from their duties and because we can
Edetend our Capitol, we will go farther off
70 rally our forces, and to find out in another
part OF the empire, not subjects more loving
and faithful than our good Parisians, but
Frenchmen more advantageously situated TO
declare themselves for the good cause.
The crisis, in which we find ourselves for
the moment, will subside; we have the heart
consohng preseutiment, that the soldiers who
have been seducet, whose detection gives up
cur subjects TO so many dangers, will not be
slow in acknowledging their errors, and
they shall find, IN our Indulgence and in cur
goodness, the reCompence OF their re-
turn.
We will soon come back in the midst OF
these good people, TO wnom we shall restore
peace and happiness once more.
From these causes ne have declared and

FALSE INVOICES

For the benefit of Americans this is to
caution wholesale dealers, how they pur-
chase goods by the advances of British a.
gents. Several false Invoices have been
really sold to persons in this city, who af-
forwards obtained the correct Invoices of
the genuine sterling cost of the goods which
was from five to fifteen per cent. lower than
the false ones. Let the public-Iet the u.
States, and the honest IMPORTER, look to
these frauds, whereby the British agent is
enabled to undersell the latter and defraud
the two former. Perjury is crime liable
to severe punishment by the laws of our
country, and let these British agents attend
to 1t they WILDE punished unless they be-
come honest.

WAR IN INDIA.

Extract from q private letter, dated
Bombay, February 10, 1915 -" Lord Moi
IA has gOt himself into fine expensive
war-I wonder how the court of directors
viii like i. lie has Increased the Bengal
army, by regulars and irregulais, to TWEEN
y thousand men, and two OF three Ben
gi detachmcnts have been cut to pieces, on
the Nepaul frontiers. The last Bengal
paper mentions that whole cncarnp-
ment OF ours had been overlooked in n
valley by a great fall of rain, and the
thermometer at the time SO. Now none
OF Our native troops can stand such q eli
mate. The Ceylon government have de-
olared war against the CaDiayans. and
the Madras government was to have as
sisted them with some troops, but Lord
Mora had ord red then, not 10 go, as he
will require all he can collect for the com
pany's territories. Sir T. Hislop has ia
ken the field, and is to c)mmand large
force In person ; immense numbers of
troops have taken the field, and are about
taking it. 1t would, seem, that lord Mora
was about to depose all the native sovc-
reigns, and take all Indil into his own
hands. twill have no good. effect. The
interest Of money must rise in conse-
qlence; if it only continues for a few
months. the expenditure attending it will
be immense. The Bengal merchants have
been obliged to borrow cash at IL per
cent. TO carry on their house expenses the
cotton market at China having turned out
so bad, that the merchants here did not
get prime cost for their cotton. Indeed
trade in general is very bad"

FROM GIBRALTAR.

'NDfA AN
The ship Ceres, Captain CALLENDER,
arrived at this port yesterday from GibraI-
tar but, contrary to what might have been
expected does not furnish any particular
Information respecting our squadrons in the
Mediterranean. A report prevailed at Gil
braitar when Capt. c. left, that Commo-
dore DECATUR intended to unite the A.
merioan naval forces at Tr;poli early in
October. This appears rather vague,
however, as BAINBRIDcE would have
ranked him in Command previous to that
time. No tidings of the Epervier. A ru-
mour also prevailed there that the Dutch
had consented still to remain tributary to
the Agerines, notwithstanding the force
they had fitted ont to conquer an honoufa-
bic peace. The Swedss and Danes have
long been grumblipg at the tyrannical ex-
actions of the Ban nAry powers, but as yet
they have done nothing else towards free
ing themselves from their infamous tram
meis. The solid arguments to be drawn
from cannon La7v, is the best possible rea-
soning that can be made use Of in dealing
with those impudent Observation-Disclosures
our late conflict with them.
