tcle has appeared the subject Of the recent gold
discovery, from the pen Of Leon Faucher for nerly
French Minister of Finances. NJ Leon Faucher is
of the epinion that the great influx of gold only
temporary and that the area upon which it operatesis
vast that the general level value will be affected

century must elapse before, at the present rate Of
production, sum Of gold can be accumulated equal
to the annual income of England alone. One half

conclusion is, that no change wit take place.

American diplomacy requires only to be known to
be thoroughly despised. The late dispute on the
Gsheries fostered on mere electoneering motives
by candidate for the Presidential chair has hardly
been settled, when the would King Of the States
makes second appearance in the character of Bully
Ben. The Lobos Islands take the place Of the
fisheries, and Peru is to be bullied instead Of Eng
land being cheated When the question Of the Lo-
hos ISLANDS and their valuable guano deposits was
mooted in England, our government not less anxi-
Gus than that OF America to secure the benefit Of
this discovery for our agricultursts, calmly and
carefully investigated the title Of Peru to these s
| lands, and declined, ''however advantageous it
might be,to appropriate hescisands declare them

national interest" At the same time Yankee
