REIGN OF TERROR IN FRANcE.-The terror
in the provinces goes on increasing daily. In
many parts of the country the troops 90 out and
beat the woods for men, as if they were hunting
game. A detachment of the 35tlf regiment,
after long chase, lately caught seventeen in a
forest at St. Thibery, in the Herault, at the
unsportsmanlike hour of o'clock in the morn
ing. In the same neighborhood the paper.
of to-day speak of arrests by the dozen,
and by the score, as having been made
by the military at Roujan Puisalicou, Caux
Nefie and Pezenas. At Clermont, Canet,
St. Andre, Aspiron, and several commun of Lo-
deve, cafes and public houses without number
have been closed. In the vaucluse a lieuten-
ant of gendarmerie, at the head of some gendar-
mes and $50 men of the 54th Regiment have
been very successful in making captures. A
man named Sauvan, who took to his heels, was
brought down by grenadier. The ball entered
his back and came out at his belly, yetwonder-
fully to relate the man still lives. At Cuers the
sport seems to be left to the civil power NJ
Girard, a judge Of instruction, is interchangeable
there. Within the last three days he arrested
$40 men, being about one fourth of the male
population of the place. The jailor at Toulon
was the other day surprised at the visit of a
large column Of men, who, struck with terror,
and driven to despair by by the incessant har-
RAISING of the soldiery, came to surrender them
selves prisoners He had not room to lodge so
much unexpected company, and after taking
down their names, begged them to be good
enough to call again. This they did and they
We're ultimately slowed away somewhere. In
the fort of Lamalgue, at Toulon, there are now
1900 prisoners. In the neighborhood of Crest,
the pursuit of political refugees can only be
compared to channels hunting. The country
there is rocky, and several of the prescribed
have been shot at repeatedly by voltigeurs, as
they skip from rock to rock. The chase here has
not hitherto been so successful as in many 9TH
er places, for after long and fatiguing day the
troops only captured one man, named Danjou.
He was, however, a leader, and the capture is

From the N. O. Picayune, Feb. g.
FROM MEXICO.

By the arrival of the Hercules we have re-
ceived full files of papers from the city of Mexi-
co to January oath, and from Vera Cruz to the
9th ult. We learn that only one person was
lost from the Robert Spedden and four from the
Jrdio Erante. The total number of lives lost
was twelve. On shore no damage was DONE
The total loss by this disaster is estimated at
little less than million of dollars.
From the lst of December, 1850, to Novem-
Der 3Oth, 1851, there where received into the
prisons of Mexico, 8,l19 men and S,767 wo-
men.
Vera Cruz paper says that the English
steamers will soonrecommence touching at Ha-
Vana.
The propeller Gen. Stockton was sold at Aca-
pulcoby order OF the American Consul, for lack
OF funds to prosecute her voyage. The Mexi-
can authorities interviewed and pronounced the
sale NULL the Consul insisted on his right of ju-
risdiction over the vessel, and the Judge decided
that the sale was valid The vessel still remains
in the hands of the authorities.
The Trait d Union says that Mexico has pas
sed through severe commercial crisis. There
have been many failures but creditand business
were at last revivng.
Rumors OF pronunciamentos are still rife,
though there appears to be nothing alarming on
the tapis. 1t was reported that the large and
PoWlul Guy vi OidflhJuatO ildu pronounced III
favor of lturbide, eldest son of the Emperor of
that name. 1t was also said that lormida-
BILE conspiracy was about to be developed in the
city of Mexico Neither of these reports has
yet received confirmation. A revolt which at
one time looked serious had broken ont at Ten
aneingo, but was easily suppressed. 1t was
headead by an ecclesiastic.
Another revolt, headed by man calling him
self Lopez Sastre, '.the soldier of the country"
was raised at Coatepec. The leader protested
to have discovered correspondence showing
concusively that President Arista was impli-
Gated with Carvajal in his recent nsurectiona-
ny movements. The UnirerSal and the Sielo
were both denounced by the Government for
copying Sastres's ''plan'' containing this ac-
count.
On the 1st ult. the diplomatic corps wal
ted on the President, to pay their respects to
him.
The Mexican Congress commencedit its session
on the lst ut. The President delivered long
address, as message.
He commenced by speaking of the difficult
ties in which the country is involved, and calls
on Congress to use all its efforts toremoye them.
He then spoke Of The events of the past year,
the reolutions in the south and centre, and the
energetic means he had taken to restore order;
and then to the incursions into the territory of
the Republic, made by the hordes of adventurers
who came from California, and over the Mexican

The citizens of portion of Loudoun and
Fauquier counties have recently assembled to
set on foot means foreonstructing railroad from
the village of Middlebury, on the confines ofthe
two counties, to the Manassas Gap road, a dis
lance of about nine miles. The meeting adop-
ted a memorial setting forth the grounds upon
which the aid Of the Legislature was solicited.
The principal object to be gained by the con
struetionofthisr ad,apartr from the benefits aceru-
ing to those who would make use of it, would be,
that large amount of tonnage which now finds
its way to Baltimore, would, by means of the
proposed road be carried to our own city oil

presented to the Legislature, we will be prepar-
ed to discuss its merits at large. We are ever
on the look out to advance an application of the
principles of Internal Improvement, in such a
manner as to afford in our own confines market
for our own citizens. This policy has not only
in poitico-economical point of view tenden
cy to confer important benefits upon the Com
ing the affections of border population to our
own State. The people of Loudoun and that
portion of Fauquier which borders upon Lou
doun, have for many years felt that they have
been more deeply interested in the prosperity of
Baltimore than in that of any Virginia town.
By the construction of the proposed road from
Middebury, the Legislature would, i'll a great
degree, abolish this condition of things, and
more firmly fix the hearts of these people to
their own State. This, by the way, is not the least
Important consideration that has weighed,
and we trust will continue to weigh, with the
Legislature in opening the channels of trade
between the Western and Eastern parts of the
State. Lines of Internal improvement give a
oneness to State, that not only render her re-
sources and strength more available, but like
wise her people homogeneous in feeling and in
terest. We mean here to cast no sort of re-
Election upon the people of Loudon County and
those of Western Virginia, but it has been the
observation of history, that the population living
upon the outskirts of State, have generally
experienced the emotions of patriotism in a
milder degree than those who reside nearer the
heart of the country. And why is this For the
obvious reason that their marketing interests are
found oftener to lie beyond the bounds of their
own country.

The Society of Friends separated in New
York, in 1928, and both divisions have been
continued ever since. At the time of the
separation, property amounting to some $780,
600 was adjudged by law to belong to the di-
vision known as Hicksites The Hicksites at
their last meeting, agreed, after full consde-
ration ofthe matter, to pay over to the other
division, commonly called Orthodox, 1925, 900,
or one half of the estimated value of the proper
ty at the time of the separation, which has ac-
cordingly been done. This act exhibits gen
uine christian liberality, and is worthy of all
praise and imitation.

A route Opeaedto the West.-We see by the
Parkersburg (Va.) Gazette that line of stages
has commenced running from Parkersburg to
Cheat river where it connects with the Balti-
moro and Ohio Railroad-the distance from
Parkersburg to Baltimore by this route being
two hundred and fifty-five miles by railroad, and
one hundred and thirty three miles by coaches.
This offers an almost direct passage to Cincinna-
ii, and thence to the West generally.

dram," or in any quantity, with Il view to their
being drank on the premises is prohibited, and
"dram shops" are declared public nusances.
And to prevent evasions and subterfugcs, such
as selling n cracker and giving glass of grog,
courts and juries are required TO construe the
law so rs to cover them. The law works well
so far as il goes. But it doesn't 90 far enough.
The traffic in liquors as articles of merchandise
is not prohibited; and the only effectual remedy
against i,s ravaees is its total expulsion from
the State. What We now want is the Maine
law; and now is the time for the Western States
to adopt such law. fthcy neglect il for n
few years they will find themselves over-stocked

effect after its publication in the Iowa True

and il consequently has not gone into effect.

How He DID IT.--Seldrn mentions a
curious illustration of English law, how
a London merchant got payment of a
debt from the King OF Spain. The mer-
chant proceeded against him in the En-
ghsh courts in the ordinary form, and as
the debtor did not choose TO make ap-
pearance or plead, The conclusive cere-
mony OF oulawry was performed. 1t
appears that the preliminary slept 10 this
dcnunciation was an inquiry after tn"
debtor in all the neighboring alehousrs,
there being presumed to be the place
where those who owe most resort. Sell
den gives ludicrous account OF the in
curry at each alehouse, if the King OF
Spain was there, aud the formal return
Of universal negative by the Office:
whereupon, in usual form, outlaWrv was
pronounced against him. In the end
this was found to be no joke. Whilst
the sentences of ulawry stood against
him, none of his subjects could recover
debts in the English courts, which We're
closed to the whole Spanish nation, and
in the end the London merchant was
paid his debt.
