Iae Freach Isdsmait;cation.--From cor tain indications in the Washington Globe, and from some other signs of the times, we are inclined 10 ihe belief that there will yet be some difficulty attending the final adjustment of the indemnifcation question between this country and France. A letter from Washington to the Journal of Con- merce, states that so great Is General Jack sons ennaiiy to Judge White, and every other man standing in the way of NIr. Van Duren's advancement, that to benefit or give an advantage 10 the latter. he will not hesitate one moment to sacrifice the 25.- 00o,000 francs and go to war with France.
 The N. York Courier and Enquirer holds to the same opinion, and says every thing will be made to bend solely with view 10 the advancement of Mir. Van Rurcn It says II Pennsylvania goes well for him. and snIngs look prosperously, the next annual

MuLIsH.-some lime last year we re- corded the remarkable fact of female mule belonging to John T. Kilby, Esq. of Snf- folk, having brought forth a colt, which was doubted by many, as 1t was deemed point settled that mules were incapable of propa- gating their species or even producing a cross breed-in short that they were oJsti- nate anti amatgamationisfs by nature. The fact, however was true as Davy Crockeu's rifle, and has lately been placed beyond dis pute by repetition of the phenomenon, by the same agents. Mr. Kilby informs us. that the same mule bore colt on the 18th of last month, by the same horse, and that it IS now by the side of it's dam in the pasture, where it may be seen by every body. lis well formed, and partalSes more of the horse than the mule, of course. We should Ike to hear the opinion of the learned in such matters. on this extraordinary. probably unique case-The mule is II or l2 years old.-.N;og3ark Herald.

Message 10 Congress will be satisfactory to France, without compromising tiie i,oiioT UT dignity of the nation, and peace will be the order of the day. But if Pennsylvania goes against Mir Van Buren, and ihis pros pects become cloudy, then the message will be such as 10 bring on war. The Courier and Enquirer thinks that no apology what ever, or further expiatation, ought to Dc made to France-ihat the message should briefly recount the progress of the French question down to the time Mr. Livingston wrote his last letter to the French ministry and left France, simply adding that that let fer was satisfactory to the Exeeutive-and there leave the matter.--The tone of a number of the administration and V. Buren journals is, we think, decisive against all hopes of peaceable adjustment of the question. But the Globe Is better authori- ty on the subject, perhaps, than ali of them. That paper from some time past has display ed any thing but disposition for peace. Now the Pennsylvania election is over, and the returns are coming in. Van Buren's prospects look gloomy. The Globe of Saturday had an article upon the French QuCStlOus ~ 1oPiCo ii0itA tAO HWY \ OtiA Herald, declaration that, '' the President intends to give the French a slap in his next message,n and says :" 1t IS truly American in Its spirit" Ii also quotes from the Paris Journal des Debates (chief ministerial pa per the tieciaraiion, '.affairs viii be amica- ply settled with France on the accession Of Mir. Van Buren to the Presidentship, and calls it ridiculous in the Frenchmen to sup pose that the American people are quietly going to wait til Mr. Van Buren's election for she money ill question:! It declares that the president will never recant truth! and that no American can think of trucking oi falsehood for a few millions of French gold, or n few smiles from the ingrates who have first robbed and then disregarded our honest Iclaims.'
 We believe the settled policy at Wash Iington now is--what 1t may be by Decem. Der, We know not--to studiously avoid ar amicable settlement of the French question. If war is the result, then Judge Whites vote against the three millions appropriation, is to De played upon. So We go.

D,earfs. fs.-Since the days of the famous Polish Dwarf Count Burlowsli, we have not seen such curiosity as q whole family of tiny personages, now exhibiting le7 Broadway. They are from Virginia--the children of tall, we'll formed parents. Fir. Hiram Walter, g years old, 3 feet 6 inches high, and weighs 43 pounds. Miss fioxa- ma, his sister, Io years old, feet l inches high, and weighs 28 pounds. Miss Catha rine, Is years old, 3 feet II l-4 inches high. anu weighs 27 pounds, and Master William, s years old feet ' IA inches high, weighing 20 pounds. They are all exceedingly well made, well proportioned and very intelligent. The young la'lies were knitting. when we entered the room ]; and we found Major Stevans, who Is at the head of the dwarfs in this country, making a morning call, and exceeding polite and marked in his attentions. We are convin- ced that, if the ladies of our city will give them a call as well as other curious persons, they will go away very much satisfied with sight so remarkable.-N. Y. Star.

 '.We lived on buffalo meat principally: I killed some feio, as did also bear, deer, and turkeys; but caught no wild horses.
 s.The sports of the chase I enjoyed, you may know; and assure you often wish ed for you to witness the in, .nense number of buffalo that were oflen in full view of the camp, from within few hundred yards td almost as far as the eye could reach.
 "I saw one of our Osage hunters ride up at full speed alongside of large buffalo COW, and kill her with d single arrow; ii was shot entirely through her; went in or the right and passed out on the left side and was lost in tue prairie, breaking rib in its passage.
 "i saw another of the Osages kill large COW with single arrow he shot it into her, up to within few inches (sav two or three) of the feaihered end; he caught hold of it, pulled il out and shot it into her again, when she immediately fell this, of course, was at full speed.

iiae IeFy Legislature Of Connecticut, al its last session, manufactured large num- Der of Tory Justices of the Peace. One of them, as we learn from the Hartford Re- view, was called from his home, few days ago, to try several delinquents, and, on his return, was caught in gentleman's door yard, stealing divers articles of clothing. He endeayored to procure his release by protesting stoutly, that he was drunk. We know not that we ought to blame the Tories for selecting such men as Justices. They would no doubt have selected better ones f they had had hem.-LouisriIis Journal.

Van Bpren in Mississippi, says: .sIt Is a singular fact, that not one of ahe candidates for office in this State asks for votes, be- cause he is a Van Buren man. On the other hand the candidates in favor of White, feel proud to acknowledge that he will have their support"
