ding their recent reply. In dismissing Minister
as unacceptable, the natural inference 10 be drawn
is, that an acceptable one would be welcomed.
And if this should be 30 emphasized az to remove
any misgivings on the subject, of course suy re-
naming shade of obstacle to full reconciliation
would at once disappear Things will probably
shape themselves after the fashion indicated.
There has been no hesitation about acting in this
matter, from the absence Of British documents, a.
has been stated. The whole case was put in Cls.
rendon's answer, for he would scarcely weaken his
position by an important omission. Two copies of
the Blue Book reached here by the Asia, for the
British and French Legations, but Mr. Dallas was
not provided with one in seasOn to be transmitted
by that steamer. That was Of no sort Of con.e-

REPLY TO GREAT BRITAIN.


WAsHISGTos, Thursday, May % lS55.
Mr.. Marcy is engaged in the preparation Of 8
reply TO Lord Clarendon's last paper. Is will
hardly be completed this week. There is every
disposition to receive the disavowsl of the British
Government in becoming spirit, while vindicating
the position OF our Administration, and not aban-
doniDg the personal issue involving Mr.. CHAMPION.
1t is supposed that the mode Of final arrangement
will be 90 couched as TO remove sll cause for eI-
ception, and relieve any well founded anxiety con-
cerDing the relations Of the two countries. An
amcable solution il contemplated if the feeling on
the other side be correspondingy sincere. An
effort is makirs to induce Mr. Clayton to qualify
his recent declarations regarding Mr.. Champion.
as TO admit his e1tricssion on the ground OF
mistake or Misrepresentation He is inclined to
hear these appeals, but is not decided.

In the Senate, the Senator from Virginia, who
Feels himself disgraced by association in that body
with Free State Senators, opened fire upon the
Naval Board. He defended the incapables, as
matter Of course, since not to do it would be to
turn bis back on his own State, which, furnishing
large share of the officers of the Navy, furnishes
at least al equal share Of the delinquency and i'm

MIR. Benjamin Of Louisiana, the gentleman who
80 recently made sudden summerset into the Dem
Ocratio ranks turned up to-day in an attack on the
President for vetoDg the bill to improve the mouth
of the Mississippi.
Mr.. Benjamin is unfortunate in being so soon
compelled to put himself in attitude Of hostility
to the Administration, whose supporter he has 40
lately become. But it is only on point where
old Wing and Democratic parties divided, and does
not touch the paramount dogma of the Democratic
faith as that faith is now expOunded. So long as
Mr.. Benjamin is faithful to Slavery he may be as
horetica as he likes on every other question with
entire immunity from party discipline. He will
not be read out of the party for the trivial oense of
holding to all his old political sentiments, provided
he Is loyal to Slavery. The position of Mr.. BeDja-
min is most significant sign of what the Demo
cratic party has become 1t establishes that that
party is now only fortress of Slavery, which re-
ceives defenders Of every stripe and hue of every
faith opinion and quality, the one sole condition
that they will man its guns ard fight all who at
tempt to resist its sway. J. S. P.

LFAyENwoRrH CITY, X. T., May Ia. 1856.
Yesterday morning meeting Of the citizens Of
Lawrence was convened in front Of the Free-Ststs
Hotel. to protest against the proclamation OF the
Marshal, which sent in my last. Judge Wake
6eld was called to the chair. and W. Hutchinson
was elected Secretary. The following preamble
and resolutions were adopted
~ ierels Ry sprocamstion 70 the people Of kansas
Territory by J. Il. Dcnsldson, United States Marshal
for karsSs Territory, issued on the llth day OF May,
1880 i sleged that certain judicial writs of arrest
have been directed 10 him by the Courts Of the
United States, &C. 10 be executed within the
County Of Douglas, ami that an attempt to execute
them by the United States Deputy. Marshal vsS
violently resisted by large number Of the cilikens
OF Lawrence and that there is every reason to be-
eye that any attempt 10 execute these writs wiz oe
resisted by large body of armed men there
tore, It'll
Reroired by this public meeting of the citizens OF
Lawrence held this 18th day Of May, 1885, That the
allegations and chsrges against contained in tho
Aforesaid proclamation wholly untrue in tact, and
that the conclusion entirely fase that drawn there
frUm; that the aforesaid Deputy Marshal resisted
IN No manner whatever by any person wbousoever in
the execution OF the said writs except by him whose
srrct the said Deputy Marshal seeking TO make;
and that now we have done heretofore, declare
willingness and determination, without resistance,

writs against us by the United States Marshal for
Kansas Territory and viii furnish him posse for that
purpose, if so requested; but that we are ready to
resist unto death The ryages and desostion of an in-
vsdiDg mOb.'
The people Of Lawrence arc really uneasy at tho
present aspect of affairs. 1t is just the season to
get in crops and IS the farmers busy there 10
reluc ance to call them from their labors to the de-
feuse Of the town, and thus after few weeks can-
paigniDg, have to depend for supplies on Missouri
for another year. dread that this judicious fear
may expose the place to some calamity; but If it
can be avoided it will be. As the Committee u
Congress are now here. and that cause for attack
ing Lawrence is removed, aud as Reeder and Rob-
inson both gone, the ostensiblo and real causes
OF attack are diminished Ii must not be concealed
that there is large body of armed men lowering
round Lawrence who thirst for its destruction.
We have just heard to-day, by man who has ar.
rived in Leayenworth from Lecompton, that thero
are | 200 men there; also, BY man from Kansas
City, that J. w. Brown of The Hratdcf Freedom.

FRANCE AND THE UNITED STATEs.-A Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald, in giving an
account Of the efforts Of NJ. de Sartges the French
Minister, to induce the American Government to ac
.cept the explanation of Mr.. Champion and Lord
Clarendon as satisfactory gives the suboned account
Of an interview between the Minister and Mr. Marcy
He represented that the continuance of peaceful
relations between England and the United States was
the earnest wish Of his master, the Emperor who
since his accession to the throne of France had per-
sonay, and through his representatives. evinced on
every possible occasion friendship to the Union.
Mr.. Marcy is said to have expressed satisfaction at
the assurance given, and remarked that it did not
correspond with other official statements which the
United States had received from parties of reputable
standing in their own country.
The Minister promptly interposed, and denied in
the frmest manner the truth of any report adverse
TO the one which he had just made, The scene at
this moment, according to representation, must have
been of interest, for Mr. Marcy, rising from his
seat, excused his absence for moment, when he re-
turned from an adjoining room with an original dis
patch in his hand addressed to the Secretary of War;
Mr. Davis, which he opened, and, by permission of
III. Sartiges, commenced reading extracts therefrom
IF e Now" said Mr.. Marcy, closing the document,
what have just read to youis from report of an
army commission which sent out by this Govern.
ment for the benefit of science; and am TO under
stand from the free assurance that you have given
that his Majesty, the Emperor, was ignorant of the
language used by his War Secretary to the officers OF
this mission to whom he not only declined extending
the courteses solicited but added to the refusal an
expression hoping that when they next meet it
might be ct the lannon's mouth" Mr. Marcy con
tnued :" This language is further corroborated by
dispatch to this department from our Minister at
Parisn Gzs
+ De Sartiges took hurried leave
