nounce the destruction of the city of Jeremie by
Gen. Salnave. After the capture of Petite Goave Sal-
nave moved uponJerensie, and demanded its uncon-
ditional surrender, under penalty of lust tint bom-
bardment. The British, French, and American
Consuls at once waited upon the President, pro-
testing against the fulfilment (.)f the threat as an
outrage upon humanity, and involving heavy losses
to foreign residents, but without avail. He even
refused delay for the removal of non-combatants.
The bombardment lasted three days. Many were
killed and wounded, including numbers of women."
From Mexico we learn that Edward Parry has been
empowered to act as representative of the English
holders of Mexican Bonds. Honorate Dominguez,
who was sentenced to death, has been reprieved
by General Uraga, and banished from the Repub-
lic. A bill for the abolition of capital punish-
ment has been introduced into the Mexican Con-
gress. Escobado has left the capital for Tampico.
Cortina will shortly proceed to Matainoras. The
concessions of the Vera Cruz Railroad Company
have been defeated in the Mexican Congress.
The Morning Post states that the re-election of
Mr. Denison to the Speakership will not be con-
tested by the Government, and our contemporary
anticipates that it will fall to Mr. Gladstone's lot,
as Prime Minister, to move the adjournment fOr
the Christmas recess. That the liberal party
will obtain a considerable majority at the
general election seems now placed beyond
all doubt, and it is generally understood

that, as soon as the necessary preliminary
business of the season has been disposed of,
the position of the Government will be tested
by a direct vote of want of confidence. The
Morning Herald says it is generally underatooil
that Mr. Bright is to be a leading member of the
next Liberal Cabinet. The Standard also asserts
that Mr. Bright is to have a seat in the next Liberal
Cabinet, and says ho is already recognized as one
of the official leaders of the party.
In the 'District Supreme Court, 23d Oct., the
counsel for John H. Surratt inquired when the
case of the appeal of the District-Attorney would
be taken up, and Chief Justice Cartter said that he
would hear it as soon as it came up in regular order
on the docket, and then intimated that he should
have time to prepare his brief on the merits
after the motion to dismiss has been determined..
On the same afternoon E. B. Olmstead, formerly
Disbursing Agent of the Post-office Department,
was released from eastoly on giving bail in $lO,OOO,

niously embezzling and converting to his own use

Saturday, killed one man, wrecked a train, and in-
terrupted the traffic. From Hays City, Kansas,
the news is to the 23d October :—" Colonel Car-
penter and Capt. Gorham, with the 10th Cavalry,
had a brush with 700 Indiaus—Cheyennes and
Arrapahoes—yesterday, at Buffalo Station. They
killed nine savages and wounded 30. Our loss
was three wounded. The soldiers fought des-
perately. A large band of Indians, supposed
to be those who fought Colonel Forsyth, are
busily killing buffalo, their squaws and chil-
dren accompanying them. They are surrounded
by the sth Cavalry, and a portion of the
20th. All the troops are ou the move. It
is thought that au attack will 13: made on Fort
Dodge in a few days. Colonel Forsyth is improv-

Carr. Col. Moore, of Gen. Sheridan's staff, accom-
panied the expedition. While the war rages an
Indian Peace Commission has been siting, when
Bishop Whipple of Minnesota reported at length
on the present condition of the tribes, and a reso-
lution was adopted asking Congress to give the
Bishop a hearing at the next session.
A correspondent from Naples, writing on the
31st October, informs us that Prince Humbert and
the Princess are expected towards the middle of
November to reside at the Royal Palace daring the
winter; the fete at Pompeii is postponed, waiting
their arrival. Great preparations are made for the

accommodation of the numerous visitors of the
season ; almost all the hotels are renovated, and the
Hotel du Louvre, a flue new house on the Riviera
de Chiaja, has been opened to the public. VeAtvius
continues moderately active.
Emigration has lately been exciting a good deal
of attention. Last Saturday the Spectator devoted
an article to the subject, commenting on the pre-
diction that the United States would in ten years
cease to be a field for emigrants. Although we
regard this as a foolish exaggeration, while the
primaeval forest covers vast portions of even the
most thickly peopled States where forests existed
when the emigrants first lauded, yet it is true that
Irish emigration is decreasing, and that even now
'there is a reflux back to Ireland -of more than a
fourth of the efflux. Bat the German stream is
increasing, and not only is it now in excess, but it
will rapidly take the place of the Irish. Between the
months of January and August of the present year,
it is stated that thirty-five 4t. howaud one hundred
and forty-six emigrants have left Hamburg for ports
of the Uuited.States. A vigorous effort has been,

14,646 of Government funds.
The latest papers from New York give the pro-
ceedings at the Liverpool banquet on the 22d Oct.
to the Afnerican Minister in full. On the whole,
there is not that furious outbretk of indignation

and is again being naade, to open steam communi-
cation between New York and Baltic, and, if
successful, a valuable class of Sca.ndinaviau emigeants
will flow in. It appears also that a line is projected
between Naples and New York, which would

that might have been expected. Mr. J otinson, says
the Tribune, " gravel the head of Mr. Laird, the
builder of the Alabama, shook it cordially, and the
two held each other by the h•lnd while exchangiug

nication. Already the Chinese are beginning
to take the place of the Irish on railroads and
canals, and with the ooening of the Pacific a great

some words. This fact will be read with a thrill of
indignation in all the loyal States of the Union."
It goes on to show that Laird, Roebuck, and Lord
Wharncliffe are unrcilintaat malignants, and as
such it is unworthy of an American Minister to ap,
pear in public as their intimate friend.
Oa Wednesday evening Mr. Johnson was the
honoured guest of the new Sheriffs, Cotton and
Hutton, who inaugurated their year of office by a
banquet in the Hall of the Haberdashers' Com-
pany. The words of the American Minister were
expressed in the same friendly spirit. • Again, Mr.
Johnson remarked :
" Whatever difficulties in the recent past have occurred,
it gives me supreme pleasure to say to you, as I have said
elsewhere, that they are about to be successfully removed.
In fact, that has been already accomplished; and by the
kindness, patriotism, and love which Lord Stanley bears to
his Queen and his Government, and by the same feeling
which I hope influences me towards my Government, the
rest of the dispute will, before the lapse of the present
year, be successfully adjusted."
Mr. Johnson then proceeded to show his Republi-
can proclivities, thus proaouuciug for the ticket—
" The Presidential contest of yesterday resulted, as I
was sure it would, in the almost unanimous election of
that man to the chief executive of the I) uited States to
whom we were mainly indebted for the suppression of a
rebellion which struck at the life of the nation; and the
men of America would have been ungrateful if they had
failed to place him in the Presidential chair, the duties of
which he wou!d be sure so to administer as to subserve
the public interest and biud up the wounds of a wounded
country."
Nor for the ticket alone, but for the platform also
as the following paragraph will show:—
"We have contracted an enormous debt iu money, but
nothing in comparison with the blood which has literally
mired every battlefield of our country, and whatever
rumours you may have heard, and whatever doubts may
have been expressed, I tell you with all the sincerity in
which a man can speak that every dollar of that debt will
be paid in what the world recognizes as money. Dis-
honoured my country will never be; but dishonoured in
the eyes of the civilized world would she bo if she failed to
meet all her engagements in- that which the world calls
money."

influx is looked for into the Eastern States. A
the immigration societies are to be so united as to
work in harmony throughout America, and a con-
vention formed for the encouragement of immigra-
tion and the proection of immigrants has lately
been in session at Baltimore. The returns of the
Government Emigration officer at Liverpool for
October show that during the month there have
sailed from the Mersey 25 emigrant ships, wader
the Act, with a total number of 9,289 passeugers,
of whom 3,649 were English, 298 Scotch, 1,989
Irish, and 3,353 natives of other countries, princi-
pally Germans. Of these 25 ships 19 have sailed
for the United States with 7,4:33 passengers, of
whom 2,192 were English, 1,742 Irish, 295 Scotch,
and 2,634 natives of other countries.
It is unlair to George Francis Train to represeut
him as " swinging round" to the Republican ticket,
after seeing the hopelessness of Democratic success.
Immediately on Mr. Seymour's nomination he wrote
a letter to this newspaper announcing his intention
to support the Republican ticket ; and when nomi-
nated for Congress, he merely reiterated what he
had before said. He argued that the Irish, through
the folly of their leaders, were always on the losing
side—that that side could not help them, while
their adherence to it prevented their receiving any
aid from the ruling party. Of course this implies
that their objects have no connection with America,
and it dies not matter to which party they give
their votes so long SS it binds the one in power to
further their designs. Now, such a policy may be
all very well for Ireland, but i 5 is not likely to find
favour with Americans, who, in truth have no sym-
pathy with the Irish. Train's address to the Fenians
of New York contains this pregnant sentence—
" Griswold is my partner in the Credit Foucier of
America. Huffman is not. Griswold uses Ame-
rican iron. Hoffman uses English. Break party
and strike for Ireland." Talking of Mr. Train, it is
high time that some arrangements were made for
his liberation, considering that he has been eight
months in prison. If elected, the gaoler will find
