On the night of tho 14th of October, a mob, instigated by Mr. A. M. Segovia, Spanish Consul-General, assembled before the United States Consulate, for the pur pose of pulling down tho flag staff and the ensign, throwing stones against the eagle, and making the greatest disorder. Thero were also cries of "Down with tho lillibus ter3 '. down with the American ensign!" The American Consul. Mr. Jacob Pereira, repaired to the spot for the purpose of im posing respect, but all his efforts were iu vain. Not being nblo tit that moment to obtuin any assistance from the authorities, he v-as obliged, for the safety of his person and life, to leave the place of disorder. A greater outrage by Spaniard was never committed in any civilized country, and it s'uiwa that the Spanish Consul is determined i. trample on the liouur of the United States government, lie bus not only compelled this government to withdraw the treaty just mule with the United Stute.vbut he is doing nil in his power to break down tho United Slates Consulate, and poison the good natured Dominicans against Americans, In this scheme he will succeed, if some serious measure are uot taken at ouco by the United Slates. The morning after the riot, the American l!ouul represented the case to the govern nieiit by means of nil official note, uud the Mayor was immediately informed of the conduct of Mr. Segovia. Tlie Mayor then .culled on the Ainericuu Consul, to offer him .protection, ami u bio of soldiers, to impose that ic-spect which was due to the United fctates Consulate.

The friend? of Mr. Buchanan feel that tho very large vote polled for Col. Fremont, almost a novico in the political world, curries with it almostcer. tiin conviction that all minor issues will be absorbed in that of Slavery, the great ques tion npon which this Union will be split, should it ever be doomed to disoolution, an event which, I trust, is fur off in the womb of the future, lt has been rumored that Mr. Iliichaiinn is in favor of making Kansas a Iree State. A member of Congress from this city, a warm friend of Mr, Buchanan, admitted tlie importance of making Kansas a free State, but was not certain that it could be accom plished, us the South would make a desper ate effort to secure it as a foothold for Slave ry extension, Mr. Buchanan no doubt feels, as does every intelligent statesman, thnt Sluvery is an evil, nnd will use all constitu tional and legal means consistent with his duty to stay its progress or extension over territory now free. The people have taken him in trust, relying more on him ns a states man of high and pntriotie purposes, than on tho principles of the Cincinnati Platform- which in fact was repudiated by a number of the delegates who voted for it, by voting in opposition to the President's veto, of the Harbor and improvement bills, passed Inst session. As a matter or policy, Slavery should be confined to its present limits. Tho relative value of free nnd slave Foil, nil other things being equal, is ns five to on"- It is said that lam.? in Missouri, equal to those in Kansas, divided only by the river. sell for nbo'it one fifth of the latter. A, New York paper estimates that about twenty-four millions of dollars have been ex pended in the last Presidential contest, by nil parties This is. probably an extravagant estimate, but there can be no rloubt but that ten millions have been expended for that purpose. What other people on earth would expend so much, not in vindication of their rights, but in snppoit of their opinions T Jef ferson remarked, that even error can be tole rated, where public opinion is left free to combat it. I am pleased to learn that Pr. Kane's in" teresting w ork finds a ready sale, not only in this country, but in Knrope. Messrs. Childs & Peterson, the enterprising publishers, in formed me that they had already orders on hand for twenty-eight thousand copies, or three thousand more than tho whole edition issued. They will, however, have another edition of ten thousand copies, ready in a few da vs. The narrative is instructive nnd entertain- ing.and in some parts of thrilling; interest. The explorations of Col. Fremont were, no doubt, more important, ns they involved the conquest and acquisitions cf California, wlncli is now diffusing its vast wealth amongst us, but the hardships endured, the incidents and ndventures connected with his expedition will bear no comparison with those of Dr. Kane. The mule steuks of the Colonel might be con sidered ns quite a savory dish, w hen compur. ed with the rat soup of the Doctors', closed up as he was by impenetrable barrios of ice, und shut out from the light of heaven, by ut most six mouths of continuous night und darkness.

The Democrats, in tho midst or their rejoicings, look sadly ut the election returns from Michigan. The probablo loss of Gene ral Cass from the U. S. Senate occasions them much uneasiness, nnd produces regret umong all purties here in Washington, where he is universally known and venerated for his lengthened carter in tho service of his country, his valued experience ns a states man, and for thn unsullied purity of his public und private life. It will be registered, and fore vet remembered ns a historical re proach to the Statu of Michigan if she suffers this, one of the Inst oT our old and honored stock of American statesmen, to be offered up to appease the political madness which now rules ill lunr. nnd which tenino tn demand the sacrifice of this distinguished man, wnoso whole lite has been dedicated to her service, and of whoso renown she has just cause to be proud. Active preparations are in progress for the session of Congress which is now close upon us. The lust annual message of the President will be sought with that peculiar interest which attaches to ull valedictories; but to this lust massage a more than ordinary interest is attached, as it will be supposed to cnntuiu a review of the stirring events w hich have shaken ut least two political parties to pieces during this administration. The mul titude who ore immediately interested, have scarcely yet recovered from the shocks of alarm and suspense- which so remarkably characterized the recent Presidential canvass. Expectation has not yet begun to cast forward its eye, nnd point out to view the statesmen whom the new President will summon around him, when he skull arrange and organize his administration, nor, has it even yet been attempted to designate the different sections of the country from which they will be taken. Thu formation of the Cabinet will be a fruitful source of speculotion for three months to come, affording abundant occupation to the political soothsayers nnd professional letter writers, with which Washington abounds. All of your readers however muy safely rely upon this one fact, which will be generally conceded : that Mr. Buchunan's judgment, , experience, sound sense, and knowledge of the public men now upon the stage: will lead him to act with safety in a matter of such great pith and moment ; and when thu new Cabinet is unnounced, all who ....... . may he inclined honestly to give Ins adminis tration a fuir triul upon its merits, will be constrained to refrain from censure. When Congress shall have re-ussembled in Decem ber next, und not until then, will the organi zation of the new administration be discussed iu intelligent circles. Our foreign relations are all in the most desirable, pacific condition. Tho disputes with England aro quietly nnd satisfactory adjusted. Nothing now remains to mar our pence or interrupt our onward murch in na tional prosperity but domestic discord, fo mented by indiscreet extrumo men und pres ses, both in the North uud South. The im partial historian will not fail, hereafter, to re gard it as a most providential event that the succession has lighted upon a statesman of mature yeurs. firm will, patriotic, enlightened and conservative, with whom no measures suggestive of violent extremes can ever find favor. 1'k.n.n.

Townsend, who was sentenced to two yenrB in Ihe Delaware State Prison, at New Castle, for robbing the Post office at Wilmington. Del., has succeed in breaking juii aguin. This is the fourth time he has es- cuped frttin this prison. The first time, whilo in prison waiting his trial, lie broke jail and let out three other prisoners; on the same nieiit there .wero some six or seven stores broken into in Wilmington, Shortly after this escape ToTnscnd was recogti;rcd nnd ar rested in Philadelphia, and a portion o? the goods taken from the stores was fjnnd on his person ; he also bad on his person five pistols heavily loaded and u large dirk knife. In a few days after he was lodged in tho old quar ters, he aguin escaped from his cell, and bad reached the top of tho wall and was in the act ol jumping down on the outside, when he was discovered by the Sheriff; the sherifffir ed at him and he was captured. Shortly af ter this second, attempt to escape his trial came off, Beforo he was sentenced, he made n strung appeal to the Court for clemency; that ho was sorry for what he had done; would reform A:c. About a month after be was sentenced he made his third escape from the prison; this time he Ictont twaoiher pri. soners with him ; and on this same night the Post-office at Wilmington was rob bed. Thiii time he, wan recognized by the conductor, while in the cars between Wil mington and Chester, The conductor locked both ejids of the car, and when they renched Chester an officer was procured and Town send was again arrested. One of tho per sons he had let out of prison, tiamod "Oyster Charley," was with him in the car, anil ho was also arrested. Townsend was taken back to the prison, and this time, to make sure of him, he was put in double irons, which means handcuff's and hobbles or log irons. Ho was locked in his cell and close watched. Not withstanding all this precaution, he again ef fected another and a fourth escape on Friday night last. This time he had fed or sawed oil' his hnndciifl's and leg-irons, and cutting a hole through thu oak floor of his cell, he de scended into a room below, from there hp got into the prison yard, nnd then scaled tlif'naH which is ubout twenty feet high. His feats will rival those of Juck Sheppard or Sixteen String Jack. He is certainly the most suc cessful jail breaker this country has produced and while lie is now ut large, will no doubt improve on his past experience. Townsend is a young man, about 19 years of age, about live feet six inches high, well und compactly built, light hair and comglexion, nnd blue eyes. Public Ledger.
