New. York, May B. —The .steamer Britiuiu
reached Boston at 12 o’clock, M., yestejday
morning. She brings the important iutclligttnce
that : M. Ledru Rollm had at length made the
formal attempt to destroy the Provisional tnv.
erinnent in Franco, and that troops were arri
ving every moment in Franco, from all part) ot’
the country.
The greatest excitement and alarm had teen
created in Faris, and throughout the county by
these alarming events, and soeues of the Most
momentous character were momentarily ex ec
ted.
The financial crisis in Paris was apparently
subsiding, though business and trade was fetill
much depressed.
There was no change in Cotton at Liverpool
on the 22d, though the market was firm.
The market f>r breadstuff. was firm at an ad
vance since the sailing of the America.
Ireland continues in a very critical state, and
the excitement among the people to
increase rather than diminish.
Arms are in brisk demand, and the petjple
are being drilled with pikes and rifles, despite
the threatened interference of the Government.
Indeed, there seems to be no longer any doubt ot
the fact that Ireland is on the eve of a civil war.
The Chartist movements in England has set.
tied down quietly, and the signers of the mon
ster petitiun arc calmly watching the action of
Parliament.
Most alarming demonstrations of public opin.
ion continued to be made, and it was the gen
oral opinion that bloodshed was not far of}'.
Paris lias been the scene of one of those ex
t raotdiiiary dt nu in tint ions which can only oc
cur in thut capital. Fortunately it has passed
off without blood shed.
A. M. Blanque having been stung to madness
by the publication of certain papers alledged to
lie found at M. Guizot’s hotel, which impeached
his political character, fulminated a most bitter
ptiillipic against the provisional government —
declared the documents published-o be forgeries
—and inveighed more bitterly Mans. Moruut
and M. Lamartine, in terms not easily to he
forgiven. He swore to overthrow the govern
ment.
It seems that a plot was actually formed to in
timidate the Provisional Government and eject
Lamartine, Marrast, and other moderate mem
bers therefrom, and form a now government,
consisting of Ledru Rollin, Cabot Bladgni,- Al
bert Louis Blanck, Flocoin Arabo, Raspaiel,
and Pierre Leroux.
A meeting was accocdingly got up for the
Champs ds Mars on Sunday night with this ul
lerior object. However, Mons. Lamartine and
Marrast having got previous intelligence f the
plot, circumvented their designs. The National
Guards, as well as the Mobiles, were called out,
and the critical state of things, which threatened
’ a complete reign of terror, furnished the Pro
visional Government with the pretence of miii
! tary display.
All classes now deeming the lately proscribed
troops of the line as defenders of order, life and
property, a couple of regiments were brought in
-Ito Paris. Cannon, for the first time since the
I revolution, were placed liefore the Hotel do Ville
|of the National Guard of Paris. No fewer than
one hundred and twenty thousand men assem
bled at tbe quuys and Boulevards, joined by fur.
ty thousand of the Boulien or suburbs.
To those were added 20,000 of the Guards
Mobile, and this bndy, between which and the
National Guards some jealousy had previously
existed, fraternized as they passed end other.
and their common difficulties were buried in ob- j
iivion. , ‘ . . ‘ j
The cause of quarrel between M. Ledru ‘Rol- •
lin and bis colleagues, is said to have been as
follows.
A deputation came to Paris from Amiens, for
the purpose of presenting a petition for the re
moval of one of Ledru Rollin’s commissaries, on
account of some violent proceeding l.e had in
dulged in thp exercise of the unlimited powers
with which he and his fellow coin rtisiaries had
been invested by M. Rollin. M. de Lamartine
and several other members oftlie Provisional
Government are said to have admitted the mis
conduct ofthe commissaiy, and stated that he
ought to have been remnv ed.
M. Rollin refused to sacrifice a functionary
who, if to blame at alt, was not only guilty of,
overzeal in the cause of the republic. Upon
this, a violent scene ensued, and words passed
between the different members ofthe provisional
government which caused a wide breach in the
councils ofthe nation.
A fresh agitation’ has been got up in. Li nden
for the extension of suffrage, equitable taxation
reduction of government expenditures, and the
advancement of Rt'loni) principles tl.r ughoul the
kingdom. Forty members of Parliament assist,
ed at its formation.

The Mail Derangements—Again. --The pres
i-ent want of connexion of the Northern Mail at
Uarnesviiie. is uw.ng to the change o‘ .Schedule which
j was eiUutul.a short time since, through the agency
10l bis Excellency, Gov. Towns. The object of the
j the change was so to connect at Atlanta, that the
i travel up arid down the State Road should be eon
timmas to arid I nun Augusta and Macon, and that
| there •should be no laying ova rat the Inrmer place,
us has heietfiore been tlie c.t-e. Under tie former
arrangement, by which the cars trom Atlanta bring
ing the northeiu mail would meet the cars lr< m Mu
j con at or near Bartlesville, Mr. Gritlih agreed to con
; vey tbe mail tiom Baniesville to Columbus for 5 e-ts.
! per annum or for nothing, because of the roncentra
| bon ot tlie travel bum two great hues of R.,it Roads
lat the eastern terminus of his coach line ! This was
| in tact, the consideration which induced Mr. Gritfin
| to take the contract tor carrying the mail between
Bartlesville and C/olunibus, and a statement to this
| (’fleet was written out and bled in the Dcj arttnent at
j\k aphington. Ihe contract, moreover, wa;* for a
tri-weekly line with the condition, that if a. daily line
i ot coaches was run by the contractor, be was bound
, to take the- mail, daily, al.-o.
Tbe schedule-, however, being changed, and an in
| terval of eight hours now existing between the arn
ica! of the upward and downward trains, daily, at
i Bartlesville, borides a stoppage of passengers over
j night, at .Macon. Mr. Gritiin is suffering a great loss
’ Irom a diinnuition of travel on his route, i'assen-ers
will not submit to a detention of right horns at
liaineeville and 12 at Macon, if they can do better.
| Consequently, theie has been a material failing off,
, lately, in the travel through this place. Under these
circumstances, Mr. Griffin is not to blame air send
: ins 011 passengers from Baniesville. in advance of
j the northern mail, provided there are six pas.- engers
j trom below that desire to come forward, li less than
! six, Mr. Gritiin waits for the mail train.fioih Aflan-
I ta. though much against the interests of his line and
, much-to the inconvenience of passengers. Ue lias,
j again .and again tcuioastrated with the Department,
on account of the c(tango ot schedule, ami demands a
just remuneration lor the service which he is rc jiiir
e’l to perform, under the new arrangement, but as yet
: without receiving a satisfactory reply from the I'ost
; master General ! lie is therefore, about to proceed
! in person to Washington, to endeavor to adjust the
| matter, on equitable terms to ail parties interested,
| ’.rut we tear, with but little prospect of successful ne
| gotution. However, this may l>e, Mr. Griffin is en
| titled to the thanks ot the public of this section, for

MACON, Oa. Way 15,1848.
Dear Junior: I had aoaie.
df the be'iiifrtfot arraftgementa of the present mail
“route front Columbu* to this city, oh my present trip,
hither. The stage arrived at Barnesville, at 8 o’clk
of the morning after I left home, and there I had to re
main full eight hours before the train from Atlanta
came down on its way to this city. I endeavored te
pass the time in sleep, to make op for the wakeful
ness and fatigue of the rough land trip from Colum
bus during tbg night previous, but did not make more
than a “cat’s nap” business of it, without receiving
much refreshment. The villagers of Barnesville,
are. I believe, well coutept that the Muscogee Rail
road is likely to prove a failure— the trade of tho
place depending chiefly upon the custom of some
twenty miles around and west of ft, which they think
will be cut u.T, in the event of our
ed to that point. The present arrangeto
! passengers is of course profitable to tbpjveeper oHk
1 Hotel and Stage Office at BariypnziUe, though I must
| Jo Mr. Tukxer the juslfeeto say that he does not
I take advantage of thejJetention of passengers at bis
< house, to lay u-nsaint high tariff of duties upon them
i tor the _ LUfmLn,idiiti<>na furnisheds For two good
meals and the use of a room and bed-, the charge
was only one dollar. • ‘ . ‘ .
On our passage down, we hbd a veryffanny soak
ing rain during a travel of some 20 miles, but which
did not reach as far as this city, where everything
is dry and dusty. ‘
Business is extremely dull in Macon, even more
so than in Columbus. Almost every day is Sunday,
in appearance, which perhaps has given a hint to
the religious people of the place to make it-m, in fart
—a protracted meeting being now in thp “full" tide of
successful experiment ” in the Mettiodist Charcli,
which is densely, crowded, every evening, in attend
mice upon the ministrations there kept up. Quite ft
number <> r pupils of the college, anil others have,’ 1
understand, bowed themselves at the anxious seats of
the altar. Fo wags the world ! A week or two ago, the
horse-race, theatre and cock-fighting were in the as
cendant here, now the prayer-meeting and religious
conventicle have taken the place of such worldly
amusements — and it is to be hoped, with more profit
to those who are “exercised thereby.”
I notice that the Delegates to the Baltimore Con
vention are on their way to the place of meeting,
which comes off on Monday next. The Georgia del
egation will probably cast their votes, firstly forjudge
SVoodbury, und secondly lor Gen. Cass or Mr- Jam.
K. l’olk. The nomination of Woodbury would please
the Calhoun men and some of the politicians of the
towns and cities-, but I appreliend that he will be con
sidert'd a ikic man to the rank ami file ofthe Democ
racy, Ins sentiments on various important political
questions not being mors clearly defined than are
Gen. TavlorV.
Mr. Folk i* likely to get into more trouble about
his friend Gideon Pillow. It ie one of the strange
facts in the history of the limes, that tlie President
j has not yet sent in to the Senate Gen. Pillow’s and
j Gen. Cushing’s names for confirmation! They were
appointed to tbe military stations they now liold ( in
toe recess of Congress, and the Senate has men in
session nearly six months, without having tiie op
portunity ot acting upon the appointments. In the
case o! Gen. Cushing, 1 apprehend there would be
no difficulty, but the nomination of Gen. Pillow now,
would most assuredly be rejected. It would seem,
at least, that the President has been afraid that his
I peculiar Inend Pillmv would not have a chance to
linger the pay of a Major General, and has therefore
kept back the nomination from the Senate. To in
|it appears a strange atiicir—for w> honorable man
| would desire to bold office without the full consent of
I the apjminting power, which is tire President “ by (hr
miner and consent of the Senate.” As it is. the ac.
sent of Mr. Polk alone has been given, wbirh was
valid only til! tlie meeting of bis Constitutional ad
visors.

Preaching and lin-UAiuis.—We are o* the **•
ot uu exciting discussion between the. Pulpit and the
Piess, on tin-subjects of P’ire and brimstone,k.‘ HeM/
‘ Grogs-lmps,’ • Primitive Clubs,’ and their concomit
ant associations. This battle in the arena of piety,
morals, ivory .balls, etc. has ‘opened rich,’ and wo
are anxious to witness the result of the moral coo
test. It is doubtless true that
“Variety is the epice oflii*
That gives it all its flavor,”
and vve nave tbe promise, in the present instance,
that the adage will lose none ot its truth, from the
pungent and peppery nature of the matter under phi
losophical manipulation ! As the weal Let, however,
is rather warm, we think that the analysis of the hoi
subjects involved should be postponed till a cooler
season; ->

Alt who value tbe blessings of a political Un
ion, founded on the guarantees of our National
Constitution, will regret to sec the cursed spirit of
abolitionism controlling those fraternal tcetings
which should direct the conduct of the Church of
Christ.
At the Methodist General Conference at
Pittsburgh, the delegates from the Northern
States have unanimously resolved, that it is not
proper at present to enter into fraternal relations
with the Episcopal Church South.
On the fifth day the CdnsmiUtte on the State of
the Church j epoj-ted upon the letter of Dr. Pierce,
which, after discussion, xvas m>niod ag-jfl
read— • ‘
“ Whereas, a letter from the Rev. L. Pia-ee, D. D
delegate of the Methodist Episcopal Church South’
proposing fraternal relations between the Methodit
Emscopal Church North and live Methodist Episcopal
Church South, has been presented to this Conference •
and whereas there are serious questions and difficul
ties existing between the two bodies :• therefore
Resol, t.l, That while wc tender to Dr. Pierce, all
persona! courtesies, and invite him to attend our
sessions, this General Conference does not consider
it proper at present to enter in fraternal relations
with the Methodist Episcopal Church South; nro.
vided, .however,.that nothing in this resolution snofl
be so construed as to operate as. a bqr to any propo
sitions from Dr. Pierce, or any oilier representative
of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, towards
wards the settlement t>f existing difficulties between
that body and this.”
“And adopted by yeas and nays as follows: yeas •
117, nays 0, absent 3.”
