THE TREATY.
Alluding to the rumoured Treaty, tho Na
lional Intelligencer says 'Wo aro afraid
that the news is not only prematute, but
that there is a possibility nf its not becom
ing true at present" Certain it is, that ru
mor represents the settlement of one at
least of tho questions between Great Britian
and the United States to have been found
eo difficult as to leave a doubt whehtor it can
be considered probable-'
Tho New York Tribute says that two or
more of the mills at Lowell have been
stopped, and that between 2000 and 3000
ftelory girls have been thrown out of orn
' ployment.
Ths Whig papers of Philadelphia, are all

samo high station, the Pennsylvanian,
seems to be in favor of Mr Buchanan and

Another account of tho disturbances a

men had taken up their station on Primrose
Hill and manifested a disposition to pro
ceed to violence if fheir demands were not
complied with. To make their em
ployer pay cash to them for their wa
ges instead of orders on stores. These
stores, it soerni. are owned by the employ
ers themselves and for the goods thus re
ceived the minots have been cempelled to
pay about two prices. The employers a
greed to comply when another difficulty
took place. The workmen then struck
tot higher tvuget, which the proprietors re
fuse to give, and thus mater9 remained.The
wages of the miners has been from H to

Great Emigration. .Tho New York
Americans says that Ictlois received from
the continent of Europo announce tho com
ing of thousands of Germans to the United
States, One letter atatos that 20,000 are
about to embark from one district, and that
rage for emigration pervades the whole of
Germany and Holland. The only event
that can possibly prevent tho coming of
these masses of emigrants, is the want of
vessels. An immense army of emigrants
aro on their march into France to embark a
French ports, In conGrmation of these
reports, we extract tho following from a
French paper, published in Paris, noted
for tho accuracy of its statements.

to attempt tho deliverance of the individuals
from their perilous conditions, till two
young mechanics, named Ferdinand For

Smith, a young lady aged 15, years who
