The Cologne Gazette has the following in.
formation from Ccnstantinople, in letter
dated May 19;
The new French Ambassador M. de Laval
lette, has had private audience Of the Sui
tan, at which he delivered his letters of ere
dence, and presented the persons attached to
the Embassy. He is particularly charged by
the Republicto urge the rights Of the Catho-
lie Christians over the Holy Sepulcre against
the Greek Christians, and to this effect he
presented 10 his Highness two autograph let
ters, couched in the most energetic terms,
from the President and from the Pope. M.
de Titow, the Russian Ambassador, has de-
livered to the Ottoman Porte emorandum,
which very much resembles formal protest,
in which he adds the following reasons to
those which have been already advanced in
favor of the the rights of Russia over the
Sepulchres. 2Na'
I. About fifty years since, a quarrel broke
out between the Greeks and the Armenians,
on the subject Of the Holy Sepulchre. A
commission, formed Of three ulemas, two
Greek, and two Armenian bishops, termina-
ted the quarrel, by deciding that it belonged
to the Greeks. There were then at Constan-
tinople French Ambassador, Catholic Bish-
ops, and legate Of the Pope, but no objec-
ton was raised by them. 2. Some years
since, after the burning Of the Temple, the
Greeks and Russians made collections for its
reconstruction. 1t was done, and no Catho-
lie power protested OF pretended that the
Greeks had built on ground that did not be-
long to them. 3. France pretends that the
Holy Sepulchre was taken from the Turks
by tine Crusaders and Incorporated by treaties
with Catholic Christianity. The Holy Sep
ulchre had, however, belonged to the Greeks
before the Turks and Moors had possession Of
it.

The Madison, Qa.,) Courier, paper which
appears to have been seduced from its demo.

the loss of some of its democratic subscri-

"We do not fear the issue. The clouds
may lower, and the storm burst, but the flag
OF freedom and equal rights will still wave
over the Ishmaelite! and amid the flashings

lighter on the water and of course she does
not draw as much water by Is or eighteen
inches as the old boat. Her boilers are both
longer and of greater diameter, so that she
can generate much larger amount of steam.
She has also increased her power upwards of

her cylinders. We noticed a valuable i'm
provement consisting of steam guage hang

at glance the pressure of steam in the boil

cabin areall double and the bedding through
out is OF the best kind. Texas is finished

several other Improvements made and to be

Profits of Adyertisiur.

Many seem to stick to the fallacious no.
tion that there is no profit or advantage m

entered mans brain. Show us the man
that advertises freely, remarks an exchange
let it be in one or five papers, and we can
point to you the man who does proportion.
Tally more business than his neiShbor who
does not advertise. A man whose business
is known TO fifty thousand, certainly has the
advantage over him who confines the knowI.
edge OF his trade to limited circle of per.
personal acquaintances. Why is it that a
clerk always obtains an extra salary. on ac-
count OF his extensive acquaintance, IN Or
der to bring more custom to his new EN-.
yloyer? Merchants freely pay high salaries,
for this one purpose. At the same time
were they 10 advertise freely, which would
not cost them ten per cent. of the extra
salary they pay for such clerk, thew would
command five times the business. Thev do
not seem to learn, that the very clerk TO
whom they are paying extra wages formed

been attached by the property man to new

In celebrating the election of new Presi.

Tall Trees.

The following tall story of tall trees Is
told by California correspondent of the Til
bune & Clipper:
/ thought that old Scioto could boast Of
large trees, but this country leaves her in the
back ground. There is white cedar tree a
short distance from this place, that meas
ures nineiy-two feet in circumference. and
towering almost to the clouds. And another
that has been blown down for many years
and the bark and sap all rotted off, which Is
one hundred and sixty yards from the stump
to where it has been burnt of, and measures
twelve feet through the top end.
Whew !--4S0 feet from the butt to where
Che tree was burnt off and then, with basl
and sap of, measuring IL feet in diameter at
the top! We have curiosity to know
how much longer it measured from where II
was burnt in two, to the top, SO as to get at
It's entire length. 1t could not have been
less than 700 feet, or about twice as tall a
the highesto Of the hills across the river. That
will do. u

Marrants.

The total amount Of Warrants issued nm
der the act Of September 2S, 1850, up to the
lstinst., is;
1858 certificates for 160 acres each.
9086 for. 80 acres each.
9l44 for 40 acres each.
These are not assignable, but the probabili,
ty is that Congress will, by another spring
amend the act SO that they can beentered il
thename of assigns.
The amount Of Mexican or assignabl,
Warrants outstanding cannot exceed 700O O
l6O acres each. A large portion, certainly
more than halt, are defective in assignment
or barred by cayeats. The amount Of thes,
certificates now issuing is very small, beins
only l39 for the month Of May.
The consumption of Warrants for the pas
three years, has been about 1000 Of 100 acre.

Financial Prosperity Of the r,ount,v

~-r--f-r-A = ANoE - ~ - ~AAC NOuAtAye
4 When Secretary Oorwin made his scare crow
report at the commencement Of the last session
lof Congress, andprophesedt that nothing but an
increased tariff could save the country from ru-
llL we ventured to dispute the correctness oil
MI. Cofwm's reasoning, and the reliableness oil
his estimates A very brief space Of time has
FURNISHED proofs sustaining our views. BY a
statement ernanating from the Treasury Depart
ment, 1t appears that the revenues for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1851, will exceedthe esti-
mates by Five Millions Of Dollars.
The entire revenue for the year lust closed
will exceed fifty millions of dollars
We cannot but rejoice at these evidences oi
the great prosperity Of the country; and we also
rejoice that the arguments advanced to favor a
resort to increased taxation upon the laboring
and producing classes, for the benefit of special
interests, have been so signally falsifed. The
people, and especiallythe agricultural classes,
will now see better into the character and de-
sign of that policy which is forever seeking ex-
cuses to increase taxation for the benefit of the
few, IN opposition to the interests of the many.
We, do hope, however, that the extraordinary
prosperity In the financial condition of the conn-
uy Will not induce greater extravaganza ON the
part of the Government; but that it will recon.
mend reduction of the duties imposed ,non
such articles as are essential to the comfort ~
the poorer class VI
A good and wise policy demands that the du-
ties should be placed at the lowest rate ,lpon ali
articles Of general consumption. A low tariff
is proved to be most favorable to an increase of
revenue, 10 an increase of the comforts of The n
people, and to healthy development Of All the the
resources of the country. A patriotic and eco-
nomical Government, light taxes, rich and nro.
llfc soil, and free, industrious and nioral peo-
pie, will make the country great, powerful ana
prosperous in spite of all foreign rivalry and on
position. On the other hand, a selfish and ex-
travagant Government, and high taxes, will re-
tard the progress of any country, and make the
people discontented, divided and weak. ! This
Republic has now arrived at stage in its exs-
tence, when it becomes of the first Importance
to its future prosperity, that the tendency in its
Government to greater extravagance and higher
taxation, should receive an effectual check from
the people. The extravaganza of Monarcbies
is one oftheir worst features-one of the causes
OF their decline and destruction. A Republic
would be declared failure, as form Of gov.
eminent did it rot prove itself more economical
than Monarchy.

OT 1t is stated that agents of the Mexi
can government have arrived in this country
with full power to sell the U. S., the two
provinces Of Sonora and lower California,
and chihuahua, conditionally. 1t has before
been intimated that Mexico would sell that
portion of her territory, indeed that it was
the wisest course she could pursue, if she ex.
pected to preserve her nationality. She is in
desperate strait for means to carry on the
government, and must have them from some
quarter ere long. Whether it would be bet
ter ior us to buy the territory and then have
another excitement between the north and
south, let England Or some other nation
purchase it is aquestion that might be talk
