National Intelligence. ' v Paris, Oct 27ih. From personal observation and inqui ry, and an examination of the provincial newspapers far and wide, I infer '.hat the wine crop of this year is about average in quantity, and superior in quality. Much of it will equal that of 1834 so good that the dealers pass off for it all that they now sell. The wheat crop is also an Average one,' notwithstanding the appre hensions of the common people of town and country, which prompted them to the recent corn-riots. The women were . the most forward party in the assaults : made upon the owners and transporters of grain and flour to the Paris market. 1 witnessed one of these scenes along the banks of the L ire, at Tours, arrd the Sex were there, as elsewhere, the chief assail ants.

The Central Govern raent has nothing to fear, politically, from any sedition, tumult, or conspiracy in the interior. The machinations and excite-1 ments at Paris are alone dangerous. . The capital is tranquil at this moment, I and the recent! capture of Rlan?ui, the I most active ana lormiaame among ine contrivers and leaders of the insurrection in May last, is an important advantage for the authorities ; but an incessant ubi- quitous vigilance of the police and the large military guard (which has been doubled since May) is absolutely required and duly exefcised for the preservation of the public peace.

' 4 - The negotiations between the French rand British Cabinets for a commercial .jreuj, or ratner a more uoerai cucujc oi tariff, are about to be resumed. One of the English Commissioners named is an able man Mr. Greoor, of Canadian memory. y It is not probable, that any im portant changes wilt be accomplished. A keen political arid commercial jealousy still prevails between the two Govern ments and counties. A clear perception, however, of common interest has united them entirely on the Spanish, Turkish, and Russian questions. A Bonaf)ariean journal, entitled Le Capitole. was established in this metropo lis last spring It has been edited with remarkable; vigor and hardihood, and furnishes curious historical and biogra phical documents from the portfolios of members or votaries of the family- It stieriuouslyj advocates the RuS3iaa alli ance for France, and would impress upon the world the ide that the Emperor Ni cholas wished the reinstatement of the Napoleon dynasty. I opine that no other living man is the subject of so much mis representation as t'ie Autocrat he Capi tole wages its fierce warfare upon the pre sent dynasty and administration of France by daily comparisons with the men, mea sures, influences, and occurrences under the Napoleon rule, as well as by positive criticism and inventive. You know that "Prince Napoleon Louis Bonaparte" recently put forth a pamphlet entitled Des Idets Napofenniennes, to concur with one part of the Capitole 's taetirs that of ex alting or canonizing the imperial .rule in all its features, purposes, and works. Sup posing this to be really the Prince's per formance, I: would give him credit for more capacity than he is generally ad mitted to possess. All that Napoleon coult. he scared to have conceived, suggest; ed, or achieved for the ben fit of France, is well digested and plausibly emblazoned in the pamphlet. Cheap editions of it in different forms have been printed in Pa ris, and industriously circulated through-; rtut France. j; God, only knows what may not happen here; for .myself, I can des cern rib solid ground tor the hope of a Bonapartean restoration. A few days ago I encountered, and with much plea-; sure, Achille Murat, who talks like, a loyal citizen i ot our Republic, and seeks information in order to account for the ir. neral aood It is believed that the present French Ministry will soon set in motion lines of steamboats from Havre and Bordeaux to the United States and South America, ' Three articles on Mr. Prescott's ad mirableHistorv of Fe rdinana and Isabel- la hare been prepared for the Journal dts Debats bv one of lU ablest contributors. : Apropos of "savages," Mr. Eugene A Vail, resident in Paris, has just sent from the press a handsome octavo vo I u me of 244 pages in French, being a view af the (Indians of North America, and comprising an elaborate defence of our country! from the common imputa- tinns as to the fate of the aborisiues.

BI9TOBICAL. Translated for tke Corsair from, the Cabinet i j Ae Lecture In the year 1540, a fisherman, having landed on the palace of St. Ma rk, crossed this celebrated place, and stopped before the doof of an inn, en which was very roughly painted a lien, emblematic o( Venice. The man was tall and athletic his dark complexion and brown hair had that warm colouring indicative of strength and intelligence, so peculiar to the inhabitants of southern countries; and thoughts of a most painful nature bowed dowrithe head of the noble gondolier. In entering the tavern, he perceived in the most obscure corner of the room a stranger who appeared buiied in a deep meditation. He, too; had one of those man ly and imposing Countenances, which de note moral energy. His expressive face reflected the flames of a thousand ardent passions.jand there was seen incontestib'le signs of the brilliant mission, which God had given him. His dress was simple in the extreme; a doublet and triiuk-hose of black velvet covered his muscular limbs; a silk cap sloped ! out over the temples. and withitwo bands lied under the chio according to the fashion of the times, part ly concealed a luxuri mt head of hair, the ringlets of which a little verging on the grey, fell negligently over his neck. " GianKtini I" sid the gondolier, ad dressing! a man with a broad chest and red 'face- who was walking about the ta vern, "do vou still persevere in your re fusal?'' i " j ; ; " 1 do I" answered the Venetian. ", I am too poor to be your son-in-law, am I not? Before you ccnsiderthe hap piness of our daughter, you think of her fortune! i Butto p-rsuade you, Gianettini, must I recal to your mind the debt of gratitude which is due to me? Have you forgotten that I saved your life at Lepanto, wheri all Venice, men and wo- i at i ' I I Linen, were armeu to:deend the KpuDiic against tne soiaers oi tsaroaross if uo you riot know, that reared with Maria, we swore rom our infancy neither of us should ever, .belong to another, and we renewed thisSathiwhen our age gave t our attachmPnt.nrore strength and solidity? do you w?ish to cause both her misery and mine? are you a Dodge to be so am bitious? are you a patrician to bst so un grateful?" " No, but I am lich, Barbarigo." " And I I shall) become so, Gianettini ; I have vigorous arms, an enterprising mind, courage, youth, andonfidence in God: fortune may. beforeIong, come and seat herself in rny gondola." . " A lunatic's dream !" said the tavern keeper i " Who knows !" replied the fisherman; " Laurent de Mediris was a shop keeper ; Francis Sforz i a cow-hrd. Why should I not become a general 1" M Because, for three men whom the Almighty favours, there are thousirds whom . he disdains, Barbarigo. One thing is certain, that I will never be the father-inrlaw oM man vhose only fortune is a bark with sails. It would be better for Maria- -" To be sold to a patrician, than to be the wife of ai. honest gondolier". You would rath r sleep in the lap of degraded opulence, than live obscurely,' but respect- edl" '! '. : . . J'. "Certainly.' Maria has attracted the attention ol the nephew of the provediior; this young lord paid me a visit, and of- ftred me To' marry her?" ' "Not exactly as popular as the Vene- nitian arristocracy aspires to become, they do hot make so free with their heraldry." " To purchase her, thenl" replied Bar barigo; most infamous! and would yop then, sell the honour oflyour daughter, Gianettini?" The stranger who had listened with much curiosity to the conversation of these two Venetians, rose from his seat, and laying his hand on the shoulder of Barbarigo. " Gondolier !V said he, " Ma ria shall be your wife!"; " Never!" i Sir Jew, if this man bring you 4;000 pistols for the marriage portion ?" " Oh ! then. Barbarigo should be rriy ton in-law, and I would sign the contract with a joyful hand; but reflect. Signnr, that this poor boy's only property are the four planks of his gondola, and that unless he obtains the ducal signet " " No such luck ; but 1 promise, you shall have that sum before night" 44 But where shall I take it from, Sig- no r ?" muttered the surprised izondolier. riot from the pocket of my doublet. mv brave fellow; for I am Hot much rich er than a lazaroni. There is so much misery lo. relieve bet ween Florence and Venice, that 1 should not find there an oboir! But be not afraid, my poverty is the lister of opulence, and my talent fills my purse with gold, as soon as my bene volence has emtied it." Whilst talking thus, the stranger open ed his portfolio ; he took out a parchment and spread it on the table ; in the space of a few minutes he drew a hand with such marvellous skill, that although per fectly ignorant of the art, the gondolier could not help uttering an exclamation of surprise. ; . " Here," said the unknown artist, giv-, ing to the fisherman the hasty drawing, "take this parchment to Pierre Bamho, who is now in the; palace of St. Mak; tell him tha a painter, (destitute of money, wishes 'o sell it for! 2,000 pistols." " 2,000 pistoles!" exclaimed the tivern- keeper, in the utmost surprise, "that man is crazy. 1 would not give a Zechtn for it In the course of an hour the gpndo lier returned with the price thu wa asked, to which. the secretary of L eo had joined a letter, requesting the artist in the warmest term3, to honour him1 with a visit. The next day Miria and Birbarigo were united in the church ot St. Stepha ho. ; !

IRON AND WOODEN STEAMERS. We find in the Boston Daily Adverti ser an estimate ot the advantages ot i iron compared vith wooden vessels as steam ers. Tnebalauce appears to be very de cidedly in favor of the first' named. An iron vessel is reckoned to cost l ss than one of wood by a difference of 15 or 20 percent. Itscapacity also is greater, the dimensions of both beingequal. An iron vessel of 430 tons would present about the samtf in ernal surface as a vessel of 500 tons built of wood. In point of du rability there tan be no question between the two kinoVof material. It was stated before the House of Commons that an iron vessel had been worked for 36 years, and that an iron steamer; had been ( con stantly employed for 16 years, and at the expiration of that time her. bottom was ex amined and found free from oxidation; the outer scales and rust had disappeared, leaving the surface perfectly smooth and clean. Safety from fire is another im portant consideration in favor of iron ves sels. The facility with which they may be preserved from sinking, strahffe as it may seem at first, is no less important in estimating their superior advantage3. The hold of an iron vessel may be easily and securely divided into compartments by means of iron bulkheads, so that it n lea If takes place in any one division, that part may De ill leu as ; nign as tne outer surface of the water, and the vessel bes'ill comparatively secure. An iion vessel is less exposed to danger from lightning ; for the whole material of which it is, com nosed serves as a conductor. Various other advantages air enumerated in j favor of iron boats They are less liable to ac cidents from grazing the bottom a wood en vessel's copper being easily loosened bv contact with rough substances. In .irikif upon rocks the bottom of an iron j vessel would no doubt be inueniurea anu hi-uUer! but it would stand shocks in j safety which would! break the ordinary planks of a wooden ship's bottom, j The superior buoyancy of iron vessels should not beomittea. vjrrauuai nHpr-jTem-ui have been going on for some years past in this particular, showing how unfound ed Was thetold notion that vessels of hea vy draught were safer as sea boats than those oflighter trim. Formerly )l wis thought necessary that a vessel of 300 tons should draw sevent-en or eighteen feet of water to enable her to hold a godd wind and make her safe in a sea , way At present the American packet ships of 700 or 800 tons seldom draw, when in their best trim, more than thirteen feet of water. I ! : The facts are entitled to serious notice If they are well established, and they all appear to be founded upon observation unf .Ynrience. the imDrovemenls! which must follow from their general applica tion to oractice will be of such a char acter as to change very essentially the ait and manner of sbip-cuilding.

The comparatively smair sum ol twenty-three millions, due by M issachusett.8, Kentucky, and Maryland. In every olher State the Van Buren party has generally had full control, and during the entire term of ten years has by means of its ascendancy in one or the other branch of the Legislature; Of each Slate, possessed ample power to defeat any loan. Take New York Here alone is a debt of near 23 millions, incurred by a State where Jackson Van Burenism held undisputed sway for many years The whole stale government was in its interest. Nor was that interest sha ken, till the session of 1838, when the House of Assembly exhibited a Whig ma jority. Be it remembered that the Sen ate and Governor were still attached to Van Burt nism, and tha tnot till next Jan'y will the Whigs have full possession of the reins of government." At any moment from the first ascendancy of Jucksonism to the close of the last session of the New York Legislature, the Van Buren party had it in their power to defeat a loan on State account. Pennsylvania twenty seven mil lions and UPWARDS Democratic Pennsylvania 1 None! will be bold enough to affirm that the Whigs were the authors of this tremendous debt. In 1828 Pennsylvania gave Gen Jackson 50 thousand majority over Mr Adams.- In 1832 she gave the Hero 27 thousand majority, in 1836 she gave Mr. Van Bu ret upwards of four thousand majority. In 1837 she gave a Van Buren majority of nine thousand Another of eieht thou sand in 1838 arid at least 16,000 in 18 39.

The name of Henry Clay is the only name that speaks to the heart ef thu'T Whig. Assemble together the Whigs of the remotest and most secluded spot in the Union, and you will find that there is not one whose enthusiasm will not vent itself in the loud shout of approval and pride when the name of Henry Clay is men tioned.

Is any man in the na lion his equal, in experience, in faithful ress, in devotion to the Republic inall embracing public spirit, and in inappreci able services?. Not one. Not one. It is vain to compare any of the times with him in all these respects.- All defer to him. All concede to him the highest claims the most eminent fitness. With him as their candidate, the Whig party most go on to strengthen in confidence. zeal and self respeft. It will tower above the adversary party as much in the moral dignity of its leader as in the superior pu- nty and brightness ol us principles and us aims. If, with such a champion to guide in its struggles, it cannot commsnd success, it will, we are assured, vield to the destiny that pronounces its overthrow. with a proud consciousness that it has not faltered in obeying the allegiance which it has ever professed . to the immutable principles of truib and patriotism.
