ourselves, we hope that justice will be awarded
to the undetermined and talented lady, Mrs.

SO many years, been bent on securing her rights
The s'New Orleanian" of a late date contains
the following:
"All those interested in this case in New Orleans
and they are numerous-both for and against
the claims of the daughter of the late Daniel
Clarke, are on the qut nee, anxious to learn
every item regarding it, to be advised of its prog

nearly score of years, and under difficulties,
and impediments, and annoyances, which would
have disheartened any ordinary woman, has zeal

fuence. Long, long ago. did the usurpers of her
rights-the plunderers of her heritage-imagine
they would have crushed her; that, ere the pres

been stilled that she would have gone to join
her too truthful father; and that them without
further interruption, they could banquet on her

engaged with all his heart, his means, and his in

The following article from the New York Cou
rer and Enquirer relative to the declared stock of
cotton in Liverpool We think worthy of attention ::
The Asia's advIces disappont the trade gcner
ally, but produced no effect upon prices. The ad
dition made to the stock was not unexpected, but
the practice is considered on this side at least al
though sanctioned by usage, as very reprehensi-
Bile. 1t has, however, signaliy failed in the ef-
feet desired. We anticipated it from the necessl-
ty of the case, as 1t evident that the stock
running down too fast in Liverpool to suit the
views Of Manchester, and accordingly wrote in our
article, per Europa, Dec. 3lst: Much interest is
felt to learn the declared stock of America in Great
Britain on the 31st Dec, and on this subject there
is wide margin in the estimates here made aris-
ing solely, however, from the different views en-
tertained of the quantity to added for error ia
stock taking
We hazard nothing in saying that the supply
that can be obtained from the present crop, will
at current rates, fail short of the actual require
ments for the consumption of the world, and fec!
also, that it is time that the foreign view Of tile
subject namely, that the United States must ac-
cept ten millions Of dollars less for crop of g 40O
600 $500, 900 bales, than for of two mil
lions, compelling the country, after renting in
addition thereto her valuable securities in payment
for imports to liquidate the remaining balances in
specie, should be met this side By more judi
cious course in despatch of the crop, which could
be made to turn the balance in our favor
Suppose, for moment that England occupied
the position now held by the United States, in re-
aton to the production of cotton, and that she
was aware that our supplies from her our peo-
pie depended for employment, and in fact, that IT
effected the very system of our government, what;
would be her declaration? Our price IS fxeds
take it or have it as you please We may not
yet have the capital in the country to enable to-
assume this position, but we are every year ap-
proximating it, and sooner or later the banks of
this country will find that it is their interest to aid
in establishing and maintaining, not high, but u
full and remuneralng price for cotton.
The sales reported on change 1900 bales,
without sufficient variation to authorize any alter
alton in variations of Yesterday, which we here

" AsHINGToN, Feb

The Kossuth fever has broken out again, with
greater magnty than ever. His crusade has
gained fresh and fervent converts in the Far west,
and the echo has startled the politicians here flom
their slumbers on the subject. The accounts in
the western papers of the reception of Kossuth in
those States, as well as the incidents given by
travellers from that region, show how deep and
powerful the impression he has excited has been.
Peter the hermitnever preached his call with more
earnestness and energy, nor received more enthu-
sIastlc responses From Pittsburg to Cincinnati,
where he now is, Kossuth has swept everything
before him like whirlwind The roadsides and
stopping places are beleagured by crowds, who "a
bandon their usual occupations, to see and hear
the idol of the hour. Money and muskets are
freely offered by associations, and individuals bring
with them funds which they offer him at the diff
ferent stations where opportunity offers. In fact,
it is a perfect furor, unparalleled in the annals OF
this country-and instead of abating, it seems to
gather new strength in the popular mind Much
Of this doubtless, is attributable to the interest
inspired by the personal peculiarites and rare en-
dowments of the man himself, but much more to
feverish excitabilities of the public mind, and its
readiness to receive new impressions The man
cannot be separated from the doctrines OF which
he is the missionary, and as much of the enthusl-
asm excited is owing to the latter as the former

A Sketch f, ON French Hi tory.

Previous to the 9th of November, 1799 the
French Government consisted of Fire Directors
Sieyes, Ducos, Barras, Gobier, Moulins Il Coun-
eli of Ancients Il Chamber Of Ftue Hundred.--
On the 9th of November Sieyes and Ducos made
report to the Council, intended to awaken the
attention and excite the alarm of the French peo
pie. Paris, they said, filled with enemies of
public order-persons dangerous to the welfare of
the Republic. The Council rendered a decree
transferring the seat of the legislative body ST.
Cloud charged Bonaparte with the execution of
this decree, and placed the whole military force
his disposal. On receiving these orders, the Gen
eral thus addressed the Council:
1.-The Republic was about to perish you fore
saw it, and saved it by your decree. No betide
those who threaten-it with trouble and dscord
Aided by Gen. Lefebvre, Gen. Berthier, and all
my faithful companions in-arms, will defeat their
designs They need not search the past for pre-
cedents by which our action may be arrested
Nothing in history resembles the close of the pre-
sent century Nothing in the close Of this century
resembles the present moment. Your wisdom
conceived this decree our arms will know how to
execute it, We want Republic founded upon
real liberty. We will hare it. l swear it l

After this Bohaparte reviewed ten thousand
troops at the Tuilleries. The three Directors who
perceived they were about to be displaced, then
sent an agent to offer terms to him his reply is
well known. 1t was couched in the most indig-
nant terms
.'What have you DONE" he cried ''with that
France which | left so glorious in your hands
left you peace | find you at l left you vic
tories | find nothing but disasters. l left you
millions of the treasures of Italy and find on all
sides extortion and wretchedness. Whathave you
done with the hundred thousand Frenchmen, com.
panions of my glory. all of whom l knew They
are in their graves This state of things mus
cease it would lead us all to despotism Wha
we want is the Republic, the Republic seated
firmly upon the foundations of equality and lib
erty."
On the next day he suddenly appeared in the
Chamber of the Five Hundred at St. Cloud, with
a chosen body of armed grenadiers. At his pre-
sence, the Duputies rose in tumult. and filled the
hall with cries of Dictator Cromwell Caesar
down with him So energetic was their resist
ance at first resistance only in words, that the
Conqueror of the Pyramids faltered in his design
He turned back from the Assembly and retired
from the hall.
1t was upon this occasion that his brother Lucien
who occupied the chair as President of the Assem-
bly,, decided the fate of France. Stepping ovel
the threshold of the hail. he gave instant orders
battalion of grenadiers to enter the Assembly
with bayonets fixed. They cleared the room the

PRICE OF CoTToN--A late number of ID Bow 5
Review contains very able article on the crop
and supply of cotton. The writer thinks the price
of the article will be much higher this year than
it is at present, and for the following reasons
1st. The next crop will necessarily be light
one. as the numerous factories, railroads. plank
roads, beautiful country mansions and public i'm
pr6vements undertaken will direct large portion
of labor from the culture of cotton to that of bread
stuffs.
Cd He thinks the prediction Of cotton cannot
keep pace with the demand for it. There is no
other country in the world where it can be sue
cessfully cultivated, and it is rapidly supcrscdfng
flax and hemp.
Sd The writer says the planter cannot make
cotton cheap as he did some years since, when
lands were worth 9 or So per acre, and slaves 3
or 400 dollars. Now the lands are worth IS and
SO per acre and slaves 700 to 1000 dollars. But
the manufacturer can afford to pay much higher
prices now for cotton than he did ten years ago, in
consequence of the improvement in machinery,
&c, DC.
4th. The stock Of cotton on hand iii Europe,
the writer says, is lighter than it has been for
several years and he thinks there may be panic
before long
He strongly urges the propriety of holdrg 6 back
the cotton crop for better prices:
