In observing upon the siletice theForelgn , Jonrgulb yesterday, as discrediting the pretended p r ivate accounts of serious and ala'r'ming disturb ances at Strasburg!' and Itianci, tve 'mentioned Mentz, by mistake, inslead'of the latter place.-- Our Reader s will recollect that we 1,-,st week Poke of the squabble at Mentz as something not " lo re important thae our own riot at Preston, Sod accordingly we learn to-day that, with the exaggeration attached to it .by !he lncendi,t ties, who seem determined, it they cannot have teal, to have at least ideal troubles add revolii- Coos, with all the falsehoods about cannon having been drawn out, &c., this tremendous conflict seas Jr a Pot-house brawl, in which three of the com• batant s got black eyes or bloody noses. At for the affairs at Nanci, in which 91 Ex "lle"4 ate said to have figured, and at Strasburg!), l 'here the Garrison and the National Guard, ',up- Pwted hy the Austrians, are .reported to have 114 d so dreadful a quarrel, we ale now completely "ofittned in our judgment that the yank is, a i "liih *tor with even less of foundation than t tr 8 Q Atentztarle.

We trust we shall not be deemed egotistical in offering these censures on some of our fellow•la bourers. Our object is to dibabuie the public t mind, which is so grievously imposed upon in matters wherein it deeply concerns the country to be well-informed. ,IVith more of truth and knoWledge of the real state of the world, instead of error and misrepre sentation ainong us, neither the Paitizan nor the Demagogue would find it so easy to excite sense less clamour or iufLune popular ili36ntent. The hunger and distre s s of the lower orders affords a fine subject for joking to our Patriots.— The MorniNg Chronicle of to-day has an eliquisite jen d'esprit on '' walling-in the Thames and con verting it into soup,". to feed the stwving poor of the Metropolis. The soup is to be " distributed by a steam-engine," - and " forced down the throats of the paupers." In short, the article is very whimsical and funny ; lull of talent, wit, anal ilatme4r. '1 he only objection we entertain against it is to the want of taste in the selection of the subject. The misery of mankind does not afford the best scope for such sportive sallies, and it is scarc e ly decent in Writers who pretend to the love of country to turn into ridicule and laughter those sufferings which in more sober moods they represent as; t:O heart-breaking and overwhelm ing.—Elowever it the general wretchedness dues excite in them the miitlitul and ludicrous emo tions whence these facetious squibs sprint;, tar be it trom us to damp their jollity and enjoyment.
