Should Congress fail to give government to Califor-

objects may be gathered from the following extracts
from his prospectus:

sBaAfas REgs6tBs.aa'ttS 5sss q Mi aep
nblds, lste Senator and Acting Dlslflsi Attorney
for the parish Of Orleans, involves some MICS pflh-
ciples of constitutional law. Our contemporary of
the Bee insists, and on reflection we are disposed
to think Justly, that Mr.. Reynolds acceptance of
the Attorneyshp was virtual resignation of his
Senatorial office. The constitution is peremptory
No person shall hold or exercise at the same time,
more than one civil Office Of emolument, except
that of Justice of the Peace The Governor, then,
should have regarded the seat of Mr.. Reynolds
vacated as soon as the latter gentleman accepted
the office of District Attorney But this construe-
ton would place the Governor in delicate posi-
ton as to the proclamation for new election.
For the act of ls47 makes it imperative on the
Governor to issue his writ of election within
specified time after the official notification of the
vacancy
The Governor, however, has failed to issue HIS
writ within the time specified by law; and the
9th section Of the act of lS47, though mandatory
in its terms, can hardly be considered as tying
the hands of the Executive if he fails to comply
with its precise enactments Should the Governor
issue writ for the election of third Senator from
Orleans, the Senator elect might have to contest
the seat with Mr.. Reynolds

WHAT For THE Paris Correspondent of the
n. Y. Journal of Commerce states that the British
Government has officially asked for list of all the
American mercantile houses established in Paris,
their names, number of partners, addresses nature
of business, and whether they have branches in
other cities of France.
What is meant by " officially" asked! Have
the French Government any list of these houses
and would it furnish it without some reason of
state assigned in excuse for such an extraordinary
interference with the private affairs of citizens of
a third country! Is it not more probable that some
official parsonage, engaged in obtaining statistics
of trade, has made application to the British Con
sui or embassy to obtain this information! 1t is not
likely it would be made officially if there was any
insidous or hostile purpose.

ferred. duplicate of these Instructions was en-
trusted to Commodore Morgan, who under the or

Mississippi Before the arrival of the Commodore
at Tunis, the Bey had agreed to pay the money TO
Mr.. Payne. The gallant Commodore has faithfully
obeyed the instructions of the Secretary of State,

which was desired.

August, and was received in the most friendly
manner; the Bey treating him with the most
marked consideration, and assuring him that all
he desired was granted before it was asked. The
