We are happy to announce that our ar.
rangemeuts for the re-opening of our House
are now complete, and that on Monday Morn
ing, February 10Th, We shall resume the regu-
lar business of our Office 3le
In making this announcement, we should do
injustice te our deep sense of obligation, did
we not embrace the opportunity it affords, of
bearing public testimony to the kind consider
alton and generous sympathy SO uniformly ex-
tended to Us since the issue of our card of 18th
January. M We are not insensible to either the
fact or its significance, that, during the entire
term of our suspension, we have been annoyed
by no manifestation of uneasy solicitude or dis
affection on the part of our friends; but have
the rather been cheered and encouraged by
their many proofs of unabated confidence We
have no disposition at the present time, to re-
cur to the immediate cause of our misfortune.
The principal facts have already been laid be-
fore the public, in the journals Of New York
ard St. Louis; and we are content that the
same public, without further statement or
comment on our part, should pronounce upon
their character. - Za"11I as g-...'.

AMERICAN SAILORS AT HAvRE.-The Havre, France
Courier gives the following account of collision
that occurred on the wharves of that port between
some American seamen and the gendasmery of the
French police:
"On Saturday evening, just as the American ship
Mountaineer, clearedtfor New York, was about to
leave the basin of the Barre the Bigadier Opron and
Gendarme Durel, of the maritime gendarmery, heard
a sailor belonging 10 that ship talking with some
women of Brittany. The provincial accent ne.
culiar to Lowar Brittany, which marked the manner
IN which the sailor spoke French caused the agents
OF the police force to suppose that the man was
deserter from the French merchant marine, and they
approached for the purpose of interrogatng him.
But the sailor had suspected their intention, and
climbed nimbly up the side of his ship whittier he
was followed by the gendarmes. Being requested to
go ashore for the purpose of giving explanations this
man formally refused to do so, and at this moment
the gendarmes saw themselves assaed and even
struck by the other sailors of the Mountaineer, who
had gathered around their comrade.
The brigader of the departmental gendarmes and
two OF his men, who upon the wharf, then came
up to the assistance of their comrades whom they
promptly rescued from the hands of the Americans
ny TINS time other maritime gendarmes, notified of
what was taking place, arrived upon the scene of
action and the Brgadier Opron, at the head of his
men, advanced in order to ascertain if the seaman in
question was really deserter. scene of which
the consequences mig hit haue been terrible took place
upon the ship. The sailors armed themselves with
o"o anu lusueu upon Tue gendarmes, VINO
mad to draw their sabes to protect themselves from
the Inturlated crew. This demonstration produced
Its effect. The troop of Americans was checked and
Kept back till the arrival of the Consul of the United
States, who declared that the gendarmery had no
right to visit American ship for the purpose of ar.
resting any one on board without special warrant
This tunconary moreover averred that the supposed
sailor was an American citizen, and the gendarmes,
in the presence of this official declarations were con-
strained to retire. In few minutes after this the
Mountaneer got out of the port and sailed for lis
destination"
This difficulty occurred in execution of the order
issued from the French Ministry some months ago,
and which signalized American vessels especially to
the gendarmes as afording asylum to French de-
serters.
