Cost OF LIVING IN PARIs.-The high cost
Of living is as much subject of complaint in
Paris as it is in this country. Beef costs
three francs or fifty-four cents pound. A
chicken costs five francs or nearly dollar
A turkey costs ten francs. A leg of lamb
which year ago sold for about three francs,
is not at present to be had under five; fish has
followed the asccnsional movement in pro.
portion. The exhibition of the Worlds In.
dustry would necessarily raise the price
and beef, it was expected, would be four
francs pound.

American Liberty on its Back,

FOREIGN JESUITlSM TRIU AlpIIANT +! I!
W. Editor There is q point beyond
which endurance ceases to be virtue, when
vulgar abuse, coming from however con-
tcmptible source, demands some other no.
tice than that silent contempt, which is in
general its best reproof. The CecH Democrat
Of last week, in the height of its triumphing
oveE-the Virginia election parades before the
people Of Cecil county coarse wood cut. in
tending to represent the downfall of the
mocracy. Stripped of its typographical sur
roundngs, this insulting picture represents
aplain American citizen lying on his back
and pleading for his life. while over him
brutal foreigner, his face half concealed by
shaggy beard, is lifting the battle axe to
strike the death Jlor. AT last we have the
secret OF the tremendous effort Tow being put
forth against the American party in this
country. A grand alliance of the foreign
born emissaries of foreign monarchics and
lesu'ts with naive born traitors, to crush
American liberty, not only to crush
but to KILL. In the height OF thcir triumph
they forgot to be cautious, and though the
American party have lost an election, they
have gained what is of infinitely more value
" pan vi Tue enemy 5 lnlenutd movements.
The American party is to be put down at the
ballot box-cvery office from the highest to
the lowest filled with foreigners and foreign
tools, and then the axe, welded by hands
fresh from the halls of the Inqusi,ion, will
give the last death blow to American liberty.
Let every intelligent citizen of Cecil county
examine this picture, and then let him ask
himself if he will quietly lie upon his back
while foreign assassin brandishes over him
his murderous axe; or quietly submit 10 niger
to the insults of a cowardly traitor, who is so
much stranger to common sense and com
mon decency as to place an American in so
degrading position.

SETTLEMENT or OUR Troubles WITH Spain.
We have already noted the fact that the
siege of Cuba had been raised Gen. Concha
is represented to have remarked to our nava
officers that the President had by his large
fleet ell, ctually put down fillbustcring. and
relieved him Of all anxiety, and obyiatcd all
danger of difficulty or collision. He, there
fore, relaxed the severity of his orders, and
now everything moves on in that quarter
peaccably and tremendously. The National
lntelligencer of Monday thus records the set
Element OF the two remaining questions OF
difficulty between Spain and the United
States:
The last steamer brought us private letters
from Paris communicating the agreeable in
formation that our Charge d'Allaircs at Mad
rid, Mr.. Perry, had obtained from the old
Spanish government an entirely satisfactory
adjustment Of the Eldorado case and that Of
the Vice Consul at Saeua la Grande, Mr..
Thompson. 1t is said, indeed, that Mr.. Per-
ny has succeeded so far in the latter case as
to obtain an order for the dismissal of the
Lieutenant Governor of Sagua la Grande who
caused the arrest of Mr.. Thompson.
AS a further security for peace we are
happy to learn by the same letters that the
Spanish government has, in the spirit of con
citation, issued Instructions for the cruisers in
the West indies which will prevent the re-
currcncc of any difficulty in that quarter, or
any just cause of complaint on our part. So
successful indeed has been our Charge DAT

The ATMoSPHERlCzL Expect OF TIE CAN
NoNADE AT SEBAsTopOL.-A correspondent
of the Post states that French sd10,it as
cribcs the unusual rains and atmospherical
disturbances over great part Of Europe to
the prolonged and terrible cannonadc in the
Crimea. 1t is a little curious that we heard
some days ago discussion upon the same
topic here by some scientific gentlemen, and
1t was observed that this fact was strictly in
accordance with the theory of Prof. Espy,
and was assented to by Argo and some of
the most accurate metcorolists in Europe.
Tie cannonade at Sebastopol was succeed
ed, as late accounts show, by profuse rains,
which filled the trenches, and the same in
lluencc extended over regions thousands of
miles distant. But it was rather in reference
to the late violent wlirlwinds and tornadoes
in various parts Of the world that the matter
was here discussed, and it was admitted that
the conclusion of so continuous and prodigi-
Gus rctonaton had also an immense effect
upon the great aerial circulation. Much
however, may he due to the action ofliberat-
ed caloric from the flame of the multitudin-
Gus discharges OIL heavy cannon, as well as to
the inter fusion of eXtrancous gases with the
atmosphere. This famous siege of Scbasto.
pol promises to lie a subject of interest to
men of science as well as to men of war.
In a conversation with some gentlemen at
tachcd to the Navy, we were informed that
during the Mexican war, when large num-
Der of armed ships arrived at about the same
lme at the Pensacola navy yard, their con-
tinued firing as each came into the harbor
was succeeded by tremendous whrIwind
which did much damage. We commend
this fact TO the attention of Lieutenant
Marry, whose particular business it is to
look after the winds and the courses of the
winds.

MEXICAN INJUSTICE TO AMERICANs.-Al letter
dated Tampico, Mexico, May 9th, recently
received by the State Department says that
the system of special concessio from Santa
Anna to European merchants to import for
eign merchandise at from twenty five to
forty per cent less duties than those speci-
fed in the established tariff, which Americans
are bound to pay has been most fearfully ex-
tended to the utter exclusion Of any partici-
patton on the part of American citizens in
the commerce between the two countries.
American merchants are reduced to the ne c.
essity of witnessing the products ofthe United
States contributing to the fortunes of Euro
pean merchants, whilst they are denied the
right of importing them under the penalty of
confiscation and fine to the market value of
the items in this place. This state Of things
certainly demands prompt measures ON the
part of our government.
