all that he knows in this world by converse

common knowledge. Books do something,
but every man has not the opportunity to read.

Another Flaresup' with our Foreign
Relations.
The Bosioniaus are amusing themselves
hugely with a little misunderstanding that
happened on Tuesday last, between one Of the
officers Of the Customs and the captain Of a
British vessel arrived in that hnrbor. In pur-
suance Of the legitimate duties Of his office,
the agent Of Uncle Sam was proceeding to
board the ship but was soon Obliged to desist,
the skipper threatening to shoot the yankee
poke-nose , il fine came on board. The officer
Of the Customs Immediately communicated the
Circumstance to the Collector Of The port, who
at once invested Captain Sturgas, Of the Re
venue service, with %plenaFy power to act in the
premises.
In the course Of an hour or two the English
man was brought to hissenses, his vessel being
ordered to lie-to under the guns Of the cutter
Hamilton, a mandate with which necessity
obliged him to comply. The b%ellicose Brttisher
next day "wednesday was brought up before
the u s. Commissions, and muleted in the
sum Of fifty dollars for his refractory cond net.
We respectfully commend this case to the
careful keeping Of the Union, at Washington,
and the Pennsylvania at Philadelphia. II

collection of blunders' these delectable prints

"This last dispute grows out Of the Intrigue
carried on BY, the British government with the
sans cuIote King Of the Moaquiloes, who has
been transformed by BRITISH necromancy

tensions put forth by the British government
in this Mosquito business are not only %unfoun-
ded and frivolous, but they are insulting to
our government and people y. Union.

that the Union looked on a quiet and dumb
spectator Of events which il now character
ICES as a reProach upon our people and Govern

net tolerated the i~ndignity aud pocketed the
affront? How was this! Here we have the
Union denouncing a transaction which took
place during the last administration, and with
it's knowledge as insulting to our people and
Government Why was it permitted to be
done? Why did Mr.. Polk's cabinet ac-
q%uiesce in it's being done? Will the Union
explain such unseemly ind. ference to the in

1t seems Tint the new French Minister is moi
to come ont for some weeks, and it may be
months. Louis Napoleon hasunbounded con-
idence in the ability and zeal of the Washing
ton Union, and is evidently disposed to rely I'M
plicitly upon its Efforts in support Of French
pretensions, aud in chastising the American
Government for having dared 10 resent ihe-in-
suits and rebuke the annoyance Of the late
French Minister. The French President is
evidently acting with his usual sagacity, and
we do not al al wonder that other foreign
powers are following his example in this re-
spect. The English Minister is delaying his
arrival. Russia is withouta representative at
Washington. The leading monurchies Of the
Old World, and especially the most ABSOLUTE
and despotic among them, clearlyperceiye the
utility and expediency Of entrusting their in
tetests to the fOFeign organ already established
at the seat Of Government. The Union advo-
Gates their several claims with a vigor and EN-.
ergy which their own accredited Ministers
would not venture to display. II denOunces
Gen. Taylor and his Cabinet, for maintaining
American rights and American honor against
their arrogance and insolence, with a spirit and
in language which they dare not use. They
understand perfectly that the Union will go
further in their behalf than any Minister whom
they could send; and they are, therefore, quite
willing that their missions should remain
vacant, so long as the Washington Union
remains at the capital to advocate their claims,
fight their battles against its own country, and
do whatever fidelity to them and hatred to the
American Government may seem to exact.

Whenever their inventive faculties are at
FAULT TO concoct a char fe against the Admin

to that kindred reservoir of all filth. sSee,'
they e%xclaim, what a Taylor paper says.
Here is one Of your own organs, which charges
that M. Poussin was dismissed because the
Cabinet would not associate with Madame P.
1t also charges that Mr.. Clayton created the
difficulty, to enable his friends to make money
by specializing in stocks. OF course it must
be true. A Taylor paper SAYS so.'
Il is such witnesses as this, that the Locofo-
cos now bring forward to sustain their libelt
against the Administration-an authority es.

The fact is that the A Administration has never
taken the slightest notice of this vile sheet,
