When Congress had finished their business, ss
they thought, in the autumn Of l774, had, with
Mr.. Henry before we took lesveof each other, some
familiar conversation, in which expressed full
conviction that all resolves, declarations of

importation agreements, though they might be ex-
pected by the people Of America, and necessary 10

among the people Of England, but would be totally
lost upon the government. ! had just received a
hssty letter written to inc by Major Joseph Haw-
ley, of Northampton, containing ga few broken

Your readers will learn with regret Of the death
Of our much esteemed citizen Honorable CHRrsTo-
pHER HuoHEs. He died at his residence in st. Paul
street this morning, after protracted and painful
illness, in the 9th year of his age The deceased
has filed some prominent positions. He was, it
will be recolected, Charge for many years to Swe-
den, and subsequently, to Holland, A large portion
of his life was therefore spent in Europe While
thus in his diplomatic capacity for the United States
he established for himself high reputation. He
possessed noble generous heart, and all who knew
him were charmed with his proverbial politcpess
and gentlemanly department. He the warm,
ardent friend Of Henry Clay, and when that dstin-
Ruished statesman visited our city, Mr.. Hughes
was among the FIRST 10 bid him welcome In his
death our city has lost one whose good deeds and
acts of charity and iberality will constitute

The grand convention Of Odd Fellows is still in
session They, however, sit with closed doors, and
their proceedings are only known for the present

The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
S'n has produced quite sensation here by his let
ter announcing that difficulty had arisen be-
tween Mr. Clayton and NJ. Poussin, the French
Minister, in consequence of offensive letter writ
ten to Mr.. G. The correspondent says
"The President directed, six weeks ago, that the
offensive letter be the Government Of France,
with demand that NJ Poussin be Immediately
or sooner recailed
"The French Government did not notice the de.

To the Editors Of the Republic:
GENTLEMEN Every word in the English Ian
guage is thought to have definite meaning !;
will one of you take leisure moment to let us
know, through your paper what idea your neigh
Dor editors of the Union convey, or intend to con-
vey, to the public by the words " imbecile,'' "im-
becility," which they often use in reference TO
General Taylor and his Cabineta BY answering
the question at length, you will doubtless oblige
many citizens, who simply want an honest admin
istraton of our Government upon the Republican
principles. Yours, &c.
MANY READERS.
p. S.-Does imbecility mean turning men out of
Office who have been in SO long that they think
they more entitled to be in than thousands of
other people' Does it mean that old man Richie
has lost his place with $4,000 income? Does
it mean the detection and exposure of defaulting
sub-treasurers? Does it mean that Taylor wont
try to get up war with some friendly power 2
nor fight for $40 40! let Rey stay in Cuba nor
remove the deposites from the sub treasury when
they unsafe nor search the Polar seas for
Sir John Franklin nor do any thing monstrous
and astounding in peaceful Republic, 80 as to
mark his term by some terrible calamity by which
it may be remembered Would Taylor or his
Cabinet be imbecile or called 50, if Thomas Richie
could only get back TO the $3.50 he getting
previous to the fortunate concurrence of circum.
stances which turned him out

sour Government has, therefore, intimated to
NJ. Poussn that his passports are ready for him.
''Tbe Washington papers OF this morning have
no allusion To the matter"
Since this rather startling announcement has gone
forth, based upon what seems good authority we
shall look with deep anxiety for further details and
official information in regard TO it.. II is matter of
high importance, and one that the country must
feel anxious TO understand, well in a business
point Of view in reference TO national honor
The Washington papers, those favorable to the Adj
ministraton, will be looked TO for some light and
information upon the subject.
