STEAMERS BETWEEN HAvRE AND New YORK.
The French government have addressed COM
munication to that Of the U. States representing
that his Majesty intends to establish line of
steamers between Havre and this city, either by
temporarily placing on the rout steamers belong
ing to the Royal Navy, or by causing new ones
to be built. But thinking it might be agreeable
to the government of the u S. to take part in
the arrangement,-each government placing on
the line three or four steamers of450 horse pow
er,-he directed a proposition to be made ac-
cordingly Mr. Webster, in behalf of the U. S.
government, replies, that hitherto this govern
ment has limited its construction of steamboats,
to such as are intended for military purposes;
but he is directed by the President to say, that
the communication Of the French Minister will
be respectfully submitted to Congress for its
consideration and for such proceedings as they
may see fit to adopt thereon.

Sabbath morning came with the threats hang
ing over his head from some of the most prornin-
ent, as well as savage, of the Spaniards in Pen
sacola. Even the mayor had armed himself, an
nouncing his determination to assassinate the
Chaplain: Hearing of these threats, on the
morning of the Sabbath day, not to be driven from
his duty, he placed his pistols in his girdle and
went on shore! They expected him, and many
fierce glances and savage looks were exchanged
as he passed from the dock to the Chapel. He
entered the crowded Church, ascended the pull
pit, and deliberately placed his pistols on the
desk beside his Bible. Prayers were said the SER
mon preached and the audience dismissed with
out any disturbance, except the fierce look which
flashed from eyes full of deep and implacable
hatred
The Chaplain retuned to the dock through the
streets, with no projection but his own moral and
physical powers, and reached his ship in safety
He subsequently learned that not less than two
individuals had been posted, in secret places, to
assassinate him, but which they were prevented
from doing by his following another route hero

Mr.. EDIToR,-l am very unwilling on any &C.

times Of my very limited capacity; but when our
annual election day comes, and see our dignified
public tunctionaries take such an active part in
DISTINGUISHING legal voters, who perhaps have left
the town or towns where they reside, for few
days or weeks, on their own respective business,
think it is high time to look it, and to put an
end to the evil together with the office of all such
functionaries who would, contrary to Justice and
their oahs OF office, deprive our citizens of their
heaven-born birth rights, which the law Of The
land guarantees to them. | hope our Legislature
which is now convened, will look to it, and put an
end to the wide spreading evil. A FARMER.

Published IN Bouling Green, Missouri.
PROSPECTUS
CALLED

The above will be the title of an old paper I'm.
der a nep name to be published in Bowling Green,
Mo-, by the undersigned. With the change Of
name there will be NO change in the political
course of the paper. "THE RADICAL" will
pursue the same course as has heretofore been
pursued by the "Salt River Journal" 1t will
advocate a strict and rigid Interpretation of the
constitution as the best safeguard of the rights of
the people and Of the states, and as the only guar
antee of the durability of our union. 1t will op-
pose the exercise of all doubtful powers by Con-
gress, and as a necessary consequence will wage
an uncompromising war against a National Bank,
whatever name it may assume-against a protec-
tive tariff, as wrong in itself and dangerous to the
harmony of the members of the National Con-
federacy-and against the attempt to bride the in
debted states into the support of the Federal
Party by a distribution of the proceeds of the
sales of the public lands among the states.
The undersigned are DESTROYS to extend the
circulation of the "RADIcAL," and with this view
no effort will be spared to render it acceptable to-
the Democracy of this portion of the State
From them we have TO look for much the larger
proportion of our patronage, and we shall strive
to make our sheet worthy of their support and
of the great principles it advocates. The terms
of subscription have been reduced so as 10 make
1t one of the cheapest papers in the State; and, if
not the best, We intend that it shall be inferior to
none in every thing that constitutes an able and
interesting paper.
The first number of the "RAD1cAL" will be
issued on Saturday, the 9th of November, on a
sheet of a size Of the Journal but with con-
improvements. a large portion of it
will be in smaller type-thereby adding to its
appearance and to the quantity of reading matter.
The terms will be 81 to a club of 8 or more
subscribers, paid in advance. $3.50 TO a single
subscriber, if paid within 6 months, and So if
paid till after that period.

ORIGINAL

Its a source OF no little pride 10 the proprietor
of the Lady. Book, that he first introduced into this
country the plan of furnishing, along with u month
y periodical of elegant literitute, embellishments of
an Attractive and costly character. The first cngrav-
ing accompanying such "A work were given by him the
first mczzotint engraving by him, the first patterns
"i lace work and embroidery were given by him.,
the first colOured plates Of fashions were given by
him; thehrst music WITS given by him. These are
things to which he would not refer, if some of those
who have essayed to follow in his footsteps, not con-
tent with initiating all he designs, even the form of
his book, the size Of his type, and the colour of hi,
cover, had not f~oolishly put forward clasms to orr.
ginalty, and attempted to found a right to an ex-
elusive merit on doing that which they had borrw-
ed from his example. Bat what he has done hereto
fore IN the way ofembellishment to his book, though
1t far exceeded any effort Of those who strove to
copy his movements, cannot compare with whit he
now means to do. His arrangement for this depart.
ment OF his work have hsen projected on the most
liberal scale ofexpenditah, involving such an extent
OF outlay as has never before been dreamed of in
any periodical, European or American. As an evil
dence OF his intentions, he now states that each
number OF the Lady's Book for the ensuing year, will
contain, at least,

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

TNliE undersigned hopes that all persons
indebted to the office of the Salt Riuer
Journal, for SUBSCRIPTION. ADVERTISING, or
JOB WORK, will speedily pay up their accounts.
Ire amounts due are scattered over a number of
counties, and the cost Of collection, if he is COM
PEELED to call upon each individual, would in ma
ny cases, exceed the sums collected. Those in
debted to the office can remit TO us, through the
the Postmasters, and thus save us both trouble
and expense, and at the SAINT time do us a great
favor. We are in want of money, and we MUST
HAVE 1T, and it must come from those for whom
we have been laboring for the last two years.
