FRANCE. The Lyons paper OF Feb. 8, says,
/" we have already announced that the Dey OF
Algiers had consented to treat with the French
Consul at Tunis, M. Lesseps. The latter has
in consequence asked for the requisite authori-
ty so to do We question, however, whether
this movement on the part of the Dey of Al
gers is not intended merely to gain time"
The King of France has appointed NJ. Roger
Collard, n distinguished leader of the liberal
party, to he President of the Chamber OF Depu-
ties for the present session, from the five can
ddates nominated by the chamber.
RUSSIA AND TURKEY. Letters and pa
pers from the Russian capital, are to the
18th of January. The preparations for the
war were continued with as much activity
as ever, and unless the negotiations sue
ceeded, the Russian force to cross the
Danube in the spring, will be at least dou-
BILE what it was in the last campaign.
A letter from Frankfort, Jan. 9th, says
"We Yesterday received letters from
Lemberg, in Gallicia, which announce, that
since the arrival at Warsaw of several courl-
ers from st. Petersburgh, the Grand Duke
Constantine displays the greatest activity
in the immediate organization of the Polish
army, of which the personal equipments
and the materieI are perfectly ready"
1t will be seen by reference to the King
of England's speech, that no intimation IS
given of the probability of an agreement
between Russia and Turkey. An artide
from Vienna, dated Jan. %, says:
"The report that was in circulation he e,
that the Porte had acceded to the medat-
ing Powers, and invited the Ambassadors
of France and England to return to Con-
stantinople, is not confirmed, and appears
to have originated in a stock jcbbing spec
ulation."
Letters from Adrianople describe the
state of the Turkish army as very sckly
similar accounts are contained in the Ger
man papers in respect to the army al
Schoumla.
Accounts from Smyrna TO the 18th Of Jan
uary, state that the snow was then so deer
upon the Balkan that any movements Of the
troops was impossible. For this reason
and on account of a scarcity of provisions
the regular cavalry had returned to Adrl
anople. The misery of the Turks, whom
the Russians have driven before them, ever
TO the Balkan, is represented as extreme
and many have persisted ofcold and famine
! The Pachas who have stations of any i'm
portance are all young, courageous, devot
ed to the Sultan, and Jealous partisans o
the new military system. The Crane
Seignior is busily employed in bringing thi:
system to something like perfection, and il
separating the civil from the military adj
mnistration. The troops which were daily
arriving from Asia were detained only long
enough to be organized, and were ther
| despatched towards the North. The Turk
ish fleet by the first of May, it was assert
ed, would consist Of three three-deckers
three vessels of the line, four or five frig
ates, about ten briggs, with several galliot:

Tell prey to the flames, with the Abbey OF
st. Mary and thirty-nine parish churches.
At the end of $50 years it was again rebuilt
and the different periods when it was raised
can easily he traced, from the alterations in
the style of architecture.
The length of the building from East to
West was 5273 feet; it's breadth at the
East end l05 feet, and at the West, 100.
The height of the principal tower was 213
feet. of the two Western towers l9l, of the
body of the edifice 80.
Later accounts than the above say that the
( cathedral was set on fire by crazy fellow,
named Martini
When arrested and carried before the
magistrates, he made the following declar-
alton with the utmost sang-froid magma

that great thick cloud fell upon the cathe-
dral and extended as far as my house. AT
ter that thought ought to set the building

The GLoRIEs OF SLAVERY. We have
before us the Pensacola Gazette of the 10th
ult. which contains a detail of the business
of the United States Court in that district.
There was a case of murder, and one still
tcorse, a MAN named Peter G. Williamson,
was arrested for inhumanity to female
slave, who had absented herself on account
of being sold to him, against her wish. The
evidence stated that she was sought after
by Williamson and found, that she was
then tied behind wagon, by chain fast
ened to her neck by leather string, and
with her arms tied fast behind her that
While she was in that situation, the defend
ant, Williamson, ordered the driver of the
horse attached 70 the wagon, to drive about
the streets, and to whip the horse so as to
make 1t go fast, that this was actually done,
and IN this manner Katy was dragged, at
the iminent risk of her life, through the
streets then flowing with water from heavy
rains; until the people rose with indigna-
ton at such, lnhumanity, and compelled him
to desist from his cruelty; the slave was
then released, apparently much exhausted,
and almost Immediately became insensible
that Williamson was then taken before
Magistrate, and Katy to the city hospital.
Williamson was found guilty and sentenced
to pay one hundred dollars and cost. The
sentence was complied with, and probably
Williamson took his revenge by beating
the woman again.
United STATES (Phil.) Gazette.
Collision. Yesterday, the Supreme
judicial Court confirmed the verdict of the
Jury in the case of Eastman vs.. Cooper. for
nf ha Of
legged to have been loaned to the then firm
of Cooper, Gould & Robbins. From the
testimony it was apparent to the Court and
Jury, that collusive measures had been re-
sorted to, oy one or more of the parties, to
detraud and deceive his copartners; and
that the money had been loaned by the
plaintiff to Mr.. Robbins, the junior partner,
was admitted, for which note was given,
payable by said company-but, by reference
to their books, no credit was found of the
amount.
1t further appeared that the said Robbins
made purchases of tobacco to the amount
OF $4,000 and upwards; that the tobacco so
purchased was manufactured into cigars at
very considerable expense by him, in the
name OF said company, but Of which it ap-
pears the said company we're at the time
wholly unapprised, being for the benefit of
others independent ofhs copartners. Other
circumstances appeared in evidence, tend
ing to show that secret and mysterious
understanding existed between the plaintiff
and Mr.. Robbins, relative to the transac-
tons of the company. In consideration
whereof, the Jury decided that the plaintiff
| ought not to recover, by reason of certain
colluslve Arrangements supposed to have
been carried on with an intention to de-
trand. A motion was made for new trial
by Counsel for plaintiff; although there
have been already three separate trials.

Extract from letter to the Editor of the
United States Gazette, dated
WASHINGTON. March %. $50

WASHINGTON, March ", 1929.
Gentlemen,-The rumors of to-day are
that Mr. Eaton is to vacate the superin-
tendence of the War Department and to be
superseded by Mr.. Woodbury., the result of
the late election in the state of New Hamp-
shire being received as evidence that the
legislature of that state will appoint Sena-
tor of the United States. to succeed Mr..
Woodbury., who will go with the admins
tration. 1t is further said, that Mr.. Taze-
we'll will go to England that Mr. Livings-
ton has been offered the mission to Russia ;
and that MIR. Baldwin will be appointed to
the Netherlands. Mr.. Van Buren, is now
in this city, and will have to endure his
share of the fatigue and irksomeness of re-
celving and pacifying the numerous appli-
cants who are still lingering here to obtain
some of The good things which are being
scattered about.
1t is stated on the best authority that the
annoyance,to which the President has been
subjected by those who come to solicit for
offices, is extreme. These office seekers
are not merely importunate in preferring
their claims, but to press them in Il manner
which is the reverse of courteous. They
ntrude upon his private hours. and perfor-
ate the whole of the rooms of his mansion
to get IL peep at him. One of the effects of
this incessant siege, is to render him hestat-
ing and irresolnte; and it is said that i'm
Portant appointments have been made very
suddenly, and with scarcely time for coun-
sci with the members of his cabinet.
There is one anecdote in circulation,
upon good authority, which seems to cor
roborate this impression. 1t is said that
scarcely foul and twenty hours before it
was announced in the Telegraph that Amos
Kendall was appointed to the situation of
Fourth Auditor, DR.. Watkins the late in
cumbent had a very long and free CONVEX
sation with the Secretary of the Navy to
whose department that authorship is attach
ed. In the course Of this conversation, the
Secretary seemed'to take especial care to
remove from the mind o: DR.. Watkins any
apprehension in relation to his removal
from the office. 1t is stated that he em-
phatically requested that the Doctor would
treat him, in all respects as he had treated
his predecessor; and expressed hope, ap-
parently most sincere, that they should go
on tremendously together. The result of
this conversation was to free the mind of
the late auditor from any fears on the sub
ject; and his surpTlze on being superseded
so Immediately afterwards may readily be
conceived"

cred smoke issuing from chimney Just

me to reconnoiter it. | soon discovered
that one door of the house beneath had

four or five rooms on the floor. I was in

the second story in order to go to his barn.

THE NEW CABINET.

From the list of the members of the new
cabinet it will be perceived, that six, includ-
! ing the President and Vice-Presdent, are
( from the slave-holding and only two from
the non-slave- holding States. New Eng
| land is entirely excluded. This is unpre-
cedented, and we think, must be regarded
| by judicious men of all parties as unwise.--
| The free population of the six New England
! States at the last census was nearly two
millions and that Of eleven slave-holdlng
States was less than 100000. If regard
then be had to numbers merely, land this
consideration should not be wholly overlook
ed in a republican government,) there
seems to be extreme partiality in selecting
( five members of the cabinet from one of
these sections and not one from the other.
But aside from mere numbers, there are
other considerations which we think should
induce an American President always to
select some of his couusellors from New
! England. OF the great interests which it
! is the duty Of the government to protect,
! there are several which can be we'll under
stood no where else. The Fisheries, for
example, which contribute so much to the
wealth and power of the nation, are exclu-
sively New England concern-and if we
|
we find that two-thirds of our shipping and
three-fourths Of seamen belong to that part
of the country. OF the capital invested in
Manufactures, also, New England, it is be-
lieved, owns more in proportion to popula-
( ton, than any other section of the Union.
! The case of the slaveholding states is en-
tirely different. Their interest is one and
the same. 1t is a simple agricultural in
terest, easily understood and easily manag-
| ed. Why then should there be six men to
! represent it in the cabinet, while interests
equally important and more complicated
have not one ?-.N Y. Observer.
The appointment of Mr.. Moore of Ken
lucky, to be minister to Colombia in the
place of WIN. H. Harrison, recalled, must
we think, draw down the censure of the
| people. Gen. Harrison has but Just arrived
at the place of his destination, at an ex-
pense, 1.-THE usual one of fitting out minis
ter,) Of eighteen thousand dollars. No
complaint has Of course been made, 70: he
has yet scarcely entered upon the duties of
his office, and no objection can be made to
his appointment, sustaining as he does a
high character as a patriotic and public
spirited citizen. He has nevertheless been
recalled and another minister sent out in his
place, with the additional cost of eighteen
thousand dollars, making thirty six thou
sand dollars, expended upon minister to
! Colombia, in about six months. We hope
this is not an example of the reforming OPP
erations of the new administration. If this
act can be defended or explained, it con-
Germs those who have made it, to do so
otherwise it will be remembered and set in
a note book.-M Y Morning Herald.
