not one word of censure upon those who voted for
and passed Cots resolutions. 1t is as we expected;
falsehood and calumny brought to aid an admin

the prostration of the South. The contempt of all
good men must be aroused against the administration
and its organ who employ such means to effect their
unholy purposes. 1t is scarcely necessary to brand
as deibente falsehood the charge that Messrs.
Meade and Venable, ct ID genus, were advised
of the correspondence Of Brown and Wilmot when
they voted for him. Those gentlemen would consid-

TED. A letter (of Dec. y from the American consul
at Aux Cages, delivered by the captain of the brig
Wassahicon, at New York, speaks of the inselence
Of the new monarchica government, particularly to
white citizens of the United States. The consul,
Mr.. Loring, says:

head off with his head damn the whites that keep
slaves off with his head down with republics =!

possible opportunity to inform our government how
the American flag is treated in this part of the island
and her citizens made to suffer the most wanton and
scandalous insult and abuse"
The French Consul's life has also been threatened

the respective governments concerned. The Do
minicans were advancing with 600 men against Aux
Cages, and if the negroes behave as badly as repre-
sented above it would be benefit to the Island for
the Spaniards to give 'Faustin a good trouncing.
The captain Of the Wissahicon had great difficulty
in getting his papers, &C., from consul, that
