A Madrid letter in the Messager of Bayonne
says :—" The candidateship of M. Rios-Rosas to the
presidency of the future Cortes, begins, as I had
foreseen, to meet with difficulties. An important
fraction of the Conservative party openly reject it,
and other members feel a certain repugnance to
raise a man to those functions whose imperious
character does not allow him to maintain
the same attitude for a year together. The
Espana put forward the candidateship of M. Seija
Lozano, whom the Government would very will-
ingly accept if it did not fear that he might be-
come the cause of a rupture with the chief of
the old dissident party. M. Seija Lozano, more-
over, stands in the list of the new Senators, whose
nomination is expected to appear in the official
journal from one day to another. The congress
of lawyers, to which all of that profession in
Spain were invited some months ago, is to open
on the 27th. It will hold four sittings, and discuss
as many questions of jurisprudence. The _lberia
and the Novedades having been questioned with a
certain degree of haughtiness by the Discussion, as
to the tendency of some speeches made by M.
Olozaga in Catalonia, replied they were ignorant
of what their chief might have said, and that they
wouldinot accept the responsibility of his expres-
sions, when they ceased to be in conformity with
the principles of the party.
THE YANKEES' POCKET HERCULES, otherwise
" The Infant Napoieon."—An incident, says a para-
graph in the Washington Chronicle, a genuine specimen of
Transatlantic journalism, which occurred in the city of
Philadelphia in the winter of 1826-7 is particularly worthy
of record in our present crisis, inasmuch as it relates to the
early history of one who fills a position commanding the
attention and admiration of the world, and particularly of
our own country. will premise by saying 1 was in Phila-
delphia in the winter spoken of, attending medical lectures
under a distinguished surgeon, then a professor in one of
the institutions of the city. A son was born to our pro-
fessor, and the event scarcely transpired before the father
announced it to his delighted pupils. Scales were instantly
brought from a neighbouring grocer. Into one dish was
placed the oabe, into the other all the weights. The beam
was raised, but the child moved not I The father, empty-
ing his pockets, threw in his watch, coin, keys, knives, and
lancets, but to no purpose—the little hero could not be
moved / He conquered everything I And at last, while
adding more and more weight, the cord supporting
the beam gave way, and broke, rather than the giant in.

son—General M'Clellan I our young commander on the
Potomac. The country will see a prophetic charm in this
incident. Truly, ho was weighed in the balance and not
found wanting. May his present and future life stand the
test as well I Surrounded as he is by traitors at home,
while rampant rebellion is before him, I hear him amidst
the jealousy and envy of cavillers quietly praying with
Job—" Let me be weighed in an even balence, that God
may know my integrity 1" This beautiful incident of Gene-
ral;M'Clellan's youth was not written subsequent to the
Week's Campaign before Richmond, but at a time when
he was the great idol of the North, and had much patron-
age within his gift.
