Paris, August IS, 18-VJ.?Yesterday was consummated, by a decree published in the official jouriud, one of the most ex- ' traordinary acts which have yet marked the roign of Napoleon III. All offenders ' condemned for political crimes, of whatever nature, Are uncon Utionully pardoned, and if they so choose, may immediately return to France. This amnesty will include in its operation such men as Lndru i Rollin, Louis Blanc, Victor Hugo, ami indeed, nil the other implacable enemies of j the Emperor, so long banished from Franco, i Not only aro the adversaries ?>f the Napo- j leonio dynasty permitted otico more to j return to their native shores, but all who j have participated in conspiracy against the Kinporor'fl life are also unconditionally pardoned. Thus, Simon Bernard, condemned par rrmfitmacr, for alleged con neotion with the attempt of Orsini, Fieri, and Rudyo, in January last year, need entertain no further foar of French tribunals, nor French gen d'armes, and is free* to fabricate another batch of hand grenades, within sight of the Tuillcries. The importance of this decree can scarcely be overrated. It removes summarily the argument agains tthe present regime, that the government now in power could not exist by banishing the ablest and consequently most dangerous of its opponents. It proves that the Fuipgror believes his , -i i? i- ?... i ' wj iiii.nj w ihj mu 111 miy suiiiuu uj.'Dll IMC , throno, and too popular with the great nuv- | jnrityof the people, to have anything to 1 dread from according the largest liberty to I it:* bitterest foes. This act of unconditional antl unexpected clemency is certainly a piece of profound policy, and can scarcely tail to convert many of Napoleon's enemies ito his friends; or, it at least half disarms their resentment, and lays them under a / -I.ki .r 1 . < 1 < uuutui yniuuiuu 10 u niiin ironi wiioin tney had no reason to anticipate the slightest favor. After the procession of the 14th, the troops returned again to the camp of St. Mnur, preparatory to their general scpara- , tion. The movement commenced yesterday, with tlie departure of the Imperial | (iuard. each regiment of which started for the different barracks in Paris and its vicinity The 1st (irenndiors went to St. Cloud, the 2d to ltueil, the 3d to Fontaibcblcau, the voltigcura to various quarters in Paris, the Zouaves to Versailles, the lancers to Compiegne, the dragoons to Mcaui, &c., itc., all in or near the capital. The Parisians will not be sorry, 1 pre suine, wncn me troops snail nave entirely dispersed, and the camp of St. Maur he finally broken up. A large portion of the throng of provincials and strangers yet lingers in our midst, as if fascinated by the presence of the Army of Italy, and unable to get away whilst a vestige of the camp remains to visit and explore, it might have been imagined that curiosity had been j completely satisfied in the fortnight prece- j ding the day of ovation, and on that memo- ; rablo day itself. Jiut the pilgrimago to | St. Maur continues, and will not probably J AI>tl9A until Mif* lilriin lnfolv nfwr*vrn\ \wr un I - I "V "J >? I ninny thousands of sun-burned licroos shall bo silent and deserted. Meantime the soldiers who excited the most attention are the Arab riflemen or Turcos. They have I never before visited the cnpitol, and the Parisians themselves stare at them <|nite foreigners. For u moment, the glory of tl?o famous Zouaves is parti.'ly eclipsed by their swarthy riva's. Tho dress of both is almost identical, except in color and a few minor details. IJut the looks of the men arc quite dissimilar. Despite I lie Oriental costume, broad turban, slashed jackets, and Turkish trowsers of the Zouaves much of the romance attaching to them is spoiled by fhefaet that they are Frenchmen. The Algcrincs have all the characteristics of their nativo clime, and in looking upon simple forms and indolent and graceful movements, the spectator feels that these are the genuine children of the desert where prowls the lion. Nor is the I mm seen 111 nil fiis native originality, until lie Ihih removed liin turban, exposing u head which vividly reminds us Americans of our own Western ??vages. These Arabs shave eloso nearly the entire surface f the cranium, leaving only upon the summit a single tuft, which we or!) the "scalp Jack," and they the. "Mahomet." The motive, however, which induces them to preserve this tuft of hair is not that of the American Indian. Tho Turcos attach to their " Mahomet" a religious, or perhaps ! f should say, superstitions importance. It ' is consecrated to their pronhet, and at their I Ueulb tbey believe be will acizc them by I their lock of Imir nnd drag tlioiii into the celestial regions. The Christian French iirc vorv much amused nt the creed of their Arab brethren. " The Tureos pity us very much," remarked n grim visage grenadier, with a significant shrug. "As we Christians wear our hair cut short, they tell us the prophet can only catch us by the car; and as lie won't he able to carry us very easily in that way, wo stand a mighty slim | ehancc of being saved!" The Kmporor, Km press, and Imperial Prince left Paris last evening, for Saint | Sauveur, a watering place in the south ot | Franco, which their majesties have not hitherto visited. They are to remain there and take the baths during three weeks.? Tho Imperial party is to occupy several houses at the extremity of the village, which have been furnished from the chateau at Pau. Sixty foot-soldiers and ten ' *._t ^1* it . I \ * . . I iiiounii-u men, ur inc nuara, arc to at- ; tend tin: Emperor ami Empress at St. Sail-1 veur. Tho imperial visit will doubtless j make the fu'ure fortune of tliis bitlierto comparatively unknown placc of summer resort, on tbc frontiers of Spain, tbo native country of the Empress Eugenie. An important decree, scarcely less iui- ' portant in character than the one above ' mentioned, is officially published in the Moniteur Universal, of this morning. All the warnings given to tho newspapers and periodicals of Franco and the colonics since the decree of February 17tl>, 18f>2, arc declared null and void. Tho press is thus enabled at once to commence, as it were, anew. Three warnings are followed by suspension or suppression. Jinny journals had already received two. 1 predict that this is but a preliminary step to the removal of every restriction on the press, and that the day is not far distant when all shades of political opinion will be allowed I n v; i .\|HinoiiMi in i l.ilicr, lift III LIIU I IIIU'U | States, Croat Britain, Belgium, and Sar- i dinia.

The Mouitcur of J Sunday explained the non-participation of i I'rinec Napoleon's corps d'a mice in the tri- : umphant entry of the Army of Italy, by I the announcement that the Emperor had ' " decided t*> maintain, momentarily, an ar- j | my of 1.fty thousand men in Lombardy," J I nr wmcn l rincc ^apoieon s corps (uic j fifth) is to forma part. I now learn that j military storehouses ami other buildings, for the use of the French army, h'nvo been j rented in (Jenoa for two years. There nwy be some meaning in this which will develope itself in the course of time. It. is ex- j ported that the fifth corps, uul one division I of each of the others, now in Ijcmbardy > and Sardinia, will rctdiru to France about j the same time as the French army of occupation in Rome !

In other words, such as was not franked in the hand-writing of the person entitled to the franking privilege.? In this ho has been sustained by the l'ostniaster ticnoral, who does not admit the right of a member of Congress to authorize the use of his name by another for the purpose of franking.

That the public will stand by Postmaster 'Jencral | Ilolt in this matter, there can be no doubt, j since that it should be known, that during i a session of Congress, hundreds of peri sons are engaged here in this species of 1 counterfeiting. Nor do they scruple to I frank their own private letters as well as | those of their friends. The evil conse| <|uei. *e does not nlono end with a violation j of law. The object of the establishment I of mail faculties (for which business men pay postages) is often in whole or part defeated through tho delays in transit occasioned by the overwhelming mass of Lun\comhc matter sent from this city by the mails. | " The existence of the franking privilege acts injuriously in another way, which is, Mint hi) long as private and partisan electioneering can ho carried on at the people's expense through the monopolizing, at times, j of the mails, so long will legitimate Con| gressional business be set aside for making i buncombe speeches and for, what is worse, the printing of them." - A Mother's Gkave.?Karth has sonio sacred spots, where we feel like losing the shoes from our feet: and treading with reveicnce; I where common words of social converse <eem ' m.wIA i >i~ i ?!

AN IM'lJ>KNT OF COMMODOItK STKWAUT'S AT.OKHIN K KXPKHI KNCfc. The United States' ship of-war Ooustel j lntion was anchored in tlio harbor of Algiers, whither she hud proceeded under command of Commodore Preble, having on hoard, among other officers, Charles Stewart, then an Acting Lieutenant. I 1 ? -1- C tl. ' . * ii \v;i? mi: wiiu'ii ui young mcwari, nnu lie was parading to and fro on the dock, about half an hour after sunset, when he saw a small boat, containing n .single person, coming off from the Old Port, as the wontem part of the town is so called, and heading directly for the ship. This person was rowing with all his might, and Stewart was not long in discovering the .cause. Close behind tho single boatman was seen a large rover filled with men, whose presence was announced by a continued tiring at him of whom they were in snob determined pursuit, holding on their j Way until they were under the very guns of < the ship. " Now, by my soul !" cried Stewart, j " may 1 be shot if 1 don't teach those fel- | lows a lesson. Stand bv. Mr. Ropers." i he ndilcil, addressing n favorite gunner, I " to Mtrow a little grape into tliat fellow." j An instant later a wreath of smoke curled 1 up from the side of the ship, and as the j report went booming over the water the | iron messenger spoil on its way, crashing j into the pursuing boat, severely wounding ; two or three of her crow. She instantly \ turned to put back, nt the same time that j the fugitive reached his destination, and came up the side, into the presence of the j ollicer of the deck. lie was an elderly ; man, with a stout frame and brownish features; but it required but a single glance from the lieutenant to see that ho was English or American. As soon as he was sufficiently recover d from his over-exertion to breathe, he. weot on to tell his story, to j which Stewart listened with much excite- : ment. The new comrr was an American citizen, , named James Collins, a native ot' New! York, who, with his wife and daughter, i had been taken from an American vessel ! at the same time as,its commander and crew, two years before, by Algorioe pirates. His wife had since died, and ho and his daughter had been enduring since hi* capture all the horrors of a hopeless and aggravated captivity; but the worst part of tho poor man's story, and that which moved Lieutenant Stewart the most, was the announcement that his daughter, a gentle and beau -t?l girl, was on t.ho eve of bring forced into :i detestable union with the very wretch who hail bought her ami her lather as slaves. " My agony at tliesc circumstances culminated not two hours ago," finished tho father, " when I struck the persecutor insnnsihlc to my feet and fled. 15y dint of exertion I managed to reach the water side, and embarked before flu* nnranors enulrl prevent it. Hut though ' have succeeded in reaching this place of safety, my poor Alice is still in the power of the tormentor, exposed to his vengeance; and 1 am almost crazy at thinking that she may even now be subjected to a fate worse than death. If I could only guide a boat's crov, under your orders " " One moment," interrupted Stewart. " Stay where you are until 1 have seen Coin todorc Preble." One moment the young lieutenant was engaged with his commander in the enbin, and then ho came forth with a stern smile | of satisfaction on his features. Ten minutes more had not passed before a cutter with twelve ehoseu men pushed ofl' in the darkness, with the lieutenant and the stranger in the stern, and rapidly struck J out for the shore. "Our owner," said Mr. Collins, "resides in the western part of the city. There is a coast guard established, but I do not apprehend that we shnll have any especial trouble from that source. I think wo can land below, go up the streets to the house, and carry off my child, and all without losing a man." 'IM.?

The arrival was certainly observed, but not a great deal of attention was bestowed upon it by the stupid Algerines. Leaving part of his men in tho cutter, with orders for them to lie down ander the wharf, Lieut. Sfr?\V:irt. nml tltn rnmo!l?*o lowed the footsteps of Mr. Collins, who led the way rapidly up the intervening streets. On arriving at his Into prison, an old, dingy looking structure, extremely spacious, having nil the looseness of the Moorish style, the party discovered that sileuco and darkness were the principal features of the scene. Not a sound was henrd nor a word uttered. The whole building seemed ,1^ * ..1 mi.i r.t * . i ul-.-jci ilu. j no iigony 01 me iatnor wan extrcino. 41 (), my child I my child !" he oriod, 110 longer ablo to control the terrible emotions which had been surging through his soul during the lust 'hour, "shall I never ?cc tin j more A Moorish slave came nrotind from the ronr of the building, and assured his fellow captive that the girl had been carried off by the master, and that no one was at borne save himself.

" My child, my Alicc!" oxolaimcd Mr. Collins. " Savfi mo, father!" was tho response, and while shout." and groans were heard proceeding from the interior <>t the building, the maiden throw herself from the low window, falling into the very arms of her fiithor and Ijieut. Stewart. The very moment of this reunion was | destined to be that in which a company of j Algerine troops came round the nearest corner, manning up the street in the direction of Lieutenant Stewart and his men. ' It was also at the same moment that the I old Moor, who had so long considered him- ! self the proprietor of .Mr. Collins and his , daughter, came to the window and set up j a startling yell. iiTUiu' i" .1 at.. r< 11:.... 1 i._ i 11ir> \>?iy . uiii'ii .mi. \ uiiiii.**, <11111 m* dashed open the front door of the building, ! and conducted the entire party within.? " Look to your weapons, and take the rascals olT their pins the instant they halt," i said Stewart. A sharp and determined struggle soon commenced, in the course of which half the Moorish soldiers wero killed, and the remainder finally gave way. But the rescuers had expended all their ammunition, and only a single bullet was remaining ; that was in a largo horse pistol in the pos session of Lieutenant Stewart. Jin was j just wondering what ho should do with it. I when the old Moor cauic down stairs wi'li : a huge sabre in his grasp, and tnado a furi- | ous dasli at Mr. Collins and his daughter, | with murder written on his features and I flashing from his eyes. This sudden arri- j val decided the destination of the lust bullet, j " Take it. you black devil !" cried Stew- ! art. just as the blow was descending, and j he fired his weapon, the ball passing through j the miscreant's head, and bringing him j dead to the (loor. /i V 1 ?? 1*1 I ?

It sccmvd as if Algiers had turned out to witness the triumphal retreat, the streets being filled j with thousands of men and women collect- j ed together hy the brief contest at the I Moor's house, but not an attempt was made to intercept the progress of the party, the I Algerines contenting themselves with 1 scowls and denunciations. Ten minutes ' later tli" rescuers were at the cutter, twenty : minutes more and tlie entire party were I safely back to the Constellation, not having | lost a man. Tlie. vountr lieutenant received the hearty thanks of his superior, to ?ny ' nothing of the gratitude of .Mr. Collins nml his daughter, whoso family proved to lie of eoiise?|Ucnce in New York ; and we areas- j surcd that Charlio Stewart was never lnppier in his life, than when Miss Alioo was united to one of his " chums," a nohle hearted lieutenant, now a co .imodore,.who fell in love with the. rcseucd maiden daring the Constellation's homeward passage.
