Napoleon demands from Prussia
the French frontier by rectification of
its extension to the Rhine, as it was
marked prior to its disturbance in
1814. The military and naval prepa?
rations which are l>eing carried on in
France induced the belief that the
Emperor will make war if his de?
mand is not complied with. The
demand has caused great excitement
in Berlin. A semi-official journal in
Berlin recommends Prussia to recon?
struct Germany as far as possible on
the basis of the preservation of the
vital and constitutional rights of tlie
States which are to be annexed to her.
The Philadelphia Convention.
PHILADELPHIA, August 12.-The j
great wigwam for the National Con- ;
vention will be completed by Tues?
day. It is the largest structure ever
built for a political gathering. A
large number of delegates have ar- |
rived. Revordy Johuson, Montgo- j
mery Blair, Stockton, of New Jersey,
Fernando Wood, Cowan, of Pennsyl- !
vania, and many other distinguished I
persons, have arrived. The Execu-1
tive Committee have rooms at the j
Continental Hotel.
There was quite a stir, to-day, over j
a report, in the New York Herald, that ;
Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, i
had secretly called for 20.000 militia,
for service during the time of the j
Convention, and that trouble will
probably ensue. This is believed to !
be a canard. There is no reason to j
suppose-tho Convention will be dis?
turbed, notwithstanding the mis
enlevons articles of some of the radi- !
cal press. General Dix or George j
Ashburne, of Massachusetts, will pre
side.
PlIILADBLTT?L\, August 13.--Up
Wards of 000 delegates to the Con
vention have arrived. Among the '
most notieeablo persons are Thurlow 1
Weed, Dean Richmond, Secretaries j
Randall and Browning, Gen. Steed
man, Cornelius Wendell, Fernando
Wood, Vallandigham, Governors Orr, !
Sharkey and Perry, A. O. P. Nichol
son and Senator Outhrie. There is
considerable excitement about the
admission of Vallandigham, Wood
and other peace Democrats. There
is no reason, however, to doubt that1
all will be adjusted to-night. Fer- ;
nando Wood will decline to go into
the Convention, if necessary to the j
harmony of it. Thc programme is
yet unknown, but no third party will
bo formed. The Convention will
probably adopt a series of resolutions
r endorsing the policy of the President
and denouncing Congress, mid an
address will bo issued to thc country,
which will embody the principles set
forth in tho call for the Convention.
R. C. Winthrop, of Massachusetts, or
Dix will preside.

CONG UESSIONAX ROBBERY. -Ever

Congress who have voted themselv
an addition of $2,000 a year on eat

jesty, Queen Urama, ?pous? in bis
day of King Kamehaha IV, arrived
in ?ew ^0rx. oa "Wednesday, on the
steamer -Java, m route, for home, after
several months spent in England, en?
deavoring, unsuccessfully, to collect
money. The Herald says: V
She has been making a sisterly call,
aa A queen and s widow, npon Queen
Victoria, and low had a royal time, of
il as the recipient of ibo hospitalities
of England's rojal.family and no?
bility, Q?ite Overshadowing, for ex?
ample, the euihoress of Uncle Tom's
Cabin and the Black Swan in the
r honors received from the Duchess of
Sutherland. Queen Emma, accord?
ing to tho Engngh journals, is a fine,
majestic, handsome, interesting, nmj
ablo and accomplished woman, of the
lightest and ?oftest complexion and
in the pria* of Uf?. We have heard
that her sympathy se a royal widow,
. and that universal curiosity of her
sex to see for themselves the celebri?
ties of their day, carried this island
queen from Honolul? all' the way to
England, to pay her respects in per?
son to the good and disconsolate Vic?
toria. We are thus reminded of the
famous journey, over 2,000years ago,
of the Queen of Sheba to tho then
splendid royal city of Jerusalem, to
satisfy her curiosity as to the wealth
and splendor, the gallantry and gran?
deur, the wit anet wisdom, and the
finery, fuss and feathers.of King Solo -
uaon rn all his glory. -She had her
reward, for after her gracions Majesty
had enjoyed his imperial hospitalities
and received his presents and bless?
ing, she departed, with the declara?
tion that not the half of King Solo?
mon's splendors and merits had been
told her.
The Nsw York Exp reen, giving an
account of the arrival of the Queen
Dowager in Hew York, says:
The reception ol the representa?
tives ef our Government by the
Queen was s private affair, arid occu?
pied but a short time. Her Majesty
and her suite were immediately trans?
ferred from die Java to the Jessa?
mine, the Queen's flag on the former
was hauled down in token of fare?
well, and the cutter sped on her way
with her illustrious passenger.
The Queen is accompanied and es?
corted by Major Hopkins, on officer
of the English army. A young
English lady, Miss Luess Spurgen,
travels -with her in the capacity of a
lady friend. Her Majesty is also ac?
companied by a man-servant and
maid-servaut. These four persons
comprise the suite. On reaching the
city they proceeded to the Brevoort
House, and in the afternoon they
visited the Central Park.
Tlie Queen is about 30 years of
age, of the .medium size, of prepos?
sessing appearance, has black eyes,
black straight hair, and olive com- j
plexion. She dresses in the latest
style, and in manner and conversa- ;
tion "is eyery inch a Queen."
Emma is not a Queen Regnant; S
she is the widow of the late King
Kamchnha IV, who was succeeded by
his brother, the present King Kame
haha V. Queen Emma had one child,
a little boy, -who died a short time be?
fore his father. Emma is, therefore,
Queen Dowager, and not having any
affairs of State to engross her atten?
tion-she being a sincere Christian
has given her whole attention to thc
propagation of the Gospel among her
people. She is a member ol* the
Episcopal Church, coincides with
ami is an ardent supporter of the
views entertained by the High Church
party of England, and her mission to
that country was to procure aid from
that portion of the English Church.
She made many friends there, who
exerted themselves to the utmost in
her behalf, and, in consequence, she
received subscriptions to the amount
of more than 850,000.
R. S. Chilton, Esq., the represen?
tative of Secretary Seward, bas ex?
tended an invitation to her Majesty
to visit Washington, which has been
accepted, but no definite time has
been set for her visit.
THE KENTUCKY ELECTION.-Tho j
Louisville Courier, of Wednesday,
says :
We publish in this morning's
Courier, returns official and reported
from forty-four Counties in the State,
which foot up a majority for lin vail
of 27,388 votes. The Democracy
make a clean sweep, us not a single
County yet reports a majority for
Hobson. Tho nearest toit is Lewis
County, in -which tho result is stated
as doubtful. There are sixty-six
Counties yet to hear from, many of
which are small, but in localities
claimed by thc radicals. The figures
now indicate that the Democratic ma?
jority in the State will exceed -10,000,
and mny even reach or go beyond
50,000.
PLANTING TS NORTH CAROLINA. -A
gentleman just arrived in this city
from tho extensve cotton plantations
on Tar Uiver, North Carolina, speaks
of the crops as promising exceedingly
well. The planters aro Northern
men, who have hired the land from
the old proprietors, and pay the
negroes a certain amount in cash,
besides rations. Some of them, if
there is no disappointment, will
realize ut least 820,00D on the season's
crop. The negroes work tolerably
well, but they steal all they can got
and spend all they can earn.
[Journal of Commerce.
Land is victorious over water
Field over the sea.
There are cheering indications that
it is the parp?se of tho President,
before long, to bow-string a number
of the military satraps of tho radical
party, and put conservative soldiers
from West Point in their places. The
Augean stable of the Freedmen's
Bureau tsands sadly in need of cleans?
ing. In many places where these
agents of the Jacobins have been
stationed at the South, they have
lost no opportunity of exasperat?
ing and goading our people almost to
desperation. Far from attempting
to promote kindly relations between
the whites and the blacks, they have
becomo partizans of the negroes, in
shameful disregard of thoir duties as
the members of an honorable pro?
fession. Many of these men have
utterly disgraced themselves by set-k
ing to inflame the prejudices of the
North against the South.
If the report of the Reconstruction
Committee vras submitted to a board
of military gentlemen who had
graduated at West Point, wo think
they would, upon reading thc defama
tory testimony against the South oJ
many a military officer, "declare thal
he had been guilty of conduct un
becoming an officer and a gentle
man," What would tho "old amn
officers" think of an order to ai
artist, in this city, to photograph th?
