Brighton, March 3.
Arrival of the Ex-King of France and
Queen nj the French at Ncwhatcn.—We
have great pleasure in announcing the
life arrival of the Ex-King and Queen
of the French. * The king on landing
was habited in a green blouse, and blue
overcoat, borrowed from the captain of
the Express—the king had not, in fact,
a change of clothing.
The Ex-King and Queen have for
some days past been moving from farm
house to farmhouse in the neighborhood
of Treport; they were ’nearly exhaust
ed by fatigue, and on his arrival the
King stated that a night or two back he
thought be must have given himself up.
On Thursday Louis Philippe and the
Ex* Queen, with a male and female at
tendant, who had, during the week, con
stituted the suite of tbeir royal master
aud mistress, embarked ia a French
fishing boat from near Treport with the
intention of attempting to cross the
channel at son. The party was picked
up by the Express Southampton and
Havre steamboat which immediately
steamed for New Haven, off which har
bor she arrived at 7 o'clock in the morn
ing.
On lunding, th<5 Ex-King and Queen
were welcomed by the inhabitants, near
ly the whole of whom flocked out and
were gratified by being shaken by tlie
hand of Louis Philippe. The King and
Queen proceeded to the Bridge Hotel,
and his Majesty's first act on reaching
the hotel, was to despatch a messenger
to Brighton to procure the attention of
Mr. Backhouse, and the second to write
u letter to our gracious sovereign, com
municating the intelligence of bis ar
rival.
The following,

Our latest foreign news is not much
amount, but is important.
Sicily.—It is rumored at Marseilles
that the King of Naples has complied
with the demands of lire people of Sici
ly. The Ministnr have resigned.
Italy.—The Jesuits, alarmed by the
hostile demonstrations made against
them by the people, have already quit
ted the city of.Turin. The journals of
Turin fully appreciate the tendency of
the French Revolution, and now are
encouraging the king to put himself at
the head of the national forces to effect
the salvation of Italy.
Prussia.—A correspondent at Cologne
writes,that the middle classes of Prussia,
as in other Rhenish States, are deter
mined to achieve political independence,
and have potential voice in government;
they are peaceful, but resolutely devot
ed to the country, and firm in asserting
their rights.
Austria. 1 —The resignation of Mettcr-
nich was announced for a certainty in
Paris on the 8th instant. There was a
grand council of all the ministers imme
diately held on hearing from Paris.—
Couriers were despatched in all direc
tions. Count de Flabanl, French Am
bassador at Vienna, is said to have faint-
hearing the news of the abdica
tion of the king. He started next day
for England. Thirty thousand troops
are to advance to Italy, without delay.
The account of the revolution in Paris
reached Vienna on the 1st instant, and
produced a profound impression. “ The
consternation which prevailed," says a
writer in the National, cannot be de
scribed. The 5 oer cent metalics fell
from 91 to 82. l^e intelligence from
Italy, received in Vienna, was any thing
but satisfactory.
Bavaria.—At Munich a risingjlias ta
ken place, and a constitution has been
extorted from the King at the point of
the bayonet.
Prussia was arming, but wont inter
fere.
The German Slates are on the brink
of a volcano;
Spain.—In Spain, lue French" party
was overthrown.* Christina was in de-
spair—-Marvaelliad proposed suspension
of individual guaranties of liberty. Two
millions of pounds were obtained to
support the Queen and throne.
Great Britain—It could scarcely
have been anticipated but that the great
At Dumfries and Paisely riots were
ipprehended.
The Effect iu England
The London. DUpaifb, ibe fending
Radical journal of the great Metropolis,
holds this language when speaking of
France:/
Advance 19 her" motto i it must'be
ours, Europe's, the world’s. -Wc must
have no : faltering here. The Ftench
have declared that “ this time there must
fnistake." They, have a right to
any guarantee for this that they may
prefer. If Kings have betrayed them,
let them, if they choose, try Presidents.
It is no matter of ours, exempt to rejoice
in their bravery and success. We must
have no diplomacy : nothing but a frank
avowal to all the States that we arc the
natural allies of free institutions, and
that, if we meddle at all, it will be to
maintain them. We trust our Ministry
may prove equal tq.the emergency this
great event casts upon them. We trust
that they arc r«uly 4ospke the right side
in tire war ol opinion, heart and soul. : —
We would forgive them much, and for
bear in more, to combine France and
England heartily through their media
tion. All lands, to Poland and the Cau
casus, would ring with blessings for such
an union. And we have full right to be
mindful of ourselves. Our Reform Bill
was a cheat, put upon us as the inter
pretations of the Charter were pul upon
the patriots of July. We have been
stopped with our oligarchic “ finality,"
and we are proving and enduring.jis
practical effects. Wc need no violence.
The National Guard speaks
because the unarmed have been there

lic voice will do here. We shall have

frage, Triennal Parliaments, the de
struction of privileges, entqils.andGame
Laws, the reform or abolition' of the
Chancery and Ecclesiastical Courts, the
assessment of the public burdens;
these are our just demands and proved
necessities. If we have now a chance
of clniraing them effectually, let us say
with the French, “ This time there must

s<“ and a host of others.
We find the following report of Col
M’s speech in the N. Y. Courier & En
quirer, to which we invite the attention
of our readers:
Col. Morrison, of Ills., was received
with long cheers which were renewed
again and again as he offered to speak.
Silence having been obtained, he pro
ceeded to address the meeting:—Fellow
citizens of New York, I feel
ditiary degree of embarrassment at
pearing before you to address you at all
on this occasion ; but most certainly af
ter witnessing the enthusiasm to which
you have risen, and the high pitch of ex
citement to which you have been brought
hv the great eloquence of the friends
who have addressed you, my embarrass
ment is greatly increased; and, under
these circumsiances, there is but one
motive which could operate as
ducemeni to appear before; you
is to have an occasion of speaking at
Taylor meeting—of speaking in his
praise. This is the sole rrtotrve which
rid induce me to appear before you
this occasion, and not that I could
adil anything to what lias been so elo
quently and ably said by those who have
preceded me—nor'indeed that I could
say anything which would pay you for
listening to me. But, gentlemen, I have
enjoyed advantages which many of you
now present have not possessed, and of
which I will speak to you. I have known
and loved and Jollowcd General Taylor.—
I have seen him in the camp among his
soldiers, enforcing discipline; I have
seen him at his table dispensing the so
cial virtues around him ; I have seen him
with the enemy, thickening around him,
when he turned his breast to buffet the
storm, .when mounting the heights of An
gostura to the bloody bpltle of Buena
Vista, when a dark' storm covered those
towering heights—such a storm as is now
lowering over us; l have seen him when
robbed of the gallant and veteran sol
diers who had fought and conquered
with him at Palo Alto, Restrca de la Pal
ma, and at Monterey; I have seen him
when abandoned by the government, whet had
deprived him of his regular soldiers, and left
him to the support of an American guerrilla
force—a force ofvolunteers who had neverfir-
eda shot inanger ; I have seen him in these
circumstances turning and relying con
fidently upon himself with that piercing
eye which never failed to point out to
him the right course to pursue, knowing
and understanding the kind of force with
which he was surrounded; that it was
a force with which he could not turn his
the twelve hundred men who, were left
as'the fragments of- thfec regiments
which bad held the front/P position, and
had fought all day—and Is ay it with all
proper modest}' that of those litree^regi-
nrents, two were from my own fctate,
Illinois, aud the other one wqs the gal
ls ht and lamented' McKee’s, of Ken
tucky,—but these three regiments . re
duced to a fragment of twelve hundred,
three quarters of an hour 1 before sun
down on that awful day, when they ad
vanced to make that last aud blpody as
sault with the gallant Hardin of Illinois,
and McKee, who are now gone—who
led them?. What do the, records say?
Who led those fragments of three regi
ments into the field ? They were led
by six field officers. And, of the six field
officers fee were of that traitorous band
of Whigs. (Loud cheers.) And of those
five Whigs who led'those men three seal
ed their devotion to their country with
qtnuhied with 1 the contents of this de
spatch* which, nevertheless, was known
to Mr; Trist, and which the latter was
instructed to show Gen. Scott at the
lime. Between Scott and Trist there
wds from the beginning the very worst
understanding; great officious super
ciliousness on the part of Trist; and un- 1
feigned contempt and disgust on the
part of Scot*. The latter seemed to la
bor under the impression that Mr. Trist
had-received from the President the’
power of dictating an armistice wher-.
ever lie thought proper, while h6 coh-
tcmled that time and place for the con
clusion of it had properly been left to
the discretion of the Commanding Gen
eral.
“ Gov. Marcy’8 letters to Gen. Scott
show that* while the conduct of Mr.
Trist was not approved of, jet it was
deemed proper that Mr. Trist, after hav-*
ing concluded a treaty with Mexico*
which treaty being ratified by the Mex

ratification at home, should inform Gen-

Scott aud Trist Correspondence.
AN ABSTRACT.
The Washington correspondent of
the New York Courier gives the follow- ! cr ' me
ing summary of the Scott and Trist cor
respondence, the whole of which will,
.it is said, fill 500 or 600 pages octavo.
“To-day the long-promised corres

may be equalled, General Taylor cannot
be excelled. (Loud and long continued
cheers.) But, gentlemen, there is a sub
ject to which I would refer for a moment.
I have since my return to this country
listened with deep and painful regret to
charges which I regret to say thatTheard
but-a short time ago on the floor of Con
gress, that the majority of that great and
patriotic party—the Whigs—are traitors
—are .guilty of moral treason, because
they* dare to believe and to say.that this
war,, in which we are engaged, was
brought on by the imprudence of the
leaders of the political perty in power,
and because they think that it has been
prosecuted beyond that point which the
safety and the.security of the country
demand. But, gentlemen, when the
tocsin of alarm was sounded that, the
country was in danger; that the.aid of
.bee.sons was needed—where then were
tire Whigs ? In the words of an elo-
at the proper time.
“ In regard to tho charges preferred
by Gen. Worth agtinst Gen. Scott, and
the demand of the latter of a court mar
tial to try Gen. Worth for “malicious”
insinuations and slanders against the
commander of tho army, Mr. Marcy, in
hife letter to Gen. Scott, of the 13th Jan
uary,-1S4S, dwells on the impossibility
of trying Worth without first examining'
his charges against Scott', inasmuch as'
the appeal of ah inferior officer from the
decision of his' superioi*, to thfe Presi
dent, does not of itself* constitute a
crime; and because if such appeals
were punished as insubordinations, it
would eventually debar theiri 1 frottf'asfc-
ing for redress of grievances, and this
defeat the ends of justice. Gov. Marcy
objects also to a court martial now,-
when so many officers are wanted, in 1
the field, perhaps in active operations'
against the enemy, and argues that a'
court of inquiry would answer all the'
purposes for the present; and intimat-’
ing that if before that court Gen. YVorth'
were to fail to make out bis charges
against Gen. Scott, then a court martial
might be convened to try Worth on
Scott’s charges.

correspondence; with the - accusations
