tion in Paris, and caused further decline
in the French funds.
1t has also no less surprised and alarmed
our own government. We were informed
last night that Lord Cowley is expected in
London to take the instructions of his gov
ernment on the subject.
The London Times says: I" A number
Of rumors were circulated that conferences
at Paris had taken an unfavorable turn,
and as some persons were ready to believe
that all the precautions that were taken
for secreSy had merely proved useless
against the means of information possessed
by few of the speculative dealers on the
stock exchange, fall occurred of more
than one per cent. As the close of bust
nes approached and some Of the rumors re.
ceived confirmation, rally occurred.
Looking at the agitation on the Lon.
don stock exchange, the Paris money mar
ket may be considered to have exhibited
great frmness,"
The opinion increases that Immediately
after peace is proclaimed general Euro.
pean Congress will meet to re-adjust the
balance of power.
Active preparations for a continuance oi
the war prevails on all sides.
An armistice until the end of March had
been officially announced, and was made
known to the Crlmean armies. 1t is not

Peace In Kansas.

Washington, Feb 22.-Inteligence was
received by the government this morning
Icontaing assurances that the border coun-
ties Of Missouri would -ucqniescc in the
present state Of things in Kansas, and make
no aggressive movement. The president
instructed Gov Shannon before leaving
to visit these counties personally, and say
if any iHrasiOH IodS attempted IL lcOuld be re-
sisted leih all the poirer he could command ;
also to say to the people Of Kansas that
the same authority would be exerted if any
inSurrectionary demonstration occurred.
If the Topeka convention assemblies, q
civil process will be sued out against the
governor and other officers, on the ground
of the territorial law that they are assum-
ing functions to which they have not been
legally elected or appointed. The same
law prevails in most Of the states. No
military force will be employed unless the
civil process is resisted. Republican in
structionS have been sent out by a special
messenger, who started Wednesday night,
to members of the Topeka convention, de-
string them merely to organize and adjourn,
so as to be prepared for other movements
hereafter. With the precautions on both
sides no collision is now apprehended.
The New York Tribune, speaking Of. the
Presidents proclamation on Kansas mat
ters, is forced to make tie following ac-
acknowledgement We commend it to the at
tention of New England fanatics:-
ITO REPRESS THE BORDER
RUFFIANS AND KEEP THEM AT
HOME, toe beliere 10 be The real object of The
orders lately Sent to COL Sumner to dct on
The requisitiOn Of Cor. Shannon. We have
confidence in the good sense of both Col.
Sumner and Gov Robinson, and have not
the least apprehension that the meeting Of
the free state legislature and the orgauza-
tion Of the free state government, will lead
to the slightest collision between the United
States troops and the citizens of Kansas
As to the border ruflians, the idea Of en-
countering the troops Of the United States
will make them quiet as lambs. Persons
intending 10 more to Kansas, may 60 zoe
think, in full assurance Of finding things
more quiet, and life and property more secure
there than al any ti~e since The first border
rH1idn iRpasion."

WAR DEPARTMENT, l.
Washington, Feb. Is, 1856,
Sir The President, by proclamation,
warned all persons combined for inserrec-
ton or invasive aggression against the or
ganized government Of the territory Of
Kansas, or associated to resist the due ex.
ecution Of the laws therein, to abstain from
such revolutionary and lawless proceedings,
and has commanded them to disperse and
retire peacibly to their respective abodes,
on pain Of being resisted by his whole con.
stitutional power r.a.,t n
If, therefore, the governor Of the terri.
tory, 6ndidg the ordinary course of judicial
proceedings and the powers vested in the
U, S. marshals inadequate for the suppress
sion {Of insurrectionary combination, oil
armed resistance to the execution of the
law, should make a requisition upon you to
furnish military force TO aid him in the
performance Of that official act, you are
hereby directed to employ for that purpose
such part Of your command as may in your
judgment consistently be detached from
their ordinary duty.
In executing this delicate function of the
military power Of the United States, you
will exercise much caution to avoid, IL pos
sible, collision with even insergent citizens,
and will endeavor to suppress resistance tC
the laws and constituted authorities, but
that moral force which happily in ouI
country is ordinarily sufficient to secure
respect to the laws Of the land and the
regularly constituted authorities Of the
government. You will use sound discre
ton as to the moment at which the further
employment Of the military force be dis
continued, and avail yourself Of the FIRST
opportunity to return with your command
to tho more grateful and prouder service
of the soldier, that Of common defence.
For your. guidance in the premises yor
are referred to the act Of 28th Of Feb
I795, and Sd of March 1907, see military
laws PIP 30I and 1913, and to the proclama
tion of the President, copy Of which il
herewith submitted. Should you need fur
ther or more specific instruction, or should
in the progress Of events, doubts arise il
your mind as to the course which it may bC
proper for you to pursue, you will commu
nicate directly with this department, stating
the points upon which you wish to be in
formed.
