20 LAMARrINg REPORTED TO BE lNsANE.-Mr. F.
~Csaillardet in letter from Paris of the 10th Au-
gus, gives the following melancholy runur con-
earning the disn! uished French orator and author
Lamartine: ..,.,,
: Last week M. de Lamartne had assembled at
his table, several Ofhs intimate friends before leav
ing for the Cote d. Or, where he has offered for sale
his paterna estate. which fortune does not permit
him to retain. The author of The "Grondists'
seemed absent minded. but this sad pre- occupation
was easily attributed to the hard extremity 10 which
hc was reduced, and To the physical pains of an
acute rheumatism which had prevented his appear
ance at the National Assembly since his election.
"The illus;rous invalid took soup with his guests,
and then caused himself To be served with il three
times more in succession, as if he had taken Moth
ing al all. After that during the whole repast he
wore sad and dreamy air, and touched nothing
'nniil plate of mcrinGue, lac creme was placed
under his eye. A. the sight Of this dainty his brow
cleared and he drew the plate toward Him. exanin-
ed it with louk of appetite, and then suddenly be-
gan Ia rub his hands with, the cream and .Iathered
his whole face with it. This act of arrangement
struck with stupor the guests and his fearful Wife
who instantly rendered all possible care to the sur
ferer. A physician was called, and all present We're
besought to keep what after all may only be
an accidental and temporary alteration. But is
secret possible now a-days? This one has got out
like all the rest. In spite of the responsibility of
the drawing rooms in which have gathered The
report prefer tn doubt its authenticity. The in
sanity Of Lamar,ine would be not only a misR,r-
tune, but surt Of dishonor for entire humanity
struck in of its most admirable Illustrations
Every intelligence would incline to mistrust itself,
and would feel itself in some sort shaken BY the
fall of Lamariine."

Some of the papers (remarks the Alexandria Ga
zete) are publishing what purpurt to be extracts of
letters from France, giving the opinion that the
French government will not receive Mr. Rves as
Minister to that country, in consequence oPdssaiis
faction with him, when he was Minister during
Gen. Jackson's administration. We do net believe
there is the slightest authority foundation for any
of these reports or opinions. The French govern
ment would not, il presumed, be guilty of any
such folly. 1t is probable that Mr.. Rives will be as
acceptable as any other gentleman in the country.

The stars and stripes float over the seas,
and can play their part for day, or year.
or half century. Our ship yards can
build vessels faster than European cannon
can batter them down; our furnaces can
foImd engines for steamers. and cannon,
and mortars, and balls. and bayonets until
despotic Europe shall grow sick of a war
meanly and uselessly provoked. And if
our commerce droops for a time on the
seas, industry will redouble ON land. and
the citizen will turn soldier in the cause
of his country's honor, and his blows
against the people-trampling-tyrants of
Europe, will fall heavily, as they fell in
1776, in 1912, and on Mexican insolence,
in 1S47. And not few millions of down
trodden Irishmen. Frenchmen, Germans,
