4 BIC.AMIST.

The following is from Il late num-
Der OF the Cincinnati Wing. Unless
Mr.. L'Duc is particular y ingenious.
he stands a very excellent chance OF
being .ducked in Il horse pond:' -
Bichnel.
"A Frenchman bv the name of
IL'Duc. who had Il dying establish
Iment on Walnut street. absconded
night before last. as we are told. TN
der the following melancholy au>pi-
.ces. A lady arrived in this city.
sometime during Monday. and aSsev-
Grated. that she had 4 legal and ire
sistible claim upon the person and eff
fects of said Monsieur L'Duc. and
that he had left her sometime previ-
.ously IN the eastern country. She
having got wind of him. scented him
out. to his domicil in Cincinnati. Tn
fortunately for her success,it appears
that her liege lord had formed mat
rilnonial alliance with a spinster here.
some time ago. and who couple of
months since had been consigned to
her grave. Our Frenchman made
shift to repair his loss as soon as prac-
ticable, and before another moon had
waned, had actually secured in bands
hymeneal. Il damsei who had Just
begun to count her teens. They got
along tolerably well together for the
month prior to the arrival alluded to.
as having transpired on Monday last,
which circumstance threw them into
a nonplus. Ga Monday n; ght, L'Duc,
in company with his new made
spouse, abandoned the city; and in
the morning. those interested in the
affair. were ignorant of the direction
which the iugitives had taken; and
the wife who had travelled hither in
order to reclaim her husband. was
once more the victim of his runaway
propensities. 1t is said that L'Duc
has quite as many wives as good
Turk is allowed to appreciate-viz:
four. Now here is chance for gen
tlenen of the police land we wish very
much that they may succeed in ares
ting the gentleman of colors, and han
ding him over to the authorities of
the land for condingn punishment"

1t will be seen by reference to an
other part of this paper. that our diff.
ficulties with France are likely to be
adjusted through the mediation OF
England. This event is desirable on
many accounts. and we are gratified
in the belief that it is likely to be eflec-
ted without compromise of national
honor or a sacrifice of any principle
recognized by this Government. We
may be deceived in these anticipa-
tons, but we believe any measures
tending to widen the breach between
the two Governments. would be dep
recated by a large majority of the peo-
pie IN tins country: vet. IN support
ofrights acknowledged by the laws Of
nations, althougi we might difieras to
the expedlents for securing them. in
their ultimate defence we would be
a united people.

WHITEWATER CANAL.


Mr.. Morse presented petition
from sundry citizens of Hamilton
county. in favour of the passage OF a
law granting the privilege to the
State of Indiana to construct por-
ton of Whitewater Canal within the
limits of this State.
Mr.. Vance (Speaker) took the floor.
and opposed the printing of the peti-
ton IN some remarks: he was will
ing that it should be laid on the table
and betreated as other petitions were !:
he denied the necessity of printing it.
and expressed himself as opposed to
the policy embraced in It's PRAYER.
Mr.. Morse followed. ut consider
able length. in reply: he advocated
the policy "t granting to Indiana the
privilege which was sought for. and
enforced his desire to have the men,
orial printed. IN order that the views
otmanv ofthe leading citizens of Ham

which Mr.. McMechan and Mr.. Ne

RELATIONS WITH FRANCE.

No doubt now exists that media
ton has been offered between the L.
nitcd States and Francs by the Gov
eminent Of Great Britain. We have
reason to believe that the Executive
Of the United States, without consult
ing the Senate-We do not know
that it is necessary that it should do
ss-has acted on this proposition.
and that dispatches announcing its
determination are already on the way
to the scaboard.
We do not know any thing of the
particulars Of either the proposition or
the reply. Perhaps this mornings
Official Journal may furnish some in
formation respecting both. Mean
while, least, for diplomatic reasons, a
studious silence should be observed in
that quarter, we think it proper, for
the information Of our readers, to
state our impression that the prolier-
Cd mediation BY Great Britain. as a
common friend, has been accepted by
the Executive Of the United States.
Such an offer could not indeed well
BE declined by any nation not dispo-
sed to place itself out of the pale of
the Law Of Nations.
The reader must, however, bear in
mind that, between Nations, Media
ton and Arbitration are not the same
thing, Arbitration, accepted by both
parties, would, TO a certain extent.
be obligatory on both. The accept
ance Of Mediation concludes nothing
between the parties; but only leaves
the door open for Cancellation and adj
justment, through the medium Of a
common friend. interested, with all
the rest Of the world, in preventing
wanton or unnecessary disturbance
Of the peace Of Nations.
1t is much, however, that inter-
course between the two countries
has been t.us re-opened, through
channel so respectable as to furnish a
reasonable security that nothing that
is not respectful and conciliatory will
be attempted to be transmitted thro'
it from either side, nothing that is not
worthy Of the generous spirit in which
their mediation has been offered by
the British Government. Whilst,
therefore, in the new course which
things have taken, we discover no
certainty Of amicabIe adjustment of
our disputes with France, we see,
with the grcatest satisfaction, that all
opprehensions are dissipated of al
precipitated quarrel between the two
coun,ries.-Nat.I Int.
