LETTER FROM SCHRTZNECKI TO GEN
ERAL LAFAYETTE.
We translate from a Paris paper of July 22nd.
the following letter from the Polish Commander-
Nearfv at the same time an express arrived from
King Leopold, demanding the aid of a French ar
my to preserve the neutrality of Belgium, and to
repel the Dutch. The French King immediately
convoked a Council, at which M. Perrier and all
the late Ministry attended. The result of their de
liberations was the publication of an Extraordinary
Edition of the Monitenr.
Tne deci ion of the French is at once prompt—r
hold—honorable—and in accordance with the of
ten expressed feelings of the Nation. But tiie
question arises, what will be the consequence of this
step? W c answer—war with Prussia—war with
Russia—and very probably war with Austria! At
present this seems unavoidable from the appearance
of things, for it is impossible to conceive that the
perfidious King of Holland, with all his obstinacy,
would have been inad enough to precipitate a war
without the secret encouragement of Prussia and
Russia. But he will yet pav dearly for his temeri
ty.

FROM THE MONITEUR OF FRIDAY, AUG. 4.
Paris, Aug. 4.—The Duke of Orleans and the
Dake of Nemours have set out to-night at half-past
11 o’clock, for the army, of which .Marshal Gerard
Dt«» take die command in chief.
Paris, Aug. 5.—A telegraphic despatch, sent
clear, and the Dutcli masters of the whole of Bel
gium ; the greater part of tiie Belgic army threw
themselves m Louvain. I do not believe there have
been many either killed or wounded. Their con
duct is disgraceful, yet one is almost inclined to pi
ty them; they liave but few officers, and those
they have were the first to fly. Had they not
been-in the habit of bragging most intolerably, and
settnfg the whole of Europe at defiance, they
doubtless have received assistance; but they
spuraxl tiie Ditch, anil browbeat every oth-
or nation. I think the peace of Europe more like
ly to be preserved now, than it would liave been
had the Belgians been victorious.
His Majesty left Louvain l»y the Brussels gate
(all the others being guarded by the Dutcli) about
eleven o’clock, with a small detachment of Lancers,
and crossed the country to Malines. Within five
minutes of his Majesty leaving the high road near
this city, a regiment of Dutch Cuirassiers took pos
session of the Chausee; the King could hardly
have hpen out of sight. The Dutch then advan
ced to Cortenberg, about eighl miles from Brussels,
and look possession of the whole of the heiglits,
extending to within a leag'ie of Terruern.
The French troops who have been lying at Hal
le and Waterloo, ebtered Brussels, with the two
oriuo/s about 2 oV'ock. The enthusiasm with
which they were jtcraven neany equaled tne recep
tion of Leopold.—Marshal Gerard arrived in the
morning, and was greeted with evcYy exclamation
of joy. The Belgians have to thank the French
for the safety of Brussels. The number of French
in this city is about 5,000, infantry, cavalry, and
artillery.-
Very early this morning, General Beliiard pro
ceeded to the head quarters of the Duke of Saxe
Weimar, and remained with him a considera
ble time. Tne Duke ceased Operations after the
interview with the General. In tiie course of the
interview the General mi le known to the Prince

DESTRUCTIVE HURRICANE AT' AUX
CAYS, JACMEL, JEREMIE, AND St. JA-
GO DE CUBA.
Baltimore, Sept. 12
The schooner Cicero, W atts, arrived here yester
day from Port au Prince, whence she sailed on the
30th August. From the report of Captain Watts,
and a paseenger in the Cicero, we learn that on the
night of the 12th and the morning of the 13th of
August, a violent hurricane passed over the town
of Aux Cays, and nearly destroyed it, leaving only
eight houses standing- ‘The loss of lives was im
mense, supposed to De not less than eight hundred
to one thousand; the bodies of seven hundred per
sons were found after the storm had subsided. The
vessels in the harbor were destroyed; the brig Cal
lao, and the schooner Pomona, both loaded for Bos
ton, were wrecked, the Captain, Mate, and two
seamen of the brig saved; the entire crew of the
schooner perished.
The town of Jeremie was almost in rains, only
ten or lvvelve houses standing. Many lives were
lost: the President narrowly escaped being buried
under the ruins of his house, wnich was blown
down.
The town of Jacmel was nearly destroyed, and
all the vessels in the harbor totally lost.
The crops of all kinds in the vicinity of the towns
of Aux Cays, Jacmel, and Jeremie, were very much
injured.
A British sloop of War arrived at Port au Prince,
previous to the sailing of the Cicero, the officers of
which reported that after the late hurricane she
had put into St. Jagr de Cuba in distress, and had
found the town nearly demolished; many lives were
lost, and all the shipping in and near the harlxmr
had been destroyed. Two American vessels had
been driven ashore near the entrance of the harbor,
and it was supposed that all on board had perished,
no bodies having been found on or near the wrecks.
The coffee crops in the neighborhood of St- Jago
suffered severely, and much injury was reported
to have been done in the vicinity of the town.

together with various reported movements among
the slaves in this vicinity, have rendered it pru

tropolis; and in common with other citizens, the edit
ors and workmen, in our office, have been for a
day or two past, engaged in this important duty.—»
The subject is now under investigation by the civ
il authority of the Town—the result is unknown—
but the matter will be probed to the bottom, arid if
any seditious intentions exist, they will probably
be detected and punished in an exemplary way.—*
Nothing definite up to the hour (12 o’clock on
Wednesday) has been ascertained. A very exag-.
crated account reached us yesterday from a part
of Jones county—but ha3 not been confirmed.—
The Town was ready for any emergency. While
therefore we would not create any excitement
through the state, we think it prudent for our fel
low citizens to be on the alert.
We offer this as an apology for the imperfection
of our paper. Duty called off our workmen—one
of whom is sick; and we find it. prudeni to employ
only so many as will accomplish the ordinary busi
ness of the week, without any considerable loss of
time. We prefer to send out our paper in an im
perfect state, rather than disappoint our subscribers
and advertising friends.—The election returns
come in slowly. We give the few that we have
heard from, without vouching for their accuracy.

DISSOLUTION OF THE FRENCH MIN

Paris, Tuesday evn’g Aug. 2.—The alleged
tttreugth of the French Ministry disappeared on
the first division of the Chamber off Deputies. Al
ter much time occupied with preliminaries, they
proceed to the election of President. M. Lafitte
was a candidate tor the situation, hut he was ob
noxious to Ministers, and accordingly they used
every exertion to prevent his i*.*ing elected. On
the ballot there appeared fi» r M. Girnd de 1’Ain, the
Biinisterial candidate, 181; for M. Lafitte, 176; giv

No free government has ever existed without
some conflicts of opinion: and whereyer these coi»*
flicts of opinion have been stifled, they have ended
in revolutions most bloody, or in governments more

a wise and merciful Creator, it is impossible, that

the same way, it becomes the duty of those who
