troops refused march, and the President ordered them 70 be

Consul General had with the President shortly after his ai

Government further payments would be made until the
French and Spanish parts OF the island should again be uni
ted whereupon 1t is said the French Consul demanded his
passports The French claims present amount to little
short Of thirteen millions Of Spanish dollars Daection to the
President has been still further increased at Port au Prince by
the belief that he chershes undue paray for the morrill,

Inc Union comments strongly upon the as
saults made in the English newspapers upon the
conduct and character Of the United States There
are many newspapers in England similar to many
in this country-some good, some bad, some indii.
ferent We have seen column upon column of
abuse, denunciation, vaporing, rant, bombast, and
nonsense poured fourth in certain American news
papers against the people and Government Of Great
Britain. we suppose certain OF the English news
papers think that "turn about is fair play" and
give in return a touch of the same quality. And
yet this harms nobody but the persons engaged in
such disreputable business. Neither Sir RoBERr
PEEL nor Mr.. Polk regard these "paper pellets of
the BRAIN" for the most part "mere sound and
fury, signifying nothing. "--.dler. Gag.

As the old year passes away the new year
dawns upon us. We bid it right welcome !!
To many it comes, bringing along with it the
most pleasurable anticipaGons. To many, es-
pecially those who have not yet passed the me-
ridian Of life, hope paints the future in its most
brilliant colors. To these, life now seems but
a long, summer day. These on the close of
the year, be doomedto to deep and bitter dis
appointment, unless they look up to the great
source ofenjoyment, the author of every good
and perfectfgin. AS the new year begins, let
us all resolve to begin newdives. Let every
man resolve to think as vel. Of his neighbor as
he can, to do him him as. manly good deeds as
he can, and though troubles and di fficalties may
come, he can take up his arlnor, an approving
conscience, stronger than that of the mail clad
knight, and manfnlly oppose them. May we
all so live, that when our summer is ended, and
the winter ofage shall come upon tis, we may
calmly sink into our last resting place, conf.
IDENTIFY awaiting the dawn ola brighter and a
more glorious day. ~
Eighteen hundred and forty-four. has gone,
and is now numbered with "the years beyond
the flood" In its passage, clouds and tenn
pests often veiled.the Heavens from our view,
and fora season all was enveloped in obscurity.
The flowers and fruits of the earth were often
swept away in the march of tho storm, and n
deep 81 DOM beclouded the fair face Of nature.
But at length the wild commoiion ceased, The
bright SUN shone again, the flowers again
sprung forth, and the earth yielded her kindly
fruits. flhisbe true Of the natural world, it is
equally so with the moral world. The storm
of trial and af1lctioh may long bow DIR heads
10 the earth-the darkness of grief may long
cover our. hearts, and there may not be
one ray hope to light up the. sloom-but at
last, the tempest will cease its fury, our troub.
les will have ended, and The sun of peace will
beam more brightly upon US. This is particu.
larly true with regard TO those who trust in, an
overruling Providence. Tosuch, ,thelight aiFl ic-
ton of the world is but for: moment, and in
the end they shall rejoice with exceeding great
Joy. ,.-.=-y..4-. =.

that, if the General Commanding is allowed to
