RESTORATION OF THE BoURBoNs.

We have occasionally adverted to the strenuous
exertions which the adherents to the worn-out
Bourbon dynasty, net only in France, but through
out Europe, making to seize the helm OF state IN
France, on the death Of Louis Philippe, and renew
the 'ancient state Of things there. This result is
no less sought by the Bourbonists in France, than
by the adherenis to legitimacy everywhere; for,
since the opening of the French revolution, France
has been ruled by other than legitimate kings, and
this "scanda Of pebeia rulers, chosen by the peo-
pie, Is what is sought TO be got rid Of
The language OF the Bourbon organs in France
IS such as would scarcely be expected from any

taken place, excepting when they were standing,
and the fire commencing below, spread itself in
wardly. In this place. the action Of interior fire is
seen, which is proved by the mounds Of vitrifed
sandstone which surround the forest, and the small
blocks which are found on the surface. The pieces
which resemble wood taken from the fire, proved
that the fire had burnt the wood before its petri-
faction.
The incrustations and concretions also prove the
presence OF waters having certain chemical proper
tics. One could, after all these observations, es-
tablish-

neous and that in this place there has been an rrup

merged the Forest which would have immedia,elv
killed the trees, and that these waters (of whose
composition we are ignorant) would have petri6ed
the forest.

Oregon country; and, with the last, the refusal to

uiations. a
Our title TO Oregon the President reasserts to be
clear and unquestionable, and his summary of past
nesoiaiiun c1neetning ia shows, 10 our satisfaction,
that il is time that such negotiations were ended,
and that is idle to expect Of British rnphcity any
thing he fSr sdlustuieht az this Question upiil
we move towards il with resolute determination
To maintain our honor and the rights of our people
already in that territory. On this subject the Pres
ident recommends a notice to Great Britain required
by the treaty Of October, 1918, TO terminate the
joint occupancy Of that country; %, line OF mill
larry posts en- route TO the Rocky mountains, 10 pro-
teci emigrants on their way; Sd, an overland mail,
once month, to the m outh of the Columba; and

may be somewhat too low for Boston, and too high
for Charleston, bat guided by the principle an
nounced in his Kane letter during the campaign Of
last year, he has stated his position upon this sub
ject clearly, and in our view, unanswerably.
The sub-treasury is, of course, defended and rec
commended. graduation in the price of the pub

And his suggestion to sell the mineral lands, instead of
continuing the system of leasing, will probably be
received with the lively interest by all copper
gentlemen, 'here and elsewhere"

THE GUANO TRADE.

From the value which has been attributed to this
new article of commerce. (guanoO and the quanti-
ties of il which have been transported to England
one might have expected that it would by this time
have produced some sensible effect the agricul-
ture of the country Ii is singular that at the mo-
ment when this effect might have been most
ably looked for, we met, in place of proofs OF
stimulated and increased production from the soil OF
Great Britain with the cry Of famine and popular
demand upon the government not for moro guano,
but for the free import of grain. We do not know
whether any inference can be justly drawn from this
fact, that the many hundred ship loads of this ma
nure which have been conveyed to England, have
failed of producing the beneficial effects which have
been anticipated from them; but 1t is evident that il
the article is effective in reinforcing the produce
tive vigor Of the soil 1t has been supposed to be,
the English farmers have not yet obtained enough
of it
Whatever question there may be to the bene-
fits TO the BRUSH public resulting from the acqusi-
ton Of this article of commerce, 1t would seem from
the following statements that the government of Pc
ru has, without any doubt obtained substantial
benefit in parting with it. These statements we de-
rive from late Paris paper, where they appear TO
be given on official authority.
The Peruvian government has published, under
the date of March first of this year, statistical
document on guano, which has become impor-
tant branch of revenue. II appears from this docu-
ment, that, in the first year US4D in which this
manure became an article OF commerce, there were
6, l25 tons exported in % ships. In the following
years, the expectation of guano was considerably
augmented. Thus, from the year 1912 to the
s Peru wE Soa,
were exported to France in French vessels 300 to
the United States, and 900 to Italy and Austria.
