AMERICAN STAGE DEBTs.-The Lon,
don Observer Of the 3lst July states that
the gentlemen atthe Hague who signed
the petitions to the American Charge
d 'Atiaires, respecting the non-payment 81
the interest Of the North American loans
have recently received an answer from
the Charge d 'Afiaires, in the name Of his
Government. The answer Informed them
that Wide the President fully feels the
force of the obligation which the States
have upon hems,lves, in contracting iheA
debts, and is fully persuaded that their
obligations will be- fulfilled at no very dis.
tant period, nevertheless, ho (the Charge
d'Atl'aiIes) is most strictly enjoined by
the Secretary Of State to declare, 10 the
most formal and positive terms, that It is
the decided and irreyocable resolution Of
the General Government not 10 agree &c
be held responsible in any manner what
ever for the non. performance Of those OBJ
legations. The Charge d'Afares, how.
ever, states his conviction that the pres
emf state of affairs in the United States,
upon tho whole, is such as to encourage
the hope that credit will be gradually re-
stored"

MAKING SALT.-We are informed tina

gen (nhammable gas) vas struck unc
that the gas comes up in large quantities
mixed with the salt water. The propri.
etor has coutrlyed to separate the gas
from the water; and while the water is
conveyed into the boilers through one sci
q pipes, the gas is conveyed in another
set under the boilers where il is inflamed,
and evoporates the water! Thus the same
vii yields the water TO make salt, and

We are informed that salt is actually
manufactured at this well, at the net cost
of tico cents per 6usheh II nature coniin-
ues to yield this double product, this well
will be worth more than silver mine. -
