Below is the OCR text representation for this newspapers page.

While these convulsions are taking place, the Austrian era ire is in actual danger of dissolution by the continued suc ceßS 0 f the Hungarians. They are in possession of Gran and Kaab. Ayraraw is in their possession. In the meantime Russia is advancing a large body of troops against the victorious Hungarians, but all accounts concur in representing the excitement of the Hungarians as raised to the highest pitch, and that the united forces of Russia and Austria will be required to quell this national insurrection. — \ctual endeavors are being made to create a revolution in Gal lici.a, and in fact frdin Posen to Pesth the whole country is in volved or on the brink of actual hostilities. The important facts is stated in the London papers of the 11 th, that a joint note the production of the Courts of Great Britain and France has been addressed to the Cabinet of St. petersbnrgh, intimating their disapproval of the intervention ( ,f Russia in the Austria —Hungarian dispute, and insisting that such interference be withdrawn. In Italy the advance of the French Expedition towards Pome has “been checked by the resistance of the Republicans of the Roman States. In two encounters the French were driven back with great loss, and Capt. Oudinot, unprepared for such a reception, has withdrawn his troops four leagues from the city, and there waits for reinforcements and further instructions from his government. The French had 180 killed and 400 wounded. The Danish war still continues, but it is conducted on both Bides in a feeble and languishing manner. On the 7th inst., rm engagement took place in which the Danes were defeated. The loss on either side is not stated. From Paris the report is still repeated that the rupture be tween the Prgsident and M. Napoleon Bonaparte is complete- A fierco quarrel it is said rages betwoen them. Their quar rols increase the dangers which surround the bodies of the arniv, the privates and officers of which seem to have been greatly wrought upon by the Socialists. A serious riot has taken place in the barracks of the 7th Light Infantry, stationed at the Hotel des’ luvalides. Ser jeant Major Byrchot having had his name placed among the list of Socialists candidates for the Assembly, was arrested, the men insisted in his release, a riot of serious character ensued. The officer was discharged and defied and at length Brychot was sent off to Vincennes, but not without great difficulty.— One regiment has been sent away from Paris. The same in subordination prevails in many regiments, as the socialists, by unceasing efforts, continued to seduce the soldiers from their duty; but the check which the French troops have met with, in the Papal States, has moved all France to the centre, and touched the people upon their tenderest point—the glory of Franee in Italy. For a Friend of the Family. 3lr. Editor At the solicitation of a friend I was in ducedto visit the Portrait room of Mr. Voigt, and am com peted to acknowledge myself pleased beyond anticipation. Tho resemblances are very striking and a more accurate deli neation of form and feature could not be traced ; and the se lection of colors and sliado tasteful, while the most minute criticism must pronounce his pictures, executed by a masterly hand. His likenesses cannot surely’ be considered second to anv other than nature's own workmanship. I would recom mend him particularly to the notice of the lovers of the line arts, and those who might wish to possess a most perfect re membrance of those from whom we may sooner or later be separated. So correct a limner has not visited our city for some time, and I really hope that his zealous efforts to please may meet with the success he justly merits. E.

COLMAN’S QUATRIEME IN PARIS. “So you desire an account of my Robinson Crusoe life in Paris, and I shall proceed to give it to you in plain prose, premising only by the wa y that you seem as familiar with Parisian phraseology, as if you had been horn and bred onsepteme of a French Hotel Mcubic. ‘■J, then, Henry Colman, of lawful age, a citi zen ot the grand Republic of the United States (hurrah for the thirteen stripes and stars !,) and lor many years a subject of her royal majesty, Queen Victoria (God save the Queen!,) do depose mid say, that I reside in a street of Paris called La rue Chaussce iV Ant in, running from the Boulc vordsto St.Lazure, straight as an arrow, clean, well built, full of fine houses and line shops, and magnificent hotels in court yards, and crowded ear ty dawn till late at night, I had almost ‘ s md umil the return of dawn, with carriages, c lariou, omnibuses, chaises, wheelbarrows, la irs and women (generally very handsome m- Var mhhmaids, laundresses, grisettes, Lorettes, <- n lonniers, fashionables, and Normandise with ieir butterfly C ap 3; short, one of the most imiic, and one of the busiest, and one of the p ea^cir) test streets in the town. Imn in the fifth storv- —the lower floor is not counted, and the entresol, or second floor, is not counted ; I am an quairiemc, and mount six flights 0 Mairs to reach my resting place. Being fat nnd ‘P ur sy,’ and having very short legs, you may depend upon it I have often wished for some elevating machine, by which the summit could )e reached without having to double up my joints one hundred and thirteen times—for that is the number of stairs. Now young and etherial per sons like yourself, so gay, so transparent, so light of step, would go up like a sparrow a whole flight at a time. “From my eyrie-nest I look down upon the moving world with philosophic composure, and breathe an atmosphere far superior to the grovel ling sons of earth below me—(ask the chemists if it is not so.) My nest, however, is very small. I have hut one small room; three good closets; a brick floor, which I like, because it saves all noise, covered with a thick carpet; a bed, lona enough if I don’t grow any, which I have conclu ded not to do for the present; a chest of drawers, surmounted by a stuffed parrot in a glass case, who looks very civilly at me, and says nothing, though I feel occasionally quite embarrassed at the closeness of his inspection ; bed, linen, cov ering, most clean and excellent; an open fire place, with a movable grate, which J purchased, and in which 1 burn dry wood and good coal ; three easy chairs, and two with upright hacks, which l prefer, for fear of affecting the grace of my movements; and, to crown the whole, three good-sized mirrors—so that you see, I am never without company, though it is only the reduplica tion of that of which one sample is quite suffi cient—certainty one at a time. “ I breakfast in my own chamber at nine ; rise at half-past six ; get very hungry before breakfast comes. The servant brings mv allow ance of bread, butter, and cream. 1 boil my own tea-kettle ; make my own tea ; buy my own su gar, candles, &c. ; have the Daily News to read in the morning—which sometimes, on account of the ill-temper which it shows towards America and Frafice, obliges me to put more sugar than, us uni in my tea. “In dishabille I wear a grey frock coat, plaid waistcoat, grey trousers, silk neckcloth, black slippers, occasionally varnished ; and look very grave and wise, when, raising my head from the table, 1 let my spectacles drop on the end of my nose and comb my few straggling grey hairs with my fingers, presenting in such cases a very fine study for an artist. “ 1 have a man-servant fornty frame d.chambre, attentive to a fault, full of good nature, honest, and so willing to serve me, that I take care never to call on him for what I can do myself, and some times almost frighten the cap oil’ of his head by my frantic gesticulations, when I cannot make him understand my French, though 1 understand it perfectly myself. “I stay in my room, extraordinaries excepted, always until three o’clock ; go sight-seeing ; dine at an English restaurant at five —can’t live at a French cafe —dislike the French cooking —don’t know whether your eating frog, cat, or baby ; evening with friends or at the theatre, rarely at home ; get sleepy at eleven ; crawl to bed at twelve o’clock; think of my dear friends in America and England ; sigh so hard as almost to untack the bed clothes; wish them all kind of blessings; fancy I see them ; never knew I ever loved them half so much ; pray for them, and dream about them ; sleep quietty six hours; try not to let the sun get up before me, though, I con fess. to my shame, I sometimes find him peeping into my chamber to see if I am awake ; feel dreadfully about my sins always when I first awake, and try to quiet the paugs of conscience by a strong dose of good resolutions; think again of my dear friends ; thank God from 1 lie bottom of my soul for his mercies ; and wonder why I am not a poor, miserable outcast, shivering, starving, nuked Irishman, or beggar, as hundreds of others, whose claims seem as good as mine; and am amazed that I have education, character, plenty to eat and drink, so much to make me happy, and above all, friends, friends who love me, but who cannot love me half so well as I love them. But this won’t’ do. I open ray eyes ; spring out of bed; take my cold hath ; raise the window, to breathe the cordial of cordials, the fresh and fragrant air of the morning ; and go again to a succession of labors and enjoyments. “ I could not afford two rooms. I pay thirty five francs a month, with ten francs for service. My breakfast and tea cost me —I don’t know what —though an egg, for example, is-five sous, and a small roll of bread, of which one can eat two, costs three sous. Tea is dearer than in Eng land ; sugar and candies cheaper; wood is sold by the pound, so is coal, and are both clear, though my fuel has not cost me more than in Eng land, because of more economy in the use of it; dinner of roast beef, potatoes, apple-pie, cheese,, bread, and half a bottle of wine, are half a crown.” — Col man's Letters - The Sword and the Pen. — A Fable. —The sword of the. warrior was taken down to brighten ; it had long been out of use. r lhe rust was soon rubbed off’, hut there were spots that would not go ; they were of blood. It was on the table, near the pen of the secretary. The pen took advantage ol the first breath of air to move a little farther oil. “ Thou art right,” said the sword; “I am a had neighbor.” ‘‘l fear thee not,” replied the pen, “I am more powerful than thou art; hut I lo\c not thy society.” “1 exterminate,” said the sword. “ And I perpetuate,” said the pen; where were thy victories if I recorded them not? even where thou thyself shalt one da\ be in the Lake of Oblivion.” — From an Ancient Hebrew Apologue, The Indian population of California Is sixteen thousand, nine hundred and thirty, and that ol New Mexico, thirty-one thousand nine hundred.
