Cot— J. J. LEHMANOW.iKI. — This gentleman haslnTs
been lecturing, dorm?, the present week, in the Grer
`:::4teiux Lutheran Church, in Seventh street. Col. Leh
maxiowskyser%l d in the Frt•nch army with and under
Napoleon for 2:3 years, and during that time he sh ar ed
in 200 engagements, exclusive of skirmishes, of which
he kept no account.. It is impossible that his lectures
could be otherwise than interesting, when we think of,
tbe important incidents and exciting scenes of lie peg
rind he speaks about of which frie saw, part of
Which he was." Col. Lehmanowsky is now 71 years
of ago, but would readily be taken for a man of 40 or
50—indeed, there are many men 15 or 20 years young-'
er, who bear more palpable marks of age. He is a man
of iron frame; just such a man, as we could readily be.
tieve could have endured the hardships and dangers he
describes so well.
We attended his lecture on Thursday evening.—
When we entered, he was describing, with the aid of a
. small transparency, showing the position of the armies,
the battle of Castiglione, iii the campaign of Italy. He
gave a rapid and glowing sketch of the masterly man
ceuvre by which that battle was gained, and of the
subsequent and c.inchi ling successes of Napoleon's
Italian Campaign—his description of the surrender of
the venerable and skilful General Wurin:er to the
yciung hero of the republic, was extremely interesting.
He next described the battle of Austerlitz; on either
side of the valley of that name, the French dud Rus•
sign farces were posted; th, Russian 3, however, had
the advantage of position, and the ntmtlte us °fate French
did not justify"them in an attack on an enemy well post
id in a .fortified camj•. Under these circumstances
Bonaparte resorted to a stratagem to draw his enemies
"ftaim tbeirposition, and a mateeuvre to defeat them.
,Ide sent a flag of truce to Alexander, asking that he
would gam him a conference with a view to settle the
termsof a peace. The Russian Emperor declined to
Meet the French General in person, but deputed his
aid-de-camp, a vain young nobleman, to go to the French
'top to hear overtures for accommodation. When it
was understood that an envoy was to he expected, Na
poleon gave orders for his army to remain perfectly
quiet, suppressing all those indications of hilarious en
joyment which distinguished a French army when bi
vouacked, when the envoy arrived, Napoleon received
him in the midst of his Generals and Colonels, who with
downcast eyes and dejected ceuntenances seemed al
ready more than half beaten. All this gloom was put
ott by the General's order, who referred the envoy to the
melancholy situation of his forces, as his reason to wish
for peace. As might have been expected, however,
nothing definite could he settled;and the Russian count
went hack to his master, fully impressed with the be
lief that an easy victory awaited them. In pursuance
of his plan the MKT. tiny Napoleon sent his cavalry un
der Murat, to mike a feint attack on the Russians,
thus inducing them to believe that he meant to retreu , i
and when they left their camp Murat was ordered to re
tire before them till he came to the lake, where be was
to make a stand. The plan succeeded—the Russians
earn down from their, strong eminence and fiercely
followed Murat, and as they thought, the retreating
French army. The moment, however, that the
French cavalry made a stand, the remainder of the ar
nsy,who had not moved from their camp came down up
niiiise Russian rear, and after adesperate contlict,drOve
them out upon the frozen lake, which ofirod them the
only avenue to escapes the ice gave way and 30,000 of
them perished. The Colonel's account of this great
battle was of course much mire full of interest than any
other report could be, and absorbed the whole at
tention of his audience.
The Col. then took up the history of the campaign
of Egypt. He described the landing of the French,
and their first encounter with the Marnelukes, in which,
owing, as he said, to the novel mode of fighting pursu
ed by their enemies, the French were beaten. This suc
cams of the Turks, said On Colonel, caused great re
joicing in England—the city of Loudon was illumina-
ted; but said the old veteran, as the "old fire of the flint"
sparkled out. they soon got news that made them put
their lamps out again. He alluded to the result of the
battle of the Pyramids, which he then described—the
French array, he said, was formed in hollow squares,
with artillery in the centre of each. When the squares
si.xe attae:.ed, the intenry fell off on eider side, and
the cannon were dirketed with terrible effect upon the

HON. JAMES BUCHANAN AND THE PRESI
DENCY.
To the .Citizens of Pennsylvania:
In relation to the Presidency, the maxim of Penn
sylvania should be "'tulls vestigea retorsum." Hav
ing once taken our stand, nothing but the most iMpo
sing necessity, should induce the Democracy of this
groat state to surrender claims thnt are due to her up
on the most obvious principles of political courtesy and
party faith. If we now tamely surrender our rights,
either through supineness or a morbid dread of failure
in our assertion of them, or it; misled by manifestations
of feelings elsewhere, we should become dubious of
success, ann press ourclaims in u halting, hesitating
manner, when again can we assure ourselves of a union
in our favor, or what reason have we to flatter oursel
ves that a future period trill be more auspicious to the
justice of our cause, than the present? The claims of
Pennsylvania can surely never be stronger than they
are now; she has for more than half a centmy stood
steadfast in the cause of democracy; she has frequent..
ly, by the firmness and consistency of her yeomanry,
stayed the storm of battle, and decided the political
campaign. She has permitted her statesmen to be
overlooked time and again, and been willing to follow
where she was entitled to lead, mothering the success
of the govt cause to the elevation of her own distin
guished patriots; and now, when, with a unanimity un
precedented, she has placed in nomination one of the
most eminent citizens oldie Union, she seems destined
to sett his name passed by, unheeded in her sister states,
and to oreate no seartrith c(•rrespotident with the feel
ings that have i nduced her to bring her illustrious states
man before the public. Is this causen by the neglect
of those who have beer, thos active in sustaining tha
claims of Pennsylvania, or lv some inherent difficulty
in persuading other states to du ue lastiee? If by the
first, it is time we should arm for die conflict; if by the
last, it is time to proclaim to those around us, that we
will not permit ourselves to be neglected or despised;
that Pennsylvania, cool and cautious and forbearing as
she is, has yet the spirit that will render her indignant
at wrung, and the firmness that will not submit to injus
tice. ‘l' hen we look around us, we shall readily per
ceive that tiers is no want of activity on the part of
the friends of ether candidates, to pus them upon the
people. In some parts of this state. die puce is em
ployed in setting forth the claims of General Cuss; Mr.
Van Buren's friends are organized in force; the gallant
Hero of the Thames liar his advocates and his news
papers; and Mr. Calhoun is not without a reasonable
support. Every one seems 0 iger to trench upon the
manor of old faithful Pennsylvania, but in no state in
the Union is there a liberal, generous, and honorable
spirit exhibited towards the Pennsylvania candidate.
It has ever been so in relation to every thing Pennsyl
vanian; we have not acquired die art of putting our best
foot foremost. There is an inherent modesty in die
composition of our people, that prevents their cum men
ding themselves to public node,: an awkwardness in
proclaiming, their own intrinsic worth, and a diffidence
in enforcine ' their claims, that renders them constantly.
liable to suffer from the pretensions of others of infe
rior merit, but greater audacity. We scorn to want
moral courage in sustaining our own rights, whilst we
cast ourselves into the grip with great intrepidity when
the riizirts of others amass:tiled: we overlook our own
peculiar advantages, why neverour aid is hi coked in die
great cause of democracy and oar country, and suffer
other,. to pluck the fruits of the tree which we have
planted.. it is, inpart, for these !masons that Pennsyl
vania is now eater:MlT the humiliation of having her
favorite candidate for die Presidency passed by, by the
great National Democracy, as though he were not em en
in die field; occasionally insulted with a complimenta
ry-notice, but not looked up to as one who is rut for
want in earnest for the highest and most responsible
station that can be coveted by man; as on e whose own
tunbition will be satisfied by the bare tender of his
limn ? . in the National Convention. and who will then
willingly fall baek, whilst others grapple in the arena
for the glorious prize of a whole people's fa% or. Let
us ask ourselves seriously, are we, who have contributed
to place Mr. Buchman in this position, doing him jus
tice, ourselves credit, or the State honor, by having
nominated and •'applanded him to the echo'' merely.
and then left him to win his own way to the PreAli,o
tiil chair! to make a personal appeal to his friends in
other states, to .subsidize Now , pap•ers, and to urn' his
elevation to the :station to which it is our duty to labor
wet t iiimeasiiig perseverance to raise him! Do we not
know that Mr. Buchanan rests his claims upon his lir
portant service,., the confidence of his friends, his states

Tuesday morning, berme I knew that my tickets were
printed, your Mr. rhino me 'tithe street, and in
f,irm:d me that one of them had lieu brought to yoor
office, and it was the opinion that I had intentions to
((ref:ire the voters with them. I gave him iny reasons
why I had done AO, and he appeared satisfied. The
next moronic., however, they wore wired in your pa

leaders of a p Lily, you felt hound to make capital out
of everything you could, I kept silent, supposing you
were done with it; but in yours of the illst ins:. you a

it was right .lAI prope r to have the tickets ache differ

be charged with ii stroving them, which must have
been the case, if I tool: my supply from their stand..
I therefor.% alter consulting, with friends of each politi

concluded to print Tickets at my o wn expen s e, wad,

he ran of no appeal to their party feelings, or oilier
means von know are ofteii used) to induce them
to vote for another and not for Inc.
The reason why the names of th- parties (which ap

head of each ticket, was simply to designate them, so
that my friends might have no trouble in th e selection.
Those were Illy motives, and none other; the idea of

too late for you to warn your fri•-nds? My contrary

ROMAN ANTIQUITIES
Rim:, July 4.—Great pains are taken here to pre
serve from further decay the architectural relics of the
ages anterior to Christianity. The tottering portion of
the Colosseum lies been propped up: and the temple of
Nerva is about to be repaired. Our public roads are
likewiso undergoing great improvements. The here
tofore incommodious one, the Monte Cavo (Mons La-
tiatis) has been leveled; and they are building a via
duct at Genzano. The great road across the Pontine
marshes will be improved; the gloomy desert which
formerly surrounded the traveller has been planted with
rows ofelm trees; whils ton either side the eye is gratified
bvthe pleasing aspect of cornfields and pasture lands.
The malaria of that district nevertheless, continues to
exercise a baneful influence on health.

Notwithstanding the number of extensiv • Works ,

It is not desired to dispose of the property under the
