SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE

SEVEN DAlS > LA II Eh rhOM EOhOT IL.
English papers to Jan. ead have been
received at Eoston.
The papers give no additional light
on the progress Of the French Indemni-
ty. The controversy is treated as a dit-
ficulty that ONCE existed, but as now ab-
solutely settled.
Mr. Bois le Comte has been appoint
ed French Amb assador to the U. States,
but he will not set out for this country
until the friendly relations shall have
been restored in due form.
A Paris paper of the 18th January
says, that the sad intelligence from this
country Of the melancholy fire in New
York, had cast gloom over the English
American, and portion Of the French
population. The expression Of sympa-
thy which the melancholy catastrophe
thus spontaneously called was universal
as the feeling was profound. Subscrip.
tons in aid of the more INDECENT suffer
ers were Immediately opened, both by
French and American gentlemen.
The trial Of Fiesch was to commence
on the 3Oth.
The accounts from Spain are not i'm
'portant.
Mr.. Wilkins, American Ambassador
at the Court Of Russia, had arrived al
Berlin. The monied community of Lon
don have been concerning such meas
ures as have appeared necessary in con-
sequence Of the late fire in New York
as there is little doubt that a very con-
siderable amount Of bills drawn in Great
Britain on New York will be presently
returned on the drawers under protest.
Two important appointme had been
made, viz: Sir Charles Pepeys to be
Lord Chancellor, and Mr.. Pickersteth
10 be Master Of the Rolls.
The new Lord Chancellor and the
Master Of the Rolls, have been raised to
the Peerage, the former by the title OF
Baron Cotienham, and the latter of Ba-
ron Langdale.
The accounts from Paris are to the
18th. The address to the King was
voted by the Chamber of Deputies by "a
majority of GAG to al. On the 10Th,
the Minister Of Finance laid before the
Chamber, his exposition Of the state of
the finances, by which he showed that
the revenue was improving.
MIR. Human, Minister of Finance,
resigned after he had presented the
budget, in consequence of disagree
ment between him and his colleagues,
in regard TO the reduction Of the 5 per
cents.-The Count d'Argout was ap-
pointed as his successor.

STATE OF FEELING IN OHIO.
Correspondence Of the ". Y. Comr. & EnG]

On Monday, the Odd inst. the Wing
Convention was to meet at Columbus, in
Ohio. Letters received this morning
state, that at 4 o'clock in the afternoon
OF that day, they wsre at session in the
open air, rs there was no building suffi /.
ciently large 10 contain them, and in
which they could transact their business.
II was supposed that the delegates there
in attendance amounted to Two THOU
SAND! The zeal eyinced was oc the
most cheering character: n zeal which
il is believed will pervade the whole
West and South West, in the cnu.e Of
the people, against extravagnnce, cor.
ruption, and usurpation.

Gov. TAzEwELL, Of Virginia, with a
spirit of independence becoming his high
character, has refused to be the medium
of communicating the degrading resolu-
tons Of the State Legislature, calling
upon their Senators in Congress to aid
in expunging from the Journal Of the Sc
nate, the resolution condemning the
Presidents interference with the depo-
sites. The House Of delegates has in
consequence requested its Speaker to be
the organ Of communication to the Sena-
tors. We regret to learn, that il is but
too probable that Mr.. Tyler will so Gar
respect these proceedings as to resign
his seat. His colleague, Mr.. Leigh,
however, holds different OPTION, and
il is believed will treat the instructions
in the manner they merit.

OF OUR DIFFICUL.
TIES WITH FRANCE.


We publish to-day on our first page
the Presidents Message and the letter
of Mr.. Bankhead TO the Secretary ol
State, which comprize all the most in
teres,ing facts communicated by the Pre-
sident to Congress as to our settlement
with France. When the message and
documents had been read in the Senate,
Mr.. Clay, on moving that they be print-
ed and laid on the table, made the re-
marks which appear in preceding COL
umn. A correspondent of the N. Y.
American, at Washington, gives us the
impression made by this seasonable and
fearless exposition on the Jackson Sena-
tors, who might well be mute, when their
memories were freshened by such an un-
welc ONE reminiscence Of their own past
conduct Us TO the very point in controver-
sy, which had created SO much needless
difficulty with France.
Correspondence Of The ": Y. .4merican.l
MIR. CLAY, after reading the message +,
sc. took occasion 70 congratulate, as
we'll he might, the Senate for their share
in producing the happy termination thus
put to this controversy, and commented
severely on the miserable sophistry, by
which Mr.. Van Buren and his friends
had endeavored to persuade the country
Of the inviolability of the principle, that
it was an indignity to give any explana-
ton of Presidential commune alton to
Cong ress--whent that principle had been
over and over again violated by Mr.. V.
b. particularly in his instructions to MIR.

cannot describe the countenances ofthose
most interested in this disclosure, when
it was so Unexpectedly made TO the
crowded and excited audience, which
was then in presence. 1t was gall and
wormwood and recurrence tO these
facts best explains the dulcet tone Of the
Presidents mess ge, which, however
bland and mild in terms. fails not to have
its object, the assault on the public trea-
sure, at heart. ''Truth is mighty and
will prevail" No man rose to gainsay
one single assertion made by the Sena-
tor from Kentucky. Benton, Cuthbert,
Hubbard, and others, literally rose in
excitement from their places. The mat
ter, however, was too palpable; it was
made too manifest for them to risk the
conse quences Of further discussion
They deemed that it was best let alone |!
and so you may proclaim to the world
that in the face Of the household troops,
the Senate's agency in refusing to sane
ton the Presidents measures was open
| ly asserted, and not contradictsd, to have
been the direct means Of terminating the
controversy!

FRIDAY MoRNINe, SEPTEMBER 80, 1886.
TO the Patrons of the Pbnnix.


This number of the Phoenix is the last which
will be issued by the present publisbers--they
having transferred their interest therein to
Messrs. G. G. Hall and J. c. Holbrook of this
place, and they, we are informed, have con-
veycd it to Mr. e. c. Purdy Of Boston, former
ly the editor of paper in Rutland and another
in Manchester in this State.
In our political course we have endcavor-
ed to follow the dictates of an honest, enquir-
ing conscience; and we have found, as all find
who try that experiment, that it brings us the
hearty appreciation of some, and the bitter CEN
sure of Others. We have not endeavored to
guide or direct public opinion We have not
supposed it necessary that every one of our
readers should take his cue from the opinions
of an editor: But we have published free pa
per, open TO the expression not only of our own
opinions but to the thoughts of all our cores
pondents. This it seems is not enough. To
give satisfaction TO portion of our readers the
editors must reverence the statesmanlike merits
of General Harrison more than we are able to
do, and must discover in Mr. Van Buren, certain
intrigue and mcanncss which we have besn
unable TO detect
Those who disapprove our course are so
confident of their own correctness that they
prefer to assume our places, aud TO discharge
what have heretofore been our duties, better
doubtless in their own opinion, than we
have done them. We ,rish them success an
their search after truth. If our views are too
much tinctured with democracy, they will be
able to point out and correct our errors. The
political institutions Of our country are founded
/ in the hope that time and public opinion will
correct all mistakes; and we cheeriully leave il
10 be settled between our patrons and our sue
cessor how far we have been wrong.
1 For ourselves we firmly believe, and every
hour adds strength to the conviction, that tn,
true american political faith is the creed o.
Thomas Jefferson. Tempting projects may
for a time divert the country from the hones
simplicity Of that great apostle of Liberty; bu
the very difficulties aud dangers Of such exper
imcnts will bring MS back to him and his opin
ions. If we understand the signs of the pre-
sent time there is in the community wide
spread, deep-rooted purpose to return not mere
ly to the name but TO the principles Of Democ
racy. We venture TO predict that there vii
be less lcgislaton-less special legislation; III,
constitution will be strictly construed Oh,
equality of the people will BE- asserted less tim
idly, and watched more carefully than it ha
been. We repeat our belief that there is
great tide in public opinion which is leading L
these results, -snd it is a current which W
could not resist if we would, and would not
we could-for we believe it TO be the cause 0
humanity, Of truth and of right.
