present regime, is such that, though possessing
inexhaustble resources, the French people will
not yield to the demand Of the Emperor, ex-
cept through compulsion. Those who are in
the secret Of the social habits and political ex,
pectations of the French, know well the danger
of recurring to such extremities. They have
patiently suffered the present state of things tc
prevail, from reluctance for revolution. Will
they submit to be burdened with taxes and
loans, and carry patience further? or viii they
incur the danger of new change? This i,
what we cannot fail to learn before long.

q KANSAS TARRITORY.


10 0CK City is located on Rock Creek, about
Ii one mile and half from the Vernillion
creek, and ten miles from the Kansas River, on
the Great Military Road from Fort Leayenworth
to Fort Riley. an the forks Of the roads already
extensively travelled leading to New Mexico by
way Of Fort Riley and to Salt Lake and Cali
fornia. 1t is aboHt ninety miles from the Mis-
souri, river, and thirty-fve from Fort Riley.
The proprietors are determined to have tie
or Lots, to those who want to build on liberal
terms. A public sale of Lots will not take place
until some time in the spring, due notice Of
which will be given. 49, .,ss
The country around Rock City is we'll timber
ed and watered, with good mill privileges and .
soil unsurpassed. The advantages for building
up town at this point are numerous, and are al
ready well appreciated. The valleys OF ths
Kansas River, Rock Creek, Vermillion, and
their tributaries all Of which are in the vicin-
ity OF Rock City, are susceptible of sustaining
dense population, who must trade to this point.
Added to this, are the advantages of trade BY the
navigation Of the Kansas river, only two miles
from the place which is navigable forsseyersI
months in the year, and also the great travel
that must pass through the place to New Mexi-
co, Salt Lake and California. ~
A view of the country and premises viii con-
vince any one that at this point town must Of
necessity grow up to be ofsome Importance
We have submitted few facts with view to
elict attention to the superior advantages this
place possesses, feeling satisfied that the loea-
tion will recommend itself, to the favorable con-
of the capitalist, the speculator, the
business man, the mechanic, the poor as well a.

Where Is Lawrence, the reservoir Tor the
overflow of thesAid Societies . Il is true
she is still situated on the Caw River, but
is now one Of the principal pro-slayery
towns IN Kansas. 8 - g -
And now, dear sir, 8 How me to give you a
description ofsthe manner In which the
poor victims Of the Aid Societies live. Ma
ny live in miserable canvas tents. with
scarce room enough for one manto stretch
himself. Others have been fortunate e.
niough to erect sod-houses, built on the
same plan as the Esquimanx snow huts,
with hole IN the top, which answers the
purpose both as awindomand chimney
small semi-eircular hole, about three feet
high, answers for the door. It is comical to
see the poor fellows when they peep out In
the morning, and how disappointed they
look, for perhaps they have dreams about
plenty of vegetables, beef, &c. jas hungry
man will have. II took occasion to enquire
of one of these poor fellows how he mana
ged to live. He said he hardly knew him.
self. The Missourians who are fast set
thing up the place, give them as much as
they can afford. He said he forgot his
hunger in his sleep. 1t is thus they live.
But things commence to assume different
aspect Since the energetic men of the
South have taken their march thither a
saw mill has been erected, and things are
commencing to assume a civilized form.
Leavenworth stands on an elevated bluff,
about two miles below the fort, and about
forty miles above Kansas city. It is the
finest site for town on the river, and is
destined to become, in my estimation, the
metropolis of the Northwest. 1t confirms
a fine hotel, between thirty and forty houses,
a steam saw mill completed, and another
near completion.
: In concluding this brief sketch of Kansas
as it is, allow me to inform you that write
disinterestedly, having no interest in the
aforementioned places, any further than
wishing them prosperity. The above I claim
to be a plain unvarnished description.
I am, sir, your obeoient servant,
