:— To life but not to hope, farewell— Yon trumpet’s clang, and cannon’s peal, And storming shout, and clash of steel, Is ours, but not our country’s knell; Welcome the Spartan’s death—• ’Tis no desparing strife— We fall, we die, but our expiring breath Is freedom’s breath of life.” “Here, on this new Thermopylae, Our monument shall tower on high, And ‘ Alamo' hereafter be In bloodier fields the battle cry.” Thus Travis from the rampart cried, And when his warrions saw the foe, Like angry billows move below; Each dauntless heart at once replied, “Welcome the Spartan’s death— ‘Tis no despairing strife— We fall, we die, but our expiring breath Is feedom’s breath of life.” They come—like autum’s leaves they fall; Yet, hordes, they onward rush; With gory tramp they scale the wall Till numbers lhe defenders crush, The last was fell’d the fight to gain— Well may the ruffiiaus quake to tell, How Travis and his hundied fell, Amid a thousand foeman slain. They died the Spartan’s death But not in hopeless strife, Like brothers died, and their expiringbreath Was freedom’s breath of life Judge Porter has had a dinner given to him at Nashville. Tennessee. He made a very happy speech. Nashville was his first home in this country, to which he referred as fok MRHMntaßtaiable who knew me " ti-l lings t ' i in»m them. It is indeed most me, to see that I have not bee i for- A'e'h, and that my conduct since I left them, . has been’approved, I may too, add, that from no part of the United Statesor of Louisiana, could the sanction of my conduct as a public man, afford more satisfacion than from the tow i of Nashville. It was here the most important part of my life was spent, because it was that portion of it in which character is proved. It was here 1 grew up to manhood, and here I first lerarned the lessons of freedom and in dependence which I have since endeavoured to practice. Nothing therefore, can be more delightful to me, than to see that my teachers think I have not forgotten the instructions they gave me, —that I have not proved myself un- the school! in which I was taught. I remember well, gentlemen, the time, the day, all the incidents of the moment I bid adieu to Nashville, and threw myself ongboa rd of a flat boat to descend the river in the hope of bettering my fortune. I was young, I was Ingoing among strangers, and I was leaving friends that I loved. I was poor and I had yet to try whether I could succeed in the pro fession which I had chosen, (a professio i which, by the way, I principally owe to the advice and suggestion of a friend now at the table.) I we 1 remember, gentlemen, how lit tle I heeded the movements of the boat as she slowly receded from a spot consecrated to me by so many affections. Such was the state of my feelings—such the misgivings that possess ed my mind, that nothing but a fear of the ridicule which would attach to my irresolution prevented me from getting on shore at the first convenient opportunity, and returning to spend my life here. When I recollect my feelings and position then, and contrast them with my feelings and position now, is it not surprising, gentlemen, that you are able to perceive that I am poorlv at my ease, and that I can but faintly express, what 1 strongly feel. I am now here, after the expiration 0f26 years, with b ttered for tune, which I owe to myself—and occupying a proud position which, I do not owe to myself but to the generosity & confiding kindness of the people of Louisiana, who h ive ever foster ed protected and advanced me far beyond my merits. It is said, gentlemen, by Addison, in one oflhose delightful essays in the Specta tor, (a work which must ever hold its place in the human mind so long as purity of thought and diction has any charm for it,) that one of the most affecting situations tn which a human being can be placed, is a man’s return to his place of nativity, after a long lapse of years, with an improved fortune and an approving conscience.—Gentlemen, I feel atthisrnome t all which the imagination of that writer con ceived. I have ever considered Nashville as my second home. In nautical phrase, “I have ever hailed from it,” and I am proud that my place of departure is sanctioned by you. On my return here, I rejoice to see that there is much to felicitate you on, as well as to grati fy me. Great and surprising changes meet my eye on every side. Your State and town 1 perceive, have had their full share of the general and rapid improvement which nearly all ®f this Union has partaken of, in the last quarter of a century. The country around this place, which was once as familiar to me as the fireside by which I sat, has now become strange to me, under the influence of addition, al and improved cultivation; and your city, then an inconsiderable village, is now become the capitol of the State, and comparatively a large commercial emporium, exhibiting deci ded evidences of an increased developemeut of the comforts, the elegancies, and charities of life. But amidst all these changes which the face of nature pi "»«*uts, or industry has produced, I rejoice to find itr.. respect I can discover no change. My friends xre unchanged.

The history of the dissolution of the Theirs administration may be told as follows.- [ am answerable for the correctness of my state ment, both to you and your renders 1 he late President of the Council was al ways of opinion that from the moment the co iflict in Spain assumed a serious shape, bv the escape of Don Carlos from Loudon, and his arrival in th Basque provinces, France ought to interfere avowedly add actively—cap ture Don Carlos—destroy the Curlisl army— obtain a gei eral pardon for the Basques and Navarrese, and aid in placi g the Queen on the Ihrone with a sort of '■juste milieu” Gov. ei umeut, and “juste milieu” constitution. As well during th.- admi i stration of the Duke de Broglie, as during his own, he often urged this hue of policy on the King of the French; and predicted, over and over again, that if this system shou d not be adopted, either Don- Carlos would succeed in obtai .ing the Throne, and would establish absolutism at Madrid; or else that the republican party would rise, and, aVI i?

Ibe King, Madame Adelaide, and the am bassadors ot the northern powers, were al. ways opposed Io this advice, and to this policy Ihe King was resolved on not iuterve >ing in the affairs of Spain. Even the assistance which was given to the Queen Christina, i u the shape of a foreign legion, headed bv the brave Gen. B ruelie, was opposed to his wish es and convictions—and Louis Philippe often legretted that he had not simply confined his proceedings to guarding the French frou.iers, and a lowing of no sort of interference on cith- I er side. At last, the French legion obtained a sio-nal I victory over Villareal. The Carlists were defeated by Gen. Beniell ■. A newly formed lohsn squadron of cavalry assisted in obtain mg that result; and Cord >va and ilarispe a greed in opi ion that, if from 20,000 to 30, 000 volunteers could be raised in France, and be gra lually introduced into Spai ~ and ho a French Genera), the result would be most satisfactory f >r tlie cause ■-! ih • Que.-.:. t In this measure, the King a.-eeiffid wiia ■ gr al r.du ttui.ee.

Ihe affair of the Logie i was. fir the moment, forgotten. “ I herewere some differ j nces of opinion,” said the Jon rm Ide Paris. | but these are now at an end. The events » which had occurred were reported to h ive z set all to rights—and the Thiers Cabinet w.,s ’ saved’! ■ But these were incorrect reports. True, r M. 1 biers consented not to go on , I rue, he agreed to Gen. Bernelle and his men 3 returning to trance, T IUl ’. he agreed to wait. . and see what course would be adopted bv the . Calatrava Cabinet at Madrid. All this was . settled. So far good. But this was not ) enough. The King required that the author , of the “revolt!” at St. 1 Idefonso and Madrid t should be shown that France would not recog. s iiize the constitution of ISl2—would not stif . for the alleged “imprisonment” of the Queen j —would not sanction any democratic move. . meat or form of government in Spain—and l would withdraw all allegiance from every . Spanish government which should not be ba > sod on “juste-milieu,” or even perhaps “Doc . trinaire” principles. M. Thiers refused to consent to such a line ; of policy. He was quite as much opposed to i the co istitutio i of 1812, as was the King of . the French, or the norther,) powers of Europe; but bethought that if it should be given out in . Spain th.it France had abmdoned the Literal . cause, in consequence ofthat constitution being | proclaimed, the french Government would, | I of course, lose all its influence at Madrid— ' the democratical feelings of the Spaniards | might be excited to the highest pitch—and, . I driven to see and to feel that they must do .all themselves, they would proclaim the Republic as the sure and certain means of extinguishing Don Carlos and all his army. Thus,'’accord ing to M. Thiers, the last case would be worse than the first. Tho King of the French. Madame Adelaide, and M. de Montaliyet reasoned difiereut.lv. 'lhey were of opinion that the Foreign Legion should be dissolved— that the milmiry camp formed at Pau should be broken up —that the Spanish Liberals in power should be made to fuel that France, or her govermne it, was no j more tor them or their cause—andth.it if they ' wshed to escape destruction by the Carlists, they must leturu to ‘more wholesome doctrines,’ and to a “more monarchi.d government,” be fore they could expect or receive even the in direct support and protection of France. So the question arose, of whether the French Legion should be broken up—all French troops recalled—the corps at Pau disba.ided—and France remain a simple sp ctator; or wheth er the troops at Pau should remain as they weie, and the troops in Spain remain inactive, until the Spanish Government mid Cortes i should show what were their intentions and I policy. The King would not yield. M. Thiers I would not give away. To'disbrntd the troops j he Mould not consent. The King gave orders that, they should be disbanded. ' Al. Thiers gave orders that they should not. This st te 'd things could not last; M. 'i’hiers gave in his resigaation, and it was accepted. With res pact to (he coadjutors of M.

So little dread of an enemy prevails i i the eountry at prese.it, that the inhabitants are q lielly cultivating their lands, and attending, it would Seem, theatrical performances.

We believe we hazard nothing inexpress in<r conviction that the good of the cou Ury is the moving principle with these three officers, and that they would most cheerfully unite m sustaining and supporting the commander-in chief whom the government might think prop er to appoint. If then, amongst ourselves, the man who is exactly qualified in even’ respect cannot be found, our eyes would naturally turn to the- United States, for the purpose of selecting such an individual. To that country we have always looked with an anxiouseye in the hour of peril, and from the citizens of that country, ve have uniformly received the warmest sup port, without which it would have been abso lutely impracticable to have sus'ained ourselves as a nation. In that cou itry are to be found many, very many officers wh • possess in an eminent de gree the qualifications required. From that country, we are inclined to believe we can call into requisition the services of a general in ev ery way competent to control the destinies ot our army; of one whose thrilling war cry would be heard from the Atlantic to the Sabine; and whose bantier would scarcely be unfurled, be fore thousands of the bravest hearts would flock round his standard, and thus enable Texas to dictate terms to Mexico for peace. ....
