American Government; and, what will perhaps
weigh still more with some, the testimony of Gene

reports which have reached us from time TO time,
and from the best sources of the kind recolections
entertained for Mr. RyEs in Paris we Cannot but
think that the American Representative, who, in
the very first of the Revolution of 1890, ac-
companied the Deputies of France, at their instance,
in visit on foot to the provisional Lieutenant
General, installed by their authority, and who, of
the whole Diplomatic Corps, stood alone in prompt
ly entering into relations with the new Govern
ment, founded by the will Of the nation, will in his
turn be cordially welcomed by the REPUBLIC of
France, whatever suggestions to the contrary may
be wantonly made by partisan writer's.

We understand that wheat cutting was COM
menced on Monday last, the 9th instant in the
town of Avon, Livingston county, and it is ex-
pected that pieces in the vicinity of this city will be
ready for grading during the present week In the
town of Perinton, barley cutting was begun on
Monday.
The wheat crop in this neighborhood is now
mainly out Of danger from rust, and the present
dry warm weather increases daily its security.
We are informed by farmers that the yield in Mon
roe county was never better. The heads are per-
haps not so large is sometimes the case, but the
grain stands thickly on the ground, having been
very little winter.ked, and the berry promises to
be unusually plump.-Rochester american.

parts Of the West Indies TO late date.
The steamship Dee, from Jamaica, &c, arrived
at Bermuda on the 5th Of July, and sailed the 7th
for England, with S400, 900 in specie.
The Legislature Of Jamaica was summoned to
meet on the 26th, it was understood, for the de.
spatch Of business. The papers, however, and
considerable numbers ofthe people apparently, seem

business until the retrcnchment bill shall I've passed

BRIrIsH WEST INDIANs.-We have advces from
Jamaica to the 9th of June.
A great public meeting held in Spanish
Town, the capital of Jamaica, on the Oath of May,
in which all the principal public men ofthe island
participated. The objects are best shown by the
following extract from the resolutions passed.:
"That SO long as the sugar planters of Cuba
Porto Rico, and Brazil, in defiance of the laws of
their respective countries and Of the treaties by
which the Spanish and Brazilian governments stand
bound to her Majesty, permitted to reinforce,
by fresh drains from slavery, the means of increas-
ing their profits, it is hopeless in countries thny
peopled as Jamaica, Guiana, and Trinidad, for the
proprietors ofthe soil to persevere in its cultivation
Upon this topic an address to the throne, and pc
titions to the two houses of the Imperial Parliament
were adopted, and the cooperation of the friends
of humanity, in America and England, was sought
Similar meetings had been held at other places in
the island.

O'Clock, at the call Of the Mayor, who commune
Gated to them, in an appropriate manner, the death

to the memory of the deceased, and of coincidence
with her family and friends, we're unanimously
passed, and the two boards thereupon adjourned.
SMOKY CHImsEYs-our fellow-ctizen, Mr..
Charles w. Russell, has perfected an invention for
curing smoky chimneys, for which he claims and
has filed the necessary papers for obtaining pa
tent. The principle is simple, and those who are
troubled with smoky chimneys know practically
its utility There are two chambers-one small
the other arge-the small one to admit the rarefed
air from the fire into the larger one; and, once
there il has no chance Of escape but to ascend the
expansion forcing current Of air through all oppo-
sition. The invention has been tested and works
to a charm.
Mr.. Russell is now employed by the Secretary
Of the Senate and Clerk Of the House IN recufylng

have been tried without success to cure them. The
black tops with which many Of them have been
dishgured have been removed-they being per-
fccty useless in Mr. r 'sinvention--and the Capitol
presents again a beautiful appearance. We wish
the ingenious mechanic complete success IN his
discovery.

afternoon at O'Clock stood at $40, aud our cltl-
zens were generally in the melting mood.
HEALTH OF THE CIrY-We learned yester-
day afternoon from the President Of the Board of

Barbachano, as we learn from the Campeachy
Razon, the official sheet, dated the 22d utmo, has
issued decree for the admission into the peninsula
of Yucatan of various articles Of foreign production
hitherto prohibited. This measure was necessi-
tated by their scarcity arising from the war which
has been saging for two years in that country, and
by the necessity of raising revenue to enable the
Government to meet the exigencies of the present
contest with the Indians The following is the list
of articles with the duties imposed, and the right
of importation extends to three months, reckoning

A Irritation is at present going on in this State,
which, as il is Of public interest, may be mentioned
without improperly. Free-Soilism is playing the
attentive in very desperate manner to that ancient
coquete. Locofocoism, and the prospect is, that if
they are not soon welded they ought to be; such
billing and cooling and interchange of Steers of invi-

or the gossps at fault. No longer are the Free

Cass Democrats; and no longer are the latter de-
