France and Il:

France and Belgium.-Accounts from Brus-
sells, by the Cambria, states that the Bel CLANS
feel convinced that within 4 very short period
a French army will be sent to occupy the Bel
gian territory. Already they have begun to
prepare for such an event; and, what is much
more serious, the country swarms with French
agents, who have been sent there for the pur-
pose of tamiliarizing the population with the
idea Of French domination. These persons
are using every means to persuade the people
of Belgium that, by being Incorporated with
France, the advantages would all be on their
side. The higher classes would have the OPP
%portunity of distinguishing themselves as citi-
zens of the first empire in the word, instead of
being, as they are at present, subjects of a
third rate kingdom. To the manufacturing
mercantile classes they hold out the great ex-
tension which their would receive
from a new market of thiry-fve millions of
souls opened to them for their manufactures,
and from Antwerp becoming the principal port
in the North Sea. The Belgian authorities
seem to be perfectly aware of the danger, and
are using every means of avoiding anything
that can give umbrage to the French Govern
ment, and form a pretext for more active mea-
sures.

The Great Eungarianu

When KossUTH first left our vessel OF war
to proceed to England, which had been sent
for him as a special mark Of honor, we at once
condemned him. Immediately afterwards aP-
peared his address to the people of France,
which, to our mind, was further cause for Gen.
sure, and no small show of impertinence on his
part. Since that time, our disgust for his ex-
traordinary assumptions has not Iessened, on
the contrary it has increased. Gifted with rare
genius, education and oratorical brilliancy-the
throne which the masses of this country alone
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS is likewise the quintescence
of egotism, no small sprinkling of knavery,
backed by the most bold and reckless audacity
we ever heard of. He scarcely gets his foot
upon our soil, before he ridicules The doctrine
of WASHINGTON, and is mortified at the action
of Congress in regard to him. Yet, applause
follows his perorations-his progress is still
triumphant--and he continues to find plenty of
weak though human heads, to bend beneath
the visionary Jaugernot which he rolls along.
How long is this to continue?
Inc laSl OutTd5c WHICH Llie hdSJai
mitted-which induced the above--occurred in
his speech a few days since at Louisville, in
which he proclaimed Mr.. CLAY as lacking in
"gentlemanly courtesy" for making his re-
marks public which occurred at their interview.
Relative to this matter, the New Orleans Bull
letin says:
We have heard a great many hard things said
of Mr.. Clay, in years that are past and gone,
but never before have we known him to be
charged "with a breach Of confidence or a want
Of 'genAemanly courtesy." The possession of
all the qualities pertaining to a gallant gentle
man has never before been disputed, even in
times of highest POLITICAL excitement, when all
the fierce passions Of human nature were
aroused to the fullestextent. But this is on a par
with the other conduct of this ungrateful man
kossuth. Released from confinement mainly
through the instrumentality of the government
of the United States-brought to this country
in an American yessel-received with the high.
est honors at New York, Washington, and eve
rywhere else-almost has first act was to tell
the people of the United States that they did
not properly understand Washington's Fare
wei! Address, and the last has been to charge
Americas great statesmau-now lying on a bed
of death--in effect, wih being no gentleman!
His speech is said to have created intense
dissatisfaction in Louisville. And well it might.
IF Kentuckians of the present day are at all like
their forefathers, that dissatisfaction will yet be,
expressed in Il manner too significant to be mis-
understood.

Gen, Scott and the Presidency Of Merico.-

Gen, Scott and the Presidency Of Merico.-
The N. Y. Times says, the statement that Gen.
Scott was offered the Presidency of Mexico,
and at once refused it, is true:
"The offer occurred just after Gen Scott had
been recalled By his Government, and peace
had been concluded with Mexico. The offer
cam from the Government of Mexico, and was
made in consequence of the administrative abil-
ity which Gen Scott had displayed: and the per-
feet security and success which had attended
his executive. action in that country. Clearly
seeing this, and anxious forts continuance, the
Mexican Government distinctly offered to Gen.
Scott the Presidency of the RenHblic, and an
annual salary of s25o,0oo for FIVE years-ma4
king in all a million and a quarter--providedl
hegWould retain under his command such ofhisl
soldiers as should, after regular discharge from
thepseruiee of the United States, volunteer to re-
mainin Mexico. 1t was moreover agreed to
guarantee to Gen. Scott, if he would accept the
offer, the regular payment of the money prom
ised."

Africa once an Esland.-A correspondent of
one of the London papers, writing from Alex
andria, Egypt, on the 2lst of January, says:
"Mr. Robert Stephenson, (the celebrated en-
gineer,) sailed from this port for England in
his yacht 1ftania, on the 18th inst, having
previously visited the bed of Lake Timseh,
and the Bitter Lakes on the Isthmus of Suez,
with a view to determine certain geological
facts respecting which doubts had been enter
tanned. Mr.. Stephenson states that evidence
enough exists to show that, at a period by no
means remote, Africa must have been an ISL
and, and the Mediterranean and Red Sea united.
He has collected scientific matter of consider
able extent and interest, and his researches will,
doubtless, be given to the world in one shape
or another.

Singular Pheuomenon.--Atabou 10 o'clock,
on Sunday night last, a phenomenon truly stri-
king and extraordinary, occurred here. 1t was
the circumstance of the falling of a really copi-
GUS rain, for the space of from seven to ten min
'utes, from a1perfectly cloudless, h~aziIess, and
starlit sky. So plentiful was the shower that
the sidewalks ran with water, which had the
singular effect upon the mind of appearing to
come without a cause. During the shower,
two streaks of aeecy clouds displayed them
selves ingthe north and south, but far distant
from each other, and neither of an altitude
above the horizon exceeding twenty degrees.
The position of these clouds forbids the idea
that the rain could have fallen from either of
them. We make no ~efortto explain this strange
satisfying ourselves with bare
but faithful statement Of it.-Nat. Intel, FEB.

Louisiana Democratic Convention.
From the PicaVune.

RATION ROUGE, Feb. 9.-The Democratic
convention met at / O'Clock to-day, and organ
oanized by the appointment OF DR.. w. Scott
Of Baton Rouge, as President; u. Z. baboalt
and Geo. E. Eustice, Jr., Secretaries.
One hundred and seventy-nine delegates
were present.
The convention then adjourned, and met
again at 5 o'clock.
Much difficulty arose as to the mode OF ac-
ton of the convention. A great many propo-
sitions were made and it was hhaliy de-
termined that the vote should be taken as TO
who was the choice of the convention. Amidst
much confusion the vote was taken. Buchanan
was withdrawn, his friends uniting with the
Cass men. The result of the vote was: Cass,
lOl; Douglas, 70.
A resolution declaring Douglas the second
choice of the convention was voted down.
Resolutions were adopted approving of the
platform of the last Democratic National Con-
| %vention.
A resolution was adopted that the Democrats
would vote for any nomination made at Baitl.
more.
Also a resolution to appoint forty-eight dele
gates from the State at large; and each electo-
ral district to nominate its own electors and
substitutes.
The convention then took q recess to noml-
nate electors.
The Douglas men were in great glee all day.
Buchanan men were very scarce. No harmony
whatever in the convention.
The convention again assembled, and the
following were the electors appointed:
First District--E. w. Noise and H. Phillips.
.Second Diskrict-J. B. Piauche and w. bun
bar.
Third Decentralization Landry and }. a..
Scully. ,,c
Fourth District--R. G. Davidson and K. Z.
Wickliffe.
Fifth Distric--J. o. Moore and {. Fl. Mou-
ton.
Sirth District--R. w. Richardson and II.
Phillips.
The second one named in each district to act
as substitute.
Judge Walker introduced a set of resolu,
tons to extend the right Of suffrage to the cleo.
ton of all officers by the people; Limitation OF
the power of legislation; prohibition of charter
ed monopolies; annual sessions of the Leglsla-
ture; which were adopted.
Judge Walker stated that it was necessary
to pass these resolutions in order to defeat the
Wings, who have stolen their thunder.
Mr.. Delony introduced resolutions to constl-
tute a Democratic Executive Committee; and
also one fvs each parish.
After the usual resolutions and thanks to the
officers, the Convention adjourned sine die,
with three cheers for Cass.

tivated in enormous fields of hurdrrd, oforr"s.
The delightful odor from these fields caa &c

manner-On 40 pounds of roses are poured
60 pounds of water, and they arc then distilled
over a slow fire, and 80 pounds of rose water
obtained. This rose water is then poured over
forty pounds Of fresh roses, and from that is
distilled at most 30 pounds Of rose water; this
is then exposed to the cold night air, and in the
morning a small quantity Of oil is found on the
surface. From 80 pounds ~ofroses, a~bout200.-

Congress,--The Locofoco party has a deci.
ded majority in both Houses of Congress, and
can carry to maturity such measures as they
choose. But that body has been now in SEES
sion nearly three months, and not a single i'm
p~ortant bill has been passed. The people are
beginning to inquire, what is Congress doing!
Why does the session pass without some i'm
portant measure being perfected? There can
be no answer given to these questions but that
the members of the majority are to much en-
gagged in nominating the next President, and
thus securing to themselves the possibility of
the shares of the coming spoils. to think about
business, or the good of their country.-Har-
ford Counaat.

Death of q Lady from Griec-Mrs. Apn

Deaaho o a Lady from Grisf-Mrs. Agnes
Boyd, of Cincinnati, it is said, died of grief a
few days ago. in consequence of the decease
of her husband. During the week previous to
her death she was almost constantly occupied
in prayer, interrupted at frequent intervals by
ineoherent maniacal supplications to her chill
dren. She took no foodspor nourishment of
any kind, save such as were forced upon her,
and when the stricken spirit fled, the fair tene-
ment it had occupied was reduced almost to a
skeleton. She was. only Twenty-Five years of
age, a lady of rare accomplishments, and the
daughter of the Rev. DR.. George, of Philadel-
phia.
