Some persons have just arrived here from Ralvextown, and report an extraordinary assemblage of French gentlemen being there with a large quantity of warlike stores, as well as farming tools Near three thousand more were expected there by the present period They came principally from Philadelphia; all their packages were marked Mobile, dens. Lallemund and Rigaud are amongst them. They cautiously avoid offending our govern ment. Ihe views of these people are not un Jet stood, but it is conjectured that they are going to some place bevoml the river lirand lucnwps i ainnii ill to possess ami nccupv a country to become an assylum for discontent ed Europeans. Ihe armed essels our govern ment ordered to that place, had not ppeared the middle of last month.

A subscription was raited amongst the most wealthy, to defray the incidental expenses.

Mr. Giraud is sai.l to have subscribed 50,000 dollars, and Joseph Bonaparte, Marshal Grouchy, arc also be lieved to have contributed largely. Some have gone so far as to a.srt that the leaders notified the Spanish minister at Washington ot lueir intention to colonize the above pro vince, where they are willing to acknowledge tne supremacy or old Spain in case she allowed them to remain undisturbed.

We bave this morning received New York papers to the 10th of ebruary inclusive. Jlfrs. French's farewell concert, the public will observe, is to take place thii evening, of which the particulars aipcar in the bills of the day. We were prevented by illnen from attending the last concert, nnd with much regret must add, that we cannot bo present this evening; but from the concurrent report of the best judges, who were present at the last occasion, as well as from what we witnessed ourselves at the former, we cannot bc.ilate to say, that her performances are of the first order. We did not speak critically of th first roncert, because, other papers, wh jse superior taste and judgment wa are willing to acknowledge, were so ready to render Mrs.

French full nnd ample justice, that they left nothing, or, but little, for us to say. Had we ventured to have given our opinion, although we probably should not have declared that she was superior in compass to a Catulini, or in, sweetness, pnwer aud expression, fo the reigning English favorite, Miss Stephens, (and for this simple i eason, that we never had the good fortune to hear either and still less should we have instituted invidious comparisons between her and those we have heard, and to whom we have never listened but with pleasure, (we allude to female singers only,) still we thould hav borne unequivocal and very tincoro testimony to Mrs. French', uncommon qualifications. In the lower half octave of her voice, she is not .0 full and firm in ber tones as the late Mrs. Hodgkinaou, hut her upper note, are silver, resembling both in clearness and swell the harmonica take her voice all together, from the lowest note to the lop of her compass, it is unrivalled, by any thing we hav hoard.

Her shake, which is a distinguishing mark of a finished singer, is, at once, even, open and brilliant, and introduced just where it ought to be. Some of our sagacious critic, have said Mrs. French is deficient in science. As we dont exactly comprehend what is meant, we, therefore, cannot speak on that poiut can only say, she certainly knows enough to be always in exact tune and time, and she is able to compose an accompaniment, oran air, or a va nation, with great taste, and when she has delicto sit down to her piano, and sing it with the moat captivating sweetness. We conclude by wishing her all the success she merits more the need not desire.

An overflowing room, and warm applauses, this evening, will testify Uie place the hold, in Uie esteem of the public. We understand that Mrs. French, at the gnt solicitation of a number her friends' has consented to sing in addition to the songs mentioned in her advertisement in the morning papers, the celebrated Echo Sung. 0" Henry Chan, Esq acting Swedish, Con sul General, is requested to rail at the Office ol the Evening Post, in the course of this afternoon.
