American, and such as it is somewhat repug-

terrain But the leading one is of conse-
auence too serious and high not to be offered
however unwillingly, 10 the country.
The paper in question discloscs the fact that
a diplomatic conference has been held between
our Envoy and the French Monarch, in which
the latter discovered sentiments not unfavora-
BILE to the designs Of this Administration upon
Texas, and to the Presidents views of the re-
lations upon this point, between this country
and Mexico. These good dispositions the i'll
structions are meant to enforce, by plying that
Sovereign with arguments in favor Of slavery
with insinuations against the political aims OF
Great Britain, and with whatever may induce
France to become party to the Texas scheme
of those now in power.
The country cannot fail to ba struck with
the fact of such an appeal to an European
Power-of such an effort to procure its coun-
tenance in plans for which we should never

they had been worthy of u.s. This is certainly
the first occasion, since our very childhood as
a nation, when we were ever reduced to sue for
the support OF Aings, put ourselves Under their
protection and invite their intervention in our
affairs.
The Instructions, in this sense, disclose iar

is quite cheering, of fine day, to pass along
the business portions of our city, and witness
tho stir and active preparations of merchants,

supplying themselves with choice articles, fully
adequate to meet all demands from abroad, and
upon as reas enable terms as can be met with IN
any market. Storekeepers display the most
gorgeous attractions, by way of variety, in CO.

of fancies. Shopkeepers, possessed of all the
necessary appendages for holiday times, are
also besl,rring themselves And last, though
not least, the fancy stores seem to have sci
their heads to worl-or, at least, their propre'
tors--to see who shall excel in display. In
deed, we have not Witnessed, for long time,

present manifested. Goods arc piled and post

men are busting in business; drays and carts
are rafting along in every directions; and, to
add to the scene, ladies and strangers throng
the streets and business places to procure pos
session of the newest patterns and most appro'
we'd fashions In a word, business men look
cheerful, and purchasers are not few. But
we confess, that while we write thus cheering

ACCIDENTAL DGNrH BY PoIsoN.-.1 Wnn-
ing. The Boston Mail states that ON Thurs
day night, widow Lyndes, aged 60, her daugh-
ter, Jane i.yndes, and an aged widow Of 80
named Elizabeth Burns, residing in Prince-st.,
all partook of what they supposed was a decoc-
ton of hoarhound, as remedy for cold with
which they were afflicted. In tho night they
all became sick and deranged, and DIR. Spence
was sent for, Finding it bad case, he sent for
DR.. Clarke, and il was soon ascertained that
instead of hoarhound, they had partaken of a
decoction of stramonum, which had been pro-
cured week previous as a remedy for the asth-
ma. Mrs Lyndes, who partook more freely
than the others, died in the course of the next
forenoon of the effects Of the medicine; but it is
hoped the other two ladies will recover.
