THE FRENCH CoLoNIEs.-The New York
Herald has advces from Martinique to the 23d ult.,
from which we gather the following particulars
On the night of the Doth the town Of ST. Pierre
was beseged by numerous band of ruffans, run
ming to and fro, uttering the most fearful menaces
against the more peaceable citizens, under the
''Libert9, Egalit6, Fraterate," that nothing less
than a reenactment of the carnage of the 22d May
last, was every moment expected Such extremity
was, however, arrested by the intercession of the
authorities Numbers were arrested.
The Courier de Ia Martinique in reference to the
disturbances, says: We fear that the worst is ye
TO come: and that until the white class, now emi.
grating in great numbers, shall have almost entirely
left the political arena to their long enthralled
brethren of the darker hue-peradventure until a
second Hayti be raised in Martinique-the true
bearing of these unhappy proceedings will not be
understood"
The election of delegates to represent the Colo
nies in the National Assembly had terminated a
Martinique in the nomination Of Messrs. Bisette
Pappy and Schoelcher-the two first being blacks
the other the Wilberforce of France. The ISSUE
of this election has given offence TO many. The

THE CINCINNATI MoB.-A correspondent of
the Chronicle, abiding to the late fatal and san
culinary riot in Cincinnati, growing out of an al
legged outrage upon little German girl by two
returned volunteers, says: "And now, Mr.. Editor,
what do you think this mob has resolved itself nto
A melancholy yet splendid humbug The little
girl was not only unmoIested, but the poor soldiers
were altogether innocent themselves They were
indicted because the avaricious and almost brutal
father of the girl hoped to get some money in the
shape of land warrants from them The father,
himself, fearing an arrest, has fled the city, and
now the tide Of public feeling is setting against
him and in favor of the prisoners. What world
we live in, and what being of contempt and
iniuuity is man ! "

Pacific from Jereme, we have dates to the 23d ult.
The President was at Port-au-Prince. All cOmmu-
nication has since been stopped between Jeremie
and the capital, which has caused apprehensions Of
trouble at the latter place. The French Consul
has written a letter to the President to stop all
the political executions, or the French will COM
mence hostilities against them. The Consul has
written to the French Admiral at Martinique for a
frigate of war; which is daily expected to arrive al
Port-au- Prince.

D>S- One of our contemporaries appears to be
highly amused because we had venured the opln-
ion thai. in the event of general European war
resuItine from French armed Intervention In Italy,
ENGLAND would take the side of Austria. Our con-
Temporary says that France and England had,
Jointly and by formal and express understanding
between the two Governments offered their media
ton to Austria and the Italian States, with the
assurance to Austria that she must accept the con-
dtons presented to her, under the penalty OF war;
to be waged against her by the forces OF both the
mediators' If this be the case, we must confess
that we owe our knowledge of it entirely to the
NewOrleans paper above alluded to. But we think
this is a mistake The terms of the mediation are
unknown; and, in fact, it is not certain that any
terms were proposed at ALL 1t is known, however,
that Tomaseo, the Venetian envoy to France, was
denied even an official interview with General
Cavaignac-but was assured that France would
do nothing which could offend Austria. For this
and from the character of the present French
Government, we expressed doubt of the truth OF
the report that the French armies had crossed the
Alps If, notwithstanding, this should be the case,
il proves that the French Government has aban-
doned its position Of peaceabe mediation, and has
resorted TO the somewhat more forclble process OF
armed Intervention. The sympathies OF England
are known to be with Austria, and should she take
any part will certainly be with that power, with
which she was in coalition against France during
the whole period-with the exception Of the seven
wears from 1905 10 I8l2-between 1892 and 1915.
