O. The Mobile Register Of the
4th inst. says---The New York CONNER.
cial is right in its disbelief of the story
that "the Frenckmen who had attempted
to extort money from their brother by abb
duction, and threatening to murder the
child, had been HANGED by the people
upon tree" There is no truth in the
tale. The Frenchmen are by this time
safe in Europe.
u 1t is stated in the Georgetown
Metropolitan that Spanish SLAYER has
been seized at Gibralter. and the incred-
IDLE assertion is positively hazarded, that
that place has been for many years a
great depot for the slave trade.
/ We inferred from an article which we
copied yesterday from a Mobile paper,
that some serious breach of the peace
had taken place at New Orleans. BY
the following paragraph from the New
Orleans Bee, of September =, it would
seem that some formidable commotion
was at least apprehended, if none had &C.
CURED:
"The United States troops STATIONED in
| this city under the command of Col.
Twig, arrived yesterday from their Sum-
mer soiourn at the bay of St. Louis, and
| are in readiness for the call Of the Exec.
utive authorities whenever required
Nat. Int. Sept. %.
Virginia never was so unanimous
We devoutly hope that the unanimity
caused by the villainous attempts a..
gains. her rights and tranquility will
obliterate the bad feelings and heal the
discord Of party. Already is that
| effect produced TO great extent, and
if We blame the incendiaries for other
things, we may thank them for this
consequence. If the wounds Of poli.i.
cal party are not healed, they are at
least greatly assuaged, and it is no un-
reasonable hope that men whom
sense of common danger has rallied for
the general protection, will end their
| party asperities healed, and their
minds disposed to forget former differ
ences and to desire future harmony
and concord. May il be so! and old
Virginia renounce those divisions which
have weakened her at home 81 paraly-
sed her in the general government.

! % There is certainly great uuanimity
on the subject of abolitionism ; and we
wish we could say that there is equal u
nanimity in opposition to any thing, and
every thing, tending even by possibility
to disturb the tranquility and union of
these states. This abolitionism does not
require convention Of the merchants of
the south; nor even hint at the dissolu.
ton of the Union or n non-intercourse.
A pretty tale indeed for the world to lis-
ten to-that few religious fanatics in
the northern states, 60 heightened the
south, that their fears run them mad. and
they sought safety ia dissolution of that
Union which alone could save them from
all harm, either fanatcal, religious or
political. We can all agree to drive off
abolitionism; but we cannot all agree to
dissolve the Union nor to take any step
which might even be suspected ofhaving
such tendency.
G 1t is stated that the Mississippi
Cotton crop of the present year, will a.
mount to 25o, 900 bales, worth Is mil
lions Of dollars.
o. We learn, the Boston Mer-
camille Journal of Friday, that in conse.
quencs of late demonstrations towards a
riot in Charlestown, a body of the citi-
zens have organized themselves for the
purpose of preserving the peace at all
hazards. They have provided themselves
with arms, and are ready at moments
warning to act under the magistracy.
Mr.. Brooks, one of the Editors of the
Portland Advertiser, now travelling in
Europe, says that six New Yorks would
make but one London. The whole of
Maine, crowded upon one continuous ter
rtory, and then multiplied by four. would
not make one London-so thickly is man
iostled by man--and such ia his love for
society How would Daniel Boone feel
here; he who could not endure the sight
Of his neighbours smoke, or the barking
of his dog ?"--Rich. Coup.
