 From France she brings no news; Paris papers tO the 5th contain nothing, and the message at that time, therefore, could not have reached them. The English papers are completely filled with politics.
 The Presidents Message arrived at Liver pool, on the evening of the 9th, in the Inde- pendence. The Liverpool Chronicle thus mo- tices its arrival:
 Presidents Message.-War ,Cith France.- We have only room to call attention to the American Presidents Message-at least to that part of it threatening to gu to war with France. The message arrived last night by the packet ship Independence. Capt. Nye.
 In the city of London the RefOrmOrs have a great triumph-ll ,OOO votes were given, and the average reform majority for the four candidates is l4S6.
 The Tories at Liverpool have returned Lord Sandon. and the Reformers Mr. Ewart Sir Howard Douglass and Mr. Morris have been beaten. The election was attended with dis turbances but none, however, of any cOnse- quence.
 According to accounts from Smyrna pirates have again showed themselves in the Grecian seas, and five op six small ships have been captured by them.
 Result of the ELections.-From list in the Courier of Thursday evening. h appears that of the members already returned, 77 are Re- formers and 60 Tories. According to the list 1 of the Globe, there are 77 RefOrmers and 57 Tories.
 The Times has fairly given up the Peel l Ministry. It recommends an alliance between Lord Melbourne, |" in union with some of the most respectable of his receDt coIleagues'' and Sir Robert Peel. and endeavors to show that 1 the Ultra Radical pressure can only be effect ually resisted "by such an union betw cen the ! rational and moderate portions of the Con- servatives and the Whigs." What next !? Hostiiities at Washing ton.-The correspon- dent of Mir. Hudson's new Reading and News Room, writes from Washington, on Thurs 1 day, that Mr. Jarvis and Mir. Smith. both Jackson representatives from Maine, are in a snarl. Mr.. Jarvis challenged MT. Smilh, MT. Lyttle of Ohio, bearing the challenge; Mr. l Smith returned an abusive reply to MT. Jar wis. refusing to consider him as q gentleman 1 therefore, according to Washington chivalry, MT. Lyttlr challenged the man who did not 1 think his principal gentleman. MT. Smith l again demMrred, on the ground, that he had no quarrel with Mir. Ly,tle. and SD the matter rests; meanwhile, Mr. Jarvis is preparing the usual posting, history of the quarrel. Sc. 1 An exchange of hostile notes between two other members "f Congress, is also spoken of. 1 No names are given.-N. '. Amer. ] Excitement aud Outrage at Salem.-A few days since, the Landmark published an arti cle entitled Inquire at Deacon Giles DistitLe- ry.' which has created considerable excite lnent in that town. The facts which we sub join are from the Register.
 We have now most unpleasant task in re- cordng some deplorahle results of this unfor tunate publication. and the consequent excite ment. The editor of the Landmark, on be- ing called upon for the author, gave the name of the Rev. George B. Cheever, pastor of Howard street church. Intinati0ns had been given out that personal violence was threat ened by some ndi, idual who felt himself az grieved, but this was not regarded as serious, until Saturday noon, when the Rev. gentle man.. walking up Essex street, unaccOmpani- ed by any person, was accOsted near the Sa. lem hotel, by a MT. Ham, stout and power ful man, (the foreman, as we learn. of the dis tillery supposed to be alluded tN in the Offen- sive pubIea,ion,) who procerded to inflics many severe blows upon Mr. c. with cow hide, before there was any ettrctual interfer- ence. although a large number soon gathered around them. MT. C., it is stated, bore the inAiction without complaint, forgave the per petrator, and invoked the forgiveness of God.
 Further Disgracefal Proceedings.-On Sat urday night, between 10 and l2 o'clock. ten or dozen men proceeded to the office of the Landmark. and commenced breaking in the tower door with an axe. supposed with view of entering and injuring the office. The noise was heard by several citizens. who. with a public officer, interfered and checked the ms. chief Two or three persons were yesterday arrested, charged with being concerned in this affair, and are placed under bonds, in the sum of S2OO. for their appearance before our Police Court for trial.
 On the following day. which was Sunday. Mr. Checver preached to his people as usual.
 In answer to a note from the Editors of the National Intelligencer, Drs. Causin and Se- wall reply as follows:
 WASHINGTON, Feb, 7th, 1885.
 Gentlemen :-We have received your note of this morning, and in reply beg leave to re- mark, that the Report which we made to the l MarshalOf aur Interview with Lawrence, con- | tained such facts as we supposed would have l superseded the necessity of expressing an O. pinion m the subject of his sanity; but as some disappointment has been expressed by 1 the public at our not having done so. we there 1 fore do net hesitate to state, as our opinion, l that this unfortunate man Is laboring under l extensive mental hallucination upon some sub l jects.
 Very respectfully. your oh't serv'ts.
