Count Orloff Gently heard AN audience
of the Emperor, to ask for explanations on
the subject ofthe treaty of 4 prii 10, between
Eng land France aud Austria The Rus
sian plenipotensiary represented 10 his
Majesty that this treaty, unexplained, WAS
construed by his government as symptom
of want of confidence in the good faith of
Russia. The Emperor Napoleon protested
against any such Interpretation. ard assur-
ed Count Orlotf that he had only signed
the treaty in compliance with the wishes of
England and Austria, who desired 10 have
a pledge of his good feeling toward them.
Count Orlotf replied with as much vivacity
as it WAS possible for diplomatist 10 ex.
hibit in presence of reigning monarch,
that the treaty OF peace Of March 30 etfec,u.
ally secured the independence and integri.
ty of the Ottoman empire, that the Enpe.
ror Napoleon had, before the signing of
that treaty, given strong assurances OF his
desire TO cultivate intimate relations with
Russia, and that the unexpected step which
hal been taken was calculated 10 show
doubt and distrust iu the mind of his im.
pcrial master.
During this remarkable interview the
Emperor, Napoleon Ill, preserved that calm
and impenetrabIe dcmeanor for which he
is remarkable, while Count Orlotf scarcely
concealed the excitement and surprise
which the new situation had produced in
his mind.

A NEW ERA.-The South Carolnian, in
alluding to the public demonstrations in
approval Of Mr.. Brooks, uses the following
language:
"And, to add the crowning glory to the
good work, the slaves Of Columbia have
already handsome subscription, aud will
present an appropriate token ftheir regard
to HIM who has made the first practical
issue tor their preservation and protection
In their rights and enjoyments as the hap.
plest laborers on the face OF the globe"
Was the like OF this ever before published
in newspaper in South Carolinal The
negroes Of Columbia have actually partici-
pated in tie congratulations of Mr.. Brooks,
and the South Carolinan lauds it as 'lhe
erowning glory 10 the good work." Now,
these meetings in South Carolina TO sustain
Mr.. Brooks rs counter 10 those at the North,
are proper enough. But when in the cap.
ital of tho State slaves are permitted, nay,
applauded, and urged to take part in our
political movemen,s-to unite in popular
demonstraions-tor raise subscriptions, and
present their tokens of approval to our
public men-it is, indeed. spectacle AS
disgusting ts 1t is novel. We blush for the
State when such things are permitted. Ii
our slaves can publicly congratulate, may
they not publicly condemnl And if one
portion are permitted to laud Mr.. Brooks,
why may not another, il disposed, sympa-
thize with Mr.. Sumnerl
According to the Caro!iuian, the approv-
nj of Mr.. Brooks fellow citizens. their con-
gratu'ations and testimonials are complete
ly obscured by "the crowning glory" of
this negro demonstration! And in the
same view we suppose that the negro de.
rutaiion-and why should not there be
one.--when it arrives in Washington, will
take precedence over their masters, while
they presen: to Mr.. Brooks their appropri.
ate token.
Such a proceeding, while it o1ends every
sentiment of Carolina society, is calculated
to bring ridicule and disgrace upon the
whole movement-@ Charleston Nercurv.

Hon. Preston s. Brooks.


This gentleman arrived in this City by the Raleigh
and Castor Railroad on Tuesday evening last, and
took lodgings at the Yarbrough House. The news
of his arrival soon spread throughout the City, and
there was spontaneous outpouring of many of our
citizens, irrespective of party, to manifest their ap-
proval OF his recent conduct in chastisng the scoun
drel Sumner. Two or three barrels, filled with
rosin, were set on fire in front of the Yarbrough
House, and the crowd having collected gave three
hearty cheers, which were repeated, and then loud
calls were made for I" Brooks" In obedience to this
call, Mr.. Brooks appeared at one of the upper win
dows of the Hotel and addressed the assemblaee in
brief and neat speech thanking them for the COM
piment paid him, and touching modestly upon his
affair with Sumner At the conclusion of his speech
three more cheers were given, and the crowd quiet
~ dispersed Many Of our citizens availed them.
selves of the opportunity to make his acquaintance,
and all were pleased with his gentlemanly bearing
and fine personal appearance. He is indeed noble
specimen Of the true Southern gentleman.
Auch to the regret of our citizens, Mr.. Brooks
could not be prevailed on to spend day with u.s.
lie took the morning train on the N. G. Railroad on
wednesday. The condition of his family was such
