that the I'en.iiKula waa on the eve ?f a revolution.

whoop, while The aTaVWsttf gfcf trie 1 in vain to al?
lay the eicited pa-sion of. the public AH tins
Journalistic outcry served a? a prelude to the pob?
cation of the um WO* W King Bomba to ttM rcpre.
?cutatit.ns of Knglnndand France, which appeared
in Th, Cologne Gazette. Had this remarkable doc?
ument not come from such a contemptibletj rani as
Ferdinand of Naples, wc might cull it dignified;
at any rate it is logical. The King formally de?
cline* all interference of the Waatern Power? in
the afTairs of his kingdom, aa a.' attack mum the
independence anil dignify of his crown. He a-ks
what Lord Pahnentoa would say if King Bomba
proposed to him the adoption of more liberal view*
toward Ireland, or recommended more humane c in?
duct toward its Indian subjects. He does not ob?
ject to listen to communications nude with
moderation ami deterciice in the internal
of the consolidation of public order iu Kurope; but
he maintain- that bo one, ocept himself, cm form
a correct judgment ddoo what circamitaueet nay
require. Aller condemning the Revolntion of
1H4H and all eoflatitutkmi in general, he aayi tint
the roestahlishment of the Neapolitan Constitution
cannot be the view of the French Cabinet, which,
alter having taken such energetic measures at h Ute
to put down revolution, certainly c.uiuot -e.-k to
create it iu Italy. France ami England should
remember that the war in the East w,i> nndertakeu
to prevent a foreign power from interfering ia tho
affairs of Turkey. Aim interference at Naples
would, therefore, b<- a onriona anomaly, not to
give it a MoreOsjBpjBBqualification. Accordingly,
the King is firmly KofliVed to adhere towhat he
has said. If, however, an attempt should be m tde
to go further, bis Majesty, relying on the justice of
his cause, would appeal fo the patriotism of his
people, (he means, probably, the butxaroni,) and,
trusting to bis brave and fiithful army (of Swiss)
ttould rtprl force by force.
King Botnba taring thus defied both England
and France, the two powers hare wot an ultima?
tum to Naples requiring reforms and the immediate
liberation of nil political prisoners. Should their
representation Be again treated with contempt,
then their Einbfissndnrs are instructed to leave tin
country. Austria is very much annoyed both by
the pretensions of the Weeteltl Powers and by Urn
stubborn resistance of the King. Accordingly,
Ilaron Hubner, the Austri an Embaseador?I Prance,
has been sent to Naples with instructions to make
ar.y possible arrangement between the contending
parties, since Francis Joseph is fully aware thai a
revolution stirred up by France and England in
fcicily might in a trice spread all over the Penin?
aula. Iu order to meet such an untow ard contiu
Seucy the Italiuu army of Austria has been incre load
d the amount of 180,000 men, and R?del z k v is
?tili writing for reeuforceiiicnts. The English
papers, an if they had a presentiment tint Austria
may soon beeotne an enemy to the Western Powers,
axe now filled with criminations of that power.
Old affairs are raked up, for instance, the murder
?f Ciceniacchio. I go Hiism, and other victims of
the barbarism of the troops occupying the Roman
legations in lr-1'J; while the treats of the 15th of
April seems altogether t? bo forgotten, since the
liussinn* have withdrawn from Kars ami from the
Iale of Serpents.
Among the candidates for the princely throne of
Woldo-Wallnchia, we see (he nunc of Pierre B ?na
Jiarte mentioned. He is the Emperor's cousin,
^ucien's youngest sou, a half-witted, dangerous
desperado, banished from Rome tor in uislaiighter,
and notorious for his wild freaks.
<) TlouueU's position iu Spain remains as awk?
ward as ever. The only party which can have au
interest in not Overthrowing nun is the party of Ihe
Progresistas; and it appears as if, in anite of the
blood that is between them, the Dictator ami his
late enemies may be conciliated. Narvaez is fu?
rious at such a turn of the game, and Maria Chris?
tina, lately exulting at the overthrow of Eapartero,
has little chance of soon returning to Spain, Mil,
the same intrigues which destroyed Espartoroorc
now put in pi..;. agaiHst O'Doiiuoll, and Raa go
Olano inav soou act in the same way Bgainot the
Court of Lucera as the Court of Lucira Ins acted
against the Duke of Vittoria.
The Americau crisis continues to excite the
greatest interest. All the ?berall of Europe unite
for Fremont in their wishes. As to Brooks,
Southern chivalry will probably admit that we
Europeans of the Continent have a voice in " af?
fairs ot'honor," that is to say, of duels. Now, ac?
cording to all French, Germau and Hungarian no?
tions of honor, and according to the words of the
Code a*' Duet, Brooks'* behavior in the affair of Mr.
Humner was irregular, and in the affair of Mr.
Burlingame it was the behavior of a coward, who
backs out of a duel, and bullies ouly those w hom be

AFFAIKS IN FRANCE.
From Our Ppaeial Correspondent.
Paris. Aug. 25, MBB,
Theftctie, a day or two since, in noticing the po?
litical inaction which now broods over France,
tikened it to the unnatural calm which precej the
tempest, and hinted that the (ioveriiiiient, like a
prudent akipper, should by judicious concessions to
the popular will, do what it umv to avert the por?
tent. The CouitttmtwHnei signalizes this audacity
a>f the SUcle as a direct overture of disorder, and,
BO doubt, the latter journal has entitled itself to a
warning from the higher powers. But the stillness
you feel around you here is really something very
awful, knowing as you do the enormous force of
compression by which it is brought about. It is a
artillnesi that makes itself as it were audible as you
walk the quiet streets, or pervade the sileut masses
Of the people on fttt days. and it vividly suggest*
to the imagination how busy the lingers must be
which are employed behind the scenes in produc?
ing it.

He'had all his life B?en presumably more than in

pathies us a writer are obviously in an opposite
direction. He had been f<T hm? and weary yean

bie List, ri. al labors and invent igationi knew no
nhati in. nt. while his imagination eoiitiuued in as

Thierry said to him: "Iamadoae up rattooal.sl

These arc the circumstances which lead his
friends to say, that if be reconciled bimaelf to the
cl inch it waa only after he bad become imbecile.
LAJfEMVAie' relatives have recently sough? to
obstruct the execution of Ids will, by laying claim
to certain of his papers which they say he did not
mean to have published. Bul the Court decided in
favor of the executors. It appears that the Jesuits
were to anxious to get ? retractation from the dving
old Abbe" of his hostility to the church, und sei so

Oneated his friends ami partisans to lend him their
unswerving shoulder up to the hist moment, .,nl
leave him not an instant exposed to the arts of his
wily Iis-. Some of his friends remained with him
during full his tinal days, and they drew up a mi?
nutely faithful account of every inetdetU thai trans?
pired, so that all dispute might he avoided after
his death. A few hours before he gave up the
ghost his respiration had becomedifficult, and s.v
ing his friends kneeling in sympathy around his
bed, he fixed a long and tender gaze upon the n
and ehtaping the beads of two of them exclaimed
" These are blissful moments .'" To one of th.ni
who said, " We shall always be united with you,"
ho nodded his head, saying, "Yes, yes, we sh.tl
meet again;" but his voice apparently failed him
His niece came in and asked him if he would not
like a priest; but he refused and requested with
earnestness to be left ill |a*ace. Is not ail this very
odd, thiit if should be thought to exceedingly worth
while to get a man's dving testimony to that which
all his life and with ail the force of his heart and
head he had repugned .' Hut you have BO Idea h >\v
extremely active the controversy bctwC n the
church and what I may call the unecclesias'ical re?
ligious sentiment is ltecnming in these latitudes. The
old indifference to the church is giving place to a
feeling of the liveliest hostility, because all men are
becoming oouviaoed that it is the interest of tho
hierarchy alone which keeps men ignorant and
brutal, and which cnnsei>tieiitly engenders the civil
despotism that is necessary to keep them in order.
Italy is the point to which all eyes now tum. and
you may depend upon it that the next revolution,
whatever else it may do or leave undone, will put
an effectual end to the secular dominion of the
Popes.
PKOt'DllON has had a curious revival within a
dav or two. It seems that one of the horse-woui.-ii
of the Hippodrome felt a certain remorse for the
vicious lite *he was lending, and wrote to Protidhou
for advice. Proiulhon, though evidently embar?
rassed by the uncertainty he was under as to the
sincerity of his correspondent, writes her a letter
full of sense and feeling. No one can accuse him of
want ol heart alter reading this letter. It ia too
leng, or 1 would translate it tor you. I give you
otic or two sflient points only. The BOOT girl pro?
fesses not to believe iu the virtue either of raea or
women. Proudbon n*plics that that is very natural
to one of her mode of life, but assures her
that it is with viiiuc as it is with health of
body: almost nobody e.ijoys it perlcctly,
and yet nobody but a tool deuies it to be the BOmaJ
state and destiny of man. I htyca Kii-pect.he ask<, the
small number of those who enjoy good health to Ie
bj pocritcs, and do you abandon yourself thereupo.i
to ihe chances ot heat and cold, to the risks of damp
lc*dging and insufficient food! Certainly not. You
believe in health a- the law of human beings, as tin
foundation of oui life. You believe that when we
lose it, we BMsat rolurn to it. or like silly fools al?
low ourselves to perish of inertia aud inanition, 8o
with virtue lucre is everywhere a little, alaxi :
uowhere a full measure. I know not where yon
get jour ideas of virtue; I suppose from the con?
vent iu which you were educated. Hut I do not
hesitate to say that even as you have life and health
and vigor of bodv^, so you have virtue also. The re?
morse and mortification you BOW experience hinder

Cn Tuesday, August 96, u eompany of Frec
Btate men under eonnniiiid of ('apt. Shore, sur
nrifled a camp of Missouriaii- on South Middle
Creek, There were about 60 Mi-Miurians,, but the
attai I was made by six Free-Mate men. The for?
mer were under coinmaiid id' (ill editor from
Fort Sci tt, Mo. They did not tight long, for the
rest of Shore's compuny coining up at the time,
ralher frightened them so that (hey threw down
their arms and ran; 15 ot them being first made
prioooenf, and two of them killed The spoils
ami tinted to three WHgon-lotids Of stores, ami some
gnna.
The next day they, in compuny with Ctipt.
Brtwn, followed up tie Ifiaaouriani m thf down as
Sugar Creek. They saw that they were being
chased, and lnade toward Missouri, where it is to
be hoped they will stay. The Fre?'-State men
Lere recovered about seventy head of cattle, gath?
ered, it is supposed, to sustain the llonler-Kufuaii
BTBDJ when they could not steal any more, and in
rit?e they got driven back. This party of Free
State men got back to Osawuttamie on Friday
night, the 29th August. On the same ewuiug. the
tun who carries the mail from Osnwattamie to
West port, ret urned to Osawmtfaniie, aller having
been a prisoner at Santa Fe (ne\ ) tor t?-n days,
charged w ilb the infamous crime of Free-Stateiam.
He reported that the Kuthans inb-nded to attack
Osuwattamie very soon; that it was liable to he
attacked at any time; and ad\ised the people
eitLer to leave it or defend it. This was iu the
night, after most people had gone to bed.
Okawattamic is situated in the fork formed by
and near the continence of the Mereduim- with
I'otawatamie Creek. On the banks of the creek
? he timber grows to about half a mile in width.
The tOWB waa beautifully located, and its residents
have proved themselves a brave people.
On Saturday morning, about b o'clock, a number
of people came into town with the news that the
Missourians had come and were within two miles
of the town. No defense had been anticipated, and j
the Free-State men were but poorly prepared to |
defend it. However, they determined to do their
?beat. It must ha recollected that their women and
children had been removed for a long time, nt least
ever since the town had been threatened with de
struction. The men numbered about 36 to 40.
Ihe Ruffians must huve numbered 500to<j<)0, tor
when drawn up iu line of battle th.-ir line reach.-d
from the timbers of the Meridezitie to the timber
of the Potawatamie, a distance of at Irast three
quarters of a mile, at the points where their a/igue
mtnt was made. They bud two pieces of cauuou,
Bad were mostly aimed with United states mus?
kets, though many of them had Keutucky rifles,
and Sharp's rifles. The Free-State men rallied at

lloiLovv Ck.htm.n'. Rons.?Mr. David Miinson,
' i tag! niouH mechanic of Indianapolis, has patented a
Corel and very possibly a valuable improvement in
lighlBtag rods, the design being to employ a superior
OaadaOBBC nnd present a very extensive surface to at?
tract the electric fluid, without matt rially ltjcreasing
the eapaaas above that of the ordinary iron rods. Tho
material employed in the patent is she? t copper or
brass, which is bint by machinery into the 6>rm of a
hollow lube, but with two wide lips or ridges on Impo?
sit?- sides, the whoh- being twieU-d to aid the strength.
The lips or ridges being sharp, especially on the side
w lu re the thin edges of the sheet arc preset.ttst, the
rod st ems admiral.ly prov ided with <tlg?a and itlightly
rBgWed points to atdact the fluid. K ich rods w?- pre
some might be matle to appear considerably more
deeply and oinaincutal than the rusty iron dow univer?
sally employed.
The Dt'MMr LotoxoTiVE,?Mr. Henry Waterman
once designed a Iocom?itive which was intended sh?rakl
Ioik like a common bngguge car, make no noise, show
no Mcoke nor steam, and although slow could pull Like
a drai-on. It was built by the Hudson Kiver lUilrosd
Co., and used for a time in hauling cars through the
slieets, a man always preceding it on horaebiu-k to
lenr the trat k, but its use was forbidden by the city
authorities. The objections having been recently re
com ai. red and removed, leave has been grunted to the
Company again to use this powerful engine in pluirs of
home power, un?ler OSBBbIb r?-si net ions, aad, thr " dum
"my," as ft is termed, is now being refitted aad im?
proved in several respects. There are three pivoa of
3d inch driving wheels, without flanges coupled, and
located between the ordinary trucks. The oyhndera
are 18 inches in diameter, the stroke of pistoa tho
ante, and <>n a recent triul the machine proved its If
capable of hauling 15 loaded freight cars up the grusle
on the Eleventh avenue w ithout difficulty. TtVreere

Tiucc.iR Protector row Firearm*.?A Phlle
dclphian has invented a case which can lie made to
pn.feet the vulnerable paits of a gun look, so as to
avoid danger of discharging the piece by any acei
dinta! violence, and yet may be readily opened ia a
moment when dvsiie?! for use. It shoukl be intro?
duced on the fowling pieces, etc., of all unskillful
sportsmen. It is invariably the unskillful who are
corekes in the use of firearms.

feed Pump, which goes by his name, has jn?t obtains J
a patent for " trannferring steam pressure from the
" back of a steam slide valve to a Axed point by
" means of a piston ami vibrating link." That seeine
to involve only a reversed form of an extremely <on?
mon device. It was used on the stem-wheel steamer
Allegheny Belle No. 3, on the Allegheny Kiver several
yeam ago; it was ob the locomotive Iron Duke, iu the
LoikIoii Exhibition of IK.%1, and is on the propelbr
< ?iii Bail; running on the lak? a. It is in fact the com
ii.net bed of balancing tbe pressure of high steam
ttheBarBl the valve is of such aixt as to render any
balancing advisable. It cvnsi-ia in fixing a cylinder in
the t. p of the ?team chei>t and connecting a piston
