temper his discussion with the Union rel
alive to the history of the British Frig-
ate Leonder, now anchored in the har-
Dor of New York. While frankly adj
hitting the Unions right to "criticize
according to it's own views, the conduct
of any nation or it's agents as freely as it
might do in the case of public man in
our own country" the editor, continuing,
makes the following well-timed remarks:
"'Vhat we said was general, and in.
tended to look beyond the isolated case
we cited; we had no more reference to
England, or to any manifestations of hos
tlllty to that Power, than we had to
France or Spain, or to Russia. It was
not question of our coincidence in the
friendship of the British Government, :"
but of frequent proclivity to unconsid-
cred abuse, in and out of season to take
for granted facts upon proverbially in
correct foundation, and so to build upon
them accusations and aspersions which
may or may not be jpstifiable after the
truth is known, but which at the time are
premature, and we'll adapted to loosen the
bonds that unite US in amity with other
nation, and which we sincerely trust may
long continue, notwithstanding what we
are afraid was meant for sheer in the
closing sentence of our neighbours stric-
lures"
The same paper contains a hitherto
unpublished letter from the late Daniel
Webster upon the subject of temperance,
which shows that the mind of that dis
tinguished man was alive to the import
ance of the influence of good habits. The
lntelhgencer also essays to discountenance
the disease of ofiice-seeking, which is 50
rapidly corrupting our Government in all
its branches.
The Republic addresses handsome
valedictory to its subscribers, it's paper of
this morning being the last of it's fourth
volume, and Of its late series. On Wed
nesday next it is to appear as an indie
pendent two-cent sheet, " devoted to the
same political principles which it has
supported under the administration of
Mr.. Fillmore" &C..
The Union denounces the continued
lmpudent intermeddling of English Abo-
lltionists with slavery in the United
States, and defends Mr.. Secretary McClel-
lands political history from recent as
sault made in an address from the Wing
Central Committee for the Ashland Dis
trict of Kentucky. Our former towns
man, Henry May, Esq, who is the Dem
ocratic nominee for Congress, in the 4th
district of Maryland, receives handsome
share of the Editors praises. We quote
from this journal the following interesting
item of Crystal Palace news, viz:
THE Courier des Etats Unis has a
letter from Paris, dated June 18th, stating
that 1.-The Paris journals which announced
the early departure of NJ. Sallandrouze de
la Mornaix for New York have not spoken
accurately of the mission confded to him
by the government. NJ. Sallandrouze
does not 60 to exercise at the New York
exposition the functions of commissioner.
There is at New York French commits
sioner, M. Barthes, acting as intermediary
between the directors of the exposition
and the French exhibitors. M. Sallan-
drouze is to represent France and her
government at this grand concourse of the
manufactures and productions of all ma
tons. He is charged to see, study, and
compare the products of various origins
to prove the superiority of the French;
to make known the improvements profit
able to their manufactures to discover
the markets that can be opened for them,
and the treaties which may be usefully
concluded.
"M. Sallandrouze will embark about
the end of June or the early part of July
on the steamer which, under the name of
La RENE Hortense, was employed last
year IN the excursion of the Minister of
Marine and the Emperor himself, and is
fitted up with great luxury. This vessel
will remain at his disposal during his
stay in America, and for his return. The
