American Consul Insulted Progress of the
Spnui.-li Designs on the Domiuician ?
public. St. Dominoo Citt, Wednesday, Oct. 15.
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. This was, however, re
fused hy M r. Pereira, who stated that the
American flag needed no guard to cause it to !
be respected, and that be was then prepared
to me.-t any mob thut might appear, liut ull
disturbance was soon quelled Mr. Segovia
toot fright and remained at home.
This U nut all. Segovia has turned Santa
Aua. M.rta. and the Allans out of the gov
ernment. He ha sent the America!) Minis
ter, Delinoute, his passport, and for ought wo
know, will eooti have a Spanish army to meet
the Americans, when they demand satisfac
tion for withdrawing their treaty. Can the
United Slates government ullow this Segovia
to ubuse their rights uud break down the
Dominican Republic, or will the American
people consent to it, are questions we want

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

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"

this country, but in Knrope. Messrs. Childs

edition of ten thousand copies, ready in a few

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

bear no comparison with those of Dr. Kane.

Washington, Nov. 10, 1836.
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.
An TCxMinister of State in i?oj7 A oor
respomleiit of tho Augsburg Allegemeiiie
Zt'ituug, writes :
"In the streets of Brnssele may bo seen,
from time time to time.au old poorly clad
man with snow white hair, a fine expressive
face, uud beautiful intelligent eye. His black
dress coat is thread bare, nnd his cap so
weather stained, thnt it would be impossible
to tel! the color of the cloth of which it is
made. His form is bent with gout, and yet
he wnlk.i very briskly, cane in bund. Some
times lie has u loaf of bread under his urm, a
bottle of beer, oru litllee butter ou a cabbage
leaf. Fvery time I pass him. I bow to him,
though personally 1 do not know him. The
man lives in a miserable garret in the rue de
Marias, where there is no fire in the winter;
a poor bed. a few chuirs, an old Secretary,
books and manuscript', comprise his fumi
tore. This man is Jccchiin Lelewel, now 70
years of age, the most celebrated writea of
modern times, who, during the Polish revoln
tion, was Minister of Public Instruction, and
since 1833 bus lived at Brussels He refuses
all sympathy, friends as well as admirers, but
lives iu self-imposed poverty, from the scanty
income derived from his literary lubors. A
Professorship of history, which the Belgian
Government and oflerward the University,
had otlered him, he refused to accept. An
old lady of noble birth died recently, who es
teemed the learned Polish refugeo'so highly
that, though not knowing him personally, she
left him a legacy of six hundred franc a
year. I don't kuow whether be has accepted
it."

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.

Trementlnu Fire at Syraci'te, N. Y. Lost eboal
One Milliuu orUullari.
Straccse, November 8, About 3 o'clock,
this morning, the largest fire that has ever
visited our city, broke out in the first Ward,
and in tlie short space of three hours over 12
acres were burnt, and about one hundred
buildings consumed, 'i he fire originated in
the buru back of Grunt's hotel, which had not
been occupied for two or three years, lt im
mediately communicated to Grant's hotel, oc
cupied by Harney Grunt, which was consum
ed. The loss on the building is estimated at
S3000. Tho store of Mr. M'Guire then cought
tire und wus soon burned down loss S3000.
The Dames then spread to the new und mag
nificent building owned by Messrs. Slutterly
& Ford, uud sooji it was iu a mass of ruins.
lt was occupied by Lynch Brothers.-wbo hud

The loss on the building will be about 10,oo0
insured 4000. Thu Lynches will loose
ubout 5-10,000 insured '3000. A large
number of wooden buildings iu the rear uud
adjoining block were cououined. The Avery

certained. The bunk of Salina was also con
sumed loss ou the building gtiOOi). All the
books and papers of the haul: were saved.
The Fost-oflice and Telegraph ollice were de
stroyed, but we learn thut all thu letters uud
pupers wero saved. The water nt the Reser
voir was turned of)', and. consequently the hy
drants were useless. A strong west wind
wus blowing at the time and our citizens were
compelled to stand uud see their property
consumed with nothing to stop its progress.
The entire loss cuu full little short of oue mil
lion of dollars, und may reuch more. Over
one hundred families 'have been rendered
homeless. The tire undoublcdlp was the
