The rumored desertion oc the Foreign Legion

assigned to them, except the LIST Artillery, which
is stationed in the city and castle as the garrison
Of the place.
The most important news which they contain

Active hosilliiies have commenced between
Dis troops and the government forces, comman

On the 9th instant, the soldiers Of the Gov

Factory Riots.

Yesterday our sister city, Allegheny, was the
scene of another Of those Factory Rios, which
rendered her somewhat notorious two years ago.
Ever since the first Of July, when the "Ten
Hour Law" as il is called, went into operation,
the Cotton Factories in that city have been
standing idle, the operatives, as they have u
right 10 do, standing out for the ten hours, and
the Factory ProPnetors asserting their inability,
on the ten hour system to compete with eastern
mills which work l2 hours.
portion Of the hands are willing to 90 10
work, at the old time, and had entered into con-
tract so to do, as the law requires, and yester.
day Monday morning the Penn Factory was
started with a respectable number Of hands, tho
not full. Those of the operatives favorable to
standing out together with a crowd of men and
boys not connected with the Factory, gathered
around the mill and throughout the forenoon
contented themselves with no further demon
STATIONS than throwing Of a stone through the
windows occasionally, and shouting and hoot
ing at those within. They we're waiting for
The dinner hour TO arrive, when they expected
the hands working would go home to dine as
usual. But in this they were mistaken. They
had brought their dinners with them, and when
the doors were not oponed and no one came
out. The fury of the rioters then broke loose
and attack was made both in the rear Of the
building on lsabella-stroet, 81 on therver 'front.'
The fence soon gave way when they rushed
into the yard, and commenced an attack upon
the doors with axes and poles. One of the
doors soon yielded to the blows Of the infuriat.
ed Amazons, and the rioters carried the factory
by storm. All the other doors were immediate
ly thrown open, and the building was soon fill.
ed with the rioters, who commenced throwing
out Of the window the dinners ofthe workhands,
together with bobb!ns, &c. Through the ex-
erlions Of some men who had influence with
the attacking party line was formed, and the
! hands who had been at work were permitted 10
pass cut, amid the shouts and leers and SCOTS
of the rioters. Having thus succeeded in their
object by putting a stop TO work in the mill, the
rioters retired to The streets again, where they
hung around the mill the most of the afternoon
regoled with an occasional harOngue by some Of
the leaders and one or more fights.
The Mayor of the city and police, the Sheriff
Of the county with his posse, were present bu
were wholly unable to protect the properly ol
prevent the rioters from an entrance. We re-
gret TO hear that Mr.. Logan, one Of the propre
tors the mill was badly injured by cut OF
blow in the face, and that Weigly, one Of the
mayors police, was quite seriously injured by
blows and cuts with knives. The windows il
the east end of the building are pretty badly
shattered, and we understand some warps, &c.
were cut. The machinery, we believe is no
injured, except by the stones, rotten eggs, &c.
which came through the window PitIsburgt

The British courier arrived las night from
the city Of Mexico. but he brought no papers,
or al least ! could hear Of none. ] have been
assured, however, by persons who have receiy-
ed letters from respectable sources TO me l4Ih
inst, that the prospects Of Paredes look bright
ei, and but little doubt IS entertained by inlelli-
gent foreigners in the city that he will eyeniu-
ally succeed in oyeuhrowing the Government.
By these letters have also been received auIhen-
tic accounts Of the battle between him and Bus.
lamente, and all agree that the latter Sas sound
ly whipped, and they expect that, under the ex-
citemenl and advantage Of victory he will soon
find his way into the capital. One thing is GER
tain, that revolutions in Mexico have even with
less advantages overturned the Government,
and for the last ten years none have shown in
their infancy brighter representations Of sue
cess than the present.
You can form your own opinion Of the sngu-
lar position Of the United States should Paredes
succeed, but it is well known that his opposition
10 what he terms the dIsgraceful cession Of the
public domain, in the treaty with the United
States, is the base Of his revolutionary move
menls. Ii victorious will he not feel himself
bound to carry out the avowed purpose Of his re-
bellion by refusing 10 acknowledge The treaty as
binding upon Mexico, and probably by carrying
on guerrilla warfare along the line Of our ex-
posed lrontierl Should this be so-and think
il not unlikely-the only hope of permanent
peace will be for the United States again 10 in

The Tariff Of ,I6.
A. K. SMITH, Esq, Lancaster,

The injurious effects Of the Tariff Of 1916.
are beginning TO be seriously felt in every de-
parInent of business, especially in the manu-
lacluring and mechanical, and through them in
tho agricultural branch. The eastern manulac-
lures Of Iron, Cotton, Woolen, &C., are very
much crippled, many Of them are idle, and 9th
ers are running al reduced wages. Some Of the
Lowell Factories have reduced their wages twice
within six months, and many Of them are idle.
Its effects upon the staple manufactures Of
Pennsylvania, are no less disastrous, and they
are beginning TO be severely felt by the manu-
facturers Of The raw material. Nearly every
vessel which arrives from England, brings more
or less Iron. An instance-a vessel which ar
rived AT Philadelphia last Saturday, brought as
part Of her cargo, 270 tons pig, 1926 bars, 499
bundles Of bar, and l73 bundles of hoop and
axe iron. This is but a mite Of the weekly ag.
gregule on all the Atlantic ports.
This continual foreign influx overstocks The
market, without much chsapening the price of
the article, as the British Manufacturer keeps
up his price just within, or at The American scale,
so that without benefiring the consumer, the A.
merican producer finds his market taken from
him, and his ability TO produce cheap goods les.
sened every dayl Such are the disastrous in.
iluences Of the Tariff of '46-inhuences which
will produce wide spread ruin in Pennsylvania,
if the same policy is persisted in, as it surely
will be if Gen. Cass is elected President. That
the country will return TO the Protective sys-
tenn, there can be no doubt; the danger is that
the delay will ruin thousands, and impoverish
the country. The effects Of the present policy
are slrikngly depicted, in the following extract
from the New York Tribune;
ave believe the country is now silently but
rapidly approaching a crisis, wherein a return
to the Protective Policy or universal proslraton
aud bankruptcy is inevitable. AT this moment
half the manufactures in the country ure run
nmg at u loss, many have stopped, and more
mast stop if some decided change is not effect
ed. Our Iron Works hitherto manufacturing
for railroads are closing up, while British rails
tiIl our ports and are spreading over the coun.
try. As an inevitable consequence, our Agri,
cultural Produce tends steadily downward, oul
specie floats away, and our Banks are compeII
ed to curlall their discounts, and look out Iol
breakers. PilSbUrgh Gazette.
