From the New-York Journal.

A late publication, from London, called, "THE JOCKEY CLUB," while treating on the intrigues of the QUEEN of France, introduces the following note:--

"To us who are acquainted with the actual resources of France and with the spirit and unanimity that now prevail through the whole country, the idea of conquering it appears insanity; but while the momentary excesses of an outraged and justly exasperated multitude, are at present so maliciously dwelt on, in order to depreciate the generous universal principle on which the nation act, let us refer our readers to the savage horrors now daily exercising on the frontiers, without a shadow of interest or provocation, by the disciplined armies of Prussia and Austria, under the command of that humane, experienced, and philosophic general, the Duke of Brunswick, the valiant brother of our Royal George, and in order to give some idea of the tenderness and compassion of the French aristocracy, we shall relate the following anecdote, the veracity of which is generally acknowledged throughout Paris, and we ourselves heard it triumphantly recorded by a young French aristocrat, who occasionally assisted at the ceremony.

For a considerable time before the tenth of August, the royalists assumed a very imperious tone. their numbers were formidable, and they announced, without reserve, their hopes, which with them, amounted to a certainty, of a counter-revolution, and their pastimes were adapted to the sanguine expectations they indulged.

There has been a machine lately invented in France, for the execution of criminals, called a Guillotin, after the name of its inventor, and it is contrived that on dropping, instantaneously to sever the head from the body. In the aristocratic families, and chiefly among those connected with the Queen, it was the custom every day, as soon as dinner was finished, to have one of these Guillotins in miniature, brought in with the dessert. Around it were fixed figures representing some of the principal and most obnoxious patriots, Mess. d'Orleans, Condorcet, Brissot, &c. About the neck of each, was a small phial containing a crimson coloured liquid perfume. A magistrate (one of the party) was appointed to try the criminals, and immediately on sentence being pronounced, by an ingenious mechanical process, down dropped the Guillotin, the head was at once chopped off, and the blood flowed; when the company in general, and particularly the ladies, eagerly and joyfully steeped their handkerchiefs in it, and applying it to their noses, in extacy exclaimed, "Ah! qu'il est doux, le sang des patriotes!" as Ah! how sweet is this patriot blood.!--for among them, as with our fine gentry in London, the word patriot is an epithet of mockery and derision.

From the above well known fact, we leave our readers to conclude, what the result would have been, if victory had inclined to their side. Eleven thousand victims were already predestined to the block, and it cannot be supposed there would have been much pains bestowed on the formation of tribunals for trial."
