IN our previous foreign advices, that the French

Interpose In behalf of the Polcs and that the for.
mer was directed to insist upon the cessation of
hostiiities on the part of Russia In fulfilling
'nese instructions, the French minister NAV have
pressed the Russian Ministry sharply as to have

1or' II tho report be true, it is the most decisive
movement towards general war in Europe that

The late Murder il Prince George-On Monday
last, five of the slaves of the late Mr.. Henry Lew
is arraigned before the county court of Prince
due investigation, condemned to DEATH 1t appear
ed on their trial, that so inpatient were the infat-
uated wretchcs to adorn themselves with their ILL
gotten plumber, that they scruplcd not even the
next day after the cruel deed, TO wear openly
articles marked with the initials Of their victims
name. This circumstance first awakened snspi-
cion, and furnished Il clue, which, being warily
and circumspectly followed led step by step to the
development of the horrid mystery, aud finally Ia
tue confession from the lips Of the culprs Of all
Of the dreadful particulars.
The time appointed for the execution Of these
slaves, we informed, is Wednesday the 10th
proximo. Their awful deaths we hope, will have
salutary effect persons Of their class and con-
diton, teaching them that "muTdcr, though it hath
no tongue, yet speak with most miraculous
organ" and that the penalty will as surely follow
the detection Of crime, as the "day succeeds the
night IHteHigeHccr.

New JERSEY ELECrIoN.-The Newark Sentinel
OF this morning contains returns from all the
counties, which show that there will be a tie in
both branches of the Legislature The House
consists of SO members, 25 of whom are National
Republicans, and % for Jackson The Council
consists of ID members, of whom are National
Republicans, and for Jackson. Last year. the
jackson party had majority of 20 in joint ballot;
notwithstanding which, in six weeks afterwards,
In the choice of members of Congress, which is by
general ticket, the whole National Republican
ticket was elected. Yet the Jackson papers speak
OF the recent election, which leaves them in the
Legislature some 20 votes out of Ga weaker than
last year-as a victory! New Jersey, beyond all
Peradventure, is an opposition state.

We have hitherto rofrained from noticing the
incendiary publications us fiom the north and
elsewhere, under the belief that the wisest course
we could take was silence. AS it is utterly impos
sible to prevent such publications. any notice by
the south, and particularly such notices as we have
seen, merely encourage fanatics to increase their
efforts twenty fold, and in proportion as they see
the panic they have produced. We request our
brethren of the press to reflect on this view of the
