.PARIS AND LONDON.
Extract from-tbe European Correspondence c
National Intelligencer: . 1 .
" 1 hid supposed Paris to be the gayest the noblest
-" of capitals; 1 was wrong. Tkis'city has indeed its
.special .beauties splendors -and advantages. The
'British metropolis nearly twice as large is not less
magnificent either west or east ; it is more wonderful
. !ia both divisions stupendous and matchless on the
whole. Although the weather was not dry or bland
"during any month everyday had sunshine enough
for all my purposes. Tho climate of Paris may be
preferable in the main or on the average; that of
London satisfied me in April and May because I
could risit without 'discomfort or the least injury to
health the gardens and parts the environs "the
churches the libraries leading rooms club houses
theatres meetings exhibitions without number and
witnessed equally without cause of complaint the
displays or the Easter holidays and all the manifes
tations incident to the death and funeral of the Duke
of Sussex and the accouchment of Queen Victoria
At no period of the year is so much action in the
way of concourse show celebration public worship
snd pulpit oratory social and dramatic entertain-
ment crowded into the same space of time. Scarce
Iv a word was necessary for thorough access to
whatever a man of my tastes and pursuits could wish
to inspect livery lacilily was at once aliorded with
a kindness and patience beyond the utmost 1 had ever
experienced. This you may presume put me in the
oest numor wun London and the Londoners; I be
lieve however that the sentiments ol favor and ad-
miration with which I am filled are due to essential
meiits and marvels far more than to any personal
complacency. There are nearly two millions of
people wno constitute a potent nation within thp
limits of the panorama : I was at first highly excited
and dazzled by the glories of the West where I
lodged squares and crescents of palaces ; fields
groves waters town and country together with
every possible splendor and attraction; an array of
equipages and the luxuries internal and external of
aristocratic and opulent fashion with which French
royulity brilliant as it is and the pretension of the
richest and loftiest Paris life specious as they are
and mainly just might fear to compare themselves in
general effect or even in common detail. When I
frequented tha centre and the great arteries so called
nnd gazed from the bridges on the Thames and its
nore and then p?ssed mornings (from nine until
four) amid the movements and edifices of business in
the docks and warehouses and the establishments
embracing all ruligious and Intellectual objects as
well as those or trade which the city can boast the
mass of operations and achievements and tha grand
results strucK my vision understanding and imagi
ginalions with no less force: Anglo Saxon qualities
and commerce seemed to me to have accomplished
what exhibited human agency and human affairs
more imposing and efficient than any other scene an
cient or modern.
These modigies of acute and comprehensive Intel'
ligenco energy and perseverance genius and science
in design and consummate inventive skill in execu
lion belong chiefly to individuals or private associa
tions not to the Government: in this respect the con
tmry must be said of the glories of Paris. Incredible
bustle and throng prevail from ten in the morning
until five oi six in the afternoon in the streets and
passages leading adjacent to the seats of business but
nothing was more unexpected or surprising to me
than the absence ol noise and pressure where busi
ness is transacted. I saw no confusion no crowdinsr
no perplexity for a moment from an ykause. in the Pay
Hall of the Bank of Enghnd or in the famous Long
Room of the Custom House; in the London Docks
there was not perceptible noise or movement enough
to attoid an idea oi the immensity ot the incessant
transactions throughout the day. The magic of or
der method habit composure machinery could not
be more remarkably exemplified. Passing through
the huge storehouses and endless vaults and along
the wharves with news ot masts belore I asked my
conductor where were tho thousands of laborers and
Tehicles that must be employed in the processes of
landing depositing transporting the merchandize
from all regions of the earth. Topographical ar-
rangement and police discipline seconded by charac-
ter temperament and custom accounted for the phe-
nomenon and such it is at all the great assemblages
theatres included which I wimesscdjespecially when
compared with matters of the kind in France. Un-
armed police functionaries are numerous; vet it
seemed sobriety of demeanor and universalgood
humor as if they could be dispensed with even on
the spots and occasions attracting the greatest multi-
tudes and requiring the most earnest dispatch. It did
not happen to me to observe a single disorder; the
jamming of vehicles hovever. in Cheapside Fleet
street and all the precincts of St. Paul's and the Man-
sion House; "trie Anti-Corn Law meetings; the East-
er festivities ; tho opening of the picture galleries;
tha Sunday Hyde J?ark migrations; the array of
hundreds of thousands at the Royal obsequies were
sufficient opportunities. The Thames Tunnel dur-
in? the half hour at noon which I spent in it. was
as quiet and solemn as the aisle of any one of the
temples.
THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY AT
WINDSOR.
We take the followin " Peep at Royalty from a
visit to Windsor Castle." by Mrs. E. R. Steele of
T... .t ... tln T nit....' Pni..!.. f 1 I

:' The most perfect of parks is Windsor Park as
we gaze upon it over the battlements of this charming!
waitc. onuer man vcivri is me ongoi greens wara
wUhtne finest designs are the copses and groves and
contrasted with the nicest care thedifferent tints of the
rich foliage around. Turning we look upon the mag-
nificent cast front ot the Castle supported by four
square towers lighted with projecting bow windows
ofthe Tudorstyle. and oriels decorated with beauti-
ful tracery. Here a'e the dinning drawing and pri-
vate rooms of royalty. From the Library in the cen-
tre a door opens upon the terrace from which a broad
flightjof steps leads down into the blooming garden
glowing with every shade breathing perfume and
decorated with statues of bronze and marble. If you
would seethe Queen however linger not to gaze at
the noble trees ofthe park or the brilliant garden ;
but pass along the terrace and descend the steps when
you will find yourself before the grand entrance and
south front of the Castle. Then take your station a-
mong mat crowa-oi men ana women wno line eacn
aide ofthe road which leads down to a gate at which
the Home Park 'ends; Beyond. that gate weiee a

Iy rising for three mile? at the. summit of vvhieiiii

macot. This noble avenue is lined with" two rows of
trees srt each side between which is a footpath.
" The-i Grand Park' contains about one thousand
oflhelcight hundred acres-is slocked with fallow deer and
adorned with several pretty 'royal villas and contains
the charming lakelet of Virginia w.ter. Beyond this
park are the ihades of Windsor forest. Look around
at these noble parks and up at the stately castles at
the grand gateway with the towers of York and Lan-
caster on each side and say if this and the magnifi-
cent apartments you have viewed with us be not n fit
ting preparation of your mind for the sight of-the
powerful Queen who rules over a sixth part ot the
human. race and upon wluse dominions the sun nev-
er sets. The people are some of them very well
dressed and are. many of them strangers ; but the
greatest part are wives and daughters of the sbopkee-
persof London adorned with gay silk dresses bonnets
covered with flowers and ribons of every different
hue with that taste for glaring color which charac-
terizes a cockney lady. The people become fidgetty.
peep through the iron bars of the gate into the quad-
rangle and question the scarlet clad sentinels who
arc passing constantly before the entrunce. At length
a man appears; we all form a line; and be passes a-
long entreating us to stand back a little and make a
broader path "as her Majesty rides a new horse and
is fearful he may injuro someof'the people." "Per-
haps she is afraid some of her people may injure her"
siid a man at my side : and as it was soon after the
attempt was made upon her life by Bean that might
have been her idea.
"The man retires and locks the gate we all stind
tiptoe watching now they are thrown open wide and
a young lady and gentleman quietly come forth on
horseback. Their dresses are exactly as one would
sre on dozens of fair equestrians in London and New
York. She wore a blue broadcloth habit with a
small linen Colar and lead colored kid gloves. Her
hat was the usual ndintr hat of black beaver. His
dress was the usual dress of a gentleman and his hat
was gray beaver with a blacfc crape band in honor
of the late Uukc ol Orleans. These were the Uneen
of England and Prince A Ibert. her consort Shade of
Elizabeth how would thy ruff sink down with amaze
ment hadst thou beheld thy descendant then! 1 who
had only read of Queens in books which tell of their
grand doing and their gorgeous robes was not quite
prepared lor this simplicity. Behind her rode the
Prince and Prirfcess of Litnengen similarly attired
except that her hat wanted the short black feather
which the Queen wore. A barouche filled with
four of the royal suite and two outriders comph-ted
the cavalcade. Victorit is of middle size and rather
plump. Her hair is ef dark brown plaited on each
side and lucked behind the ear. Her features are
like the portraits we see of her her eyes bright.
She looks before her with a flush and anxious air
and bowed slightly on each side with a sweet but
pensive smile while the people round took off their
hats and courtesied in silence. Prince Albert raised
his hat several times. It was expected she would
have pissed down the path but pointing with her lit
tle hand to the left rn equeny rode forward the
line was broken and the party trotted over the g.-ais.
much to tho disippointmentof the spectators below
is.
A? they gravely walked over the grass I look
ed after them and thought bow much happier and
mcrier a party would they have been if they had not
been so exalted in station. Alas' how sad a thing is
royaltj! Whai an infatuation to place one. of our
kind inheriting all our passions and affections and
frailtiis upon a pedestal where they ntust live the
part and euact the scenes which are expected of them
whatever the distaste the joy oi the sorrows they
may feel.
"Domestic life is but a show they must live in
public ay live as it pleases thp public or they are
rudely torn down from their high places nnd given
to wo and death or banishment. As the royal chil
dren were also to be driven out we lingered with thr
rest to see them ; for a royal baby was a new sight to
me. A barouche with four horses and outriders.
came forth from the gate all the horses being singu-
larly mottled with' white spots Upon the back seats
were t'Ao ladies and their children. Hii Royal
Highness. Albert. Prince of Wales sat in his nurse's
lap: his little bright eyes peering about with delight
that he was to be taken a ride. His nurse held him
up to the adoration of hjs future subjects; and he
held up his head. as if he tried to look the prince. He
wore a straw hat the broad brim turn d up in front
with a band of black crape. The Princess Royal
seemed at a game of fistbufTs a if fighting with her
nurse fo' the p-irasol. h le what a naughty princess!
Her frock was a white cambric with a broad silk
sash; and on her august head she wore a bonnet of
white drawn silk. Upon the front seat rode the dow
ager Lady Littleton head nurse. As the children
take precedence ot this stately rich attired lady she
sits in front A stout hale old fellow hear me seem-
vd charmed with the pugnacity of her royal highness
Adelaide Ltouisa Victoria: and h.'sivore she was a
true child of John Bull. The people around all
seemed charmed with their little masters and their be
loved Queen."
Queer Calculation. Some singular genius
has pernetratod the following calculation which we
think will do.
I have been married 32 years during which time I
have received from the hands of my wife three cups
of coffee each day two in the morning and one at
night making 35040 cups of half a pint each or
nearly 70 barrels or 30 gallons each weighing 17-
520 lbs. or nearly 9 tons weight. Yet for that pen.
od I have scarcely varied myself in weight from 160
lb It will therefore be seen that I have drank in
coffee alone 218 times my own weight I am not
much of a meat eater yet I presume I have consum-
ed about 8 ounces a day which makes 5809 lbs. or
about ten oxtn. Of flour I have consumed in ihe 32
years about 50 barrels. For 20 years of this time up
to 1831 I have drank two wine glasses of brandy
each day making 900 quarts. The port wine ma-
deira whisltey punch. &c -I am not able to count
but they are not 'large. In champagne I have been
extremely moderate as I find from my bills that' I
have paid for 53 baskets in the last 13 years which
is about one botfle a week and this not all consumed

SATURDAY - - - DECEMBER 9 1843
FOR PRESIDENT
JOHN HEMPHILL .
OF WASHINGTON.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT
WILLTAM E. JONES
OF GONZALES.
H3 Exchequer money will be received at par
for subscription in this District.
Our readers will fird late advices of the cotton
market in Liverpool Havre and New Orleans in
this number.
Emigration "We are again informed that large
numbers of emigrants are now on their way through
Arkansas to this country.
FROM THE SOUTH WEST.
By Mr. Jacob McFarlane who hns just returned
from Washington we learn that excessive rairs had
prevailed throughout the interior and that cotton
picking had been stopped in consequence and large
quantities of corn destroyed in the fields. In some
instances whole crops of corn had been lost be
cause they could not be gathered.
The Brazos Trinity and Sabine were all out of
their banks. Nearly nil communication by mail has
been stopped from the tame c&use.
When Mr. McFarlane left Washington no pro-
clamation had been issued to convene Congress at
that place and the President was then at Galveston.
We are informed by way of San Augustine that the
President has determined to return to Auttin.
It was reported at Washington that the Navy
which had been offered for sale had been purchased
by McKinncy & Williams; all other bidders being
ruled off" by arrangement; and was to be retained for
the defence of Galveston. It was also rumored that
several United States vessels of war were near Gal-
veston. Exchequer bills were worth 80 cents per dollar at
Washington and 90 cents at Galveston. Mr. Mc-
Farlane paid bills with them in Washington at the
former rate.
The Natioaal Vindicator after a stoppage of three
or four months bad issued a number of w hich Mr.
McFarlane was unable to get us a copy the last one
having been mailed.
We copy the following from the New York Her-
ald of Nov. 1 1th. There is no telling how much of
it is true but we are inclined to think from corrobo-
rating circumstances that the statement of the Presi
dent's intention is correct. In fact we have little
doubt of it.
IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM
WASHINGTON DIFFICULTIES
IN THE CABINET.
Last evening we received some rather interesting
intelligence from our private correspondent at Wash-
ington disclosing rumors of difficulties differences.
and debates in the cabinet on certain questions of
dep interest to the relations of the Union with cer-
tain foreign powers.
It appears from the most authentic accounts we can
get that these difficulties in the cabinet have grown
out of the preparations taken to throw into form the
next message to Congress.
Our relations with Lngland and 1 exas. growing
out of the slave question and the probable admission
cf the Ia'ter State into the Union are the principal
knotty points which have agitated the cabinet. Ear
ly last summer Mr Andrews was stnt from Texas
to England by the abolition interests ofthe new State
for the purpose of making some arrangement with
England looking for the abolition of slavery in
Texas and to form it into a Southern counterpoise to
the United States. This agent from Texas had seve-
ral interviews last summer with Lord Aberdeen.1 The
plan proposed to the B litis h government was. to form
a society in England which would ndvance a sum
equal to the value of all the slaves in Texas security
to be given in public lands the lexan government
agreeing to pay over the money to the owners and
then to abolish slavery in Texas. Lord Aberdeen
agreed to guarantee the loan upon condition that
Texas should be a free state and extend particular
favors to British traders in that territory.
The motives of the British government for adopting
such a policy towards Texas were to givo a blow to
the Southern Stales to raise a rival power in Texas
to impair the production of cotton tobacco and
rice in that region and thus to give an advantage to
the cotton rice and similar productions of British In-
dia and their coUnies in the West Indies and South
America including Texas.
In connection with this subject and to further this
policy it has also been discovered that all the Brit-
ish Consuls and agents in'the United States bavn
been secretly engaged for some time past in collecting
every species of information relative to the slave po-
pulation ofthe South their number feelings char
acter tnndenqies and capabilities. The recent ac-
counts from Texas stating that President Houston had
entered into an intrigue to deliver Texas to the Brit
ish government are altogether exagerated and erro
neous the enly negotiations at present between
Texas and England being what we have just stated
an attempt toabolish slavery in Texas and to make
it a thorn in the side of th. Southern States.
At the same time that these recent negociations
were going on between England and Texas an at-
tempt was making under the auspices of President
Tvler. to onen'a nepociauon with England for a neu-
commercial treaty 'on the most equitable and honora-
ble baSisI But it was soon ascertained ihat the British
Govern'mt m'was'triflipg with these overtures for the
rWroose of ttr'rvinir'out the views of the East India
interests in'Englaaawith regard "to Texas. Presi-

to fling defiance'intothe teeth of the BritUh'gbvern
ment 'who bavo .been " paltering in a double
sense" on commercial tieaties while it.agents were
calculating the chances of disunion and disruption in
the South.
To the assumption of such high nnd daring ground
in thenext message a pesitionjeven more belligerent
than (ieneral Jackson ever took certain members of
the cabinet have more or lew objected. - Mr. Upshur
has supported the President but others have opposed
or thwarted his views.
This is supposed to be the difficulty at present
agitating the cabinet and a few weeks will reveal
its accuracy effects and consequences on public
opinion.
If certain members of the cabinet do not give in
their adhesion to the views of the messige we have
every reason to believe that a reconstruction of the
Cabinet will take place in less than two months.
Great changes Will be made in foreign ministers and
other officials. It is supposed that the President will
invite John C. Calhoun to the cabinet send Mr. Up-
shur to England Mr. Wise to France and change
several high officers in New York.
In such a view of the case President Tyler's next
message to Congress will be one of the boldest coups
d e'.at that ever was attempted in Washington. He
will propose n most important treaty with Texas
even her admission into the Union if that republic
desires it. He will propose a fair and equitable com-
mercial treaty'with England or fling defiance in her
face before the whole world. If the latter policy
should be adopted the President will place the United
Stares at the head of the great movement of reform
and revolution in England Ireland France and all
Europe. What the President and his cabinet may
deteimincon these points what difficulties may take
place in these consultations a few short days or weeks
may determine. At all events Mr. Tyler is .going
to assume the responsibi'ity of a great movement
and if he takes the bold and daring course to preserve
the influence and ascendancy of this republic we shall
cheerfully enthusiastically and warmly support him.
Lethiin show his hand.
From the New Orleans Picayune of the 16th No-
vember: Later from Lacuna. Capt. Tremis of the
schooner Creole arrived yesterday reports that there
is every probability of the recommencement of hosti-
lities betwern Yucatan and Mexico. All communi-
cation between both places has been suspended. Ves-
sels coming from any (-'. the Yucatan ports were
liable to seizure and Mexico was making prepara-
tions to attack Yucatan.
From Texas. The schooner Llewellyn Capt.
Winch arrived from Galveston yesterday. The
Courier makes the following extract from the Gal-
veston Civilian ofthe 18th ultimo:
The splendid packet ship Star Republic arrived at
Galveston on the 15th with forty-one passengers.
The U. S. man-ot war schooner Flirt arrived at
Galveston on the 17th bearing despatches lor Gen
Murphy the U. S. Chare d'Affaires. "Of course."
adds the Civilian "the character of these communi-
cations have not transpired but it is to be presumed
that matters of some importance muat be involved
to require the despatebfof a vessel of that descrip-
tion." Messrs. Williams and Hockley Commission-
ers from the Texan Government arrived in Ma tain o-
ros on the 18lh Oct . to treat with Gen. Woll on
the terms of the armistice existing between Mexico
and Texas. Wc learn from a correspondent at Mat-
amoros that Gen. Woll who was at Sabinns (150
miles from Matamoros) had appointed Cols. Yhare
and Montero to confer and arrange articles with
the Texan Representatives JV. O. Bulletin.
Annexation of Texas A correspondent ofthe
Charleston Mercury writing from the State of Maine
after suggesting various grounds on which the peo
pie ofthe North will probably oppose the incorpora-
tion of Texas into the Union adds the follo'.ring :
"The Oregon Territory is an all engrossing topic
with the people here. They are in favor of Congress
acting speedily on the suhject and of taking posses
sion of our own to the utmost limit- This isa favor-
ite with the North and West Now I will suppose
ihe Annexation of Texas to be a favorite of the South.
If both of these subjects come before the next Con-
gress I tbink justice will stand a chance to be done.
I am of the opinion that the people with us would
occupy the same ground on this question that they
would on the question of admitting a Southern or
Western State. I think if our territory beyond the
Rocky Mountains cannot be taken possession of. ex-
cept by the admittance of Texas I am decidedly of
the opinion that our people would go for admitting
both. On the ground that the North was to be
strengthened by )be possession of the Oregon the
North would be willing that the South should be
strengthened by the" annexation of Texas. If the
question ofthe annexation of Texas should be brought
r i :. :. I J:
up in ivonsjrcss uiune on m owu uiciiis aim uncon-
nected with any other question probably our Repre-
sentatives in Congress would vote against it. But if
both of these questions the Texan and the Oregon
come up together and one eannot be effected withou
the other the question will assumo a different aspect
altogether. On these condit;ons I have no doubt but
our Representatives could be instructed to vote for
both of these measures to be carried into effect at one
and the same time."
This is an excellent suggestion and wp are glad
that it has come fioma writer at the North. The
ground ought to be assumed by the South when eith
er Wiskonsan or Iowa apply tor admission to fatate
privileges. If it be insisted that these territories have
a right to admission under the laws and compacts of
the Government it may be answered Mat Texas also
is a part of the country by as solemn guaranties and
may indeed claim incorporation into the Union un-
der precisely the same treaty as Iowa. Both were a
part ofthe province of Louisiana and by the treaty of
cession s'ana on the same tooting. i
Parties are rapidly taking sides on this momentous
question upponems to ine annexation aro 'prepar
ing with gteat vigor to resnt it irom the start. It will
behoove the South and all the friends of an equal
distribution of political -power in the geographical di-
visions of the country to present' a strong bold solid
and determined front 2V. O. Bulletin. iL

ARREST OF CCONNELL' AND EIGHT
OTHERS.
Mr. O'Connell and his son Mr. J. CConnell
were arrested on Saturday October 14 upon-warrants
issued by Judge Burton on information sworn
before him on the day previous. An announcement
to this effect having been made in the Dublin;Eve-
ning Mail of the preceiding evening very grnat ex-
citement was caused and hundreds were assembled
about the head police office making anxious inquiries.
The parties on duty there however replied that they
knew nothing on the subject.
Mr. O'Connell remained at his house in Merrion
square and having received the sacrament was wait-
ed upon at half past nine by Mr. Kemmiss the
crown solicitor who informed him that information
had been lodged and warrants issued against aim
and his son who was at the same time with him;
and requested to know at what hour he wonld attend
with bail at Judge Burton's chambers. The hour
fixed was three o'clock; and shortly befora that time
Mr. O'Connell Mr. John O'Connell wtih Mr. Cor-
nelius M'Laughlin and Mr. Jeremiah Dunne arrived
at Judge Burton's house. A few other friends subse-
quently arrived; but the proceedings were altogether
of a very private nature.
Mr O'Connell having called on ihe crown solici-
tor for copies of the information which were refus-
ed his solicitor delivered a demand to be supplied
with the same. Mr. O'Connell then requested to
see the information on which the warrant was issued;
and having coolly read it our said he was ready to
give the bail required and entered into recognizances
himself in 1000 and Mr. M'Laughlin and Mr.
Dunne in 500 each to answer a charge of conspi-
racy and misdemeanor on the firs' day of term. Mr.
John O'Connell having done the same (the same
gentlemen being bail in both cases) the crown solici-
tor gave to each the copies of the information requir-
ed which he said he could not before as the bail was
not then perfected. The parties then retired.
Mr. O'Connell caused the following immediately
address to be issued :
"To the People of Ireland:
"Beloved fellow countrymen! I announce to you
that which you will hear from other quarters name-
ly that I have this day given bail to answer to a
charge of 'conspiracy and other misdemeanors" the
first day of next term. I make this annouacement
in order to conjure the people one and all to ob-
serve the strictest and most perfect tranquility. Any
attempt to disturb the public peace may be mosld'rsas-
trons;cemin ly would be criminal and mischievous.
"Attend then beloved countrymen to me.
'Be not tempted by any body to break the peace
to violate the law. or to be guilty of any tumult or
disturbance. The slightest crime against order or
the public peace maj ruin our beautiful and other-
wise triumphant cause.
'If you will during this crisis follow my adyjcs
and act as 1 entreat you to do patiently quietly and
legally I think I can pledge myself to you that the
period is not far distant when our revered Sovereign
will open the Irish Parliament in College Green.
Every attempt of our enemies to disturb the pro-
gress of Repeal hitherto has had a direct contrary ef-
fect This attempt will also fail unless it. be assisted
by any misconduct on the pait ofthe people.
Be tranquil then and we shall be triumphant
I have the honor to be
.Your ever faithful serv't
DANIEL O'CONNELL.
Merrion Square. Oct. 14. 1843.
