THE FRENCH STEAMER The French steamer
Union, the first of the great mail line, from
that country, arrived at New York on Thurs
day afternoon, the 9Th inst, in 16 days from
Cherbourg, which place she left on the 22d
June. The intelligence which she brings is
not of much importance. The prospect of
harvests in France was of the most cheering
nature VIXEN the Union left. "

Co-Realiy for paper of the usual shrewd-
ness and tact OF the Fayetteville Observer, we
think some things in its last number are Pc
culIarly freak. In reply to our short article
OF last week, about the unpatriotic course
which the federal papers of the United States
had been pursuing with regard to the Mexican
war, the evil consequences which that course
has exercised, and is now exercising over this
very war question, the Observer tells us that,
"ln the very latest papers from the City of
Mexico, is found an intercepted letter from
one of Mr.. Marcy's Quartermasters, in which
he complains at the difficulty of getting mo-
ney 10 provide for the troops;" and therefore,
remarks the Observer, the Mexicans shout for
Joy. Now the Observer knows, as we'll as
we do, that in the Mexican papers, ever since
this war broke out, could be found articles of
nearly similar stamp. Why, it was pub
l'shed in Mexican PAYERS shortly before the
battle of Buena Vista, that Gen. Taylors
command was literally used up by sickness
and famine and that handful of Mexicans
could drive them across the Rio Grande--
Why hundred foolish things like this story
about the Quartermaster's letter, have been
published in the Mexican papers; but who
ever paid any attention to such miserable nom
sense. No one. But the Observer catches at
such miserable straws TO save it and its COM
peers from sinking beneath the waves OF popu-
lar obloquy which their course has raised.
The records OF the Treasury department
shew that the Secretary has sent to New Or
leans, from the 4th OF Feb. to the LIST Of July
EIGHT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS; and no reqnisi-
ton has yet been made upon that department
for any sums of money which has not been
Immediately attended to and the money for.
warded. The Observer knows that the paper
from which it quotes, the New Orleans Ma.
tional,' is one of the most bitter opponents Of
the administration, and withall very foolish
and unreliable print.

--REcHABlTEs-On Saturday last, the 10th
instant, the Rechabtes of the town of Will
mington celebrated the first anniversary Of the
Rock Spring Tent of that Order. The process
sion was formed about 10 o'clock, A. NJ, op-
posite the Tent Room, on Market Street, and
marched from thence to the Methodist Protes-
tant Church, where an grafton was delivered
by the Rev. Mr. Jones. The procession was,
indeed, very large and beautiful one. The
banner which they carried is one of the most
beautiful and appropriate which we have ever
seen. After the delivery Of the Grafton, and
the close of the exercises in the Church, the
procession marched to Mr. LAwToN's, where
sumptuous dinner was provided. We learn
that the festi yties of the occasion were con-
Quoted in the most pleasing manner HiIarity
and good feeling were the presiding spirits on
the occasion

"The Wilmington Journal may rest assured
that know quite enough of Gen. Taylor's poll
tics to secure HIM our hearty support. He is a
Wing, an honest man, a sensible man, and true
Patriot" - Observer.
Well, Mr. Observer, if you do know any
thing about Gen'l Taylor's politics, certainly
YOU are inclined to be rather churlish in keep
ing what you knoac to yourself. We have
some curiosity on this head, and we think
you are not very neighborly, or you would at
least crafty us a little. You and your feder-
al contemporaries of the South take upon
yourselves the especial guardianship of Gen'I
Taylor, and ought certainly to know some
thing about his politics. Do then, if not very
announcement, let us poor " Loco Focos" have
few crumbs of information on this very in
teresting point.
All; but possibly we may be too late in
making this request. You may answer, that
since Gen. Taylor wrote that unfortunate
"Signal" letter, your vocation of especial
guardianship is gone.

TIE SEVENTH DISTRICT.

We would address few remarks 10 the
Democratic voters of this District. The cleo
ton Of some person from amongst your num-
Gers to represent you in the next Congress of
the United States, will take place on Thurs
day, the 9Th of August. That day is fast ap-
preaching. Our object in now addressing
YOU, is not because we do not feel certain that
YOU have, with a unanimity unparalleled,
perhaps, in any other Congressional District
in the United States, made up your minds as
TO who you will vote for; nor is it because
we do not feel equally certain that you will
elect your choice, so surely as the day of cleo
ton rolls round We do address you, how
ever, for the purpose Of urging upon you the
propriety of coming to the polls upon that
day. Many oil you, we presume, have said,
and will say, to yourselves, that Gen Mckay
has really no opposition, and therefore there
is no necessity for your troubling yourselves
by riding to the election ground 1t is true
we do not, nor do you, look upon either Mr..
Hall or Mr.. Bryan as offering any real sub
stantal opposition. But, in our estimation,
this is no reason why every Democrat should
not vote on the day of election. Suppose, for
instance, that the Democrats in the District
were to act upon the idea that Gen. Mckay
has no opposition which requires full turn
out upon the part of his friends, and the vote
consequently be very small, would not both
Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Hall say that the party
had ceased to have confidence in Gen. Mckay,
and therefore the small vote And this they
would say, no matter how meagre the vote
would be which they might receive themselves,
We ask the reader if this would not be the
Gaze We, therefore, would urge upon our
Democratic friends throughout the District, to
turn out in their strength, and give Gen. Nc
Kay such vote as his long and valuable ser
vices demand at our hands. Let us shew
Messrs. Bryan and Hall that both of them
have been playing the parts of men who are
entirely ignorant OF the wishes and desires OF
the people of this District Let US, by the
vote which we will on that day give our dis
tinguished representative, teach these gentle.
men a lesson which will do them good in all
time TO come In word, let US poll for Gen
Mckay our whole strength on that day.

from the late European intelligence, that Lord
Palmerston, British Secretary for foreign af-
