TIE ELssLER SERENADE AND THE
ELssLER JAcKAssfs.--The two foreign
prints published in this city, the Herald
and the Courier des Etats Unis, informs
us that the serenade yesterday morning in
honor of Fanny Elssler, passed off in a
very satisfactory manner. The Herald
says:


"The serenade came off in fine style,
after midnight; full account is in the


Weekly Herald"


Turning to the Weekly Herald we find
that it is wholly silent upon the subject,
but we have been so accustomed to the
Herald's falsehoods that we are not sur

gallantry Of her countrymem.


This is fair specimen of tie honesty
and truth of these fulsome adolators of
the German opera dancer For weeks the
Herald and the Courier des Etats Unis
have been filled with the most absurd and
disgusting rhodonmntades in relation to
Fanny Elssler Their fattery have re-
presented her as "divine," and worthy to
Ee worshipped and the French paper
has SO far outraged the feelings of every
Christian as to compare her to the Mes
siah!


1t is perfectly natural, now, that the
sylnpathiesof these foreigners should lead
them to laud Fanny Elssler; but when
they undertake: by their false and exag-
gcrated statements, to fasten upon free
born Americans, the stigma of kneeling in
worship, like the atheists of the French
revolution, before dansueSe, we are not
surprised at the ebuliition of popular in
dignation and disgust which was yester-
day manifested. In Baltimore few young
Germans took the horses from this fe-
males carriage, and dragged her to her
hotel. This is a free country, and if any
