Mr.. Mason's Interview.-Among the letter,
received by the Europen diplomatists in thi
city, by the Atlantic's mails, were half doz
en-, rendering 1t certain to our mind that tn.
newspaper statements concerning the detail,
of the recent interview between Mr.. Masor
and the French Minister for Foreign Affair.
are substantially correct. Or, in other words
that when asked for the reasons for depressing
MIR Soule's permission to pass through France
the representative of the French Foreign OF
fee raked up Cuba, and half dozen othe,
matters appertaining to our relations with
other Governments with that of Franco
This shows that the allegation that Mr.. Soule's
intimacy with Mr.. Sanders was the shallowes
possible pretence, and that the insult wa.
aimed at our Government direct, in return 70,
assumptions on the part of the FrenA Gov.
eminent with reference to our poliS nth
other nations, with which France has S16ing
convention with us. These are grave and
weighty facts, which We feel certain the Gov
eminent of the United States cannot Snd will
not overlook, in whatever action it may feel
called on to take upon receiving Mr.. Mason 8
anxiously expected report of this extraordin-
airy interview.
An Important Bounty Land Papers Forger
Arrested.-S. Cole, Esq, Chief Clerk of the
Pension bureau, has, very recently, returned
from trip North, where with tho assistance
of Col. ]. N. Mott, U. S. Marshal of the North
srn district of New York, he effected the ar
rest of Anderson B. Graham, of Wayne county,
New York. a respectfully connected young
man, who has certainly been guilty of numer-
Gus forgeries of bounty land papers, on some
of which he has obtained land warrants unde.
the name of E. G. Ludlow. In some cases he
styled himself VIM. r. Graham, in preparing
forged papers in Oswego county. There are
eighteen cases already discovered in which
he is believed to have been the forger
He was arrested in Oswego county, and sufi-
,ient was discover ed from his conversation to
render it probable that he was connected reg
llarly in the business of forging land warrant
papers with Capt. Joseph Hill, who is to be
ried a second time, next week, in Philadel-
ohia, for large number of similar offences,
he jury having disagreed on tho Fl rst trial.
Also, with Captain Lewis, of Philadelphia,
Who not long since ran away, leaving his
oondsman for his appearance under similar
charge, Gin the vocative."

ion by the Atlantic, the United States War

'eive directions to get up steam for that end.
The Delaware Ele otion.-As strange as It

The popularity of Robert B. Riddle here
