A SAGAcIous MAYoR.-A Mayor of the de.
partment of the Haute Saone, France, short
time since had the following proclamation pla-
carded on the church door. There are two or
three Mayors of the same sort in this country.
sWhereas at all times there have been
disorders and always will be and, whereas
at all times there have been laws to repress
them, and always will be and whereas mag
islrates are appointed 10 have them properly
executed,-I ask ought we, or ought we not,
TO do our duty? II we do our duty we are

things into consideration, l declare that if
that horde of good for-nothngs, who are in
the habit Of frequenting the churchyard dur
ing divine service, shall CONTINUE 10 do so,
they will have to come into collision with

This is not quite equal to the speech of the
Pennsylvania constable, who said, after an as
sault upon him, do not care much for the
blows; but whoever shakes me, shakes the
Commonwealth.

from Buffalo; and three or four from Philadel-
phia. We do not take into account those car
ried back from states along the line of slavery,
for slaves have always been recovered in that
debatable,, land. But in the parts of the coun-
try where fugitives have been. considered safe.
these cases make up the sum of the triumph q
the fuei,ise lsw.s And as an offset, We have
the rescue Of Shadrach, the battle Of Christiana
and the stunning Of the Syracuse barracoon. -
How stands the agitation account onwhich
side of profit and loss is the balance! This
agitation is the plan of the abolitionists, and
we have to thank Mr.. Webster and the slave
catching judges and commissioners, and their
whole tribe for the help they have given us at
their own charges. Wings, democrats, and
free sellers are busy doing our work. 1t is
our business 10 keep them a. it, and in due pro-
cess Of time out of The chaos of conflicting pas
sions and opinions, the new policy will take
unto itself shape and substance"

The PRoMerHEus ArrAIR.-We are glad to
perceive that the recent outrage upon the steam
er Prometheus is engaging the attention of the
Government, and that there is possibility Of
something being done to sustain she honor OF
our flag at last. i is stated that the steamer
Atlantic, which sailed from N. York on SAT-
urday, 9th inst, took out dispatches from Mr..
Webster to Mr.. Lawrence, Minister At 81.
James, directing him to ascertain Immediately
from Lord PalmerstOn, whether the outrage
upon the Prometheus was authorized by stand
ing or special instructions,j or whether it will
be disavowed by the British government
This communication especially states that the
outrage is regarded as direct violation Of the
first article of the treaty Of April, 1850. 1t
is stated that the President has ordered a COM
petent naval force TO repair Immediately to
San Juan, for the protection of all American
vessels.

Kossuth.

On Friday and Saturday. Populations contin-
ucd to wait on kossu,h On Saturday he was
said to look better, and was evidently in better
spirits. The passage of the Senat resolution
was matter Of much graduation to tn people
congrega,ed about the Irving House.
On Saturday Kossuth drove out, attended by
the proprietor Of the Irving House. being the
first time he has had leisure to do so since his
sojourn in New York. z 7.f
Kossuth has issued the following Address to
the people of the United States: ,si.i.....
Having come to tine United States to avail
myself tor the cause of my country, of the SYM
pathy which had reason to believe existed in
the heart of the nation. 1 found it my duty to
declare, in the first moments of my arrival, that
it is my mission to plead the independence of
Hungary and the liberty of the European con-
tinent, before the great Republic of the United
States. My principle, in this respect is, that
every nation has the sovereign right to dispose
of its own domestic affairs. without any foreign
interference; that /, therefore, shall not meddle
with any domestic concerns of the U. States.
and that expect il from all the friends of my
cause not to do anything in respect to myself,
that could throw difficulties in my way. and,
while expressing sympathy for the cause, would
injure it.
1t is with regret that must feel the necessi-
sity of again making that appeal TO the public
opinion of this country, and particularly to
those who profess themselves to be the friends
of my cause. to give one proof of their sympa-
thy by avoiding every step which might entan-
gle me into difficulties in respect to that rule,
which have adopted, and which again de-
clare to be my leading principle, viz mot to
mix, and not to be mixed up with whatever do
nestle concerns or party questions.

TIE GOLD REGION OF NEW
GRENADA.

The Panama Star of March 25, gives
an account Of the adventures of party
of Americans, who left Panama some
time since for the purpose of visiting and
making an examination ofthe gold mines
near Buenaventura. Owing 10 want of
experiences, and ihe difficulties tobe over--
come in pursuing their Inquiries in
strange country, full of suspicious and
jealous people, and also in consequence
ofthe-illness. OF some Of the party, unfte,
ing them for duty, the enterprise. was
abandoned and they returned home.
Sufficien. was learned by them, however
while at Bnenavet1ra, to satisfy the most,
ncredulous that there is plenty Of gold ,
in the country, quantities Of which they
saw in the possession Of the natives and
Indians.
Buenaventura is about 300 miles down !
the coast; the British steamer stops there,
within 300 yards of the shore. lthas
beautiful bay and finn harbor. Cali is
some distance in the interior. II is a city
containing from $4,000 to 20 900 inhah-
itants, and il is located in a. country
which for beauty of scenery, fertility OF
soil, and hcallhIulncss of climate, has
hardly an equal in the worlds wide
range.
While at Bnenaventura, letter was
addressed by Col. Phelan. who was one
ofthe exploring party, 10 f. w, Byrne,
ESD, a gentleman residing at Cali, ask
ing for Information respecting the minos
| in that neighborhood. NJ. Byrne's an
swer is as follows, dated 18th February
last: ..a boa vv. Ff..9 ..,,r-fi.57 rr
The information which you have re-.
ceived with regard 10 valuable mines of
gold in this part of New,Granada is cor
rect. From what have seen in my re-
| searches, | am ofopinion that Throughout
the whole of the Cordillera, which runs
| through this splendid valley of Bauca, the
mineral riches are as great as in Califor-
MIA. The specimens which | have taken
from my mines are equal TO those which
brought with me on my return from
San Francisco. The quantity of the
gold is the same, and deposites are found
in tho primitive mountnins, nj their base.
and all the livers which descend from
those mou,ans, in the alluval lands. :
The GOLD is found in the granite and
quartz rocks; but the highest indncemen'
to miners is the facility with which gold
washing may be carried on in the alluviaI
soil, where rivers and streams are found
in every direction, and can be conducted
TO any point at will.
