prance:.
The new law against clubs has already
been put in force. On Monday the minis
try introduced into the Legislative Assem
bly a resolution for regulating the press.
M. Odillon Barrott states that it was only
intended as a temporary measure to regu
late the position of the press until the or
ganic law on the subject should be passed.
The new law is nearly the same as the
law of Louis Phillippe, and powers nrc
iven for the temporary suppression of
every journal attacking the constitution or
making an appeal to arms.
The number of persons arrested at Ly
ons, in consequence of the attempted insur
rection, amounted to more than 200.
Gen. Cavaignac said, "I fully agree
with the Hon. Gene, who has said that a
gieat country like France should not re
main in a state of insulation. It was es
sential that we should form an alliance
with some government, but the question
was, what government should we select
to whom should we address ourselves? to
Russia? to Austria? Those two powers
were engaged in struggles. We then
made overtures to a great power, to Eng
land. and in doing so, I think we acted
in conformity with the wishes of the Con
stituent Assembly.
It has been said that the English Gov
ernment only accepted our alliance in or
der to be able the better to watch us.
Certainly, England would not become our
ally, had it not been her interest so to do,
but that interest is reciprocal, and if Eng
land has an interest in watching France,
France has an equal one in watching her
that reciprocal surveillance is the basis
of all alliances between Governments. In
reply to our application England accepted
our offers of alliance, and she did so, doubt
less, from a wish to preserve peace. I
think that the explanation I have given
will be a sufficient reply to the reproach
made against us of giving rise to a new
coalition. (Hear, hear.)
The gallant General then stated he had
his part in the responsibilities attached to
the order of the day, voted a month since
by the Constituent Assembly, and explain
ed that in his opinion the danger was in
the reconstruction of the Northern Pow
ers, and in the annihilation of French in
fluence. It is against the two-fold eentu
ahty, continued the Hon. Gentleman, that
I wish to guard the Government. I did
not wish for war, and if I am a partizan
of peace, it is of honorable peace.

that engagements have recendy taken place
between the Austrians and Hungarians at
Karvoor Syred, and on points of the Waag.
Whilst some ascribe the victory to the
Austrians, others give it to the Hungarians.
GERMANY.
The accounts from Central Germany
and Prussia are of a much more pacific
character than hitherto.
Termination of the troubles in Schleswig
Holstein.
The London Globe of Friday, on infor
mation in which it places full credit, states
that the Schleswig affair draws rapidly to
a conclusion, and that the final settlement
mav be expected in a fortnight. Hostili
ties, however, are still carried on by the
belligerents, but without any important re
sults. The German Reform, which hitherto
has been favorable to the Austrians, says
that they (the Austrians,) have sustained
severe checks.
It is said'that cholera, dysentery, and
other maladies are raging in the camp, and
that the Magyars display greater enthusiasm

CHINA.
Joe Trouble Brewing.
We hear from China that the Emperor
has refused to carry out the stipulation of
the two treaties, which provided that Can
ton should be open to foreigners. In the
communication of Sue, the Governor of
Canton, to Mr. Bonham, he says the Em
peror had determined that as the people
of Canton had refused to reeeive foreigners
into the town, how can he force an oppo
site course to the people. From the na
ture of the proclamation, it is quite plain
that the authorities were prepared to resist
the entrance of the foreigners into the city.
Hut a great sacrifice of human blood has
been avoided, by Lord Palmerston having
given special directions that nothing more
should be done than report the repudia
tion of the treaty to him.
The large naval force which had assem
bled in the Canton to protect English in
terests, had all" dispersed.
Java Great Battle.
From Valley the accounts announce a
complete victory by the Dutch. The at
tack commenced on the 13th of April, and
after 13 hours hard fighting, all thefortifi
cations were taken and the Netherland
Flag was hoisted within the walls. The
Vallan, it is said, had 5,000 killed, &c,
and the loss of the Dutch was about 250.
It is assumed that the island will forthwith
be annexed to the Dutch possessions.
English Interference in French Affairs.
It is said that the English Government
has presented a friendly remonstrance
against the bombardment of Rome, and
has urged on the French Government the
necessity of coming to an accommodation
with the Romans.
In Parliament, the bill for the removal
of the Jewish Disabilities has been rejec

Father Malhcw and America.
The eminent Irish divine has written a
letter to the Mayor of New York, return
ing thanks to the authorities and the peo
ple of that city for their geneious reception
of lnni. Ihe lollowing extract is worthy
ot attention:
"I have seen your majestic rivers dotted
with richly freighted vessels, bearing the
teeming produce of your luxuriant soil to
far distant nations; and oh, sir, I could not
look on these winged messengers of peace
and plenty, without associating with them
the magnanimous bounty ot a brave peo
ple to analllicted nation.
"I have visited your busy ware-houses,
your thronged streets and bustling thor
oughfares, and have been forcibly struck
with those external evidences of mercan
tile greatness and prosperity which shad
ow forth the high commercial destiny that
yet awaits your already glorious republic.
1 have seen in the comfort and abundance
enjoyed by all, in the total absence of
squalid poverty, and in the liberal remu
neration which await honest toil, proofs
of prosperity, which contrast strikingly
with scenes that have often harrowed my
soul in that poor old country, which, trod
den down and oppressed as .she is, is still
the hii'lof jny birth and of my affections.
I have visited your god-like institutions,
upheld with a munificence worth- of your
migmy repuDiic, in wnicn you imitate at
an humble distance the mercy of the Re
deemer, making "the blind to see, the
dumb to speak." I have minutely in
spected their internal arrangements, and
witnessed; with intense satisfaction, the
philanthropic system and the absence of
all religious exclusion on which thoseasy
lums, sacred to humanity, are based and
conducted. I fervently pray, that "He
who holds in his hands the destinfes of
nations' may make yours worthy of the
favors He has bestowed; and with pure
hearts, pure hands, and sleepless vigilance,
that you may guard and defend, to the end
of time, the great charge he has committed
to your keeping."
Life in California,
A correspondent of the Wheeling Ga
zette, writing from Monterey of the disor
ganization of society at that place, men
tions the folio wing facts. Some of them
have been referred to before, but the partic
ulars have never been so fully given.
A day or two since, a notorious rascal,
suspected of several murders, and known
to be guilty of repeated horse and cattle
stealings, was caught, tried, and sentenced
to be hung, all in a very short space of
time, and without waiting for mu.c. proof.
Mr. B , a lawyer-, called a meeting,
which was composed principally of dis
banded volunteers, to prevent the execu
tion of so unjust a sentence by fair or foul
means. In the course of the evening,
somebody said there was not enough in
Monterey to hang the man. While they
were gazing and fussing about it, a file of
soldiers took the prisoner from the prison
to the guard house in the Fort, and next
day Capt. Burton went down with some
twelve or fifteen men as a guard. Some
sixteen rowdies, it is said, had armed them
selves with revolvers, &c, to rescue the
criminal, but on seeing the bayonets, they
dispersed. The man was hung, when as
they always bungle the matter here, the
rope broke, and according to the custom of
the country, (the alcade being a Califor
nian.) he was sent back to prison until it
could be decided whether to finish the bu
siness or not.
Some three months ago, a horrid mur
der was committed about one hundred and
twenty miles South of this. A month
previous, several men had deserted from
the U. S. ship Warren, at night in a boat.
The were fired upon, and one man severe
ly wounded. The rest escaped.
1 hree of them, with a disbanded volun
teer and somebody else, (the last two had
been concerned in some murder in the
gold mines,) went to the house of an
Englishman named Read, at the Missions
of San Miguel, and murdered the whole
family, including babies, servants, and a
midwife whose services were daily expect
ed to be, required. Immediately upon
hearing of it, Lieut. Ord was sent down to
assist in capturing the murderers. He
arrived at Santa Barbara shortly after the
people had taken them, two being killed
in the operation. There was no Alcade,
and the people did not know what to do.
Lieut. Ord pushed the matter, and persua
ded them to try and execute the prisoners,
who were accordingly shot. At oan
Jose, a man was attacked on the r&ad and
badly wounded. Three men were found
guilty by a jury, and hung.
These executions have had a good ci-
fect.
Annexation of ihe Canadas.
The subjoined letter from the hero of
Chippewa and Lundy s Lane, cannot iau
to excite great attention throughout the
Union. On a question such as this,
which the signs of the times clearly indi
cate, will ere lonr agitate the mind of our
people to its very centre, this emphatic ex
pression of opinion by so uistinguisneu a
man as Gen. Scott, cannot but be deemed
of the highest importance.
West Point, June 29, 1840.
My Bear Sir: The news from the
Parliament of Great Britain, this morning,
must I think, increase the discontent of our
neighbors on the other side of the St. Law
rence and the Lakes not a little; and that
those discontents will, in a few years, lead
to a separation of the Canadas, New Bruns
wick,, &c. &c, from the mother country,
seems eauallv probable.
. Will those Provinces form thorns ;lvesir
t) an independent nation, or seek a connex
ion with our Union? I think the proba-
KMitv i orpstlv in favor of the latter. In
mv judgment the interests of both sides
would be much promoted by annexation
the several Provinces coming into the
Union on equal terms with our present
thirty tatesi The free navigation of the
St. Lawrence is already of immense im
portance to perhaps" a third of our present
population, and would ue oi great vuiue iu

than 30,000 Custom house employers
the line that separates us
from the British Possessions on our Con
tinent. I am well, acquainted with that
line, and know a great deal of the interests
and character of the Provincials. Though
opposed to incorporating with us any dis
trict densely peopled with the Mexican
race I should be most happy to fraternize
with our northern and north-eastern neigh
bors. What may be the views of our Execu
tive government on the subject, I know
absolutely nothing; but I think I cannot
err in saying that two thirds of our people
would rejoice at the incorporation, and the
other third soon perceive its benefits.
Of course, I am opposed to any under
handed measures, on our part, in favor of
the measure, or anv other act of bad faith
towards Great Britain. Her good will, in
ray view of the matter, is only second to
that of the Provincials themselves, and that
the former would soon follow the latter
considering the present temper and condi
tion of Christendom, cannot be doubted.
The foregoing views I have long been
in the habit of expressing in conversation;
I give them to you for what they may be
worth.
Faithfully yours
W infield Scott.
i Towns in California.
Some very interesting letters from the
Presbyterian Mission in California give
us a better insight into the progress of set
tlement in that auriferous country than any
thins that has vet come to hand, rrom
them we learn that San Francisco although
greatly injured by speculation, will un
doubtedly keep its position far ahead of
an' other town, in wealth, population and
importance. Next to it in rank is a new
settlement, called lienicia, laid out as a
speculation, and likely to prove a capital
one. It is about fifty miles from the har
bor of San Francisco, with which it is con
nected by the great bays of San Francisco
and San Pablo. Its harbor will accommo
date the largest ships, which can lie close
ashore, n consequence of there being a
natural levee. Commodore Jones and
General Smith have recommended it to
the President as the best depot at the West
for the army and navy. On the Sacra
mento river, 120 miles from San r rancis-
co, lies Sacramento City, formerly Sut
ter's fort. This is the residence of the
miners, as is also a town called Stockton,
in the same region. The former, notwith
standing its unhealthy position, increases
rapidly. Sonoma, a Spanish town, lies
on a small stream running into the Bay of
San Pablo, and is the residence of many
great Spanish land-owners, as well as
Governor Boggs, late of Missouri, and the
head-quarters of Governor Smith. Mon
terey is another well known Spanish
town. Napa Citv, Yount's rancho, and
the head of Napa are all growing vilages
on the JNapa creek. iapa iity is ine
newest, makes the most pretensions and
grows fastest. Santa Cruz is a Spanish
town on the road from Monterey to oan
Francisco; as is also Santa Clara. From
all the accounts we have seen, speculation
seems to be running not in California.
There were towns enough in all conscience
before the breaking out of the gold fever;
but every fresh mail brings us a multitude
of new town projects, and every letter
written appears 10 have some particular

towns laid down on the maps, which no
body mentions now.
Affairs in California The Legislature and the
Alcade -Indian Difficulties, kc
San Francisco, May 1st, 1849.
At this moment it is unpropitious for
any one to visit the mining district, it be
ing the wet season, when but few work,
and those with poorer return than at any
other season. The fact cannot be gain
said that the Oregonians, who seem to be
among the most successful gold hunters,
are daily coming down with trom three to
fifteen thousand dollars, saved irom tneir
irninrs for the last fall and winter, be-
o
sides paying the most extravagant prices
for every thing to live upon. It has been
their practice to rise at early morning and
work late w ork steadily and uninterrupt
edly. They are hardy and capable of en
during, and none other can succeed.
Those who calculate otherwise must be
disappointed.
Some difficulty has arisen lately about
Sutter's Mills, between the 'Oregonians'
and the 'diggers,' i. e. the native Indians
of this territory. So far as I am able to
ascertain, the Oregonians have never for
gotten the Indian outrages in their own ter
ritory the murder of the missionary fam
ily some months since; and although by
entirely different tribes of that race, they
most cordially hate an Indian wherever
they see him. The story is, as related by
a gentleman who was a pained and unwil
ling spectator of part of the tragedy, being
then at work on the ground. About ten
days since, while some seven Oregon men
were at their digging, some rods from their
tent, the Indians went into it and stole the
only piece of firearms there, a fowling-
piece. They then went and attacked these
men, who defended as best they could for
some time, their position, by using stones
Finding they could not defend them
selves longer, the Oregonians attempted to
swim the South Fork, near which they
were working, and but one or two escaped
the rest were killed by arrows. Those
who escaped, gave intelligence, when a
partv of their friends immediately pursued,
killed a notorious chiet and oesiue, anu
captured 57 prisoners, and marched them
into Sutter's Mills, as the place is called.
The next morning seven of the nnglead
crs among the prisoners were brought out
for trial into thj open space, and at a sig
nal given by their chief, raising his hand,
they started up on the run in different di
rections to make their escape. They were
fired upon, and five only out of the seven
got clear. The Oregonians, whose broth
ers and relatives had been slain by the In
dians lately and before, (for many that
were caught alone have fallen by these
same natives,) sprang upon them and
plunged their Bowie knives into their hearts
and cut their throats. The Governor has
been -waited upon and requested to send
the dragoons to that district, and will prob
ably do so to prevent a recurrence of quar
rels. Your obedient servant.

Mortality in St. Lonis Statistics
It has already been stated in our paper
that the number of deaths in this city for
the week ending July 2d, were 903; of
these, the deaths by cholera were 019;
those of 5 years and under, 230. In the
previous week, ending June 25th the total
was 764; by cholera, 6 4; of five years
and under, 171.
The most remarkable feature of this ma
lignant pestilence is, that the greatest num
ber of its victims are from those in middle
life the period most.exempt of all others
from death bv ordinary diseases those in
the vigor and strength of manhood the
father and mother, at the period when the
young family is most numerous and most
needing aid and guidance are the principal
feed for the destroyer. In the first week,
ending 25th uit., those between 20 and 40
years were 251, or exceeding five-twelfths
of the whole number, and exceeding the
deaths ot the same ages by other diseases
nearly 8 times. While of 5 years and un
der, the deaths bv cholera were only about
equal to deaths of the same age by other
causes.
In the week ending July 2d, the num
ber of deaths by Cholera, between 20 and
40 were 330. or much exceeding half of
the whole number.
It is said that a very large portion of
the deaths, the conjecture is about three
fourths, were foreigners, badly provided
with the comforts of life, and perhaps
many of them not having seasonable med
ical attendance.
Some particular spots have been partic
ularly known as infected distriicts, and
have been nearly swept of their population.
At the corner of Washington avenue and
Ninth street, opposite to the late ground
of the caravan, several houses were left
tenantless, the disease having taken off eve
ry one of the inmates. In a part of the
city known as Shepherds grave yard, there
have been from 80 to 100 deaths by the
disease. The latter place is described as
abounding in aliment for pestilence. In
the former, also, there is a good accumula
tion of offensive matter. The whole sur
face cf the city, however, requires much
more cleaning than it has yet had. It is
not possible to do this effectually and thor
oughly while the unwholesome an -disgusting
practice is allowed of flowing the
streets and alleys with slop water. St.

TheFrknds of Ihe rountry PonisteJ--Its Ene
mies Rewarded
In giving a long list of removals and ap
pointments, the Ohio Statesman, with
great propriety and point, remarks:
" Those removed were guilty ot the
crime of being friends to the country during
the late war, while the great mass of those
appointed were Mexican whigs, and wish
ed success to the enemy in the very war
in which General Taylor gamed t..e am 2
that made him President. Of course the
democrats in office were the friends o'
General Taylor when he most needed
friends, and hence he could turn them out;
and those appointed being enemies, he
could reward. Judging the man by his
actions, he punishes friends to reward ene
mies; and although pledged against pro
scription, he chooses to lorleit his word
rather than allow friends to the country to
remain in office.
The course which General Taylor is
now pursuing, at the instigation of those
allies of Mexico by whom he is surround
ed, and into whose power he has thrown
himself, would blast the laurels even upon
the brow of Napoleon. Unfortunate for
his fame will it be that he ever consented
to a coalition so revolting a coalition,
the parties to which are a general who no
bly fought for his country, and the party
who voted against supplies, giving aid and
comfort to the enemy, invoking the latter
to greet this general and his brave soldiers
"with bloody hands to hospitable graves.
It is this monstrous and unnatural conjunc
tion which shocks and astounds the peo
ple, and will do more to prostrate this ad
ministration even than all its politioal faults
and blunders. JVashinglon Union.
31 r. Bancroft.
A letter from the London correspondent
of the National Intelligencer has the fol
lowing item:
A very amusing correspondent of the
Liverpool Albion, who communicates
every week a couple of columns of what
he calls Metropolitayx Gossip, gives an ac
count this week, of a grand entertainment
at the house ot the I urkish Ambassador,
: i i . , .i
in which ne inus introduces the present
Minister from the United States: "On a
couch in the middle of the divan, on the
right hand, were seated the two most re
markable and most remarkable looking
men present, after the Pacha himself,
namely, Bancroft, the American, and Bru-
now, the Russian Minister. Thev conver
sed together with great seeming cordiality

the-by, he is German born. He is a man
of noble stature and commanding port, be
coming his stars and crosses well. He
bears an excellent private character for
charity and all the domestic amiabilities.
An individual stamped more thoroughly
with the impress of a gentleman was not
to be found either in the ambassadorial
circle below or the vast circle above than
Mr. Bancroft. In his plain ind rather
quakerish cut black coat, ribandless and
starless as he was, without even so much
as a diamond shirt stud, he failed not to
draw much more of the attention of the ob
servant spectator than any of his glittering
fellow professionals around him. Appa

formed, with a somewhat scholastic form
of face, he ha all the polish of a courtier,

can put a calamity of that sort round hu
throat without looking like a billiard ma

not only, like DTsraeli, looks upon th

Flare cp at Ihe Bank of Tcnntuw.
We learn from the Nashville Gazette
that there was quite an excitement for a
short time on the 30th ult., at the Bank of
the State of Tennessee, caused by a per
son named John Owens, from Kentucky.
Mr. Owens called at the bank, and mni.
red of the paying teller if he could ex
change $1600 Kentucky funds, for the
same amount of Tennessee bills. Mr.
Read, the teller, informed hi
had no Kentucky funds, but if the amount
in silver would be an accommodation he
should have it. Owens assented and count
ed out his bills and while the teller was
counting the silver, Owens said he would
step out for a few moments. Shortly af
ter he returned and informed the teller that
he had found a place where Kentucky
bills could be had, and at the same time
demanding the return of the Tennessee
funds. To this the teller objected. Ow
ens became excited, and drawing a knife
he leaped over the counter, and placed its
point at the breast of the tetler. at the same
time picking up the pile of Tennessee mon
ey left at the Bank by him. Mr. Owens
was brought before Justice Raworth. On
hearing the testimony of several persons
who witnessed the affair, the Justice bound
Mr. Owens over, in the sum of 260 for
the assault.and S1000 for the felonious ta
king of 1600 claimed by the officers of
the Bank as their money.
