die Ministry, nod installed tin; Duke of Welling
ton as Dictator of the Kingdom. You will see
the particulars in the papers. A more desper
ate attempt could scarcely he imagined. The
present House of Commons consists of about
•150 Tories, ami the remaining SOS arc all either
W Jiigs or Radicals. A dissolution may possibly
add 100to the Tories, but this is the utmost;
which would still leave a majority of 150 against
the Field Marsha'. The Tories seetn already
frightened at what they have done, as they have
not ventured to nppoiut a single Minister of ihe
new Cabinet except the Duke. The Court of
Chancery required some one to carry
«m its daily business, and Ex-Chancellor Lynd-
hurst has been appointed provisionally for'this
purpose. The people have hardly recovered
front their astonishment at an outrage and insult
on tho part of the court absolutely unprecedent
ed. No one nmcrtninsn doubt of the result. In
vain have the Tories bought the Times Newspa
per, which is non lauding the man it abused a
few weeks ago. It* circulation has already sunk
two thousand in consequence. The public is too
enlightened to care a straw about the shifiing and
mercenary polities of newspapers. Thank God
there is plenty of intelligence, and energy in the

to protest that he is ready to give all explanations

The lofty character of that Nobleman served to
keep down the spirit of discord that, began, to
show itself at an early period, and the rival claims
to the lead or ascendancy in that Ministry,, after
itis withdrawal, left no alternative but its dissolu
tion. Lord Brougham and his associates appear
to have hecu running a race of popularity very
much like that of Demagogues, each striving to

Mr. Elliott, the .Eronaut, attempted to make
an ascension in New Orleauson Sunday last, but
the wind proved too stroug. After seating himself
in liis balloon, and cutting loose, he was swept
violently across the arena, where the spectators
had gathered, knocking down several persons in
Itis passage. The sudden pu.Tof wind by which
the balloon was thus driven, continued as it rose
above the enclosure. The balloon next encoun
tered t. chimney top, which was overthrown by
the concussion. By this dreadful shock Mr. El-'
lion’s thigh was bruin u. Part of the bricks of the
chimney falling iuto the car, prevented the bal
loon from rising higher, and it was afterwards
dragged over housetops and walls, ami dashed a-
gainst windows till the .Krouaut's bauds, face. &

length the cords of the hallmm became- entangled
on the inasts of two vessels in the river, aud for
tunately for Mr. Elliott, his farther flight was
checked.' In his passage over the buildings in
this city, some of the cords by which the car, was
attached to the balloon were sundered, and the
iEronr.ut afterwards sailed with his head nearly
downwards, it is said, if lie recovers from his
wounds and bruises, lie will owe his life mainly
to the gieat presence of mind, that he maintained

Paris. Dec. 2.—Certainly, if a project of law
has become of political importance in the midst

that body alsrays surrounds its deliberations, has

If we may believe those who say they have
obtained some informn'ioti iu regard to a matter
which has greatly excited public ruriosity, the
following are the particulars, which we give with
out guaranteeing tluir veracity.
Some of the members of our Chamber of
Commerce, impelled, it is said, by a most,ardent
zeal to tako the initiatory steps iu those ques
tions which may he important to onr commerce,
proposed to tlu-ir colleagues to address to -minis
ters, in the shape of tlie result of n consultation,
a petition expressing the desire entertained by
the commerce of lluvrfe that the law of indemni
ty of tweuty five millions claimed by the United
States, should be adopted. Good reasons for
this were not wanting. Such ns the interests of
French commerce aad tho necessity of maintain-
j«g between the Unitcit States and this country,
tho perfect good understanding which had exist
ed for so long a time, and exercised so favorable
nn inilueucc on our commerce ; but uufortunate-
lv whim it became necessary to tako a vote on
. die subject, the proposition was Inst. The advo
cates of the petition pressed the subject, and de
manded a rc-ronsirleration of the vote, but were
again out-voted by a large majority.—Jour, du
Havre.
On the 3d mid 5th the Chamber* would not
assemble. On ihe 3ih the promised explanations
are to bo gtvcu by tho French Ministry, and a-
tnnngsl them the treaty with this country will,
no doubt, stand conspicuous. Should it appenr
that the Ministers do not possess a majority iu the
Chamber of Deputies, it is |x>siiivcly stated that
that body will be dissolved, and that ill. Thiers

for “solemn assurauces of the intention of the

Anecdote of an American Artist.—Mr. Dunlap,
in his uew work on Arts aud Artists, relates the
following stage coach adventure of the late dis
tinguished painter, Gilbert 8tuart, soon after bis
arrival in England. Some of his fellow travel
lers interested in his appearance, resolved to
“spier him out,” and to that end plumply asked
him the nature of his call tag and profession :
To the round about questiou. Mr. Stuart an
swered with a grave face, and serious tunc, that
be sometimes dressed gentlemau.s and ladies’
hair (at that time the high craped pomatumed
hair, was all the fashion.) “You are a hair dres
ser, then?” “What?” said he, “do you take
me for a barber ?” “I beg yonr pardon sir. bur
I inferred it from what you said. If 1 mistook
you, may I take the liberty ,to ask you what you
are then ?” ‘’Why I sometimes adjust a cravat."
"Oh you are a valet, then, to some nobleman!”
A valet! Indeed sir, 1 am not. I am not a ser
vant, to lie sure. I make coats and waistcoats for
gentlemen ”—“Oh ! you are a tailor!” “Tailor
do 1 look like a tailor ? 1 assure you I nevet ban
died a goose, other than a roasted nuc.” By this
ime they were all in a roar. “Whet tho devil
are you then ?” said one. “I’ll tell you,” said
Stuart, be a- sured all I have said is literally true
I dress hair, brush hats aud coats, adjust a cravat,
and make coats, waistcoats, and breeches, and
likewise boots aud shoes, at your service.” "Oho!
a boot and shoe maker after all!” “Guess again
gentlemen, I never handled a boot or shoe, but
for my own legs; yet all I have told yon is true
We may as well give up guessing.”
After checking bis laughter aud pumping up a
fresh flow of spirits by a large pinch of suuff, he
said to them very gravely. “ Now gentlemen 1
will uot play the fool with you any longer, but I
will tell you upon nty honor as a gentleman, my
bona fide^profession. I get my bread by making
faces’.” He then screwed his couutcnaucp aud
twisted the lineaments of his visage iu such a
manner as Samuel Foote or Charles Matthews
might have envied. When his eompanious, after
loud peals of laughter for “having all the while
suspected that the gentleman belonged to the the
atre,” and they all knew that he must be a com-
ediau by profession, to their supprise, he assured
them tiiaf he was never ou the stage, and very
rarely saw the inside of a playhouse, or any
similar place, of amusement. They uow all look

The intelligence we publish this evening from
England, may lead to important changes in the
political state of Europe. Should tho Tory par
ty retain office. Great Britain aud France cannot
continue allies, and that system of the balance
of power and international relations established
by their joint councils and maintained by their
joint power and resources, will of course come
to attend. The influence of Russia, Prussia and
Austria, in the affairs of Europe, will naturally
he re-established, and the relations of the powers
of Europe undergo an important change.
The state of Great Britaiu herself appears to
lie critical. Tlie doctriucs of the Tories arc di
rectly at war with public opinion. Ireland re
quires but a spark to ignite the combustible ma
terials within her bosom. In this condition of
affairs tho most delicate management seems ne
cessary to prevent a popular outbreak iu Great
Britain and Ireland, that would involve the whole
country in irremediable ruin. The Duke of
Wellington has hitherto shown a disposition to
meet public opiuiou by timely occasiou. What
has been achieved under the auspices of Whig
councils cannot uow bo destroyed by high Tory
influence. Parliamentary reform has been gain
ed aud gained forever, aud up to this po.nt tbe
work of the Whigs cannot be disturbed. The
Tories may arrest the onward march of iuuova-
tiou by selling limits to a spirit of change which
appeared to menace the safety of British institu
tions of every kind. Beyond this they cauuot
go."

Speculation continues busy on the prospect of
a war with Franco. For our part, we entertain
no fears of such an event. Our government will
uot declare war; and we cannot be induced to
believo that France will commence hostilities
even should tbe measures recommended by tbe
President of the United States be acted out. If
France should resort to war in consequence of
reprisals, as recommended, it will show to the
world that she only waited for a plausible excuse
for doing so; that she never iuteuded to satisfy
our demauds, and that her whole proceedin
this subject has been marked with deception aud
hypocrisy. If she really feels the an\iety which
is pretended to satisfy our claims, she will not
wait until our cruisers attack her commerce, but
will at ouce come forward with the cash.
Some preteud to think that war will he the
inevitable consequence of the President’s ines
sage. We do uot believe so ; aud even if it
should, it might as well come now as ever—for
sooner or later it must come, unless our demand
is satisfied. Even should we relinquish our claim,
which some .pusillnuimouAly recommend, rather
than hazard tho chance of war, it would he no
security for repose. Other nations, or the same,
might repeat the like trespasses on our property,
umlor the idea that we would not resist it, until
our whole commerce was destroyed, and our
flag driven ‘rom the ocean.
After the mild course pursued by our govern-
tneut, France can have no pretext for delay—
nor do we think she will delay. If, contrary to
our calculation, and every principle of,right, she
should do so, we are clearly of Opinion that re
prisals ought to ho made, lot the consequences he
what they may.
Nor do we look upon a foreigu war as such au
awful calamity. It is no more than a brush be
tween two neighbors, which perhaps clcais off’a
long standing account ami leaves them good
fricuds ever after. It was an observation of one
of our greatost patriots and philosophers, that
wars were as necessary to tho moral world as
storms and tornadoes to the natural. We be
lieve so too. Aud though, if estimated in dol
lars aud cents, a war might cost us something,
it will not in the end cost us so much as a dis
graceful surrender of our rights. We might be
sides gain the reputation for spirit which we
have nearly lost, and retain the respect of foreign
nations. Aud if wo succeed in learning Mon
sieur a useful lesson, we shall have gained
enough.

dense and opulent populations. In urging the
Fircuit plan,—besides the sp irseness of popula
tion, may be mentioned the fact that many per
sons may be induced to make arrnngeuicets for
nttcuding these two-day schools, whose condition
in life precludes every-day attention to any thing
of the kind : their almost constant labor aud care
bei;:g necessary for family susteuauce. Added
to this may be another fact,.startling no doubt to
some, that a teacher of good tact and taste may
actually cause a class to make more ol real intel

made by the same persons or scholars in the eve
ry-day attendance. Iu proof of this theory may
be adduced the great improvement known to be
made by hundreds of paupers and others at our
city and country Sabbath Schools, and owing
doubtless to a greater degree of pupillary exer
tion caused by the novelty of the meeting, aud by
the great respect and regard felt for the f.acbers,
whose presence being only periodical, and other
circumstances, exclude every thing of tbe monot
onous and repuguunt, necessarily or actually ex
istent in our primary and common literary com
mon schools.
Conversing with an experienced instructor, ce
lebrated for success in teaching orthography, or
thoepy, aud reading, ho declared himself con
vinced that he can iu a giveu time, do more good
by thisju-rioJical plan, than in the usual course:
This uo doubt is some measure consequent r.u
his rare tact iu exciting curiosity and emulation,
two powerful impellents in tlie journey of educa-
catiou.
Tbe plan here proposed is thought to be well
worth experiment, and, consequently, worthy of
being suggested to that part of our community
needing the benefit derivable from it. My object
is not to write a finely spun essay, but merely to
drop bints to produce reflection and to elicit
thought from abler heads: if this object be attain

IN SENATE, Tlesdat, Jan. 6. 1635.
Mr Clay, from tho Committee on Foreigu R e '
lations, to which bad been referred that part of
the President’s Message, appertaining to our re
lations with France, made a report, which con
cluded by a reiolutiou, “That it is in expedient al
this time to pass any law vesting in the Presided
authority for making reprisals upon French prff
erty, iti the contingency of provision not being
made for paying to the United States the indem
nity stipulated by the treaty of 1831, during d* 6
present session of the French Chambers.”
The following resolution offered yesterday
Mr. Calhoun, was taken up and adopted;
Resolved, That a Select Committee be appo" 1 '
ted to inquire iuto the extent of Executive P al '
ronage; the circumstances which have rmitu "
uteci to its g-ent increase of late; the expedieiicj
and practicability of reducing the same, and
means of such reduction; and that they bate
leave to report by bill or otherwise.
Ou motion of Mr. Calhoun, it was ordered ti 1 "
the Committee consist of six- . .
Mr. Calhoun wished that the Committee tin? 11 '
consist of two members from each of the polu^
cal parties. For it is well known, said Mr- F- l ‘ ieri
are different political interests in the stcnsF 1
That when heconsid red the extent of Executive
patronage and influence, aud its important c* lc ‘
upon our future prospects, he wished to g° j 11 *j
its consideration free from all prejudices, u“d
give it nu impartial consitferatiau. He wbW
the committee might be immediately appo |ntc ,
Mr. Poinrcxter proposed that the election ^
the committee would he postponed til! toiii° rlv
morning.
Mr. Calhoun objected. . ^
And so the Senate proceeded to ballot fo r *,
