Governor Geary delivered his inaugural address at
Lecompton on the 11th of September. It was brief and
pointed, and deprecated a continuance of the strife and
disorder in the territory caused by the illegal and unjus-
tifiable interference of other States. It promised to do
justice to all without party consideration, and expected
obedience to the laws of the territorial Legislature until
they were repealed. A proclamation was issued on the
same day, ordering that the volunteer militia be dis-
charged, and commanding that all armed bodies of men
should disband themselves or quit at once the territory.
Yellow fever continued at Charleston. Sixteen deaths
are reported to have occurred during the week ending
September 19.
The first new rice'of the season made its appearance
in Usarleston market on the 15th ult. ; it was of excel-
lent quality.
With reference to the reported difficulties between
Great Britain and Mexico the Herald says :
" Some time since we published accounts from Mexico,
stating that the difficulties between that Republic and the
Spanish Government had been settled by the Spanish
Minister, who had male concessions to President Comon-
fort. The last news from Spain informs us that when this
news reached Madrid the O'Donnell Cabinet worked itself
into a high state of indignation. The Minister to Mexico
(Alvarez) has been recalled, and his whole action dis-
avowed by his Government, so that matters are put in the
same position which they previously occupied, only that
they look a little worse for Mexico. We learned by tele-
graph yesterday that the British Minister to the Mexie in
Government had had trouble with the Como fort Govern-
ment. He demanded ins passports, and sent a courier to
Havaunali to order the West Indian fleet to Vera Cruz in
order to enforce the compliance of the Government with his
demands, with the nature of which we are unacquainted.
The present Government of Mexico is not popular in Eu-
rope, and we soon expect to hear that Franco has followed
the lead of Eeglancl and Spain, and that Mexico will be in-
volved in an imbroglio which may result in the most serious
consequences.'
