".Mr. Ctitv's letter oti the subject of annexation
appears to tiro universal satisfaction Many of the
friendsof annexatic ns say that Mr. Clay goes far
eitostgk for them; for they confidently believe that
Mexico will assent to the measure, and that nine-tenths
of the people of the Union will go fur it. They are
perfectly well content that the present treaty should

FIRIEMN OF ALLEGHLNY.-A difficulty has fm
.orno time existed between the Councils and the Fire
menof Allegheny city—the Councils refusing to pay the
outstanding debts of the Firemen, and make what is
considered an adequate appropriation to meet their
yearly expenses. The Firemen have become greatly
incensed at this conditet, end the Washington Compa
ny held a meeting on Monday night. and adopted the
following"salty" resolution*. Whatever may be the
grievances they labor under, these Resolutions aro en
tirely unjustifiable, and we venture to say the Washing
ion boys will very much regret having passed them,
when the excitement of their present contest wears
away, and their present wrongs aro forgotten:—
At a special rooting of the Wolihingten Engine
Company, held at the Hall on Monday evening, 6th
inst., the follis - Mg resolutions were adopted:
- Resolved, That the mean and parsimonious spirit I
labiehgoveralthe Common Council of this city, in ro-1
fusing to pay our outstanding debts, (amounting to
$214,) contracted someeight years ago, whilst we on

by their profuse liberality in paying Judge Irwin $5O
to go to . liatrisburgh to I revent the city of Pittsburgh

GREAT FLOOD AND TORNADO IN ARKAN
From Capt. R. Houston, of the steamboat Trident
arrived yesterday, we have the following hasty par
ticulars of a tornado which occurred about the
221 instant and of a great flood in the Arkansas rir•
er.
From the Linn Blittra to the Arkansas Post, a dis
tance of some 175 miles, the river is frightfully high
—being within a very few inches of the great rise of
1833. Destruction is along the whole course; planta
tions and fields are under water,and of course the crops
ate all ruined. There were only woe or two places
where boats could lend.
Besides this, a violent tornado had passed over a
part of the country between the Bluffs and the Yost—
the particular point not mentioned—which also did
much dniage. Houses, fences, trees, arid every thing
in its course, were prostrated; all which, with the ray
ages of the firma, present owe vast soma of havoc it
could not be ascertained whether there was any loss of
life or not; but the probability is that several persons
must have perished. Groups of people and cattle were
seen about on the higher points of land, but no com
munication could be had with them. We fear that
we shall vet have sad accounts from this quarter.
As low down as the town of Van Buren,as we lento by
a private letter of the 17th instani c the river was full to
ito banks, awl in articipation of an overflow, persons
were moving .their goods, Ate., to places of security.—
The banks and trees were continually falling into the
rapid current. On the 13th the river had ceased to
rise. and was at a stand. sod on the 19th- is. was falling
slowly.—N 0 Picayitsie, April Ott

REPORTED MILITARY CONSPIRACY IN
FRANCE.
The Courier Francais states, "although the re
port 0/ . 41 military conspiracy having. been discovered
amongst the troops in the gurrisnn of Paris, as an
nounced in the National of the 4th of March, gains
ground amongst the publiti, the friends of the Ministry

‘• The Nlinisterinteveniag journals do not in the most
remote degree allude toile arrests which have taken
place within 'he last two days in the 70th regiment
of the line. This news. however, formed the princi
pal subject ofceneersation in rho Chambers and at the
_Bourse._ As ready as the Ministry were to speak of
the pretended cetutpiraty in the Rue Pastourei, they
appeared to be equally annieus• to conceal what occur
red at the barracks of Neuville and elsewhere. It is,
therefore, difficult to ascertain the truth is t& midst .
of so much eontradiction. "The report of certain su
perior officers having been arrested bas been contra
dicted, bet there exists no doubt of the fact of a num
ber of non-commissioned officers and privates having
been committed to the prison or the Abbey°. It is
said that the conspirators had confederates in other
regiments. The military authorities are increasing
their precautions:the garrison is consigned. All leave
of absence has been withdrawn, and several councils,
fmtned of general officers, have been held at the Tui

BUSINESS OF THE COUNTRY
Our exchanges front orrery section of the countty,
give the most Battering accounts of improvement ieall
branches ofbusiness in the various cities, towns, and
villages in which they are respectively published.—
Everywhere the mechanical trades appear to be in a
highly thrivingcoadition, affording ample employment
to the industrious artisan. and increasing the business
of tradesman of all descriptions In many places, the
increase of new building* t his season is beyond all pre
cedent, and the value of real estate Luis increased rap
idly. These indications of peosperity are the more
gratifying, from tl.e fact that they ate the result of
wholesmne, legitimate enterprise . and indtistry, and
consequently, are healthful and sound ititliemselves;—
and not. us has too often been the case with us, the
temporary result of an unsubstantial and fitful impulse
of speculation, based upon bubbles and having nothing
real to sustain it. From our peat manufacturing die
nicts, whether of cotton, wool, or iron, we have re•
ports of unprecedented briskness and large profits; and
in many sections of the country in which manufactu
ring hits not been befinv ventured upon, large mills
are about being enxted, and immense capital invested.

LEAD TRADE
The increase of the Lead trade. for several years
past, has been very ledge. But that of the present
year upon any previous one, if this St Louis market,
affulds *efficient data to judge by. is most enormous.

Money still condones abundant, and the rate of dis
count out . of doors varies-from 10 to 12 per cent. for
good paper, butthore is little of that class offering, as
it.is readily done in B snit. Capitalists are rather at a!
loss for employment of their superfluous means, and
hence the disposition to invest in reel estate, which is'
becoming more evident...from day to day.
