their stay in this city. They could not fall INTO
better hands. warm and cordial reception is in
readiness for them.
The Republican and Argus of this city, the Loco
foco organ, IntImaies some desire to provoke con-
troversy with your correspondent in regard to its
gross misrepresentation Of the few words spoken
by General Taylor on his arrival here some days
ago feel no disposition to give the editor noto
rety. He might thereby become too much elated
and In another FIT Of mental alienation descend 70
that point OF fermentation which induced him &c
mlsrepresent General Taylor, and say something
more that would detract still further from his sink
ing reputation for ruth
The fact is that the pretended speech Of General
Taylor, published in the 1rgus. protesting to be
verbatim, Is different entirely from what the Gene
raj said fthe .qrgus could have found characters
to misrepresent even the natural impeachment in his
speech, Il would have used them The whole thing
is a humbug.

Rosss ANTIQUITIES I'm digging for sand in q
sand pit at Boughton. near Chester, Roman altar
was discovered, which Is certainly not the least in
teresting of the remains lately brought to light in
this neighborhood. The altar is small, and has no
doubt been intended for portable one IL stands
twelve inches high, and IS about seven inches
square The inscription il just sufficiently legihe
to afford matter for discussion and suggestion TO the
anuqoaries. The first line has the usual dedication,
Genio," plainly and sharply cut; hut from the
nature Of the stopethe red sandstone Of the vcin-
ny-the succeeding lines, three in number, are less
cgible, and admit OF more than one Interpretation.
Some read the second line Cavern - a reading
very little indicative of the heavenward aspirations
Of its worshippers. The altar is at present in the
possession Of Mr. William Ayrton, who has pre-
scented It to the Chester Archaeological Society to
whose museum il will be removed after the visit Of

THE Foreign News.


The details of the European intelligence brought
by the steamship Caledonia will be found in oar
columns, and also portion of our foreign cor
respondence. Our latest letters and slips, made up
to the moment OF the departure of the steamer, have
not yet been received.
1t seems that Rome has fallen before the French
army, and France is now master of the Roman
republic. We very much fear that this action on
the part Of France Is not of the character which
we anticipated We are inclined to believe that
it is part of general arrangement entered into
by France in concert with the despotic powers of
Europe for the Suppression of liberty that quarter
of the world. If such is the case, Louis Napoleon
and his ministry will be execrated In all future
time.
Instead of being the vanguard of liberty in
Europe-instead of heading the armies of the
liberals in their struggle against despotism, we
fear that France has sold herself to despotism, and
is now using her financial and military resources
to the subJugation of the principle which she
ought to uphold and defend to the last extremity.
This coalition, if such has been entered into, will
naturally produce a season OF repose in Europe,
but it will not last.
The Romans may be subdued, and the Pope may
be restored to his sovereignty, the Hunganans may
eventually be obliged TO succumb, but the day will
come, and 1t is not far distant, when liberty shall
be triumphant.
