Walker's Government Recognised.
PadreVijil was, on the 14th inst., resei*
ed by Bresident-Pieree as minister from Nic
aragua;yith marked distinction and cordiali
ty. The custoniiiry speech Was made and
answer :returned. IhiS event is considered
the beginning Of scriOns complications in our,.
foreign affairs. • ,
When IValker's Government-.----with Rivas
the nominal President—Was apparently firm.
ly established - told [its authority 'Unquestioned,
our Government rcfused':to recognize Parker
11. French, its duly accredited Envoy ; but
now when Walkei-ond Rivas are no longer
she undisputed rules of Nicaragua, When their
government has been overthrown and. quite
probably they have ere this 'b - een eithq kill
ed ' or driven out l of the country, Prytident,
Pierce recognizes theirs as the right' l Gov-,
emment. The riesident's course, in both bi-',
stances has been directly in defiance of •the,
settled American doctrine,according to whiek
if the established Government of a country,
sends a regularly appointed Minister'to our
-Government, he-iliould be received.

The American State Council.
We' publish, in another column, the addreo
of the. Scl'eders. from the American State
Counkil held at Harrisburg, on the 13th inst.,
as grfeitiq a sufficient history of the affair.—
It will be seen by-the statement of the sece
ders—which agrees with the report of the
proceedings' . published in . the Harrisburg
-Telegraph—that about a third of those in at
tendance, or , one half of the Fillniore and
lonelsokmen, were from Philadelphia. -•;
The Philadelphia Americans are -o(the,
pro-slavery or puinsecker stripe; who bolted
frcitn the 'State. COuneil. in June last ,ind
•adopted the pro-Slavery twelfth-se - can j!and
now, not content with the glories they,lutye
lately Won under the banner of Fillmore and
Donelion. in . their own city, they"' seek to_ do
'what misehiertheyi can in the State at large,
liy corning'hack'it4o the regular4nanization
with all the strength they-can muster..) •
Only seventeen of the sixty-five counties
in the State were represented
.in the . Council
just held, and of these a part seceded, leaving
only nine counties that endorse ;the Fillmore
-and borielson resolutions; and it is quite
doubtful whether the body of the Order in
those counties would endorse them. this
rate of progression; the Phil adel Gotton- .
ocracy will soon have the partY•all'tO them
selves; and a charming. little patty'. it will
be. - -
Eventually it wilyeome to be 'understood
that the people of the . "rural districts " will
swallow pro-Slaveri'douglifacisth under the
name of Americanini no better
, than under
_any 'other' name. We .can speak for one
county at least.. We do not believe there
_ .
are ten Fillmore Atheticans in Susquehanna
county. 2We have yet been 'able to dis
cover one. - •1, . .

..We learn from our friend, George Walk

hailstones gave him such a peltilig that: he
was fain to seek the shelter of the fence and
a small tree growing by it, till the storm
abated. .
jam" We leant from Washington that the
British Government has formally disavowed
having any intention to violate our munici
pal laws or nationality, in the matter of the
enlistments here for the Britsh army.. This
throws the blame, upon the agents of that
Government in this country; and it is said
that the Cabinet at Washington have decided
to give Mr. s ,Crampton,
_the British Minister,
hispassports. Ii is expected, that Mr. Cramp
ton-will leave the ,country, taking with him
the Secretary and all other .members of. the
I..,egation, immediately on receiving _his
passports, and that the British Government
will \ distniss , Mr. Pallas, our Minister at, that
Couit, thus suspending all intercourse -be
tween the two Goventments. We do not
believe that anit i bing more serious than a
war 'of words will grow out of this misunder
standing. •

made by which' parties W / bo, wish to see the

Letter from se*. J. L. Lyons. •
13EIRUT, (Syria,) March 31, 1856.
DEAR PARENTS :—Your kind letter:3 of
Jan. 24th, reached me on March 4th, and the
same dayi enclosed a short note to you from
.Henry to his friends. A few days since 1
returned - from a very pleasant' excursion to
some ofour Missionary stations in the moon-.
tans. Henry' and Mr - . Aiken accompanied
me. . We started.owSaturday (the 15th) for
B'Hamdun.- Mr.. Renton, the missionary . at
that place, was visiting.at. Beirut and went
. . .
up *ith us. , We .arrived at, his house and
took dinner, about ball . past 2 P. lit., and re-
mained tht'ac all . night. The next morning
(Sabbath)'•was • bright and beautittil, and
rode over alone to. A* Tatahell, (my old
summer residerice) to preach toy first , regu
lar sermon. in Arabic: The distance to A.
frbm WilaMdun is, three hours, and the road
is one of the most romantic and awfully pic-
turesque in Syria. On the war- • T met a
Druze ploughing. I aSked.him why he work
edupon the Sabbhth. hold hint it. was the
Jiol •day and• that , God had' commended us
to" Best• from cur labors 'upon •the Sabbath.—
I told. him I was going to Ain teltaitah to
preach to the people about Jesus Christ, and.
asked him if he knew who Christ . Was. He
said he did not . I: then . related to hith the
story of our Savior's - death, told him that, the
son of God died to save us from our, sins, and
'that we must love: and believe on him if we.
:would be saved:. He listened with much
tention, for this was doubtless new to him:
I.The Druzes never attend upon the preaching
of the. missionaries. • Poo . r men, they are in
deep ignorance arid` darknes_s,. and as they
. will not
.eeme to hear the truth, we must take
the•truth to then. .
. W hen I entered the village of Ain . Tehal- 1
teh the people came out of their houses and I
flocked around me, men, women and children,
boxing,' kissing my hands, and greeting me;
with'their cordial salutatOns. I never wit- I
~, •
nessed'such .a scene befo e, and it almost be- I
wildered me. I stopped at the hmise of my
old teacher, Rhaleel, the same house where I
had lived the summer befoie. The people
followed me in. '•At 2 o'clock I preached my
sermon to an audience of forty persons. it
was a great privilege and occasion of grati
tude to God to be able thus to standup and I
for the first time proclaim, to this people, in I
their own tongue, the unsearchable riches. of I
Christ. I spent all night with Milled, eat-' 1
ing with hiM in Arab - style, and slept on mats
and blankets on the floor. The' next morn-,
ing, Henry and Mr. Aiken came over to Ain
Tehalta and lye - rode ° together to Deir Ell
Komar, where I superintended mission schools
last summer. We visited also Muphtasa and
Abeih and returned to Beirut on Friday of
the same week.
All these scenes were new to Henry, and
he has written a long and interesting account
of 'our excursion. As you will no doubt
read his letcer, I need say nothing more up
on this subject.. ' . .
. Two weeks ago (the 14th inst.) I sent you
a box of curiosities Henry also sent a box
of - geological vedinens. The boxes ought
to-be in Roston by the middle of May.
We are now in the midst of otir annual
meeting. L, am the Secretary,. and have a
great deal of writing to do and therefore can
not now write so long a letter as I intended.
I Kaye a long letter nearly done (end's note
aecompanying • it, to, Mr. Riley) to the Sun
day School. But Las the mail is about to
leave the letter will have to wait till next
week.
