REPORTS FROM INDIA.
The late dispatches from India are said !.
DC OF u less pacific character than those pre-
vicusly received. An -rhusual activity of nc
gociation among the Ii, i've powers has ihdu-
ced approximations that the emissarics of
France have, to a certain degree, succeeded
in estranging some Of the chiefs from their
connexion with the company. Scindea late
~ sent some valuable presents to Holkar, and
circumstances have arisen to induce suspici
on in the British government as to the object
OF the intercourse at present carrying on be-
tween those princes.
. 1he British residents have, in conse-
qnence, been instructed to watch the progress
OF their negotiation, and measures have been
adopted to guard against any possible hosti-
lity on their part. There appears to be
new and extensive intercourse amongst o.
ther ct the native powers, particularly the
RaJahs of Judporc and Jypore, bns the object

tanned possession of the fort of Islaanabad,

zcns of Ohio and Brooke counties, con-
vened by appointment, for the purpose
of putting in nomination suitable cha
racter for the Office of Senator, for this
district, at the ensuing election Moses
Congleton, Esq. was called TO the chair,
and William Mckinley appointed Sc
Cretary.
And after conference and due deli.
beration, David Chambers, John Nor
gan, Esq. Robert Hartford, William
Brown, Esq. James Fleeharty, Thomas
Evans, Esq. and William Mckinley,
were appointed committee to frame
resolutions suitable to the occasion, and
expressive of the sense Of the meeting
which were accordingly reported, and
adopted, as follow
1st. Resolved That, as the season is
now approaching, wherein we are called
to exercise the important privilege Of
free election, in the choice of those per-
sons who shall be entrusted with the di-
rection and management Of the weighty
concerns and interests of our country;
it therefore becomes the indispensable
duty of the citizens, impartially and ju-
diciously to select such suitable Charac-
GERS, as are of unquestioned patriotic
disposition, and competent ability to
assert and maintain our essential rights
as independent sovereign states, and to
promote and secure the best interests
OF the community at large.
ID. Resolved That, under the exist
ing circumstances, and critical aspect Of
our national affairs, (menaced as we are
with the injurious aggressions and im-
pending hostility of the great contending
powers of Europe, and agitated inter-
nally by the traiterous Vaccinations Of
some, and the blameable apathy (if not
pcrfdious sYmbathy) of others therein;
together with the detection of many
from the due assertion and vindication
Of our violated rights we can no longer
hesitate to pronounce, that our only de-
fence, and security against the manifold
dangers which threaten the peace and
independence Of our country, must even
tually rest in the determined unanimity,
frmness, and patriotism of genuine Re-
pubicans.
Sd. Resolved That, under the fullest
impression OF these views, and due con-
sidcration Of the important interests in

can be no doubt but it wifi pass, unless
asecond letter should arrest its progress.

The Emperor Of France has issued
a decree from Milan, dated Dec. 18th,
1907, by which he subjects to seizure
and condemnation, every vessel " to
whatsoever nation it may belong, which
shall have suffered the visit Of an Eng
glish vessel, or shall have made voy-
age to England, or paid any duty to the
English government" This decree also
declares the British islands in state Of
blockade, and subjects to capture und
condemnation, every vessel coming
from English ports.
The House of Representatives OF Ken
tucky have passed a resolution request
ing Congress to inquire into the con-
duct of Judge lines, relative to Spanish
intrigues IN the western country.
The origin, extent, and adjustment
of the recent differences with Algicrs,
are satisfactorily explained in the fol-
lowing letter from consul Lear to the
American consul at Malaga
ALSier6, December 16, 1907.
SIR,
You have undoubtedly, before this,
heard that three American vessels bad
been detained by a lrigate of this place,
in consequence of the anuuitics for two
years past not having been paid by the
United States in Naval Stores, as stipu-
lated by Treaty, Notwithstanding the a.
mount thereof has been repeatedly offer

These vessels are, the ship Eagle, Of

that l have adjusted this business with
the Dev, who has received the amount
Of two years annuitics due in cash, and
the vessels are liberated and that our
commerce will receive no further mo-
lestation from the cruisers of this Re-
gency.
pray you will have the goodness to
give this as much publicity as possible,
for the benefit of all concerned.

P.S We have this moment heard by
an arrival from Leghorn that the schoo-
ncr before mentioned has arrived In
Naples, having been retaken by the cap
tain and part of her crew left on board,
who threw overheard four of the cap
tors, and put four others in the boat to
shift for themselves.
have myself received no advice Of
this, and on applica ion to the Dey, who
first sent me information, he assures me
that it shall not alter the arrangement
made yesterday, and that our vessels
may navigate without fear or molesta-
ton.
At present all their cruisers are in
port.

Recently, Mr. Brougham was retained
at the express Recommendation Of ford Gren-
wills, as counsel for the petitioners against
the Orders of Council, and in that capacity,
delivered in the House of Commons, the en-
suing speech, which, throughout Britain has
been read, admired and approved.
This speech. We presume, must be e.
qually interesting to this country, as treating
ct topics in which every portion of our COM
munlty has a lively and proximate concern.
1t exhibits pretty nearly the same views as
Mir. Baring's admirable pamphlet. but being
a subsequent production, it has added to the
matter, which the industrious research of his
predecessor had collected many new proofs
and illustrations supplied by his own sources
OF information, and the thorough examinati-
on OF the subject held at the bar of the House
OF Commons
The neutral rights of America have, in
deed, found in Mr.. Brougham most inteli
gent and able defender If they be not ul-
timately recognized, it cannot be imputed to
Iany deficiency in their vindication. This
speech alone furnishes them with shield
round and complete.
" MIR. Brougham is now in the twenty
eighth year of his age He has already at
tanned very great consideration among the
leading men Of his country. To complete his
reputation, it only remains for him to ente
Parliament, which we understand he will
shortly DO When this event shall happen
we predict, from his various and profound
knowledge, especially of the complicated hs-
Cal and commercial interests of the British
empire, combined with an eloquence, at once
strong copious and embellished, that he will
be pronounced the most able debater, and
accomplished statesman of that great and
enlightened assembly,"
