been received by the French ambassador
here, expressive of his governments SYM a.
thy with Spain in its present unpleasant dis
pute with the U. States. have strong rca-
sons to believe that this information is cor
rect, and its reaching me simultaneously with
the rumor of Spanish troops going to Rome,

had expressed willingness to send twenty
thousand men to Turkey, if France and En-

be atcn walls have oft resornded with the
voice Of many warm-hearted Mary lander
among whom Cecil has always had her repre-
sentatives; and an opportunity presenting it
SELF have awaited myself Of it..
For months past nothing has occurred to
disturb the good order and citizcn-like bear
ing of our inhabitants until last Saturday night
when our streets were made the scene of
most disgracetul occurrence and one too, that
resulted in the death of Il young man by the
name Of Dunbar. The circumstances were
these: AS young Mr.. McMurray and stu
dent from the Grammar School were passing
down Pitt Street, they were met by party
of rowdics who not only used very offensive
and abusive language, but one of them (the
deceased,) struck several blows at McMurray
only two of which took effect, whercupon Nc
Murray drew a dagger striking Dunbar upon
the right breast and intlicting a wound which
caused his death about an hour afterwards.
Immediately upon the inhiction of the blow,
McMnrray and his companion fastened home
unconscious, Gas he says,) Of having inflicted
fat ii wound. He was arrested the follow
ing morning and now awaits his trial in the
Dauphin county Jail. McMurray was young
man, but eighteen years Of age, printer in
one of the Offices of the place and sustained
very respectable character. Dunbar at the
time Of the transaction was under the inhu-
encc Of liquor. Immediately after receiving
the wound and being carried into neighbor-
ing house, his mother was there and the scene
that then TRANSFERRED was truly awful. The
whole occurrence is one ofthe most disgrace
full that has ever happened within the limits
Of the county and strongly urges the neccs-
sity for the passage of a Main Liquor Law.
Great preparations are being made at the
different Springs around Carlisle for the ac-
commodation of visitors for the ensuing sea-
son, and if you or any Of your readers intend
more Ilcious selection than by visiting Car
Isle at the time of CONNIE ncement, which oc-

yourselves of warm reception by all Mary
landers. A MARYLANDER.

WASHINGTON, May 3l.-At an early hour,
summoned special meeting of the Cabinet,
and the members were soon in attendance.
A number of Senators, probably twenty five,
amongst whom was Mr.. Cass. were present,
as stated, by request, at the executive man
sion, about the same time. The council did
not remain in session more than couple of
hours.
AS the news from Boston looked more pa
cific than otherwise, it is surmiscd that the
government received important dispatches
from Spain, or at least, was considering mat
tiers in that connection, probably the expect
cd proclamation or message of the President.

THE EASTERN WAR.-Impo,taa Rumors.-
The New York Times states that it has in.
formation through private and highly re-
spectacle sources in London, which indicate
that the Emperor of Russia is seriously inci-
ned to Withdraw from the position into which
he has been betrayed. The Times adds:
'.Our informant states that the recent at
tempt of Austria to reopen negotiations with
the Gar will afford the desired, ifnot indeed
the concerted opportunity. for taking the
first step in this direction. 1t is stated that
Baron Mcycndolif, the Russian Minister, has
assured the Emperor of Austria that the Aus
trian note, which had received the approval
o. all the ambassadors at the Court of Vienna,
will he answered in such manner as to show
the perfect sincerity of the Emperor of Rus
sia in denying all intentions Of conquest and
ACKNOWLEDGMENT to the dctrimcnt and prcju-
dice of the other powers, and to testify, at
the same time, his readiness to maintain
peace, if it be not made conditional on the ac-
ceptance propositions detrimental to the
interests, dignity and honor of his throne.
This reply ofthe Cabinet ofSt. Petersburg,
though vague in its meaning, will be framed,
says our informant, so as to intimate that the
Gar would not be unwilling to suspend hos
tlities, and 10 send a Plenipotentiary to a Euro
pean Congress-"
The Time is inclined to think the move, if
it be made is another Russian trick to post
ponc operations, and to secure the auxiliary
forces ofimpassablc roads, tempcstuous waves
and all the igor of a winter, that would be
the undoubted death of the "sick man."
