How Riots are Coz In.

The following. which we take from the
New Albany Tribune. shows very plainly who
it is that gets up riots between foreigners and
natives and also explains the anxiety of the
Anti Americans 10 throw the blame of them
upon the American party. The statements
o the Louisville Democrat, concerning the
Louisville riots, were quoted as reliable by the
Anti American press; but tie following will
show that it is utterly irresponsible
The Catholic priest Of New Albany has
lately received three anonymous letters warn
ing him that his church would be attacked
and burned. To the first two he paid no at
ten'ion, but the third named the night on
which the attack was TO be made He took
il to the Mayor OF the city, showed it to that
gentleman, and asked him what he was to do.
The Mayor replied that be did not know
that lie could do nothing. Tie priest is

church was his property. and he meant to

The priest did not shoot, for he thought al

he was determined to avoid, if possible. We

We first called upon the Mayor, who in

In company with the Mayor, we then cali

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18th
They are working up smart war fever
here, which may be famed into flame,
somehow, by the time Congress meets.
The "Uiion," Government organ,) of
this morning, has a fierce article, by way
Of reIoinder TO the London Times. II
speaks OF It's recent TRADE, in reference TO
the West India fleet. as an 'nsult to the
United States but the Union does not
think the "Thunderer" reflects the senti-
ments of the British people.
This rejoinder to the Times, is said to be
"by authority" .....
But, more important than newspaper
editorials, is the fact that Commodore
Paulding has been selected, being regard
cd by the Secretary of the Navy as pru-
dent officer to visit San Juan de Nicaragua,
with his flagship Potomac. He was clio ct
ed with the Secretary OF War this afternoon
relative to the course to be pursued by him
in that quarter. ... ..
Notwithstanding the avowed innocent
objects of the British fleet just despatched
to The West Indies, the movement is re-
garded here with Indignation, if not as an
incipent step towards hostile act, and
hence additional orders hare been sent 10 the
naval stations to-day, by The Nary Depart
ment in reference 10 preparations.
Put no faith in the report that a quarrel
has occurred between the Administration
and Palmerston's Ministry in relation to
the Central American Treaty. The In.
telligcncor to-day states ION high diploma
tic authority that there has been no harsh
correspondence ON that subject with the
British Minister Of Foreign Affairs, and
that our Government has made no other
demands" than such as it might properly
make asking the British Government to
stare definitely its construction of the treaty,
to which il has not replied. The ntima-
tion, therefore, that there has been a rup-
ture of relations in this particular is non
well founded. .'rnis ff lev
