informed as to the meaning of the expe-
dition. The General returned as an an
swer, that ''by the treaty of Paris, Cir
cassia has been ceded to Russia, and ]
have come to take possession"
Sefer Pasha promptly responded that
Circassia was an Independent country;
that nobody but the inhabitants had a
right to dispose of it; and that if the

the Crcassians would compel them to
leave.

ALL IN FUN.-The Richmond En-
quirer pleads the plea that its late arti-
cles in favor of the revival of the African
slave trade, were all in fun. We shall
probably next learn that all the late dis
union plots and harangues of Toombs,
Wise, Slidell, Mason, Clingman, and such,
were all infun-that theassault of Brooks
upon Sumner was all in ftn-that the
doingS of the border ruffians, under poor
Pierce, in Kansas, have all been in fun
and that the whole of the late despo-
tic terrorism of the South, and the threats
and plots of the fcrocious disunionists
and treasury robbers, are but the various
parts of broad and amusing joke
Perhaps we shall have change in fun
in month or two. Our season of fun
will commence with the Inauguration.
Our Southern blood and thunder chaps
have had their share.
