the Bourse that England was seeking to draw
France into a war with the United States.
j This was developed in a Paris letter to the In
dependence' Beige, and the number containing
the letter was freely admitted this morning in
ito the country. It is .noteworthy, however,
!_ that the PretTse alone of all the Paris papers has
alluded- to the concurrence, and then express
ed doubt. This would look as though they
had received notice to keep silent.
I have never doubted the inclination of this
Emperor to attack us since his alliance with -
England. But I did not expect any evidences .
of it till after the fall of Sebastopol. It may
turn out that this rather premature manifesta
tion, will be an unlucky step for Louis Na
poleon: Ile wants 500 millions of francs, and
is only waiting for
. glorious tidings to propose
anotherloan of that amount. If the intelli
gence is not sufficiently decisive to make the
accomplishment of the loan a matter of spon
taneous enthusiasm like the last, he may have
difficulty in raising the money, and especially
if trouble with America be added -to trouble
with Russia. People would then be very
skittish in entrusting any further supplies to
the author of the apothegm, - 'e L' _empire,
,c'est
la Puix." . - - _
- ,
. "This is no business of yours, sir. these
orders are for me, and I am acting upon them,"
said the Commissary.
This happened at Calais. Something more
was said, but of no public concern. Mr. Soule
left by the next steamer, and reached Loudon
late in the evening day before yesterday. • The
news being made known in American circles,
the greatest excitement prevailed, and, as may
be imagined. measures of all sorts were sug
gested amidst great indignation.
The writer goes on to say this was not in
tended as an insult to . Mr. Soule the minister . ,
- and therefore to the United States Government,
but as ea answeLof European despotism to the
t•Congress of AWerican Democratic Diplamat- '
ists," recently held in the Netherlands. The
writer adds that among the many personsrwho
bold this opinion is Mr. Revertly Johnson, - Of '
Baltimore, who wrote in that spirit a very
long letter to Mr. Mason. We here quote
.what the 'correspondent subsequently says :
Mr. Mason— the news of the Calais outrage
having reached him—went to the Foreign Office
and wished to see M. Drouyn de L'lluys im
mediately. Ile was left waiting Iwo full hours.
• Admitted at last, he remarked,-first ,of all, upon
—ibis #ardy reception„-i-Soine -apolegios.--were
made, but in a tone and inanner that convinced_
Mr. Mason that he had been left waiting pur
posely. -He dropped that matter, however, and
passed to the object of his official call; and ask—
ed the reason why Mr. Soule had not been per
mitted to pass through France en virile to Spai&
"Well," said Mr.. Drouyn de L'Huys, in a
very impertinent tone, "there are reasons for
that." Being pressed for these reasons. Mr.
Mason was told that there were three of them :
First, The Areatment of M. Dillon, French
Consul in California. Secondly. The letter of
Mr. Sanders to the French people ; and thirdly,
Cuba.
The French Foreign Secretary said that the
Imperial Covernnient cannot ti expected to
treat in the usual friendly way the citizens of a
State that has behaved in such a hostile man.
'tier towards it.
. lam told that Mr. Mason replied in the way
--tba-t-wou I d - hrtire-ot.ctu red -- t - creverrorre -- L-I , :e -- on
being told those reasons. lle_said_that. the of.
'air of Mr. Dillon was, in the - worst possible
construction, but the mere blunder of a emir/
of justice. and that it cannot, accordingly, be
'made parallel with a case in which the Uldled
States are insulted by order of the highest au•
tboritv of another State. The letter of Mr.
Sanders was the act of an individual, who had,
moreover, been recalled from an official posi-
tion before he published anything. Americans
-- havelb - eritlit. to say what they like, andi.
Government has no control over their pens and
. presses..
This is a personal matter, which conld, per
haps, have excuseda discourtesy toArds the
Citizen Sanders, if he have presented
himself on the fro of France, but it
certainly did not authorise a step like that
against the United States Minister. As to
Cuba, Mr. Mason absolutely denied—if I am
well informed—the right of any Power to med
dle with difficulties that may have arisen he-
tureen Spain and the United states. lie. at all
events, could not see how questions of foreign
policy can be treated by affronts offered to a
friendly power. The two Ministers parted
very much excited, and Mr. Mason was fully
prepared to ask for his passpoits: Ile sent,
however, a special messenger to Mr. , Bu
chanan, before deciding upon this step.
Another London letter, dated the 31st ult.;
says : •
I am again assured that a French fleet. will
soon be sent to the West Indies. The person,
who is very positive m his information, writes
me that the principal reason of that quarrel is
to be sought in the wish to have a pretext for
sending a protecting squadron to the waters of
St. Domingo. the ytilkSi annexation of which is
to be impeded by - any means. Another in
formant is of opinion that the whole affair is
but a palace intrigue, concocted and carried
out to please the Duchess of Alba, who. as you
know, is the sister of the Empress Eugenie
21ontijo.
However that may be, the English are very
much afraid of the consequences of that un
locked for affair. They begin, for the first,
to think of the grave difficulties which such an
rolventurous ally may lead them into. The
Times, of yesterday, had a leader un the mat
ter.
As to the exiles, their sentiments may he
easily guessed. They protest loudly against
a►nv possible insinuation that France should
tr santion such an insult against America.
Ledru Rollin is to give utterance to these pro
testing sentiments. and will address a letter to
the people of the United Suites, wishing them
tut to forget that the successful advent•uer
and his Decemlarist minions do not constitute
the french people, which are most fraternally
attached to their republican brothers beyond
the waters.

Self-Styled "Americans" are heard to talk

author has a "conscience void of offence"-to the

with the precise source of these extracts—if in
their connection as in their isolation, their au

such as their collator represents them and him
self to he, then we may be apprehensive—then
may we look to ourselves. Uutil then we beg
leave to be allowed to doubt whether foreign

Curing Beef and Pork..
At the request of a number of 'subscribers,
we republish, for the fourth or fifth time, our
mode of curing beef and pork, which has been
used so generally in this community, and which
we believe to be the very best now inAse. It is
this : To one gallon of water, take one and . a
half pounds of salt, half pound of - sugar, and
half ounce of saltpetre.. In this ratio the pickle
to be increased to any quantity desired. Let
these be boiled together, until all the dirt from
the sugar, (which will not be a little;) rises to
the top and is skimmed. off. Then throw it
into a tub to cool, and when perfectly cvol,'pour
it over your beef or perk, to remain the usual
time, say four or five weeks. .The meat must
be well covered with pickle, and should not be
put down for at least two days after killing,
during which tine it should be,,Aightly.sprin
kled with powdered saltpetre.
P. S. Several of our friends have omitted the
boiling of the pickle, and found it to answer
equally as w l / 4 41. t not answer quite so
well, however. By . boiling the pickle, you
purify it—for the amount of dirt which is drawn
off by the operation, from the salt and sueAr,
would surprise one riot acquainted with the
fact.—Gerrnan'own Telegraph.

There are five Native Americans, one Indepen

The True Smerican says, that the- State is
in a prosperous condition. ' The Democratic
party has left but little

ther improvement, and the opposition, even, it
were possible for them to do so, would not at
tempt to undo what has been so well and sat
isfactorily, done. New ,jersey has prospered

Beauties of Know-Nothingism.
The Saturday Express, a Know-Nothing pa
per publighed in Lancaster, alleges that Cot.
Mow, or some of his friends, practiced an im
position on that pious order for the purpose of
obtaining their votes, and says that its mem
bers, by voting for Mr. M. "hare risked their
souls' salvation by deliberate and wilful per-
jury."
We hope that right minded people may be
induced to ponder and reflect on this startling
declaration. It is a virtual admission of the
woriit' character of Know•Nothingiszn. One
hundred and twenty-one thonstind Know-Noth
ings voted for Col. MoTr, and consequently
that number of souls have been perjured. Too
great a stake by far for the sake of one Canal
Commissioner, or even for the whole Board.
We should ‘ Tike to know who imposed on the
Know-Nothings of N. York, by means of which
they voted for ULLMAN, their candidate tor Gov
ernor, who. according to the best authority, was
born out of the country, and what is to become
of their souls ? •
This Know-Nothing candidate lived in Penn
sylvania some years since, and if half we have
heard about him be true, he ought not have
been born any where. The people about Phil
ips, Bellefonte, and Clearfield in this State, we
are informed, have expressed great surprise
that Mr. U. should have become the represent
ative of a ,party that pretends to correct the po
litical, moral, social, and religious errors of the
day. Morality and religion are topics that
seldom occupied his thoughts in that region of
country. Cards and whiskey were more fre;
quently discussed.—Penney Ivanian.
NOBLE SESTIMEIs:TS OF SILAS WRIGIIT.--The
following noble sentiments enunciated by the
late Silas Wright, are particularly appropriate
at the present time, when sectionalism and
disunionismare rife in the land
""If there be those among us who, misled by
a mistakin"sympathy, ur by sudden excilemrnt,
upon any subject, are forgetting their obliga- ,
tions to Me whole country, to the constitution
and the Union. let tia nse every effort of per
suasion and example to awaken them to a sense
of their dangerous error. If those who, for the
sake of private interest, personal ambition or
momentary political success, are willing to ex
periment upon the public - passions, to treat
lightly their , constitutional obligations, to fo
ment sectional jealo•.rsies and raise up geograph
ical distinctions within the Union. let the ab
sence of our countenance and support convince
such that the personal gratification or public
services of any man are not objects of sufficient
magnitude to be gained at the expense of the
harmony of the country, the peace of the Union
or a single letter in the list of our canstutional
duties. If among us there be any—which
Heaven forbid !—who are prepared. for any
earthly object, to dismember our confederacy
and destroy that constitution %I - hickbinds us
together, let the detestation and scorn of every
American be their constant companion, until.
like him, they shall abandon a country whose
rich blessings they are no longer worthy to
enjoy."
