A ES3iIiiISCEXC. Alexander of Russia, " passed through Brussels en route for his own capital, from Paris, where he had been resting his war worn liaibs, aad dLsplayiujj his handsome per son for a season, shortly after the issue of that great day of Waterloo, which had changed the aspect and . destinies of dynasties aud of nations The Belgian provinces, for a long time annexed to France, had been placed un dcr the sovereignty of the House of Orange and William of Nassau, but a few months be fore reinstated in his hereditary dominions, had united these possessions to his crown. His principal residence, and that of his offi cers of state, was at the Hasue ; but ho occa sionally visited Brussels; and, that his ap pearance there might not be deficient in pomp and regality, was generally accompanied by his household, and by the representatives of foreign powers at his court, aud their suites. The visit of the Czar chanced to correspond jwith one of these royal migrations to the k- Belgian metropolis, and a ball at the palace, in honor of thia event, was announced for the evening succeeding his arrival. To this, as a member of the corps diplomatique, I was favored with an invitation; so, donning my coit dress then worn on such occasions, without risk of subjecting ourselves to im puted violation of republican siuiplicity. or of unbecoming compliance with royal and imme morial custoiu-I made my way through .pages ushers and chamberlains, to a suite of splendid apartment, filled with rank, fashion; hiralry and beauty. A plain monsieur would have been such an anomaly in this courtly assembly that I sdently. aequiesced ia the title which had attached to my person in mv progress from landiog-placo to landing-place along the lofty stairway I was required to as cend, and the last usher bowed me into the room as Count Something, or Somebody a sobriquet, however, which uttriwtA aa Kfti. notice as if he had been content to introduce me under my own legitimate patronymic. The Emperor had not yet made his appearance ; nd, as seats were not permitted in the pres ence of royalty, the' company soon became Impatient of the guest of the evening. The gtX2 f a ver Paci0U3 apartment to tb, other ; th g.ntWn in det.chsd groups in different' quarters' of the room most of them, being military men, in gorgeous regi mentals, and 6ome almost bowed down by the weight of decorations attached to their button-' holes, or suspended from their necks. Many showed in-additjon to these flattering testi-. raonials, other tokens of hard -fought fields and hair-breadth escapesj and maimed limbs and scarred faces told of other and ruder eports than those for which they were at pres ent assembld.: But all went merrily now, and as the military bands,-which had lately; marshalled them in 7 ."Battle's magnificently stern array,",; . announced the herrof the pageant, "grim visaged war" would "hardly have "recognised; in countenances glowing with anticipations. -of, festivity, and smoothed to6uiiles of gentier' gallantry, ' features so lately compressed in sternness, or distorted with pain on the blood stained Belds where for years- he had been ac-" eusamed to encounter them." On eame the Czar, accompanied by the King of Holland, the J'rince of Orange, and a brilliant staff, himself the cyuosuro- of wondering eyes- as well he might be, for seldom' had nature and art combined to produce , a finer specimen of humanity. Somewhat exceeding the common height, of fair complexion, with just chough of emboti-point to indicate perfect, . but not rudeiiealth his appearance, apart from his half-hiilitary costume, was rather that of the. well-bred gentleman than 'of the hero, 'or the grandee. His face round, smooth, and somewhat florid, with light whiskers, but no moustache had neither a martial nor very intellectual expression : but was not wanting in animation, and bespoke amiability and good-fellowship, rather than disposition or ca pacity to command- An approach to bald ness was perhaps no disadvantage to him, as it 'gave elevation aud expunsiou to Jis fore head, and a lordly character to the head-, which, well-placed on his manly shoulders, . seemed better adapted to this emblem of peace ful sovereignty than to th warrior's helmet, or the conquerbr!s wealth. - Uis dress was faultless. A scarlet coat, fitting so tightly to his person, as, but for the color, to seeiu part of it, was crossed by the broad ribbon of St. Andrew, and bore no other insignia; while his well-formed limbs, in white knee-breeches, as they were caj'ed, and silk stockings of the same color, terminated in feet of proper pro portious, encased in pumps fastened by lare buckles of gold. : 3Ioving gracefully to the middle of the room, he took his stand in front of the line of assembled beauties ' 'eally all were lovely women and lift " lorg nette to his eye, aud directing it ht to left, and theu from left toaight, o 2 daz zling array, with as-much sang froid ss if lie had been inspecting a file of soldiers, he fixed at last on one of the expectant and agitated bevy, let fall his glass, stepped forward, and putting his arm daintily around her waist, without uttering a word, led her out in a polonaise a dance between a walk and : a waltz in which he was followed by th prin cipal psrsonages of the assembly, each of whom had provided himself with a partner, the Grand Seigneur in A very few turns round though with less of making his selection the room sufficed for Ins gratification, when, restoring the fair," exultant, and doubtless en vied favored one, to the rank from which he had withdrawn her, he stood in the middle cf the room, apart from all others, complacently lookiug down on his own fine limbs, with the air of one well satisfied with their symmetry and their achievement. Their was rather more of dandyism than of dignity in this self-adulation more of the jetit maitre than of the Emperor ; but then an Emperor is but a man, and few men, so favored by fortune, position and personal endowment, . would have been less desirous to display them. After a few moments' repose, the same ceremony of se lecting and lea ling oat a fair partner was repeated, and this, at intervals, three or four times during the evening, after which he con versed for an hour or two with his royal asso ciate, and then withdrew, that his august pre sence might be no longer a restraint on fes tivities ; which proceedod more gayly, and more naturally without him. Would you think, gentle reader, that in this identical hall, but three short months prior to this festal evening, and on an occa sion like this, was held that bright assembly Byron has immortalized, when " Belgium's capital had gathered there,, Hur beauty, and her chivalry,' . that the cannon's rude throat might disturb its joyousness, and turn to mourning its sounds of revelry ? Yet so it was ; and as Emperor, princes, heroes and beauties glided past nie in the dance, obtrusive fancy led me back to the fatal night which had blanched with ter ror, cheeks that, but a moment before, had been suffused with pleasure, and changed to stern and, in many instances, eternal adieus, the lover's vow and the gallant's adulation. Alas ! how many a brave spirit did that sol emn and unexpected sound summon to the deadly battle-field, never to return ; how many a bereaved fab one retired from that gay chamber, to hide her blighted hopes in seclu sion, or. the grave ! The spectres of that brief past mingled with the living who now throng ed the animated hall, and mirth and festive music, though countenanced on this occasion by Russia's imperial - autocrat, appeared in harmonious and out of place in precincts so lately invaded by the trumpet-call of war, and the awful summons of that Btill greater po tentate Death. , , t w, b. b. , Long speeches, before a jury that have become lestive and jaded by a long trial, like long Kermons. on a. summer afternoon be fore a sleepy congregation, don't set a cause forward much, sometimes. A" Philadel phia lawyer, and of course not a know-nothing, once remarked on this subject r -T either have a good cause or a bad one - If a good one, it don't need a long speech-if a bad one, thtf lew I say about ittha better.' -r - ! LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. . " In the House, on Thursday, .

' ' .".f. : "r Mr. M'Connell aidthis project had been agitated for the last ten years, and hitherto unsuccessfully. . Cambria is a" small county, and ought not to be dismembered," to build up a place like Johnstown, ; which had grown rarmllv in the last few years, owing to the A immigration of -Irish, German, and other foreigners? The member from Cambria, Mr. King, who was urging this bill, was deeply interested in that borough',, and would un doubtedly- be profited by the erection of the ) new county, and nxiug Johnstown as the county seat.., Indiana is also a email county, where people live "by their hbuesty and mdns-' try. The- new county bill includes one town ship of Indiana cotudy, -oanied Wbeatfield, which -contains, about : 125 yoters, and has prayed this Heuse not to be separated from that county. .The county of Indiana bad re cently subscribed 120,000 td one railroad, and issued bonds to the amount of 150,000 more for the North Western railroad. 'In ad dition, they had recently' built a new court house, a newjail,and now were purposing, a new poor house. Their taxation was. heavy, and they did not wish any of. their territory to be taken from theni. , The. part io be but off was but one and a half hour's ride from the borough of Indiana." Mr. MC. continued at some length in" opposition to the biilv ex plaining his past course and present position towards Pine county, Arc. .. ; X ' lr. M'Connell moved, to amend the LiU, by striking out of , the bill all the territory in cluded within the bounds of Indiana county, which was briefly debated by Messrs.

Harrison and Eyster moved to re-consider the vote on the amendment offered by Mr. M'Connell, to the first section of the bill to erect . the new county of Coneniaugh ; which was agreed to, as follow: Yeas 45, nays 27. Yeas Messrs. Avery, Baker, Barry, Berg strcswer, Boal, Carlisle, Christ, Clover, Craw ford, Cummiags, .

Morrison, Muse, Pennypacker, Reese, Sherer, Thompson, Thorn, Weddell, Wickersham and Witmer The question being on the motion of Mr. M'Connell, to strike from the bill the town ship of Wheatfield, Indiana county. M r. M'Connell was opposed to the erection of this new county, and intended using every means in his power to prevent tho passage of the bill, file did not believe it good policy in legislators to cut the . State up into email municipalities, thus adding to the local ani. county taxes without giving corresponding advantages to the people. These projects were often got up by speculators and property holders in and about the" proposed county 6tat, with the object of increasing the importance of the place, giving a fictitious value to prop erty and speculating successfully upon the ex citement they often have themselves solely created. He thought the Legislature should narrowly watch these schemes, and refuse to endorskany which did not come recommended by -the wish of the, people interested, and by the strongest proofs that there was a necessity for a change. The people of Johnstown were naturally anxious to have their town made a county seat, but he did not think that under th? circumstances, they should have their desires gratified , Concmaugh county . pro posed to take one township from Indiana, one from Westmoreland.1 two from' Somerset and the balance f om" Cambria. He did not be lieve there was any necessity for, the county,' or that the people- interested aesirea u, uu he was especially anxious to save the county of Indiana from mutilation. Indiana county was .now of good size and shape, and there were many reasons why it should not be dis membered. The roads rutIi through it, : and 'connecting even its extreme limits with f Indiana borough, were good and generally j easy , oi travel. JKeeently the citizens tad subscribed large amounts for the construction of railroads within her borders, which would increase the facilities for people reaching the connty seat. . They had subscribed .170.000 to the construction of the branch road from Blairsvillc to Indiana, which will go by the i boundaries of WheatSell township, and 12, 000 to the North Western railroad. ; They have also lately constructed a tjumbcr of public buildings, and are now about pur- j chasing a farm on which tc erect a poor house w",U u which' Jiavc i,een, and wiHli, sources of great expense and Heavy taxation. All portions" of the county have been taxed to meet 'thesa expenses ; .among the rest, the people' of Vlu-atfield township, .which it is . now proposed to- take , from that .county and make part of another county, in which it will be compelled to bear its part of exactly simi lar burthens ' lie-considered this an act of injustice,-which he could not sanction. J56me of the citizens of Wheatfield township, are now only eight miles from the borough of In; diana. . H this new t county be erected, they will bo twenty miles from Johnstown, wLh Laurel' nill between, them. The argument of convenience to the people when applied to this case, is entirely against this bill.. Wheat field township contains about 325 voters, all of whom are opposed to. this bill- He had not heard of single one, who was not anxious 'that it should be defeated. He trusted their , wishes would not be disregarded, and in a matter o seriously afiecting their interests and comfort. He did not think that whole districts " should be annoyed and dksatisfied, merely to gratify Johnstown, or any other town ambitious of being made" a seat of jus tice. ' He had the strongest ceafidence that this hill would not pass; hut he would not permit himself, to believe that the Legislature wouhl. refuse to strike" from the bill that part including Wheatfield township, Indiana coun ty, in the face oi their manuestatiOBs ot de cided hostility to it. He has always been friendly to the erection of the county of Pine., but that was beeause the people of Indiana county were favorable to that, if any division was to be made. . He had lor several years heartily supported this measure, and had used every exertion to pass it. But if the Legis lature should determine to erect Coneniaugh county, hc.cpuld not urge the erection of Pine, as Indiana county could not be cut at both points.; 1 ,. , . .. ' -Mr. Cummins thought the indications this morning, were, that tho bill would pass. He thought it wrong that there was no justice in it and knew that the people of the pro posed county did not ask for it, outside of the borough of Johnstown. The people of Som erset county did not want it, not even the people of the districts proposed to be embraced in it. This their vote of last fall had shown. He had told the people of those districts, that if they wished to be cut fron Somerset county, they should vote for him; if they did not, they should vote against him This, he had done, because he had : supported the new county of Concmaugh last winter, and wished them to express their feelings on this subject. They understood the issue, and voted against him almost unanimously, showing that they wanted no change in their county relations. He cannot see why a new county should be formed. , Take a straight line from Ebens burg to Johnstown, and the distance between the points is about 13 miles. . If they get the territory they desired from Somerset county, the distance from .Johnstown to that end of the county would be 10 miles; and the county would contain but 300 square miles, while it would spoil the shape of the counties of Som erset, Cambria and W estmoreland, lie wish-i ed the gentleman from Cambria (Mr. King) would give a good reason why the bill should pass. The people of Somerset county, liv ing in the parts proposed to be placed into Concmaugh, never go to law have not to his knowledge brought a suit for thirty years, and it was a matter of comparative unimport ance whether they were nearer a seat of jus tice than they now re. He hoped this bill would not pass; bat if it did, he would try to be content. Mr. King replied, but bo indistinctly as to be almost inaudible at the opposite tide of the Hall. He said the people had recently been thinking of this subject, had instructed their Senator to go for thia bill ; which was an in dication of their feelings The population of Johnstown is between five and six thousand, and were greatly inconvenienced from want of access to the sheriff and other county offi cers, and jail and other couuty buildings. In consequence of these disadvantages, the peo ple there had been very anxious for some years, for the erection of the new county. llis election had turned on this question He, however, now gave notice that at the proper time, ho would move to amend the bill, so as to leave the erection of the new county to the voters within the prescribed limits. : -Mr. M'Connell and Mr. King further de bated the question ; when, - ; Mr. Daugherty made a few remarks intro ductory to a letter he handed to the clerk to be read, from parties residing in the northern part of Cambria county Mr. Foster moved an amendment f-" the amendment, so as to cut from tho till that portion relating to Westmoreland county ; which was disagreed to.
