THE TUNIS EMRASBY AND THE PRESIDENT. The President, on Monday, received in a formal manner the special Tunisian Ambassador, the introduction having been conducted by Secretary Seward. His Excellency General Otman Hashem read from a paper written in Arabic, an address, of the principal part of which the following is a translation : Excellency:—His Highness the Bey of Tunis, my august sovereign, presente to your Excellency bis warmest greet ing's, and the respectful homage which is due to your exalted position. He lias scut me to appear in your presence for the purpose of expressing to your Ex cellency and to your people the great pleasure which he experienced on the cessation of your calamitous war, and on the restoration of peace aud tranquil i ity in your great country. My august sovereign has also instructed me to pre- I sent to your Excellency expressions ol condolence for the tragic end of the il lustrious man Abraham Lincoln, whose death justly excited national grief, and exceedingly affected his Highness. We ardently hope and pray that with this) event may end tho misfortunes of the United States. In view of the friend ship which unites the two countries, his highnoss, the Bey, sends your Excellen cy his portrait as a souvenir of his friendship, for the augmentation of which, between our respective people, Ids Highness has a lively Interest and a warm desire. The President replied: Qknerai.: Thin inauguration of na tional courtesies between the old conti nent of Africa and lite now continent of America seems to us to tie suggestive ; and we trust that it is auspicous. lam glad that Tunis has sent us an envoy, and am especially pleased 1 hat you have been chosen by his highness, the Bey, to be that minister. You are favorably known to us as a soldier and as a scholar, and above all as a statesman devoted to the extinction of slavery. You will be able to report lo his highness, the Bey, that the American nation are trying a humanitarian experiment. It it* nothing lens than this—whether a people can save liberty and at the same timegovorn itself. The events, pleasingand painful to which you have referred iv your speech, and to which your government has referred so kindly in your letter ut credence, were incidents of this great trial. We have accepted these as such; Siile we thank Ood that He has s from the calamities which were tied us by great crimes, we thank Him for having inclined the nations ol the earth to interpret these crimes and their consequences so justly. We hum bly trust that our success will lie benefi cent not only at home, but throughout the world, because itwill give assurance !i hough war and conquest are so I by Providence as to produce jut effects, yet that benevolence •co are even belter agencies to b the progress of civilization, rtraitof the Bey, which he has besides being interesting to us eness of a national friend, is val oo, as a work of art. It is re with satisfaction, and Congress apprised of the gift.

Freeman Clarke's reply to Gov. l'eirpoinl's card, and tho allidavit of Charles D. Smith touching the same subject. It illustrates a most selfish phase of human nature— that of endeav oring to shield the conduct of a friend when he knows that that friend is wrong, simply because the Governor has had it in inn power and is still able It extend him favors which no one else is able to dp. As was curtly observed by the Washington Ctirumolc some days ago the word ol Hon. Freeman Clarke is as good as that of Governor pen point, but as Mr. Clarke's statement is now substantiated by that of Mr. Smith, on oatli it makes his statement overpower ing sunt that or Gov. l'eii point utterly worthless. If Hie case was one lor tbe curts a jury would have no uiuieulty w-hatever iv dtcidiug it iv accordance with the great preponderance of evi dence in favor of Air. Clarke Ihe peo ple of the State--of the whole country, indeed—have already so decided it and the efforts of the Whig and all ol Iters will not be sutliclent to change their verdiut. We do not believe the asser tion of the Governor that the people of the Stole will refuse to pay the Internal Revenue Tax, but that he said they would do so under certain contingencies! no sensible person can doubt after read iug the testniony.— Alexandria Mate PBELIION IN JAMAICA. ence of the New York News.] Kisoetox, Jamaica, October 22, l s 'i'>. The cloud has passed over your coun ry to lower upon ours. The result ot giving rein lo the savagism of the ne rro is felt in our beautiful but desolated sland. lt commences with us, it may end with you. Jamaica is to-day the scene of a negro outbreak that threatens a repetition o e the horrors of the San lomiiigo insurrection. For some time past, symptoms of in subordination have been apparent among the "freedmen" of this island. Re leased from the discipline of compulsory labor, the black population have, from the hour of emancipation, exhibited a disposition tp relapse into their native barbarism. Their natural disinclina tion to work, their ignorance anil im providence, have Ion;; since .disordered the industrial system that depended upon them for its physical efficiency. Lands were alloted to them for their support, but they refused to till them even for the immediate purposes.of sus tenance. The plantation* went to ruin, R manor houses were deserted antl left ecay, the negroes crowded into the >s and gave themselves up to indo e, vice and crime. liii came, your civil war and the consummation of the grand project of "unit ersal freedom" that has cost you so fearful a sacrifice. We are now be pinning to reap some of the fruilsof that lithi'ophy as bitter as those that eve already lasted. The negro is scholar in any theory that prom im exemption from labor.

I have given you what I conceive to be the cause of the outbreak that has turned this island into shambles, and lias let loose the negro population to the guidance of their ferocious instincts, like fiends thirsting for human blood. The rebellion has broken upon us like aclapof thunder, so suddenly, and, as yet, so imperfectly known in its details, iv this locality, that 1 am unable to give you any definite description without re ferring to reports that 1 still hope may prove untrue, rlut it is certain that the insurrection is widespread, and, seem ingly the reenlt of organized prepara tion. It is characterized by atrocities revolting to human nature. The whites who have fallen inlothe hands of these savages, have been doomed to slaughter without distinction of ageor sex. They tear out tbe tonguesof their v ictims, cut offthebreastsof women,strangle and mu tilate little children, and practice all the enormities that render the record of the insurrection in San Domingo the dark est page in history. The Goverhor- General Isjustly alarmed, and is taking every measure to suppress the revolt, but the means at his command are insufficient. He has sent a mail steamer to Nassau for troops and men-of-war, and also to Halifax for the Seventeenth Tegiment, stationed at that place. All isconfusion, excitement and dismay. I have neither time nor inclination to repeat the many reports that are coming in, hoping that they may be exaggerated. Enough, however, is known to justify the Governor-Gene ral in characterizing the movement as a "rebellion."

A French Opinion of the Dis banding OeT ol'H AltMY.—The Paris j Ti in/m contains a high eulogium on the Washington Cabinet. On the ceasa J tion of the civil war the American Gov eminent had one million of troops un derarmn, perfectly disciplined, and prom of their recent triumph. A single wort from the War Olrloo has sultieed to dis perse this nMM of military. In les. than three mouths every camp has been cleared—those Imniense groups of mci who, it was said, were iost to the arts of peace, have quietly returned to thei homes, and are restored lo agriculture commerce and industry. There havt only been retained a sufficient numbe of tni'it and officers lo complete th work of pacification and coieolida! order in the South, which la strUgglln with the flifiicuUiea inseparable from state of trannitinti from slavery to th institutions of a free country.

THE EXPLOSION ON THE ST. JOHN. [Kroui Hie New Vurk Henil.l of Tue ..lay ] The excitement which prevailel throughout the city on Sunday in refer ence to tho lamentable accident on board the St. John was considerably intensi fied yeslerday. From an early hour the dock at which she lay was crowded by anxious inquirers after relatives and friends who were expected. The vessel was visited and the scene of the direful catastrophe viewed by large numbers. Though every effort had been made to remove all traces of the accident, the broken panels, the stained furniture aud the unfortunate victims were stih there. These In themselves told a sufficiently clear tale, Imt the faces of the anxious Inquirers woultl have told it as well. All the emotions of grief and despair were visible there. Down tho cheeks of many the big tears coursed one after another, while in others the vacant look antl agonized expression spoke mutely, but truthfully, of a sorrow which words could not express. There lay the bodies of the victims undisturbed, while those who had been so attached to them iv life now mourned them dead. RAPDITIONAL VICTIMS, he tale of horror was not closed by recital of the names of eleven of the mis. Three more have swelled the to fourteen. Cvrille Archambeault, whoso wire and'ehild were killed Instantaneously, was removed on Sunday to the New York hospital, where ho was placed under the care of Dr. T. T. Sabine. At first it was thought that with proper attention he would recover, as the ex tent of tbe injuries he had received was not so great; but the shock was too much for hint, and on Sunday evening, at ten o'clock, he expired. Before he was borne from the vessel he stated he knew his wife and child were num bered with the dead, although he had not been told of it. About nine o'clock yesterday evening he received the sacra ment, from a minister who was in at (nditnce, and expressed himself per- Otly nappy. He now lies beside the idles of his wife ami child in the dead nuseatthe hospital. Adrian Hearles, the baggage master, residing at. No. st) Luqueer street, Brooklyn, died at 1 a. *~ on Monday. His sufferings must have been intense, having been scalded <tver almost his en tire body. Kverytluug possible was done by Dr. T. S. White to preserve his life, but from tho first it was seen that human aid would prove unavailing. Ho was proceeding- through stateroom hall at the time the explosion l**»k place, and was, therefore, exposed to Ihe greatest danger. Enveloped hi Ihe deadly steam, scarcely a single iKMtioi: of his body escaped injury. His bead anil face protested a fearful spectacle. | While crawling lo the after saloon ou his hands and knees he was', robbed by I some inhuman scoundrel of his watch I ami chain. This, however, was not the I only case in which advantage was taken of the accident by wretches. Mr. Searlt had been a long time in the service ol the St. John, andhas always bourne thi character of an honest and upright man. He leaves behind him a heart broken wife ami three orphan children. S. W. Northup, of .'{"i Wpencer afreet, Albany, who was badly scalded, died at the resideuco of his friends, 14 East Thirty-ninth street, during the night ot .Sunday. It was not at first thought the injuries he had receiveil were ofaseri ous nature; but It was found he hail in haled some of the steam, which caused Up to the present time the list of those who have tlied from tho effects of Inju ries received is as follows.

A member of the Canadian Parlia ment having heard of the deaths of Mr. aud Mrs. Archambeault and tluir daughter, yesterday arrived in the city and took charge of the bodies, which will lie conveyed to Montreal to-day. THE INJUUED. Almost all of the injured persons have been taken lo their homes. Mary Mc- Donald, a domestic of the clerk of the vessel, was removed at eleven o'clock yesterday and placed in charge of her aunt. This unfortunate girl was severe ly scalded about the legs and ankles by stepping into the boiling water which filled tiie stateroom. Her injuries are not so serious as tn preclude hope«t of re covery. When Imrne from the vessel, by six men on a pallet, shewasin astate of perfect insensibility. Aaron 11. Cooper (colored) is still ly ing in a precarious state at the New York Hospital. He is under the care "i Dr. White, who holds out strong hot** of bis recovery. Of the other injured ones, there are few who have sustained very seriour, scalds, so that it is sincerely hoped no more additions will have to be made to the already too lengthened list of victims. .... *• „„ As was stated, several of the sufierers were removed from the St. John by the Morristown, that went to her assistance. Among these were Mr. W M»-»•£. Packard, of No. 167 \\ est Twenty-1 second street.

Tt would be thought that, however base or depraved a man might be, tho fearful nature of such a catastrophe would have at least prevented hi tn from the perpetration of a crime. But it was not so. Surrounded by the dead and dying while the screams of the sufferers sounded from all shies, there were wretches so vile, so base, as to carry out their profession as thieves. Several cases occurred proving this-one, that or the baggage master's watch, has been mentioned. ~, ' __ „„ Wesley Dillon, one of the waiters on board the steamer St. John, was yester day arrested by officer Field of the fifth precinct, on the charge of having stole.', a gold'watch.antl chain, value*. at irolo, belonging to Mr. Benjaniin B.

CADSBB Ae'CRIBBi? TUB IK PLOSION. There is oousidefable difference of opinion as regards the cause of tbe ex plosion, which will be, it Is to be pre sumed, set nt rest by the investigation before the Coroner's jury. It is cur rently reported that the irou in the boiler was of that description called sand iron. Sand iron is iron in which some foreign substance has become embedded, which as a natural consequence makes it more liable to explosion. It is a diffi cult thing for the manufacturer to pre vent this admixture taking place some times ; but each plate requiring by law to be stamped as perfect under a heavy penalty, few cases of the kind occur. The accident in this case was what la called a " burst." The boiler is still ill its place, anil the piece burst out is still •**> flapped and not separated from the resttiindcr of the boiler.
