The DEATH OF ALBERT GALLArlM.-

the death at N. York, of the venerable
Albert Gallatin. The New York cores

noticing his death, says:
at is but little while since, in an
nouncing the decease Of Mrs. Ga|atin,
the very natural idea arose in our minds
that after so long a companionshp, the
the strongest feeling present with her
surviving partner. would be, probably, a
wish that he might not linger long be-
hind. II such was his wish, as may be
presumed, II has received its consuma,
ZION; the venerable Albert Galla,in de-
paited this life yesterday, having nearly
attained the pa'ria'chai age Of ninety
In answer to inquiries concerning him,
made only few weeks since, I was in.
formed tina, his bodily lnfrmities seemed
scarcely to increase, while his intellect
remained vigorous and acute as it was
years ago. His history as an American
citizen, diplomatists and statesman, is SC
well known, that 1t is needless to sup
ply an outline OF it here. Almost from
the infancy of our Republic he has had a
prominent part among those by whom it,
destinies were guided and controlled
The occasion Of his death will be marked
I presume, by appropriate official and ger

Alleged Outrage on our Flag.
Gen oudin0t and Mr.. Cass,

we published few days since, an ex-
tract from a letter to the Newark Boston
Advertiser, relative to the commission Of
an alleged outrage upon the American Con-
sui at Rome by some French soldiers. The
Washington Republic of Monday ,gives the
following official information received rel
alive TO the difficulty
awe understand that Mr.. Brown, our
consul, called in person and made repre-
sentation ofthe facts of the case to General
Cudinot. Tie general-in-chief received
him with courtesy, and listened to his state
ment with due attention, accompanied
with all proper expressions of regret, and,
IN conclusion, directed the chief Of the staff
to return with Mr.. Brown to the consulate,
to collect from witnesses Of the scene full
information in regard to it.
"The next day military court was
called, which sat for nine hours, eliciting
the facts of the case, with all the minute.
ness which distinguish the French tribu-
mas. In the course of this examination it
appeared that two of Mr.. Bro WINS servants
(ltaliars) had repeatedly, during the day,
lnsulted the French soldiers in passing.
AT the time in question, an individual te-
longing TO large crowd of Italians, which,
in defiance OF general order of the day
previous, was assembled, to the numt er of
hundred or hundred and fifty, at the
coDsul's house, had drawn poniard upon
the guard. A patrol; passing at the time,
entered the house, not being arprized of
its character, and made prisoner OF the in
divldual in question, and of another who
was recognized as deserter from the
French army. They then withdrew with
the prisoners 1t was in evidence upon
oath that the patrol deportcd themselves
without menace, and were uniniormed of
the character of the premises until they
were on the point of retiring.
"Mr. Brown left the city with his fam
lily while this examination was in progress
leaving Mr.. Freeman, tour consul at An
cona;) in the temporary discharge of the
duties OF the Roman consulate. In conse-
quence OF Mr.. Browns absence, and under
the impression that the consulate was left
without ain agent, we understand that Gen.
Oudinot addressed communication TO Mr..
Cass, our charge d'aflairts, in which he
recapltulated the result of the examination
substantially as we have given it above,
and expressed the regret which he had
experienced at the error that had been
committed, which had been previously ex-
pressed in person to the American consul
and vice consul. He also entwed to Mr..
Cass the assurance that no one in the French
army had harbored the design ofdisrcgsrd-
ing the rights Of his country: or questioning
the II inviolabiliiy of domicil Of diplomatic
functionaries.
General Oudinot further stated, we
understand, that the two prisoners had
been released, and expressed the hope that
the communication which had been made
would be a sufficient satisfaction for the
error which had been committed, and
which could not occur again"

NHoLEsALE STEALING Sassafras Neck,
in this county, has been thrown into fer
ment within the last few days, by the dis
coyery Of a series of the most high handed
and extensive robberies ever perpctrated
in a civilized community. 1t is alleged
by some that the farmers there have late
ly been robbed Of some three thousand dol
lars worth Of grain and other property.
The parties charged are four in number,
have fled from the neighnorhood, and are
handblled and reward of $500 offered
for their arrest-still We hesitate to publish
their names. They are charged with go
ing to harms, yoking up the oxen of farm
ers, and hauling away their corn and
wheat by filties Of bushels, and shipping
it to Baltimore with killing cattle and
selling the beef even 20 the owners with
stealing uncounted sheep, hogs, poultry,
SC. It Is farther alleged that they have
gone TO the houses OF men supp osed to
have money, to kill and rob them, but
have been frightened of. In short, their
depredations have been enormous, and we
await further and more certain develop
ments.
