THE ICARIAN COMMUNISTS AT NAUvoo. AL
though Nauvoo has been reduced from her
proud position of an important and ilourishng city
although her population has been diminished
TO one-fourth of what it under the dynasty of
its frantic founder, yet a new era is now dawning
on the humble capital of Mormonism; new i'm
pulse bids fair to make it far surpass, in substan
tal prosperity, its pamiest days of Mormon pride
Only week since, there was an arrival at this
city Of three hundred citizens of France, who were
seeking that repose in the quiet of our own we'll
regulated government which they could not enjoy
amid the stormy and proscriptivc spirit which has
so long agltated their own country. This band of
emlgrants, struck with the picturesque beauty of
the place, and impressed with the fertility Of the
surrounding country, and the heaIthfulncss of the
locality, have come to the conclusion that no place
can be better adapted to their wants than Nauvoo.
This company of emIgrants is headed by the dis
tnguished CADET, who is determined to make this
place nucleus for emigration IL is said that
seven hundred, who belong to the same associa-
ton, arc expected to meet their friends here in
short time, and that thirty thousand who are still
in France, and who are said to belong to the same
brotherly fraternity, will emigrate and settle with
their brethren who are already in the United
States, under the flatcrlng expectation that Maui
VOC will be made the nucleus of this emigration.

invade the country in three different divisions of
from two to five hundred warriors each. One, the
most southern, passes the Rio Grande between the
old presdos of San Juan and the mouth Of the
Pecos, and harries the fertile plains and wealthy

of humanity, and the national honor, require that
our faith be kept with Mexico in carrying out this
stipulation of the treaty. Perhaps the best plan
would be to despatch agents forthwith to the chief
tribes of the Apaches and Camanches, to warn
them of the determination of the United States

THE Diplo,naffc .SnugC[i,g II, Stockholm.

The Diplomatic smuggling III Sfockh0tm
You published, some time ago, a communication
Of the interesting affair at Stockholm, in which our
sountry, for the first time, has been honored by
sash gallant transaction.
A few days after the first publication, there ap-
peared letter. under date of October Is, at Stock
holm, written by Mr.. Ellsworth, which the public
supposed was the same transaction as originally
referred to-
In this letter, Mr. Ellsworth stated that certain
gentleman, whose name purposey withheld,
had forwarded to his address, for him to pass
through the custom house, twenty trunks and cases
of articles, consisting of petticoats go-carts sweet
meats, hams, silk dresses &c, &c., &c.
The name not being given, some speculation has
arisen as TO who the person was that forwarded the
above articles. am now enabled to state that they
were the property OF an American lady OF the first
circles of Stockholm, and were, in part, presents
from her family in Philadelphia.
They were addressed to Mr. Ellsworth from his
particular solicitation, that he might be allowed the
sentative of his country in Stockholm; and the pub
lcation of the transaction, under the circumstances
we consider only little amiable ego!ism:
In relation to this, add, that the Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, Baron Stenelld, when the charac-
ter Of the transaction was made known, addressed
letter TO Mr.. Ellsworth, saying that he regretted
to call his attention to the ten cases which he had
entered as containing sugar, tea, coffee, &c, &c.
that by accident one had been broken open in the
custom-house, and was found to contain valuable
British goods that he requested MIR. Ellsworth
would attend at the custon-house and see the other
cases opened.
Mr. Ellsworth replied to the Minister that there
was some mistake about the cases, and desired to
be allowed to re-ship the ten cases back to the city
of Lubec, from which place they had been sent to
him, and there the mistake would be rectfed.
Baron Sternelld replied, that, as his ten cases
contained sugar. tea, &c. &c, 1t was certain those
inpossession of the government were not his; there
fore they should endeavor to find the owner in
Stockholm, and would not allow them to leave the
custom-house.
This correspondence, understand, is in possession
of the State department, placed there by the Swe-
dish Minister.
This is all about the smuggling, that l can find
