A PUBLIC EXECUTION IN INDIA.--A writer

of the execution of eighteen mutineers At

GEN. DEEvERs INSTRUCTIONS admin.
istation has published its letter of instructions
to Gen. Denver, by which he is to be governed on
assuming the Offices of Secretary and acting Gov
eTnor of Kanzas. The removal Of Secretary STAN
ton, it says, was occasioned By his converting the
territorial Legislature The drift Of the letter is
to sustain the action of the Leeompton Conven-
tion, and to secure the holding of the elections
provided by that body, both the one at which the
slave question in the constitution is to be voted
upon, and that, on the 26th Of January, when the
officers Of the State government, under that con-
stitution, to be elected For this purpose, the
troops Of the United States are placed at his call
and it is suggested that "it may be wise pre-
caution to have them stationed in advance with
in reach Of those places, where, in his judgment
their services are likely to be required
The instructions say, further
"The territorial Legislature doubtless convened
on the 7th inst. and while it remains in session
its members are entitled to be secure and free
in tneiE deliberations. It's rightful action must
also be respected. Should it authorize an cleo
ton By the people for any purpose, this election
should be held without interruption no less than
those authorized by the convention"
After speaking Of the importance that the peo-
pie Of Kanzss should determine the questions be-
rethem, it adds;
sit is important, also, that in securing to them
the protection to which they are entitled, great
care should be taken not to organize any llsqal
authority.
1t is proper to add that action of the terrific.
rial Legislature about to meet can interfere with
tie election of the Dist Of December and 26th of
January, in the mode and manner prescribed BY
the constitutional convention"
We would ask Mr.. Cass, why no action Of this
Legislature lean interfere with the elections of the
2lst Of December and 18th of January in the mode
and manner prescribed by the constitutional con.
vention'i Did not the convention derive all lie
authority from legislative enactment, and that,

ADMINISTRATION CoNsIsTgNcY. = The adj
ministration is getting to be reliable like the
seven tempered man" who was mad all the
time, we begin to know where to find it.
When it lays down principle with great en-
phasis, we know that it means to pursue
the precise opposite when it indicates a line
OF policy, and pledges itself TO that policy be-
fore the country, we have only to look exactly
IN the contrary direction, and there we shall
hnd it. This is a great improvement upon
Pierce, who occasionally astonished the coun-
try by keeping his pledges, and once or twice
contounded all calculations by doing very
nearly what be said he would. No wonder
the man was not nominated. Mr.. Blu
chanan is guilty of no such Inconsistencies !;
he takes the latest and most enlarged views
OF the duties of his office, which is, by the
grace of the South President of the Demo-
cratic party. He knows what it is necessary
to promise; he knows what it is necessary to
doi and he knows that there is no dependent
connection between them.
When the President says that the people of
kanzas are entitled to choose their own in
situations, without interference, we see that
he means TO impose upon them form of gov.
eminent. to which, about nineteen twentieths
OF them are bitterly opposed. When he says
thtI the independent treasury has been en-
tirely successful, and that the government
ought to deal in nothing but gold and silver,
and that the banks which do not pay specie,
ought to be put into bankruptcy, we see that
the treasury is running dow to its last dol
lar, and that the mode Of relief is the issue of
$2O,OO0;O00 irredeemable paper. When he
says that flibustering shall be put down, we
see that Walker leaves the principal Gulf
port almost without the afectation of conceal
ment, passes under the guns of United
States irtgate. and lands his men. 1t is said
that the captain Of the Saratoga has been re-
called for the negligence; nonsense his Of
fence was that he did not salute Walker, To
leave no doubt on the subject, the President
appoints one Of the most noted Of the civil
hlibusters, coadjutor of Walkers plans, to
the Central American mission.
Whenever the President therefore, ex-
presses himself decidedly, we know lust
where TO look for him, aud consistent per-
slstence in this policy will give his admins
uation advantages, in the way of commune
eating with the people, such as neither Of his
immediate Democratic predecessors possessed,
and will entitle it to measure of public CONT
dence, which, II not Of tho most compliment.
tary nature, is yet very satisfactory 70 both
parties, when they come to understand each

WASHINGTON, Dec. PA requisition was
made on the Treasury, today, for $3.50, 900,
for the pay of members OF Congress, from the
4th of March last, under the joint resolution
recently passed. Of this amount over $780,
900 has already been discussed in gold.
Contracts for engraving the plates of the

denominations will be $lOO, 5000, $1,000.

nearly year ago in reference to the lombard.
ment of Greytown. Count Sartiges, it APP

tanned by the French subjects, who, he says,
found 1t physically impossible to remove their
goods from the confagration caused by the
movement of the commander of the United
States sloop- of-war Cyane. Gov. Marcy, in
reply, informs him that the President has not
been able to find upon what principles of
right, or even of equity, the reclamation can
be sustained, and, in long despatch, ex-
pounds to him the international law. Count
Sartlges acknowledges its receipt, and says he
will not fail to send Gov. Marcys communi.
cation to the French government. No re-
sponSe to the latter is embraced in the docu.

information included any correspondence with
Great Britain, none was transmitted to the

unavoidably made in consequence. One sem

HAohANOAUN fol-
lowing is from the Philadelphia Inquirer
"a friend from Washington informs us that
the deepest anxiety is felt BY the National
| Administration, in relation to the position of
Judge Douglas and his friends. Mr.. Bu-
chanan was determined at first to declare omen
war and hence the removal of Acting Gov
ernor Stanton But the mastery speech of
the Senator from Illinois, together with the
scathing letter of Governor Walker, fell like
bomb-shells in the vicinity of the White
| House, and disposition is now manifested
IN several quarters, to reconcile the misun-
derstanding, The orders that We're at first
sent forward, to denounce the Judge and the
| Governor as deserters, have been recalled, and
temporary truce is talked Of 1t is appre-
hended that the division in the Democratic
| party would prove entirely too formidable.
ana that hence reconciliation should, if pos
| sible, be secured"
The correspondent of the New York Com
niercial says
"Report says that Senator Douglas is not
only content with his new position, but iubi-
liant in the same, and he never spoke with A
greater appearance of seli-cont1ence and ap-
probation, or in tone more indicative of con-
templated triumph, than he did yesterday in
reply 10 Mr. blglef.
The correspondent of the New York Post,
says;
"Mr. Douglas is crowded with letters,
Thousands Of people Of the great North west
are giving him encouragement. On Saturday
he received a bushel Of these letters. ono
man writes, 'Ninety.nin out of every hun
dred OF the people of the West, and all the
Democrats of the West, will support Won In
your present position.' In one Of the great
Western cities, so great was the demand for
his speech, that when the first mail install.
ment arrived, they were sold at a dollar
apiece" t''

the Calhoun Constitution in Kanzas though
it should require the withdrawal Of troops

The CorToN MARKET. The telegraph report
from New Orleans, it will be noticed, quotes
a large decline in the price of cotton since the
Adriatic's news was received, The price of
middling has declined 91-2 cents, which is.
we believe, as low as the lowest point reach
ed during the height of the panic, We do
not believe the retrograde movement will per-
manently stop till this description Of cotton
has fallen as low as cents. The truth is,
that the trial has been fully made to force up
the price of cotton goods commensurate with
the price of the raw material for two or three
years past, and the attempt has signally failed.
In fact, no one event has done so much to
bring about the present financial revolution
as the losses of the cotton manufacturers in
pursuing their business under the disadvan-
tages in which they have been involved.
The production of cotton goods has been in
excess of the demand, and this operated
doubly against the business, increasing the
price Of cotton, and depressing the price OF
goods. The manufacturers will not, for some
years, be lkly to fail again into such mis-.
take. The Northern manufacturers will not
buy more than one fourth, perhaps not more
than one fifth of the cotton they took last
year, say 10000 against 100000 bales. and
the additional quantity thrown upon the
English market, with no competition from
the home manufacturers, and none from
France, will inevitably force and keep cotton
down to low figure.

The following paragraph in Senator Doug
lass speech, contains a great truth, we'll ex :
pressed, that should be well pondered by those
having anything to do in the Kanzas affairs.
Speaking of bringing the controversy to a
close, he asks, "But how are we to do it y
and answers
ut must be done upon the principles of
eternal justice and truth, or st toiH not stan
closed. Congress must terminate it upon the
principles of self government, or they will
not have a republican form of government.
No system of patching.up and trickery will
settle this question. Instead of having peace,
itwould be only the beginning Of new con.
troversy, and it would be necessary to increase
the army, and use the military power, if the
majority were to be subjected to the oppros-
sion Of the minority"
