Terrible Tragedy at Macao.

By late arrival, the following despatch,
announcing the assassination Of the Gov
ernor of the Portuguese settlements at
Macao, China, has been received by the
Secretary of the Navy. Whether this
foul deed grew out of certain disturbances
which occurred at Macao, some time be-
fore, between the Portuguese and the
Chinese, or was new and deliberate
manifestation of the hatred of the natives
to foreigners generally. is not stated. 1t
is probable both causes had their influence
The catastrophe produced, very naturally,
the greatest anxiety and CONSERVATION.
Commodore GEIsINGER seems to have
acted with promptness and energy in fur
nishing the American citizens all the aid
within his power to bring to their protec-
ton. The public vessels Of other ma
tons, on that station, will of course do the
same for their respective citizens, and for
the general security.

Sin: have the honor to communicate TO the De-
partnlent information of horrid tragedy, attended
with circumstances of unusual atrocity and ba
rity, which occurred in the immediate neighbor-
hood of the city of Macao on the afternoon of the
Odd instant His excellcncy, J. M. Ferrera dc
Amaral Governor of Macao, who was taking his
customary evening ride on horseback, accompanied
by his aid de-camp, both unarmed, waylaid
by some six eight Cinnamon, and brutally as
sassinated, on the public road, at a short distance
within the barrier gate that separates the Portu-
guesc from the Chinese territory. His body was
much mutilated, and his head and hand, Che had
formerly lost his right arm,) were cut off and car
ried away. No clue has yet been had to the perpe-
traitors of this foul deed.
By this deplorable death her most faithful majesty
has lost energetic and trusty servant, and the
colony of Macao an upright, public spirited, and
much loved governor.
You will perceive from the protest of the council
of the government, Ga translation of which is here
with enclosed that alluson is made to placards
that have appeared from time to time at Canton,
offering large reward for the governors head and
that the suspicion is cast upon the Chinese author
tiles of Canton, of connivng and sanctioning the
crime.
The audacity of this cruel and premeditated muir
der filled the public mind with astonshment and
CONSERVATION; and great were the apprehensions
of the foreign community here, that at the request
and with the consent of the authorties) instantly
ordered force, necessarily small, to be landed from
the Dolphin for the protection Of our country
men on shore in case of need and despatched fast
boat to Whampoa with orders for the Plymouth to
repair to this place with all despatch
Upon receipt of the intelligence at Hong Kong,
her majesty's steamer Medea, having the ship
Amazon in tow proceeded to this place, and arrived
here on the evening of the 23d instant
have the honor to be, very respectfully, your
obcdient servant.

New Publications..

The LiUing AUTHORS Of England, by THOMAS Pow
ELL. New York ID. Appleton & Co.
The wonder is, how the cockney concoctor Of this
pot potur of small gossip and vicious criticism ever
inveigled respectable Yankee publisher into put
ting his name to the title page. The literary mis-
sion of Mr. Thomas Powell seems 10 be 10 persuade
the American public Of two things; first, that they
have neglected genius in their midst in the person
of the author of "Pufcr Hopkins" novel, which
cannot be said to be forgotten, inasmuch it was
never remembered; and that this genius is far SUI
pcrior to Mr. Dickens, nay, that Mr.. Dickens has
been guilty of plagiarizing from him in than
one instance. Secondly, Mr.. Powell would set
right the literary position Of M. Washington Ir-
wing in the estimation Of his countrymen. The eulo-
gist of"Pufer Hopkins" assures us that Mr.. Irving
has ga false position in American lteraturc;" that
II is "fallacy' to consider him "any thing beyond
an agreeable cssayist, and very successful mita-
tor Of the level style of Addison and Pope;" and
that there is faded piracy, tame scntimentalsm,
and common place suavity' in Mr. Irving's book
on Goldsmith.
Mr.. Irving may thank his stars that he is vilfcd
rather than praised by the impudcnt pretcnder,
who oscillates between the extremes of preposter-
pufiery and impotent abuse, in lauding the au-
thor OF "Puflor Hopkins" and traducing the au.
thor Of the sketch Book" When this cockncy
critic shall have succeeded in writing up the one,
shall have full faith in his ability to write do,ou
the other; but not till then.

Louisiana Election.

In the 80 parishes heard from, Declou-
cts majority for Governor over Walker is
7S9, fo1ving IS yet to hear from, which,
in lS45, gave Johnson majority Of 1856.
The Bee of the 18th instant thinks that
Walker majority will be less than 300,
and is confident of the election of KENNER
and BoRDELoN, the Wing candidates for
Lieutenant Governor and Auditor. The
Senate is supposed to be Locofoco, and
the House Wing, leaving it still in doubt
which party has majority on joint ballot.
The Bee adds GAS evidence of the prob
able election Of these gentlemen, we may
state that in ii parishes, the official re-
turns Of which have been received by the
Secretary Of State, and where WALKER
has % majority, KENNER has 2S3, and
BoRDELoN $780, Except in st. Martin,
and perhaps one or two other parishes
they almost invariably run from ten t
thirty votes better than DEcLoUET. II
the entire State, this will probably make
difference enough to elect both"

The Union thinks we are doing the
British minister good service by quoting.
the speeches Of Messrs. Polk, BUCHANAN,
MCLANE, VAN buren,, and the editorials
OF the Richmond Enquirer, on the Mon
ROE declaration. According to the efor-
egn organ" those gentlemen in 1926
were as tenacious of the rights and inter
ests of Great Britain, and as jealous on the
side Of the progress and expansion of Eu-
ropean colonization in America, as it has
been of late in the service of M. PoUSsIN,
the KING OF Prussia, and all or several
the powers and principalites with which
Mr.. CLAYTON has had to do. The foreign
instincts of the Union seem to date from
an early period. We are not surprised
that it should profess to be shocked and
"humiliated" at the reproduction of the
arguments of its political friends against
the MONROE declaration, and the hatter-
ing concentrations of its senior editor of
those arguments. Its affectation in this
regard is assumed, to escape the verdict
which the candid mind must pass upon its
anti-American tendencies.
In prosecuting our review Of the history
of the MONROE declaration, we may have
to bring to the notice Of the ''foreign or
gan" some later "reminiscences touching
the action of the Democratic party in the
premises, which are not of nature to
calm its nerves or lessen its humility. II
is sad predicament for the Union, that it
should be constrained to denounce the
bare quotation of the public speeches of
its friends upon this question as equivalent
to preparing the hearts Of the people for
disgraceful surrender to British AFRO
gance." More particularly is it a cruel
fate to be compelled to pronounce judg-
ment against the written opinions of its
senior editor as conducting to such dis
graceful state of public feeling. The truth
must be told, nevertheless. 1t will not
answer to suppress or falsify history, to
screen charlatans and, demagogues from
the censure they have earned by decep-
t ton and chicanery

THE REPUBLIC.

was elected as such to the Constituent As
sembly, by the Puy-de- Dome. He sup
| ported CAvAIGNAC for the Presidency, but
after the 10th of December he became one
of the intimates of Barrot, wormed his way
into the saloons of Elysee, and distln-
guished himself by the violence of his re-
dictionary opinions. In capacity he is said
to be little inferior to NJ PARRIEU, but
goes beyond him in servility and vulgar
ambition.
M. +. BARRoT, minister OF the interior,
was mediocre advocate of the Partisan
bar, living on the business furnished him
by his brother Odilon; but the atmosphere
of courts is fatal to gratitude. He is an
intimate of the President, in the fullest
sense of the word.
M. BINEAU, minister of public works,
is an engineer of bridges and highways,
of very little distinction. He is said to
possess the faculty of speaking for hours
together, and to enjoy this privilege with
out listeners.
M. DE RAYNEvAL, minister of foreign
affairs, is one of the diplomats who have
best seconded M. OUDINoT in his ultra
montana achievements. His elevation to
the ministry is supposed to indicate that
the famous letter of the 18th August was
only miserable catchword for the pub
lie, and that the policy of nj. BoNAPARTE
with regard to the affairs of Rome finds its
expression not in the speeches of M.
HUGO, but in that of M. MoNTALEMBERT
NJ RoMAIN-DEs FossEs, minister of
marine, has all the suppleness that fits
him for a courter. M. DUMAS, min
lister Of agriculture and commerce, is
a member of the institute, and is said to
be very well known by his labors in the
fields of chemistry, and still better by his
pretensions to discoveries which he has
never made. On good terms with Louis
Philippe, he stands well also at Elysee.
He has learned agriculture and commerce
in his laboratory; and is said to be very
strong on the sugar-cane and beet ques-
ton, and has taken neither side Of it.
From all that we can learn of his new
ministers, M. BoNAPARTE seems to have
surrounded himself with circle of nobo-
dies; and we can well believe that in taxi
ing farewell of his old minister he used
the phrase which is attributed to him: 81
am responsible; want deputies at the
head Of the ministry, and not ministers. y
