to cereals much better suited 10 our humid and
uncertain climate. However, there is now great
anxiety for dry summer weather, as much more
moisture might be very injurious. The flax
crop, with few exceptions, looks exceedingly
well. Up to this time, the crops OF all kind,

Consul.

Augsburg Gazette, gives an account of misun.
derstanding which has ar sen between the Amer.
lean consul at Bremen and the Hanoverian
authorities Of Lehe, q place quite on the frontier
Of the territory Of Bremen, and having, it would
seem, jurisdiction over portion Of the roads Of
Bremerhaven. The facts of the case are these !:
Six sailors Of the United States bark Arethusa
had got into debt at Bremerhaven with public
house keeper, who, on hearing that the Arethu-
ga was to sail in few days, applied to the
authorities of Bremerhaven to ge. the sailors
arrested, or elce their property seized; but the
authorities had no power in the matter, owing
to recent law Of Bremen, which prohibits the
arrest for debt Of sailors in active service, or the
seizure OF their property. The creditor then
bethought himself of the following plan to OBJ
tain payment: He transferred his claim to an
inhabitnnt of Lshe, who applied to the Hanover
ian authorities; the latter, Immediately on the
out boat demanding the arrest of the sailors
in question; and rs the captain demurred, he
was threatened with forcb bic measures, and that
the cannon of the adjacent Hanoverian fort were
ready loaded to enforce the demand. The cap.

consul, who has just sent note to the Hanov.

of $500, The liberation of the American sailors,
and their free passage home, begging, at the
same time, to be Informed Of the exact demarca-

ELYsEE NATIONAL, June % 1852.
Gentlemen AT the moment Of the close OF
the session of 1852 | have to return you my
thanks for the loyal co operation and support
you have given to our new institutions. You
have known how to resist what is the most dam
gerous amongst assembled men-the being car.
red away by esprit de cops-and, all suscepti.
bility laid aside, you have occupied yourselves
with the great interests of the country, feeling
that the epoch of imprisoned and sterile dis
courses had passed away, and that Of business
had arrived.
The application Of new system always en-.
counters diff :ulties; you have had your share
of them. lfoccupation has seemed to be want
ing at your earlier meetings, you have under
stood that the desire of abrdging the term Of
my dictatorship and my anxiety to call lou
around me had been the cause of it, in depriving
my government of the time necessary for the
preparation of the laws which were to be sub

that exceptional state of things was the accumu

Nevertheless, the first trial of the constitution,
completely of French origin, must have con
WINGED you that we possessed the conditions Of
a strong and free government The govern
ment is no longer that passive butt against
which the various oppositQns directed, with i'm
punity, their shafts. 1t can resist their attacks,
and henceforth follow system, without having
recourse either to arbitrary rule or to dupioity.
On the other hand, the control Of the assembly
is serious, for discussion is free, and the voting
Of the taxes decisive.
As to the imperfections whirh experience has
shown US our common love for the public good
will tend necessarily to diminish their inconve-
nirnce until the senate shall have pronounced iis
opinion.
During the interval of the recess, shall direct
all my efforts to find out what are the wants of
the country. and to prepare the projects which
may permit me to diminish the burdens of the
State without detriment to the public service.
On your return to your duties, will lay be-
fore you the result of our labors and the gen.
era state of affairs, in the message that the con
stitutOn obliges me to address to you every
