ally, having determined the amount, we
gave our award signed by each mem
Der, as we'll as by our Secretary, for
such sum, payable at sixty days, at the
British Treasury.
All these awards were paid with strict
mercantile punctualty on the day nam
ed; and never heard single complaint
of delay, much less Of refusal to pay.
The aggregate amount exceeded l0,-
100000 of dollars, or 50,000,000 Of
French liyres.
The period Of time in which these
British spolations were committed, was
short, commencing in 1893 and termin-
ating at the date Of the Treaty, Nov.
10th, 1894.
The spolations complained Of, as
having been committed by France, ex-
tended over many years, and were
wholesale transactions, compreheDdlng
seizures Of ships in port, and confisca-
tions of property on the land, as well as
on the Ocean.
Who can believe that the amount OF
these latter, was not as great as that OF
the former? Who can doubt that it ve-
ry far exceeded them? From the ex-
perience which i acquired by careful
examination Of a great number, ] have
not doubt, that if an accurate exami-
nation of each case could now be made,
il would be found that the damage done
to our Commerce in the course Of the
wild revolution Of France, Occupied the
damage done by Great Britain in that
short period; and that, instead of % mil
lions, the sum Of $50 millions Of IL
vres would hardly be an equitable COM
pensation."
The Legislative power Of France
seem disposed to nulify the Treaty on
their part, and have once refused to grant
the sum stipulated to be paid to U.s.
Why should we not nullily it on ours,
by Withdrawing those commercial ad-
vantages which are not only stipulated,
but which France has actually chi joy cd
since the date Of the Treaty?
And having first done this, if we should
in addition impose heavy duties on the
import alton of French wines, silks, SC.
Sc, and apply the monies which might
thus be collected to the payment of the
losses which have been sustained by
our citizens, would not that be a wiser
and safer course, than resort to hostile
measures?
If Mr. Gore or MIR. Pinckney were
living, should have left this Office to
them, but being the only survivor Of
those scenes, ! have felt that this duty
devolves on me, notwithstanding the
neutral character which l held in the
commission. / am, sir, SC. SC.

HoRRm CATAsrRopnE.-On Friday last,
four men were killed and eight shockingly
manged, on the RAILROAD at the Big Ledge,
III Worcester. They were all Irish, except
John Ellis, brother OF the contractor. A
charge had been let of, when the workmcn,
supposing it to be entirely spent, approached
the spot to resume their labor, when a second
explosion took place, of which the above was
the melancholy result.
The trunk of one man, entirely divested of
its limbs, was thrown several rods from the
spot into large oak tree, where it lodged,
forty feet from the ground, and the body of
another thrown entirely over the same tree.

beat the Tory Prox by an overwhelming

A short time since battle was fought in
New-Jcrsey, between two pugillists, who
mangled and bruised each other so badly that
their lives were despaired of-a great num-
ber Of spectators were present, and it is said
that steamboat was actually engaged in
conveying passengers to witness the diaboli-
cal scene. 1t was with great difficulty that
the magistrates could disperse the crowd at
any rate Since then, the Legislature Of
New Jersey has passed n law, sufficiently
comprehensive and technical in its terms to
reach every actor or abettor of prize fights
within its limits, and annexed as a penalty
for such participation, Imprisonment not cx
ceeding two years, or fine, not exceeding
one thousand dollars, or both.
1t also prohibits captains or owners ofsteam-
boats from conveying persons for such pur-
pose into that State, under penalty of two
years imprisonment, or five hundred dollars
fine, or both.
1t further enacts that all spectators Of any
such fight, within that State, shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction
be punished by Imprisonment not exceeding
one year and one day, or by fine, not exceed
ing two hundred dollars or both.

We find in the London New Monthly Mag
azine, the subjoined notice oftwo accomplish
cd female writer's of our own country:
"Among the ladies who have distinguished
themselves among our relatives, there are two
whose writings arc in high esteem, Miss Les.
lie and Mrs. Sigourney, and of very different
characters. The former has the light and
sketching pencil Of our Miss Edgeworth, or
Mrs. S. G. Hall, illustrating native character
istics with free but amable portraiturc,- in
tales and incidents, and diffusng over the
whole so benevolent feeling that We love
the characters they represent, with all their
little failings. Mrs. Sigourney, on the con-
trary, resembles our Mrs. Hemans; her pic
lures arc of more grave and serious cast of
coloring."

officers from the ship, at Castle Garden, be.
tween one and two o'clock, mob assembled
at the gate Of the bridge, to oppose their
coming ashore. 1t was base ragamufiln
crew of boys and universal suffrage voters
who threw themselves in the way of the off
GERS, and assaied them with insulting excla-
mations--crying down with the Fronchmen!
"Don't let them come!" "Drown them!" &c.
&c. The officers were on their way to the
house of the Consul General, who resides at
the Battery, and the mob accompanied them
thither, to the number Of seven or eight hun
drcd. nj. lie Forest was Mt the Office of the
Consulate at the time, to which place part
Of the mob continued their course. Their
rude and ruilian cries were continued at his
house for time, and NJ. lie Forest repre-
senteG the case to the Mayor, whose deport-
ment on the occasion wassuch as might have
been expected from that officer, who is alike
a gentleman in his feelings and conduct.
The feelings Of these strangers-gentlcmen
themselves, and attached to a most honora-
bic service-wcre of course deeply injured
from snch a reception from the old friends
and allies of their own country. They knew
not what to make Of such a popular out
breaking in time of peace, and in country
Boosting so much Of its intelligence and or
derly character But the most satisfactory
representations have been made to them,-
and the subject is now, as we have reason to
believe, understood in its true light.
This being the anniversary Of the birth OF
Washington, portion of our local military
forces are on duty, and salutes will be fred
in the course of the morning,-in which the
D'Assas will join. At one o'clock, the Off
GERS of that vessel will land at the Battery,
and be received by the Mayor, who will ac-
company them to the quarters of Gen. Nor
ton. In the evening, they will attend the
Military Ball Of Col. Morris's Regiment.

fTRhNSLATION.l


In giving in your Journal Of Saturday an
article from the Tribune, mentioning that the
recall of Mr.. Serrurier, Minisie. Of the King
to Washington, arose from other causes than
the state OF affairs between the two coun-
tries, you say that this circumstance has been
confirmed here, by the public declaration of
an officer of the brig of war D'Assas.
You have been misinformcd, Messrs. Ed-
tors This statement is absolutely false
none of the officers landed on Saturday last,
the day on which the brig arrived, until halt
past one o'clock. None of them spoke OF
circumstances of which they were in fact ab-
solutcly ignorant; and ! am authorised by
them all to request that you will contradict in
your journal Of this evening, an allegation so
unioundcd. The erroneous impression orig
mated, without doubt, from the tenor of the
article in the Tribune.
Accept, Mcssrs. Editors,
the assurances Of my
distinguished regard.
