The progress Of Gen. Harrison in his
journey. since he left this city, has
been q succession of civil triunphs.
From Philadelphia he visited Will
miDgton, in Delaware, where he was
received with every mark OF attention
and respect. Returning thence, he
passed across the State Of New Jersey,
where (says the National Gszette) his
visit was distinguished by every dem.
onstration of affection and respect
which the limited time allotted to il
would admit. His reception at Tren.
ton end Princeton was hearty end en-.
thusiastic, distinguished by prompt and
decided assurances of good will and
support.
AT New York he arrived on Thurs.
day afternoon. Ofhis reception in that
great mart OF our country we copy the
following from one of the accounts
with which the papers abound:
From the N. York American of Friday.
arrival Of Gen. Horrison.--Punc'
tual to the time last appointed, Gen.
HARRISON reached the Battery at four
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. The
weather, which had been chilly and
lowering all the morning, broke away
about that time, and the sun sbene ou'
upon the thousands congregated tore
ceive a distinguished public servant.
lie was received by committee, con-
Quoted 10 an open carriage, and escor-
ted by vast procession on horseback
and On foot to his lodgings. Arrived
there, he made the following reply, as
we End il 10 the Courier, to an address
of the Chairman Of the committee OF
reception
SIR: The sentiments which you
have conveyed 10 me on behalf Of ysnr
fellow citizens, and the kind manner
in which you have communicated them,
have only added to the debt Of graft
tude already owed to the city Of N.
York. This is no. the first occasion
upon which ! have received the gene
yeus tender of the hospitality Of the
city and the emotions which former
manifestations Of their good will exci-
ted in my bosom, can never be effaced
TO The laiesi hour of my existence.
cannot recollect, sir, without The
liyeliest sensibiliiy that upon my return
through ibis city from most ardnous
campaign, when ] was mos. anxious to
know the views which my fellow ili-
gers might entertain OF the value Of my
best services in the cause Of my coun-
ny 90 the frontier, il was my fortune
10 meet, in your city, with welcome
which al ouce relieved me of all anxi-
ety,end lsfi sn impression on my mem
oiy which no lapse Of time cen destroy.

O. On Tuesday evening and night
last, we had SNOW STORM here--and
had not the earth been saturated with
rain which fell during that day and pre-
viouS night, we might have had snow
almost enough to afford sleighing. Agen-
tleman residing nine miles east, informs
us, that on Wednesday morning, at his
residence. it was SIX inches deep-and
we are informed, that on the Alleghany
mountain, on that morning, il was from
EIGHT to YEN inches deep. We notice
while penning this. Friday morning, that
the South Branch mountain, also some. of
the hills in this vicinity, are still white
with it.

IMPORTANT FROM FRANCE.

The packet ship Rhone, from Havre, arrived yester
day. and brought the 9th ult the important niel
gencs Of fsaI settlement ofthe French Question. The
Chamber of Deputies in address to the King says,
aYour Majesty has accepted the friendly mediation
offered by the King of Great Britain the occasion of
the difficulties which have arisen with regard to the
execution Of the of the 4h July with the United
States of America. Yonr Majesty has also displayed
the justice and good faith of your policy, and expressed
your desire of seeing these differences terminated in
manner honorable for great nations. An important
document che messagel recently published leads us to
a hope that this desire tciH be speedily realized.
The following is extracI of letter, dated
PARIS, 7th Jan.-On the day before yesterday, NJ de
Broglie said Of the Deputies We now consi
der the affairs with the United States settled. We think
the Chamber will be Of the opinion when the ad-
dress der discussion.
The following some Of the opinions Of the French
press:-
The article Of the Journal des Debats the Ameri-
can speech very pacific and If il may be considered
in any way the opinion of the French Government,
is doubtless important
Whoever, says the Debats, is familiar with Presi-
dent Jacksons character will receive this Message
an agreeable surprise.
The tone Of the speech regards France is mode
rate and the respect shown for that country evident
and the Presiens desire be, that the quarrel
should be arranged in honorable TO the two
great nations which engaged in it.

Posr OFFIcE-This immense establishment received
yesterday nearly 10000 ship letters by the different,

citizens received their proporon-those intended isr

out the slightest confusion delay. Such instance
of despatch deserves notice, particularly the whole

conducted with the greatest efficiency and promptness
Notwithstanding the of the late Chief Clerk,
whose talents and assiduity in this Department were

Private Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Feb. y, 1886.
The capitol had like to have been burnt, so far il
is combusrble the other night without the Intervention
of the French. The flue through which air is
introduced into the Hall of Representatives comrnun
Gated the plank floor around it, and there would soon
have been warm work, if the document and speech
folders had not accidentally that night, happened 10 be
detained al the capitol an hour later than usual Talk
ing of speech-foders these and the speechmakers
the true illuminate of the land. They handle fami-
liarly all Subjects abolition French war; and what not
and take the most efficient for acting popular
sentiment throughout the country. Through them, the
country is made familiar with all the great subjects which
have been agated in this government since its founda
ton. The members have their speeches published by
subscription and the thousands of copies ordered,
sent to the capitol be folded, with strong wrappers
at the charge of the contingent fund.- l have known
an instance in which the folding of the speeches of
single member at one session, the country four
hundred dollars, in wax, paper, and Irvine.
The Globe mas frankly stated the whole account Of
the Mediation. Andrew Jackson agrees to take the
money, and, by way of Cancellation, vapors, busters
and declares that he will permit third power inter-
fere with his affairs. This is mediation with
geance. But, it will take all his resources and means
to earry on bis war with The monster; and Louis Phil
Ippe may have his hands full with Russia, may
escape war yet. The President makes no secret of
his determination allow of mediation on any points
heretofore contended for by him. He will permit France
20 back out bn not without tauntng her with cowardce,
and proclaiming his own glorious history
