Expeditions, to bestow some national tesli.

conduct in fitting out the late expedition
from New York, in search of Sir John
Franklin.
THE CRISIS IN FRAXCE.
The affairs of France have reached the
long dreaded crisis. The toup d'etat has
been made.
On the 1st inst., the President, Louis
iNapoleon, seized the reins of government
dissolved the Assembly by proclamation,
declared the city of Paris in a state of
iteifie, arrested the lenders of the opposition,
land appealed In the people. The prepara
tions on the part of the President for this
movement were perfected with consummate
skill and secresy. Everything was consum
mated before the Assembly had the least
idea of the President's intentions.
During Monday night an entire new Min
istry was formed.
At daylight on Friday morning the Piesi
. den's proclamation was found posted every
. .where throughout t ho citv. in which he
ordered the dispersion of the Assembly, the
restoration of universal suffrage, and also
.proposed a new system of government. He
- proposes the instant election by the people
and army of a President, to hold his office
.for ten years, and to bo supported by a
Council of State and by two Hoiis?s of the
Legislature. Pending the election, the Exe
cutive rower is to remain in the hands of
.the Prerilent.
,. The election is to take place during the
present month, and the President promises
to bow to. the will of the people. He
ays he has been forced into his present
attitude. -
It it certain that Thiers, Changarnier, and
others, opponent of the President, haj de
elded to demand his arrest and impeach
ment en the 2nd inst., and were almost in
the act of moving in the matter, when they
and their principal friends were arrested
and conveyed to Vincennes, where they are
closely confined.
Whenever the members of the Assembly
have attempted to meet officially, they have
been ordered to disperse, and arrested if
they refused. '
Two hundred members had been arrested
many had subsequently been released ; but
all' the leaders of the opposition were in
prison.
" Three hundred of the members of the
Assembly are said to have uiven in their
adhesion to the President, and telegrahic
despatches from the Departments, state that
the President's demonstration has been hail
(tj with the utmost enlhusiam.
Subsequently, however, the reports were
Contradicted, and on the strength of such
contradiction, numerous barricades were
erected in different quarters of Paiis, but
were speedily broken down, by the troops.
At one of these two members of the As
sembly, occupying prominent places among
the populace, were killed in the conflict. '
On Tuesday, a section of the Assembly
coulifinatl to meet, and decreed the deposi
tion of the President and his impeachment
for high treason. The meeting, however,
was dispersed by the troops. -
The decree of the President is ridiculed
on all hands.
Troops have been placed in the houses
of ex-officers of the Assembly, who er
exempted trom arrest ; among others, M.
Dnpin.
The full rigor of martial-law had been
proclaimed against all persons conrerned
in erecting. barricade! who may be found
at them, and large number had been
hot.
Up to Thursday night the complete suc
cess of the President seemed certain.

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE
MOVEMENTS IN FRANCE.
The Pari correspond en iT of the London
Herald and Chronicle state that Gen. Castel
lan, at Lyons, and Gen Evymier, have de
clared against tho President. But this is
denied. Doubts are also entertained of
Gen. Mignon's disposition towards the Gov
ernment. Strasbourg and Rheims are said
to have risen.
The Daily News states that Gen. Neu
moyer is marching from the north with four
regiments, and will oppose the President.
The correspondent of the Times states that
the attetnuted emeule at Drove' was
promptly suppressed, and that the most rcli
able accounts from the department are fa
vorable to the President's cause.
PRUSSIA.

Foote is now making the wmc fiuht in the

and he will yet come out victorious in this
stins'e as he did nut nf the hist.
Nor must von imL'ine thut there is the
slightest intention of driving an) body away
from the Compromise that is now willing in
support it, on account of p-isl difference. Oi
the contra i y, it is to bring in ntte supporters
to the measuie. Two great acquisitions have
already been made: Messis. Hunter and
Mason, of Virginia. The two Senators from
Rhode Island, Clark and Green, voted against
he Compromise bill, but now Mr. Clark and
the successor of Mr. Green, Mr Suimes, will
vote for it, as a final measure and a law.
believe, even Mr. Davis, of Massachusetts,
will vote for it; and a great many others
The object then is to give to the Compromise
measures a great moral strength, and to pre
vent a new agitation of it before the p' opl
at the ensuing elections.

The fire in the Connressinnal Libraiy
broke out this morninir about hnlf-pnst 7
o'clock. It was first discovered by the
watchman, and the flames were then ut the
centre-table, sweeping round to the north
west shelving. When the door was burst
open a few buckets of water would have
suppressed the fire ; but very shortly, and
by the time the alarm had b'-en sounded,
the entire Library was in flames. The Li
brary contained 55.000 volumes. Of these
about 20,000, in an adjoinin room, were
suved. All the busts, puintins and elegant
fixtures were destroyed. The loss is esti-
mated nt $100,000. The rnof of the build
ins is alt burnt nut, and the eterior of the
building on the west blackened by the
smoke ami flames.
The President ami the members of hi
Cabinet were on the cronnd. An engine
was placed in the Rotunda. Every passnse
in the bnildine wae flooded with water, as
most of it had to be conveyed in buckets.
There were many thousands of people
present.
The dome of the Capitol was at one time
in dancer, but this, and the two chambers of
Congress are uninjured. The flames wsr,
cot under about 12 o'clock, but columns of
smoke from the burning fragments are s'ill
loomins up.
It w not ascertained whether the fire

whether it was the act of an incendiary.

were exceedingly valuable, and cannot be

What the final result will be, is hard to

By. the politeness of Col. Lea, Commis
sioner of Indian Affairs, we have seen a en
rinsity of great rarity and interest, left for a
few days at the Bureau. It was bionch
from the Pottawatomie Reservation, on the
Kansas river, by Dr. Lykins, who hits been
residing there nearly twenty years ol Ihe
thirty he has spent on the frontier., It con
sists of four small rolls or strip of parch
ment, closely packed in the small compart
ment of a little box or locket of about an
inch cubical content. On these parchments
are written in a style of unsurpassed excel
lence, and far more beautiful thiin print,
portions of the Pentateuch, to be worn ns
fioullets, and intended as stimulants to the
memory and moral sense.
Dr. Lykins obtained it from Patagwe, a
Pottawatomie, who got it from his grand
mother, a very old woman. It has been in
this particular family about fifty years
They hed originally two of them, but on
one occasion, a the party in possession
were crossing a rapid in some river in the
lake country of the North, the other wa
irrecoverably lost. The one lost was be
lieved by the Indian to contain an account
of Ihe cieation of the world. That brought
by Dr. Lykin has been kept for a very
long period in the medicine bag of the
tribe, used as a charm, and never allowed
to suffer any exposure, until, bv s'rnns en
treaty and the crest influence h had with
Tnpinepee, the principal P.iltawatum'C
chief, he wa permitted to brine it oa to
Washi 'glon, bin under a firm pledge io re
store it on his return.
It ha hitherio been most carefully kept
from the rapaeinu vision of the white man.
Prttegwe had it in hi possession many years
before his curiosity prompted him to cut the
stitches of the cover and disclose the con
tents. But this coming to the knowledge-of
old Billy Caldrel1, chief of the Council
Bluff branch of the tribe, he strennonslv
advised Pategwa to shot it up and keep it
close, and say nothing about bavin" it.
Dr. Lykins came to a knowledge of the cir.
ciimstauce of its pnssession from a half-
bleed.
The wonder is, bow this singular article
