handed, is too contemplate, in political
integrity, numerical strength, or financial
responsibility, to excite, Tor moment,
the slightest apprehension, as to what she
could accomplish in the Coming crisis;
united with France, Russia and Austria,
she would become formidable. Has not

Peninsula, and that part oil Tho compact
implied complete restoration OF the re-
VOTED provinces 10 the mother country, by
which the pledge would be redeemed Of
placing her on the footing Of her ancient
splendor--a splsndor acquired and main.
tanned by the enslave.neM of all South
America. The hints and Suggestions si..
ven repeatedly, OF late, in The London
papers, Of opposite politics, regarding
The affairs OF Suulh America, uniformly
tend TO produce the impression that plan
for the subjugalioD OF that county is no
longer q matter OF secrecy. We gave,
Yesterday, from the London Courier, a ju.
dicious article upon this subject, and we
now annex one OF similar import from the
Morning Chronicle, paper differing es-
sentialy from the principles OF the Courier
regarding the politics OF Europe.

persons who were concerned IN 1909 in
subjugating the Spanish part of Saint Do
mingO, is Immediately 10 leave the CONT
nent on secret embassy to Colombia, the
real object we cannot make known, but
which We can assure our readers is OF the
most insidious and dangerous nature. ! bis
agent is also known in some OF the West
india Islands, as well as in Colombia, and
we ebali be happy if,,by the present notice,
we awake the attention OF the authorities
on the plher side Of the water, without
giving the name OF tbs person OF whom it
treats. We can also assert that some
French agents have passed through an
English Island in the West Indies, the
better 10 disguise The nature Of their mis-.
sion, and that others have set out directly
from England. From The news recently
received from Mexico, and the open man
ner iu which France DOW endeavors to Ia.
vor The prelensions Of the Peninsula, we
are certain that that poser has been for
some time engaged, and probably in con.
cert with other powers, against The new
states OF South America"
ATTEMPT TO ROB THE MAIL.
We are concerned to state, that daring
attempt to rob the Great Northern Mail,
was made on Tuesday morning last, about
three O'Clock, Andes west of Powelton,
on the route 10 Milledgeville. A log and
some brushwood were hastily thrown a.
cross the road, and as the carriage ap.
preached, rifle (as is supposedly was dis.
charged at the driver, the ball OF which
passed through bis great coat. Hi. Team
became manageable, end ran some dis.

Iy, however, they did not leave the road.
One of the horses was so much injured
as 10 be unable to proceed from Sparta,
which we believe was the only damage
sustained. There. were no passengers in
the stage, but gentlemen who know the
driver place full confidence in the state
ment he has given. He says be saw three
persons on the margin OF the road, who
were either negroes, OF white men with
blackened faces The rapidly with which
the horses SET of, however, prevented bis
making a very close observation.
Mr.. Bradford, the Postmaster at Mil.
ledgeville, in pursuance of instructions
from the General Post Office with regard
TO cases Of this nature. has promptly Of.
tered reward OF Five Hundred Dollars
for the apprehension aud conviction of the
three persons concerned, or One Hundred
and City Tor the apprehension and such
information as will convict either of them.
