the States except one. The victory Of the dAm-

A RRIVAL OF THE EUROPA.
BosToN, July 81, Or. M.
Tho Royal mail steamer Europa arrived to-
day, with European dates to the 18th inst.
Another plot has been discovered to over
throw the French Government at Paris.
The workmen of the A%teliers intended to re-
volt. The 18th inst, was fixed for a FIVE sous
banquet, which was only a pretezt to get in
surgents.
Paris was to have been pillaged.
The government possessed the details of the
plot, and many of the intended chiefs were
arrested.
Cavaignac had made every preparation to
meet all emergencies.
Fifteen projects Of the departments have
been displaced for implication in the insurrec-
ton of June,
A part Of the present government arein fav-
or ofProsecuting suspected members. Others,
with Cavaignac, firmly oppose such proceed
ings.
All political prisoners have been removed to
detached points out of Paris.
The city is completely fortified, prepared, it
is said, to resist 10000 ouUrsers, who intend
marching to the Assembly and demand to be
fed or shot.
The Spanish insurgents are progressing, and
the government is much alarmed.
The Irish are rapidly approaching a crisis.
Duffy, Of the.Nation, Martin, Of the Felon,
O~'Daugberty, Williams and Roband, of the
Tribune, Dodney and Meagher, of the Water
form, have been arrested for sedition.
The arrest Of the latter caused great excite
ment, and he would have been rescued but
for his own efforts and the arrival Of fresh
troops.
The cholera was frightfully increasing in
Russia.
The Piedmontese Ministers have resigned
on the question Of war, or the temporizing
policy. They favored the latter. The news
of the march of the Russian troops to Media
via is confined. The people there had de-
clared in favor of Republic.
AT Wallachir an instruction had occurred,
and the Prince resigned. The Austrian Min
istry have also resigned. At Berlin, the Com
munlsts are endeavoring to excite an i%nsurrec-
ton similar to the Parisians. Portugal yet re-
mains quiet. Mehemet Ali is said to be in
sane. Disturbances at Frankfort de Main have
occurred, and several lives were lost. The
affairs in Italy are in statu quo. Germany con-
tinues greatly excited.

Worse and Worse.-We ale utterly at a loss
to know what the Democracy Of this State
will do with the Mississippian, if it continues
to manifest during this campaign, such utter
disregas4 of sense and decency as lsmanifest-
ed in the following paragraph;
"They (the prOviso men) see on one side
Gen. Cass, the standard bearer of their prlnci-
ples-in whose nomination their leader obsti-
nateIy refused, when invited to participate
and on the other, tao Wing candidate, Gen
Taylor, probably the owner Of a hundred ne
g~roes!!! and therefore, not very likely to coun-
tenance their free territory nOtions."
A correspondent of the Southron tran
sCribes the above from the Mississippian Of
June 18th and says:
If the sheet were not before me, | would
take it upon myself, wing as | am, to deny that
such pettifogging, deteslable, and to be abhor-
red and derided by every southern man, be he
whig or democrat, had its authorship in Missis'
sippi or any where south of Mason and Dixon'i
line. In all my newspaper reading have new
er seen SO vile an expression-sO insulting 10
the people | live among-in any southern
paper.
Let the Democrats Of Mississippi remember
that their leading organ says Gen. Cass is the
s,andard-bearer Of principles which Gen. Tay'
lor, as a southern man is "nO very likely e
countenance y We wish them to mark TIM
admission SO that if Gen. Cuss is elected ant
.bey are humbugged by another Northern
man with southern principles" they canno
plead deception, inasmuch as they have nov
been warned, not only by the Wing press 9

The signal Letter.

The Signal Letter.
The editor Of the Tuscaloosa Monitor has
had in his possession, for several months, the
following letter from General Taylor, repudi
ating the ridiculous construction put upon
his letter to the Editor of the Cincinnati Sig
gal, by the more INSCRIPTIONS portion Of the
Administration Editors. Gen. Taylor's let
ter being strictly private, however, the Editor
felt a repugnance to violating the implied con-
hdence reposed in him, by giving it publicity.
He therefore exhibited it to the editor of the
s Observer" a Locofoco sheet, published in the
same place: but that gentleman persisted in
treating the matter as if no such evidence had
been produced, thinking no doubt "that ALPS
fairi in politics. and that so long as he could
make " %capital' by disappearing Gen. Tay-
lor's sentiments, he was not bound, in honor
or morality, to notice q disclaimer known on
ly 10 himself and a few others. His system
Of ethics taught him that what ever he could
do with impunity, or without detection, he
was autorized by the laws Of political warfare
to do: and therefore lacked the magnanimity
to act upon the noble principles # doing JUS
tice even though the heavens were to fall, OF
a paltry subject Of party Misrepresentation be
destroyed. The Editor Of the Monitor, seeing
the base use that vas made Of the Signal let
ter by INSCRIPTIONS partisans, no doubt asked
and obtained the assent Of Gen. Taylor to tn,
publication of the letter TO a gentleman o
Tuscaloosa } for he adds, +" we are happy to sa!
General Taylor approves of all that we hav'
done" This must put an end to the quib
bling and text-tormenting process to which hi,
Signal letter has been subjected, and to the
far-fetched differences dcduced from it by the
Locofoco presses and orators; unless, indeed
they can show that Gen. Taylor does not un'
derstand his own meaning or his own opinions
as well as they do.

SIR: your letter Of the 4th ult, has been re-
ceived. In reply to your remarks concerning
a letter which | addressed some time since to
the editor of the Cincinnati Signal, | have no
hesitation ip stating hat it was not my inten-
ton in that communication to express an o.
pinion either in concurrence with, or in oppo-
sition to any OF the views embraced in the edi'
torial article to which %itrefers.
The letter itself, like most other letters o.
mine on unofficial matters which, have found
their way into the newspapers, was not inten-
ded for publication, but simply written
as a matter of courtesy in answer to
one which | had received from the gentleman
in question. For this object, it was entirely
sufficient; though, under the belief that il
would never go beyond this point, it is quite
probable that it may not have been prepar-
ed with that care and critical accuracy
which appears to be SO much required by Po-
~liticians. 1t was simply my desire, on that &C.
cusion, as has been my custom uniformly
through life, to express my respect for opin-
ions which | believed to be honestly entertain.
ed, and as long as thus held, my approval oil
his maintaining them.
Should it ever become my official duty to
give my opinions on any or all of the political
questions referred to in the above mentioned
/ shall discharge the dutytO thebost Of my iudg'
ment. Until then, my opinions on such mat.
tiers, are neither necessary nor important.
I need hardly add, in conclusion, this com
munication is not intended for the public
prints.
| am sir, very respectfully,
Your cbedient servant,

Good--The Louisville Journal publishes The
folio wing paragraph. Others similarly pledge
cd, can adopt the same plan;
"Halt a dozen Wings, ardent friends Of Mr..
Clay, have sent US a joint letter saying that
they pledged themselves some time ago not 10
vote for General Taylor for the Presidency.
They cannot, however, think Of separating
themselves from their old friends. They still
say that they will not vote for Taylor, but ,has
they will vote for the electors nominated BY
the Wings, and that the electors can vote for
Taylor If they like"

1t is an questionable fact that these reso-

Tho series Mr.. Fillmore voted in 1898, were in
tended to manufacture eleciioneering capital
for Mr.. Van Buren, in the South, without COM
