' The fact that the Yucaianese had abolished

magnificent Cap of Liberty to the city of Paris,

at the Park Theatre, on Tuesday evening
week. the ceremony. was a very brilliant af

persona.. The cap was presented by Theo.

cially solicited to perform that part of the cere

his other duties to do so. After the presenta

The Whigs of Maryland may be set down as
tmanimone for Taylor. A State Convention
was held in Baltimore on Wednesday week, at
which resolutions in favor of Gen. Taylor, and
nobody 'else,_ were adopted, and an electoral
ticket fontted. The Baltinlore Clipper is posi
tive that the friends of Gen. T. 'in that State
are fully resolved to run him,• on independent
grounds; in total disregard of all dictation from
National Conventions, and that the consequence
will be that there will be three candidates in
the fieltl,..teitides the Abolition candidate. In
such an event it predicts that the election may
go to the Mouse of - Representatives, a result
which it ;contemplates with extreme repug

Net the Bast among the many significant oc

Queen to the Isle of Wight. It appeis that
this step was the subject of considerable debate
among her :advisers, and was only determined

Since: the time of James 11., no monarch has
left the roylil palace under the apprehension of
personal dOger,—then the monarch fled from
the nobility 4 J and now the Queen leaves for fear ,
of thq people. Whatever may have been the
result of tl4 great Chartist assemblage, an im
portant
adulission, on the part of the Crown, of
its insecuriti and danger, is made to the world.

atsemidage of the people, a scathing com

monarchical rule. It is a forced, but positive
admisSion of the weakness of the government—
a conCessioti, that the rulers fear the ruled. It
is-only a fe* days since; that an English jour
nal, in notiiiing the revolution in France, con
soled itself,iand congratulated its government,
that in Erikland the causes that led to the
change of Ocivernment of France did not exist.
It boasted that the poorest peasant in England
could unmolestedly , and as a right not to hr

liberty of the subject., for security for the Mon

before the Creurt of Inquiry.in Ilfexieo, - toucbing
the everlasting subject of,thelLeenidisi letter
—the original end the -interllnestione. The'
authorship of the former, it will be recollected,
has been untied by Maj. Bums in his testi
mony before the Court ef Inquiry. The-re
sponsibility of the interlineatiens, in regard to
which the Court was So long occupied, has been
Wholly assumed by the editor Of the New Or
leans Delta, to whom' the original-Leonidas
letter was addressed—and the testimony before
the Court is consistent with this state of facts.
But the developement to which we refer, has
reference to and implicates another officer, in at
least an implied sanction of the very offence
charged upon Gen. Pillow—and that officer is
no less a personage than the • commander-in
chief himself !
The fact comes out upon the trial of Gen.
P., that after the famous general order about
letter-writing frdm the camp to the states, out
of which all this difficulty' has arisen, Gen.
Scott was himself cognizant of the writing of a
letter by Col. Hitchcock; one of his aids, de
signed. for publieation,in substance or in whole,
and actually published in a newspaper in the
United States—that this letter was-any thing
but complimentary to Gen. Pillow, then under
arrest on charges baring reference: to the very
matters discassed in it-- 7 -tbat this letter was
read to Gen. Sec*, in part at least--its intend
ed transmission to the United States, for pOldic,
use, made known to him, and yet that the coM=
