! NATURAL LANGUAGE OF HoRsEs.-
Both in the Ukraine and in South A.
merica, the horses pursue an orderly
system of political government a
mong themselves-which clearly
proves the existence Of a natural Ian
guage, by which they perfectly un-
| derstand the commands and wishes
Of their superiors. A combination
'of voice and gesture, which in fact
may be defined to be corporal ex-
preston, is always understood by ev-
cry individual in a troop Of many
thousands OF these spirited animals.
In South America, the election of 4
leader is certainly made by the whole
body; and when chosen, he is prompt
ly obeyed in all his orders for trav-
cling. In the Ukraine, DR.. Good says
that the chiefhorse in command seems
from all the observations of natural
lists, to hold his Office about four or
five years, when new election takes
place, the old general submissively
falling into the ranks, when the polls
are opened. Sometimes he is rec
lected, but not always. In those in
stances where there are rival candid
ates, and the decision is not satisfac-
tory to the parties, they fight it out,
and the conqueror then quietly as
sumes the command. There is not
"a single movement that does not
show a degree Of sagacity bordering
upon that kind Of intelligent charac-
teristic Of man. A large number Of
domestic horses, after being a few
months together at pasture, begin to
establish certain police regulations;
and ultimately, one of them assumes
dictatorial power. This, therefore,
implies some sort oflanguage because
without it, there would be constant
disorder and vexation; but philosophy
as yet, has done nothing towards I'M
ravelling the mystery. The same
natural language exists among the ell
ephants. The generalissimo of the
wild herds shows his power fearless
~, and under his power the company
readily submits.
What this language consists in!
whether it be voice alone, gesture
alone, or bodily expression, modified
by stamping on the ground, will be
to decide. 1t is probably /
that by the whole of them the word
of command is produced. While !,
grazing, defending themselves against
or securing their young, they display
more definite than mere
instinct.-Scientific Tracts. |.

The Washington correspondent of the
Journal of Commerce says it is probable that
slie Especial Message" of the President in re-
laton to our affairs with France, is in the
course of preparation. The correspondence
between Mr. Barton and the French Govern
ment, must, Of course, be communicated To-
Congress, together with the Message; aud this
will necessarily bctray tho suppression, OH the
part Of our Government, of the overtures OF
France towards uu adjustment Of the Difficult

Steamboat Burni.-The Natchez Courier
Of tho 18th ult. describes the burning Of the
steamboat Walk.in. tho ster, while lying at
the wharf at that place. The flames burst
from under the deck, almost as soon as the
fire was discovered, with such force that 1t
was impracticabe to save the cabin furniture,
or oven the books and papers, which with SO,
500 in money and 1900 bales Of cotton were
burnt. The loss, including boat and cargo,
is estimated at $4,000. She was lying in

piraticu brig with $50 men, and mounting 8
guns, was cruising in the neigl,borlood, plum

fitted out at Nassau to protect the inhabi-

THE BAHAMA PIRArE.-We yesterday sta
ted that vessel had been fitted out ut Mas
sau, N. p. in quest of pratical brig which
had appeared off that island, and from which
Ieprcda,ons had been committed on shore.
We learn from letter published in the New
York Journal Of Commerce, from one of those
on board that the above mentioned brig was
the .Nadacaska, which cleared at New York
about six weeks ago for Texas, with about
200 volunteers. 1t appears from the letter,
that the captain lost his way, and finding
himself in the midst of the Bahama Banks
and Islands, sent boat on shore, the crew
of which took arms and ammunition with
them, and as the inhabitants who consisted
principally of blacks, were, "weak and igno-
rant" they pi!lagcd them of sundry articles.

The French Trcaty.--Thc London Sun, in
speaking of the conditions affixed by the
French Chambers to the grant Of money for
Ahe payment Of the American indemnity,
makes the following sensible renarks.-
"Fraucc has right to demand what cxplana-
tions she pleases. But to demand them in u
way worthy Of herself, she must begin by
paying the debt. When the debt is paid, or
even when the government has declared that
France seeks other reparation for insults Of.
fercd to her honour, than forcibly to dcfraud
her creditors then will any explanation de-
iuanded by the French Chambers command
