Immediately after tiic termination of the insurrection, I told you that, from the host information I could obtain, the number of killed nnd wounded amounted to between 10,000 and 20,000 : and siir.e that t:me I have given you some accounts, placing it a little more than three thousand, from sources that ought to he quite responsible. The Constitution, of to-day, discusses the subject in lull; and says that the numbers are not, and never will be, accurately known ; that in the revolution of July. IS !0. the fighting continued but two days, was limited to a comparatively small portion of the city,and yet the numler of killed and wounded, as ascertained, amounted to seven thousand; and that from the faots already known, the great surface of the city where the fighting took place, its duration of four days, and its great ferocity, they regard 10.000 a low estimate. In | this opinion I concur; and why the French are so anxious to diminish the number of the insurgents, ] and of the killed and wounded, is not apparent. What folly to talk about 40.000 insurgents, when there wore i more than 200.000. men and women; all Paris, east of ( Rue Montmartre. Palais Royal, and the Luxembourg, \ and most of the Ranlieux, were insurgents, and this t embraces one half of the city?i f the population, I j mean. Then, as to the killed and wounded' then. < were m< re than a hundred regular pitched battles, t terminated generally by the bayonet. The 48th regi- | ment of the line, out of ninetoen officers, had fourteen | killed and horrib y wounded; most of them kilted on the spot. One battalion had more than one half of its j ! number killed; and u National Guard told me of anotl er that had but one hundred men unhurt, out of teven hundred who commenced the fight. There were nearer fire hundred thousand men, including those that came from the country, engaged during the lour days, at different period, in guarding the city, < ' and flzhtlng each other. The numbers, duration. f f. rocity. space, rapidity of movement, uninterrupted- , uess? all were far different now than in 18i!0. Now " both sides were well prepared with arms and amtnuni- I tl tion; then only one tide had arms at the commence- I r ment. Certainly I should be glad to believe that the i numbers were as small as some now represent them; ; * but I have given you my impress ons. and still have 0 no doubt about their correctness. A very intelli- j gent French gentlemnn. with whom I am intimate, j w two days ago assured me that no more than 400 had ; tl been killed, and 000 or 700 wounded. 1 hud been just e reading the remarks of the President of the Assembly, in which he informed the Assembly that 1500 then re- j ? iriaiutd in certain hospitals, which he named and had | e visited. M. Dance, another representative, died of his ' c wounds yesterday. A gieat proportion of the balls 1 f used by the insurgents were not round. They were I ? tud. some of them in holes, some in one thing, and 1 tl some in another, and they made had wounds. A great | j uinnv wounos prove 10 du mortal, that at first were (j not thought to be so. Twelve generals wtre cut down p in the field; some of them mortally won dod all the {j rest badly, If one more does not prove to be mortally, g, Only one' general, in command, I believe,1^escaped, Ue- w neral I,unit>reci<re. There is no record of such a slaughter among the officer. in the history of France. r< It equals that of our own brave heroes at Buena Vista. tl where, I believe, about one quarter of all the officers in g the army fell, killed or wounded. I refer to this with j fomo additional attention, because facta are interesting; and I do not intend to mislead anyone, nor to permit n others to create the impression that things are spoken b without sufficient consideration or knowledge. There t) are those whose opportunities forjudging are better than my own. because they lived in the part of the eity .A where the fighting took place, who estimate the num- tl her of killed, wounded, prisoners, and missing at 00.000, and that the killed and wounded constitute the major p part. I do not believe it ; others estimate those ac- ri tually shot by the government, not in battles, at 3 000 a to 4000 ; that I do not believe; but I shall never know, p ?irobably: nor will any one else, Nothing Is said about r t; and the government bas substantially denied that c it has so shot any numlier. On the afternoon of the p 15tb of May. a captain of an Knglish ship of war met B me. and said there had been a tight on the bridge, and t the insurgents had disarmed tjie guard As I had D stood by. and saw the whole afTair. and knew, there- t fore, that it was not a fact. I asked him if it took c place in his presence, and if he knew it to lie a fact, i both of which he answered in the affirmative, positively. v OBSERVER. c Paims, July 19,1&48. Emcute in tin National Assembly?Guards Mo- [, bile?Austria?7he Vicar and his Ministers? I Hun^ai-y and Bohemia. I Yesterday the National Assembly conducted with r s much violence as do sometimes the House of J epresentatives in the United States: and to-day t e press does not spare them It was a fight pre- J tinory to the election of a President to-day. c Crosse, one of the Vice Presidents, has been *?cted by the Thiers party, and Marrast for the p ?'jr party. At this hourthe result is not known. ? ? do not understand the importance of theelec- [ ? tion, except as a mere expression of opinion?and * pretty indefinite in that?for the President never ap- d points committees ; they are always chosen by the As- i eembly. or drawn by lot c The Guard Mobile has immortalized itself. The o public admiration for its conduct grows stronger and I stronger Composed as it is of young lads, generally h from 16 to 22 years old?more generally from 17 to 19? 1 It was not er that they would take the front of 11 the battle ; t tbey did Those decorated with the Cross of Honor are from 16 to 23. andalready they have been scattered in pictures containing their profiles to ' ' the four corners of the world. General Cavaignac has [ adopted the youngest of them, a lad of 15. He thinks | that the General saw him fight, whilst looking out of a , window, but he says he did not know it when he wag fighting. These Guards are to be sent a little way out of the city for the present; for the insurgents shoot ! one, whenever they can get an opportunity, day or , t night. There was no limit to the bravery of these boys. Ono of these lads, who rushed In among the ' insutgents, and brought off their flag, fell just as he i returned to his company. They took him up, sup- ' posing be was dead. He said " No; I am not hurt, bnt I could not help falling " Rut he was still holding on to his flag. From such materials, another Napoleon would make his Marshals. The Archduke John has been received with great ' . consideration, at Frankfort; and has issued an address to the German people, full of good sense and feeling. It is raid that Bavaria, and the King of Prussia, are inclining to ad' pt the ground assumed by Hanover ; l but this would come with an ill grace from him, who was a candidate for the Vicarage. The Vicar has appointed one minister from Austria, one from Prussia, , and the other from Bavaria, I think There is another Assembly at Perth, the capital of Hungary, which is th( first of the kind, I believe, since the world was made. Hungary Is a strong power, and although nominally under the Kmperor of Austria, it is but nominal. Hungary can bring 200,000 troops into the field upon short notice ; although there are some agitations and divisions, which at this moment weaken her power. She Is friendly with Austria and the Kmperor. In that part of the world where the territories of Russia.

This Is not the recommendation of a solitary press; it is followed up and pursued, and repeated, and a commission bas been engaged in taking voluminous testimony upon this point.

Paris, July 20, ISM Tableaux Vivans in Paris. 1 have seen some discussion in the American papers upon the subject of "tableaux vivans,"' exhibiting in New York. \\re have had them here in the purity and perfection of nature?fourteen or fifteen young girls, froin fifteen to twenty years old, two or three young men, und three negroes, have Un. ?;? ?]| _i :.i 1 : i wv? vjnuukiiig in an 111c uiiaiiiia wim which nature lias clothed them, without any ol tlie drapery of art. The police wore informed of these exhibition,', entered while the exhibition was proceeding, and after it bad finished,arrested the managers and the'-tableaux vivans" themselves. Upon their trial, the managers were called upon to explain what part of the divine art of painting, poetry,or sculpture, they elucidated in these representations; and ho responded, giving his explanations of the offices fulfilled by each of these representations, either singly or in groups?their histories, character. fkc. Sic.; and by theseexplanations, and the testimony of the girls, it appeared that several of these females had thus been employed since they were four, five and six years old ; but after a full hearing, the court fined the managers 100 franca eavh; some of the older " tableaux vivans" 16 francs each, and the younger ones they discharged on account of their youth. I believe these figures were generally from Italy; where I think the munners of society are a little freer than even in Paris ; and where young ladies, in imitation of Pauline, sit hours and days for young gentlemen to take their full length portraits; and where those who have good figures receive their daily pay for so doing?not exceeding a franc or two?such is the I price which modesty pays for the developement of the fine arts and personal vanity. I appreciate the value 1 of paintings as highly as any one; but it seems to me | that too great u price may be paid for them?or for I ' tableaux vivans." The latter is a little beyond the manners of Paris, where ideas are quite free, and the taste for the fine arts will be gratified at almost any expense. Here they exhibit in statuary and paintings man and woman as they exist; but tbey do not admit the public representation of living nature, in that j form. The French taste is accustomed to these exhibitions frrni their infancy?tbey look upon them as upon marble, and with the same indifference?there is no shock, no thought, no recoil from the image created. | Such is public mind; and yet when taste has been so i long and so thoroughly cultivated, and has learned to I look only at the excellence of the picture, that taste will rot admit the living original. With us it is very dilTcrent. and what we have lost in a cultivated public , taste for the fine arts, we have gained in the delicacy of sentiment among society, andespecially female society. The public mind in America is not prepared for the exhibition of the French paintings and statuary, without at first recoiling from its exhibition. These things are worthy of note among a people who yet hare this question to settle, before the admission generally into our country of those works of art. which exist so generally in many parts of K.urope. I feel that if there ; is much to gain in one respeet. there is muoh to lose in another. We do not understand the condition of i the society of foreign countries any more than thev do ours, and when we undertake to introduce their manners too suddenly into our country, we make a great mistake, and do violence to a well ordered public sentiment. OBSERVER. Parib, July 20, 1848. Election of President of the Assembly?Parties? Proudhom ami his Doctrines. My letters will be again deposited to-day for the mail. Yesterduy Arinand Marrast was chosen i President of the Assembly upon the second ballot. His vote waB 411 to 334 for La Crosse, and 20 for M. Bac. The first vote was 386 for Marrast, 341 for La Crosse, 84 for Bac. La Crosse was the candidate of the Thiers party; Bac of the extreme radicals; Marrast of the administration; yet I do not consider Thiers in opposition to the administration by any means; though he is not in its counsels, nor are his particular friends in the cabinet, yet he and his friends have great strength in an Assembly so nearly divided, and in which they have an advantage in experience and talent developed. The socialists, as a body, appear to have diminished in power and numbers very much, since the affairs of May and J June, and Proudhom alone seems to stand forward to advocate their doctrines. The sentiments of this man. put forward in argument before the committee l upon his motion, to seize one-third of all the incomes | of individuals in France, and appropriate one-sixth to ' the State, and one-sixth to the poor, are startling, to i use no stronger term.

That Kussia has entered the Danubian territory ! with a stronir force, and a hostile uiirnnae there is I no doubt. There have been many und some con- ) Hiding statements, but I regard the question as ; settled upon both points, and it has occasioned a j general uneasiness throughout Europe. That France will act upon this contingency, is more than probable : depending, of course, upon what ; she ascertains to be the sentiment of the eight to ! welve millions of people whose territory has been in- | titled, and perlinps the sentiments of the German States. This Russian movement will be felt, perhaps, as severely on the Rhine as ou the Seine ; and how far j England will acquiesce in it, will depend upon her j prospects for a division of the benefits. This act of | Russia endangers the peace of Europe; it may bring : on a European war. Europe will not aee Russia at- 1 tempting to extend her dominions, and to crush smaller states, without interfering. While her power is comprehended and respected, France does not fear Russia, in the present state of publio sentiment in Europe. With Germany, France will not hesitate to encounter Russia ; but France will not tight Russia, if it can be avoided, with Germany host l?, or even neutral. that is. unless Russia should directly invade her rights. At Constantinople, the Russian influence has prevented the ambassador of the Flench republic, frnui being recognised ; and Franca will have no objection to interfering with the projects of Russia upon the , Danube, from various considerations. The attention of Europe will be directed to that point, for the present; and active measures will be adopted to check the prog"t?s of Nicholas at this point. But he Is in condition, while Europe has yet to prepare. The latest news from Calabria, does not tend to confirm the extent of their success over the troops of Ferdinand, whioh was, at first. | represented?it leaves the issue doubtful ; and the , proceedings not very important. Neither is there j any authentic account froui Charles Albert, of much importance, beyond the fact that he is making large preparations to attack Verona, lie has lost so much time and publis confidence, that I consider his success greatly endangered, and his ultimate defeat not improbable. Vet all is, : t present, uncertainty; and the mails are expected dally to bring important intelligence frou the field of battle. The civil war is progressing moderately in Spain. The government shoot all they can catch; and the other party, we have the authority of the Flnglieh press for saying, will do the same; but we do not need any authority to inform us that the Spaniards will shoot each other in their civil wars, as do the Indians and all parage tiibes. I hey seoin to act an If llieir race was not running out fast enough, and needed the aid of the musket to hapten the measure. This is a mere war among chiefs in Spain, which involves no principle, except who shall hnve the privilege of living out of the public treasury: and whether Lord I'almerston shall be gratified in overthrowing the existing administration for sending away his minister, and refusing his advice?and in the present posture of Kuropoan affairs, therefore, is quite unimportant, except to those who lose or win where heads are the stakes. Lord i'almerston will not go there himself, and, therefore, his head is not in danger?from the Spanish at least-and there is more to apprehend from the Knglish chartists than from the Spanish. The committees of the assembly are engaged in discussing the measuri s to be applied to the clubs and the press; although the question is still open, there will be some stringent law applied to both. The design will he to have it temporary, but the strong arm will be relied upon at present to govern France. The public mind demands it. and is prepared for it, and this regime will be much more quiet and respectable than civil war. I think all merchants doing business with France may safely act upon the supposition that order will be maintained, and quiet preserved, while General C. is at the head of the state. OBNF.RVF.K.

There has never been a tune when the politicians rf the eapital city were so filled with perplexity and embarrassment, as at present.

Standing aloof from all connexion with either faction, I occupy an eminence, from which can he viewed with the utmost impartiality, the character, course, inten- j tions, and proceedings of nil the various political | hacks, who assume to dictate, and leud the masses. I discover that portion of the democratic party who support Cass and Butler, gliding quietly ajong, without suffering themselves to become excited with the free soil humbug, the all absorbing topic of discord, and the only disturbing element in the coiningci>nt"st. When accosted, they only | exclaim?Arnold, Burr, and Van Buren?"/?ir I nubile fratrum" They view wi th stoic fortitude the Kilkenny light between the barnburners and j abolitionists, and appear perfectly indifferent whether the black voters unite upon Giddings, Fred. Douglass, or Van Buren. They see that New York is iost to Cass, and are, therefore, prepared to yield the electoral vote of the State to either Taylor, McLean, or anybody else. The Cass democrats are the only quiet and peaceable politicians in the city, and do not intern! to resort to any exertions to obtain the State. The last letter from General Taylor lias given no satisfaction that he is any more whig than lie was when wiiting to Sken Smith, Birkey, Dr. ( lurke, Delony, W. G. Wood, Col Mitchell, or the B ichmond Republican. The whig* i nagined that lie would declure himself an ultra in his reply to Governor Moreheud ; but their disappointment is so great, that measures have been taken to un.te wiih the wliigs of New England, < Ihio, See , and present a force so formidable at Buffalo, as to nominate Judge McLean. Should this be effected, it is freely acknowledged here, that the Judge would carty the largest vote of any other candidate in the Eastern States, in Ohio, and in New Yoik. lie is claimed as an orthodox whig, as an original free soil man, and as a consistent abolitionist of long standing, lie has no revenge to grainy?no rival 10 neieat, anil no uinmtinti unatlaineil. He has never been under a " load of liav," 1 nor had an im|>crtinent son, rambling to and fro, lor tour years, preaching treason to the people. The , ipdgt will come before the electors with clean hands, and with principled uniform and consistent, ills friends will not ask votes from a class of I people whom he lias constantly abused for thirty years, nor usk them to abandon party ends for his f own personal gratification. He has no " heir ap- I parent'' to whom he wishes to bequeath (patro- ! nage and power. The whole country know Judge | M'Lean's principles?he has never disguised them?never been accused of hemp a "dough j face"?a man wiih one set of principles for the j North, another for the South. Hut he has always | stood firm and unmoved in the faith which lie pro- : fessed, without any variableness, or even a shadow of turning. If the free Sail Convention, which will soon assemble at Buliulo, desire a leader nos- i sessing honesty, capacity and integrity?if tney i desire a representative of their principles?if they desire a man for a candidate who never yet uttered an untruth or deceived a friend?then will j the upright, righteous, and undeviating Judge | M'Lean receive such nomination. A meeting ot the whigs who still adhere to prin- ' i ciple is called for to-morrow evening. The call is ; made by si?ch staunch men as James Kidd, Tunis Van Vrchten, John 1J. Livingston, Judge William Parmilee, Thomas B. Bidder, Arc., A'c. Invitations have been sent to Culver,Greeley, Giddings. Webster. Governor liriggs and several others; and they will all be pRML miller in person or by , letter. The Hon. John J. Slingerlnnd, member of Congress from the Albany district, has already responded in favor of the object, and is e ipeetea ! also to be present. His firm and manly adherence to the principles of his party will produce a greater 1 eflect upon the masses than the example of any other man in the county. His iwiiuilartty with his , country constituents is unbounded, and by re- i ( maining unseduced by Thurlow Weed, and no party Tay'orism, lie secures a triumphant re- j election to Congress. The meeting I speak of will give a tone and direction to the Buffalo Convention, which will be heard and respected.

On Friday night, between 11 and 12 o'clock, the premises No 73 Nassau-stroet wsr t discovered to bo on lire. The room where the flame were blazing is occupied by Mesriia. I.apyre and Ladvers, publishers and printers of the Rco de Europe et lee Urns- Monde>. The rooms above these offloes are occupied by Mr. George Ilayward lithographer ; and in a room directly over the tire was sleeping John Major, a lithographic printer, and his two sons, both small boys, who were all ai-leep until awakened by th* alarm of tire, when, endeavouring to make their escape, and flying to the entry, found it impracticable, as the don?e smoke rendered it impossible to get down stairs. The firemen came promptly, and soon extinguished the Are; not, however, until the whole of the papers and valuable correspondence wsre * consumed, and a large bole burnt in the ceiling. From ^ the appearance of the tire, it was considered at the time to be the work of some incendiary, as Are was communicated in two distinst places; and only for ths timely arrival of the Uretnen. in all probability Mr. Mitjor and liia two sons would have perished in the flames. The most singular part of the story is yet to relate. Between 2 and 3 o'clook the same night, as officers Owens and Cnrland. of ths Oth ward police, were on duty, in the Park, near the fountain, they observed a young mun sitting on one of the tenches, in rather a peculiar manner; and on a further examination they found that he was sitting on a bundle of something which looked like clothing, and on opening the same, several coats and other articles of weiring ap perel were found, lie was at once taken into custody, and informed that be was arrested on a charge of stealing the above articles. On his way to the station house, he informed the officers that he wanted to be arrested. und for that purpose he had stolen the clothing from No 73 Nassau street, and fearing that would not be sufficient to hold him. he set tire to the house to mske sure?explaining the manner, aud how he communicated tlie fire, to the officers, before they knew of the Are hiving taken place. On the prisoner's feet was a pair of slippers, belonging to Mr. I.advere. the prisoner having taken off his heavy boots, and put on the slippers because, as lie said, they were much cooler All these statements, the officers found to be exactly correct upon visiting the burnt premises. The prisoner Is a small. slim, young man, of twenty-two yeari, and a Scotchman by birth, giving his name as William c9|io*rn. niiu saiu ue omy arrived ir?m Ulasgow about four weeks since. lie further said ha hud a father, residing in loth street, who was engaged as porter in a store No. 4 William street, hut did uot treat him well, as ha would not let him remain at homo beeausa he did not work and feeling himself destitute, committed the crime in order to be tukon care of.

Noble, ona charge of obtaining a gold lever watch, valued at $200, the property of Mr. Oeorge C. Baldwin, jeweller, No. 170 Broadway, by a trick and device, under the following cireums'ances. according to the affidavits. It appears that the accused called upon Mr Baldwin on the 27Ih of last month, and represeated that his mothor wished to purchase a watch, and selected the abovementioned watch as one he thought would suit her, and wished them to let him take the watch up to show his mother; and if she did not like it, he would return it agsin at 0 o'clock tho next morning. Upon this condition, Mr Baldwin allowed him to take the watoh.? However. 0 o'clock arrived.and no watch came baok. The next day Mr. Baldwin saw Mr. Noble, who stated that his mother said the watch did not exactly suit her. and that he would bring it down the next day.? Well, the next day rams, and no watch, and then twu more days passed over, when Mr Noble was seen again, who then gave as a reason for not bringing the watoh, that his wife had gone to Philadelphia, and by mistake took the watch with her, but faithfully promired that he would send it back on the third of August This story, likewise, proved false; when Mr. Baldwin, finding that Mr. Noble was practising a deception upon him. applied to the chief of police, and Mr. Bowyer was deputed to unravel the mystery, which he did, by ascertaining that on the 27th of July, the day he obtained tho watch from Mr. Baldwin, he employed a Mr. Richard J. I'arisen, residing at No. 20.', Madison street, to take the watch to Mr. Simpson's pawn-shop and obtain $2o on the same, which no did, bringing the money to Mr. Noble, who was waiting nt T ammany Hail until the job was done.
