HIGHLY INTKIICSTINQ LETTF.H To the Editor cf the Chronici Lo n don Ah rn in ? PARIS, AUG. 15, 1830. Sir I know not whether it is cowardice or the love of peace whether it is insolence or humanity whether it is an aver sion to the shedding; of blood or a feeling of moderation that induces so many persons to say, "Oh yes, the revolution is finished." This, however, I know that a great many of those who say so do not believe it ; and a great many who say so do not hope it. The majority certainly desire that the revolution should terminate without any more shedding of blood without any more civil war without any more assemblies of the people ; and they would prefer (I speak cf Paris and the Parisians) to have a little less liberty than they have always contended for, and to make a little sacrifice of principle, rather than risk the re-action of the scenes of the first revolution. There is something of selfishness and cowardice, combined with humanity and reason, in this backwardness to follow up the revolution but I am disposed more to praise than blame it. There are, however, a great many persons, and with journals to represent them too, who are not satisfied with the present order of things. The royalists and ultra royalists are of course not satisfied They placard the walls of the capital with bills, exciting the workmen and laborers to follow up their victories; and they may be seen industriously occupied, where a crowd cf people are assembled, asking such questions as the following : "Why should we have a king at all ?" "Why do we not have a republic?" "Is it for his we ha- e lost our fathers and sons ?" I have heard these questions put by well dressed persons du ring the last forty eight hours in the environs of the palace of Louis Philip I These men want a more sanguinary revolution. They arc disappointed at the conduct of foreign powers up to this moment. They expected m army of one hundred & fifty thousand men from Russia and Austria. They always vailed the duke of Wellington "their friend Wellington," but now 1 have heard them pray that there may be a rcvo lutiou at London, and that "their Iriend," the duke, may be hung up to a lamp post. Last night I he -ml an infuriated royalist declare that he would lay down his life to effect a revolution at London. "Let us have no more kings now," he said, ,,the principle of legitimacy is destroyed, the people arc masters; I am for pill Age and robbery ; I want no more kings nor priests." I heard another declare, "that if this revolution stood, and if the duke of Orleans remained king of France, he would renounce his religion and become an atheist ; for in that rase, he could not believe in Providence there could not be a God." Yesterday, only yesterday morning. I saw a respectable woman, a royalist, enter a public venture, Cor short stage,) in which I was seated. One of the passengers had a collection of caricatures, m which Charles A. was ridi culed in no measured terms, and with no delicacv. When the rovalist lady saw her self in 'such society she turned pale with rage called aloud to the coachman to stop the stage coach and after having said, " Pis shameful thus to insult royalty," she descended in the middle of the route, and pursued on toot her solitary way. 1 mention these facts to show you that the royalist party is not dead ; and I accordingly refer you tothe Gazette de France which once more appears every evening, to satisfy you that the taction yet hope for assistance ; yet believe that they shall see the duke of Bordeaux on the throne, and the "sacred" cause of legitimacy, and the divine right of kings prevail. There is also another party, less violent, though not less resolute, opposed to the present order of things. 1 mean royalist philosophers. Chateaubriand is at the head of the party, and Messrs. Cormenin, Hyde de Nemille", cc. are enlisted in the ranks. These men do no believe in the perm uiency of the present order of thiags. They are not fr legitimacy, becme their lathers were bef.ue 'hem. u.r bee. i lse they have been educ ited in that school tier received from the t x king and the other members of his fin.'v; b it because th -y believe eonscie- : idy, th it when om the people are the ma i .d when once the doctrine ot the "som ' v t'. t of th- pt ople" is esti blishe I, th. n is an end of order, peace, and p-i-n tiK-nt gen ernmeu1..

republicans. The major itv of the pcoule r.fi epublicans. The majority of the people .fi 'ranee arc republicans in theory, but not in 1 practice ; but I speak of the practical re publicans. This party is not without its leaders. They are to befouudin the persons of editors of a portion of the press the Patriot, the Journal de Paris, and the Revolution. The walls of Paris are daily placarded with these papers, and multi tudes assemble to read or to hear read the ir.uimmatory address of this party. The royalists, assuming the name of rcpubhcans, supply them with funds, w ith private j printing presses, and with wine for nothing! at the cabarets in the Faubourgs. These i mbourgs men now perceive that "Othello's occupation's gene," and that the French whigsand model ate liberals are installed in office, and are as really averse at the present moment to republicanism as to anarchy. The Jour nal dc Paris attacks M. Dupin, and asks where was he during the fighting and bloodshed ? It accuses him of wearing the laurels when he is not entitled to them ; and it asks the people wether they shed their blood to be governed by such ministers as him ? The Patriot goes yet farther and a placard goes lurther still. It asks the people whether it was not they who conquered ! And it savs, let us follow up this vic tory "of the sovereignty of the people." The old royalist officers, both of the navy and army are unreconciled many deputies are resigning many peers abstain from taking the required oaths some judges are giving in their resignations the people of La endee have been threatened by Gen. Lamarque with the sword and destruction if they are not quiet. And, last of all the party of the duke of Ueichstadt sell his portrait openly in the streets, and fill the windows of the fruit shop with "heads of Napoleon, and engravings, which recall to the memory of the people, the exploits of their beloved emperor. 1 his is a small party ; but in a moment like the present, every party nay, every individual, howev er humble in his sphere, has a certain degree of influence. In the midst of all this opposition, Louis Philip I. king of the French, is, however, by no means unpopular. Against him personally, or against his family, I have not heard one person, 4 except in the ultra royalists) express an opinion. All call him "a friend of liberty" "a good soldier" "a good citi zen "a good father ol a family, and "an honorable man." Great confidence is placed in him, but each party expects that he will favor the plans and designs ol each party, and they support him at present be cause they are not yet aware what course he intends to pursue. Phe new ministers are all men cf the Gauche. There are Centre Gauche, Ex treme Gauche, and the most extreme Gauche for we have Dupin, Dupont, and Benjamin Constant. Yes, Benjamin Con stant is minister ; he is counsellor ot state and president of the committee of legislative and administrative justice. I do not blame the king for this. On the contrary M Constant is an able legislator and a cleir-headed man. Yet the ministry is an odd medlev. We have the duke of Broirlie, known more as the son of a great man, than a great man himself. We have baron Louis, whose wealth is undoubted, but who is served in all parties, and has never distinguished himself in all his life. We have count Mole, the friend of Pozzo de Borgos, and there be some who say that he is named to please Russia, and to assure to that power that her policy and interests will not be disregarded. Count Mole also was a friend of Napoleon a violent stickler for legitimacy at least the legitimacy of "the Emperor," and could not bear the idea cf the throne of France becoming vacant, or, as he expressed it, "put up to auction." Ask one thousand people, well informed and reading people, I mean in France, who is Count Mole, and what are his principles, and out of one thousand not more than one person shall be able to give you any ac count of him. Then we have Sebastiani, a giant among dwarfs, and a great man at all times. But he stands alone in the Cabinet and no one will second his measures except those which simply tend to the improvement of the Marine. Perhaps Dupont de I'Enre will go as far as Sebastiani in most things; but in the Cabinet they will be in the minority. Besides these men, we have Lafitte, who is a rich banker, and Casimir Perrier, another great capitalist, The people ask "why bankers, who play in the funds, should be Ministers of State?" and the people at the Bourse are very jealous indeed, ami say "there is nothing now to prevent three per cents, raised to 90, or depressed to 60." I do not wholly agree with them, though Mr. Rothschild supports the party of the Dissentients. Yet, if the whole of France could be polled, there would undoubtedly be a large majority (including the indolent and idle people) in favor ol" the present Ministry. 1 have no objection to the men, nor to trying their measures, but 1 contess that 1 expected to have seen more talent and a greater harmony of interests tn the first Mir.i-try of j Louis Philli' King of the French. But let . - ti, i us examine men measuies. nt u

This law was rendered necesssary by the interruption occasioned by the last revolution. The measure is entitled to i praise. Atiother law has also been proposed to the Chamber of Deputies, of transitory nature il is to provide for the election of De putics in the departments, until the grea Iiew Election Law; proposed by the ncv great new charter, shall have been proposed and pased. By this transitory law, the double vote is virtually abolished and the arrondisfccmcnts are to draw lots for the right cf naming the Deputies hitherto elected by the Grand Colleges. Many Deputies have resigned; many elections have been annulled. A measure will soon be proposed, compelling all Deputies net actually prevented by illness from attending, to attend and take the oath of allegiance on or before a certain day, and all who do not attend by that time (unless excused) will be declared no longer Deputies. The vacancies sooccasisned will then be filled up immediately by the electors. It is then proposed to pass a general law of elections to vote the budget then to dissolve the Chamber, and have a new general election and then to leave it to that new Chamber of the people elected for the purpose, to follow up the principles of the revolution, and give to France the laws promised by the new charter, and such other laws as the French people, through their representatives, may judge desirable. This is our position to-day. Our foreign relations are inv olved in obscurity. The new King hinted yesterday, not at the probability, but at the possibility, of an attack being make on the independence of France. "Should this be the case" said the King of the French, "my people will find me leading them on the battle, inspired with the same enthusiasm and ardor as, when young, I fought for the national colors, and carried them off triumphant at Jamappes." Some rumors have been circulated about British policy, which I will not believe. It is said that the recognition of Louis Philip I. is to be conditional i. e. provided the Government will consent to abandon Algiers, If this be the case, we must have a war, for Louis Philip dare not, if he would, consent to give up the territory France has gained. I am your obdient servant, O. P. Q. PRESENT STATE OF THINGS. During the canvass, the feelings of the people were attempted to be aroused against general Jackson as a military man, and that if he were to be president, the country would be involved in war with foreign nations. He was said to be an ambitious man, and that having no talent for civil employment, to gratify that ambition, he must go to war. Now, what says experience on the subject? The very reverse. Instead of discovering that his talent was confined to war, we have found that he has better succeeded in the arts of peace than his predecessors. He has gained by peaceful negotiation within one year, what they could not obtain in four. He has not gone to war with any nation, but by his own energy of character, and the assistance of able ministers, he has succeeded in establishing the best understanding with foreign nations, and is perhaps more respected by them than any other president since the days of Washington: yet still the corruptionists ask w hat have we gained by his election? We answer, wc have gained a strict accountability in the public officers, by which no officer can allow nor be allowed more than the law has awarded for public services. We have gained the perfect knowledge that former administrations conducted affairs so loosely, that opportunities were given to public officers to beccme swindlers and public robbers, and the knowledge is of first rate importance. We have gained indemnification from Denmark for spoliations committed on our commerce, which had been an object of negotiations with former administrations for twenty years without success We have a saving of one hundred thousand dollars fraudulently demanded as bounties to fisheries, and have discovered that immense sums have been squandered by former administrations without law, and against law for that purpose. We have gained the trade of the Black sea by a treaty with Turky, which no former administration could succeed in obtaining- We have regained the trade of the British West India Islands, which was sacrificed by the late administration to their electioneering sclieir.es for a continuance of their power. All this we hav e gained, and in addition we have an improvement in the postotfice department, which will redound tothe immortal honour to the able and talented head of that de partment. All this we assert wc have gai ned by the election of general Jackson, and j we challenge contradiction from the editors 'ot the aristocracy. Such, then, being our - i ,. .ni1(j w .um, u.it uat i. . iwu c answer, nopeople. Now, what great matter will the j aristocrats boast of h iving been obtained by ! the late administration? Will it be the far! tauu a congress ot i'ar.ama, which never met, and which cost the nation one hundred thousand dollars? Will it be the contempt-J uous treatment of their minister at Rio Ja- i nciro, and tneir sutienng him without the least assistance to contend with the gloomy j tyrant Don Pedro, for the lives and liberties' of our seamen? Will it !; for their in -lee t ' of the negotiations with Kugland on the subject of the colonial trade and their profligate expenditure of above eighty thousand dol-j Urs in missioa$ to thut Cwu:try fur duii; no-'

It these be not the measures of which thev ' boast, of what can it be? We have not vet ' heard ot their boasting of one of the most prominent measures of their administration, inundating the country ith ccfrm handbills. But perhaps this among others, will be boasted cf. Their advocates have lamented the fate of Toby Watkins: they have commisserated the fate cf Barnev, ct bourse, and of Fiilebrown, and other peculates and dtfrauders; and why not bri.g of the Panama mission, the spoliations at Kio, the coffin handbills, the suppressing cf public document;-, and the publication of spurious ones to deceive the people?

Wc extract the following notice of the St. Joseph country, from the letter of a traveller, to the editor cf the Miami Times 'Phe traveller docs not choo-c to be named: but he is a person of much intelligence and judgment in land affairs. One of our townsmen, who has lately been on the same route, confirms the account here given: R ci u blica n State sm a n . "Air. Editor: "Having travelled through the north part cf Indiana, within the district of land at fort Wayne and Crawfordsviile, I am cf opinion that a desciption of it will net be without interest to your readers, and especially those who want good land. "In passing the Llkheartand St. Joseph countries, I found a portion of good land, both prairie and timbered. The Llkheart prairie is sandy soil, second quality, of beautiful appearance; but I am told that it is principally taken up by pre-emption tights, under the act cf congress of 29th of May last. These rights though just enough have covered the choice spots along the Elkheart and St. Josegh rivers, and will prevent those now emigrating from procuring much prairie. The timbered land on Elkhtart is in the district sold at fort Wayne, and is not inferior to any timbered land in the state. That stream affords excellent water; a small portion of prairie can also be had there. "The scat of justice of Elkheart county has been selected on that river about five or six miles :s from its mouth in township 37 the ranee five east. north ol the range fi "Travelling west I passed the northern bend of the St. Joseph river, at the intersection of the Michigan road; where it is supposed the seat of justice of St. Jcseph county will be established. This town, will shortly become the greatest of any north of Indianapolis; and it is a misfortune that the law of last session authorizing the opening of the Michigan road, did not cause ir to be opened to the bend, where salt manufactured at Canadagua, N. Y. of a quality far superior to any manufactured on Ohio, is now selling for two dollars and fifty cents per barrel of five bushels. "The people of this county have strong hopes of effecting a slight change in the present location of the United States' road from Detroit to Chicago, so as to bring it to cross St Joseph and unite with the Michigan road at their seat ef justice. "From the southern bend I travelled on the line of the Michigan road to lake Michigan, at the mouth of the riv er des Chemms, or Trail creek, a distance of thirty-live miles. "About twenty miles of the road is thro' fine land, mostly prairie: the last three miles, before arriving at the lake is timbered. About four miles from the prairie the land and timber are of an excellent quality, then becomes thinly timbered and poor soil, until I crossed Trail creek, where I passed a grove of close tall timber, land rather wet, soil inferior quality, ar.d the last three or four miles as I approached the lake the land is very poor, with scattering oak and pine timber. "There was about fifteen inches water over the bar in the mouth of Trail creek. The lake shore is composed of hills of white sand, and has a most steril apppearar.ee; affording neither a good harbr-r nor site fcr a town or farm. "I travelled south in range 4 through township 38 and 37, until I passed the south boundary of the 'Pen mile Purchase, made by the treaty of the Wabash. "I found the first seven or eight miles from the lake poor, as above described. Then about two miles of best quality of timbered land. I then entered the La Porte orDoor prairie, this prairie is not all purchased of the Indians. There are four or five families living on the Indian land, who have considerable cornfields. "I then travelled east on the Chicago road to the Kankakee branch. This branch rises in the north part of the Terra Coupee prairie,and runs south ncirthe. centre of R. 2 west, and enters the K mkapee ponds at the mouth cf this branch. 1 attempted to pass these ponds and make my way to the Wabish; and although I had seen or heard of these impervious marshes or ponds, described on paper or verbally, I confess that I had no conception cf the'm : and I am now ready to bear testimony of the judicious location made by general Necly c his associates, of the Michigan road. "The summit of highland extended east and west, near the north bound try of Indiana, from the southern bend of the St. Joseph to the south-eastern margin of the-lake Michigan, except six or tight miles immediately on the lake shore, is not surpassed by any other troct in the state, for beauty and fertility cf soil. " Phe south side of this summit declines generally to the south, and is composed of the Terra Coupee and La Porte praiies which are from two to four miles wide. The north, side of about equal txttnt, U covered with excellent timber. "All the prairies have occasional groves of fine timber and lakes cf pure water. Water is rather scarce for mills: the K K.kakee branch and Stoncy creek, (both of which rise in the prairies and run south into the Kankakee,) will afford water power to

drive light gristmills. Good water can no doubt be found by digging seme feet. "In tow i. ships 37 and 3tf noith t ranges 1,2, and 3, west, w hich are to be c fTVred for Srtle at Crawfordsviile, in November next, a man that wishes first rate land.eithcr prairie or timber, cannot well go amiss: and there appear to be but few locking land there at this time. " This tract of country bound west by l ike Michigan, scuth by the Kankaket rn -r. c north by the line of Induna; mot of v. .-.Icq, will be held in, November, will ere long make one of the best countries in the state; and is strongly recommended to those who want g-Mjd land in a country so far n( rth that weavtl will not disturb lhtir wheat.

W TUAVKLLER. Sept. lZO. TIPPECANOE BATTLE GROUND. Although this spot is situated upen the frontier cf the vast Empire cf the United States in the West, in a forest yet unsubdued by the arts of civilization and iru sistable progress of improvement; the event with winch it is associatetl, gives it a conspicuous place in the pages of our history. It is the ground where the first battle and first bloodshed formed the opening scene cf the War. It was there hat the ardent patriotism and unshaken bravery of our citizen ldiers, gave promise of the rich harvest of glory which our country afterwards t -. apt. ;.any a field of blood. It is a spot l;..eght with deep interest to every Amcr van; with proud )et mournful recollections. There was atchieved the first v ctory of the lat War: There fell Davit ss, Sj .-.ccr, Warrick, and Owen, and many a brave comrade, whose hearts swelled with s lefty patriotism as those whose tintimciv e.tth our country mourns; There then bones rudely disinterred by dastardly sv ges. long lay, bleaching in the winds, negu cted by their country, in whose tlefencc they a ad marched into the untrodden wilderness and sacrificed their lives. But though they were far from their home and their friends, their country's honour and independence were before them, and their dying moments were cheereel by the voice of ictory, and the last accents which fell upon their ears were the shwits of triumph. And yet may that country redeem its former neglect, anil place a Monument over the bones of those whose deeds it should be the pride of every American citizen to emulate. But they need it not their names are placed side by side with the heroes of the Revolution, and their actions entombed in the temple cf their country's glory Notwithstanding the unfavorable aspect of the weather, a large concourse of citizens aiul strangers repaired at an early hour to the Battle Ground, on the 2 lit. Among the distinguished strangers from a distance, were (ienerals Tipton and Carr, and several soldiers who were in the battle, the sons of the brave Warrick and Ove", and the son of (Jen. Hauiusox, ( whose absence was much regretted ) "Phe bones which were buried in several places areund the Battle Ground, were disinterred and placed in coffins. A long anel solemn procession, under the conduct of Maj. Hi p.st, Doct. Yaxdevknteh, Capt. Joskph Dill, and Aaron Finch, Esq acting as Marshals, followeel them to the grave, where they were re-interred with the honors cf war, after a solemn, patriotic, and affecting appeal to the Throne t.f Grace by the Rev. II. A. Hunter, and an eloquent and patriotic Funeral Oration by Ed. A- Hannlgan, Esquire. The procession formed at 12 o'clock, under the direction of the Committee cf Arrangement, in the f( llow ing order: The Cothn, supported by eight pall bearers, preceded and Hanked by the Light companies.

The Mourners, Orator, Chaplin, Conmittee of Arrangement, and Fall Bearers, wearing crape upon the left arm. After the interment of the bones and the conclusion of the ceremonies connected with it, Gen. Tipton in a brief address detailed the principal events of the battle, and the circumstances under w hich it was fought. He repelled the many false imputations which had been cast upon the conduct of his Commander in the bloody conflict, and appealed to the recollections of his comrades, sev eral of w hom were then present, to sustain the truth of his statementsFree Press.
