harbor-master, by order of the mayor, had proceeded with a dozen custom-house officers-in a boat, and taken possession of it; it was fortunate for the Prince they did so, for, in reluming 1 into the harbor, they found him almost exhausted, clinging to the buoy, about the eighth of a mile from the shore. He was taken on board, and with him Colonel Vaudrey. In escaping from the shore they had narrowly avoided being shot; several balls passed close to the Prince, and several of his followers were wounded, and sank to rise no more." The report is, that six have been found; one poor doctor, who surrendered, was shot by a National Guard, Boulogne at:n-a eh, August 6.— How a man with fifty men could think of raising an army in this peaceably disposed province, I cannot understand. He must have been misled as to the disposition of the people. . At the same time, had be landed with three hundred men, there can be no doubt but Boulogne would beat this moment ! ia his hands. Tho people hero have been for several days in a great stale of excitement in consequence of tho war talk, and so easily are they to bo gulled upon matters relating to hostilities with England, that tho first rumoi of the debarkation this morning was, that “the English had already landed a force on the coast,” I had a peep at Louis Napoleon. Poor devil! he looks awfully excited. His followers aie fine looking fellows. They appear to be the daredevils of alt nations—Boles, French, Swiss, and some say English. The latter statement 1 do not believe.

But I am persuaded that the.money which is devoted to other objects might be mo;c usefully, and certainly more consistently, tu this purpose. Under our present circumstances the six thousand regular troops wo have are very proper; but 1 think one hundred thousand disciplined militia would be belter; and the money which is spent in the former, would soon affect tho discipline of the latter. “WILLIAM H.HARRISON.”

Waite, we have received London papers to the 7th of August, and Liverpool to the 6lh of August, inclusive. The only important news is that of a mad and unsuccessful attempt'to revolutionize France by Prince Louis Nopnlcon. He hi rod an English steamer and landed at Boulogne, with 50 soldiers, mostly staff officers. They were all taken, young Napoleon included. AI. Guizot, the French Ambassabor, has left England. It is said by some that he will return; but others, who, from their position, are likely te be welt informed on the subject; say that M, Guizot will not return to London immediately, and add, that the King of tho French has had an interview rVith the Hue de Broglie,’which, it is conjectured, is preparatory to tho. departure of the falter oh a special mission to Great Britian. The tone of the articles in tho French, papers on tho alleged treaty of the fpur powers which they contain is, with the exception of one published in the “Messenger,” much more mild, and infinitely less vituperative, than those in which they indulged during the preceding ten days. Some flutter took place in the English funds on the arrival ofLouis„ Napoleon’s adventure and Us result; but they soon rallied and resumed a steady tone.; The harvest prospects all through- England are said to be excellent.

To a kind letter from friends in a distant State, inquiring what were my opinions of Mr,' Van Horen’s administration, I have recently replied. A copy of this reply is now before me; and as it truly represents my sentiments upon this subject, I will.transcribe my answer to tho inquiry propounded. “1 was opposed to Mr. Van Buren when he was first a candidate for tho Vico Presidential chajr, and my opposition to him was continued when ho was afterwards a candidate for tho station which ho now bolds.Upon each of these occasions, there were other candidates who, ns I thought agreed with my opinions more exactly, and who, therefore, 1 preferred.Entertaining such sentiments, 1 have watched his course, since tie came into power with a vigilance that might not perhaps have 1 been used by mo under.othtw{circumstances. Yet, with.all this vigilanceTil'havb NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETECT A SINGLE ‘UNCONS nTIITIONAL A Of that HAS BEEN DONE OR PROP03ED.BV HIM-, DURING 1118. ADMINISTRATION. This is not a slight merit,-at'least tn my eyes, and when I connect with it that the whole scheme of his policy, in regard to all oaf relations, whether foreign or domestic*; has.evinced much sagacity, prudence, and forbearance, and this, too, under circumstances of great difficulty, I cannot withheld my approbation from such a course. “These are not the sentiments of one who has any claim, or even pretension, to bo considered as a friend to the present President. - They are ibo result of a careful examination into all bis public acts, since he has occupied his present station;—an examination made with as much candor and impartiality-as I could command. This examination was commenced I own, with no expectation that it would end in such a'reFult. But as it has so terminated; and common justice, as well as common honesty, compels mo to award him a meed, in my judgment, he has so well deserved. Tho support ho has thus fairly earned, I will willingly give him, so tong ,aa he shall continue to merit it. Nor will I ever concur in the attempt to remove any tried servant, who,-as I think, has deserved well of his country.” > • . And now, sir, having satisfied all your .inquiries, to the end that I may not bo compelled to undergo the same labor again, I commit this letter to you, to be used as you may think proper. 1 am, sir, respectfully, Your most obed’nt serv’t, 1 .

Last night a steamer arrived off Boulogne, and landed within lh(ee miles of here about one hundred men, generals and colonels, dressed in uniform. Some of them went to iho barracks,' and cried, “Vive Louis Napoleon,”.and distributed money amongst the mob. This morning one of the generals and a colonel, dressed in grand uniform, were arrested. It is reported that Louts Napoleon also landed. - All is quiet at present; all tho military'under arms. Tho drums are beaten to call out the National Guards. No mdrj of the insurgents have been arrested. IloUTiOOME-SEa-MEtt, Aug. 6. This morning one of those mad attempts at revolution which have characterized the Erencli since the days of the memorable first of July, disturbed tho inhabitants of this peaceful town from their slumbers. The facta, as 1 have collected them, are as follows: Tho city of Edinburgh steamer, belonging to the Commercial Steam Navigation Company, was hired by Prince Louis Napoleon, ostensibly for an excursion of pleasure along the British coast, for fourteen days. In this he embarked with fifty-six followers, eight horses, and two carriages, in the Thames, on Wednesday last. This morning, about two o’clock, they reached the coast of France, off U'tmiroux, about threo miles from Boulogne. The surprise of captain and crew may be imagined, to see the whole of his passengers come on deck, not in the peaceful garb of citizens, but eu niMairc, some as lancers, some ns gcncial officers, some as private

■ From the'Old Dominion, 1 GOVERNOR TAZEWELL.

We have tho pleasure of laying before our readers to-day a letter from this distinguished gentleman.—At a meeting of the District Convention, held in this town on ihe 20th of last month, a Cominittfio waited on Jlr. Tazewell, with a request that lie would preside over its deliberations, which he declined in consequence of feeble health, and having also retired From the busy scenes of political life. But, at the same time, communicated candidly and frankly to the committee his sentiments in relation to all the exciting to pica, of the day.. Tho opinions of'MrTazewell, as expressed by the Committee, having called forth invidious and illiberal remarks, induced one of them, Dr. J. P. Young to address him a letter, and his reply to that gentleman wc now publish, and which we are sure will command the attention of our readers:

LETTER OF THE HON. L. W. TAZE WELL.

Nokfolk, August 23, 1940.

. Sir:—'Your letter of yesterday was banded me .when it was too late lor mo to reply to it by tho,servaut who bore it. AAcr the very explicit and often repeated declarations made by me to tho committee of which you were a member, that I would not lake any part in the ferocious contest now; raging throughout the country, further than by giving my vole on the day of election. 1 did not expect to be called upon again to abandon this purpose, especially by one of the members,of that committee. You misunderstand the reasons which induced me to form this resolution, if you suppose it can be changed cither by repeating to me tho unmerited com-mendatii-ns of too partial Jrionds, or the.infamous and malignant falsehoods of those who 1 despise too much to call them foes. 1 have no reason to believe that I could influence a single vote, any where, if I would; and I ainvtry sure that 1 would not If I could. .My opinions upon any subject, when regarded asjot sufficient consequence to bo sought for by any of my acquaintance, hive never been withheld Horn them; nor will they ever be concealed from any one. These opinions in regard to the respective merits of the two candidates for tho Presidential office, were given to tho members of your committee, when asked for by them, as they had teen before given to several other persons, of botli parlies, anti as they have been repealed to such persons since. 1 obtrude them upon none, hut 1 am as indifferent who may know them as I am by whom they may be approved. They are my opinions, and would continue to bo such although no other being- on earth might concur with me.

What a terrible hob-bub tho Whigs have beep making about Mr. Poinsett’s plan of ing the militia. The immaculate creatures have expressed in good set terms their holy horror at perceiving a mote in their neighbor's eye", but have wholly overlooked the beam that is in their owo. Nothing can exceed their alarm and consternation at the bare, idea of a standing army which exists nowhere but in their awn fertile imaginations. Now, one - would think, from the ferocity with which they assail Mr. Poinsett, or rather Mr. Vad Burcn for Mr, Poinsett’s plait, that their virtuous indignation would bo/aireadily and as freely dealt out to any' other person who had everdared to entertain a similar project. Then what ought to be the length, breadth, and depth, of their indignation aycinsi one, who, in addition to all the main features of Mr. Poinsett’s plan, actually recommended h levy of direct iaxet upon thepropte to pay the expenses of maintaining one hundred Ihouwnd disciplined militia instead of six thousand regular troops! Is it not reasonable to suppose their ingidnatibn would be exterminating it it had any such weight to light upon! : t , ■ Yet we find them as mild ns new milk, and as gentle as sucking doves, after being reminded of the lollowing record of Gen.
