|. Mr.. BIDDLE's ADDREss.---In the absence
Of domestic news Of any particular interest, e.
of the usual absorbing topics in the proceed
ings Of Congress, we have thought that we
could not confer greater favor on our read
ers than give them entire in this days paper,
the Address of the Hon. NICHOLAS BIDDLE,
delivered before the Alumni Association OF
Nassau Hall, princeton College, at the an
nual commencement in that Seminary, Sept.
3Oth, 1885 We feel it would be mark OF
very little confidence in the intelligence and
taste of our fellow citizens, did we consider
ourselves called upon to solicit their attention
to this very eloquent and sterling perform
ance, which has every where elected the
most unbounded appreciation. We are sure
there is not an individual among us, who has
the least tncture of letters, or who can ap-
preciate the union of the soundest COM
mon sense with a spirit of philosophy with
which few are gifted and power Of pathos
mcnce the perusal of this Discourse without
following it uninterruptedlyt to the end. In the
midst of excelcncics Of so varied character
we find it difficult to point out what has more
especially interested us. If we we're to Sc
lect, however, any portion of the Discourse
as more particularly impressive, il would be
the passages, in which the duties Of public
life are so powerfully depicted, and the char
meter and pursuits of the successlui dema-
gogue drawn in coors as dark as they are
faithful and durable. 1t will occur to our
readers that at least one noted individual in
this community, who has risen to a sort of
spurious distinction by the low resorts Of
stratagem and cunning, might have furnished
Mr.. Bidd,e, had he chosen to have drawn
from such subject, with most Of the traits
Of this political portrait.
But the passages alluded to are not insula-
ted, solitary beauties-they are rivallcd by
others of kindred excellence. The deep
pathos, and admirable philosophy, which mark
the introduction-the sound criticism or that
acrude abundance, which Is the disease OF

Twelve Days Later from
France.
ARRIVAL OF MR.. BARTON.

The packet ship Albany, from Havre, Dec.
Sd, arrived at New York Wednesday eve-
ming, bringing papers Of that city of the % OF
December, and Paris of the same date, CON
tanning London dates to the Both Of Novem-
Der. Mr.. BARTON, our Charge d'A fairs to
France, came passenger. We make the fol-
lowing extracts from the New York Com
mercial Advertiser.
The intelligence brought by this arrival
and the tone of the French papers, all indicate
that war with the United States is considered
probable in Paris, but we do not see any
thing which tends to diminish the likelihood
that the last message will prove satistac tory
and lead to the adjustment of the difficulties
In fact we learn nothing which was not antici-
pated; the pcremptory demand made by Mr.
Barton and his recall were expected TO cause
hostile preparations in France, and hostile
preparations have been made, but we can see
nothing to change the effect which the mes
sage might be expected to produce; if that
message was at any time likely to satisfy the
French ministry, we do not see that the likeli-
hood is at all diminished by the fact that ves-
sells Of war have been got in readiness; these
preparations were, of course, made IN igno-
rance of what the message would contain,
and no doubt in expectation that its language
would be such as to close the door Of ncgo-
tiation. Such being the case, we do not see
the necessity or propriety of assuming that
"France does not intend to do us Justice" and
of considering the question what hostile
measures 1t becomes us to adopt.
The Moniteur Of the first December (the
official organ) contains an ordinance appoin-
ting vice admiral Mackau governor of the is-
land Of Martinique, and another directing him
to take command of the squadron Of observa-
ton ordered to rendezvous IN the West Indies;
also Of all the French naval forces in the West
Indies and Gulf Of Mexico, and of all the
troops OF the colonies of Martinique, Gauda-
loupe, and their dependencies.
In relation to these appointments the Jour
nal du Havre Of the Cd Dec. has the following
remarks; we adopt the translation of the Cou-
rier a. Enquirer.
Wee admiral Msckau has recently been ap-
pointed to the command Of our West India
station, and the government of Martinique
This is an appointment Of which we hasten
To express our appreciation, and which, in our
opinion, indicates, more than al that has been
said heretofore, the late and unfortunate mis-
understanding which has arisen between
France and the United States. No one is
aware uf the maritime importance our little
sugar islands Of Martinique and Gaudaloupe
would acquire in case of war with North
America, as roads for the anchorage Of prizes,
and as places for the victualing and rcfitting

CoNoREss.-The proceedings of both liou.
ses of Congress on Wednesday and Thurs
day may be condensed in brief compass,
and, will, one or two exceptions, were not OF
remarkable interest. In the Senate, on We'd
nesday, the act supplementary to an act to a.
mend the Judiciary system passed, after
short debate, nearly unanimously: Yeas, 3o-
Nays, !: Mr.. Hill Of New Hampshire voting
in the negative. The object of this bill, we
understand, is to create two new circuits IN
the Western and South Western States, and
to provide for the appointment of two addlt-
ional Judges to preside in those circuits
The resolution offered by Mr.. Preston of 8.
c. to rcscind the recent regulation OF the
Senate, which appropriates the circular gal
lery to ladies' and to gentlemen accompany
ing them, with view of throwing it open to
the public in general, was adopted, as amend
cd,-Yeas 81; Nays IL. Some piquant and
not uninterestng debate on this subject took
place between Mr.. Calhoun Of s. c. and Mr..
Buchanan of Penn. which served to show,
that the latter, whatever may be the opinion
of the State he represents, adheres with his
accustomed loyalty to the powers that be.
On Thursday, nothing Of interest occurred
in this body, excepting debate on the cx-
citing subject of the abolition of slavery in
the District of Columbia, which arose on a
memorial presented by Mr.. Morris Of Ohio,
and of which Mr.. Calhoun objected to the re-
ception. After remarks by Mr.. Calhoun, Mr..
Preston, Mr.. Tyler, and Mr.. Leigh, the whole
subject on motion Of Mr.. Webster, was post
poned till Monday.
In the House OH Wednesday, some debate
took place on a resolution offered by Mr..
Jarvis Of Maine, declaring that the question
of abolisling slavery IN the District Of CO.
lunbia ought not to be entertained by the
House, and that all petitions on that subject
hereafter should be laid upon the table. Mr..
Wise and Mr.. Glascock moved to amend this
resolution by declaring in substance that Con-
gross has no rigH to legislate on the subject
and that all attempts to agitate it in the House
are calculated to disturb the Constitution and
had on the resolution and amendments; but
the House proceeded to business Of more
pressing and immediate urgency. The bill
appropriating eighty thousand dollars for re-
pressing hostilitics commenced by the Semi
mole Indians, and the bill making appropria-
tions in part for the support Of Government,
for the year 1896, were severaly read, and
considered, and ordered to be engrossed for
third reading. The bill for the relief Of the
sufferers by the late fire in the city Of New
York was taken up and explained by Mr..
CambrcIeng, and further amended. and then
laid on the table till the day following.
Nothing ofimportance was transacted in
the House on Thursday. On motion of Mr..
White of Florida, the bin making appropria-
tons for repressing the hostilities co'n'nenc-
cd by the Seminole Indians was read third
time and passed.
|. Both Houses adjourned over from Thurs
day to Monday.

The weather yesterday, was as mild and

with some that we have had.-The thermomc-

The Providence River, which it is stated has
not been closed for so long a period so early
in the season, since 17S0,) we are happy to
state is again free from ice, and the old line of
steamboats, which have been undergoing some
repairs, we learn will soon commence their
regular trips. The steamer Bunker Hill,
Capt Sanford, arrived here yesterday morn
ing at o'clock from New York, and proceed
ed to Providence. A single paper only was
received by her containing later news from
France, extracts from which will be found in
another column. The Bunker Hill is said to
he splendid boat and was built last season
to run between Hartford and New York, and
for speed was considered second to none but
the Lexington. She viii leave Providence

check the evils and fatal consequences arising
from the use Of the numerous and deleterious nos

so totally ignorant Of medical science, that it is
impossible the monsiTOus delusion can any longer

try. These pills, mild and agreeable in their ma
iure, should be kept in every family in case Of
sudden illness, for by their prompt administration
cholera, cramps, spasms, fevers, and other alarm
ing complaints which too often prove fatal, may
be speedily cured or prevented. IN fact, all those
who value good health should never bc without
them. They are sold in packets at so cents, u
