THIN FRENCH AFFAIR.

The letter IN another column, which we find
IN the Baltimore American, cannot fail to arrest
the attention of the reader. The minuteness of
It's details, and posihyeness OF lis assertions, cou-
pied with the high character of the journal in
which the letter appears, invest it with a credi-
bllity entirely satisfactory. We venture to say
that It's statements will not be denied by Mr.. Pous-
SINS organ in Washington.
When first commenting upon the letter of Mr..
Poussin, our readers may recollect, that we took
occasion TO express the very decided belief that
the Minister was not acting spontaneously, but
merely following his Instructions. This opinion.
II seems, was we'll founded. We have now the
assurance that Mr.. Poussin used, as nearly as
possible, the very phrases Of Mr.. De Tocqucyille,
and that the ignorance of the French Secretary
OF Foreign Affairs, touching the Law of Nations
and of the Mexican law of salvage, and Of the
practice of the British and French navies, was
the cause of the whole difficulty. This ignorance
in the Prime Minister of France is not very cred
table to him, and is calculated to bring reproach
upon French Diplomacy. 1t affords another in
stance of the little fitness of mere scholars and
speculative writers upon Government TO conduct
the practical business Of nations. The fact,
thus disclosed, goes far TO relieve Mr.. Poussin,
personally, and we suppose the French organs
will now have to transfer their sympathy 10 poor
MIR. DE Tocqueyille, and exhaust their ingenuity
IN showing how unreasonable it would be 70 ey-
pect one, who had specialized so ably upon De.
mocracy in America, of knowing any thing about
the law of salvage, as understood by all civilized
nations. 1t also affords a satisfactory solution of
the character of Mr.. De Tocquevile's letter to
Mr.. Rush, which, without this disclosure, would
have been rather ineXpIicable. 1t also establish
eS the fact that Mr.. Poussin had been recalled an
terror to his dismissal by our Government-as it
rs evident, he would not otherwise, have been so
imprudent aS..to have exposed, in so cruel a man.
ner, the ignorance of the French Secretary of
Foreign Affairs. 1t is a question upon which his
organ in Washington may speculate, whether his

on Wednesday Of last week. The result is, tina,

There is, therefore, no doubt of the election of g

the resignation of the Hon. Reverdy Johnson.
In the Congressional election, the Wings have

SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.

We annex a list of the contents ola double
number OF the Messenger for September and Oc-
tober. We have not yet had time to peruse a
single article. The notice of'Lady Alice. or the
new Una,' we learn is a merited castigation and
exposure OF a highly immoral novel. The article
upon Miss Edgeworth, il we may, without doing
violence to modest merit, substitute names for
initials, is from the pen of our co~untyman, John
Blair Dabney, Esq, and may, therefore, safely be
recommended as claste in style, pure in moral
sentiment, and discriminating in criticism.

SHEEP. SHEEP.


In the N%lrginian, Of 9Th July. We published a letter
from Mr.. II. n. Dox, of W,-'an New York, to
Sterling Claiborne, Esq, of A@ndhers,,in which the writer
stated that he should. within a few weeks, leave his home
for Virginia, with a flock # 400 sheep, intending to take
up his future residence in this vicinity. We are graft
fed TO state that Mr.. Dox arrived two or three days ago.
in Amherst, with a lock Of near eight hundred of the
best American Saxony sheep, whose wool ranks as No. |
IN quality. lie has not yet made a purchase, and the
sheep are, for the present, quartered upon the lands of
Mr.. Claib'rne. We learn from Mr.. Doy. that he took
a very direct route through Pennsylvania, crossing The
Potomac near Martinsburg. and the Blae Ridge at Rock
Fish Gap, avoiding the Valley Turnpike. The time
occupied IN the drive was az days. There was great
dIilleuliy, IN parts of Pennsylvania and in the lower end
OF The Valley, In finding pasture, owing TO The distress
lng. drought. Notwithstanding This, all the sheep stood
The long drive remarkably well, and the flock was di,nin-
lshed by only seven. when it arrived in Amherst-and
these were sold on he way in consequence of injuries re-
ceived from accidents. The daily drive WIS about IL
miles-on one day % miles was accomplished.
We hail this arrival ASIAN important event. We trust
and believe it is but the pioneer corps ola multiludinou,

There is no doubt that Towns, the present
Democratic Governor of Georgia, is reelected by
a majority ofsome 1000. The Senate is unouet
tlonably Democratic-and there is reason .
think the House is also. On joint ballot, the
Democrats will have a majority. There is no
election OF U. S. Senator, however, dcyolying upon
the LEGISLATURE.
