translated from the Courier des Etats Unis:
Robert Schuyler died about the mid.
die OF last month, y his residents in the en-
virons Of Genoa, where he had been living
for some time in the the strictest incognita
with his family.
He was not enriched by his monstrous
frauds; Cd the contrary he received from
America the funds necessary for his subsis.

The place OF his residence would have
been known long time ago il certain per.
sons, occupying important positions in the
management Of several railroads, and es.
pecially Of the New Haven Railroad, had not
been deeply interested in securing his silence
and absence from the country.
Since his departure from America, his
health has been on the decline, and he final
ly died of grief and modification.
Several eminent tinanciers Of New York
will not be sorry to learn the news Of his
death. lie has left, as I am informed, o

The Kansaa Treaty.


We have nowhere yet seen copy of the
treaty Of peace" between Gov. Shannon
and the Lawrence people in Kansas, and its
precise contents remain matter Of dispute
The Lawrence men clam to have gained all
they asked, while the slave state men claim
that tho Lawrence men were completely
cowed and brought to terms. II is admitted
that the Lawrence men agreed TO give up
offenders among them to be tried by the
laws Of the territory, but they assert that as
no regular writs had been issued for the ar.
rest of Branson and others, this article in
the treaty was mere Formally, there being
no Offenders among them to deliver up. The
following from correspondent Of the Mis-.
souri, Republican, q gentleman said by that
paper to have large fortune at stake in
Kansas, and who accompanied Gov. Shan
non to Lawrence, gives the fullest particu.
lars, though apparently colored, Of the terms
of the treaty we have seen in any account
yet published.

were all well armed with Sharpe's rifles, and

either side, | am also Of opinion that the
greater portion would have been killed. and
no doubt many Of Cur men would also have
suffered. We numbered many more than
they did. Their force was greatly over.
rated, and could not possibly been over four
or five hundred. We also had great many
OF Shapes rifles, many moro than they i'm.
agined, besides our cannon.
Gov. Shannon brought them 10 terms. =
They agreed, and bound themselves to abid.
the laws, and assist in enforcing them, until
such time as, the Supreme Court decided
the legality of the Legislature, and il so ever
afterwards aud verify believe they will,
for am sure they saw the predicament they
had got themselves into.
There are evidently great many very
good citizens here, as well as many very
bad ones. who are always agi.atng and
keeping the place in commoiion. After the
treaty, which is very lengthy, and has many
specifications, and was written by Governor
Shannon, had been signed by Gen. Robinson
and Col. Lane, on the part Of the citizens,
they accompanied us 10 Franklin, where
they met large number of our officers.
Many speeches and pledges on both sides
were made, and a friendly interchange and
farewell took place-the ''law and order
men" believing it was better to settle it thus
than by fighting, knowing that many would
have been killed on both sides. ....
