BY that law of human sympathy which pushes
nations and communities TO exalt the labOrs of
man who occupies position of antagonism to the
pow ers which govern him, Gen. Bosquet stands in
fair way to carry off the principal honors Of the
day at the taking of the Malakof Tower. This
General who is said to be the first military genius
now in the service of France, is Republican, and
has always opposed the present Emperor. He
was ordered to the CIimea because Canrobert,
recurring his eminent military abilities, insisted
upon it, and for tie same reaiOn Pelissier gave
him the post of honor in the attack on the Mala-
koff Many stories, no doubt of an exaggerated
character are in circulation in regard to his
bravery, and the stratsgems which he adopted on
that day in carrying the redoubtable tower. But
lis wellk military qualities the uniform
success which attends him, and his honest and per-
sistent opposition to the Emperor's political ideas,
have given him place in the hearts of the French
people. which secures for him brilliant future.
genuine enthusiasm pervades French circles in
favor Of their General, to the almost complete for
getfulness Of Pelissier.
There is q universal call from the French nation
for baton for Gen. CaDrobeIt, and the time now
having gone by in which the honor could have been
appropriately conferred on him, a report has been
put in circulation that he is to be called to the
office of the Secretary of War, Marshal Valiant
retiring from fatigue and indisposition. The new
office would be accompanied with the title of
Marshal, and thus the difficulty would be obviated

The presence of Mr.. Mason, and the members of
the Legation, in full uniform, at the Te Deum
which was pronounced at Notre Dame on Thurs
DAY last in honor of the vctofy at Seyastopol, is
very generally condemned by Americans as not re-
CURED nor even proper, in the position in which the
United States stands to the question at issue.
Leuis Napoleon certainly has no right to demand
that the whole American nation, represented in
the person of its Minister, shall dress itself in
Court costume, and 60 upon its knees in side
aisle in his presence, and return thanks that q
battle has been gained over a nation with which
we are not only on COED terms, but with which
we baye the most intimate commercial and dplo-
matte relations
Curious reports are in circulation IN regard to
Russian interference in the Sound Dues question,
bat they are undoubtedly tissue Of falsehoods
With the exception Of one labored article, nothing
new has transpired in regard to this threatening
question since last referred to the subject. In
the article alluded to, the ground is taken that the
settlement of this question pertains properly and
only to the European States that the disputed
ground is European, and was under the con-
ttOl and regulation of the European powers long
before the United States came into existence; and
that acting upon the doctrine enunciated BY the
United States that she would look with jealous
eye upon any interference of European states in
the Western hemisphere, Europe would claim and
assert the right to settle all such questions upon
European soil. The article in question has been
extensively quoted
The Statistical Congress, which has just closed
ts session, had its harmony interrupted by an event
which deserves notice. Before the opening il was
agreed on that Cabinet Minister should preside,
and that 10 paper should be read on political econ
omy, or on subjects that would be likely to bring
updiscussons on government administration This
would naturally exclude all statistical remarks on
the development of the United States. and it was
exactly srch statistic, that they wished TO avoid
The great development of the United States, and
