REMOVAL OF THE HAVANA CoNsUL.-The
Baltimore Sun says that the removal Of Mr..
Owen was not effected until after the Consul
had been afforded the most ample opportunity
for attempted self-justifcation. So careful
was the President that no possible injustice
should ensue TO Mr. Owen that after having re-
ceiyed his first defence, which was deemed in
sufficient, action in the case was deferred until
since the late arrivals from Havana; but Mr..
Owen and his friends in his behalf failing to
make the matter appear any better, the delin-
quent Consul has to give way to one who may
more worthily fill the post of American repre-
sentative at so important n point. ~ ..a.

his body in the most comfortable Of dressing

! FRAscE.--Mr. Walsh, a long resident Of Pa
ris in 4 letter to the Journal of Commerce,
written on the 10th ofSeptcmber, says:
That great events are just before us is Ger
tain. That crisis of which have often spo-
ken to you is drawing very near. Between
the 18th day of September and the middle or
end of next May, the destinies of Europe for
probably half a century-which in these days
is very long time--wiIl be decided. A fierce
struggle--it may be most desperate and
bloody struggle--between liberty, civil and re-
ligious, on the one hand, and hoary despotism
in politics and religion on the other. What
will be the issue, God alone knows! sa ~.at
l find that there is a wonderful activity here
in the political world. The foreign ambassa-
doris, especially those of Austria, Prussia, and
Russia, have frequent conferences, and are con-
stantly sending and receiving dispatches. Nor
are the ministers resident of the small powers,
such as Sardinia, Naples, Spain, the States Of
the Church, Belgium and Holland, idle Those
of England and the United States are wide
awake, and the former has not a little to do to
look after these Continental States, and tho
movements Of their rulers. s4 svt a-ea

lures were finely cut, and his expression. even

en- bore neither name nor initial. Attached to
the neck of the corpse was Il small glass vial,
corked and sealed; in this WAS Il paper, on which
were the following words:
81 die-young, it is true; and if my body is
discovered, | shall perhaps be pitied. But
do not ask for pity. An angel appeared to me
in q dream and said to me: i am the Genius
of France; in thy veins runs royal blood, but

ted by parties and individuals, it is necessary
for thee to visit the cterna! ruler Of all things

shall come the hour of thy triumph. | have
spoken?' And the angel disappeared. fulfill
his command. But leave this paper, in order
that if the Celestial Envoy has deceived me,
the Attorney General of the Republic may
commence proceedings against him.
