the month,of August: Letters received, briefed

patents prepared, 4,l6s; patents recorded,
$3.50; military warrants examined, 1919;

THE HONE SoUADRoN.-We are inclined to
believe that this squadron have very recently
been ordered to make cruise to the eastward,
or will be so ordered shortly.
GENERAL CAss AND THE FRENCH MISSION.
Finding in Northern papers a reiteration of
the story that the French Mission has been
rendered to General Cass, we have again to
say that there is no truth in it. His services
in the Senate are evidently of far too much
value, just now, to the Administration, to JUS
tify them in dispensing with them there, in
order to compliment even him with a mis-
sion. At this time, there is no question in issue
between the United States and France, to make
the tender of that post to General Cass more
than a mere compliment.
THE PROPOSED NEW DEMOCRATIC ORGAN IN
NEW YoRK-From reliable information, we
are enabled to state that the proposed New
York journal, under the auspices of Col. John
W. Forney, is to make its appearance
early in the coming month. The pur-
pose of those interested in its publication
is to make it what is termed ''national" in
that region, but devoted to the union of the
party and the support Of the present Execu-
tive, which covers a hearty support of his adj
ministration; as any other course will be but
lipservice, the President's future of reputation
as well as Of everything else, being wrapped
up in the success of the Administration of
which he is the head and front 1t is certain
that ample means have been raised to secure
the success Of this enterprise under prudent
management 1t cannot be otherwise than
that the removal of Col. Forney to New York,
in the capacity in which he is to 60 there, will
surely do much for the cause of bringing
up the disgruntled Hards to the work of pull
ing kindly in the harness hereafter. We learn
further that Col I. by no means proposes to
decline his present position under Congress;
still remaining a candidate for the clerkship.
